2BR house in Playa Grande

Beautiful casa Bastien, big garden with pool. - Houses for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste - cabo Velas, Costa Rica

We spent a nice week as a family at Ben's house. The place is close to the beach. It's a house with a lot of character. We had a last-minute setback and Ben was super friendly. Thank you for everything!

Pasamos una linda semana en familia en la casa de Ben. El lugar está cerca de la playa, es una casa con mucha personalidad. Tuvimos un contratiempo de último minuto y Ben fue súper amable. Gracias por todo!

The house is amazing, super private and quiet, perfect for disconnecting from noise and stress. 🌿✨ It's surrounded by lots of nature, which makes the experience incredibly relaxing and special. If you are looking for peace, quiet, and a place to reconnect, this is the perfect spot. We absolutely loved it; we would definitely return. 20/10 🏡💚

La casa es increíble, súper privada y tranquila, perfecta para desconectarse del ruido y el estrés 🌿✨ Está rodeada de muchísima naturaleza, lo que hace que la experiencia sea demasiado relajante y especial. Si buscas paz, silencio y un lugar para reconectar, este es el spot perfecto. Nos encantó demasiado, definitivamente volveríamos. 20/10 🏡💚

Great place to stay for a small family in the Playa Grande area!

Boho charm in a beautiful setting. Gorgeous grounds and views. Peaceful yet near all the restaurants and close to the beaches. Benoit is super responsive and so simple to communicate with and has an easy going charm. The are some things that could be repaired, a few missing handles and the hammock strings were dodgy but really didn't spoil our visit or detract from the space. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was welcome and we enjoyed the shared pool. The sunsets and views and deck area are divine. We'd recommend and would use again. A handbook with info about laundry location and how to use shutters etc would make some things 5 star but again, it didn't spoil our stay at all.

Unbeatable value for money.  The upstairs bedroom with the view is beautiful. Kitchen is super well equipped. The outdoor shower, hidden by trees, is sensational. The whole family really loved it. If we go back to the area, we'll definitely stay here again. If I could have given 10 out of 5 stars, I would have. Thank you.

Rapport qualité prix imbattable.  La chambre en haut avec la vue est magnifiques. La cuisine est super bien équipé. La douche exterieur caché par des arbres est sensationnelle. Toute la famille a vraiment adoré. Si on retourne dans la région c'est sûr qu'on y retourne. Si j'avais pu mettre 10 étoiles sur 5 je l'aurais fait. merci

You will not regret staying at Benoit's place. This house was just what we needed and more! It has sunset and ocean views! A private garden and a big pool to hang out in the heat of the day. The house is very comfy, the location is by the beach, close to restaurants and cafes. It's just perfect! We hope to be back again soon! Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality, Ben!

We had a beautiful time here. We stopped for two nights with friends on our way to Nosara. We rented all three of Ben’s properties so it was a very private experience. The whole property is beautiful. Each house has its own privacy but since we were all together as a group it was nice to be able to easily wander from one house to the other. The shared pool was also a great highlight. The two single floor homes seem to be newer or recently upgraded compared to the two story home where we stayed but for the price, location, privacy and gorgeous environment, it was worth every penny. Thanks Ben!

Dreamy landscape!  The courtyard at Casa Bastien is beautiful.  The owner is easily reachable. An enchanting place where it's nice to relax.

Paysage à faire rêver!  La cour de chez Casa Bastien est magnifique.  Le propriétaire est facilement rejoignable. Un site enchanteur où il fait bon relaxer.

Had a great stay at Benoit’s place. Definitely hope to be back!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The property was very beautiful and peaceful and the home was fully equipped and comfortable.

Excellent place to stay, it is close to the best surf spots in Las Baulas Marine Park. Also, the house is large, has a swimming pool and a private patio which is perfect for family trips. We would definitely come back to this place.

Excelente sitio para hospedarse, está cerca de los mejores puntos de surf en el Parque Marino las Baulas. Asimismo, la casa es grande, cuenta con piscina y un patio privado lo cual es perfecto para viajes en familia. Definitivamente, volveríamos a este sitio.

Beautiful property with access to a nice pool and great views especially around sunset. Quite private. Benoit is very kind and responsive to questions or in case there are small issues. Highly recommend!

Benoits place is amazing to relax and unwind. We had two dogs with us who loved it there as well. The outside shower with hot water is really inviting after a long day on the beach. The set up of the house feels more like a private home, there are personal items here and there which make it feel super homey. It’s close to town and and the beach and we had an amazing time there. Benoit was always really responsive when we didn’t find the location right away he called us immediately do guide us and always answered the messages. We will be back!

