Will definitely stay here again!

Punta Custodio is a magical place, and Oliver's house makes it even more so. Oliver was a pleasure to deal with and everything was in perfect order. This is not our first stay at Punta Custodio but first one at this house, and we absolutely loved it! We are ready to go back in a heartbeat! Casa Colibri as an awesome place, with a gorgeous outdoor living room space and 4 private casitas. It feels private and luxurious. It is an incredible place to just relax and recharge. The ocean is just a few steps away and you can hear it from the house. There's no question that we're coming back. It is only a matter of when

Location was so amazing

This location was outstanding. We could not have been more fulfilled in the area and the beauty and peacefulness. The natural beauty and unspoiled environment was second to none in our life’s experiences for our group of six adults.
The casa was very nicely appointed and the housekeepers did an impeccable job.
The meal package option needs some fine tuning and communication could be more complete. The cooks do provide an abundance of food for most meals. Breakfasts being a stronger point.
Take along some really strong mosquito repellent and apply continuously regardless if the mosquitos like you or not. Ask for nets over the beds, they seem to have them available. No screens on the windows which were needed for the bedrooms.

Pool heat apparently is included but property mgr needs a heads up on that.
The huge main pool for the group of homes is beautiful and the best point to view everything the location has to offer. We experienced unbelievable whale watching right off the point. This is the closest anyone could ever get to seeing whales so close up!

We waited for low tide one afternoon and crossed over the river to the very Long Beach just South of us. Take a boogie board along incase you would rather have a little bit of support because the current is strong. Boards are available close by at the main gate.

Meal plan is a little more by the day than by the week which should have been communicated.
Great not to have to worry about food to bring. Be sure to bring your wine and tequila etc. Lots of bottled water is provided.

The Owners truly love and cherish this very unique piece of paradise and it shows the minute you arrive. The property is extremely well maintained inside and out. The furnishings in the great room area are very nice and comfortable.

The perfect tropical vacation home with a cook!

From the moment we arrived at Casa Colibri, we were immediately impressed with the tropical plants, flowers, and the soaring palapa roof over the huge living, dining and kitchen space. It is difficult to forget one is on a tropical vacation while in this lovely home. Everywhere you look you are surrounded by beauty, tropical flowers and lots of hummingbirds, while listening to the sound of crashing waves and tropical birds. Paradise found!!

The bedrooms were all spacious and beautiful. We really loved how the bedrooms are separate and private from one another, yet there is a room with twin beds, perfect for the kids or single travelers, that is closest to the living space so you can keep an eye on the kids. The open living space that leads out to the pool is also great and we really enjoyed the refreshing pool, day or night.

One of the best things about staying here is Moña, the cook/housekeeper. She is a treasure and makes the most delicious, homemade food! Don't hesitate to get the meal plan. It is well worth it and such a great amenity. Water, soda and beer are included, as well as fresh fruit, snacks, and Moña even baked homemade banana bread for our stay. The owner even checked to see if we had any dietary restrictions, and Moña made everything dairy free!

If you can pry yourself away from this beautiful home, a short walk along the private cobblestone road leads you to the extra large community pool. located on the point and surrounded by ocean. Wow!! We had the place to ourselves and it was great.

Communication with the owner was great. This is one of the best vacation rental experiences we have ever had. Don't hesitate to book this house!

Great house, perfect for a family or group

We had a great time at Casa Colibri and loved being away from it all. Having a cook to prepare meals was really nice and the food was terrific. Hanging out in the pool in the evenings and listening to all the birds was our favorite part of the day. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!

Magical vacation home for our family

We had such a magical time at Casa Colibri! The home is made up of wonderful circular spaces cradling, and the sounds of ocean and birds, like a throwback to a wilder time. It was very grounding. We had five young boys with us! Which could have gone awry, but because of Mona and all the staff, because of the ocean, rocks, beaches and pool, it was a vacation to always remember. We went on the waterfall excursion and it was a highlight for all of us! It was a bit of a hike, but our boys (5 through 9) were proud to have had the experience.

The food was delicious, and not needing to cook or clean, was just as delicious! Mona and Karen did everything they could to provide all requests. The fresh mango is mind-blowing and the jack fruit a delight. One of our sons was so excited to eat a coconut. On the second day Alvaro made sure to bring us some, even showing the boys how he cuts it with the machete. I'm sure it's a memory they will always have. Oliver is kind, respectful and so thorough, so prompt, it was a joy to communicate.

We loved the rural feel of getting to the compound, really seeing Mexico and the trips to and from the airport were better than expected. It is a 2.5 hour commute and my only suggestion is: if you can do it in daylight hours all the better. We really had such a special time and we will be back. Thank you Oliver, for sharing your beautiful home with us...and for cultivating a peaceful space in this incredible natural sanctuary.

Beautiful home, amazing location

Casa Colibri was great but keep in mind the house is surrounded by the jungle and expect lots of bugs, especially in the summer. The listing does state this so you can be prepared.
