Maria’s place was quite spacious and located a short walk through natural spaces (with clear trails) to Lovely Combate Beach (3 minutes from your door to the sand?).
Maria’s house looked like the pictures and was clean. The kitch had a fridge, stove, cooking supplies, and a coffee pot. Washer and dryer as advertised. You may need your own detergent (we didn’t find any). The patio was lovely and comfy though the mosquitos come out in the morning and evening. (Not crazy, but they’re there.) Maria had 5 beach chairs, cooler wagon, several sand buckets and two shovels available for use. Also, plenty of beach and bath towels. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.
You’re right next door to the El Combate Beach Resort where there’s great breakfast and friendly service at the “cyber cafe”. Several restaurants are available downtown, about a 5 minute leisurely walk away. Heads-up, many places are closed Monday and Tuesday. Some closed Wednesday too. Combate Beach is great for swimming, sitting and walking. Twenty minutes away, the beaches in Boquerón are *stunning*. Great for swimming, snorkeling (see a good bit of fish and other creatures right off the beach), sitting and walking. The state park beach in Boquerón is closed Monday and Tuesdays but you can park outside and walk in.
We had a lovely time in El Combate and Maria’s was a great spot for us to experience the area.
