Unbeatable view, super clean place, super friendly host. Too bad the pool couldn't be used due to lack of maintenance.

Definitely a very nice place. We love staying there because it has a beautiful ocean view. Highly recommended.

If you need peace with a beautiful view, this is the place! Going to the beach is not hard with many golf cart rentals, parking, or walking ( I like the challenge of walking up and down the hill. not for everyone). also, I would read and watch the sunrise while listen to the ocean. This stay brought me a lot of peace and grounding. I was very gratitude to have this present moment to reflect and relax.

The views make this place worth it. It’s definitely a cottage stay vibe. It was clean but be aware the red ants and geckos are common in all of Costa Rica I’ve found the front doors are never a tight seal. The neighbourhood was worrisome on first arrival with some graffiti on neighbouring properties and no gate or security on Yarinas property but we didn’t run into any trouble and felt safe. It is very close to the new Marina with fancier restaurants. We ate at JB’s bar which was good. The two close by beaches are nice - Playa Flamingo for morning or sunset walks are a must. 5 mins to Playa Carrillo - more private with no restaurants or people trying to sell you stuff so pack a lunch and drinks! The AirBnB provided camping chairs came in handy for our beach days. We also enjoyed coming home to the cat on the property everyday. Overall our stay was cute and rustic and would recommend for couples that don’t mind the more rustic stay.

I loved the castle 🏰 The views are amazing. We live nearby, but we like to get away for several days, and it was very nice!

Dumpy neighbourhood, garbage, graffiti, abandoned buildings. Algae in pool. Air conditioner needs maintenance cannot lower less than 22c and smells moldy. Cannot cook if AC does not cool space down. Host does not respond for days!

Easy drive up the hill to the Airbnb with good parking options downstairs or just outside the property. Strong AC + fan combo considering it was in mid 90s our entire trip. We stayed for 7 days and it’s a wonderful location, has everything you need to make coffee or cook if you’d like. Spectacular views - definitely true about the flight of stairs you have to take to go earn it!

Yarina and Diana were the perfect hosts from the moment we booked and throughout our stay . They connected us with airport transfer, local tours and were always willing to offer advice. The home was just as beautiful as listed and the pool and grounds were clean and inviting. We were not bothered by the walk up the hill or the stairs as it offered the privacy and views we were looking for. The local market down the hill and the 3 semi private beaches plus Playa Flamingo and Playa Potrero were all within a 5 to 10 minute walk away. We did not rent a car or cart and enjoyed the daily walks which always started and ended with a dip in the pool or ocean. Perfection! We were also lucky to be here in mango season. It was an amazing 11 nights. Thank you Yarina and Diana. We will be back!

The Castle Tower was an amazing experience! The views are even better than the photos, and the sunsets from the property were spectacular. The location was private, and was close to local beaches - I particularly liked the secluded beach visible from the unit. The space was also clean and setup well! The only thing worth mentioning was the water pressure was very low, but I’m told it was a municipal issue, and might be due to the height of the spot. I was able to manage, and it was worth it for the view - really enjoyed my stay!
