This very spacious house is super close to our favorite beach, Playa Negra, and we enjoyed many lovely beach days there. There are also some excellent restaurants within walking distance or a very short drive away.
I’ve been staying in rental homes for decades and the house manager here, Steve, is by far the best and most responsive house manager I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He’s more like a concierge, ready to help provide any adventure, activity or service you could want while in Costa Rica.
Thank you, Steve, for making our vacation a great experience!

We stayed for three months with a few friends and family visiting here and there. We are coming back next year! A great house for a family. Lots of beds, bedrooms have private bathrooms. Neighborhood is cute and friendly. Pool is great in the hot afternoons. The backyard space is really great, the landscaping is beautiful. Brian is very easy to work with. He answered questions quickly anytime we had them. The beach is an easy, short walk and Playa Negra is absolutely gorgeous.

My family and I had an absolutely awesome time during our vacation in Costa Rica at The Wave House! The house is exactly as advertised, and we especially enjoyed the pool and close proximity to the beach. Brian and Jake (Property Manager) were very professional and helpful and promptly answered any question or concern that we had. Brian even provided an extensive list of the many phenomenal restaurants that are all within walking or driving distance of the house.
We loved that we were not in a crowded tourist area, but there were enough fantastic restaurants and convenience stores nearby, that we didn't feel isolated either. The local community is very friendly and welcoming, as well.
The only minor issues that we had is that we didn't have any beach equipment, such as chairs or umbrellas, but Brian does provide beach towels, which did the job. Just a warning that the unpaved roads take some getting used to, but that is no fault of the host. Also, the bed in the master bedroom was a little too firm and noisy, but again, that's a minor issue.
Overall, we had one of our best family vacations in Costa Rica, and I highly recommend The Wave House if you want to truly experience the beauty and realness of Costa Rica, while staying in a spacious and inviting home.

Great layout and location, bedding a little outdated but house and pool setup is well represented and great for entertaining.

The house exceeded our expectations, spacious, and comfortable while preserving the experience with the area's fabulous natural (primitive) features: waking up to hauler monkeys and jungle birds, surrounded by tropical fauna and flora, and the sounds of the eternal crashing of the waves, the magnificent Pacific waves.

Brian’s house was amazing top to bottom. He was a gracious host answering all of our questions and giving us suggestions when needed. The house was clean, spacious and gave our group everything we asked for. Absolutely would stay here again. Had a great time in the pool, at the beach and enjoying everything the community had to offer. We will be back for sure!! Pura Vida!

We stayed at the Wave House for a month and found that it had everything we needed. Brian and the caretaker, Andrea, were very responsive to any issues we had. The house is exactly as described. We loved the pool, outdoor space, and huge kitchen for our large group. The location is pretty remote - which has pros (secluded, privacy, natural beauty) and cons (far from a big supermarket and other amenities). It is just a few minutes walk to Playa Negra, which is a beautiful beach and has great surfing but is not the best beach for swimming.
The only real issue we had during our stay was the wifi. It's fine if you're just on vacation, but I would not recommend for anyone who is trying to work remotely from this house as we were. However, Brian was helpful with troubleshooting and we ended up using the wifi from the nearby hotel Playa Negra when we had issues.

Everything was as advertised for this home... and worked for our multigenerational family of 8; although no fault of the wave house, our week was a bit too hot And a bit too windy to be the perfect vacation. Mary (property manager) was helpful throughout the entire process.

I was a little afraid this might be a resort-dominated area. It was not. Most folks on the beach were very friendly locals. There is a lot of undeveloped land in the vicinity with monkeys and birds. The property is well maintained. The kids loved the pool.
5.0
We had 13 of us in the house and everyone had a great time. The access to the beach was excellent. There were more beds than we needed. Any problems were quickly resolved. The pool was nice but we did not realize there were lights in the pool until the last night. Knowing there were 13 of us coming we needed more toilet paper in the bathrooms but I do not know if that is the owners responsibility or ours.
5.0
A five minute walk to beach in idyllic setting. Everything you need provided to relax with family. Each bed room had AC controlled en-suite. Pool was so nice to sit around and nap or swim after walking on beach. Perfect in many ways. Not luxury but very Pura Vida vibe.
We hired a caterer for meals most days avoiding taking a large 10 person party out to restaurants more than 2 times. (Used La Vantana by J Petrizzi— yummy. organic vegan options meant we could feed everyone with healthy food). The concierge Mary set up our ground transport, car rental and day excursions for surfing (Snapper Surf School w Gustavo and Pura Aventure zipliining).
She also stocked us with groceries for the week for a fee but was awesome avoiding to much time spent shopping.
Daily walks to witness the beautiful Pacific sunset is a must. Hope to be back soon.

The Wave House rocked! The house itself was huge and had tons of room for sleeping, eating and relaxing by a gorgeous pool! The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of space when we stayed in to cook! The black sand beach is only a 3 minute walk from the house and was perfect for surfing, relaxing and watching the most incredible sunsets! There were plenty of restaurants and other amenities nearby and the locals are some of the nicest people I've ever been around! We will make a trip back to the Wave House for sure!
