My husband and 4 daughters (16-27) stayed at this house for 15 days. We had a wonderful time except for a break-in in the middle of the night by a strange man who actually entered the house and opened the door to my daughters' room. They screamed and the man fled. I contacted the manager, Javier and asked him to review the video from the backyard cameras. Javier and the owner Ivan, rather than express dismay and ask if the girls were alright, proceeded to blame us for this terrifying experience! It was our fault for "partying" with the "locals". The "locals" were the 2 young men they referred us to for surfing lessons. As proof, they sent pics of us sitting on the back deck with them. It was supremely disconcerting to be sent pictures of my family eating and drinking on the outside deck as proof that we were somehow responsible for the break in. Additionally, the locks on the doors were simple slide locks that were rusted and old and barely functional. The locks on the inside doors did not work - we tried to use them when we first arrived and none of the keys or locks worked. We had been told that it was safe and we didn't need to worry about security. The back door was unlocked that night but sealed tight and all the other doors were closed and locked. The man entered the gated backyard, checked the doors to find an unlocked one, entered and then checked the bedrooms!! We reported the incident to the police despite Javier's strange insistence that we shouldn't get the police involved. There is obviously so much more to this story, but bottom line is, we experienced a rather traumatic break in and the owner and property manager blamed us for the incident!! Bottom line, this house rental seems to have rules such as you can't "party" on the patio of the beach house (i.e. drink beer with your family) or fraternize with the "locals" (the 2 surf instructors who they referred and who my daughters made friends with). Also, if there is a crime, they prefer that you don't report it to the local police. We are a family, not a bachelor party or college kids on spring break. Our family vacation could hardly be considered wild partying. I am sure Ivan and Javier will reply to this review with denials and lies, but of course, they have a strong incentive to do so. Finally, if you do rent this house, I would exercise caution on the beach. There was a strong rip tide and two people drowned while we were there - one right there on the beach.
