The Full Life House - Houses for Rent in Artola, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We really had a great time, and the place was beautiful.

la.verdad la pasamos muy bien y el lugar hermoso

I am a repeat guest. This place is awesome. The owners are even better. If you want private with beauty coupled with amazing hosts and locals, this is the one.

Excellent place; the sunsets and sunrises were the best. A spectacular and clean place; the swimming pool was what I enjoyed the most.

Excelente lugar, los atardeceres y amaneceres fueron lo mejor. Un lugar espectacular y limpio , la piscina fue lo que más disfruté.

Beautiful house fully loaded, pictures don't do justice and Kristina was very great to deal with !

Kristina's place exceeded our expectations!  Lots of space inside and outside.  Very private area.  We felt right at home, the moment we arrived.  Beautiful, spacious outdoor area.  The pool was perfect for the grandchildren and the adults in our group.  Thanks so much Kristina!! We would definitively stay here again.

My family and I had a wonderful time! We will definitely visit again. PS My 4 dogs loved it also!

This was my second time staying on this house, and my family and I had an amazing time here, the house was perfect and the communication with the owner was super smooth! I definitely plan to come back here more often!!

We'd love to host you and your family again! Hopefully next time all of you will be able to come for the whole stay. Kristina

We had a great time, everything was super well organized and the facilities of the house were excellent, we always had immediate attention in case we needed something. Recommended.

La pasamos muy bien, todo súper bien organizado y las facilidades de la casa excelente, siempre tuvimos atención inmediata en caso de necesitar algo. Recomedado.

It is an incredibly beautiful, private place and the best thing is the excellent communication through the AIRBNB APP with the managers, they respond quickly, are extremely friendly and very cordial! The place is magnificent and super private! A dream, highly recommended! The place has everything you need for a comfortable stay! Thank you! We hope to visit you again very soon❤️ Highly recommended! 💞

Es un lugar increíblemente hermoso, privado y lo mejor es la excelente comunicación por medio de la APP AIRBNB con los encargados, responden rápido, sumamente amables y muy cordiales! El lugar es magnífico y super privado! Un sueño, super recomendado! El lugar tiene todo lo que se necesita para una estadía cómoda! Gracias! Esperamos visitarlos de nuevo muy pronto❤️ Súper recomendado! 💞

Kristina's Airbnb is spectacular, my family had a great time and we are definitely planning our next trip to come back. Super recommended

El Airbnb de Kristina es espectacular, mi familia la paso muy bien y definitivamente estamos planeando el próximo viaje para volver. Super recomendado

Very nice and large house, well decorated and equipped and very clean. The bedding is comfortable. The exteriors (garden, terrace and swimming pool) are very well equipped. The environment is calm and quiet. Access by road can be difficult, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Kristina was responsive, available and caring. We were delighted with our stay at his house. We would recommend it without hesitation!

Très belle et grande maison, bien décorée et équipée et très propre. La literie est confortable. Les extérieurs (jardin, terrasse et piscine) sont très bien aménagés. L’environnement est calme et silencieux. L’accès par le chemin peut être difficile, un véhicule 4x4 est conseillé. Kristina a été réactive, disponible et bienveillante. Nous avons été ravis de notre séjour dans sa maison. Nous la recommandons sans hésitation!

I had a wonderful stay! The property is incredibly private and peaceful — perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. It’s also very quiet, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Security is excellent, and I felt completely safe throughout my stay. A big plus is that the place is pet-friendly, which made traveling with my furry companion so much easier. The host was great and made everything simple from check-in to check-out. I’d absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for comfort, privacy, and peace of mind.

Here's a review proposal for Airbnb: ⸻ From the beginning, communication with the host was excellent. The house is fully equipped and has clear instructions for using everything, making it perfect for enjoying without wanting to leave the place. We had a small problem with the gas from the grill, but when we reported it, the host responded immediately and in a matter of minutes we were already enjoying our family barbecue. Definitely a place we'd love to go back to.

