Every aspect of our stay was beyond our expectations! This setting provided the perfect spot for my family, including children and grandchildren, to relax, and enjoy quality time together. There was space to be together as well as space to be quiet with privacy. This clean and comfortable home is an incredibly well appointed space that provided everything we needed. The location is also ideal! A beautiful beach, and sunset views were fantastic. An added benefit was accessibility to shopping and fun activities. The property manager was extremely helpful and responded to any questions we had immediately! I am very grateful for her support during our stay! As we left my family wanted to know when we can return!

Our stay at Casa Caracola was by far the best family vacation we have ever had! The location is perfect (1.5 hours from San Jose airport), a few feet from the most stunning private beach, and a short (15-20 min) drive to Playa Herdura and Jaco for restaurants, surfing, and tours. The house was as advertised and better, clean, spacious, breathtaking views, comfortable beds, huge bathrooms. The open veranda and layout made us feel like we were in our own private hotel. But what made this trip the most memorable was having Olga be part of our stay. She was absolutely incredible! Purchased all our groceries, cooked dinners for us, and breakfast on a few occasions, and did all the cleaning after. We would spend all day on the beach, watch the sunset and then walk up to fresh pinacoladas and hot empanadas being set on the table. She even made my 1 year old son special dinners like pasta or fries in case he didn’t like the food. She made traditional Costa Rican meals one night and gave us our own private cooking lesson, answering all our questions and letting us participate in the preparation of the meal. She was such a sweet and comforting presence during our stay, always available to answer questions or help clean up, even folding our laundry and changing our sheets! We were planning on having her cook only a few meals for us but after eating out once we quickly realized her cooking was far better than any restaurant and ended up having her cook every meal for the rest of the trip! Anna was quick to respond to any questions and made the booking process smooth and easy. We had 9 adults and 1 infant and the place had more than enough space for everyone. If you are on the fence about this location let me put you at ease that it is well worth the price. But only if you have Olga make you tacos and empanadas! We miss her already!

Very comfortable house with amazing views in exclusive beach near San José. I have lived in San José for 20 years and this location is still the best beach near the capital.

We had a wonderful time! The property is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. We felt very safe staying in the lovely gated community. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the private beach is amazing. Anna and Olga were very helpful and kind, we will be back!

Selected this property as it had no negative reviews and it turned out even better. It is a very beautiful, luxurious home with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and hear soothing sound of the ocean waves. The property is located in a gated affluent community (near Los Suenos Marriot Resort, near Jaco) with very tight security and near a clean private beach- only about 3to 4 minute walk. Well designed home with two main levels- 4 bedrooms, fully furnished, each with full bath with shower- on lower level and upper level has large furnished comfortable living room, fully furnished kitchen and open large varanda/patio with comfortable sofas, chairs etc and a large dining table. Third level is rooftop/open terrace with sofas from where one can also have a get together and watch amazing sunsets. Separate strong WIFI connections for both main levels. The owners and the housekeeper, Olga were very helpful in every way. We even hired Olga to cook evening dinners and she came thru great. She bought groceries, cook and clean which we loved. Reading past reviews gave us a good guide as to what we needed. We strongly recommend this property anytime. Thank you Anna and Olga for making our vacation enjoyable.

Beautiful home up on the slope from the private beach. 100 yard walk to the beach.

Amazing property in a beautiful area in Costa Rica. Olga the cook was fantastic, the beach was also top notch

Beautiful property, like staying in a tree house overlooking the most beautiful private beach. Highly recommend

We loved our stay here! The house, the location, the experience - it was all 100! The property has just the right blend of breathtaking ocean views and coastal living, modern amenities, and access to great adventures and food with just a short drive. Would definitely recommend this property.

Property is amazing and Anna was extremely accommodating and helpful. Property has access to everything that you could want to do or see in CR.

Amazing beach house! Absolutely gorgeous views!! Stunning sunset! Beautiful peaceful beach!! The villa was spotless and extremely comfortable and well equipped. Anna was a great host. Very kind and accommodating to say the least. Olga I must add was also fabulous. Not only did she do a little laundry for us she was a fabulous cook too. A pleasure to meet. We loved every bit of our stay and would highly recommend Casa Caracola. We will definitely be back!

Casa Caracola villa is absolutely stunning! The villa and amenities exceeded our expectations and was perfect for making Christmas memories with our family. The villa is exceptionally clean, luxurious, and the location is world class. Anna and her husband were very responsive to any questions we had which we really appreciated. The pictures of the villa and beach are beautiful but, when we actually saw it in person it was breathtaking! We loved everything about it and I think our favorite part was the gorgeous beach and the rooftop lounge - we had a mandatory cocktail hour every night to watch the sunset or look at the stars. My family and I have been to many locations in Costa Rica staying in five star beach resorts - one being the Los Suenos Marriott but, the private beach in Playa Escondida that is literally steps away from the villa is truly paradise! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you again for everything!

Overall, solid experience. My only comment is to consider sealing all the doors on the property to prevent any bugs from entering the house + bedrooms.

We loved Casa Caracola! Located on a private beach near Los Sueños Rrsort. Perfect for couples or families and equipped with great amenities. The sunsets were gorgeous and we also loved the layout and beach access. I will definitely be back for another stay in paradise!

Traveling with young children internationally always causes added stress to planning a vacation and the single most important thing for me was finding lodging to make them comfortable so that we could relax too! This home was perfect! To begin, the homeowner met us at the rental car office to escort us to Herradura and see that we would be comfortable. It blew me away--her willingness to accommodate us! The house is absolutely beautiful, and yet, not so "stuffy" that we were afraid to feel at ease. The design of the house allows maximum relaxation with sleeping quarters separated from living spaces. Perfect for putting kids (and tired grown-ups) to bed without shutting the party down! It was nicely situated to the beach and the community pools. The kitchen and dining areas are great for eating in as a family. The owners were so helpful in aiding us with internet connections, offering tourist advice and making themselves available to answer questions. The maid service was extraordinary, and the security guards did a fantastic job for us. We left dreaming about how to get back to Costa Rica, to Herradura, and this home as soon as possible! Many thanks for extending such wonderful hospitality!

We recently spent five precious days with three other couples at this gorgeous home. Our mornings and evenings were spent relaxing on the porch overlooking the water, admiring red Macaws flying by, watching sunsets, cooking breakfast , and listening to the waves and the birds.. Steps from the beach, we would amble down for a walk or take a dip in the pool. The home is spotless, tastefully decorated, well located and everything one could ask for. The owner is delightful and considerate. What a way to vacation!

This is a wonderful holiday spot. The villa is about a two hour drive from the international airport on a somewhat challenging mountain road with beautiful views of the country. The villa is approximately 15 minutes from Jaco and there is an excellent grocery store ten minutes away.There are many restaurants in the vicinity. The villa itself is beautiful -very spacious (lots of room for six adults) and well equipped. The beach is ideal -clean, with lovely sand. Perfect for swimming and even surfing but not a snorkelers' destination . There are wonderful nature reserves with fabulous birds and reptiles including crocodiles. Having a car is essential. There is no internet or international cellular connectivity from the villa although thjere is a landline telephone available. The owners are exceptionally kind and helpful.
