If you expect the Ritz, it ain't. It is as described, and is comfortable, Mark and his wife were delightful, and extremely helpful. Listening, and watching the ocean was relaxing and the views extraordinary. Easy access to to the Casablanca wine country and downtown Vina del Mar.

I stayed in the two-bedroom apartment in this vacation rental property and it was amazing (I think the unit is called La Casa Cafe). Four of us stayed there for a week, there is a room with a double bed and a room with a bunk bed so it was perfect. We also had 4 extra people stay there for two nights to celebrate New Years and there was plenty of room. The living room has 2 single beds in it plus tons of room for an air mattress or two. The place is way bigger than I was expecting, with a huge deck overlooking a beautiful beach and the ocean. There is a large kitchen stocked with dishes etc. so it was easy to cook food there, as well as a barbecue on the deck.
It was a quick walk to the beach, with tons of restaurants and shops in the area. There is also a large grocery store that is walking distance away which was convenient.
If you are looking for a place to stay in the Concon area I would definitely recommend this place. It's a quick bus ride to Renaca as well, and about an hour on the bus to get to Valparaiso. The buses are really easy to get around on if you don't want to drive.
Booking was also very easy, I contacted Mark through email and paid a deposit through paypal, then paid the remainder in cash when we arrived. This is their website: http://conconbay.com/

About 18 kilometers north of Vina del Mar, Con Con Bay is a perfect stay. The apartment we stayed in was called the Crows Nest. Sitting on the side of a small hill, the apartment has an unobstructed view of the Bay. Surfers, sailboards,beachcombing even horseback riding is available.

The apartment is part of a large home renovation. Sitting on the top floor, the apartment is extraordinarily clean, well equipped kitchen and great internet connections. Laundry is available and the security of the property makes it very comfortable. We have been traveling in South America for over 18 months and The Crows Nest at Con Con Bay is by far the accommodations we have found. There is even a private deck with a grill.

If you want a perfect stay with hosts that speak English, Spanish and Portugese stay here.

We enjoyed being in Con Con and visiting the towns of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. The view was lovely and we were able to find shops to purchase food for some of our meals and dine in restaurants for others. Carlos the manager and his wife were very nice and we figured out how to communicate with hand signals and smiles!

The apartment is small and looks pretty in the pictures. In reality the furnishings are a little tired and the floors could really use washing. The location is pretty good and we left each day to explore the nearby towns. If I were to do it again, I probably would not have rented it for five days and only rented it for two days and found another location to explore other areas of Chile

We enjoyed three and half superb days at this idyllic hideaway in Concon. The highlights of this place are its amazing views from the deck. The inside of the apartment was certainly in good shape, but know that it's certainly not a modern, "just built" place. Instead, it has aged appliances and knick-knacks from yesteryear. (Note that we stayed in the "Beach House", which had more than enough room for our family of four.) Additionally, Carlos and Isabella, the caretakers, were very helpful during our stay. We would definitely return to this location. Also, my two children loved playing with Reggie, a 50 kilo Great Dane (mix?) who has the disposition of a kitten.

Before going to Chile I found very few reviews from UK residents so I feel I owe it to potential travelers to list something. The apartment does need some updating and could do with some new linen too, but all can be forgiven because the views of the beach from the bedroom, sitting room and the deck are so wonderful. The kitchen is well equiped and has views over tropical flowers. The apartment also has two (guard?) dogs which we took for walks on the beach each day. The caretaker is very nice but speaks no English.
