Doug

​Our stay at Casa Roja was spectacular. The view from the house is breathtaking. Every morning, we were treated to the incredible sight of macaws flying into the trees right in fron of the the house! ​Doug was far more than a typical host; he helped us coordinate our entire trip. Even before we arrived at his Airbnb, Doug arranged our transport from the airport to La Fortuna, then to Sierpe, and eventually back to the airport again. Having that level of logistics handled made our trip entirely stress-free. ​The excursions Doug scheduled for us were amazing, with expert guides who helped us spot an unbelievable amount of wildlife, including humpback whales, manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins, monkeys, and much more. At the house, Gracelia, the caretaker, was a total gem. She cooked delicious home made lunches and dinners for us and made sure we had a fully stocked fridge with all of our favorite drinks and snacks. I highly recommend Casa Roja! What an amazing adventure!

This place is absolute paradise. The location is unbeatable — just steps from a pristine, beautiful beach with perfect waves, completely deserted, shared only with a few friendly dogs. It truly felt like our own private escape. The house was comfortable and spacious with gorgeous views of the jungle, treetops, ocean, and river. We loved the retractable screens, the comfortable beds, and how well the home is maintained. The food prepared and stocked for us was excellent and kept both adults and kids very happy. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Snorkeling, horseback riding, mangrove tour, and the night walk were all fantastic. There was no hot water during our stay, but given the extremely remote location, it was understandable, and the cold showers were actually refreshing in the heat. The owner was incredibly helpful, fair, and proactive — even providing a discount — and made sure everything was taken care of. An unforgettable stay in a truly special home.
