Also, our home and studios are just steps away from the cliff
overlooking the water. It is a very easy walk down to the beach (much
easier than many places along the coast). Once down there, you can
expect to find a slew of shells, interesting coral formations, numerous
tide pools, and NO PEOPLE. This is a great place for quiet
contemplation. Although swimming on this side of the island is not
generally recommended (due to waves and rocks), you can snorkel here
when the sea is calm.
Beyond the natural beauty that surrounds the studios, their location
ensures that travelers get into the local culture. Yes, we are located
across the street from the water, but we also enjoy the fact that we are
in one of the most vibrant local neighborhoods - La Gloria. Within its
streets you will find friendly locals, small restaurants, many
local-style convenience stores, internet cafes, and stalls where you can
buy juices and containers of fresh fruit (perfect for smoothies in the
morning!).
There is a double-sized bed/lounger on each roof. This is a perfect
spot for sunbathing and star-gazing. The view from up there is
spectacular!
Taxis can be hailed easily from the street in front of Casa Zorro.
Taxis from Casa Zorro to downtown are 20 pesos (less than $2.00usd). If
you are a little more adventurous, you can take the public bus for 3
pesos. Either way, you can be on Playa Norte, one of the most beautiful
beaches in the world, in a matter of minutes.
Amenities: There are comfortable queen-sized beds in both
bedrooms of the main house and in both studios. The kitchen area of the
main house and studios have every appliance you could possibly need
while on vacation including a blender for mixing up cocktails & a
coffeemaker to make that fresh cup of coffee in the morning!
Additionally, you will find a toaster oven, electric burner and griddle.
The main house also offers a microwave and stove top/oven. Casa Zorro
faces the Caribbean so you will enjoy the cooling breezes blowing over
the island. If this breeze isn't enough, however, you are free to use
the ceiling fan and/or air conditioner. There is a CD player/radio in
each studio - Bring your favorite CDs!
Policies: A 50% deposit is required to confirm the

The balance is due a minimum of 10 days prior to your arrival. Unless we
have made special arrangements, we have a 4 night minimum. Check-in time

The maximum number of guests for the main house is limited to 4
(unless we have made special arrangements).
The maximum number of guests per studio is limited to two people (babies
and small children are welcome, but you'll need to bring your own
portable crib).
The home and studios will be thoroughly cleaned before you arrive and
fresh linens and towels are provided however we do not provide beach
towels. We clean the main house and studios weekly - extra cleaning
service can easily be arranged for an additional fee. While we ask that
you do not smoke in our home or studios, you are more than welcome to
smoke anywhere outside. Monthly rates are based on a 28 day month.
Until confirmed, rates and terms are subject to change without notice.
Extra side note: I hate to have to say this but here goes: if you are
looking for a place to rent and then trash, please, please, please look
elsewhere. Although we are only 20 minutes away by ferry, the vibe on
Isla is TOTALLY different. It is our goal to offer an affordable,
relaxing haven here on Isla.
