We got back from Casa Celeste 2 weeks ago and it's been on my mind ever since. Our stay was amazing and so is Vicente!! Vicente made our stay truly special, something we will never forget. The home is beautiful and comfortable, has everything you need. The scenery is beautiful it feels so secluded, though everything (i.e. restaurants, stores) is nearby. We rented ATVs for the time there and got around the village just fine. I would absolutely recommend Casa Celeste if you'll be traveling to Mal Pais!!!

We came across this house while eating breakfast down the street debating our next move for the trip. Diana got back to me immediately and 3 hours later we were lounging in the hammocks situated right on the beach in front of the house. Vicente was extremely helpful and most importantly, a great guy. This house was everything we needed for an amazing week!

Our family of 5 ended our Costa Rican vacation at Diana's and Ran's Casa Celeste from July 2nd to July 5th. We arrived from Monteverde by 4WD through at-times torturous roads and we found paradise! We could not have picked a more heavenly setting after a two week adventure trek through Costa Rica! The property is beautiful, the ocean views are gorgeous, the house is spacious, well-equipped and clean and Vincente the care-taker is a wonderful, heartwarming gentleman...We will always remember his hospitality. A family of howler monkeys greeted us every morning and evening, wild horses grazed by the ocean, iguanas scampered across the front lawn, geckos ate supper with us, millions of tiny crabs descended upon the beaches in the evenings, tropical squirrels fought over coconuts! What more can you ask for! We walked along the shore from the house to the beach of Mal Pais and all the way to playa Santa Teresa, where we enjoyed a full day swimming and playing in the surf. Best waves ever according to the kids! Vincente set us up for surfing classes at Playa Carmen with Luna and Edite. We had a blast! The town of Santa Teresa is a gem! It was a perfect setting for our last days in Costa Rica. Enjoying the beaches, listening to the ocean surf, watching the surfers and the amazing sunsets from the outdoor patio...Thank you Vincente for the coconut water, the conversations and stories, the fire by the beach...all things that made our holidays so special. Pura Vida!
