Question 1

PURE HEAVEN!

Our stay at Casa Terra was pure heaven. You have such an amazing Villa. Our vacation was one of the best I have had. We enjoyed relaxing and reading around the pool, walking to both Bucerias and La Cruz, and most of all the food and drinks!! Everything about our stay was just fabulous and I can’t say enough about how truly wonderful everything is.

Thank you, Marilyn for all your communication and assistance. It has been extremely valuable as sometimes planning a vacation can be a little stressful. You have made the process nothing but pleasant.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say and would have no hesitation in recommending Casa Terra to family and friends! Thanks again,

Question 2

3 WONDERFUL WEEKS!

Fabulous!! We had a marvelous vacation. The weather was wonderful and of course, the kids loved the pool! The beaches are beautiful and the local people are so friendly!

As our three wonderful weeks Casa Terra come to a close we want to extend a special thanks to Marilyn who was extremely helpful and provided so much valuable information before we arrived.

We had a great time catching three albacore tuna and being on top of four whales! Our grandsons loved parasailing, swimming with the dolphins and even the three year old learned to swim in the pool. Be sure to eat at the Mango Grill in La Cruz and ZA’s Pizza in Bucerias.

We can hardly wait to return next year. Love this Casa and Mexico!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful villa with us.

Question 3

LOVED OUR 2 WEEKS AT CASA TERRA!

We spent two glorious weeks at Casa Terra and we loved every minute!

Casa Terra is perfect and sleeping at the ocean’s doorstep has been amazing. We love the outdoor shower by the pool.

There are so many great spots in the area–San Pacho, Destiladeras Beach, Punta de Mita and Bucerias and so many very good restaurants in La Cruz. One of our favourites was La Glorieta de Enrique aka “Enrique’s” where the prices are very reasonable and the portions large. The delicious shrimp salads and the very nice seafood platters are large enough to be shared. The restaurant staff are so friendly and helpful and because we walked over to the Marina, the staff were happy to get a taxi for us as it was getting a bit too warm for us to walk back to the casa.

The kids have combed the beaches, eaten popsicles galore and run with abandon. They are now die hard body surfers and boogie boarders and we can’t believe we will be back snowboarding in 48 hours!

We think Casa Terra has the best view in the oceanfront row of homes (at La Puntilla) and we are plotting to be back again–sooner, rather than later. Thanks to the assistance of the excellent support staff (security, water, garbage, pool cleaning, etc), we will truly miss so many friendly faces. The house was wonderful and we had a great time.

Adios Amegos!

Question 4

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE!

Hello Marilyn:

“Just another day in paradise”…words we have said many times this past two weeks! The house, the pool, the view, the staff and the weather all were perfect! Casa Terra is beautiful, comfortable and everything the website advertised.

We have nothing but HIGH praise for the entire experience, starting with you. From the first time we talked on the phone and from the first e-mails, you made me feel very comfortable renting your property. All the information you provided to us prior to our arrival was wonderful. Then when we saw the house–well, what can I say but “WOW”!

We loved having our own private swimming pool – what luxury! We spent hours floating around the pool and read many books on the very comfortable outdoor seating. It was great because my husband loved being in the sun, but the three of us preferred sitting in the shade, and that was easily accomplished with all the outdoor seating.

We loved the quiet of the morning sitting at the umbrella table at the end of the pool watching the sun come up over the mountains, drinking our coffee and making plans for the day.

We rented a car during our stay and Denis and Adam at Gecko car rental were very helpful. We highly recommend Gecko to anyone interested in renting a car while visiting the area.

We explored the area and took trips to Punta de Mita, Sayulita, La Penita and Rincon de Guayabitus where friends were staying.

We cannot believe how many very good restaurants there are in La Cruz and also in Bucerias.

The fresh fish and shrimp from the fish markets at the Marina were so reasonable and the shrimp come in all sizes – from small and medium to large and extra, extra large. All were delicious and we ate so much shrimp we all agreed that we were “shrimped out” by the time we left for home.

However, now that we are home, we are longing for some of that very fresh seafood!

