We spent 10 days at this great house. My family included my 82 year old mother who wanted to stay forever! Emily was a great host. Very responsive when we had questions. We were delayed on our arrival due to traffic but there was no problem with Liliam (the house caretaker) meeting us late. Liliam was super friendly and even made us fresh juice and brought over coffee. The house was perfect for our family. The beautiful beach was close and the little town nearby was charming. The location was perfect to go north to Jaco or south to Manuel Antonio National Park. Lots of other stuff to do nearby as well! Emily also recommended masseuses that came to the house! We greatly enjoyed our trip and the house was a big part of our enjoyment.

This was a great location in Esterillos Oeste. There were six of us on a surf trip and the price worked out to be very inexpensive per person. The location is on the beach and on a dead end road so no traffic and very quiet. Emily was easy to work with from the start (I kept changing dates based on my guys’ schedules) and responded quickly. Caretaker Lillian lives right behind the house and she made sure everything was good to go. Esterillos Oeste is not the typical coastal tourist town in Costa Rica which was a great relief to us. Quiet with friendly locals. I do recommend brushing up on your Spanish as this is a real village and not a touristy place. Again, what a nice change from some of our other spots. I do recommend having a car as there are plenty of restaurants and shops, etc in Jaco and Esterillos Este which are a fairly short drive in either direction.

This was one of the best experiences of my life and it was definitely the best experience of my daughter and her best friend's life. Lilliam the caretaker is the mother you wish you had. She did everything without asking she made us food that was wonderful and she was very kind and sweet.The house itself is a beach house so be prepared for that and embrace the experience. Its a perfect beach that is basically private. Very sweet local dogs that play in the ocean with you. It's a true cultural experience I would give it 10 Stars if I could?

Esterillos beach

The location is excellent. Esterillos beach is spectacular! Lilliam the caretaker was sweet and very helpful. If you need help getting around, surfing or expeditions you should reach out to Jorge and his wife who own Aloha Surf and are also the caretakers of the turtle sanctuary!

Lovely stay at the beach

Great location and its proximity to the beach couldn't be better. Emily, the host, and Liliam, the caretaker, couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. My only regret is that we left our portable bluetooth speaker at home!

If you are looking for a vacation, this is the spot. You have miles of coastline almost to yourself and boogie boards, flippers, towels, chairs and beach toys all provided. The locals are friendly - we did surf lessons and a turtle release with Jorge from Aloha Surf (right on the entrance road). The housekeeper is wonderful - she hung hammocks daily, provided us with coconuts to drink and made dinner for us one evening (for a resonance fee). Each bedroom has an AC unit too.

Wonderful Location

It is impossible to find a better location. The house is right across a gravel road from a beach that spans for miles. Sunsets can be seen from the palm trees.

This house is in an amazing location. Emily is GREAT to work with. I don’t recall if the listing says AC in entire house or just bedrooms but the AC unit downstairs didn’t work so there were box fans that helped but coming from a coldClimate to the humidity, etc it was very hot in the kitchen. The bedrooms had great AC units that worked really well. That being said I would totally return to the house as is due to the location and proximity to the beach, great restaurants, surfing, etc. We traveled with our teen kids to primarily hang out on the beach and surf. We rented surf boards for the week from Aloha Surf nearby. Jorge was great! We could walk out the front door and be on the beach in 20 seconds and other than one other family a few houses down the beach was empty all week other than Sunday a few more locals showed up. The home has hammocks, outdoor chairs, boogie boards and beach toys. I would come back to this house with or without my kids in the future. Nearby restaurants (less than 1 mile) are great and Emily was very responsive via WhatsApp throughout our stay.

Incredible stay in paradise. We loved everything about it. Plenty of room. Air conditioning worked well. Lillian the care taker was around to help. She was a delight. Loved our mostly private beach. The pool was also nice. Lots of surprises made it special. Would recommend it and stay again.

Beach paradise!

All my family of 6 enjoyed this beautiful house with a lot of character. Beach was just steps away and the shade underneath the palms, on the grass, the best!! Our housekeeper was amazing, putting the hammocks and chairs for us and all other little things that make your stay one to remember. Emily, our host, was so easy to communicate with and so helpful with organization of our tours and transport. Thank you Emily, we will be back for sure!

Relaxing Costa Rica Stay

With AC in every bedroom, a fully stocked kitchen and lots of beach equipment, my family had lots of fun at Casa Sirena. Lilliam, the caretaker, set up hammocks by the beach and cleaned the pool daily. Emily, the owner, was incredibly helpful at recommending and booking fantastic excursions that we all enjoyed. As easy 1.5 hr drive from San Jose, the house was in a great location to explore the wonders of the Pacific coast. Pura Vida!

Paradise in Esterillos

This house is a beautiful spot on the beach. Highlights were the house caretaker who put out hammocks and a table and chairs every day for us on the beach. The fresh cerviche you can buy on the beach every day was the best! Also someone comes buy every day to buy fresh bread! This was my first time in Costa Rica and it was very warm every day. Thanks for sharing your piece of a beautiful oasis!

Paradise!

We had the best time at Casa Sirena! This was my 3rd and favorite time to Costa Rica. Emily was so easy to communicate with and made sure it was an unforgettable week for all of us. We went fishing with Javier, had traditional casada made in the house with the red snapper we caught and enjoyed every minute of our stay! We loved the hammocks on the beach, the swimming pool was the perfect size for our kids (ages 7-12). The beach is basically in the front yard and most days we had it completely to ourselves. We will always remember our stay at Casa Sirena!

The location was amazing because it is part of a very small community right on the a huge long beach with wild surf. There were times when you were the only ones on the beach in either direction. You got the sunrise and the sunset. There was a beautiful lush transition green space full of palms and birds. The caretaker and her son were very accommodating to put up and take down the hammocks when we were there to use them and they did many other helpful things in the warmest manner. Our group of six adults were very happy there.The neighborhood is very positive and interesting and it was an easy drive from SJ airport, to stores and restaurants locally and in Jaco and many other beautiful locations like Manuel Antonio. One of us even needed to use the Urgent Care in Esteriillo and Dr. Dan was amazing and totally took care of the problem . The owner did a great job of communicating all aspects of our stay there from the house to tours and great massages. My birthday and week could not have been better!

Beautiful

We had such an Amazing time! The beach was just a few steps away and we had it almost to ourselves. Emily and Lilliam were absolutely amazing to deal with. It was central to everything we needed. It was a dream vacation. Lilliam helped with set up on the beach which the house had everything we needed for that. She helped us with meals and laundry and fresh made juices and coconuts. Emily arranged for massages for us on the beach which were so relaxing. kids loved boogie boarding and surfing. Everyone was very friendly. I think my whole family would love to come back.
