The property has full kitchen with all amenities, lounge and dining area with balcony and sea view, 2 full size bedrooms (main with balcony and sea view), 2 full bathrooms (one is en-suite), entrance hall area, and utility room with washer etc.
The main entrance is at ground level (There are 2 or 3 steps up to the front door). Fibre 5G wifi connection (download speed 77 Mbps). The condo complex has 21 other units, 2 pools (one infinity type with ocean view), beautiful gardens and secure entrance with 24 hour security. Car hire is available locally but is not really necessary, cheap taxis abound and the town center and 2 beaches are a short walk away, Manzanillo beach is the closest at approx 7 minutes walk. The town beach and Zicatela beach can also be accessed by a cliff walkway but it has lots of steps & big waves! I have a local agent (English/Spanish/French speaking) who lives on site to help out with any issues, and she can arrange collection from the airport if needed. Designated covered car parking is available on site if needed at no extra cost.
It should be mentioned that the condo does not have A/C. Generally there is a nice sea breeze and one can sleep with the balcony doors open. All rooms also have fans. We generally only visit in summer (when it's hottest) and have no problem, but if you are an A/C junkie then this may not be the property for you.
We are very flexible on check-in and out times UNLESS another guest is arriving or departing on the same day.
Close by in town is a local market to buy fresh fish, veg, fruit, tortillas, spices and all other known Mexican foodstuffs in addition to handcrafts. For the authentic experience you can also buy fresh fish straight off the boats at the beach, or arrange a trip to catch your own. Puerto is renowned for world class fishing (Dorado, Tuna, Swordfish, Sailfish, etc), along with the world class surfing at Zicatela beach.
For safe swimming there are secluded coves for swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing under a palapa with a drink. At night one can eat out along Zicatela or Rinconada, catch the sunsets there, or have your own private sundowners on the balcony before sleeping to the sound of the sea.
Recently (2023) a skydiving facility has also opened in Puerto Escondido.
Please note that the minimum rental period is set here at 6 nights, but between October 1 and March 31 the minimum rental (condo regulations) is 13 nights. Please also note summer rates are always less than winter rates. Please feel free to enquire for rates during summer time as they may be less than quoted here, depending on demand. We are always open to negotiation in quiet periods.
Note that at time of writing (Feb 2024) the construction work next door in the adjacent site that has been mentioned in some older reviews is now completed.
Please also note that the condominium regulations PROHIBIT rentals to families with kids under 14 so you can view that as a bonus or a disadvantage! Great activities for kids over 14 though. Regulations also prohibit rentals to groups of more than 4 persons per unit. While mentioning rules the complex is no smoking except for designated areas on the rooftop palapa area and the lower palapa by the sea.
