La Selva Beach Guest Suite, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time at this VRBO. It was as expected and my wife slept well, which is rare, especially on our first night, as it is quiet and private. There is no way to cook food here (unless you cook in a microwave) but we usually bring our own food and the kitchenette had everything we needed.Bed was comfy and water was plentiful and HOT for the shower.Our dog enjoyed the courtyard and had plenty of things to sniff. There is no yard but the neighborhood is easy to walk in and the neighbors were friendly. Someone was even giving away as many lemons as you could carry.In all, a pleasant experience and if we are back in this area, we would stay here again."