We loved the place, very comfortable, safe and a very pleasant environment, Ben is very friendly and attentive, we are already planning our next vacation and we hope to be able to stay there again, super recommended👍🏻

Nos encantó el lugar, muy cómodo, seguro y un entorno muy agradable, Ben muy amigable y atento, ya estamos planeando nuestras próximas vacaciones y esperamos poder hospedarnos de nuevo ahí, súper recomendado👍🏻

We really liked the place, surrounded by nature, close to the beach, the outdoor shower is amazing! Very quiet and convenient to stay with children.

Nos gustó mucho el lugar, rodeado de naturaleza, cerca de la playa, la ducha al aire libre está increíble! muy tranquilo y conveniente para hospedarse con niños.

The stay was great. I only recommend cleaning the accommodation better, since everything was very dirty and checking the appliances that did not work. But everything else was perfect.

La estadía estuvo muy bien. Solo recomiendo limpiar mejor el hospedaje, ya que todo estaba muy sucio y revisar los electrodomésticos que no nos sirvieron. Pero todo lo demás estuvo perfecto.

Very good service from Ben! Great location near many beautiful beaches.

Muy buena atención de Ben! Excelente ubicación cerca de muchas playas hermosas.

We had an amazing 8-night stay! The house is super private, very spacious, and perfect for families. We loved the terrace and pool, and the kids had a great time. Everything was comfortable and convenient – big cozy bed upstairs, kids’ room downstairs, A/C in the bedrooms, plus washing machine, dryer, and Netflix. Loved the jungle outdoor shower.The mid-stay cleaning was a great bonus. Everything was perfect — highly recommended! Benoit was super friendly, thank you !

Great place with a very good value for money. Benoit is very responsive and quick. The area is wonderful!

Thanks to fellow countryman Benoît for his accommodation in a magical place, with all the good tips, perfect for families, great pool, close by car to Playa Grande beach. I recommend without reservation

Merci au compatriote Benoît pour son logement dans un endroit magique, avec tous les bons tips, parfait pour les familles, super piscine, proche en voiture de la plage de playa grande. je recommande sans réserve

Very quiet and nice place to rest and spend time with the family.

Lugar muy tranquilo y agradable para descansar y pasar en familia.

what a beautiful home! my sister and I enjoyed this stay the most out of our 3 different places we stayed throughout our week in Costa Rica. very private, and lots of space on the property. shared pool was a big plus, even though it is shared and there were others staying in the other house on the property we never crossed paths. The patio was another great highlight, looks just like the pictures and the outdoor shower was so relaxing to have. Thanks Benoit!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is super funky and well equipped, really enjoyed the outdoor living and felt like home away from home. Loved the pool area surrounded by lots of palms and beautiful greenery. Very peaceful.

amazing place! very private and clean. the host was responsive and had great recommendations. would love to come back and stay again!

A lovely place that is close to everything. The drive is easy.  Just a few minute drive to the beach, which was stunning. We were the only people on the beach at low tide, which made it look expansive. The primary bed was comfortable and the bathroom was well-equipped (we didn’t use the second bedroom).  Wished there was a door on the primary bathroom, but we made it work.  The A/C in the bedroom worked very well. One of the highlights was the friendly kitty.  We called her “Waffles” during our stay, but found out later that her real name is “Tubita.”  The kitchen is fairly well-equipped with a toaster, great fridge, and an air fryer.  No microwave.  The kitchen needed a few repairs, but was absolutely useable and of a good size (perfect for families). There are multiple fans, which made it quite comfortable.  The pool looked inviting, but there were repairs going on. Overall, we would definitely come back.  Ben was a gracious host and was very responsive.  Thank you, Ben!

Ben was an amazing host and the place was spectacular. It has very good vibes and plenty to do at the home. He was very accommodating for us to make sure we were able to secure our luggage and communication was great. We would book again and it was great for our kids.

We looked for a nice place away from the city and we  found this nice villa  like inside the jungle  quite and pastoral  , my partner loved it so much we will visit there for sure at the near future,

The place is beautiful, really close to the beach, and close to restaurants and a mini market. Benoit was a great host, always answered on time. Will definitely be back to stay here.

Great place, close to Playa Grande and Playa Flamingo/Potrero. Feels private and is surrounded by nature in a great property! We stayed with our pet and it had tons of space to sniff and explore. Benoit was responsible and flexible, would come back!

