Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Relatively new casa 2017, we are still gradually adding to. Terrific location for everything. The walk into town is easy yet we are in a quiet safe neighborhood, with great neighbors, with a private courtyard and beautiful garden with a grand palapa dance floor and firepit. We are approximately two blocks from ocean, but common access in town is a little further. Walk into town easy and we always have one or two bikes you can use. This is a friendly tourist town that is a great combo of expats and local Mexicans. Always great music and restaurants in town of Barra (de Navidad), or in the town of Melaque a 10 minute drive away. There is a reason we and so many others fell in love with this town.
