Sun, sand and chocolate clams cooked on the beach. What more can you ask for out of life
Great location, beautiful setting, lush, environmentally friendly landscaping. Clean, safe community, surrounded by friendly folks. Attended the Monday, Wednesday, Friday water aerobics sessions all three weeks we were in Loretto and spent the remainder of the time hanging out at the lap pool and hopping between restaurants and spas. Our particular favorite was Dos Lobos, an art gallery/sushi bar with the best Bloody Mary I have ever had. My husband said the same thing about his Margarita. We found the little farmer's market run by a local family just off the property open on Wednesday's and Saturday's and just a bike ride away. They were able to keep us in fresh fruit and veg, along with some beautifully prepared local dishes. We found a lovely spot under a palapa on the beach that was private enough that other people intruding on our space wasn't an issue, but with enough action to stay interesting. Cabbed to the historic district in Loretto several times where we enjoyed the really good restaurants, shopped trinkets and included a brief stop at the grocery store to pick up supplies. The people, as always, are some of the friendliest around. Ultimately, it's probably not what we are looking for in an extended (3-4 months) property rental in the winter, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back. Casago folks are the BEST! I don't think "no" is in their vocabulary as we had several requests for services that were out of the ordinary and they accommodated us without hesitation. One of them even fixed my glasses! Very quiet and not much of a night life, but the weather was just about perfect and our unit gave 4 adults lots of privacy as one master bedroom suite is on the 2nd floor and the other master bedroom suite on the main level. It might not be appropriate for family's with small children as you have to access one of the bedrooms by going out the entry and up the stairs, but it was perfect for two couples and/or teenagers. Prepare yourself for some starry starry nights on the viewing tower. Magical. Being from Seattle, we don't get much star action here, so nights in Loretto were without question, some of my favorites times in Founders Bay.