Beautiful house with terrace and pool, very close to the great playa with enchanting sunsets. Benoit who was away during our stay, was reachable remotely for information and to find solutions to the small misadventure that we experienced. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle was magical:) As a bonus, an adorable playful red cat who will certainly welcome you to the terrace and ask for pets:)

Belle maison avec terrasse et piscine, très proche de la playa grande aux couchers de soleil enchanteurs. Benoit qui etait absent lors de notre sejour, a été joignable à distance pour des informations et pour trouver des solutions à la petite mésaventure que l on vécue. Se réveiller avec les bruits de la jungle a été magique :) En bonus, un adorable chat roux bien joueur qui vous souhaitera certainement la bienvenue sur la terrasse et vous réclamera des caresses :)

We had a fabulous day at Ben’s. We found Ben very available and easy to communicate with. The space was perfect for three of us. We enjoyed the cats daily visits and showing us where the cat food was kept by banging the door until we opened it lol . There was a water issue during our stay and Ben worked hard to resolve it and provided a temporary solution. Thank you, Ben. There are a few minor items that could use some repairs which I’m sure will be taken care of promptly. We would highly recommend staying at Ben’s place.

We stayed at Ben’s place for 2 weeks in March, fantastic experience. The place was great for my 2 daughters and I. Ben was only a txt away with recommendations, and help along the way. Great Surf instructor as well! Definitely be back to enjoy all that Costa Rica has too offer Thanks Ben!!

We stayed at Benoit's for 10 days. Close to the beach. We did some sightseeing and on the way back we felt at home. Quiet place. The air conditioning was very much appreciated in the room. Arbol de la vida is aptly named, there are a multitude of birds there. Benoit was always available to respond to our requests. Thanks also to Jander for his help.

Nous avons séjourné 10 jours chez Benoit. A proximité de la plage. Nous avons fait quelques excursions et au retour nous nous sentions comme à la maison. Endroit tranquille. La climatisation fut très appréciée dans la chambre. Arbol de la vida porte bien son nom, il y a une multitude d'oiseaux qui s'y trouve. Benoit était toujours disponible pour répondre à nos demandes. Merci aussi à Jander pour son aide.

Relaxing place. Beautiful garden. Very beautiful house.

Endroit relaxante. Magnifique jardin. Très belle maison.

We had a great time. The property is as described, comfortable, friendly and intimate. The beautiful beach and local shops are easily accessible, more or less a 20-minute walk away. Benoit and Gender, were responsive to our requests.

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour. La propriété est tel que décrite, confortable, convivial et intime. La superbe plage et les commerces locaux sont facilement accessibles, à plus ou moins 20 minutes de marche. Benoit et Gender, étaient réactif à nos demandes.

Beautiful house, in an idyllic setting surrounded by nature. I highly recommend it!

Superbe maison, dans un cadre idyllique en pleine nature. Je recommande vivement !

The outdoor environment (terrace and pool) is really beautiful. Benoît is friendly, proactive and shared several recommendations with us.

L'environnement extérieur (terrasse et piscine) est vraiment magnifique. Benoît est sympathique, proactif et nous a partagé plusieurs recommandations.

Great spot, we really enjoyed our time at Ben’s - the area felt private, quiet and the pool was perfect for those hot days. Just a note of caution regarding the area- We were unable to check in early after arriving from the airport, so went to the beach at playa ventanas to wait. Arrived back to our car to find it broken into and many things stolen. Don’t be like us, take everything valuable with you. Other than that rocky start, our stay in the area was great.

Benoit was a very good host: he responded to our questions and messages with a good attitude and providing support, help and recommendations when requested - thank you Benoit!

Benoit fue un muy buen host: respondía a nuestras preguntas y mensajes con buena actitud y brindando soporte, ayuda y recomendaciones cuando se las solicitamos -gracias Benoit!

We were 2 couples and we had a great time at Benoît's house. The house, the garden, the vegetation, the swimming pool, the accessibility to the surrounding shops and the beach, everything was really superb! Benoît is extremely friendly and helped us a lot throughout our stay with great accessibility and very simple communication. he gave us a lot of advice! A big thank you again Benoît for your very warm welcome and looking forward to seeing you again! All 4 of us very highly recommend Benoît's house in Playa Grande, a real haven of peace 🌞

Nous étions 2 couples et nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison de Benoît. La maison, le jardin, la végétation, la piscine, l'accessibilité aux commerces environnants et à la plage, tout était vraiment superbe ! Benoît est extrêmement amical et nous a beaucoup aidé tout au long de notre séjour avec une grande accessibilité et une communication très simple. il nous a beaucoup conseillé ! un grand merci Benoît encore pour ton accueil très chaleureux et au grand plaisir de te recroiser ! Nous recommandons tous les 4 très vivement la maison de Benoît à Playa Grande, un vrai havre de paix 🌞

It was a perfect stay! Since we didn't have a car, Benoit even picked us up in the neighboring village. He gave us great tips for the best beaches and hiking trails, was always relaxed and friendly. The house, pool and decor are tasteful, the kids and we loved it! Thanks a lot, come back anytime!

