Surf Trip

I stayed in the studio apartment for one week surf vacation. Apartment has a little kitchen, full bathroom A/C and queen bed. The unit is perfect for one or two adults. Property location is right on main break and has a nice pool. Alex was very accommodating with guests. Had a great stay. Pura Vida!!

Perfect Surfing Location

Alex's property provides a nice atmosphere for your holiday. The unit had a small cooking area and we were able to prepare basic meals in the studio. We were provided with clean towels, linens etc upon arrival. The unit had a comfortable bed, we felt safe on the property and enjoyed our time. It is perfect for surfing access with a short walk to the main break. Thank you for the stay!

Dream vacation

This property had everything we needed located in the best place in Costa Rica. The minute long walk to the beach was beautiful right through a nature trail. The property had a nice well-maintained swimming pool. Our studio unit was well-equipped and super comfortable for our 12 day stay. Alex went out of his way to make our experience fantastic. I have already and will continue to Recommend this place to all of my friends.

Dark and disappointong

The positives first for sure, because there are some. GREAT LOCATION! It was Also quiet, had decent AC, and nice grounds with a pool. Remember it’s a studio, so the refrigerator hums and buzzes next to your head all night, As does the microwave as the power goes off every now and then and it chirps until you set the clock. The front door doesn’t seal,so noise and bugs are abound. This place just needs some TLC-clogged drains, broken shower heads, poorly functioning toilets (I’ve traveled in third world countries quite a bit so I know what normal is) dirty blankets and a sheet with blood on it when we got there. The property manager tried to tell the health care provider that it was make-up and not blood on the sheets. Nope, sorry. Blood on sheets sadly is pretty much my zone of expertise. Just a sheet on the bed when we arrived so pulled a light blanket off the shelf, opened it into the bed and sand went everywhere. Was probably used as a beach blanket and was just folded up and put away, hidden from the housekeepers. Property manager tried to tell us it was sand from our feet. As a 40 year surfer, I’d say sand on my feet is my subspecialty, and sandy feet in the bed for me is a major no no. Got the “you get what you paid for” vibe from him several times and was quoted that the rooms across the street were several thousand/night and we paid $X. That was demeaning, was relayed to us the day we arrived, and hung for a few days. LOVE Nosara and the vibe otherwise.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 January 2024
As the owner/manager this review reads more like a rant than a review. The guest makes not mention of the efforts that were made to remedy the guest's requests. The blanket with sand was immediately washed and returned for use. The slow shower drain was immediately cleaned and works perfectly. The shower head broke during the visit and was replaced within hours. The sheets were changed immediately. And prior to checkin, the sheets were washed with hot water and bleach, as always. If the stain that was found was actually blood, then there is no possible health hazard. This was not a fresh stain, blood or otherwise. At the time of this review, the AC unit was 2 months old. The Refrigerator was 3 months old. The Refrigerator is plugged into a power strip that is on the night stand next to the bed. If a person wishes to not hear the refrigerator at night, turning off the Refrigerator using the power strip eliminates the noise. The exact same set up is used for the microwave. The recurring power outages are outside the control of the owner. This is a regional problem not exclusive to my property. Regarding bugs and door, anyone that visits Costa Rica and is not aware that it is the 2nd most biologically diverse country on Planet Earth will discover that all wildlife here is abundant. Regarding the tiolet, it was in perfect working order during the guest's entire visit. The toilet is a dual-flush system used for water conservation. The user of the toilet must understand the type of human waste deposited into the toilet and press the correct button to get more, or less, water flushed to dispose the waste. The guest is correct that I stated that the prices for any accomodation within 1/4 mile of my beach front property have experienced sky rocketing prices. I do not consider that a reason to deliver less than clean, safe and operational choice for all my guests.
