Great location. The access to the beach is amazing. Definitely worth the stay. Use of the portable fans were clutch and needed. Worth the money to stay.

Rustic! We loved it for two nights but happy to upgrade after that. Price was good for what it is. No AC was a little hard on everyone through the nights but I loved the sound of the ocean and geckos. Super cool surfers crashing house. Not a lot of privacy for very large groups. Perfect location for surfing. I sat on the beach at 4:30am with coffee, towels and my favorite surf shammy and I left my sweatpants there to walk down the beach when the sun started coming up and when I returned all my things were gone!! My pants and towels. They left my coffee cup. So at 5ish AM someone took all my belongings. Very uncomfortable knowing someone was right outside the gate and took my things. I asked Gabriela but it wasn’t her so it made me feel very uncomfortable for the rest of the stay and I was always looking outside at night. BUT still think the place is cool

My family and friends 8 guests total had a terrific stay at the casa. We were thrilled with the location, just steps from the beach and a fun stroll along the shore to Taramindo over the estuary by a quick and fun boat ride.The house while showing its age a bit, had all the amenities we could have wanted. The pool was fantastic as we spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the quiet and private oasis. The local cafe's and grocery store were a minutes away and were wonderful. Our house keeper Gabriella was attentive and we felt well taken care of. This was an excellent value and hope to return.

The hostess was very responsive to our needs and any questions we had she was able to answer.

The location is amazing- right on beach and so private! The house is very rustic - very dusty, hot and buggy. Wouldn’t recommend it with young kids. They got destroyed by bugs and were so overheated.  Unfortunately the pool tiles are falling off, the screen doors are broken, the couches are hard to sit on, the kitchen items are very old. Again, great location if coming to surf and relax. But the house has seen better days.

Great place, very close to the beach, lots of tranquility to relax

Excelente lugar, muy cerca de la playa, mucha tranquilidad para relajarse

Excellent experience!!!! Great for people who don’t want/need A/C, like to hear the ocean and spend time on the beach. Amazing experience!!!!!

Great place, easy access to surf break, cozy.

My group had rented this place last year at about the same time of year.  My group enjoyed how private it felt and the beach was never crowded.  The beach was just beyond the back of the property and easy enough to walk to.  Though there is no air conditioning, there are plenty of fans, in the bedrooms and through the house.  We enjoyed that we could keep the house windows open for the fresh ocean air and listening to the wildlife.  Helpful to have a clean pool and a covered area to eat and sit and relax.  Our caretaker, Gabriela, was each day cleaning the pool and grounds around the house and was helpful with anything else was needed.

Beautiful unpretentious home. A tad on the rustic side, but supports beach living perfectly. The rooms are simply appointed but everything you need is present. House supports outdoor living at its best. Proximity to the beach and the pool make this place amazing. Less than half a block from great food. Neighborhood very chill, walkable, and friendly.

The location is fabulous. Being able to walk to the beach from your backyard is the highlight of this location. When you are tired of the beach, you can enjoy the fantastic pool which is huge. Our kids loved both of these amenities. There is no a/c in the house so be prepared for that as Guanacaste gets hot. We went during there winter months and it was hot! Each room has a fan though so that helps. The outside kitchen was great too for BBQing. We enjoyed our stayed.

This home is located in a pristine location. Being a few short steps away from the ocean and being a few short steps away from Mar Azul (Café) is awesome. Beautiful pool, and the groundskeeper is also really friendly and makes sure the place is always nice and clean for you to use. However, there were a few things we did not like. Like...the road to and from is probably is the worst condition, you don't need a 4x4 to get there, but you do need a newer suspension. Roads are filled with bumps, enough to make you go from one seat to another. This does not fall on the homeowners though...but not having hot water in the showers, and having 2 fans not working when there is no A/C, does. We did reach out and tried to get them fix, being since we were not there as much, it could be fixed. If this home had A/C and nice hot water, probably couldn't afford to stay here if it did. 😬 Overall though, place was good for the price.

We loved our week at Salty's place.  Salty was always responsive and helpful.  The house was great, it was exactly what we thought it would be.  The house is not the most luxurious place, but it was great for my family.  The lack of AC wasn't that big a deal as there was always a very nice breeze being right on the beach.  The house and its furnishings could be updated a little more, but overall none of that mattered to us.  We loved the location right on the beach and the pool was great.   We had a great time in Costa Rica and we had a great time at Salty's house. Thanks Salty!

Very beautiful setting! The area is full of amenities and services. Rustic is the key word, the facilities could use a bit of TLC. The dogs are awesome!

There was plenty of room for all of us.  The grounds of the property and the pool was kept up. Our hostess was very kind and helpful and always there when needed.  All and all my group had a wonderful vacation.

