Impossible Dream House

A beautiful and spacious three bedroom villa (Villas La Escondida) with private plunge pool right on the ocean in Puerto Escondido. Amazing 180 degree view of the Pacific and Zicatela Beach. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to El Centro, Rinconada and Manzanillo beach. Indoor kitchen, large open living area, air-conditioning, two bathrooms and private pool- as well as access to 2 rooftop community pools. Reliable high speed fiber optic internet and secure building with 24/7 staffing. The space The villa is in a condo complex that is filled with other renters and villa owners. THIS IS NOT A GOOD LOCATION TO HOST PARTIES OR PARTY INTO THE NIGHT. The community has collectively agreed upon quiet hours and the owners of other villas will notify us if you violate quiet hours OR are excessively loud during the day. Loudness varies by culture of origin but we find that being drunk tends to create the most complaints. If you are here solely to party we recommend a different location than La Escondida. The villas are mostly concrete and because of the design you will occasionally hear noise from the neighboring units or when the staff are out and about working. Quiet hours for the complex are from 10pm to 9am, but occasionally there is a rental group that doesn't respect the hours, although the villa staff tries to keep on top of it. Please contact us if other guests are disrupting your stay by not respecting the quiet hours and we will get in touch with the owner or rental manager. However, do expect the noise of others during the day, it might be hard for children to sleep or take a daytime snooze. On the patio, in the evenings, you can sometimes hear the music from the bars in Zicatela on the other side of the bay. The villa itself is an open air concept, so the kitchen, dining, and living room are all rolled into one open space with large windows/doors that open up into the terrace. Because of the open air design, there are occasionally bugs and geckos. We try to mitigate this by keeping doors and windows closed, keeping the kitchen clean, and cleaning up well when food is involved. However the geckos eat the bugs so we usually get excited to have them in the villa. All rooms have their own AC unit, and a ceiling fan with a bluetooth speaker in it. Guests have access to our ocean front terrace and pools at the top of the complex. Please be considerate of other guests using these areas. Guest access Guests have access to the whole villa. Guests also have access to our private pool and patio with lounge chairs, hammock, and waterfront view of the Pacific Ocean, as well as access to the community rooftop pools and hammock areas. Other things to note This listing is not suitable for children under 10 and we have no accommodation or safety measures for children under 2. Please consider this when booking the villa. No pets. We house 8 guests maximum, including children. Any guests beyond the number listed on your itinerary will be charged a penalty of 1000 pesos per person per night. We reserve the right to terminate your stay without refund if you exceed the maximum occupancy of your reservation. The pool is not heated but it is not necessary. Trust us when we say a heated pool is not something anyone wants in this weather :) Temperatures rarely go below 80 degrees in Puerto so the pool stays warm. Early/late check in as well as late check out cannot always be accommodated but you can leave your luggage at the front gate if you arrive early or need to store it after checking out. We do not have a washer available for guest to use, but there are lavandería services near by, where they will wash, dry, iron, and fold your clothes for a low cost. There are no designated parking spaces for cars, however there is ample street parking. Motos can park inside the building. We would like to remind guests that they are coming to a more rural, tropical part of Mexico. While we do our best to mitigate any issues that may arise there are sometimes things that are unavoidable. Because of the open air concept of the villa, there are bugs. You might see the occasional small spider, fly, mosquito, or ant, as well as geckos. We try to minimize this by keeping doors closed and cleaning up well when there is food involved. We expect guests to clean up after themselves as they stay in the villa to minimize bugs. There are also on occasion, short power outages, and wifi and cell service can go down for a period of time. Our high speed fiber optic internet is usually buffered from the normal outages that happen in town, but we can be impacted, especially if there is a city-wide power outage or during the height of tourist season when there is just too many people for the infrastructure to maintain. If you are working from home it is good to have a back up plan with a coworking space.
