Amazing. Simply Amazing! Zak, the Vacasa Property Manager was fantastic. Excellent communication. Which is what you need if you're going to stay at casa Don Marcos home in Marbella. You MUST have a 4x4 vehicle. The only way in is driving a short distance across the beach. And Zak led me across the beach to Casa Don Marcos and WOW!!! Stunning. Breathtaking. One of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed.
You are situated on a bluff, right on the ocean. The view is amazing. The sound of the ocean, the crashing waves, the howler monkeys, the birds, the cicadas, and the thunder are what I'm really going to miss. It's a magical place.
There is a staircase to the roof! So you can go up to the top of the house for a spectacular view.
Bed was very comfy, kitchen has everything you need, plenty of towels and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand.
You are a 3 minute walk from your own private beach. I'm not kidding. I saw a couple of locals during my 9 night stay that came to fish. When the tide goes out, all of the black rock is exposed and there are tons of tide pools to explore. No snorkeling here on this little beach. But I found lots of beautiful shells and had the place to myself.
For groceries, you can walk to Marbella, about a 25 minute walk where there is a small store that has a little of everything.
David, the care taker, keeps the leaves out of the beautiful pool and takes great care of the property.
When you're driving to Casa Don Carlos, the last 11 miles is a dirt road. So if you're looking for a resort, to be pampered, to eat at fine restaurants, this is not the place for you. It's tropical, there are bugs, ants, lizards, crab that you'll encounter. If you leave food out, you'll have ants.
If you want to leave the world behind, this is the place for you.
