A property that lives up to and exceeds every feature, comfort and amenity. We will be back at first opportunity. While situated up the hill from the main coast road, it remains in walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, even a lovely waterfall. The birds wake us every morning, the howlers do their thing whenever they want, and we did too. From midnight swims in the large pool between the house and the rancho, to work from home on the delightful patio in the dark at a cool 4:00 am with no bug bites (a little Off is handy for about a half hour at dawn and again at sunset), to local beaches, we had all the free time and activity we wanted and spent most of it enjoying this beautiful home and our stay. The owners are delightful and Kenny the house manager an instant "buddy" we could count on for anything. I wouldn't change a thing in the furnishings, and everything worked, including the boogie boards. We met two of the neighbors and they too were gracious and great sources of local information. The wifi at the house and throughout the property is backed up with a power supply that saw me through quite a few momentary power outages without blinking. This place is a keeper. We'll be back.

The house and grounds were very nice. We thought the beds were awesome. Most of our time at the house was spent under the pavilion and in the pool. All the areas were supplied well with dishes, utensils and glassware. The property manager communicated well with us and was prompt. We did lose water one night and we notified him and he took care of it promptly. The bedrooms are the only areas that are air conditioned so the kitchen area and living room were too warm to spend a whole lot of time in. However, most of our time was spent outside by the pool, visiting the beaches, going to waterfalls, or out to eat rather than indoors. The house was convenient to get groceries, travel to the beach, visit restaurants, etc.

Very nice property with large lot. Room to spread out with additional small house with private bathroom and shower. Pool was amazing with outdoor shower and a lot of space to hang chill outside. Very quit and peaceful property. Only complaint is how hot the kitchen and living area get. Our family had to either use the pool to cool down or hang out in a back bedroom that had AC. Also the lighting in the main room is poor. If AC were added to the main living area and lighting was improved I would give this a 10/10. would definitely stay here again.

My little family stayed in this gem for 3 weeks this past July, and it was fantastic. The grounds are gorgeous, the pool refreshing, and the house extremely spacious. The property manager, Kenny, was very attentive to all of our questions and needs, and his crew kept the pool and garden well tended throughout our stay. The house is located in a nice neighborhood, and has a little supermarket a short drive away as well as several restaurants. There is a ton of wildlife, particularly tons of birds that frequent the property. A bird watchers paradise, for sure!

Nice location and close to just about everything one would need. Walk to the Gatos Loco restaurant or the bakery next door. Yard and pool are fantastic. Indoor might be a little dated but perfectly fine and clean. WIFI worked fine. Well stocked kitchen. There is a lot of construction going on in the area, and we had a lot of noise a couple of mornings at 7:00am next door lasting all morning. Otherwise very quiet. When you book any home in the area ask if there is a construction project going on next door. The owner may be totally unaware so certainly not their fault. Bedrooms had AC, and it would be nice if the whole house had AC because it was very hot when we were there in March. Good thing there were ceiling fans and a pool. Would book here again.

After having stayed in a home without air conditioning earlier last month, Smber’shome was a welcome respite. Cool bedrooms for comfortable sleeping, huge, fully equipped kitchen, two incredible outdoor seating areas, birds and vegetation that was grand, etc. The pool was wonderful and Kenny, our host, went above and beyond in order to supply us with necessary things. Because we are Senior Citizens, he even had a handrail installed for ease in getting down the steps and into the pool! In our 14 visits to Costa Rica, many of these safety features are not available. Thank you Amber and Kenny for making our vacay superb!

Ken was easy to work with, and offered great local suggestions to eat. The house, pool and grounds were perfect and exceeded our expectations.

My wife and I, alongside our travel companions ( 3 kids and 4 adults) stayed in this wonderful villa for two weeks. From the outset, the communication with Amber the owner was excellent. We had a change of plans prior to our travel dates, as one of the couples decided to bring their two children along and Amber was very helpful in helping us accommodate them as well. The house was laid out very well with all the necessary items and the house was clean and welcoming. The outdoor area, (pool/rancho) by far the best part of the house, was large enough to facilitate a large gathering and provided more than enough room for the adults and the kids to coexist outdoors. We had visits from toucans as well as scarlett macaws, a few cattle at the fence line of a nearby farm and the sounds of howler monkeys replacing the need for alarm clocks in the morning. My wife and I stayed in the onsite cabina, at the back of the property. It is a simple studio with a kitchenette and bathroom but very suitable for a couple wanting some privacy away from the main home. The local manager Kenny was always available to answer any questions and was a pleasure to deal with. The house was walking distance to the bakery ( La Panaderia Frances) as well as Los Gatos Locos ( nice bar/restaraunt with an extensive menu and live music). The grocery store ( Super Juculoa) was only about a 5 minute drive form the rental. Overall, this house was perfect for our large group and offered everything we were looking for. Highly recommend it to those with a larger group, looking for a luxurious outdoor space and a clean, well stocked home capable of pleasing the masses. it is a wonderful home base from which to travel up and down the pacific coast to a variety of wonderful beaches and beach towns. It was a wonderful reprieve from the concrete jungle, to the real jungle on the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Enjoyed thoroughly by all! Gracias a Amber and Kenny. Hasta pronto. Pura Vida, Gord and Rebecca.