Es war ein perfekter Aufenthalt! Da wir kein Auto hatten, hat Benoit uns sogar im Nachbarort abgeholt. Er hat uns super Tipps für die besten Strände und Wanderwege gegeben, war immer entspannt und freundlich. Das Haus, der Pool und die Einrichtung sind geschmackvoll, die kids und wir haben es geliebt! Vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

The place is just like the pictures, very nice and clean. The kitchen is very well equipped and the place is very safe. The communication with them is very good and they are very friendly. The only thing not so good, is the way to the place, they have to go in a high vehicle or 4x4 since the road is dirt and many gaps are made and at the beginning you have to climb a question that only a high vehicle can raise it, as long as it does with impulse. But I recommend the place 100% has been one of the most beautiful I've been to

El lugar es tal cual las fotos, muy bonito y limpio. La cocina muy bien equipada y el lugar es muy seguro. La comunicación con ellos es muy buena y son muy amables. Lo único no tan bueno, es el camino al lugar, tienen que ir en un vehículo alto o 4x4 ya que la carretera es de tierra y se hacen muchos huecos y al inicio hay que subir una cuestita que solo un vehículo alto puede subirla, siempre y cuando lo haga con impulso. Pero recomiendo el lugar al 100% ha sido de los más bonitos en los que he estado

He was always super friendly, he answered us very quickly and helped us to research places or transportation! Super amazing communication and in the best way!!

Siempre fue súper amable, nos respondía súper rápido y nos ayudaba a investigar lugares o transporte! Comunicación súper increíble y de la mejor manera!!

We loved Benoit’s place! We are two Costa Ricans + a baby that live abroad. For our holidays, we wanted a peaceful location, surrounded by vegetation and close to our favorite beaches in Guanacaste! And this accommodation exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!!! :)

We loved staying in this house! The mornings on the balcony with the field of birds and the animals around were soothing. The house is really warm and it immediately feels at home. The house is well located near good little restaurants. It's easier to get to the beach by car, about 5 minutes away. Thanks to Benoit for his speed when there is an issue. We'll definitely be back!

Nous avons adoré séjourner dans cette maison ! Les matins sur le balcon avec le champ des oiseaux et les animaux autours étaient apaisants. La maison est vraiment chaleureuse et on s’y sent immédiatement chez soi. La maison est bien située près de bons petits restaurants. Il est plus facile d’aller à la plage en voiture, environ à 5 minutes. Merci à Benoit pour sa rapidité lorsqu’il y a un problème. Nous reviendrons certainement !

We felt very comfortable in the house. The set up decor had its own charm and made the stay very cozy. The newly furnished air conditioning in the bedrooms was great! However, we had some animal roommates who got in quickly through the missing windows and doors.

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Die zusammengestellte Einrichtung hatte seinen eigenen Charme und hat den Aufenthalt sehr gemütlich gemacht. Die neu eingerichtete Klimaanlage in den Schlafzimmern war super! Allerdings hatten wir einige tierische Mitbewohner, die durch die fehlenden Fenster und Türen schnell hereingekommen sind.

Beautiful place to feel like a part of Costa Rica. The best beaches were within a mile and way less crowded than Tamarindo. Great local restaurants within a mile, you could easily walk to them. So many great things about this house and location! The addition of air conditioning to the bedrooms was a huge plus during our stay since it was pretty hot. The sounds of howler monkeys in the evenings and mornings will be tough to beat.

Ive stayed here before and love it so much I came back 3 years later. They’re doing renovations so I’m sure its going to get even better! This place is private & peaceful. Close to the beach and restaurants. We had a great time here and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for everything :)

This place breathes peace. Beautiful surroundings, walking distance to Playa Grande and Ventanas. Ben is super friendly and always ready to make you feel right at home.

It was a beautiful place, had a very relaxed vibe and even though there was construction being done near by the noise was barely noticeable and it felt like you were the only people around. The road to get to the location was not great but that is to be expected in Costa Rica. We loved that we were able to walk to the beach and enjoy few of the local restaurants and bakeries.

The house is very well equipped and is perfect, to have a good time there. I love that it has a pool and the same way they are petfriendly, normally barely petfriendly, it no longer has a pool To get there if it is recommended to have a 4x4 car, because when it rains the street gets very slippery and the holes get great.