Aquí tienes una propuesta de reseña para Airbnb: ⸻ Desde el inicio, la comunicación con la anfitriona fue excelente. La casa está totalmente equipada y cuenta con instrucciones claras para el uso de todo, lo que la hace perfecta para disfrutar sin querer salir del lugar. Tuvimos un pequeño inconveniente con el gas de la parrilla, pero al comunicarlo, la anfitriona respondió de inmediato y en cuestión de minutos ya estábamos disfrutando de nuestro asado en familia. Sin duda, un lugar al que regresaríamos encantados.

We had a great stay at Kristina’s Airbnb! The home was spacious and comfortable, and it worked out perfectly for our large family. The location was beautiful and convenient, and we really enjoyed having access to the pool during our trip. Kristina was responsive and welcoming, and check-in was smooth and easy. We had a wonderful time overall and would absolutely consider staying here again in the future. Thank you, Kristina, for hosting us!

The place is beautiful and they have a very nice house, unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by several details from the beginning. When we arrived (3:30 pm), there was no water and until I wrote to the person in charge, they notified us of the problem and asked us to look for another place to stay (which is understandable), however, from some things seen in the house, it was obvious that the problem was already known, so it would have been better to notify us before arriving at the place and also to start looking for another place to stay at 5:00 pm, when we were also with 3 dogs (this makes the search for places very complicated) We had to stay that night, because by that time, the options we had were available until the next day, which the person we spoke to didn't like, as they wanted us to leave that same day. Our experience was not pleasant, however I think it was an isolated incident, with a problem that was not handled well.

El lugar es precioso y tienen una casa muy linda, lamentablemente nuestra experiencia se vio opacada por varios detalles desde el inicio. Cuando llegamos (3:30pm), no había agua y hasta que yo escribí a la persona encargada nos avisaron del problema y nos pidieron que mejor buscáramos otro hospedaje para movilizarnos (cosa que se entiende), sin embargo por algunas cosas vistas en la casa era obvio que ya se sabía del problema, por lo que hubiese sido mejor avisarnos antes de llegar al lugar y además ponernos a las 5:00 pm a buscar otro hospedaje, cuando además andábamos con 3 perritos ( esto complica mucho la búsqueda lugares) Tuvimos que quedarnos esa noche, ya que por la hora, las opciones que teníamos estaban disponibles hasta el día siguiente, lo que no le agradó a la persona con la que hablamos, ya que quería que nos fuéramos desde ese mismo día. Nuestra experiencia no fue agradable, sin embargo pienso que fue algo aislado, con un problema que no se supo manejar bien.

Great stay - the pool and landscaping is amazing. Right around sunset you can watch fireflies behind the pool.

My family and I absolutely loved this house and will definitely stay here again..When I tell you they had this place stocked with things you wouldn't even think about.  The house was super clean. The pool is big and beautiful,  we had the privacy we wanted. The hosts kept in touch and kept us updated from start to finish, and responded to all my questions immediately.  Amazing experience, I recommend it 100%.

Simply put this place is great. We were doing a short three day trip from our home in Monteverde. With as rainy as it’s been at home we were eager for some sun/pool/beach. It was my wife, 3 kiddos, and two French bulldogs. I guess the first thing that stood out was just how clean the place was. We were greeted by Lu, the manager. She promptly gave us a tour and left us to it. There was an issue with the front gate upon arriving (it wouldn’t close). Lu and the host quickly remedied the issue. The size of the place was amazing for us as our places in the mountains combined do not even equal half of this place. The kiddos LOVED the pool, my wife and I LIVED the deck, and the doggos LOVED the cool tile floors. When Abner (the guy who came to fix the gate) told us about Hellohanny restaurant (and that he would deliver it), we opted for this for dinner the first night. It was SO good we had it again on night 3. All in all, great spot. Great host.

This is beautiful house and you can feel like home very easily. It was a peaceful place and it's kids friendly too. They have some pool toys that my nieces loved them.

