What Past Guests Have Said: “KulKulCasa is a great place to stay. 7-8blocks from ferry, no need for taxi. 1 block from beach. 2 bedrooms and a lot of items to cook with. Clean and a great little front yard. 2 blocks to main street but tucked back for privacy. The people at the kulkulkite school were just fantastic out front and tolerated my loitering on the swing and dog petting. Great kite beginner session, you must do 3-4 days wind permitting and am regretting not signing up all day everyday. Tribul across the street has reasonably priced cocktails and good mix of music. The house is very eco friendly so there is that to get used to but it all made sense after a day. We wish we could live in this house forever, but with my own pillow. Love love loved it. The service, top notch, instant response to all questions and needs. So kind and so chill!! Joe,Kristin, and Emily Medina”