La casa es muy bien equipada y es perfecta, para pasar un buen rato allí. Me encanta que tiene piscina y igual forma son petfriendly, normalmente apenas que es petfriendly, ya no tiene piscina. Para llegar si es recomendado tener un carro 4x4, porque cuando llueve la calle se pone muy resbalosa y los huecos se ponen bien grandes.

We love the house! The nature where it is located, the cleanliness of the place and the organization. We just loved it!

Amamos la casa! La naturaleza donde está situada, la limpieza del lugar y la organización. Simplemente nos encantó!

excellent place to stay in Playa grande. very nice place. 100% recommended

Our family really enjoyed our stay! It’s a beautiful and unique property. We felt safe and welcomed there, especially by the property caretaker and communicative host. We traveled during the wet season, so it was nice to retreat to the home, which still felt open to the amazing surroundings. We felt relieved with renting the 4x4 to explore the area, especially in the rainy season. Would stay there again!

The place was nice. Location was very quiet but the road was very muddy because of the rain so you kind of need a 4x4 car. The only thing that bother our group was that it was very hot and no A/C (it was listed on Benoit’s description). It was very hard to sleep in that heat. Also, be prepared to get bitten by then mosquitos and have lizards inside the house . The bathroom by the kitchen under the stairs was not very comfortable because it was on an incline and  2 people of group were taller than 6 feet so technically we ended up using 1 bathroom . Other than that, it was very clean & host was very responsive.

Our stay at Benoit's place was very pleasant. The bedroom upstairs is great,  it has lots of space and the bed is big enough that  2 adults and a 6 year old can sleep comfortably. The property is very nice and private.  Our communication with Benoit and Jander was very good.

Absolutely amazing space. Can't recommend enough!!! One of the highlights of our entire trip!

We had such a beautiful time here- the pictures don't do it justice! If you want to get a local experience, i highly recommend staying here!

The access is complicated by the terracería, the heat is too much due to the lack of air-conditioning and the water was unstable. The place is cute.  The guard was attentive at all times and made me feel attended

El acceso está complicado por la terracería, el calor es demasiado por la falta de aire acondicionado y el agua era inestable. El lugar es lindo.  El guardia fue atento en cada momento y me hizo sentir atendido

We had a great time, house was in a nice quiet location, walkable to restaurants and beach. Nice pool and good value for money.

We had an exciting time in the cottage. The outdoor shower and pool were fantastic. We had very hot tropical days. For us, the fans were not sufficient, especially at night, as it was too warm for us. The facility was very private and we were on our own. With salamanders, ants and also the cats, we got along very well thanks to Jendra. Short interruptions of the water pipe were quickly resolved. Jendra does a great job, thank you for that! Benoit takes the original Airbnb thought seriously and rents out his own great house! Great!

Wir hatten eine spannende Zeit in dem Ferienhaus. Die aussendusche und der Pool waren phantastisch. Wir hatten sehr heiße tropische Tage. Für uns waren die Ventilatoren insbesondere nachts nicht ausreichend, da es uns zu warm war. Die Anlage war sehr privat und wir waren für uns alleine. Mit Salamandern, Ameisen und auch den Katzen kamen wir dank Jendra sehr gut zurecht. Kurze Unterbrechungen der Wasserleitung waren schnell behoben. Jendra macht einen tollen Job, danke dafür! Benoit nimmt den ursprünglichen Airbnb Gedanken ernst und vermietet sein eigenes tolles Haus! Super!

Private, great place,  pool was perfect. 2 story house, no a/c , front door lock did not work was asked to enter through the back. Would recommend if not concerned about the a/c and the fact that shower and master br on second floor.

Beautiful house, beautiful property. Very relaxing. Both Ben and Jander were very responsive to any needs or questions we had. The kids loved the boat trip and snorkeling. Close to the beach, but far enough away to feel secluded. The only negative was that we couldn’t stay longer!

This house is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in for airbnb.  The furnishings are and decorations are truly personal and its clear this property is a labor of love.  The location is great for a quiet secluded beach vacation.  Playa Grande is a beautiful expanse of beach with few people.   Host and manager were very proactive in offering help.  I would return and stay longer next time.

Loved staying here for our first couple nights in Costa Rica. The pool area felt very private, the yard was gorgeous and the whole vibe of the place was peaceful and laid back. Just what we needed.

Benoit and his staff were very hospitable!  The property was exactly as described.  Beautiful property and nicely maintained. The location was perfect!  I have celiac disease so a nicely appointed kitchen is a must for me and this did not disappoint.  There was the initial concern of no AC that others have mentioned. However, this was not an issue as there were plenty of fans + a gorgeous back porch to spend time on. As always, I wanted true Costa Rica and to be enmeshed with nature.  This did not disappoint while providing top-notch amenities.  We’ll be back!

