Family time at Christmas

We had a really wonderful time at the beach house. The owner was very responsive and helpful. She helped us coordinate food and activities. We went horseback riding at sunset on the beach right out side our door. The kids surfed with a local instructor a couple of days. We loved the pool and the 3 hole golf course. Bring some extra balls as the jungle seems to eat them. We had some meals made at home and the cook was fantastic. She was a great cook and made meal time easy and no hassle. Make sure to bring plenty of cash. There isnt an ATM for miles (like 60). My only cons would be the furniture was a little worse for wear and we were not a fan of cockroaches. There werent a lot but my mother in law is terrified of them so it was eventful if we saw any. Im sure the hot humid climate makes it a never ending battle. All in all we had a magnific time. I really appreciate all the hosts did to make our stay great. We made some fantastic memories !

BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN PROPERTY WITH AMAZING STAFF!

This was our first time in Costa Rica and it couldn't have been better! There were 8 of us ages ranging from 18-54 friends and family. The bedrooms and bathrooms made it easy for 3 different friends/families to our own rooms and bathroom. The property is expansive and gorgeous. The grounds are so well taken care of and the pool is always clean. There is so much space on the property for taking a stroll, playing frisbee, playing golf or just taking in the wildlife. It is ocean front and the sunsets are amazing. Grab a surfboard or kayak or just take a walk down the beach where it is much sandier to hop in for a swim. There is plenty of spots to get relief from the sun if you need it but there was a beautiful breeze most of the time so it never felt hot until you left the property. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. The kitchen has all gadgets one needs to cook up a fresh catch and the outdoor living area near the pool has a beautiful grill, sink and granite counter to prepare. The washer and dryer were key as well! BEST part of our trip was getting to know Jackie and Dana. They were both so helpful and there when we needed them to help filet a fish or offer suggestions. Jackie is an amazing cook!!!!!!! She cooked tico cuisine for several meals throughout the week and she did not disappoint. We were all amazed and couldn't wait until the next meal. We got some recipes to try at home but I guarantee they won't be as good. She is amazing!!!! If able I would definitely rent a car. There is a grocery store close by but a hot walk for sure. Horseback riding and fishing excursions were worth it! We would come back here in a heartbeat. Judi was so helpful and always responsive with all of the questions (like 50 :)) that we had prior to our arrival and she checked in while we were there. Good idea to use what's app as this helped communication with Judi and Jackie. We could just the translation option to help. OVERALL AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!

Fantastic garden and beach home

A long drive but totally worth it. Judi and Steve are super hosts. We stayed in the main house on the second floor with a huge veranda overlooking the gardens and just steps away from the beach surfing, golf, horseback riding and a great swimming pool. Jacki and Geiner are great as well, she made us a delicious dinner one evening and he brought us coconuts that were skillfully carved as drinking mugs with their fresh coconut water for a refreshing drink and showed us our first sloth which was hanging out on the properties many acres. Super stay, we hope to come back sometime.

Great time at the Beach, Family of 5.

We spent Christmas here and it was fantastic! This place is incredible and Judi was a huge help with multiple aspects of our trip. From recommendations of where to buy food to what to do in the local area along with massage appointments, her and Steve are great hosts. My boys are 5, 10 and 13 and this place was perfect! Literally steps from the beach the house didn't disappoint, it was great and we fell into a routine of beach mornings, then to the pool and then my youngest could take a nap while the other two and I did other things. 1/2 mile from the house is a nice supermercado that you can source most of your provisions from, it is rural CR so don't expect everything you can get in the states. We asked Jackie, the resident care taker to do some cooking for us and she didn't disappoint, she is very talented and her plantain tostadas were awesome. I helped her cook a meal to observe her technique and I'm pretty sure I blew her mind with my willingness to do so, she explained to me that Tico's don't cook. My whole family thought her chicken meal was the best, it involved Coconut milk and Litzano Salsa but I don't know the rest as I was packing that night, I hope to get an idea of what was in it from Judi. Basically you buy the food and Jackie cooks it for you. We flew from XNA to SJO then on Sansa aboard a Caravan to Golfito and then rented a car. We arranged National to drop the car at the airport with Alexander and he did great. We had Enrique organize a fishing trip for us and we also set up a jungle tour at Tiskita with Mario that was great--all Judi's recommendations. When we return we would like to get some surf lessons and do a horseback ride. Thank you Judi and Steve for sharing your wonderful home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Judi Hertzog

My husband and I developed this property for our family in 2006. We fell in love with Costa Rica on our honeymoon and have made it our home away from home. We are in our 60"s and both surf and paddle board. We also enjoy golf, so we put in a "3" hole golf course to add to the uniqueness of this property.We have decided to start renting it so others can share this special location as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

We love the warm tropical weather, and the secluded location. We both love to surf and found this area perfect for us.

What makes this property unique

This is a very unique spot. A small private resort on the beach that is perfect if you are very active or if you just like to curl up with a book. Words can't describe the beauty and wonder of this place.
