Maria was an excellent host very easy to contact and very helpful with several things I was trying to accomplish on this trip. The house and grounds were fabulous and the onsite caretakers were incredible and always available to assist with anything we needed. They did this all without being intrusive. The pool has to be one of the largest in the area. It was my favorite amenity.

This house was so beautiful with wide open spaces downstairs. The kitchen was easy to navigate and had what we needed to make a quick breakfast. Outside was a refreshing pool and the grounds were stunning. The massive beach was only a few meters away and the sunsets were breathtaking. Communication with the host was easy and Lucy was absolutely delightful!

We loved our stay at Mar a Lago! The house was beautiful and located right on the beach! But the highlight of our stay was Lucy and Luis who took such good care to make sure we felt at home. Lucy was the best cook so make sure you have her cook as often as you can! And tell them we said hello :) A must stay!

Costa Rica Beach House

Our family of 5 stayed a week at this beach house and we loved it! We had so much privacy and were the only people on the beach. It is definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive! Lucy was an amazing host and made us feel very comfortable.

Family Vacation

My husband, I and our 4 kids (3 teenagers and 1 college age) stayed here for a week and loved it! We liked that it is out of the city, we loved being able to go back and forth from the ocean to the pool, and the property is very well maintained!!

Fantastic property! Luis and Lucy, the caretakers were amazing people and helped us feel at home. This home is in a quaint town in between Jacó and Quepos and you do have to drive down a dirt beach road for 15 minutes to get there. The beach is pristine, Luis keeps the property perfect, monkeys walk through every night and morning and fresh coconuts, limes and yuca grow in the yard. Beds, a/c and kitchen all function well. Great for cooking and spending days there. Lucy helped us coordinate a horse riding experience that came to the house and get our friends from the airport midweek. Lucy also will cook for you for additional money and Luis got us many coconuts from the tree to keep us hydrated. You can walk straight out to the beach. It is very remote or you can lay in hammocks and see the the ocean from the yard. Our kids are 10 and 8 and I felt very safe. The ocean does have rip currents - so keep yourself and little ones in shallow water except for high tide. We saw monkeys, macaws, many types of birds, devil rays (not dangerous), toads, and a few loving dogs looking for snacks. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at this beachfront property! The house is exactly as described – spacious, clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing getaway. Having direct access to the beach was incredible. We enjoyed our walks along the shore and afternoons lounging by the private pool.The location is peaceful and quiet, with plenty of privacy. One of the highlights was the natural surroundings – we regularly saw monkeys in the trees and heard birds all around. It really felt like a private paradise.It’s also a great home base for exploring the area. We took easy day trips to Manuel Antonio, waterfalls, and other local attractions, and always looked forward to returning to this calm, beautiful retreat.Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled escape with easy access to some of Costa Rica’s best sights. We would definitely stay here again!

Private and perfect beach stay!

This home is perfect for those who want to have a private getaway. Off the beaten path…literally off dirt road, but once there you will have all the amenities in this gorgeous, sprawling home. On the beach with large pool. Lucy & Luis make the stay comfortable and informative. Coconut drinks in the morning, pointing out monkeys and birds on property and making a traditional Costa Rican dinner upon request. Couldn’t be happier with our stay and highly recommend this property!

We really enjoyed staying at this location. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but that is also part of its charm. The house was very clean and comfortable. Luci and Luis are the property's caretakers and they are wonderful. They know just how to be warm and welcoming while still allowing you your privacy.

But for a change also is close enough to Jaco or Manuel Antonion.
