Traditional Costa Rican House

my stay here was everything I hoped for and more! the property is really lovely and Raquel was extremely kind and helpful

We fell in love with this outdoor oasis! Although it wasn’t exactly what we thought it was initially. We enjoyed the iguanas and birds that wandered the yard. It was quiet and beautiful and our kids loved swimming in the pool. Judith answered all of our many many questions very quickly! All of Judith’s recommendations were amazing!

this is a great place to stay with family. plenty of room. kids loved the pool and space to run around. fun outdoor space with a quick walk to the beach. there are many beautiful beaches within a quick drive from surfing to relaxing. quiet area, safe. definitely keeping this place in mind for future vacations.

This is a great house for families or large groups. A truly authentic Costa Rica beach vibe. The grounds are spacious and very well maintained. Lots of indigenous plants and beautiful creatures roaming around. Walking to the beach is easy but we really loved the short boat ride in the house-provided kayak and dingy down to the beach. Hot water and air conditioning in all the rooms. A van and driver were available for hire on-site to help with transport when needed. On-site folks also help with laundry and meals upon request. They were very accessible but not at all intrusive. We also rented a golf cart from Lazy Lizard just down the block which was great for quick trips to the 2 local grocery markets. Lazy Lizard can also book all your excursion tours. They were really a pleasure to work with. There are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance and others toward Playa Flamingo. We spent a great deal of time at the Costa Rica Sailing Center (within walking distance of the house by road or the beach). The Sailing Center has beach seating, a bar, restaurant, public swimming pool and full service beach toy rental stand. From boogie boards and snorkel gear to sail boats and catamarans - they have it all. For shops other than grocery we chartered the van for a day trip to Tamarindo full of cute boutiques. Be sure to visit Playa Conchal! Overall we had a great experience and are truly grateful to the owners and the caretakers for their support, referrals and truly wonderful hospitality.

The home was exactly what we wanted and needed for 2 families of 4 to enjoy a vacation in! It had all the amenities you would need and plenty of space to enjoy time together and have our own space. All the showers were just tempered water (no hot water) except the master suite bathroom. The shower head was and electric water heater so it was hot. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and just relaxing in the hammocks. The pool was nice to cool down in. Having the boats to get to the beach was awesome! The caretakers on site did a great job of cleaning up every morning. The dog was very friendly, however, it did enjoy taking a shoe or 2 if you left them unattended on the ground, so make sure you leave them in your room or pick them up. There are many restaurants within walking distance and even a grocery store. It was a very peaceful and safe area! We took many day trips, utilizing Adventours Costa Rica (http://www.adventours-costarica.com). They are a small company that picked us up every day at the house and we had private tours. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer! An amazing trip!
