Possibly the BEST place to stay in Pavones
Wife and I visited Pavones in early April 2023. Being a life-long surfer, Pavones has always been on my bucket list.
The main Pavones break is a short 3-5 minute walk down the road. The center of town is a 5-7 minute walk which includes restaurants and a small Mini-mart. Additional grocery stores are about an 8-10 minute walk away.
House was great and offered 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Pool is cozy and the yard is filled with local plant life as well as a fun Ping Pong table. We even ate a Pineapple which was growing in the yard.
The A/C in the house always kept us cool and my wife loved the pool. We felt secure and safe the entire trip, with no problems over our 10 day stay.
The locals are friendly and smile/wave when approached. The overall vibe was just perfect.
Pro-tip, if you see a lady selling burritos near the Pavones sign, BUY THEM. The fish (fresh Tuna) is fantastic, the chicken is great and ground beef is flavorful. She also sells home made banana bread which my wife craved daily. At $5 per burrito, it's a no brainer (food is expensive in Pavones).
My wife doesn't surf, but we still found plenty to do. Everything from Yoga to hiking up river and even making chocolate or riding horses on the beach. There is a LOT to do in Pavones.
I highly recommend Kelly and Jim's place, it's cute, cozy and their surf board selection is adequate if you are just trying it out.
