Diego

This is a beautiful, private home. For being in the mountains, having the view of the ocean is spectacular. The hammocks on the rooftop were extra special. We also loved the individual bedroom suites with A/C. And…the pool. Wow, the pool with the view! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

The pool is so beautiful and fun! Short walk to beach and town. Exactly like the pictures! Lisbeth is an outstanding caretaker of the place and we felt comfortable asking her for anything. Her cooking skills are outstanding and I would highly recommend her to prepare a few outstanding meals!

My family of four spent a lovely week at Diego‘s home. The view is fantastic. Lisbeth was always there when we needed her. Proximity to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the pool which was clean and just the right size. Diego helped us make reservations at Don Ramiro’s on our last night, something I cannot recommend enough.

our family stayed here for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time! Diego was a fabulous host and was very responsive. The amazing caretaker Lisbeth was also a phenomenal chef. We'll be back!

Amazing home in Punta Islita. Our family of four stayed for two nights and we wish we could have been there longer. View of the ocean with passing parrots and macaws right from the living room. Incredible!

Diego was extremely responsive, helpful and friendly. This is our 6th time to CR and our 2nd time to this lovely home in Punta Islita, not our last. We always feel right at home. Muchas Gracias + Pura Vida!

Another great stay. Liz was awesome as the on-site host.

Fabulous place, great views. We traveled to Islita to see the Macaw Recovery Network's nursery and were blown away by the efforts to reintroduce the beautiful Scarlet Macaws. They flew over the house daily in pairs, squawking and making themselves known. The house is beautiful, accommodates a group very well with separate air conditioned casitas and a central cabana/kitchen by the pool. It was very, very hot when we were there, and the kitchen/cabana isn't air conditioned. Lisbeth, the caretaker, is very responsive and helpful, she kept the house in tip top shape and helped us turn on the gas stove when we cooked in one night. We made use of the hotel amenities at the beach (huge plus - chairs, hammocks, a bar, restaurant, and beachside spa services, etc). The hotel is cool with you doing that - they even let us use their towels one day. Of course we purchased a lot from the hotel to make it worth their while, including the hotel breakfast one morning.

We visit Punta Islita yearly and this was our first time at Diego’s place. The house is stunning and the views are amazing. The location was great-easy to walk to the beach and several restaurants and we used the amenities of the hotel next door. Our party of nine fit comfortably and Lisbeth, the caretaker, was very helpful. We would definitely recommend and hope to be back!

Diego's home is a little paradise. What a pleasure to swim with the ocean view. The decor and equipment of the house are perfect. We didn't want to leave so much it was fine!

This is our 4th time in Islita. Our first time at this Villa. We loved it, our teens loved it. Very clean, modern home. Beautifully furnished. Amazing view. Lisbeth was a doll. We felt right at home. We plan to return.

Very nice, excellent cleanliness . We enjoyed a lot and rested. The place is very peaceful.

The place is spectacular surrounded by lots of nature and the house is fully equipped, just what we expected. Lisbeth is very attentive and helpful, plus she cooks very well. We really had a great time and would come back without thinking!

Beautiful home, great location, wonderful host! We traveled as two families with five kids ages 10-14. Lisbeth and her family live at the entrance to the house; the house is at the top of long driveway up the hill. Everything about this home was perfect for our two families. The kids had their own “casita” and the parents all had their own space as well. The house is in a quaint oceanside area where there is a small grocery store just a couple of minutes drive, or ten minute walk. The beach is just a quick and easy 5-10 minute walk away. We had access to the hotel amenities, including the beachside restaurant. There were also surfboard and boogie board rentals right down at the beach, as well as surfing lessons available. We planned a few meals cooked by Lisbeth and we were sooo glad we did that. Lisbeth made the best meals we ate there and she was also so helpful and kind during our entire stay. Highly recommend this home for families or anyone looking for a wonderfully secluded and quiet space to enjoy the Costa Rican pura vida. Many thanks to Diego for his hospitality and accommodations!

Great home and staff. Lisabeth is an awesome chef
