What an amazing property. If you are looking for a less touristy trip to Costa Rica with enough amenities to make it comfortable this is your spot. It was amazing waking up to the sounds of the jungle every morning and being a 5 minute drive from the ocean. Jennifer was extremely accommodating the whole time and we had an amazing trip.

We were in a group of 13, 8 adults and 5 children ( age between 6m - 13y . The house was excellent for spend time together, good neighborhood for the children explorer, monkeys and couple reptiles. I definitely would go back for a remake.

We loved our privacy and easy accessibility to great eating and great surfing. We loved the area and the slow pace of the community. Great beaches and great place to walk or drive. The home had all that we needed. Thanks Jennifer for a great week.

We were a family of 4 adults and 2 kids (6yo and 9yo). The house was very spacious and comfortable (it can host bigger groups than ours). Jennifer was super responsive and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. An SUV is definitely needed to reach the house (bumpy road, even for Costarican standards). The beach close by (less than 5 minutes driving) is one of the best in Costa Rica and is very well organized (easy parking, nice restaurants, lounge chairs for hire).

Jennifer was helpful in every way. She gave us many suggestions that enhanced our stay! Maria came to the house and cooked delicious meals for us. Hire her. She was fantastic. We loved the private pool. The beach was so much fun. We had perfect snorkeling and surfing and swimming and shelling all in Avallanas Beach near the home. The roads were the biggest challenge. Dusty and rugged. We loved our stay in this beautiful home.

Jennifer is amazing and so is her property. We flew into Liberia and she helped us coordinate transportation, with Christian at SeaStars SurfCamp (highly recommend), and the pickup was flawless. Their team was awesome, insightful and even helped us with groceries on the way to Jennifers place. The property is about an hour and a half from the airport and looks exactly like the photos on here. Check in was easy and Jennifer was easily accessible by text, even though she was not in Costa Rica at this time. The first morning we realized the coffee maker was not working properly, I texted Jennifer, and it was replaced within hours. This is how good of a host she is. She made some great recommendations on places to visit, things to do and restaurants to eat at. We spent our mornings at the Playa Avellanas beach, which is about a 15 minute walk, and afternoons around the pool. It was amazing seeing wildlife this close (monkeys, birds, iguanas, etc.) I highly recommend getting Anna in to cook for you. Her meals were amazing and very affordable. If not check out Lola's, Il Rustico or Blu. All great places to eat. Also, there is bread deliver on Tuesdays and Fridays (I think), that I would definitely take advantage of. In all, my entire family (8 adults, 4 children), thoroughly enjoyed their time here. The property is amazing and Jennifer is a phenomenal host. Not only was she helpful during our stay, she was extremely helpful in the months leading up to our stay. Book this property while you have a chance.

We stayed in this gorgeous home with two families with little kids. The house is the perfect size for a large group with kids, complete with air conditioning in the bedrooms. Having a big pool was so fun for the kids we barely needed to leave. Monkeys cruise through the tree tops every day and iguanas roaming around kept it all very exciting for the kids. The house is also only a few mins drive or 10 mins walk to the beach and the famous Lola's Restaurant. Jennifer is also a a lovely host and super responsive. She also helped arrange a cook and cleaner to come to the house each day which made our trip all the more relaxing. We will be back as soon possible!

The property was very nice. Jeniffer was a always in contact with us, asking if we were ok. If you get there you can have the luck to see monkeys in front of the pool. Or you can see momotidae birds every morning. Beaches were a few minutes of distance. Yo can get to Avellanas, Playa negra and Junquillal. If you want to go out at night in 30 minutes you can go to Tamarindo beach.

House may be slightly difficult to find but once you do you will be stoked. It’s spacious clean and relatively secluded. The only issues we encountered was that the refrigerator really struggles to keep food/beer cold but this was mentioned to the owner and should hopefully be fixed soon. The best part about this house is Anna who cooked incredible dinners and cleaned the place each day. She is a gem .

Our family of 8 stayed at this property for 9 nights and enjoyed it very much. Some general comments and information. 1. The house is exactly 1 mile from the beach down a dirt road so you can walk it in 15-20 minutes or drive it in about 4 minutes. The beach is uncrowded and has great waves. 2. The bedrooms all have air conditioning while the main floor has ceiling fans. It was very hot during our time there (mid 90sF). Even so with the ceiling fans running and the windows and doors open the heat was never oppressive though some floor or table top fans would be an appreciated addition. We did run the A/C every night in our BRs. 3. The pool is very nice and stays at a comfortable temperature. As mentioned by other reviewers there is a constant battle to keep leaves out of the pool. I never minded skimming the pool but it is just something to realize that you will need to contend with. Also the owner had someone come by to clean the pool and monitor the chlorine but even more visits would be helpful to maintain the pool in optimal condition. Regardless it was never a big issue for us and we enjoyed it immensely. 4. The house has a small zipline. It is very basic but still lots of fun for the kids. The platform you start from though is a bit rickety so just be careful on it. 5. The roads in this area of Costa Rica are gravel with lots of washboard areas and can be aggravating. In trade for that aggravation though there is much less congestion. While we would have like to have better roads for our family it was a worthwhile trade to stay out of the craziness of Tamarindo. 6. The owner Jennifer is wonderful. She is always willing to help and offer guidance. She recommended a horseback ride (Guti tours which I highly recommend), zip lines (Pura Aventura which I also highly recommend) and other attractions. She is always willing to help you in any way. 7. We also hired Ana (per Jennifer's recommendation) to cook and clean for us several days. She is friendly and only charges around $4.15/hr (though we always paid her more because she did great). She only speaks Spanish but with my limited Spanish and Google translate we got by. She was willing to walk to the house but we always gave her a ride. In the end, there are a few improvements that the owner could make to make the home even better (which I will email her) but we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home and would high recommend it to others. Pura Vida!

Pool was great and very well used. The large shaded area by the pool was perfect. The living area of the house is open and worked well for all of us. The downstairs bedroom stayed cooler as did the one with twin beds upstairs. The master bedroom is spacious and very comfortable. The air conditioner in one of the smaller bedrooms did not work well and so that room was not used. The shower in the common upstairs bathroom was very low but the other two were good. Jennifer and Marcel were great about filling the few requests we had and we enjoyed meeting them. We had a very good holiday at the home.