Everything about the vacation was “5 Stars” and we will recommend you and Casa Terra to all our friends, co-workers and neighbours.

Marilyn, thank you for your efficiency and help setting everything up for us and the tips you gave us to make this our perfect vacation. We plan to come back, so you will be hearing from us again.

Question 5

OUR 9TH VISIT WAS JUST AS GOOD AS OUR FIRST ONE!

Once again we love Casa Terra. We will miss our massages with Maria and the always cheerful housekeeper, Gloria.

Hope to return next year for our 10th visit!!

Thank you, Marilyn

Question 6

BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE HOUSE

Casa Terra is a great house for 4 to 6 people — the pictures are exactly what you’ll see when you arrive. The house has everything you need and it’s an easy 10 minute walk along the beach to the town of La Cruz and the fish market. It was so nice to have a gas grill and grill up the freshest fish and seafood from the fish market. The pool warmed up nicely in the afternoon and it was a great house to relax and re-charge the batteries.

Marilyn was superb to work with and ensures you have everything you need to enjoy your vacation. I definitely recommend this house and the area. We stayed in late April, early May (which is slow season) and it was so quiet and relaxing – if that’s what you’re looking for, definitely stay in the slow season. We enjoyed downtown La Cruz and really enjoyed the marina restaurants

Question 7

SPECTACULAR – EVEN BETTER THAN THE PICTURES

When we walked in, my son said “this is the first time that a place is even better than the pictures”

He was right! We could have stayed right there without ever exploring other cities. While the boys were off on a canopy tour, my daughter and I had wonderful massages by Maria. That evening we had a fantastic meal prepared by a wonderful local couple.

Casa Terra is in a safe gated community complete with a guard on the beach. We never felt unsafe in this area and the town of La Cruz is charming with some great restaurants. I hope we get to go back next year. Thanks, Marilyn, for all the thoughtful suggestions and recommendations.

Question 8

BEST EVER — FANTASTIC, RELAXING VACATION!

Good morning, Marilyn:

I can’t believe its been 3 days since we left Paradise and Casa Terra. What a fantastic vacation. Relaxation, recuperation and regeneration.

We did a whole lot of nothing which is what both of us needed. You were right. The massages from Maria were the best Margaret has ever had. We had a most glorious time and are now trying to figure out when we can get back.

Thanks again for all the assistance, Marilyn. You made the experience so easy. Gecko was fantastic. We ate most of our meals at Frascati in La Cruz Everyone was so friendly and helpful and we were quickly on a first name basis with the staff.

I could ramble on forever. The bottom line is that this was the best vacation both of us could have had and we are looking forward to returning.

Why change when you find something that good?

Question 9

WONDERFUL TIME, AS ALWAYS

Once again, it was so difficult to leave beautiful Casa Terra and as always, we had a wonderful relaxing time at the house. All in all, everything was perfect at Casa Terra. We always enjoy seeing and talking with Gloria and of course Maria’s visits to the house for massages are always a special occasion.

Matt actually got up on the stage and sang and played guitar at Anna Banana’s where the owner was blown away by Matt’s talent. He also did a couple of songs at a pub in Bucerias one evening because several people in the audience had seen him perform at Anna Banana’s earlier in the week.

Hopefully, some day we will actually have the opportunity to meet you in person, but in the meantime, we certainly will keep your e-mail address on file as you are the only person we are interested in dealing with.

We will look forward to our 5th stay at Casa Terra and will contact you later in the summer regarding dates for next year.

Question 10

OUR BEST VACATION EVER!

We are four long time friends who get together every year to catch up with our lives, enjoy a vacation and generally relax — and relax we did at Casa Terra.

Everything was just great. The pool and casa were very clean, everything was lovely–even better than the photos. Gloria was wonderful and Maria was THE BEST for massages!

Several times we walked along the beach into La Cruz for meals and visited the fresh fish markets. For just a few pesos we took a taxi back to the house, hit the pool and generally relaxed, only to do it all again the next day.

Marilyn was great to work with and the information we received before our arrival was most valuable.
