Amazing Paradise

We stayed for a week at this wonderful property. The beds were soft and comfortable, the whole house was clean and fresh. Everything we needed was available at the house, it was amazing. The pool was so refreshing after a days long hike or tour. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back and stay again. Nicely located between Jaco and Quepos with so much to do and see around.

Perfect for our family.

This house is located about halfway between Jaco and Manuel Antonio, we spent time in each town and several days just hanging out the house in the pool or at the beach. The house is perfectly equipped to provide everything we needed, including a great host to help out if needed. Our boys had a great time in those incredible waves. Thanks for a great stay.

Had the best family vacation. House was even better than pictures. Clean, well equipped and private. The pool and grounds were kept beautifully. Enjoyed hearing and seeing all the wildlife around house. Short drive to food stores in Parrita. Recommend guided tour in Manuel Antonio National Park, Il Iguana chocolate Farm tour (need 4x4) and relaxing. Thank you Josee for sharing and to staff that maintain. Mariette was so pleasant, helpful and easy to contact.

This place was absolutely beautiful. The house was fully stocked with anything you could possibly need, even beach chairs/coolers. We felt very safe in this location and area. We had many epic experiences while we stayed here thanks to the wonderful house keepers. She brought us down the beach to the sea turtle nursery and we got to release baby sea turtles into the ocean. This was a once in a lifetime experience and it was unplanned. They also made sure to have us fresh coconuts to drink out of when we wanted. Absolutely loved having the beach to ourselves and you must make a stop at The Bamboo Cafe down the road, you won't be disappointed. If you plan on going to this area in Costa Rica I would make sure to stay here.

The listing photos of this property are absolutely amazing, but they pale in comparison to the in-person experience. We could hardly believe it was real! My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Casa Amarillo, and will cherish our experience for years to come. Marietta was attentive, caring and genuine. She even helped book us massages right on the property grounds, which were so peaceful and special. Fernanda, the massage therapist is, in my wife's words "a living angel." You'll have to experience it for yourself! Overall, the experience was incredible, the property is stunning, the proximity to the beach is insane, the home was so clean and has so much character, and everyone we met was kind and gracious. If we have the opportunity to return, we'll do so with excitement and nostalgia in our hearts. ¡Muchas Gracias y Pura Vida!

First visit to Costa Rica

Playa Bandera, on the Beach, was the perfect location for celebrating our 40th anniversary. The home is clean and very well appointed, we wanted for nothing. The property is beautiful and secluded, perfect for relaxing and cooling off in the pool. The almost completely empty beach was great for our early morning and late afternoon walks. The proximity to Jaco, Quepos and surrounding areas is perfect with a rental car. Overall 10 out of 10 experience!!

We had an amazing time in Costa Rica! Marriette was a phenomenal host as well as the house and grounds keeper. From fresh coconuts to our friendly stray dog I wanted to bring back with us, the sound of the ocean and amazing time on the property swimming in the pool we couldn’t have asked for a better week we had. Pura Vida Costa Rica until next time! Love Natasha & Brett!

Secluded Beach

Our family had a great time at this property. It was like having your own beach to yourself as usually you could look either direction and not see anyone. Our family enjoyed playing in the pool daily to an audience of iguanas. We also saw scarlet macaws and monkeys in the area. The grounds to the property were very well kept and communication from the host and next door neighbor (manager) were helpful. We created many new memories at this home and would stay there again!

Exceeded our expectations

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is much more spectacular in person. We loved lazy days at the pool and enjoyed the peace and solitude of the beach. The home was immaculate and very nicely decorated. The owner had thought of everything that you may need during your stay. The wildlife was such treat, we saw monkeys/lizards/Scarlett Mac laws and I even got to release baby turtles into the sea at sunset. Finally the staff were so efficient and friendly. The property is managed by Marrietta who was so lovely and knowledgeable. We would stay again, I was sad to leave.