It’s hard to explain in words how much we loved staying at this house! It is in a perfect location, peaceful and private but close enough to everything you need. The house is set up perfect with everything you need. It was a last minute rental, but it is one of my favorite. So glad we found this place. And the hosts were so accommodating and exceptional at recommendations! We will absolutely be back ❤️

We are so glad we could open the house to you! I’m glad you enjoyed the house as much as we do. It’s hard to describe on air bnb: peaceful, secluded, but a perfect spot to explore from. We’d love to host you guys again!

The house is spectacular, large and with fine details. The attention at all times was smooth, if I had any questions or requests it was addressed right away. The pool is the best place in the house, it is very beautiful.

La casa es espectacular, grande y con detalles finos. La atención en todo momento fue fluida, si tenía alguna duda o solicitud fue atendida de inmediato. La piscina es el mejor lugar de la casa, es muy bella.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de la Vida Plena.  The home was spacious with comfortable beds and a kitchen that had all the tools needed to enjoy some home cooked meals.  The backyard pool area scored the biggest points for us. Having a private pool was a big must have and it did not disappoint.  The entire outdoor space was beautiful, peaceful, private and so relaxing.  The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had.  A great experience overall!

This is a beautiful house made into an oasis. After a day at the numerous local beaches, or exploring towns, or adventuring, it incredibly to return to a private mountain home with all the comforts of home but so much more. The pool with gorgeous lighting at night, bar stools in the pool, rancho, amazing back patio, comfortable furnishings, AC through out the house make this a delightful stay. It feels very secure to be behind a locked gate, also. The benefits of this particular location: it’s a great jumping off point to multiple beaches- between 15 minutes to 45 to some of the best beaches in Guanacaste. It’s close to Liberia airport (less than 45 minutes) which is a breeze typically to fly in and out of. There are multiple adventure places right around the corner- whether Diamanté, Congo Trail, horseback riding. Beaches we visited while staying at this particular house: Matapalo (closest), Hermosa, Coco, Portrero, and drove to Las Catalinas. Need all wheel drive in rainy season

Very beautiful home and very well-maintained. The kitchen was well appointed with all the conveniences you would want. The pool was pristine with lots of fun pool toys. The design of the property was such that you didn’t even hear the pool motor. Interior design had excellent interior decorations to reflect Costa Rica. No doubt we will return again one day!

It is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! It is pet friendly and the best part of all is that you can truly take your pets with no risk of them escaping because the house is closed, there is enough space for them to play and the best part is that there are no neighbors or anyone who can be uncomfortable with them!! In addition, the house is extremely comfortable, you find absolutely everything you need and even extra things, such as pool games, board games, various condiments in the kitchen, all the appliances you need, cloths, sheets, etc!! the location seemed ideal for moving to other beaches but far enough away from neighbors to have a private stay. The slab street was the house if it's a little tricky, but with a high car we were fine. Lu is very attentive and allowed us to arrive earlier and leave a little later, which we really appreciate, because we were even able to work for a while on the last day! highly recommended, I look forward to coming back!

Es el mejor Airbnb en el que me he quedado! es pet friendly y lo mejor de todo es que verdaderamente puedes llevar a tus mascotas sin riesgos de que se escapen porque la casa es cerrada, hay suficiente espacio para que jueguen y lo mejor es que no hay vecinos ni nadie que se pueda incomodar con ellos!! Además, la casa es sumamente cómoda, encuentras absolutamente todo lo q necesitas e inclusive cosas extra, como juegos de piscina, juegos de mesa, condimentos variados en la cocina, todos los electrodomésticos que necesitas, paños, sábanas etc!! la ubicación nos pareció ideal para movilizarnos a otras playas, pero lo suficientemente alejado de vecinos para tener una estancia privada. La calle de lastre hacía la casa si es un poco complicada, pero con un carro alto estuvimos bien. Lu muy atenta y nos permitió llegar antes y salir un poco más tarde, lo cual agradecemos muchísimo, porque inclusive pudimos trabajar un rato el último día! súper recomendada, espero volver!

