The guest house is an amazing place to stay, Jerry is welcoming and helpful and Lobitos is a beautiful little town. It is a great place to detach and focus on the day to day.

Mi experiencia en la casa fue muy buena, la pasé genial y muy cómoda. Jerry, el anfitrión es una gran persona, se puede charlar de todo de forma relajada y me sentí a gusto todo el tiempo. Las tareas son muy sencillas y el lugar es increíble. Gracias por todo Jerry! Voy a extrañar a una y a ocho, los perros del la casa. 🫶

La casa Surfhouse fue una casa durante el periodo que estuve ahí, Jerry es alguien de quien puedes aprender mucho, y siempre está ahí para aconsejarte y darte una perspectiva diferente de la vida. Extrañare ese ambiente de playa, la buena compañía de ocho y una ( perritos de la casa ) Me los llevo en el corazón ♥️
