Fabulous House!!!
A group of 5 of us stayed in this house for 11 days - absolutely loved our time in Huatulco. The house is in a great location - easy to walk to the beach, into the little town for food, or even into La Crucecita - either along the road or up the walkway. It was VERY clean, and all the necessities were provided. The kitchen appliances were all top notch, and lots of cups and glasses!It was wonderful having 4 bedrooms - and if you had all the windows closed, they were very good at keeping unwanted noise out! (there were a couple of local dogs who occasionally barked, and a couple of pool parties near by - but it is a Mexican beach town!) The AC & fans in the bedrooms were fabulous as the overnight temperature outside was in the mid 20's!! Norma was great - answered all our questions quickly and THANK YOU for the water!!! The pool was very well used! The 1st day or 2 it seemed 'cool' -- not sure whether it warmed up or we got used to it but it was a welcome relief during the hot afternoons!! Highly recommend both this house and Huatulco. Spectacular beaches and great weather!

Lovely week in Bahia de Santa Cruz
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the house! We had everything we needed to make our week in Huatulco comfortable and enjoyable. Norma was very good at answering questions and communicating with me before our stay, as well as during our stay if we had questions. The house is on a fairly busy street, but there was not a lot of traffic noise at night, and the neighbours were quiet for the most part, with the exception of one night when the neighbours behind us and over one, had a 'fiesta'. Santa Cruz beach was only a 5-10 minute walk away, which was great, and when we wanted to go into La Crucecita (10 minutes away by taxi for $35 pesos), or to another beach, it was very easy to get a taxi by waving one down right outside the house. Taxi prices were fair and consistent. There are restaurants and stores within walking distance of the house as well. The only issue worth mentioning, which we have shared with Norma, is the address of the house needs to be clearer on VRBO. On the way to the house from the airport, our taxi drivers were confused and had a hard time finding it. Members of my group arrived on 2 different days and it happened both times. The area is divided into sectors, so the sector letter to identify the neighbourhood is a key piece of information needed to locate the house. Overall, Huatulco is a lovely part of Mexico! The weather was fantastic, the pool was nice and cool after a hot day at the beach, and all the people we met were super friendly.

Fantastic Stay!
The property and photos were spot on for the listing. It is a beautiful home in a peaceful and safe area. We were just a short walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. Many taxes also pass up and down the road so it was an easy option as well. Norma was super quick and responsible throughout our trip. In the evenings it was nice to relax by the private pool or lay in the hammock with the kids. We loved Huatulco and will definitely be back!

Casa Santa Cruz
Enjoyed our stay, Norma was great in staying in contact with us and as well as helping with anything we needed. Great location and no problem getting a taxi, as they go by the house frequently. Only complaint, are the neighbours dogs. Not at night but every morning for a couple of hours. Not much you can do about that. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location but Noisy
We loved the house and it’s location. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and appliances (coffee grinder, blender, coffee maker and toaster). There was also laundry soap, dish soap and a good supply of toilet paper (I mention these three things as I have stayed in rentals that did not provide these things).
Norma was a great host who did responded promptly to our inquiries and she allowed us a later checkout (2:00) which accommodated our flight departure times.
Check-in was with a property manager with very little English so that was a bit challenging but I am striving to learn Spanish better.
This was our first time renting outside of a condo complex and we were unprepared for the neighbourhood dogs barking at 4:30/5:30 in the morning (pretty much daily). Our solution to that was to then sleep with the windows closed and run the air conditioner but it took three early sleepless mornings to figure that out.
Overall, a fabulous place...if you sleep with ear plugs or have a sleep machine this place would be no problem.
