Beau séjour à la villa… 2 familles avec 5 enfants… Les enfants dans le logement séparé et les adultes avec leurs parties privatives séparées ont été appréciées… Superbe piscine et jardin et villa bien située dans un quartier sécuritaire et près de la plage… Seul bémol, les chiens sont très actifs dans le quartier et jappent très tôt le matin, donc ceux qui aiment faire la grasse matinée risquent de trouver cela dérangeant…Par contre, on peut apercevoir des singes hurleurs, des iguanes, des perroquets et des lézards à même le quartier pour les amoureux de la faune…

Adam’s place was PERFECT for our family of eight to spend the holidays. It was exactly as described and included all the amenities needed to live and cook for our eight day stay! We were so pleased with the location. It was peaceful and close to the beach and restaurants but was just a short walk/golf cart away from Tamarindo for more activity when needed!

We were there for a family vacation. There was plenty of room and everything we needed. We were just far away from the main area so it was quiet. Golf carts were our mode of transportation for the weekend. Felt safe because of the system of locks from the front gate to the doors.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Adam's home in Playa Longosta. The grounds are beautiful and the house was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Claudia was responsive and able to answer our questions when needed. We would definitely stay here again and hope to be back here again in the future!

Amazing place in one of best spots. There are a couple of good restaurants near by, pizza El Sapo is world class. House is walking distance from downtown. We highly recommend this place, it is spacious, surrounded by nature and layout of the house is perfect!
