Lorraine

The house is beautiful and comfortable, with a well appointed kitchen and flexible shared areas. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was clean. We enjoyed both pools, as it was really hot during our visit. The views and the wildlife were fantastic. Lorraine is helpful and responsive and an information folder really helped us plan our visit. Would definitely recommend and would be happy to come back.

Lorraine's house was amazing. I have rarely stayed in Airbnb's with the same cleaning standards as I have for my own house, but her house was SPOTLESS and so well taken care of. It was cozy and comfortable, had a beautiful view, gorgeous surroundings and was so well-stocked. It also had an incredible sun porch that we had our coffee on every morning. I still miss it! Lorraine met us at the house when we got there to show us everything and explain how everything worked, which was really great. She and her husband, Real, live on the property, which was also helpful. They were available if needed, but also gave us privacy. She had a book of recommendations in the house, and we used her recommendations to go ziplining one day. The private pool and patio were great, and we used them all 3 nights we were there. We also used the community pool a couple of afternoons, which had a fabulous view of the ocean and only 2 other people in it both times we were there. It was a great stay!

Our family had a fantastic time at Lorraine and Réal’s home. The location in a private, gated community was beautiful and convenient for visiting nearby beaches and restaurants in town. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the private pool (so nice at the end of a hot day), and while we were there, we saw monkeys, iguanas, geckos, and many birds. The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We cooked one dinner on the Blackstone griddle on the patio and found all the kitchen equipment in fantastic shape. Non-stick pans were nonstick, and knives were sharp! Also, special recognition is required for the special deluxe toilet paper. ;) Lorraine and Réal were so friendly and helpful. We highly recommend their home for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Excellent host Lorraine and Real were great. very responsive and helpful with suggestions. Would recommend highly.

Absolutely gorgeous home and surrounding neighborhood with lots of privacy around the home itself and we felt very safe with Lorraine and Real in the house right next door. The private pool was awesome and we also enjoyed the club pool. There were lots of things to do and Lorraine was very helpful getting us passes on short notice when we decided to try the animal sanctuary, the Thermal adventure, etc. We went deep sea fishing and the charter picked us up right at the beach 5 mins away! This home is very luxurious, drinkable water, bathrooms that worked well, an amazing terrace and great outdoor space too. I did a yoga class with Lorraine and it was a fabulous way to start a day ❤️

The house is beautiful, the pictures do not do justice to how wonderful it is. The house is clean, with a well equipped kitchen and the appliances work great. Everything you need is there and the pots and pans are in good condition. There are air conditioning units in all the bedrooms but not in the living room or dining room. There is really no need as there is plenty of air that comes through the big windows and doors. The outdoor space is wonderful, the private pool is great! There is also the club pool but we had no need to use it. Lorraine and Real are available if you need anything and they are super friendly. The best hosts! Thank you for letting us spend a few days in your gorgeous house. We had the best time!

Great place to stay! Very close to amazing beaches and activities! Wonderful place for the family to spend time together.

We made 4 houses to visit Costa Rica and chose Lorraine and Réal's house as our top 1! Super private and incredible communal pool just for our 2 families, maybe because we're in low season. There are all the necessary comforts, the house is very well-equipped: kitchen, bathroom, laundry room… nothing to complain about. In the heart of nature, we were delighted to be immersed with the local wildlife. We were able to see capuchin monkeys and howler monkeys, a scorpion… thank you for this stay at yours, it was a joy!

We just spent 2 weeks. We were 5 adults and 2 children of 1 1/2 year and 3 years old. The house was very comfortable, clean, very well equipped with a nice refreshing pool, it felt like home. It is well located with many beaches nearby including Playa Panama, our favorite for children and which is only 5 minutes away from the house. Perfect for children because no current and few waves. Lorraine and Réal are available at all times, they respond very quickly. In short, a slice of heaven!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Encantada. It was private and peaceful. It is meticulously maintained and very clean. Lorraine and Real are helpful hosts, who have lived in Costa Rica a long time and have many great recommendations for the area. Highly recommended!

Lorraine and Real's home was beautiful. Four of us stayed and we were very comfortable, but it could have accommodated more easily. The terrace was so nice for coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening. Real took great care of the property, he maintained the pool daily. The neighborhood was very safe with guards at the gate (they were professional and kind). For me, what really made this place stand out was Lorraine and Real. They live next door and were so helpful with anything we needed and any questions we had. They are lovely people and made the stay extra special.

Lovely home with a very well maintained and inviting pool that we used daily. Quiet area close to coast with great sunsets. Very attentive hosts.

This is exactly how and AirBnB experience should be! If we could give 10 stars out of 5 we would! Every single detail was thought of. it was obvious this was a loved and cared for home rather than a priperty managed rental property. Lorraine and Réal are such warm and wonderful people! Definitely take Lorraine up on a yoga session. She is so gifted! and the surroundings were so beautiful. their activity recommendations were spot on. I know I am gushing but I can't help it! our group of 7 were thrilled!

If you're thinking about visiting the Guanacaste area, this is the place. The location was perfect, easy to navigate to and around the area. Lorraine was incredibly helpful with identifying activities, restaurants, and grocery stores. The property is gorgeous and peaceful and the wildlife was impressive - we heard howler monkeys every morning while drinking coffee and getting in a morning walk. I would come back again in a hot minute!

Lorraine was amazing. She was so helpful with identifying restaurants and booking those restaurants for us. She also helped us identify tours and also booked tours for us. She gave us advice on grocery stores, fun things to do, etc. Always available and incredibly helpful.
