Family-friendly vacation rentals in Playa El Tunco

We had an amazing experience at Joe's place in Xanadu. Although we came across a couple of glitches, Joe quickly responded to my messages and had assistance readily available. He's also a very caring host. One suggestion I would make is probably access to better internet or WiFi. During my stay, we had a couple of minor health issues going on and it took some effort to get a good signal to communicate with Joe, Uber drivers and other family members to ask for assistance. I found a few spots around the house with relatively good reception, however, in instances when it's hard to move around or want to stay away from the heat, a better signal would have taken that additional stress off. Other than that, Joe's place is wonderful and he is an amazing host. Highly recommend him and his place. Thank you for being such an amazing host.

Oscar was a great host. He was very attentive and catering to our requests. He was always very responsive and helpful when responding to us. Would definitely recommend the house for larger parties as the house is big. There is a lot of nature and the house has beautiful views. Just remember that with nature comes a lot of bugs so be mindful of that.

This place was great. Awesome hospitality. The space was more than enough room for 3 people with all the amenities that we needed and then some, the area was very secure. The beach is a short distance away and was beautiful. Cannot say enough how great the place was. Thank you very much for the pleasant stay.

The photos of the view are exactly what they promise, I have no doubt that we will be back!

Thank you Diana for the great experience I had with my family. We all enjoyed your beautiful place. So charming and well decorated. Top of the line. I highly recommend it. I’ve been in multiple countries & places and this is one of my favourite places. Thanks again. Don Saúl was also an excellent host. Attentive to assist whenever needed. We felt quite welcome and at home. Thank you.

We had a good time with the family, with the expected amenities and a very private and family atmosphere. Excellent climate and views. We recommend it and we will definitely be back.

Amazing location and place to stay, the views are immaculate and the hammocks made it all the more relaxing!! The place was quite clean despite the years long wear and tear on the facilities. Check in worked, but would have been a bit difficult if you do not speak Spanish as there was a security gate with a guard asking where you are trying to go. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here! The people maintaining the place were very friendly and kind :)

everything would’ve been perfect except for the one thing the made me leave early: no wifi signal in the main room where i slept and where I needed it to work and watch my steaming apps. i tried to set up myself the wifi extender but it did not work at all. tried several times. as someone who needs a relatively fast but absolutely stable internet connection to work, this was a deal breaker. I ended up leaving a day earlier, paying for an extra day for nothing. they told me i could work near the entrance to the apartment where the wifi was available but how practical is this?

Amazing Stay in a Perfect Location! We absolutely loved our stay at this villa! The house itself was beautiful, the beach was stunning, and the location was just perfect—close enough to all necessary services but far enough from the tourist crowds to enjoy peace and quiet. The security was excellent, and we felt completely safe throughout our stay. A special mention to Francisco, the house guardian, who was truly a gem! He went above and beyond to help us with both small and big issues, always with kindness and efficiency. His presence made our stay even more enjoyable and stress-free. I highly recommend this place and would love to return in the future!

My family and I love this cabin! It's the perfect place to get out of the city while still being close! The cabin is just perfect! My two dogs were happy, and we were calm because it is totally enclosed! I'm sure we'll be back soon! Thank you for everything Laura

The view was majestic as described by everyone. Access to the beaches was easy, you just had to wait for the tide to go down and you could then walk to the beach. You have to be mindful of the timing and make sure to bring water shoes to walk on the rocks, etc. As mentioned by previous reviews the place could use a little TLC. Also we were disappointed that there were no hammocks it was something some of our guests were looking forward to. Also the drinking water ran out and the staff said the water wouldn't be delivered until the following day. However all of those things are minor & the beautiful view made up for it. Also be mindful that although they have staff that will do all the cooking YOU need to provide the groceries! I brought my own cook because I like things a certain way so we mostly utilized the cooking staff for breakfast & food prep. Pro Tip: Find a mercado on the way there to do the grocery shopping avoid "El Super" as it is overpriced and fruits and veggies not fresh.

Location was great to get to beaches, surrounding restaurants are good, kitchen at the house was stocked with all kitchen supply we needed, door men were pleasant and made sure the area was safe, Lindsey was easy to get a hold of, and overall my family and I had a great time. A good place to disconnect and relax for sure. Make sure to bring books, playing cards, or other things for the down time at the house. There was some DVD movies, but we didn’t watch any of the TV’s. Great time laying in the hammock by the pool and reading was super relaxing to me.

Great apartment with modern amenities and finishes. Easy walk to restaurants at the WTC. I would definitely stay again.

The best place, great location and excellent communication

Amazing stay ! Jose is a great host , we recommend this place.

The welcome by Ivvone was very nice, she made recommendations, I would definitely visit again

We absolutely LOVE Rancho Cajun! Everything about it is perfect. It’s beautifully decorated and homey. It’s always spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well stocked and equipped with pots and pans and dinnerware for a crew. Dianne is a fabulous host who accommodates every request she possibly can. The beds are all very comfortable and the AC’s and room darkening blinds make every room a cave for a wonderful nights sleep. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE MORE HIGHLY!!! I am a non Spanish speaking American and have never felt unsafe or unable to get around in the area ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We had a very pleasant stay at Sussy's ranch, she was very attentive and quickly responded to the questions and queries we had, thank you!

We have traveled all over the world and we believe we know when we have found a great spot to return with family and friends and this is one of them.! We had a very relaxing family time starting with the stunning beach view directly in front of us to the relaxing private community surroundings the nice home and pleasant rooms and space in general. The place is a must to stay at when you visit La libertad, El Tunco and all the surfing events too which we had a chance to experience while there 😊 We thank the host and staff for such a nice experience.

The Casita at Villa Del Olas is one of the finest Airbnb experiences we have experienced. The stay was 5 diamond, and exceeded our hopes and expectations. Their place should be a case study for a truly delightful Airbnb experience!

The space was plenty large for our group. We had a few relatives stay with us the first night but were a group of 8 for a majority of the time so we had ample space. The onsite staff was incredibly helpful and we enjoyed the privacy of the space to spend time as a family. The location is not super walkable and as others have mentioned is on a busy street, but it felt very safe. The photos near the pool are very explicit that they were taken in 2020, so take that into account when considering the condition of the poolside furniture. Overall, the space is somewhat dated and could use a minor facelift but is as described in the listing. We appreciated the kitchen, the extra fridge space, and the television. Be aware that there is no proper "living room" - there is a lovely outdoor space but it can get quite hot and humid outside if you have older folks in the group. We appreciated the host's hospitality, responsiveness and local suggestions.

Lots of natural light, big windows. Gorgeous pool that was cleaned every day Close to El Tunco Supermarket, coffee, food across the street Beachfront Host always around & extremely helpful Yard maintained very well Gated & fenced. Always felt safe.

Very friendly, thanks for the attention
