We had an amazing week at this incredible property surfing, swimming and relaxing. We opted to have most meals cooked for us, which made it even more relaxing. I can't recommend these casitas enough!

This was an excellent location for our extended family gathering. Each family had their own bungalow, giving the young families the private space they needed. They prepared most meals for us giving us good food for all of us and at a good price. We ranged in age from under one to over 70 and the place worked well for all of us. Highly recommend this place for a larger gathering.

Our host was highly responsive. The location was superb! It is rustic but comfortable for people of all ages. We ranged from 81 to 6 years old and had a fabulous time. The ocean was 83 degrees and provided just the right amount of waves for body surfing and our teens to learn to surf. The sunsets were otherworldly. The cook wonderful.

What a great trip or group of 5 families (9 adults, 9 teens) had in this property! Each of the bungalows was identical with a large deck, a small kitchen area, two spacious bedrooms and two expansive bathrooms. The AC in the bedrooms was perfect. We opted to have Alicria cook our dinners and some breakfasts for us and they were outstanding. She hit the quantities of everything spot on, and accommodated our mix of meat eaters and vegetarians perfectly. Sher, the concierge took care of finding us the best activities and vendors. We had surf lessons, an estuary tour, daily yoga and a sunset tour. All of the providers she worked with were fantastic. The pool was cleaned daily and started a wonderful temperature even though it was so hot outside. Manfred, the owner was responsive when we requested some fans for the shelter above the communal kitchen. Our group could not have been happier with this rental--the perfect blend of private and public space, great food at great prices, and beachfront on a sandy, deserted, beautiful beach with warm swimmable water. What more could you want?

We had a great experience staying here. We used the cook service for a few nights and used the concierge service for activities. Everything went smoothly and they were able to accommodate our requests (even if we were trying to book an activity the evening before!)

Great trip!

Perfect combination of privacy, convenience and service to make for a great beach vacation. The layout is perfect for couples, we had six couples, everyone had their own space and we all hung out at the pool, dining area and upper deck. Beach is amazing and 30 seconds away. Location hard to beat. Staff is exceptional and the host made it super easy to plan for a big group. All activities were planned well and stress free because of their help.

Amazing Place

This place is truly awesome. A gem in Costa Rica, we had a week long stay here and our wedding and we feel super lucky to have been able to have it here. The team on the ground are great and worked really hard to make the day a success as well as throughout the whole week. It's a perfect beach side location which is very hard to find in Costa Rica.

Two Years in A Row

We love this place: beach, pool, rustic style cozy accommodations, great AC, great sand, close to Tamarindo and far enough from it. This is a wonderful place to spend time with your family and friends, kids and adults. Good for family vaca and for yoga retreat and surfing if that's your thing. Will be back.
