About this house rental

Two houses, two pools, for a total of 5 Bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3.5 baths, 2 outdoor showers. Both homes are bright, clean and comfy, the second home was built in 2017. Main house is on the beach, has 3BR’s and 2 full baths, a half bath near pool, and an outdoor shower. Second home has second floor 2BR apartment, with one full bath, and outdoor shower by the fenced in pool. This is Costa Rica living at its best. Live among the locals, ex-patriots, surfers and tourists from all over the world in a quiet little rural town. Just a few steps to the pristine uncrowded beach, just a few blocks to the local grocery store, restaurants and bars in the town of Esterillos Oeste. Sit in or explore the tide pools at mid tide, and climb out to the famous Esterillos mermaid statue at low tide on the smooth volcanic reef behind the house. Listen for the flock of Scarlet Macaws that eat almonds regularly in the trees on the beach behind the house! If you come at the right time of year (May-ish), mangos are falling off the trees everywhere! In the mornings, wake up just before the sunrise, and listen to the chorus of birds, welcoming the new day. Take a walk on the secluded beach and watch the sun come up. In the evenings, watch the sunset on that same beach or take a leisurely walk to town and enjoy some of the great food, and drinks at our local establishments. Safe to walk around, day or night. On the weekends, catch a local band playing in the bars and restaurants, enjoy the local color and unique people that live, work and visit Esterillos.

This house is the perfect location, the surf is the best right out front of the house, right on the beach, this place is perfect for large groups, the town has a local vibe and great food, also close to more great food! There was construction going on at the time of our stay that created some early morning noise but once that is done there shouldn’t be any issues! 10/10 would recommend

We had a great stay at Casa Los Pelicanos. It was perfectly located on the beach, and we really enjoyed the layout of the whole house, pool, and outdoor kitchen. There was plenty of room for our whole group in the main house and the additional apartment. Lorenzo was quick to respond and help with the few issues that came up while we were there. And the mangoes that fell out of the tree constantly were so delicious!!!

We stayed with a group of 8 renting both the guest house & main house. The location on the water is spectacular.The kids loved the pool, but they only come clean it when you ask.We could walk to the mermaid statue, and it was an easy drive to Jaco to wonderful restaurants & shopping. Distance from the airport wasn't ideal, with construction traffic it took us several hours to find the house, but the location is worth the drive.Our stay was lovely, but a bit rocky at times.The locks need to be replaced, they were a problem the entire trip. We would call property management and they would come over and jiggle the lock and say that they worked just fine, but to our frustration, we never figured them out. The guest house had a leak in the washing machine & there was water everywhere our first day. The outdoor kitchen was great for our group, but the table, while fun to look at, was not conducive to play games as a group.The outdoor kitchen also seemed to be over run with carpenter ants. In the mornings we would find piles of sawdust on the counters next to the doors. The burners didn't all work on the stove which made cooking for a group tough. I also found it strange that we had to supply our own water, toilet paper & paper towels after we used the small supply that was left. The host, Nancy was helpful before our trip answering questions, but it seems that maybe the property management company isn't keeping the hosts up to date on the state of the property and needed TLC.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is just as described and the location is perfect! The property managers Christian and Lorenzo were amazing! They were incredibly responsive and helped us with coordinating excursions, renting surf boards as well as arranging dinner to be cooked at the property. We will definitely be back !

This was the perfect property for our extended family vacation. Our group of 12 included 4 kids, 3 Grand Parents, an Aunt and an Uncle. We were all very comfortable in the lodging and the proximity to the beach was amazing. We visited several other beaches in the area (Jaco, Playa Hermosa, Quepos) and everyone in our group agreed that our quiet little surfing beach was by far the best! If your looking for a place to stay away from the tourist crowds this is it. The property manager Christian Rojas was fantastic! He was very responsive the our entire trip (8 days) and helped to coordinate many of our activities and offered great suggestions. We also had Christian and his chef connection Nacho cook dinner for us one night at the house and it was hands down the best meal we had during the whole trip, what a treat! I can't say enough about the experience as a whole and the kids are already saying it was their favorite family vacation so far.

We enjoyed our stay so much. We wanted a quiet area, not touristy, with ocean access, restaurants and stores within walking distance, and we got exactly that! Our family and extended family enjoyed the pools, the hammocks, and the outdoor kitchen so much. The space was just what we wanted and having air conditioning inside was wonderful when we needed a break from the heat! We walked into town each night and had so many tasty dinners at the many local restaurants available. The local community was friendly and safe. The management company was responsive and accommodating and even helped us book a chef to come and cook the mahi mahi that we caught while deep sea fishing. If you are interested in trying authentic, local cuisine,I would highly recommend having the chef come in! It was amazing! We couldn't have had a better stay, and we all agreed that we would go back in a heartbeat!

Our second time to this peaceful, friendly, fishing village. We loved the location of the house and pools for watching and playing with the small kids. The beach and ocean so close we could build sand castles with the kids while the adults surfed within view, empty endless beaches with good surfing waves. The local restaurants had the best food, especially Los Almendros! They prepared the mahi mahi, for a discount per plate, that our group caught deep sea fishing. They went out with 2 local small boats and had a great experience out watching whales n dolphins while catching 12 mahi mahi. The kitchen was lacking a working coffee grinder but we used the blender for that and electric orange juicer didn’t work. The air conditioners worked well in the bedrooms. All around it was a great place to stay with our family,married kids and the grandkids!
