I second everything said in previous reviews about this home, it's peaceful location, and it's wonderful host. Steve has furnished the house with everything anyone could need. One time I thought I finally found something that was missing (a potato masher), but upon further searching found three! Steve lives in another unit on sight but is never obtrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with him when he did visit us and appreciated not one but two tours of the area as well as lunch at the Bougainville Hotel. My favorite part of the home is the lovely veranda furnished with Costa Rican leather rockers. I spent early mornings drinking coffee and listening and watching the birds. It was so peaceful. My husband and I also enjoyed playing ping pong on the veranda and playing pool. The internet which is now on fiber optic works perfect for anyone needing to work from home. If you just want a quiet place to stay with the best climate in the country, this is the spot. We will definitely be returning. Thanks, Steve, for your friendship and all your help in making our stay memorable.

Beautiful property, plenty of natural light most of the home, lots of outdoor space and natural vegetation, far enough away from the city to feel like a little sanctuary, but close enough to plenty of restaurants, super markets, farmer's market, and anything else you might need. Great selection of movies (DVDs) for everybody, pool table, ping pong table, a nice porch to watch the sunset and see rainbows from. Steve (the owner) made us feel right at home, he was always making sure we had everything we needed (and more), he gave us tips on fun local things to do, and he just made our stay truly amazing. We highly recommend staying at this property, we'd definitely come back, it was perfect for our family of 4 (kids 9 & 2), we had no issues doing remote work and remote school during our long stay (the office space is beautiful, surrounded by windows to enjoy the sunsets, the rain, the butterflies, the birds -lots of them-, makes you forget you're working or doing homework)... We'll miss this place a lot, it was a great find, a hidden gem. Thank you so much Steve! Pura Vida!, we'll be seeing you again soon for sure!!!

Beautiful place and very nice owner!

It was a lovely, spacious, homey home and kid-friendly ! We loved being so close to the Britt coffee tour and the Bougenvilla hotel. The host was very gracious and helpful. It was a a great first stop to our Costa Rica experience.

Great place ,very private

We stayed at this home for 10 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The climate was perfect (a lot of rain, but hey, its the rainy season). The three plus bedroom two bath home has large rooms and plenty of them. Excellent High speed/Wi-Fi (we encountered zero buffering when streaming Netflix and/or websites). My first impression was not as positive, because the house could use some cosmetic updating (floor tile in main area is old,and looks it....the master bath looks out of date also, but works fine,). Despite looking a little worn on first impression, we rapidly became very comfortable here.....Everything worked great, the pool table provided an interesting way to spend a few minutes each day (not totally level....but then they rarely are...I would recommend that Steven get a pro in to make it roll true, but as is, it was quite servicable). We spent most of the daylight hours out front on the wonderful covered veranda....there is a nice view across the valley to the east, and the grounds have beautiful flowering plants, birds and hummingbirds. Eduardo and Agnes, who look after the place, were both friendly and helpful and always available to provide advice, directions, etc. I took a few Spanish lessons from Agnes, who is a well educated and fascinating person and a fully qualified language teacher (in several languages)...I really enjoyed our talks/lessons...they were both interesting and helpful. Overall a wonderful experience and a good value. We felt, and were, totally safe, secure and comfortable during our stay. We had a wonderful ten days with no problems or complaints. Hated to leave.

Steven is an excellent host! Very quick to respond and has many people in place to assist if anything is needed.

We're a 3-Generation Family who were LUCKY enough to again find,for the second year in a row,Steve's-Super-StayPlace for two months... ( Christmas Season 2017). His home is very,very ROOMY... & COZY at the same time.It has SO many extra useful,intriguing and interesting features that it's hard to list them all ,but here's a few: OUTDOORS: HugeDeck& Kitchen-BBQ Area,Gardens&Flowers,Birds,Sunsets,Deck Chairs & PingPongTable. INDOORS: Large PoolTable,3BigBdrms;very Bright&Airy Dining Area:VERY large&handy BAR area;great Wifi& TVconnection;VERY well-stocked kitchen;VG supply of Linens for a lg.group...the list could go on&on... ....Biggest asset is Steve,himself...and his support group who take care of the unexpected and give a terrific personal touch. We'll always appreciate Steve's concerned nature and his knowledge of all-things-CostaRica !!! Plus,he's a relaxed sort of guy and became a friend in the process. HighFive to a GoodGuy and a CozyCasaGrande!!! Adios& PuraVida Steve,from the PanekPeople,Alberta Canada
