We visited a few spots during our Costa Rica excursion and Karen’s home felt like ours. A mark of a great stay is when you’re truly sad to say goodbye and so it was for us and Wind Song. Keep your ears and eyes open for the Scarlet Macaws that just might land on a tree branch close by!

Highly recommend Karen's place. It was peaceful and the surrounding view is amazing. Karen was responsive and went out of her way to help us organize a tour to Manuel Antonio!

The place was very cozy and ideal especially if you are traveling with kids. best to have a rented car to reach the place. the cute pool attached to the home was a highlight for kids to cool off after day's activity. having laundry accessible to the house was great since this was the last stop of our trip. Karen was very responsive and helped with all our queries and needs

This was our favorite air bnb! A sanctuary for the tired travelers! The penthouse was very roomy for my family of four. The building had great craftsmanship and character, and was super clean. Kids loved the pool while we relaxed on the huge veranda. Karen’s cooking ( if chosen!) was also delicious. Would definitely recommend this place!

Karens house is soo nice and comfortable. It is fenomenal! So nicely furnished, spacious, clean, the pool is nice and warm. Everything is close, shops, restaurants, beaches.. One of the best houses we rented! Thank you Karen, thank you Harry. Daisy, their dog, is adding to the charm of this special place.

Karen's place is great. Very well located, very well equipped and tastefully decorated. The pool is just perfect!! Karen and her husband were very welcoming and helpful. Squirrel monkeys made us so welcome. We were able to see Aras and toucans from the house

Beautiful villa near Manuel Antonio. Hosts are helpful. Furnishings and pool give a yoga studio vibe.

We spent many hours eating, lounging and gazing into the jungle canopy from the comfort of the grand terrace. The inviting, private pool has an ample lounge area with a shower to rinse off. The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds. The large, open kitchen and living area are perfect for making meals. It was just the two of us but this place is perfect for 2-3 couples or a family as there are two full bathrooms and a 2 piece washroom off the living room. The home is nestled in a quiet neighbourhood - private without feeling isolated. Peace of mind knowing the owners live on the ground floor below, available to answer questions. Quick drive to Quepos, cafes, restaurants, beaches and the main attraction, Manuel Antonio National Park - our guided tour was a highlight! Karen’s curated guide book has many recommendations plus she offers options for prepared on-site breakfasts, dinner, cocktail hour, appetizers etc. upon request. Highly recommend this property for a memorable vacation.

Judy and Paul showed us how to enjoy this unit! They took advantage of all the amenities and left the place spotless. Come back soon!

I love this place. It has a magic feel to it. There was a new mural on the wall by the pool and I just looked at it for what seemed like hours while I floated in the beautiful pool. Clearly a lot of work has been done since an earlier review, because none of those issues existed for my stay. Loved it.
Host Response
Thanks so much Harry. You are a really fun guest, please come back again anytime!

This place has potential but is not ready for prime time yet. I would only stay here again if the owner addresses some issues. Pros: o Spacious o Pool o King bed o Good location o Kitchen has dishes, supplies, etc. o Host is very responsive - Cons o Need AWD for driveway which was difficult to get up and down o Can’t completely shut doors so insects/geckos/etc. enter easily I had a roach on my head 2 nights and insects throughout o If you are allergic to (or afraid of dogs) you will have an issue as they can’t really be avoided (although the dogs are super friendly, so this could also be a pro) o No AC in main living area (AC only in bedrooms) o Lock to unit door is tricky o Owner can access your area (i.e. not 100% private) o Advertised laundry (at least free dryer), but it is actually not free o Definitely noisy with construction starting way before 730am (heard them getting ready ~6am) which is what we had been told (although this is a temporary situation in the summer of 2023)

Thanks for your helpful feedback, as this is a new home for us, the upgrades are ongoing. Driveway is indeed top of the list. The other suggestions are all useful. Really sorry for the insects, we will address that immediately. Still developing our pest control routine. We really enjoyed having your family and sincerely hope with all the upgrades addressed we can lure you back.
