Amy, your rental was outstanding. We traveled with four adults and
two 2.5 yr-olds and everyone was very comfortable. Specific items we
appreciated were:
- house location that was close to everything (we were able to get gringo
food and local food at the WalMart in PV) but still very private and quiet
(we were not looking to share our vacation with 1000 strangers);
- a really good bed in the master suite (others may also have been good but
I only slept on one bed);
- a complete kitchen with small touches like an ice shaver (good for snow
cones for the kids and maragaritas for the adults);
- a car in great condition that held us all (including child car seats),
including clothes for 8 days;
- a BBQ that made eating a breeze;
- a COMPLETE book of things to do, places to eat/shop, contact numbers just
in case of emergency,
- resource down there (property manager) to help with the little things (we
finished the propane so he got it filled up);
- a housekeeper that did a great job!
Our standards are very high and the house was perfect. We can't think of
anything we'd change. Thanks again...

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and your family. Amy, we had an
absolutely fabulous time in your home. You and your husband have created a
dream home to be appreciated by many. Like I had said before, the design
and attention to detail made it. I have to say that the pictures online
did not do it justice. It's a must see to believe.

A little bit of Paradise. A wonderful place for a
family, a few couples, or just some friends. It felt like home --
very clean with every amenity you could ask for. Close to the beach,
restuarants, flea market,and town. And the help, from the cook to the
maid and the property managers is second to none. Highly recommend
Casa Parota--we would definitely go back.

Thank you, thank you, for the most wonderful vacation I
have had. We all spent more time relaxing by the pool and
enjoying time spent with friends then we did sightseeing. The house
made us feel like we were at home. The cook fed us like kings and
queens. Can't say enough good things about Casa Parota, the cook,
and the property management assistance. We'll be back...

We couldn't have asked for a more special holiday! The
men played golf at different courses all week. The ladies laid
around the pool - soaking up the sun and the margaritas - what could be
better. The cook fixed delicious meals - we especially liked her ceviche
and shrimp/beef/chicken fajitas. What a treat! Thanks for memories to last a
lifetime!

The Purcells, Mercer Island, WA (Seattle):
We had a very
delightful stay. Certainly one of our best family Christmases.
The house was very comfortable and everything we needed. The
Los Veneros Beach Club (now called Villa Vera) is great and reasonable - we went there
everyday.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Casa Parota and we could
not have picked a better place. The house is wonderful and is
fully furnished with everything you need; the pool and the new
patio were breath-taking. The property manager is a
wonderful resource to have. We would recommend staying at Casa
Parota to anyone.