The house is very beautiful and spacious, perfectly equipped, the pool is very nice, there is a lot of beaches nearby, we highly recommend it, important, keep in mind that the path from the main entrance to the house is not in the best condition, since it is a project that is in process, also cell service or internet is difficult. Lu is very attentive, we are very grateful.

La casa es muy bella y espaciosa, perfectamente equipada, la piscina muy linda, hay gran cantidad de playas cerca, la recomendamos mucho, importante, tener presente que el camino desde la entrada principal a la casa no está en las mejores condiciones, ya que es un proyecto que esta en proceso, también el servicio celular o Internet es difícil. Lu es muy atenta, estamos muy agradecidos.

The place is excellent, sometimes the pictures don't do the place justice. Access if it can be a bit difficult for small cars in the rainy season, but it is accessible. The cabins if they are a little loose and loud, need some adjustments. Tip: Maybe take advantage of the space in the other rooms for a nest litter.

El lugar es excelente, a veces las fotos no le hacen justicia al lugar. El acceso si puede resultar un poco difícil para carros pequeños en temporada de lluvia, pero es accesible. Los camarotes si están un poco flojos y hacen mucho ruido, necesitan unos ajustes. Sugerencia: tal vez aprovechar el espacio en las otras habitaciones para una camada tipo nido.

Beautiful and private house in the back of the beaches around Coco. The house is big, all rooms are very spacy and the outside area and the pool are amazing.

Our kids loved the pool and the water toys were readily available around the pool. The weather was really hot so the pool was a definite plus which was cleaned almost daily during our stay. There were plenty of beach towels for everyone. The house is beautiful with great landscaping. Items and switches were labeled so very easy to find things and navigate. The kitchen has everything we needed to make a meal including spices and seasoning. I love Airbnb with basic condiments, cooking oil, spices and seasoning especially when you are traveling via airplane and just need a little salt, pepper and sugar. There was an instant pot too! I didn't feel that I needed to spend more money on things we may not be able to finish on a short trip. It was a pleasant stay. All the beaches in the area were within 15-30 mins away.

This was a great home. We were very comfortable. The location is beautiful and very secluded. It is run very well and we were glad we chose to stay here.

It is a very beautiful house as shown in the photos, it has all the amenities, super equipped, the super large pool, the hosts were always in contact 24/7, the only thing is that if it is better to go in a 4x4 car on the land when you enter Artola Estates.

Es una casa muy hermosa tal y como muestran las fotos, cuenta con todas las comodidades, súper equipada, la piscina súper grande, los anfitriones siempre estuvieron en contacto 24/7, la único es que si es mejor ir en un carro 4x4 por el terreno cuando se entra a Artola Estates.

The house was fantastic.  Lu was very responsive and a real pleasure to communicate with.  The only negative was the dirt road (at night).  I had a small car which wasn't the best choice in the rainy season and the dirt road. It can be done with caution.  For those considering this house to rent, you will not be disappointed.  I recommend a 4 wheel drive or a high car as they say in CR.  I had a hard time leaving this beautiful house and have a lot of video and pictures to remind me of this fantastic house and trip to Costa Rica.   This has been my best house rental experience so far.  The decor, amazing table, and attention to detail were second to none.  And the washer and dryer were heaven sent especially during the rainy where clothes can take 1-2 days to dry...

Wonderful home for a family. Kids had so much fun playing in the pool all day long, lots of pool toys and even a volleyball net. Nice to have so many beds for our family. Kitchen is very set up with so many appliances and basis kitchen essentials. Road was a true Costa Rican road. House was about 30 minutes to the airport so perfect for a place to stay before heading to the airport. We did have the power go out around midnight and it came back on a little before 10am. Coming from Alaska we have that happen for us at times so it wasnt a big deal. We just moved our important fridge items into the freezer so it wouldnt spoil until power came back on.

