Amazing Fall Trip!
The property was absolutely perfect. The private pool was gorgeous and the views were phenomenal. All of the bed rooms have their own air conditioning, dehumidifier, ceiling fan, and standing fans which was amazing given the warm and muggy climate. The house was a quick walk down the hill or a very short uber drive to the shopping area. The property management team was amazing at making sure our stay was perfect and I would definitely come back to stay again.

Some Issues
Unfortunately, the property management company working for the failed us from the very beginning upon arrival. After a long day of travel from Tampa, with delays, we walked into the property hot, sweaty and needing a cold drink. Previous to our vacation, I supplied David Alonzo at Admin Homes, a list of grocery items to have delivered to the property ahead of our arrival. We walked into a very hot home, with fans blowing. I had to ask the person that met us at the house if it was air-conditioned. He said yes and started running around turning the A/C on. A friend checked the refrigerator to see if the food/alcohol was available and was surprised nothing was stocked. It would have been nice to walk into a cool home and be able to have had a cocktail while enjoying the pool after a long day of travel.
The next issue we had was sewage backing up in the master bathroom into the shower. The next issue was the light in the pool was not working. We notified David and he had someone come out and got it fixed. Unfortunately, after it was fixed, we could feel electrical charge around the light in the water.

Better than the pictures
Truly a delight. We spent equal time at the property and about town. This was a perfect place to relax, enjoy meals (would recommend the private chefs!), and take a swim in the rooftop pool. There was construction next door during our stay (we were alerted to that in advance), but it wasn’t too terrible. As others mentioned, this property does either require taking a car or walking up steer hills/steps, which we didn’t mind. Would happily stay again.

Lovely Home, Great Location, Great Stay, minor unresolved maintenance issue on site..
Booking and Check-in process were great. Property Manager checked in by text with us nearly every day to see if we needed anything. He showed up one day to bring another 5 gallon jug of filtered water and a bag of ice. Very Conscientious..!! One guest bath connected to 2nd bedroom had lack-of-hot water issue in shower. Temp. was tepid, issue never resolved. That guest, my adult sister, used my bathroom for showers. PM had maintenance folks come out but they were not able to correct this issue. The third bathroom in the listing is upstairs on the pool deck, not next to third bedroom. This is not clear in the listing. Had I read all of earlier reviews, that would have been clear. Inconvenient for 3rd bedroom occupants when they need to use a bathroom (in the middle of the night) or shower. Maria, the main chef for this property, is Fantastico. Plenty of food for the planned meals plus LOTS of leftovers. This extra option is well worth the modest expense. Housekeeping and pool staff were very friendly, thorough and accomodating. The building right next door to the west is going thru a major renovation. It is a 5-6 story apt bldg that has been gutted. Lots of construction noise 6 days a week; power tools, concrete work, workers stereos playing. A bit disruptive from 830am to 530pm. Overall, lovely home with beautiful gardens and artwork.

Calamity
We only had hot water on two days out of ten.
The handle in the shower came off-water pouring out-property manager didn’t get there for over an hour. Two bedrooms and living room flooded. Manager said we should clean it up-we refused and they didn’t get there for a long time to clean it.
I asked the owner for a partial refund and he ghosted me.

Casa Hortencia was Really Great!!
We were very pleased with our stay at Casa Hortencia. We were well taken care of by Moises, Miguel, Maria (our cook) and her daughters... Jeffrey's house was really muy bueno! My husband and I brought our son, daughter and her family. Everyone had space to be on their own and the rooftop pool with sitting areas was just great and even has a view of the ocean! Maria (out cook) was truly outstanding! Moises helped us to hire Maria and her daughter to cook many, many meals for us throughout our stay and it was well worth it! I would highly recommend it and the food was FANTASTIC! After the first 2 days of arranged menus, we asked Maria to just surprise us with the rest of the meals and WOW!! We were not disappointed. Maria really made our trip memorable with her outstanding ability to cook good Mexican food, and also with her super personality (and Elizabeth was very sweet and friendly, too).
Go! Stay! Eat! Swim! Enjoy the mellow neighborhood with an ocean view from the rooftop pool / sitting areas! We'll be back!

The listing was accurate. The property is absolutely beautiful! The pool was sunny and warm
We loved this property and would most definitely rent here again. Despite some of the reviews the rooftop pool was sunny in the morning through late afternoon. It was an easy downhill walk to the heart of Zona romantically and an easy Uber back. The housekeeper was a joy to be around and very helpful in helping me locate some household supplies. I rate this a 5 out of 5!

Loved this place!
This is an amazing place. The house is beautiful and the best part is the rooftop with an amazing pool and views of the ocean. I would definitely stay here again!
Only thing to note is that it's on a hill so walking to downtown/the beach is a bit of an intense hike, but you can call a taxi to avoid that (they charge almost nothing so it's worth it).

A little disappointing
It’s evident this home has been loved and cared for over a long period of time. The lush gardens are beautiful. The outdoor patio areas are lovely. The kitchen is adequate and well stocked. However. It receives no sun and is dark and musty smelling no matter how many windows are open. The secondary bedrooms are quite small and the 3rd bedroom doesn’t have a bath Because of that we would not return to this property. Light and sun are a must for us.

Wonderful!
What a beautiful casa! It is decorated with lots of arts and plants, with trees surrounding it. The casa is very spacious and could accomodate a number of people easily. There's everything you need here. If you like to lie in the sun, you may have to go to the beach, at least at this time of the year, as no sun hits this casa. But the plus side is that it is always cool with a breeze. We didn't need to use the airconditioners. It's an easy, 10 min. walk to the beach, either down the cobblestone street, or quicker down a path by the river...you need to be able and sure-footed as it is a bit treacherous. We walked down every day and ubered back, easy. The roof top pool was heated which was a big draw for us...most unheated pools are too cold. This one is perfect and the palapa and roof top is gorgeous. A quiet neighbourhood, though there seemed to be not many people around. Overall, and excellent place to stay!
