My work: Real Estate Broker
Hola! I've been a user of Airbnb for years and I've had a vacation rental in Mexico for 9 years. We just bought this house in Playa Avellanas in 2023 and plan on slowly building our vacation rental dream resort. As an avid traveler, I know what you want for your travels. If I don't have it, I'll do my best to find it for you. My goal is happy guests who not only tell their friends, but keep on coming back for more.
