Perfecto para relajarse! Great place to estoy and relax.

Todas las estancias son muy amplias, el baño es enorme con ducha y bañera, el salón muy cómodo con ventanales que dan a la selva y el jardín, la cocina totalmente equipada y la terraza privada es genial. Todos los apartamentos tienen mucha privacidad porque están en lados opuestos. Lo usamos a mitad de viaje para estar más cómodos y repetimos el último día a la vuelta de Bahía Drake.
All rooms are very big, the bathroom is awesome with both shower and bathtub, the living room is very cosy with great views to the jungle and garden, kitchen and private veranda.
We’ve stayed in the middle of our trip to relax and be more comfortable and had repeated on our way back from Bay Drake to San José.

Almost a perfect stay.

Almost a perfect stay.

The location was perfect for us, with the exception of the noisy traffic during the day. We loved the “jungle” setting and listening to all the birds singing their tunes. The home had everything we required for a week stay. Highly recommended.

Nice condo in good location

Nice condo in good location

This is a nice place to stay, with monkeys passing by in trees. Nicely furnished, few cooking utensils if you want to eat in. My only complaint would be the property manager never returned any of the 3 calls we made to her and there are no towel racks to hang anything up to dry.

“Alojamiento muy bonito, es tal cual como se ve en las fotos, el alojamiento se encuentra en la naturaleza a pocos metros de la carretera que va hacia Uvita, que está a unos 4km. El alojamiento está bien equipado, con buena cama y buen cuarto de baño. Los sofás son un poco incómodos y viejos, deberían cambiarse. En la propiedad se dispone de secadora lavadora que siempre viene bien. Un sitio recomendable para venir en pareja”

“We stayed a week at Vacasa and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The unit was beautiful and spacious! The location is a short way out of town and has you on the edge of the jungle. It was so relaxing sitting on the spacious patio listening to the variety of birds. The location is perfect too with great places to explore all close by.”

Upscale Accomodation, Great Beaches

The suite was roomy, with comfortable couches, and a luxurious bathroom. The appliances, including dishwasher were modern and quite new. We enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony to have our meals. There is a restaurant (Leonoras?) just 100 metres down the highway, where if you have a meal, you can have free access through their property to beautiful Playa Ballena.

This was the best place we stayed in Costa. Feng shui, cool a/c, all around perfect set up.

This was the best place we stayed in Costa. Feng shui, cool a/c, all around perfect set up.

All the facilities were so nice. Big bathroom with high ceilings, nice tub, warm huge shower, comfortable bed and bedding, and everything is very open in the house with large windows and doors that open to the outside and finally the lighting in this place was done with intention. Kitchen is perfect, it has all the amenities for cooking and smoothie making. We felt right at home and loved this unit. The property is also nicely kept with beautiful manicured plants out front. Easy to get to and lots of parking space. Felt very safe the whole time. It's right off the road but yet surrounded by the jungle. We loved waking up to all the jungle chatter every morning... birds, monkeys, cicadas, and toads. All so special. Totally recomend this gem.

A great place to stay to get away with the whole family.

A great place to stay to get away with the whole family.

This review was submitted before the home was managed by Vacasa. This was my second stay in this house. We been coming up here for twenty years for fishing trips. You can’t beat being right on the water. If you are a fisherman. This spot is right above the ruby boat launch. You can easily throw up the international fisherman sign language for “ catch anything? “ from the hot tub on the back deck Plenty of parking. 3 bedrooms and a kitchen full of stuff to cook. Even a vacuum sealer for your catch! Not the most modern of places. But let’s face it your here so you got a place to land in between adventures. We all enjoyed it. Three generations of my family stayed with us. Has internet but no cable. So be tech savvy with your tv and have Netflix or such if you want to watch something. Only thing I would change is I wish it had some type of covered porch or awning. For the smokers or just trying to enjoy the river view outside on a rainy day. I just brought a pop up canopy this time and it resolved they need. It was nice to have a dry spot next to the hot tub to hang your towel and robes when it was raining.
