Our family's first time to Costa Rica. We loved this home and the location. Beach is short drive away if you want to swim. Can not say enough wonderful things about the caretaker- Sonja. Excellent cook and lovely person.

We traveled down for a business meeting and got away to this house at the beach for a few days. Lovely! I wish the beach was a little easier to access- its a short hike. Driving from the main city was an adventure :) Thank you we loved it!

We stayed for 3 weeks with our family in this beautiful house. The house was well equipped and the daily maid service along with daily chef was absolutely amazing and made this a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation for all of us.

Beautiful property and very well taken care of! It was a special trip that we will remember forever!

The prior reviews gave good insight. Great coastal view and Playa Carillo is a 5 minute drive. We made a trip to the beach every morning with the kids to start the day, home to Zonia's amazing and gorgeous breakfast and then right to the pool. We basically lived on the terrace for the week but appreciated the air conditioned rooms at night. Sonia made several dinners for us and all were delicious! We appreciated Zonia, Roidi and Alessandra who all made us feel welcome with their hospitality. The owners checked in with us and all went smoothly. Thanks for a memorable family vacation! This villa worked perfectly for all 7 of us.

The house was beautiful. Clean. Open spaces. Amazing service and care from the woman who lives there. She made the best dinner we had during our entire trip. If I had to do it over I may pay her to cook 4 out of 5 nights! The view was perfect. The last day we had 7 howler monkeys in the trees!! Our college and high school age kids were so excited. The owners hired a concierge to help us book adventures and dinners. This was a HUGE help. He was kind and attentive. We walked down to the water from the house which was a bit of a hike but SO worth it. Gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this house and all the wonderful people and views that went with it.

This VRBO rental is exactly as described in the listing and pictures and actually more beautiful in person. The accommodations were perfect for a group of 10. The grounds were kept in great condition, the house staff was friendly and timely with daily cleaning and food service. The chef prepared meals were served on-time, hot and very delicious. The location is perfect for having a private exercise or yoga session outside overlooking the beach. The pool was refreshing and much needed to cool down in the heat. The house is located close to Samara where we enjoyed bars/restaurants and the beach. The concierge service was very responsive to all of our requests and did an exceptional job coordinated our car service, jungle ATV tour, day tour in Rincon and more! This house and the service is 5 stars!!!

While my family and I did have a wonderful week at this property, there are definitely some things that I feel should be mentioned. To be clear the only air-conditioned spaces in this property are the bedrooms. The main house is not air-conditioned. The house also has a bit of an odd layout as there is only one small bedroom located downstairs that also doubles as a TV room. There is only 1 tv located in the entire home and it is in this room. If you have anybody that cannot do a big staircase, they are restricted to the downstairs level. All the bedrooms are big and spacious and air-conditioned. The main house is not which makes it quite hot. Every time it rains, the electricity in the house goes out for a period of time. Since this house is somewhat operated on Solar it is hard to tell if the issue is actually the weather or the home. Sonia, the housekeeper who lives downstairs is very nice. You will see her periodically throughout your stay as well as different people that come and go on the property. As I mentioned, the house itself is beautiful with lots of space for everybody to enjoy. The infinity pool is fantastic with great views of the ocean. There are quite a lot of bugs that you have to deal with throughout your stay as the only way to get any form of airflow downstairs is to open the screen doors, many of which have holes in the screens. The property is located at the end of a very long, unpaved road so I would definitely suggest having a four-wheel-drive car.
