My husband and I stayed in the casita for 1 month in January. I don't think you could find a more lovely garden in a more central location than Casa Coba. The casita is one large room plus a bathroom with good sized but lukewarm shower. It is beautifully built with natural wood accents and furniture, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. There is a nice big covered patio outside where we spent much of our afternoons in the hammock.
Inside Casa Coba's very secure walls are the owners and one other apartment, so if you're lucky like us you'll have some friendly neighbors during your stay. Speaking of friendly neighbors, there are 7 cats who come and go on the property; some shy and some (my favorites!) who appeared like clockwork, pretending innocence, the moment I started making dinner. We found Casa Coba and Samara in general very quiet except for some distant bar music on the weekends. Don't worry about bugs because the doors have lovely screen curtains, there is a mosquito net on the bed, and the apartment is dilligently cleaned twice a week - even a little too dilligently for us!
The owners Katrina and Pierro were a pleasure to live with. They speak fluent English, Spanish, French, and German and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed. Pierro makes amazing homemade bread and Katrina makes a very tasty fermented fruit drink! Katrina runs a popular morning yoga class at the back of the garden, although we didn't attend it. Instead we rented boards and took surf lessons from Choco's Surf School. If you have the time, Samara is a great beach for learning to surf. It's also a great beach for swimming and long strolls, and it's just a minute's walk from Casa Coba to the water. Grocery stores, banks, restaurants and bars are all within a couple minutes walk. I recommend Cafe Esmeralda for great food and L'Ancla for having a quiet drink and watching the sunset.
