Aussergewöhnliches Haus

Das Feriendomizil ist schon etwas besonderes. Der Tag findet praktisch im Freien statt, gefühlt bist du aber im Wohnzimmer. Die Schlafräume sind etwas abseits, die Betten sind sehr gut, hier gibt es eine AC. Der Pool ist das absolute highlight, er ist sehr sauber und wird wöchentlich geprüft. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt, die Gärtner sind oft bei der Arbeit. Hier kann man Tiere beobachten die man sonst nicht sieht. Das Wohnen in dem Haus war schön.

Beach vacation

Overall great location to tamarindo beach and town. Very clean. Loved the open concept, probably not ideal for infants/toddlers bc of koi pond but we had lots of family helping watch the baby. My older boys enjoyed feeding the fish and swimming in the pool. Property manager was very helpful.

Amazing indoor outdoor property

The property was great for indoor/outdoor living - our favorite was coming back from a hot day on the beach and jumping straight into the pool!

Beautiful house

This house is really fun. It has some good things that you might find lacking in other Costa Rican houses. Water pressure and temp control was pretty amazing. Such an excellent pool. Easy road access and great wifi. We had a few visitors. Iguanas hang out on the roof. That was cool. Frogs hang out in the fish pond. Also cool. Howlers hang out in the neighborhood. We didn't get to see them but they sang the song of their people in the evenings. Super close to Tamarindo and the best beaches in Costa Rica. Plenty of super markets, fruit market and restaurants. Helpful people at the gas station if your tire needs air. I didn't want to leave and that's a sign that the vacation house is great.

Très beau site bien aménagé

Bel accueil à notre arrivée par Marc, notre hôte de ce séjour. Toutes les commodités étaient à notre portée. Place tranquille et apaisante. La piscine est fabuleuse et à une parfaite température. Les oiseaux colorés et un iguane se promènent dans un site enchanteur. On a entendu aussi un singe hurleur. Les salles de bain sont spacieuses. Les pièces sont loins l’unes de l’autres donc on ne craint pas de réveiller les autres convives. Petits bémols: la cuisine aurait besoin d’un rafraichissement: odeur de frigo dans la pièce, portes d’armoire qui claquent fort et qui tiennent à peine. Four et réfrigérateur vieillissants. Mais tout le matériel est là pour se faire de bons repas. On a bien aimé cette villa!
