Villa Amor del Mar

A dozen of us took over of 11 and Villa Amor del Mar fit us well. Five bedrooms, nice outdoor areas. We arranged a cook through VE — good decision. We drove along the coast. Enjoyed our time here.

No pool. No marble. No resort. Just a house on the Pacific coast with waves, wind, and a cook who made incredible food from what was available. We surfed every day, ate grilled fish every night, slept with the windows open to the sound of the ocean. The stars here are the real stars — no light pollution, just the Milky Way like a stripe across the sky. The power went out one evening. We lit candles and played cards. It was honestly the best night of the trip.

Remote Pacific coast, no neighbours, no noise. Amor del Mar has five bedrooms and nothing else — that’s the point. We surfed a break that had no one else on it. Cooked every meal from market ingredients. The stars here are staggering — no light pollution for miles. The road in needs high clearance.