Incredible location minutes from the beach, landscape designed to embody La Pura Vida, and the house is casual and modest in accommodation. Pool is epic place to relax and cool off. Enjoyed the private and quiet place.

we had a wonderful time in Benoits beautiful house. the interior is beautiful, the beds comfortable and the garden is a small paradise, with beautiful plants and animals. we would definitely recommend staying there. the communication was easy and very helpful. the kitchen was not super clean and the house is perfect for a couple (plus child), because all bathrooms are open. we were travelling with 3 friends.

Great home and easy to walk to the beach. As well as the restaurants around the corner (shout out to pots and bowls). Would come back any time!

Benoit’s home was the perfect place for our family vacation.  While we enjoyed the sun and surf of beautiful Playa Grande, the  pool and grounds at the house were an excellent respite from the heat. The fans and large shaded porch kept the place cool  and comfortable. Jander the grounds keeper was very attentive to any of our needs. We would recommend Benoits place to other families.

a very nice space, with a good location. The property is very nice, with many spaces to rest and a very good swimming pool.

un espacio muy muy lindo, con una buena ubicación. La finca es muy bonita, con muchos espacios para descansar y una piscina muy buena.

Benoit's place is in a really beautiful setting that is thoughtfully laid out. They go above and beyond to make sure that your stay is comfortable. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great for those looking to experience Playa Grande. Perfect for a group of surfers.

This place was gorgeous! Very private and peaceful! Access to expansive beach with hardly anyone there! Caretaker was very helpful and available for whatever we needed. He even walked us to the beach to make sure we found it okay. Benoit had lots of resources printed of activities and all the area offered, and was responsive to messages and answering questions. Wish we could have stayed longer! I’d love to come back here again!

Wonderful house with a great garden and a beautiful pool. The kitchen is well equipped for Self-catering and decor is tasteful and individual. Benoeit is very friendly and had good tips for the area. The house is just outside , you definitely need the car to the beach and to the place. We had a great week there. Immediately back

Wunderschönes Haus mit tollem Garten und schönem Pool. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet zur Selbstversorgung und die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll und individuell. Benoeit ist sehr freundlich und hatte gute Tipps für die Umgebung. Das Haus ist etwas außerhalb , man braucht auf jeden Fall das Auto zum Strand und in den Ort. Wir hatten eine tolle Woche dort. Sofort wieder

The best part of the area without a doubt!!! The stay was perfect , the house is wonderful, everything is perfect for rest and relaxation.

El mejor de la zona sin duda alguna!!! La estadía fue perfecta , la casa es maravillosa, todo es perfecto para descansar y relajarse.

An incredible place to disconnect and relax. Recommended 100% We hope to return soon :)

Absolutely fantastic spot!  Will recommend to anyone looking to stay in the playa grande area.

excellent place and services, the person in charge is very friendly and thoughtful

excelente lugar y servicios, la persona a cargo es muy amable y atento

We loved our peaceful stay. It was perfect for our family and would love to come back someday soon! Planning on recommending to friends with upcoming travels as well!

The house was comfy, area to relax outside surrounded by trees, we loved the pool. The house is Walking distance from restaurants and beaches. The house caretaker met us upon arrival and was helpful during our stay. We had some temporary issues with water and electricity going out but it was most likely caused by rain storm we had one day. One thing to note, the place has screen sliding doors in the living area and bedroom. These are nice because it allows you to have views and helps with the house not getting stuffy. However, we did have a situation where some cats kept trying to get inside and they managed to get in by making holes on screen door and one of the screens wouldn’t lock so we had to find something to blocks the cats out. Overall great place!

The attention was very good, the place loved me, beautiful, quiet, the pool is too beautiful. Everything was fine.

La atención fue muy buena, el lugar me encanto, hermoso, tranquilo, la piscina es demasiado hermosa. Todo estuvo muy bien.

Excellent stay; I felt safe and the place is beautiful. Definitely a place to rest and have a good time. Love that they accept pets

Excelente estadía; me sentí segura y el lugar es bellísimo. Definitivamente un lugar para descansar y pasarla bien. Me encanta que acepten mascotas

Excellent private place, highly recommended, as is the description, everything offered

Excelente lugar privado muy recomendado talcual la descripcion lo todo lo ofrecido

It's exactly as the pictures show, very close to the beach, too much space for pets, very safe. Very well-equipped and in very good condition

Es exactamente como muestran las fotos, muy cerca de la playa, demasiado espacio para mascotas, muy segura. Muy equipada y en muy buenas condiciones

