Xihu Villas was an awesome property! We rented this house a few days before my wedding with friends who all flew in on different days. The house was in a great location - a short 3 minute drive to the beach and had a great inside/outside area to lounge by the pool and cook outside. Our host, Felipe, was very kind and helped with any questions we had during our stay. The owner even allowed us to drop off our belongings the day before our stay to make room in our car. We hope to stay here again and would definitely recommend this house!!

We loved this house and Esterillos Oeste. It is beautiful, clean, fully stocked with everything you need and we loved hanging out in the pool after a day at the beach. We wished it was easier to walk to the beach, but it was a very short drive so overall it was a great stay. The property managers were friendly, responsive and just great people!

We were very well taken care at the house and loved the community of Esterios. Lovely people, great waves and a beach all to yourself. We will be back.

Casa Nielsen was a wonderful setting for a week-long vacation with our two daughters and their young families. The house is amazing, large with every possible comfort and a lovely pool--all at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed Esterillos Oeste with its beach-front, small-town, untouristy nature, its friendly and helpful people and its proximity to wonderful ocean beaches, nature and the national parks. We all highly recommend.

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Close to all the activities that the kids wanted to do but then we would return to pretty much our own private beach. The house was big enough for several families to stay but it was also great for just the 4 of us. Both my teenagers could escape and have their own space. We spent a lot of time in the pool. The owner answered all my questions prior to arrival and the property managers were awesome. We had a list of activities we wanted to do and they set everything up for us. All in all, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you !

The house was nice, but the oven didn't work and we were not able to use the grill as they had the wrong propane bottle connection. We purchased 280.00 worth of food to grill and bake and we had to throw most of it out and drive to Jaco to eat. Also, the washing machine was broke and there is one outside that we had to use...really weird! The property managers really need to clean the pool more often. It is a rectangular pool and in the creases there was build up and it looked nasty. We really didn't even get in it. We rented the house because they touted the "outside cooking area and pool" but we didn't use either for these reasons. We really didn't care for the location either. It was our first time in Costa Rica so now we know better areas to stay. Esterillos Oestes is VERY dirty!! We will definitely rent near Playa Hermosa next time. The neighbors were nice and helped us out more than the property managers!

Good place to stay with the family.

Big roomy never felt crowded with a large group. The outside area and pool are great! The owners communicated well and gave suggestions for restaurants and tours. Esterillos Oeste is a cool little laid back Beach town. We will be coming back to Casa Nielsen!!!! Pura Vida

We had a nice and relaxing time at the property. Kate who supported our arrival was very helpful and quick to respond to our needs. The house easily accommodates large groups of people and the pool is big enough. The beach is very near by and the location is quiet and allows to easily see birds like Guacamayas and parrots.

Perfect

Great stay, house was at a perfect location ... We would love to come back one day to Casa Nielsen... Pura Vida!!

Caretakers were very nice, house was big but needed work and update mainly on plumbing.

Casa Nielsen was everything we had hoped for and more. Not only was the property stunningly beautiful but it was the perfect home away from home. The house comfortably slept my group of 11 friends and I and we absolutely loved our time there. The house is fully stocked with everything you need prior to your arrival, spotless inside and out and has a beautiful atmosphere. The owners Bryan & Elisia were great people to work with and provided my group with consistent communication from the moment we booked till we left. Also, Dave & Kate the property managers were very helpful throughout the whole process from arrival till departure. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay on our first trip to Costa Rica. Overall everyone loved Casa Nielsen, the surrounding area and very much appreciate Bryan, Elisia, Dave & Kate. I highly recommend staying here to get the best possible experience out of your visit and to truly enjoy a beautiful and inviting home. Pura Vida

It was a great experience & all that was promised was delivered. Dave & Kate were attentive & quick to respond when we had questions. We were very content & the property is well maintained without there being a bother to us. Great place!!! Matt

We had a wonderful time at Casa Neilson! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The property managers were very helpful and kind. We enjoyed watching the large iguanas, hummingbirds, and parrots as we sat next to the pool. We came mid week and we almost had the beach to ourselves. It was a wonderfully relaxing time.

Thank You for a great Stay at Casa Nielson, The managers informed us very well, and our stay was great! Its close enough to Jaco and Close enough to Manuel Antonio for day trips! I would recommend to rent a car though... The one complaint I have is that the bathrooms don't have fans, and with the heat and humidity, once you get out of the shower you are already sweaty and sticky.. Yuk! Fans in the Bathrooms will make this better! But overall a good stay! I would recommend it to anyone. Gracias

This house is absolutely beautiful, good place to stay and relax, every detail makes it special and gorgeous , all bathrroms have bathtub, pool is clean and big.

Great family spot! Very well maintained property tons of amenities.

This was the perfect spot for our group of 12. The villa is indeed safe and very spacious, with plenty of outdoor furniture and a nice covered grill/bar area by the pool. The villa came fully equipped with beach towels, two bicycles and even a cell phone! Upstairs has four bedrooms in various configurations, sleeping 2 to 6 people. One bedroom has an en-suite. This rental's description of Esterillos Oeste is spot on. This is a less touristy beach community, and since we traveled at the beginning of the rainy season (which really wasn't bad), we pretty much had the beach to ourselves, and it is a very long, clean beach of soft brown sand. Esterillos Oeste is a quick drive to many other beach communities, Manuel Antonio national park, Jaco, and a few adventure parks. In town there are a couple of restaurants and mini-markets. The rental process was seamless. The property owner and his property management team were very responsive and volunteered lots of useful information before the trip began. They also provided a pack-n-play upon request - greatly appreciated. The villa is lined with coconut trees loaded with fruits. You won't starve. The villa has resident lizards and dragonflies. You won't see a mosquito. 5 stars - highly recommended.

Beautiful large home perfect for a family vacation. Loved Esterillo Oeste great location. Very friendly owner that is great at communicating. Property managers Kate & Dave are awesome! Highly recommend this property! We really enjoyed the pool!