The place is very nice, the pisicina is spectacular, the house is very spacious and comfortable. A place to relax. Upon arrival they welcomed us very well, however the street is in poor condition so you have to transit carefully. They let us take our little dogs, and an amount was canceled to prevent inconvenience, however they only gave us half back even though everything was delivered as we received it, and with this I disagree, since they didn't even tell us why.

El lugar muy bonito, la pisicina es espectacular, la casa muy espaciosa y comoda. Un lugar para relajarse. Al llegar nos recibieron muy bien, sin embargo la calle esta en mal estado por lo que hay que transitar con cuidado. Nos dejaron llevar a nuestras perritas, y se canceló un monto para prevenir inconvenientes, sin embargo solo nos devolvieron la mitad a pesar de que todo se entregó tal cual lo recibimos, y con esto no estoy de acuerdo, ya que ni siquiera nos indicaron porque.

Hello Mariel, Only half of the pet deposit was returned because of the red mud tracked onto the porches, patios, and sidewalks, which required extra cleaning. I left that explanation as a note in the money return, but maybe it did not come through? I am sorry for any confusion over this. Sozo Group

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Casa de La Vida Plena! The space was as described, clean, equipped but most of all Lu’s hospitality outstanding! The Sozogroup was also great at communicating before and during our stay to provide valuable information and instructions! All things were clear, consistent with no surprises. We stayed for two weeks and made good use of the space from the splendid pool to well equipped kitchen. There are plenty of towels, utensils, and cleaning supplies. We had a bit of an issue with pressure in the showers which was immediately addressed and very much appreciated! There was a family of monkeys staying in trees around the property which added flare to the experience. The home was close to nice beaches (we recommend Ocotal),restaurants and activities. The only thing we struggled getting used to was the dirt road the home is located on as this can be difficult to navigate if you lack experience and knowledge of driving this terrain but it worked out fine with no issues! We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling to the area. Casa de La Vida Plena will not disappoint.

This house was spectacular in every way and the owners/host have thought of all the little things.  Where many airbnb’s are lacking, this home has it all.  From paper towels, to saran wrap, to games for the whole family to play together, as well as all the tools a normal home cook would be used to, everything is here!  They also provide a very nice starter kit if your forget to bring cereal for the kids.  This spacious, extremely clean, and beautifully trimmed home, is the perfect getaway for a large family.  Lots of comfortable outdoor seating and a delightful pool area will make you think twice about whether you really need to go to the beach.  Overall, a wonderful experience!

Casa de la Vida Plena was a hidden gem and the perfect jumping off place to see all of Guanacaste and the many nearby beaches. We found the home spotless and complete with all the amenities we would ever need! The setting was so quiet and peaceful yet close to everything. We enjoyed morning runs through he holds and viewing all the wildlife. The beds were super cozy and clean! We had a washer and dryer, which came in handy to prepare for the next leg of our journey. The outdoor space is simply amazing! It's the perfect place for morning yoga or enjoy a cup of Costa Rican coffee as the sun comes up. The pool and patio are completely private and serene. We loved cooking in the large kitchen and it had everything we needed. The locally made furniture is absolutely stunning.  Lastly, the owners had excellent communication with us and made sure we were well prepared and every detail was thought of. They made sure we had a local contact should any need arise- it didn't, but it was nice knowing we had someone nearby if an issue came up. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was perfect!  Thank you for a beautiful experience and we hope to return again someday soon!!

