Fantastic

Beautiful house and property tucked right in the jungle, with direct beach access. Very close to Punta Uva which has great swimming and surfing for kids. Easy drive to Puerto Viejo for restaurants. Super clean, very well maintained, good A/C. Hosts were extremely helpful and responsive - they organized a private driver from SJO to the house, and then to the car rental the next day. Highly recommend!

Incredible stay, a true Oasis!

We had an absolutely incredible stay. The place was fantastic. We loved the location after staying at a beach house in the more hectic PV area down the road. This house was slightly set back from the direct path to the beach, very private with a beautiful front landscape. We watched the ocean from the upper deck and loved watching the special tropical bird nest! We enjoyed the big kitchen, the open sitting areas and had all the amenities we needed! We were a family of four from Canada. Highly recommend this place

Dream vacation home

Wow! This house was everything we hoped for and more! The location was spectacular - amazing views, sounds and lots of privacy. My daughters loved the sand toys and boogie boards, and we used them daily at the beach just across their garden, at walking distance. The kitchen had everything we needed (minus a microwave, which I could have used to reheat my coffee) and the common areas downstairs were extraordinary. We loved waking up to the howler monkeys and variety of birdsongs, along with the waves and occasional rain storms. Overall, would highly recommend this house for families and would love to come back in the future.

Great private place on the beach with jungle vibe

Just spent a week with the family at this beautiful spot. Can't say enough about it. Very cool home with a jungle vibe right next to the beach. A lot of privacy and space and a killer open patio. Love the spacious patio. Super clean with all the amenities you would need. Boogie boards, surf boards, washer/dryer, really cool furniture and decor, AC in bedrooms. Great beach to walk, swim, and see wildlife (a lot of monkeys and macaws). Also very close to Punta Uva beach (our fav) and Puerto Viejo. Had a lot of great meals at the local restaurants. Management very responsive to questions or issues. Great time. Highly recommended. Would stay again.

More Than We Expected

After booking this property I became concerned because my friend said that there was only one review online. I told him not to worry about it because VRBO properties are always fine with me. When we arrived it was night time. We had a little problem at the gate because there is a digital box and a small manual key box above that that is difficult to see at night. We got in to the property and were pleased with the building itself. Very nice porch that acts like a living room outside of the indoor kitchen. The main bedroom is very nice and overlooks the garden to the beach. The following day, we awoke to a vibrant display of colors and sounds. The sounds of the waves from the beach, the parrots, and the monkeys was so relaxing. This place is magical.
