Host Response

Thanks again It fills us with joy to know that you enjoyed the experience and that you were able to feel that special tranquility of Casa Costa de Oro 🌿✨ It will be a pleasure to welcome you again to Marbella, Guanacaste. This will always be your home!

Without a doubt, what is shown in the photos is what we saw when we arrived – a very cozy open-concept house. Check-in was fine. They are making improvements to the roads to provide a better driving experience in the coastal areas. The rooms are very good. From the very first day of contact, Esteban was very attentive and always willing to help. There were some areas for improvement, but as guests, we managed to work things out. There were 9 of us, and the bathroom supplies were a bit limited, so we had to handle that on our own. The good thing is, we loved that the place had a bathroom. On one trip, we had a hard time with dirty laundry; this time, it wasn't like that. We went home with clean clothes, which was really valuable. I would definitely go there again and would recommend it.

The villa is clean, well equipped, well designed, has a sense of privacy and gated community makes you feel safe. Esteban (the host) is super nice and responsive. There is a large pool in approx. 200m from the villa - clean and mostly empty. Positive experience overall! Wild animals - you will probably see more than in a national park; sometimes too many: toads, crabs, iguanas, racoons, grey foxes, huge grasshoppers and flies, even scorpions. The jungle is next door; so animals and insects come to visit daily. Marbella is a surfer's heaven. Beautiful beach, high waves and yoga retreats. Not much else, especially for a family with kids. The closest gas station is in the other town; so is the large supermarket. For surfing it's a dream location.

Very nice experience. Esteban’s villa is truly beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and very clean, and the kitchen is also very well-equipped. I cook a lot, and I didn’t want for anything: rice cooker, pans, pots, utensils, wine glasses, salt, sugar, coffee, coffee filter… wow 🤩 And what can I say about the host, Esteban? He is truly very responsive, very courteous, very kind—really 10/10. He loves his house and wants us to feel comfortable there. And the bedrooms 🤩 were very comfortable—beds, mattress, sheets—nothing negative to say, and what can I say about the lovely shower in the master bedroom? There is a beach very close by, 10 minutes away, with a restaurant on the beach; otherwise, it takes over an hour to get to other beautiful beaches like Tamarindo, Flamingo, Hermosa, etc. Lots of miles to cover to visit the coast. The warmth was perfect. Nice trip Thank you, Esteban 🌞🌞

Thank you so much for your comment! We are very happy to hear that they enjoyed their stay and that everything was to your liking. It was a pleasure to welcome you. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit! 😊🌴

This place is even more beautiful than in the pictures! We especially loved the pool which was always the perfect temperature. The decor and architecture was very natural and beautiful, complete with pretty tile work and natural boho decor. There is a nice kitchen with all the utensils you need to prep food and a relaxing living area. The true beauty of this location shines in the outdoor area which features a perfect sized pool, outdoor shower, fire pit and cute seating area. The host Esteban was so welcoming and very communicative. If you are thinking about booking this location, definitely do it! You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!
