The Space

Location
Situated just 100 meters from the beach, this villa offers direct access to the shore—step off the property and you’re on the sand. The property is located in a secluded area next to a biological reserve forest, making it an ideal retreat for rest and relaxation.
The surrounding environment is rich with native wildlife such as capuchin monkeys, iguanas, scarlet macaws, and other exotic birds and mammals.
Playa Tivives is a rural neighborhood with mostly unpaved roads, so careful driving is advised. The villa is approximately 48 miles (79 km) from San Jose’s Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). From Highway 27, take the Playa Tivives/Jesus Maria exit under the bridge and continue 4.5 miles (7 km) on a semi-paved road to reach the beach community.

wunderschönes haus an einem abgelegenen strand. das haus ist riiesig und ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht es hatte sogar ein surfbrett und miniboards für die kinder. makellos sauber, gastgeber war sehr hilfsbereit und sehr gut erreichbar. jedes zimmer mit eigenem badezimmer (3 davon ensuite und in einem davon kann man locker baseball spielen🤣). die aussicht ist wunderschön. in der gegend drumrum gibt es nicht viel, man muss etwas fahren, aber dast steht ja auch so in der beschreibung. für uns war es genau das richtige nach 10tagen Karibik und san jose. wirklich eine absolute empfehlung!

Die Unterkunft ist riesig, jedes Zimmer hat sein eigenes Bad und eine Klimaanlage, was wirklich toll ist. Die Villa ist vom Aufbau her wie beschrieben, nur gefühlt etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Als wir ankamen war es leider nicht so sauber, Amnon hat hier aber super toll reagiert und auch angeboten, am nächsten Tag die Reinigungskräfte noch mal zu schicken und sogar jemanden, der uns Frühstück gemacht hätte. In der Küche ist das Notwendigste da, vor allem die Kochutensilien sollten aber mal erneuert werden. Wir hatten insgesamt eine entspannte Zeit, die Lage direkt am Meer ist einfach genial. Amnon ist ein super Vermieter, der sich wirklich alle Mühe gibt. Ich würde die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Sie dürfte nur gerne ein wenig renoviert werden.

First off, Ami was awesome, he was extremely responsive and gave great suggestions of things to do. The house was perfect! Clean , quiet, really spacious. The pool was very clean and great fun and relaxation. We requested a breakfast cook and enjoyed so much that we had her come back for lunch. I suggest buying groceries ahead of time. We had a great time. For those that don’t mind traveling to go to excursions this is a great place to stay. Had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful stay, everything was as described in the Airbnb. The location is very remote, it is truly a piece of paradise that you can relax privately. We took a couple excursions to Jaco, we took a monkey tour, and a suspension bridge, waterfall hike both were breathtaking. These were scheduled by Diego with D-Tours he was amazing and treated us like royalty, I would highly recommend getting in tough with him if you are looking to take an excursion. Jaco is about an hour drive. Ami was great always available to answer any questions we had, he was flexible with check in and out times. We had Yendry cook for us a few days , she was amazing, the food she prepared was fantastic. I hope to be able to make a return trip, I would certainly stay there again.

We spent 5 wonderful nights at this Tivives Beach house with our family of 6. The location is the highlight - peaceful neighborhood with easy beach access and breathtaking sunsets every evening. Perfect for tranquility away from tourist areas. The house is spacious and comfortable with a nice pool the kids loved. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The absolute star: Yendry's cooking! Her traditional Costa Rican meals were incredible - from daily casados to the special New Year's Eve dinner. Restaurant-quality food with warm, professional service. This truly made our vacation special! Amnon was responsive and helpful throughout. Important tip: Do grocery shopping BEFORE arriving - very few restaurants nearby with limited hours. Stock up in a larger town on your way. Consider booking Yendry's services - absolutely worth it! Minor improvement: Water pressure in showers could be stronger. Overall: Beautiful, peaceful getaway with stunning sunsets and exceptional home-cooked cuisine.

Beautiful location and house. So private! The house is so spacious, pool is fantastic and beyond awesome sunsets. The restaurant just up the road, Costa Linda, is absolutely fantastic. We would also highly recomend the cook! So convenient and great local food!

He estado en varias propiedades de alquiler en Tivives, sin dudarlo esta es la mejor. La propiedad es tal cual se ve en las fotos. La vista desde el comedor es muy relajante. Sin duda volveremos.

The host was incredibly flexible about checking in to accommodate an early flight arrival and responded immediately to my myriads of pre-trip questions. The home looks just like the photos and was gorgeous. It worked perfectly for our family of five, including three adolescent teens who each appreciated their own room. We did opt for the in-house cooking, which was amazing. She stocked our fridge with essentials and cooked us amazing and huge breakfasts and lunches. The food was so good! We ate so much each day that we happily packed on a few pounds during our stay. We just couldn't let anything go to waste and had leftovers for dinner. We visited in early July and the beach itself was a little tricky. With daily rains, the water was murky from the nearby estuary. Seas were rough. During some tides, we were able to wade into the ocean but couldn't actually swim at this location. I did not love the tanker ships anchored offshore. Tons of trash & micro-plastics on the beach, yuk.
