Paradise!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this house and location. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious; even better than the photos. It is so well stocked with anything you could possibly want or need…kitchen has EVERYTHING!!! There are games galore, 8 yoga mats (we did several “classes” on the patio by the pool which was amazing). The bathroom off the kitchen has bug spray, after sun lotion, bandaids, etc. Pool has two outside showers. We loved the location. Playa Negra is beautiful and feels secluded and remote, yet a 5 minute stroll down the beach takes you to Playa Negra hotel/restaurant where you can grab a drink or ceviche appetizer. There are some mini markets close to the house, but the main shopping for produce and meats happens 30 minutes away in Tamarindo. There’s an amazing open air produce stand before you get to Tamarindo where you can stock up on beans, rice, tortillas, and all fruits and veggies. Mary was very responsive and helpful with any of our questions or needs. Lola’s in Avellanas for lunch is a must! You can rent beach chairs for $10 and enjoy all day. Drinks and food there aren’t cheap, but worth the splurge for a day. Our kids did surf lessons with the surf school there twice and loved it. This house has the most amazing views and sunsets of anywhere we’ve ever stayed. Waking up to that view every morning and hearing the waves all day and night was so relaxing and refreshing. We were very sad to leave and hope to return someday!

Exceeded our expectations! Beautiful home with spectacular views of the ocean.

There were 10 us, four children and six adults. The home is spacious with more than enough room. It was a great place to just relax with a good book, or take in all the activities that Costa Rica has to offer. Surfing, swimming, buggy boarding, zip lining, it's all available. We would love to return someday.

Casa Ohana is a dream!

If I could have a dream house, this would be it. Light, bright, airy. Plenty of room for our family of 10 to have space yet be all together, as well. Extremely well stocked in kitchen as well as games, towels, etc. Beds were comfortable and sofas were great for napping. Note: only the bedrooms have a/c and it was very buggy but you are in the tropics! Playa Negra is a great place to spend a week at the beach in Costa Rica. Mary is a hands on property manager and ready to help with any of your needs. We hope to return again, truly a beautiful place.

Christmas 2022

Our family of four decided on a Christmas getaway to Costa Rica for the first time. We were so fortunate to find Casa Ohana and Mary. First - Mary is the best host! She planned our ground transportation, rental car delivery to house as well as other activities and even a masseuse who came to the home and was so nice and great. She put us in touch with Jennifer at La Ventana who catered a couple of delicious meals delivered right at dinner to the house. Casa Ohana is purely spectacular. From the sunrise to sunset, it never disappointed. Space was more than twice our group would ever need. Kitchen well stocked with all appliances, pots as well as many sauces and spices for everything. Loved the pool! Ping pong was a blast and of course the beach. Would see wildlife right in back yard and a pod (???) of monkeys woke us up one night running atop the roof. Very cool.The house is secluded but still close by to some restaurants (Piko Brazil is awesome) and small stores. Our driver from airport suggested to stop at larger market closer to Liberia which was surprising but so helpful. Can see how Casa Ohana gets 5 stars! Thanks for a great vacation

About the host

Hosted by Mary Dierkes

Why they chose this property

We stumbled upon this point of land overlooking one of Costa Rica's best surf breaks and decided to build a family beach house on that very spot. The ocean views are 200 degrees, the surf pounding on volcanic shores, a short walk to great swimming, surfing in 85-degree water, endless sunshine, fish jumping, pelicans, shorebirds, mermaid pools, whale-watching, lush landscapes abound.

What makes this property unique

Off-the-beaten path solemnity of rural Costa Rica; the beauty and power of the ocean, the lushness of the tropical lowland landscape, the dynamic ebb and flow of the Playa Negra beach, the volcanic land, the generous and warm and lively spirit of the Costa Rican people, the dozens of different surf breaks within a walk or a drive, the fish, the food, the yoga, the beer, and a great group of neighbors, locals, ex-pats, and others.
