| We spent 10 days at the Casa in April. It was our fourth year in a row and we loved it as much as the first time. The house is beautiful as always, and was recently refreshed with new paint inside and out. My daughter, who was 2 on our first visit, is now 6 and had a fabulous time in the pool for many, many hours every day. We hope to continue to make an annual trip to Lo De Marcos, and stay in our favorite house there! |

| Just what we needed! This place is only second to our new old friends, the owners, Patti and Dave. The casa is amazing and clean and definately upscale. The beach is the best there is... secluded, warm water, icing sugar sand, incredible swimming. The people in the village of Lo de Marcos are very special, each warm and friendly and sincere. Make sure you visit Casa de los Ninos while there. We have found paradise and will be back! |

| Wow! We have enjoyed vacationing in Mexico for years but the experience at Casa Lo De Marcos was, without a doubt, the best ever. Quiet town, quiet beach, beautiful accommodations and wonderful hosts. What more could you ask for. We absolutely loved it! |

| We stayed in Feb and had a fantastic time. Our only complaint was that we were in Mexico for a family wedding that was in San Pancho and we spent more time driving than enjoying this beautiful home and beach. The hosts were fantastic, the ambiance wonderful and everything well-kept and comfortable. We would definately stay again and have told many friends about it already (and shown the pictures, of course)!! |

| We stayed at Casa Lo De Marcos for ten days in February; it was our third year in a row staying there. The house remains beautiful, convenient, comfortable, and perfectly located. My daughter, who is now 5, had a wonderful time in the pool and on the beach. The town remains unspoiled and charming. We hope to continue to go to LDM and stay at the Casa every year. I also recommend visiting Casa De Los Ninos, a nonprofit in town that provides LDM kids with afterschool activities, a library, computer access and training, and language classes. We did crafts there and had a wonderful time. |

| We spent 5 days at Casa lo de Marco and it was not enough. This place is magical and was a source of renewal for us. We celebrated our anniversary along with some great friends who were with us by having Norma (the housekeeper) cook for us. It was fabulous and she went out of her way to take care of us and make the evening special. The beach is spectacular and we walked from one end to the other every day. The locals are wonderful people...we enjoyed the interaction with them. We will definately return to this place again! |

Where to begin? This was everything and more than what was expected. Gorgeous accomodations, your own pool, a bedroom that looks out over the ocean a deserted pristine beach just a few feet from the casa. The tranquility of the lapping waves each night of slumber. Beautiful sunrises,
gorgeous, breathtaking sunsets each evening. Reminding you that each day is a prescious gift and to be appreciated and respected. My husband and I, have traveled many years to PV. However, there are only a couple of Casa's that truly prove to be all that was stated in their monologue. "Casa Lo De Marcos" was all that and more. We will definitely return to this beautiful paradise retreat again. The locals in this town were warm, friendly and welcoming. This specific location is close to many other small villages that we visited. The proximity of this casa is great, you can choose a "different flavor" each day. If that is important to you. We enjoyed this choice. But, ALWAYS were happy to return to Casa Lo De Marcos. The owner of this home David Martinez, happened to be visiting while we were vacationing. David, was welcoming, warm, and always helpful. Without being intrussive in any manner. We are already planning our next trip. Most Sincerely, David & Debra Versteeg Vancouver, Washington |

| What a fabulous place! The Casa is perfect - all you need. It was our first time using VRBO and did we ever luck out! What a place, what a view! The beach is long and beautiful and peaceful. The waves weren't too big for the kids to play in the ocean. The pool is great - perfect size. Lo de Marcos is quiet and not "touristy", but there was a parade and a carnival while we were there and both were great! The people are friendly and kind. We travelled to nearby San Pancho and Sayulita which were also nice, but we were always happy to get back to the Casa Lo de Marcos, the quiet town and quiet beach. We had a fabulous time and a perfect holiday. If you are looking for a little Mexican culture along with your relaxing beach holiday, we would definitely recommend it! |

| We had an absolutely blissful stay at Casa lo de Marcos. The beach was a dream come true for our two-year-old. I think this house has the best location on this idyllic beach. The house was well stocked, from the kitchen to the sand toys. Super clean and comfortable. We'll be back. |

We had a fantastic time. Being so close to the
ocean and listening to the waves at night was truly
inspiring. Best time for tranquility was during the
week, and fun to have Mexican vacationers come in
on the weekend. We loved walking around town.
The slow pace was just what we needed. We were
unplugged. Most touching was visiting La Casa de
los Ninos, started by the homeowners and other
wonderful folks. Do check in, and think about
volunteering if the spirit moves you! We will be
back for sure. |

We had a fabulous stay at the Casa last week. It is simply beautiful, very well designed, especially those gorgeous wood doors that open onto the terrace so you can live inside and out. We traveled with another mom and her two kids and the three girls loved being right on the beach AND having a swimming pool. The house is perfect and the location can't be beat! We're trying to figure out how we can all go for a month!

This is our second trip to Lo de Marcos, once 6 years ago and now this special week. I told my wife I needed some "sand in my soul" fix and I wanted to walk the beach here at Lo de Marcos. It has worked!
The unit was equipped well, we cooked and ate here mostly. I consumed two spiritual books, meditated daily, walked the beach, had great massages by a lady named 'Terry', very gracious. Norma your housekeeper was great!
I received some divine direction and inspiration here and plan on making this an annual homecoming. There is something magical here in this casa. We leave it blessed and hope those who follow, experience the "magic"!

| Casa Lo de Marcos was the perfect ending to an awesome vacation! The first week in Mexico we stayed at a bed and breakfast Casa Mirador just South of Pto Vallarta,which was awesome, I didn't think it could get any better untill we arrive at Casa lo de Marcos, WOW! The casa was beautiful! Right on the beach, I coudn't of asked for a better ending to a perfect vacation! If you just want to get away and relax, this is the place to be. Lo de Marcos is a very quiet slow! Mexican village, we LOVED IT! We'll be back! |

"Muy Bien" Our honeymoon could not have ended in a better place or casa. The whole Lo de Marcos experience has been so memorable. The casa is like a home away from home, clean, comfortable & well designed. We prepared some amazing meals...
The town is the most tranquill, warm and friendliest in the whole region, we just loved it. Stores had all the supplies we needed, fresh fish, shrimp, pollo, beef, all the vegies and fruit you could ever eat. We found that the restaurants in town are very economical, tipico mexican food-wholesome, delicious. San Pancho's restaurants were very expensive.
The playa-WOW! No better beach anywhere! Loved to boogie board & walk North to South. Playa Los Venados is a little gem...Monday-Friday..mostly deserted. Easy to spend an entire winter here!
Our little casa was perfect and the beach and sunsets spectacular. Sad to leave but already looking forward to our return.
