Family-friendly holiday rentals in Playa El Tunco

We had an amazing experience at Joe's place in Xanadu. Although we came across a couple of glitches, Joe quickly responded to my messages and had assistance readily available. He's also a very caring host. One suggestion I would make is probably access to better internet or WiFi. During my stay, we had a couple of minor health issues going on and it took some effort to get a good signal to communicate with Joe, Uber drivers and other family members to ask for assistance. I found a few spots around the house with relatively good reception, however, in instances when it's hard to move around or want to stay away from the heat, a better signal would have taken that additional stress off. Other than that, Joe's place is wonderful and he is an amazing host. Highly recommend him and his place. Thank you for being such an amazing host.

Oscar was a great host. He was very attentive and catering to our requests. He was always very responsive and helpful when responding to us. Would definitely recommend the house for larger parties as the house is big. There is a lot of nature and the house has beautiful views. Just remember that with nature comes a lot of bugs so be mindful of that.

This place was great. Awesome hospitality. The space was more than enough room for 3 people with all the amenities that we needed and then some, the area was very secure. The beach is a short distance away and was beautiful. Cannot say enough how great the place was. Thank you very much for the pleasant stay.

Beautiful place! Outdoor space was just as represented. We loved it. The pool was huge. The location was awesome. We loved the beach area. There is no direct access from the house to the beach. You walk down the driveway and road to get there. It’s a short walk. Ricardo the caretaker was awesome. He cooked us food one night and it was phenomenal. The driveway is extremely steep and took some getting used to. The house has different levels and sections of the house. It does need some updating. AC worked great! House fit both our families well.

I absolutely loved the house it is beyond beautiful I think more beautiful than the pictures. Everything was clean and well organized and the guardians taking care of the home are so helpful and kind. They give you a tour of the home and offer help of any kind that you might need for your stay. I forgot some items in the home and they were kind enough to meet me when I returned for them. They truly offer you everything you need in a home which sometimes is rare to find especially with a home for large groups. The pool is so gorgeous we got to watch the sunset as we swam as the view overlooks the sea. I will definitely recommend and would love to come back. Thank you!

Liz's property was gorgeous which would be featured in a magazine. The outside was well maintained and well thought out and could tell that the designer payed close attention to detail to the outside of the property. The pool and hottub were gorgeous but didn't get as warm as we would've liked but fun all the same. The views are absolutely amazing and watching the sunrise is not to miss. Davide who looked over the property was very helpful. The inside of the house has a very rustic feel and you have an abundance of dishes and cutlery for guests to use. One of the rooms are separate from the house which hosts a full bathroom bedroom and living space. Two extra toilets are right outside the house that looks newly built and modern. Thanks Liz for the experience!

Amazing location and place to stay, the views are immaculate and the hammocks made it all the more relaxing!! The place was quite clean despite the years long wear and tear on the facilities. Check in worked, but would have been a bit difficult if you do not speak Spanish as there was a security gate with a guard asking where you are trying to go. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here! The people maintaining the place were very friendly and kind :)

everything would’ve been perfect except for the one thing the made me leave early: no wifi signal in the main room where i slept and where I needed it to work and watch my steaming apps. i tried to set up myself the wifi extender but it did not work at all. tried several times. as someone who needs a relatively fast but absolutely stable internet connection to work, this was a deal breaker. I ended up leaving a day earlier, paying for an extra day for nothing. they told me i could work near the entrance to the apartment where the wifi was available but how practical is this?

We absolutely LOVE Rancho Cajun! Everything about it is perfect. It’s beautifully decorated and homey. It’s always spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well stocked and equipped with pots and pans and dinnerware for a crew. Dianne is a fabulous host who accommodates every request she possibly can. The beds are all very comfortable and the AC’s and room darkening blinds make every room a cave for a wonderful nights sleep. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE MORE HIGHLY!!! I am a non Spanish speaking American and have never felt unsafe or unable to get around in the area ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Totally recommended✨, it is a very nice place to spend with friends, family or couple, the place is quiet , the climate is pleasant ✨

Spectacular location and property, and the loveliest family who take exceptional care of you the whole time! Don Dimas and Dońa Estrella (sp?), Alejandra and Cesar are fantastic; as was Carlos our host. Very responsive, helpful, good natured. Nothing was a problem. And they prepare fabulous meals! This property is super unique on the coast- the views and location are second to none and miraculously you don’t hear the road/trucks at all. Very private, very peaceful, very beautiful with green grass, palm trees, plumerias and other blooming flowers. Easy to get to the beach for walks and swimming. As other reviewers have mentioned the home, though lovely, is a bit tired and in need of a fresh coat of paint. A/C worked well and the beds were comfortable. Grateful to have stayed here and look forward to returning one day!