This place is fantastic! It feels remote but it’s actually really convenient to lots of interesting sites and beaches. Much more convenient than being at a place right on a beach. The pool is enormous and amazing, the beds are super comfy, and the kitchen has everything you need (and we cooked a lot). The breezes (and the fans and the shade!) made it comfortable outside even in the hottest time of the year and the air conditioning worked wonderfully. Washer/dryer and dishwasher and ice maker were great! We only made our reservation the day before we arrived because our hotel canceled so we had lots of questions - and the hosts were super responsive and quick. Stop looking and book now! It's perfect. There was so much to do in the area we are already planning a trip back. Here’s what we covered in a five full days with two kids (5 and 8): Conchal Beach was beautiful and the least developed - it was so empty (on a Tuesday during American spring break season) I was worried we were in the wrong place! It was glorious! I should have arranged a horseback ride here but didn’t realize it would be tough to find a place that would take young children. Flamingo Beach had a few more people and there were locals selling food and drinks, beach massages and jewelry. They’re not pushy at all though. The pork and pineapple fajitas we bought from a guy grilling on the beach might have been one of the best meals of my life. We went to Hermosa and Coco Beaches on a Saturday evening and they were packed with people - locals and tourists - and still lovely. A note about sunscreen: we managed to get burned in spite of our usual 70+ spf sunscreen and being under a tent or in the water and wearing hats all the time. So we’ll be stocking up and being more diligent about reapplying next time. My kids loved the Diamanté Eco Adventure Park. It is surely overpriced, but it was delightful. The animal park is like a small zoo and they had staff at every enclosure to tell you about the animals and help you find the ones with better camouflage. There were a ton of lizards and howler monkeys just hanging around and it was nice to see (and hear) them up close. We also did the botanical garden and cultural experience and even my kids were entertained and engaged for the full hour of the talk; they loved making and eating their own chocolate. The thing Diamanté is known for is the zip lines, but the minimum weight is 60 pounds so we got to skip those and save some cash. We went to Rincon de la Vieja national park and hiked the main loop ~3 miles to see the boiling water and mud and a small seasonal waterfall. It was hotter and sunnier and smellier than I expected. The big waterfall hike is two hours each direction and you have to start by 10am, but my kids are too little to manage that that distance anyway. There are several other waterfalls and stops on the way up the mountain that I’ll make time to see when we return! Food: We went to every grocery store and convenience store around and ultimately settled on the more expensive Auto Mercado. It caters to tourists so it was a bit easier to figure out things like cuts of meat. Hellohanny is convenient to the house and very good. We also went to Claudio y Gloria in Coco and it was worth it for the sunset alone, though the food was great too. Driving: We rented a small suv from Avis and there were a few times when we thought we might need four wheel drive and several times when we wished we had a bigger engine to go up steep hills, but all in all it was fine. The roads are pretty bumpy and it takes a while to go a short distance. There were only a couple of times when Google Maps sent us on routes that didn’t connect, so if it offers an alternate route that goes closer to the beach towns or past a large landmark, take it!

This is a lovely house in a great location for close access to a multitude of fun places to visit in Costa Rica. The rooms are well appointed with beautiful wood furniture and great decor. The kitchen is well stocked and has great patio dish ware to use poolside as well. The rancho next to the pool is awesome, shaded and has a string of lights to create super ambience at night. Each palm tree has its own light to create a delightful glow in the evening. Every party of the house is well thought out and inviting- from the front porch entry to the back patio with large tables, comfy chairs, coffee tables, etc. The pool is AWESOME! Real tile, super long for swimming laps, beautifully maintained and a shower outdoors to rinse off after. We visited Coco, Playa Panama, Hermosa, Conchel (spelling?) and so many places, as well as two volcanoes with super adventures with ziplining, river rafting, horse back riding and sitting in hot springs. It still felt so great to come back to this peaceful home away from the hustle and bustle, only half an hour from the airport, and feel so peaceful. There are tons of notes with advice on how to do all the things that come from the Hosts, which was super helpful. Takeout from HelloHanny was definitely a highlight- get their ceviche!! Highly recommend this place and these hosts.

Great house, lots of room! Perfect experience! We will be back. I would recommend this house to all!

