It is really close to the sandy beaches, in what was a quiet location when we visited in early April. We loved sitting for breakfast on the verandah at the front watching the waves and weren't bothered by the occasional passer-by. The areas to the back of the property include two areas for sitting and a great area on top of the garage for sun bathing and drying the washing that we were able to do using the machine in the garage.
Antonio was a knowledgeable host who sent us electronic advice for suitable short trips, including a visit to the city of Cartagena, and a place where we could hire bicycles. He also directed us to the world's best ice cream parlour just a half hour walk along the beach to the north.
We arrived very late, but his parents came and showed us around the property, and although they had hardly any English, we appreciated their guided tour - demonstrating where we couldn't communicate in words! A few days later they left a huge bag of huge lemons at the door, and we made fresh lemonade to go with the next meal we prepared in the well equipped brand new kitchen.
The property is well equipped, but a vacuum would perhaps have been more use than a brush to clear up the sand that we trailed into the house. One piece of equipment we needed was a tin opener, but we rectified this.