Benoit's house is so cool! Both the decor and the spaces. To get there you have to follow a dirt road but be able to take a view and be able to bathe on the porch and/or the pool is worth it! :)

La casa de'n Benoit és molt guai! Tant la decoració com els espais. Per arribar-hi has de seguir una dirt road però poder-te llevar amb vistes i poder badar al porxo i/o a la piscina s'ho val! :)

Beautiful and secluded. Pool was awesome. Property has two friendly cats who come around often. Caretaker lives on site and  was kind and courteous. House can be mostly open to the outdoors with screened sliding doors. No AC so numerous ceiling fans helped but it was still hot. Close to beach, not much else around. Outdoor shower and on site washer and dryer were super helpful after days in hot weather and at the beach.

Nice place to stay in you in a shanti mood! Close to most of restaurants, you have to like to be part of the nature

Excellent place. Surrounded by nature and close to the beach. Recommended for family trips and vacations

The place is super nice and private, it has everything you need. Great hosts. It is preferable to go by high car as the entrance to the place is ballast/earth and due to the rains there is a lot of relief and it is a bit uncomfortable to go by car.

El lugar es super bonito y privado, tiene todo lo que se necesita. Los anfitriones excelentes. Es preferible ir en carro alto, ya que la entrada al lugar es de lastre/tierra y por las lluvias hay mucho relieve y es un poco incomodo ir en automóvil.

A nice tucked-away place with access to a pool. Only a two-minute drive to the beach, and very safe. A bit hot without the A/C. The kitchen sink did leak but Jander, the caretaker, was very responsive and came over and fixed it.

excellent place, very private and very safe for pets

excelente lugar, muy privada y muy seguro para las mascotas

The good thing: The pool and the connection with nature. Well, the house does not have air conditioning, I really didn't feel like it was necessary, the fans are of excellent quality. The decor is very good and beds are comfy. Felt safe during my stay. The areas for improvement: a remote control must be purchased for the TV, we had to realize that it was turned on with the lid of a pen. The only thing that if we are bothered a little was the use of grill, the caretaker told us that if he served, we bought everything and when we went to use it to use it already tired from a day at the beach it was not useful, and the caretaker was not available. I just recommend that if it's the day off or the caregiver won't be there to let guests know. That day we had to leave at 9 pm to get to eat and everything was already closed in the village. The truth is not a big deal, but at that time it was.

Lo bueno: La piscina y la conexión con la naturaleza. Bien la casa no cuenta con aire acondicionado, realmente no sentí que hiciera falta, los abanicos son de excelente calidad. La decoración muy buena y las camas cómodas. Me sentí seguro durante mi estadía. Las áreas de mejora: se debe comprar un control remoto para la tv, tuvimos que darnos cuenta que se en encendia con la tapa de un bolígrafo. Lo único que si nos molesto un poco fue el uso de la parrilla, el cuidador nos comentó que si servía, compramos todo y cuando la fuimos a usar ya cansados de un día de playa no servía, y el cuidador no estaba disponible. Nada más recomiendo que si es el día libre o el cuidador no va a estar avisarle a los huéspedes. Ese día tuvimos que salir a las 9 pm a buscar que comer y todo ya estaba cerrado en el pueblo. No es gran cosa la verdad, pero en ese momento si lo fue.

Benoit's place is beautiful. She has her own character, which we liked. It is quite and has a beautiful outdoor area. In the evening, raccoons and a gürteltier came to visit us in the garden. Communication worked out great and someone was always there to help us with any questions. Thanks!

Die Unterkunft von Benoit ist wunderschön. Sie hat ihren ganz eigenen Charakter, welcher uns gut gefallen hat. Es ist ruhig und hat eine schöne Außenanlage. Abends kamen uns im Garten Waschbären und ein gürteltier besuchen. Die Kommunikation hat super geklappt und bei Fragen stand uns immer jemand zur Seite. Vielen Dank!

Very nice house and good location. It is usually well equipped for a stay. Jander, who takes care of the house on site, is very kind. This house is undoubtedly Benoit's. Photo of him, his family and personal belongings are all around the home, you really feel at home. This house has no windows, just mosquito nets and these are absolutely not waterproof. A huge red ant in the upper room, there was a nest in a photo album. Also, a small black furnished infestation that bites in the kitchen, Jander had to come 6 times to try to remove them. The house does not have air conditioning, it becomes extremely hot during the day, but at night it's okay. The shower towels and beach are very small and very worn, news would not be wrong. The matela of the downstairs room is directly on the springs... In spite of everything, I wanted to say that Benoit and Jander respond and intervene quickly if needed.

