The beachfront location of this home in Costa del Mar was great, and the layout provided plenty of space for our large group to gather for meals. However, we ran into several significant maintenance and cleanliness issues during our stay. The power went on and off repeatedly, and the water completely shut off at one point. Most concerning was a severe cockroach infestation throughout the home. It was bad enough that bugs crawled on some of the kids at night, forcing them to sleep on the living room couch instead of their beds. The house has potential given its size and location, but it urgently requires proper pest control and utility maintenance to provide a safe and comfortable stay for guests.
Host Response
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the beachfront location and spacious layout. We would like to clarify a few points for future guests. During your four-night stay, every issue brought to our attention was addressed extremely promptly and resolved. The power outage affected the San Carlos area, not just our property; our community reported it to the energy company and service was restored immediately. The brief water interruption was caused by a tripped circuit breaker and was also immediately resolved. We were never informed during your stay of any pest problem or other unresolved issue. We take cleanliness and pest control very seriously and would have acted immediately had we been made aware of a concern of the severity described in this review. We pride ourselves on being responsive and maintaining our property to a high standard.

Great stay at this beachfront house in San Carlos! The check-in was smooth with a coded door lock. Clean with all amenities, every room had A/C, and the kitchen is spacious with a table for 15. The patio, with outdoor seating and a grill, opens to a beach just steps away, featuring clean sand and a light system for nighttime use. Some things to note: the fridge wasn’t cold enough, sliding doors were a bit stiff, and the carport rooms had a industrial smell. Overall, a peaceful, enjoyable stay. We’d definitely return!

One of the best houses we’ve stayed at in San Carlos over the years. The house is just as described and well maintained. Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water, and good AC. 2 of the bedrooms are in a separate casita which was great for people in our party who wanted to go to bed early and not hear the rest of the group in the living room. The location can’t be beat - right on the beach and less than 5 minute walk to Sunset Grill and other restaurants. You can see all the fun happening, but are far enough away it won’t disturb your sleep. We were a group of 12 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of space for everyone. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. The giant dining table and patio table made group meals really fun. We hope to be back again - the host is excellent. Very responsive and accommodating. They’ve done a great job and I hope we can come back someday soon. It really is a one-of-a-kind place to build great memories :) Thanks Marcelo!

We loved our stay. The house was very comfortable and spacious for all the family. It was nice to be right by the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunset views from the backyard. We appreciated having the community pool a few steps away too. The house is also located by a few restaurants that you can walk to which was great! If we had any issues or questions Marcelo was an awesome host and always available to help us. We hope we can come back again soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Marcelo's place was perfect for us! We were a group of 16 people, consisting of 6 families. The house has six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and plenty of parking space, which made it convenient for us to unload our luggage. Marcelo's home was equipped with everything we needed, and the kitchen had all the necessary amenities for cooking. The place is inviting and comfortable for family gatherings, and the beach is just a few steps away from a covered terrace with spectacular views. Marcelo was a fantastic host who replied promptly to our inquiries. Our family had a great time, and we definitely plan on coming back!

Marcelo was a great host! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family and I. Marcelo was a very easy and responsive host, one of the ac units in a bedroom wouldn’t turn on and immediately he took care of it! Thank you for making our stay such an amazing experience!! Can’t wait to stay in your home again!!

The house is spacious and very clean, clear instructions, the place is excellent, only the pool is just a few meters from the house. Outside that, everything is excellent!
Host Response
Hi Almara, I am very sorry for the pool issue. The publication of our house does not mention that it has a pool, only in the common area. Thank you so much for staying in our house, always welcome.

We will definitely be staying again here!

Amazing home to stay. Marcelo was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. The home was fantastic! Every room had their own bathroom, the view from inside was stunning and the access to the beach is what truly sold us on his home. Anyone traveling to San Carlos definitely should stay here!

House was perfect. Everything was clean, had so many sleeping areas that our group of 13 had 2 extra rooms. Another thing we loved was that each room had its own full bathroom so no sharing. House is located beachfront which is extra important when going with kids who want to spend all day in the water. We’ve stayed in at least 5 different homes in this community over the years and this one has been our favorite.
