The house is very safe, located in a quiet place with a security guard. With an ocean view, we enjoyed the terrace and the swimming pool.

Excellent stay at Casa Lu. The home is extremely well appointed - beautiful furnishings - not typical made-for-airbnb style furniture and appliances. It was quiet, private, and a relaxing place to unwind. The air conditioning was great - crucial in the extreme heat. Host met us there, walked us through the property, and then stayed out of our hair for the rest of the time. Cleaning service daily was a great perk. Lastly, the location is perfect in Santa Teresa, as long as you have a car / ATV. Was very grateful to be out of the noise of the main town while still being ~5 mins away in a vehicle. Overall - very pleasant stay. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our time in Casa Lu! The surrounding area is very quiet. You can only hear the sound of the sea. Everything is good and very quickly accessible – beach, shops, restaurants. The house was very nice, clean, the beds very comfortable and the air conditioning in each room good and quiet. The kitchen is very well equipped. Nice garden furniture, we especially liked the hammock very much! The host was always within easy reach. What we didn't like so much : Ants in the house, especially in the master bedroom. On the last day, we discovered two small scorpions in 2 bathrooms (upstairs and downstairs) at night. Although they are supposedly harmless in Costa Rica, we did not feel comfortable. In the morning we found piles of feces in the pool. We were told it was raccoon droppings. So, the pool wasn't exactly inviting until the cleaners finished up. The ladies needed 3-4 hours every day for cleaning. That took away a bit of our privacy.

Host Response

Hi Anneli, thank you for your feedback! I am really glad you enjoyed the home and found it well-equipped and comfortable. I am sorry to hear about the inconveniences you experienced. Being in a tropical environment, we do our best to control nature’s little visitors, but I completely understand how that could be unsettling. I also want to mention that we only learned about the ant situation at the end of your stay. Had we known earlier, we would have taken the necessary steps to address it immediately. Regarding the pool, we truly appreciate your patience while our team ensured it was clean and inviting again… Your input helps us improve, and we would love to welcome you back for an even better experience.

Raphaëlle was the most amazing host we truly could have asked for! Prior to arriving to Santa Teresa, she reached out and made sure that all our needs were meet. She booked our ATV’s which was a plus. Her responsiveness was by far the best I have ever experienced with Airbnb. When we arrived; she welcomed us and made sure to provide all the info on the property and recommended several amazing restaurants. We felt at home right away! Throughout our stay she checked in regularly if we were ok and if we needed anything else. The place is absolutely amazing!! The view, location, decor, hospitality, design, safety and 24 security was beyond our expectations. The property is located more in a quieter part of Santa Teresa which was perfect for us; away from the crowds! We would have loved to stay longer due to the amazing experience we had, not only at the property but how well Raphaëlle took such great care of us! We can’t wait to return to Casa Lu soon! Thank you for having us! ♥️

We have been coming to the Santa Teresa area for the last 20 years and Casa Lu was our favorite so far. The house is located within a gated community with very friendly security up a steep hill which provides for amazing views of the ocean. The house was spacious, private and clean. We are excited to return to Casa Lu during our next visit to ST.

I traveled to Santa Teresa with my mom and two children (6 and 9). The Hanit house was absolutely perfect for our stay! The kids loved the pool and outdoor patio, there are gorgeous views from the house, and the bathrooms and bedrooms are pristinely clean and new. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to cook at home. We loved the privacy of the house and the security gate to access the home. The concierge was EXTREMELY helpful and responsive in booking activities, reservations, recommendations, and questions regarding the house. Overall, I can't recommend this home enough for a vacation stay in the Santa Teresa area! Pura Vida!
