Friendly hosts.
Great comfortable and spacious room and courtyard.
No breakfast available onsite, but great restaurants and coffee shops within 5-10 min walk.
Secure parking available on-site
Awesome location; beach accessible with less than 5 min walk.
Karelia is a lovely host, she let me use the room for extra hours for a small charge. There is a nice garden patio to sit in. This is a great budget option in an expensive area. There is no breakfast and it is a 5-10 min walk to the nearest shops.
The accomdation is in a single family unit home but a separate and private apartment with air condition, fan, safe, refrigerator and beach towels are available from the host

She is a great host. House is so clean. She helped us with everything. Just to make your life easy in Varadero exchange money in Havana not in Varadero and book bus tickets.
Lovely host and Casa. For Cuban standards, comfortable and quiet. 3 short blocks from beautiful beach. Restaurants nearby.

Lovely and Comfortable Stay
Lovely stay with Karelia and Victor. They know very little English, but we're warm and helpful and we did fine with our limited Español. There are no breakfasts offered now because Karelia told me sadly she could not obtain eggs or bread regularly because of food shortages. Very comfortable, a shirt 2 blocks to the beach. There was a bright street light right over our car parked out front so felt very safe, and there was plenty of available parking. I would stay there again in a heartbeat if I was going back to Varadero.

Great room, great hosts
Lovely hosts, helpful and accommodating even with the language barrier. Very clean and excellent shower. Pleasant courtyard and ideal location. Comms were sketchy but I'm going to put that down to everything in Cuba being a little unreliable!
Very clean, great location, nice hosts. The hosts, Karolia and Victor are very nice, accommodating, always cleaning and keeping the property in excellent condition.
The house is separated into two, with one half for the hosts and other renters, so not as private as I had anticipated. Also, not a lot of sound barrier between the two sides. The outside area is also shared by all tenants. However, overall it was a great rental, and I would stay here again. :)
Had an excellent stay at this Casa. Karelia and Viktor were extremely kind and generous and really helped navigate the city for a first time visitor. The room was perfect-there was a TV and AC, and a beautiful yard to enjoy. Overall, everything was very comfortable. I used an app English to Spanish (available without wifi) which made conversation a lot easier. Thank you Karelia and Viktor for a great stay!
Excellent, like a little hotel. Very nice host who cleans perfectly. Two rooms, one at front with separate entrance and patio/porch. Large patio with tables at back (pictured). Less than 5min on foot to wonderful beach. Extremely good value for money. Wifi possible through host. Seriously intending to come back again some time.
The owners of the casa were so nice and kind ! Karelia and Victor helped us with everything , where to eat , where to go. We felt super cared for !
The room /bathroom super clean !
Gracias Karelia e Victor por Todo !
Nette locatie en op loopafatand van het meeste in de omgeving. Strand 5 min winkels en restaurants ook op loopafstand. Host is vriendelijk en ze hebben een hond en een papagaai. Internet mag je een uurtje gebruik van maken. Alleen verwacht er niet te veel van zoals eigenlijk heel Cuba.
Amazing location near the beach and clean property. The number in the bookingemail is not correct. Take that into account.

Perfect location, but bring your own pillows
No Wi-Fi, contrary to the advertisement in hotels.com. There is a Wi-Fi connection, but you need an internet card to gain access. And even the Wi-Fi connection, you have to ask for it. It was not pro offered.
The pillows were extremely thin and uncomfortable. The second bad, the equivalent of a cot, had a sagging mattress. It provided a terrible sleep.
The breakfast is $5 American per person and includes coffee, eggs, with or without ham and cheese, and toast.
The back patio area allows for outdoor seating. There is a place outside to wash your feet so you don't bring sand inside. That was deeply appreciated.
The staff on site are the owners of the home, and they are very friendly.
The location of the home is absolutely perfect. I repeat perfect. It's a mere three blocks to the beach and restaurants are two blocks away.
