We spent our Christmas here with our family. What a well designed, spacious home with an easy walk to Playa Hermosa! The pool was large and clean with plenty of loungers for all of us. Great Christmas for us!

We had a great time! We went with our family and two small children. Our favorite part was the jungle walk to the beach! Made it easy to visit the beach a lot. Lots of good restaurants around but best to drive or take an ATV/4 wheeler into town. We rented a car and glad we did as it can be very humid! Pool was really nice, and we loved the outdoor shower after coming home from the beach.

Excellent location and accommodation. We'll definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this incredible home. It was more spacious and comfortable than it appears in pictures. Beds were very comfortable and the layout and flow of the house was amazing for 6 of us (ages 13-18 plus two adults). We really enjoyed the pool and outdoor area, and the proximity to a wonderful beach. The kitchen was very well equipped with utensils, dishes, pots and pans, etc., but did not have any cooking basic essentials stocked like salt, pepper, sugar, or oil. Communication and help from Brett (property manager), Katy (concierge), and Edgar (groundskeeper) were great. Edgar was there every morning before 7am making sure all of the outdoor areas were pristine. He was so nice that he surprised us by washing our car one morning! We had trouble with Internet service not functioning the first two nights which was a major inconvenience as cell reception is almost non-existent at this location, but Katy and Brett put pressure on the Internet service provider and were able to get them out to repair the line eventually and all was smooth after that. We would definitely return to this amazing home!

Just returned from a week at Casa Lalu. Went down with my 16 year old son, his friend and another father and his two teenage boys for a surf trip. What a great time! Katy, the house manager, was great to work with. Very responsive, helpful and accommodating, a joy to work with. The house is beautiful. It actually felt like a home that someone lived in all the time. From the artwork on the walls to the utensils in the kitchen. Everything we needed. The house has a very strong Japanese influence to the design of not only the interior but to the gardens and vegetation around the home. The interior is beautiful with a great layout for the rooms and living spaces. The exterior living space is phenomenal! The lounging area by the pool is large and comfortable, the hammocks are great nap places after a surf, the outdoor table is a great place to eat and play cards. When having late afternoon drinks sitting in the lounge area by the pool the jungle feels like you are in an immersive experience with the monkeys, birds and butterflies coming right up to the pool. The walk to Playa Hermosa takes minutes and is very convenient. We were about a 10 minute drive from the restaurants in the north end of Santa Teresa which made it very convenient if you are looking for something close yet away from the traffic and noise. Would absolutely recommend the home to anyone wanting a place that you could really just hang out at all day if you wanted. If we had to point out one area that we had difficulty with it was the mattresses and that is a very personal choice. They are firm mattresses which made it difficult for some of the people to sleep but again everyone is different when it comes to mattresses. Overall this is one of the best homes I have stayed at for a complete experience.

This is my favorite rental property we have ever stayed at. The photos do no do justice to just how nice this place is. The layout of the home is excellent. There is so much privacy here by the pool area but access to the beach is just a quick walk through the jungle. We had our 3 children with us, would go to the beach for a few hours a day and then come play in the pool the rest of the time. They absolutely loved it. A groundskeeper is there every day to make sure all the outside areas are tidy. There is housecleaning available each day, though we found that every other day was sufficient for us. The kitchen is beautiful and is a joy to cook in. The consierge was able to book everything we wanted to do at very good prices. Could not ask for a better experience. We hope to come back again and again.

If we could still be there, we would. This is the perfect home if you enjoy mid century architecture, surrounded by a lush jungle, only steps to the beach with a sparkling pool any of the day. The home offers pure serenity with all the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa onky 5 minutes away. The daily cleaning was a pleasant surprise and our concierge offered valuable services on more than one occasion, including a home visit after hours for our Covid tests required for travel back to the states. Thank you for a lovely vacation we will never forget.

We had a fabulous trip. The house was amazing! Looking forward to booking our next visit to Casa Lalu.
