Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Matanzas

We adored our stay at this house! Extremely spacious and perfect for a large group like ours. It had multiple patios, where we had amazing game nights and drinks with the family. EXTREMELY close to a beautiful clean beach - literally 2 minutes walk from the house. Amazing location: it’s right at the beginning of Varadero with walkable access to downtown and all restaurants/amenities. Very close access to the bridge to Santa Marta which allows to explore real Cuban life. The house is peaceful, with lots of greenery and plants - we loved the ambiance. Special thanks and gratitude to Dalia who was available to help whenever we needed it, and made us feel at home! She is the soul of the house and an amazing help with everything (navigation, recommendations, food, etc) you may need during your stay. The host, Maite, was also able to provide WiFi during our stay which was very helpful. Thank you both Dalia and Maite! We will definitely come again!

Very nice place. It accommodates a lot of people, clean and close to the beach. Highly recommended!!!

We stayed at Ridel’s place for Christmas and it was an absolutely lovely stay. Just one block from the beach and walkable to several restaurants and stores. People may feel reluctant to visit Cuba with news of the blackouts but we never experienced and understand that Varadero has been protected from the outages the rest of the island experienced. The beach is just stunning and the people are lovely. Book your trip today—they need the tourists and you will love this part of Cuba!

Libbys is a great host! She provided a clear orientation and then helped us find transportation to the Cueva de los peces on the other side of the bay. Meals were excellent too. Great location and great value for a fun beach trip.

An authentic Cuban finca all for yourself, with a spacious clean and neat house and a huge garden with fruit trees. My partner and I felt at home here, and always so well taken care of by the utterly and genuinely friendly hosts. We missed these people and the place as soon as we left. We enjoyed daily short strolls to the nearby village Barreras (for buying produce etc), and the around 45 min walk to the most gorgeous beach nearby. One can also take taxi to the beach, and to the bigger and busier beach-town Guanabo. It may be smart to bring your own mosquito net/tent, but only for the twilight and early mornings, even though we rarely got bitten. The kitchen is spaceous and has all the basics. I can warmly recommend it, with its local Cuban charm and the most helpful and exellent hosts. This place is a gem!

In this home we have a ground floor with two bedrooms and their respective bathrooms and a living room, with a table and a couple of armchairs. Also, when bringing a rental car, we were allowed to park inside the property. We had breakfasts and dinners in the unit and it was all delicious. They cooked us a spectacular lobster stew. The house is next to Playa Larga, and very close to Guamá and the cave of the fish. We had a pleasant stay.

Had a wonderful time being away from the busyness of Havana. Really enjoyed the pool and having the outside grill was a blast. The stores in the was very convenient to walk to and having a restaurant near by was great when we wanted not to cook. Would definitely stay again.

I love this place, spacious, clean, peaceful and the basics you need. Yanet was super helpul giving directions to my driver and finding the house is no problem. On arrival she was waiting outside and went with us to point out all the locations near us to buy food and other stuff. Beach is less than 4 blocks away which is not a far walk at all. 3 blocks from the 5th main street where you can find about everything including restaurants open until really late at night. The pool is amazing and the back area its in really fresh big and relaxing. Yanet does live in the far back house but you hardly see her and when you do its always good conversations with her. She makes you feel right at home and always available for anythings thats needed. Location felt really safe plus theirs a night guard thats always on duty. Defiantly marked as my favorite and saved for future stays in Guanabo. Thank you Yanet, i will be back soon.

Very nice space for our family. Just outside Guanabo, they have bikes to go into town or a short cab ride. The beach is two blocks with lots of beach glass. Quiet location!

Very nice place super host everywhere we could get very comfortably near the restaurant no problem Thank you for checking in

It was very cozy to be in your home, always kind and attentive to us, even though, as you all know, Cuba has its blackouts, but Juan and his wife were always attentive to me and my family, and my family enjoyed the house and the atmosphere very much, and of course we will repeat, there is no doubt that we had an incredible time and again, thank you very much for giving us the best 😘😘😘

We spent a special days at the house, Mina's attention was spectacular, that lady is special. We will return. Pasamos unos días especiales en l casa y Mina es un amor de persona, ella hizo especial nuestra estancia.

A place close to the beach, very quiet and cozy with incredible cleanliness both in the house and the pools. The hostess is always attentive to her guests. Thank you, Miss Amarilis…

Very private clean and big house in a very good location amazing place! Definitely going back! the host was very helpful and responsive. Thank you!

Great little place but don’t expect to be able to get any form of internet in this little location unless you roam. The place was great otherwise

Excellent host! Very good Anfitrión. Collaborative and good human qualities.

It’s a great place to stay, the owner has an aggregator for the blackouts which makes the stay more enjoyable.

Super nice and clean apartment with nice vies and windows. very helpful hosts and the kiosk downstairs is super helpful. for the price its a amazing offer. these days the energy often goes, that part of Cuba. if not, it would be 5 stars! Gracias por todo

Very nice house as in the photos. Everything is very clean. Mr. Ramón who takes care of the house is very helpful.

This is a very nice clean comfortable place to stay. Very close to the main centre of Boca near lots of restaurants and the waterfront. Mario and his wife were extremely helpful to me and my husband. We had the flu and he gave us some medication. Also gave me a ride to the airport. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere quiet and relaxed. Thank you 🙏

I had a most amazing eight full days at Melissa’s place. It is clean, big enough for two people and very close to a beautiful beach. Location is very good, best to buy Hop on Hop off bus to go around all day in Varadero for 5 USD. Center of Varadero is about 10 min by bus or 40 min walk. There are many restaurants of various ranges of prices. Electricity in Varadero was steady, as was water, but there are shortages of bread and food if you plan to cook. If you are easy and can go on one or two meals a day, there is always tortilla with eggs, coffee and water in bottles. Best to pay is in USD, or Euro. Canadian dollar is ok but not as much. Melissa was away but kept in touch and her father was super helpful and speaks great English. Kitchen is small and not equipped with cook staples so keep that in mind. Yard is small but adorable and shared with wonderful people who rent next door. They helped me a lot. For Cuban standards this place is lovely. If you love Cuba , 🇨🇺 go there! 🇨🇺💜

Ernesto is perfectly friendly. He helped me lift my suitcase up. The apartment was clean and tidy. The neighborhood was quiet and close to downtown. The beach is 20 min walk, but you can also get a taxi very easily. I would definitely recommend it!
