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Great layout and location, bedding a little outdated but house and pool setup is well represented and great for entertaining.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