Très belle maison et bien situé. Elle est généralement bien équipé pour un séjour. Jander, qui s'occupe de la maison sur place, est très gentil. Cette maison est sans contredit celle de Benoit. Photo de lui, sa famille et effets personnel sont partout dans la maison, on se sent vraiment chez lui. Cette maison n'a aucune fenêtre, simplement des moustiquaires et ceux-ci ne sont absolument pas étanche. ÉNORMEMENT de fourmi rouge dans la chambre du haut, il y avait un nid dans un album photo. Aussi, infestation de petite fourni noir qui mord dans la cuisine, Jander a du venir à 6 reprises pour tenter de les retirer. La maison n'a pas d'air climatisé, ca devient extrêment chaud durant le jour, mais la nuit c'est acceptable. Les serviettes de douche et plage sont tres petites et très usé, de nouvelles ne feraient pas de tord. Le matela de la chambre du bas est directement sur les ressorts... Malgré tout, je tiens à dire que Benoit et Jander répondent et interviennent rapidement au besoin.

Merci Vincent pour votre reservation a arbol de vida.   Je tient a vous remercie pour votre commentaire et votre critique constructive mais il y a certain point dont avec lequelle je ne suis pas d accord.    Oui , ici au costa rica il faut chaud,  vous pensiez que la maison avait l air climatiser ( une erreure de votre part a la reservation mais comme c est stipuler dans l annonce la maison n a pas d air climatiser pour  l instant dans cette maison la .   C est une maison ouverte sur la nature et chaque fenetre a des mousticaire pour une excellent ventilation et des ventilateur dans toute les pieces.  Oui il fait chaud au Costa rica.  Mais la maison est extremement bien isoler et les fenetres mousticaire offre une ventilation naturelle.  Ce n est peux etre pas votre tasse de the si vous avez l habitude de l air climatiser jour et nuit.          Des Fourmis ,  je n ai n ai casi JAMAIS parce que je ne laisse pas de la nouriture trainer partout dans la cuisine.  le costa rica est un pays tropicale et si vous l aisser de la nouriture tout le temps dans la cuisine , oui les fourmis viendront.   Mais cela vous depase peux etre.      il y a des affaires personnelle comme des photos , des guitarres , batterie electrique , des skate board , des planches de surf et tout ca a disposition du client.      c est un airbnb dans le consept airbnb...loger chez l habitant.    je comprends pour les serviettes ,  des serviettes neuve sont en place pour les prochains client.

We had wonderful days in the house. Relaxing and secluded terrace and only a few minutes drive to playa grande. Very good place for R&R.

We had a great stay at Benoits place. The caretaker/ host Jander is so sweet and attentive. The place was lovely and the outdoor living room and bathroom were really cool. The shower surrounded by plants, that are lit up in the night is absolutely gorgeous. There are many wonderful beaches close by, great food, and loads of adventure. if you want freedom to explore all of the area you want to get a high clearance vehicle. Roads to some of the beaches are a bit wild. I’m so glad we stayed here, and already wish I was back there again!

We arrived 40 minutes in advance, Jander was starting the cleaning of the accommodation. He was in a hurry and did everything quickly, maybe too quickly. We could not stay without highlighting in the house. Lots of red ants in the upstairs bedroom, dirty floor. The bed in the bedroom upstairs was not comfortable, the springs were more than felt. On each large door, We had to keep the metal panels down in the evening to avoid the entry of mosquitoes and others, unfortunately very little space enters the dwelling we could not enjoy the accommodation in its entirety. The mosquito nets are not waterproof so lizards and mosquitoes enter the accommodation. The refrigerator was damaged The pool area was very pretty, but the system stopped working so it was very dirty. Please note that you feel at home. Photos and personal belongings in the accommodation.

Nous sommes arrivés 40 minutes d’avance, Jander commençait le menage du logement il était pressé et s fait le tout rapidement peut être trop rapidement. Nous ne pouvions pas rester sans souligner dans la maison. Énormément de fourmis rouge dans la chambre du haut, plancher sale. Le lit de la chambre a l’étage n’étais pas confortable, les ressorts étaient plus que ressentis. Sur chaque grande porte, Nous devions garder les panneaux de métal descendu en soirée pour éviter l’entrée des moustiques et autres, malheureusement très peu d’aire entre dans l’habitation nous ne pouvions pas profiter du logement dans son entièreté. Les moustiquaires ne sont pas étanches donc les lézards et moustiques entre dans le logement. Le frigidaire étais endommagé L’espace piscine était très jolie, par contre le système a arrêté de fonctionner donc elle était très sale. Prendre note qu’on se sent chez benoit photos et effets personnel dans le logement.
