Excellent advice from Gengen, as always. Here are places where you can rent a casa on or within half a block of the beach for around 25 CUC/night: Playa Baracoa, small fishing town about 25 km west of Havana , 1 km off the Habana-Mariel freeway. Quiet boulevard runs along beach. Many licenced casas on opposite of boulevard, most with self-contained units, a few with own garden, patio, or balcony. No regular bus service to city. You would need...

You really need to decided where you want to go - Varadero or Holguin area....big difference. I would recommend Playa Costa Verde only because I love Holguin area so much but you will have a great time at Bella Costa regardless.

Sunwing usually have great prices for Cuba. As for the casa, it is a good idea to prebook for the first night, so you don't have to rush out of the airport. But for the rest of the trip, it's not a problem booking as you go. Most of the time, you casa owner...
