Avis The small, very fine apartment right on the beach!

This beach spot is a little slice of heaven! Definitely recommend 4wd and some perseverance to reach the spot, but this is an incredible and relatively isolated beach spot. Hans and heike live upstairs of the apartment and were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. It’s a cute and simple little apartment with everything you need for a peaceful beach getaway.

We had a wonderful stay here! Very comfortable and well-equipped rental.

Hans and Hika Bakker are expats and gregarious, multilingual hosts. The bed and bath suite on the first floor of their home was small but very clean and tastefully decorated. The sliding door opened to a nice sitting area with chairs and a hammock. The walk to the beach through a palm grove was less than a hundred yards. The beach itself is incredible, several miles of fine sand, gentle slope, steady surf and good shell collection opportunities. Hika operates Cafe Senna in San Francisco, just up the road which is open for breakfast and lunch six days a week. The El Barco Restaurante & Bar is two miles down the road, also right on the beach, is a great spot for drinks and dinner. While the area is a bit remote, we will likely return for a longer stay, to enjoy the conviviality, the quiet and the susurrus of the surf.

The apartment is more spacious than the pictures give it credit. The location was everything we wanted. We basically had the whole of playa coyote to ourselves! The beach was amazing in every way e.g. animals, sunsets, shells, water, privacy. The apartment was clean, there were many beach toys and games available. The beds were very comfortable. There was ample post beach showering and rinsing off facilities. Heike and Hans were available most of the time if required and gave us lots of privacy. It felt very safe there. The sugar and coffee could have been topped up by the maid. Also, the beach towels could have been changed. A small hob could be considered but there was a toaster, small fridge, coffee perculator and all the cutlery, plates etc you need. check in and out details were a little confusing but you can always contact cafe Santos if confused. There is also a slightly more expensive studio flat next door if you are thinking of staying with friends/family.
