10/10 Excellent
"The Mar Monte Hotel was a lovely place to stay for a girls getaway... it was right across the street from the beach; the restaurants on site were fantastic, we loved the free bikes and beach chairs, and the pool was great. We had a noisy air conditioner the first night and got moved to a new room with a balcony which was lovely. Great stay!"

"We had such a good time. The cottage was super cute and we loved the art in every room. Beds were super comfy, too. Location was great, minutes from an amazing beach (especially walking at low tide) and minutes from coffee shops and restaurants. We would definitely go back."

Coral By The Coast | Spacious & Just Minutes to Butterfly Beach

Coral By The Coast | Spacious & Just Minutes to Butterfly Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The home was just as described, very clean, nicely equipped and excellent location. Walking distance to town and the beach. Quite, except for the occasional train, but does not disturb sleep at all. Check in was seamless. Check out a little complicated, could not get the lockbox open to get the key to lock the door. Called the phone number provided and on hold for awhile, but eventually got a solution to the problem. The back casita was nice, sun does shine thru the slider in the afternoon and was quite warm and stuffy at 4pm, luckily the next few days were not as warm as the first. Would come back and highly recommend Coral by the Coast."
