Slice of Paradise
This little gem is a well kept secret behind a wall on an otherwise lackluster dirt road. Right on the beach front, sleeping and waking up to the crash of the waves was heaven for me. This small, but perfect, beach house provided an exclusive retreat in paradise!

esta lindo el lugar
la locacion del lugar es perfecta, una de los mejores que he estado, los que arendan son muy buenas personas y no se meten con los inquilinos. para mi todo estuvo muy bien, solo tengo una pequena opinion, la estufa esta un poco viejita y muy pequena si pusieran algo mas grande y mas nueva estaria exelente. y si pudieran poner grama y limpiar mas los escombros de las ramas de los arboles de coco. tambien el acceso ala playa nesesita un caminito para poder apcesar ala playa, note que en hotel de al lado hay unos sacos de arena, esto podria ser una occion para este lugar, no me estoy quejando pero creo que esto le daria mas valuo al lugar. si volveria a rentar en este lugar por que es muy privado y bonita la vista al mar.

Such a great spot! Very clean and humble
The view you get from this place is absolutely beautiful! You can’t get any more beachfront than this. The property manager was friendly and the house was very clean and well kept. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe with friendly helpful residents. The only thing I can say about the house is that it needs another hammock and a microwave. Only stayed for 2 nights because it was all booked up. Everything went well except that the power went out at 4am so we had to go all morning with no power or running water our last day there which was rough with the heat and the fact we couldn’t even shower. However Sergio brought some water for us to use for the toilets and to wash our hands which we appreciated a lot! I’d definitely return. Hopefully the power won’t go out again lol

Magic and Beautiful!
Amazing ocean front cabin. Perfect for me and my fiancée. Communication with the host was fast and easy going. The caretakers were always available to help us out with what ever we needed. Amenities were clean, and property was very tidy. Waking up essentially on the water, right in front of good waves was a dream come true for us. 10/10 and we can’t wait to come back. We already reserved dates for next year to do it all over again. 🤙🏼🤩

Oceanfront Heaven
Wow, this place is amazing! We had a blast. This place is off the hook—oceanfront, clean and stylish even. The photos need to be updated because the place has new floors and paint job. We were greeted by Kevin and his brother Yonathon who were super nice and attentive to anything we needed. My only complaint is that we were not there longer. We will be back for sure!!

Adventure on a Black Sand Beach
This is an incredible find! It's hard to explain how such a simple "primitive" house can be so welcoming. The property was amazing. We enjoyed waking up, brewing coffee, cutting mangoes and papayas, fixing oatmeal and sitting in the lower patio area as the sun was coming up. Every morning we would walk/run down the black sand beach. On these runs we would have the beach to ourselves, no hotels or corporate touristy junk. In a 3 mile run I counted 11 people on the busiest day there. We enjoyed the 2 nearby restaurants Netos and Punta Roca Surf Resort both within 50 yards of the property gate. If the want more of an American tourist vibe, take a day or 2 and drive to El Tunco "Surf City" 2 miles away. It's a short five

Excelente ubicacion pero descuidado
Desde que hice la reservacion sabia que no debia esperar lujos pero al menos esperaba encontrar limpió, no pudimos usar la estufa porque tenia demasiada grasa y los azulejos igualmente, el lugar tiene un terreno muy lindo pero está demasiado descuidado porque parece lugar abandonado, los mosquiteros tienen demasiado polvo y por esa razon no quise usarlos, considero que los dueños sacarian mejor provecho si invirtieran en su terreno y aumentaran el precio de la estacia. La ubicacion nos quedo perfecta porque pudimos viajar al tunco en los 2 dias que nos quedamos en la zona.

Unique place to stay
We were surprised that there was no beach a lot of the day. The tides come all the way up to the rocks. We enjoyed the view and walking at low tide. The surf hotel three houses down had nice food, as did the other hotel on the street. We mostly enjoyed the lady next door who cooked pupusas on Saturdays and Sundays. A chair for the little desk would be nice for those of us who still have to do some work. We only had issues one night when the house north of us had a bunch of loud people who were using this property to access the beach and were screaming until midnight. The rest of the week, it was incredibly peaceful.

This place is amazing its simple nothing fancy but functional but who needs fancy when you have the beauty of the beach at footsteps away. The caretaker was friendly and helpful. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. It's a great place to get away and disconnect from the world It did have great wifi for those that have a hard time disconnecting completely. Only down side for me is it has only 2 beds so there wouldn't be enough room if I want to take my kids next time as they would love all the yard/grass this place has to run around.

beautiful location
had a great time at cocal beach, great location. its a safe area with nice people in the neighborhood. was less than happy that the gate was broken for the first 2 weeks of my stay, especially with no care taker living on the property. in an area where everything is locked and all the businesses have armed security I felt a little under protected being I was alone in a dark area at night but all went well again. thanks pepper and monte Dave Fast Surrey b.c.

a little spartan
I really enjoyed my time there . the hosts were great, loved the dog so much that I wanted to take her home. 2 small things, a blender and a hammock would be nice. I bigger thing a small safe cemented in would make things a lot more secure for storing valuables. its not a very secure location especially when no one is there a lot of the time . the wifi was awesome only was off twice . thebed was comfortable and great water pressure. the kitchen did the job. over all a great month thanks oh 1 more item, railings on the stairs would ba a good safety feature. thanks dave fast

A unique experience
When booking to go to El Salvador the criteria was to have a property on the beach front and this was exactly what we got. The property sits on a decent sized plot with a live on site caretaker, Linda, and her partner. They were not in the slightest intrusive but were always at hand to help, change the water bottles and provide information on places to visit. This is not luxurious accommodation, everything is basic but functional. However quite literally being a stones throw from the Pacific Ocean more than made up for the lack of luxurious fixtures. The windows are all made from bamboo and all prop open. The views are amazing and this also provides great air flow. The ocean breeze stops around 6pm each evening until around 11pm. The wind then changes direction and blows in from the mountains providing much needed cool air. From 11pm onwards you can snuggle under the covers and get a great nights sleep on what were surprisingly comfortable mattresses. There is no hot running water here, only cold. I thought this would be a problem but it was not. The heat is so intense that the cold showers are a blessing. Linda did however provide us with a fan, which was vital for us every evening for the few hours that there wasn't a breeze. I would recommend that ceiling fans be fitted to alleviate this issue. We kept the windows propped open 24/7 and at no time did we feel unsafe. In fact, wherever we went the locals couldn't have been more welcoming or friendly. We were surprised to find Sears in San Salvador along with shopping malls and recognised food chains such as Pizza Hut. The property is a 2 minute stroll from Hotel Punta Roca. It's owned by an American called Roberto who is a lovely guy and we enjoyed talking to him. We ate here most nights and tried the cocktails, food and drinks are tasty and reasonably priced and the kids were allowed to use the swimming pools. There are numerous point breaks in close proximity along this part of the coast line and therefore the surf is amazing, how this area is not full to bursting with surfers is beyond me! If surfing or body boarding are not your thing and you just want to swim then please be aware that you need to stay on the beach side of the breaking waves as there are strong Rips behind the surf. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. The kids loved being in the ocean first thing every morning and because of the design of the property we spent most of our time outside protected from the scorching sun.