My family and I had an amazing time at Salty's beach house. The location was absolutely perfect, and we were shocked by how big the pool was! We also appreciated our mostly shaded space on the beach, with chairs included. My parents were worried about the lack of AC, but it turned out to be fine. Lots of fans included and there is a breeze from the ocean at night. We wish we stayed longer.

This was the perfect getaway spot for 2 families with 3 kids ages 12-16. We were literally steps from beautiful Playa Blanca, making it a great spot for early morning surfing or dipping in the ocean at sunset. The pool was also a lovely addition and a great place to take a dip before bed. The yard was beautiful and you felt like you were in the jungle with little crabs, geckos, lizards and monkeys close by. The house is rustic as described and doesn’t have AC, but between the ocean breeze and the fans in each room you really don’t need it. There are a couple of restaurants a short walk from the house, and a spot for morning yoga (quite magical with the sound of the birds and the sea breeze). Gabriella the groundskeeper is super sweet and helpful, and got us set up with surfboard rentals. And Salty who manages the property was always incredibly responsive and kind. All in all, a perfect spot for a family vacay!

If your looking for a house for a large group with a swimming pool and on the beach. This is the perfect house for you.

Gaby is super attentive and I help us with check-in. Place not suitable for low cars, the entrance has many gaps, but the facilities excellent. Definitely recommended.

Gaby super atenta y nos ayudo con el check in. Lugar no apto para carros bajos, la entrada tiene muchos huecos, pero las instalaciones excelentes. Recomendado sin dudas.

The house is quite spacious, very nice, we loved the pool and the water temperature.

La casa es bastante amplia, muy bonita, nos encantó la alberca y la temperatura del agua.

Absolutely love staying here!! It is such a convenient location being so close to the beach, and there are a couple of really good local restaurants within walking distance! The house itself was perfect for 10 people, and the pool was a blast. The housekeeper and Salty were so friendly and quick with communicating.

Excellent location, very quiet and clean place. The people who take care of the house are very friendly and helpful

Excelente ubicación, muy tranquilo y limpio el lugar. Las personas que cuidan la casa son muy amables y atentos

Excellent place, the pool is unbeatable and the access to the beach is luxurious. Few houses on the big beach have that ease. The house is excellent, the kitchen is super complete. No complaints.

Excelente lugar, la piscina es inmejorable y el acceso a la playa es de lujo. Pocas casas en playa grande tiene esa facilidad. La casa excelente, la cocina es super completa. Sin queja alguna.

Amazing place to stay. Exactly as described. Steps ( literally 20 steps) to one of the best beaches we seen. Tamarindo is 40 minutes away for some night life. Salty the host was amazing!!!! Responsive, and friendly!! Gaby the housekeeper was very quiet, give us privacy but kept the pool and patio spotless!! I will for sure come back next year!! Great stay!!

Amazing place would stay there again and again beach front on a budget all that's needed to be said

This place is really pretty and Gabriella who lives next door is so helpful and very sweet. This place doesn't have air conditioning so we felt hot and sticky the entire time and the fans only do so much. We stayed at another AirBnb prior to arriving at this location and it was air-conditioned, had a pool, easy access to shopping, and no bugs. This place was bigger and nicer looking but is far away from shopping so you can Uber or take the water taxi which was fun. You can't beat the view you have of the beach which is steps away from the house. Be prepared to deal with bugs inside the house unless they do something about them and having to figure things out on your own since there wasn't a guest book or similar. We found that you'll want to have Whats App since that's the easiest form of communication when you're there and that it's lot 141 which will help the drivers navigate their way to you. We all agreed that we liked the place but it would be fantastic with air conditioning!

This place is exactly what my family needed, off the beaten path. Private, quiet (except for the thunderous waves) Gabriella was EVERYTHING!!!! She takes care of everything you need! A very kind soul, soft spoken, but very helpful! There are several local places to eat with in walking distance. The bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor are open to each other. There are eight foot walls , the cathedral ceiling is about 13’ so you have privacy but sound travels. If you’re looking for a VERY laid back place to kick your feet up. This is it. If you want to lay in the sun a towel is your only option. Beach or pool. There are sitting up straight chairs, but no laying down lounge chairs. This would be a huge addition to be able to relax in.  The sights and sounds are perfection.

The hosts were absolutely incredible. Gabriela came by to clean the pool multiple times a day and was there to help us with whatever we might need. The power went out two of the days we were there, and we had a full day that the water did not work. There was not a backup generator so we ended up losing a lot of food and without the fans it was hard to sleep. Something to keep in mind if you decide to stay here. Besides that, the location is lovely. It felt private and had access to the ocean and everything you might need.

This house is absolutely amazing and RIGHT on the beach. Awesome for kiddos with the big pool! Playa Grande is literally only steps away (amazing CLOSE beach views from the house). Our time there was fun and serene. :) Thank you!