Location was great to get to beaches, surrounding restaurants are good, kitchen at the house was stocked with all kitchen supply we needed, door men were pleasant and made sure the area was safe, Lindsey was easy to get a hold of, and overall my family and I had a great time. A good place to disconnect and relax for sure. Make sure to bring books, playing cards, or other things for the down time at the house. There was some DVD movies, but we didn’t watch any of the TV’s. Great time laying in the hammock by the pool and reading was super relaxing to me.

Super-friendly and respectful. No complaints over here! Thanks for everything.

Great apartment with modern amenities and finishes. Easy walk to restaurants at the WTC. I would definitely stay again.

Amazing stay ! Jose is a great host , we recommend this place.

This location is by far the best air bnb we’ve stayed at. The view is beautiful, everything is very clean and the foliage is beautiful. The host is amazing and the five cats she’s got here are beautifully taken care of. We will definitely be coming back and booking this air bnb for our next trip.

It was an incredibly enjoyable stay! The views alone were amazing in itself. A/c in both rooms was a plus. The pool and house were well maintained as well. We will definitely be back!

The place is exactly like the pictures, Sussy was very attentive and the staff at the ranch very helpful, the dogs are very friendly. No surprises or anything hidden, what you see is what there is and we had an amazing time! Recommended. :)

We have traveled all over the world and we believe we know when we have found a great spot to return with family and friends and this is one of them.! We had a very relaxing family time starting with the stunning beach view directly in front of us to the relaxing private community surroundings the nice home and pleasant rooms and space in general. The place is a must to stay at when you visit La libertad, El Tunco and all the surfing events too which we had a chance to experience while there 😊 We thank the host and staff for such a nice experience.

The space was plenty large for our group. We had a few relatives stay with us the first night but were a group of 8 for a majority of the time so we had ample space. The onsite staff was incredibly helpful and we enjoyed the privacy of the space to spend time as a family. The location is not super walkable and as others have mentioned is on a busy street, but it felt very safe. The photos near the pool are very explicit that they were taken in 2020, so take that into account when considering the condition of the poolside furniture. Overall, the space is somewhat dated and could use a minor facelift but is as described in the listing. We appreciated the kitchen, the extra fridge space, and the television. Be aware that there is no proper "living room" - there is a lovely outdoor space but it can get quite hot and humid outside if you have older folks in the group. We appreciated the host's hospitality, responsiveness and local suggestions.

Lots of natural light, big windows. Gorgeous pool that was cleaned every day Close to El Tunco Supermarket, coffee, food across the street Beachfront Host always around & extremely helpful Yard maintained very well Gated & fenced. Always felt safe.

My family and I loved staying at Rebecca place as the hose was spotless and Henry and Joscyln were so accommodating. we had Joscyln cook a couple of meals and they were fantastic. She is an amazing cook. Henry was very helpful with the grounds and even got us fresh coconut off the tree. It was a very peaceful property and the access to the beach was just a couple steps away. The sea was warm and wasn't too rough for those who are nervous in water. Shower heater was great and was able to get warm showers. Kitchens was well stocked with two fridges available for use! There were many areas to sit and relax inside and out and have to say one of the best airbnbs I've stayed at. Would recommend to all.

Listing as described Clean, peaceful place and very spacious. The people who received us were very nice. Well located 3 min walk to the beach and full of restaurants next door. Hosts offer a card to have meals delivered, we tested and the food was very good (seafood soup fish everything was delicious) Lindo rancho muy tranquilo con mucho espacio y piscina muy limpia. Las fotos son conforme al lugar. Llegada flexible. Está muy bien situado a 3 minutos caminando de la playa. Hay muchos comedores en la playita. Las personas que nos recibieron fueron muy amables y sonrientes. El rancho propone un menú para pedir comida a domicilio, esto es muy práctico pedimos un par de platillos para probar (pescado, mariscada, cóctel de camarón)y todo estuvo delicioso. Sin duda volveremos.
