What an amazing vacation our family had at Casa Blanca. My husband and I travelled with our five kids aged 7-21yrs old and every single one of us had an incredible time. Casa Blanca is a dream house. Best views in Lo De Marcos hands down - we saw dolphins and whales breaching out in the ocean from poolside! The house was very clean and inviting and had everything we needed. David and Polly were gracious hosts - answering all our questions, providing extra water whenever we needed, they had a folder of menus from local restaurants and they generously provided us with a ride up to La Penita to visit the local market. The house was stocked with games & books and the most awesome pool table that was VERY well used while we were there. There is also a small programmable safe to store your valuables. We brought a few of our own DVD's for the kids in the evening and the tv set up was easy to use. The pool was large enough for all of us to be in at the same time and the hot tub was delightful to soak in at the end of the day. We took great advantage of the poolside lounges - soaking up the sun, reading and drinking cervezas! The house has a delightful breeze that takes the sting out of the midday heat. You'd forget how warm it is until you headed down to the beach. The beach is a 5minute walk away - super clean and safe. There is an awesome tidal pool area at one end of the beach for the kids to poke around in and the walk to the north end of the beach is beautiful. We found a place that rented boogie, surf and paddle boards and were able to negotiate a weekly rate for while we were there. Lots of great restaurants on the beach -mellow with delicious food. There were a few vendors on the beach but very friendly and not pushy at all. We stopped at MEGA on the way to Lo De Marcos to pick up a large portion of our groceries but the town had lots of little shops to stock up on essentials while we were there. There was also a delightful market on Saturday. The walk into town only took 10 minutes and was an easy stroll. We have travelled to Mexico with all our kids before but always in a resort setting - Never again! All of our kids said they preferred staying in a small local town and experiencing "real" Mexico and all of it's beauty.

I almost didn't want to give a review as I want to keep this little piece of paradise hidden but Polly and David deserve due credit for providing such an easy way to experience paradise! We hope to return again and again
