Sample Entries from Karaway's Guest Book and comment letters
Guest from Chicago IL area, July, 2002
I'm back to the grim reality of the Monday morning workday after an idyllic
stay at your wonderful villa on the beach. The website photos don't do
justice to the gem that is Villa Karaway. The place, the staff, the ocean,
the pool...........all first class.
I'll have to put in regular gym visits this week to get the extra pounds off,
but I didn't want to miss out on any of Adela's great meals. The family had
several favorites that were repeated during the week......tortilla soup,
chicken salad sandwiches, flan, barbecued chicken, assorted kabobs and, of
course, those great mashed potatoes.
We had baby Julia's first birthday there complete with birthday cake,
presents, and a piñata. She even had a traditional Mexican dress on.
There was so much to see and do, but we also had laid back time and enjoyed
not only the big pool but our own little pool every day. I don't think I'll
ever hear Jimmy Buffet again without an image of Villa Karaway coming to
mind.
Can't wait to get back again someday soon!

Dear Wayne and Karen:
We would like to take a moment to thank you for the use of your beautiful
Mexican casa. Each morning we awoke to the sound of waves, a stream of
sunlight across our private veranda, and the refreshing smell of salt air. I
only wish we’d had a month, not a week.
Your casa is a wonderful architectural mix of the local vernacular style
with first world amenities. The flow of spaces from the dining, down through
the indoor living to the outdoor living and the private pool creates a
naturally comfortable family environment.
As an architect, I especially enjoyed the thickness of the walls, the light
filled niches, and the generous volumes of the rooms. It was a pleasure to
simply walk through the casa, feel the tall, narrowness of the hallways, the
contraction of an entry space, and then the release into the grand, central
living space.
Thank you also for the recommendation of your cook. Adela is one of the
warmest, most genuine people I have ever met. My kids fell in love with her,
and her cooking is a delight. In the morning we would wake to a heaping dish
of fresh fruit, in the evening she would spread before us feasts of local
fish or chicken cooked with a Mexican flair, and in the day a steady stream
of tostadas, fresh guacamole, nachos and salsa would stream from the kitchen.
Please pass on our recommendation to others who may be interested in renting
Casa Karaway and feel free to have them contact us for a direct reference.
The house is beautiful and comfortable, the beach was safe for my children (ages
6 and 8), and the short bus ride into town (10 minutes) was an enjoyable
adventure for the whole family.

relaxing and Karaway was perfect. We are already talking of next year. Thank
you for sharing your villa." - C.H. from California