We couldn't be happier staying here on our first trip to Costa Rica. The location is perfect if you're looking to explore the coastal region or just relax with several beach options close by. We visited an animal sanctuary 5 min up the road with 1 mile zip line right along the ocean. Recommended to anyone. Went to every beach from Tamarindo to Hermosa and every one had its own great aspects. Flamingo and Coco were our favorites. A couple things we discovered on our journey. Carry your visa when you drive. There are some random police checkpoints and if you don't have it they will fine you $100. If you get a rental car, please talk to the owners of this airbnb about whom to rent from. I also recommend getting at least a mini suv, the roads are not the best. We had a Nissan versa and it did just fine but if I wasn't a good, careful driver I'm sure we would've damaged something along the way. The best grocery store is here: G8R4+JRC, Provincia de Guanacaste, Coco, Costa Rica La Dolce Vita was our favorite "fancy" restaurant to eat in Coco. Le Coq was our favorite place to eat on the main drag in Coco. This place was amazing for us and we'd stay here again when we come back. Thank you for a great place.

First of all, thank the hosts for providing us with all the facilities for us to have a great vacation. i really don't think the photos honor the full life house. It's a wonderful house. The cleanliness was excellent and every area of the house is very nice. One of the most we liked was the kitchen area. It's the best kitchen we've been on AIRBNB. It has everything you need and there are cooking species of all kinds. It's a paradise for those of us who like to cook. The detail of the fruits was great. the pool area is very nice, it is a very large and clean pool. we had a small inconvenience with the water, which was resolved immediately and where his caretaker Franz brought us bottled water at night and a water tank. I mention it and want to highlight the ability to resolve the small issue that was super efficient. in general, we recommend Casa Vida and the hosts who are great and very friendly, with a great ability to communicate and make sure everything went smoothly. made our vacation great, we recommend it and hope to visit again soon.

Agradecer primeramente a los anfitriones por brindarnos todas las facilidades para que pasaramos unas excelentes vacaciones. la verdad creo que las fotos no hacen honor a la casa Vida Plena, es una casa maravillosa, La limpieza estuvo excelente y cada area de la casa es muy linda, algo de lo mas nos gusto fue el area de la cocina, es la mejor cocina que hemos estado en AIRBNB, Tiene lo todo lo que se necesita y hay especies de cocinar de todo tipo, es un paraiso para los que nos gusta cocinar. el detalle de las frutas fue genial. el area de piscina es muy linda, es una piscina muy grande y limpia. tuvimos un pequeño inconveniente con el agua, el cual fue resuelto inmediamente y donde su cuidador Franz nos llevo agua embotellada en la noche y un bidon de agua. Lo menciono y quiero resaltar la capacidad de resolución del pequeño inconveniente que fue super eficiente. en general recomendamos casa vida y los anfitriones que son geniales y muy amables, con una gran capacidad de comunicación y de estar pendientes que todo saliera bien. hicieron que nuestras vacaciones fueran geniales, la recomendamos y esperamos pronto volver a visitarlos.

We had a wonderful stay! This house is well located and we were able to visit many beaches close by. We visited Playas Del Coco, Tamarindo, Conchal, and Matapalo. We hired a local private chef recommended by the owners to cook a special meal at the house in celebration of our daughter's 17th birthday (Frank from Hellohanny restaurant). The house was very clean with all the amenities we are used to at home. The best part was the pool and outdoor living space. This house gave us the quiet retreat we were looking for. We can't wait to come back and will be staying here again.

Casa de la vida was perfect for us. We needed a quiet place to get away from the cold and go to the beaches with out the continual activity of beach towns. When we first drove in at night we didn’t know what to expect but were nicely surprised by great  home with everything we needed. The house itself had an authentic Costa Rican feel with all the gorgeous natural wood furniture. The pool and swim up bar was the best part for sure! We had howler monkeys and some tropical birds visit in the mornings and evenings. Frank from the town helped us with whatever we needed. All was very clean and comfortable. There was no dishwasher so dishes are hand washed or we heard you can have extra cleanings done by the host. We didn’t try it. The solar hot water takes a minute to get to the shower head but it was very hot when it arrived. There were no bugs and it was beautiful every day. The home feels safe, private, and peaceful. It was a great price for an even better value!! What a convenient & lovely place to stay. We highly recommend it! The area is calling us and we can’t wait to get back there!
