The view is AMAZING, you are staying for the view, pool, and the private water! We only left to go out for dinner. Roads are super winding, steep, and tight! We didn’t have a problem but would have been nice to know lol my parents who joined us it was a lot for them lol. Not a big deal but we had no clue. We brought food for breakfast and lunch and snacks. He had all cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc Had some minor hiccups but Tim and Marcela attended to our concerns and did what they could. Would stay here again, we traveled with my parents, and four kids ages 16-4 and they all loved it.

The best of the accommodations! Tim and Marcela are very friendly, and the accommodation is luxurious!

Thank you Karla 🙂

Our stay at Tim’s Casa Elementos in San Carlos was absolutely wonderful. The house was perfect in every way beautiful, comfortable, impeccably maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Every detail made us feel right at home. A special thank you to Mauricio and Marcela, who were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. Their hospitality truly made the experience even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend Casa Elementos to anyone visiting San Carlos. We would gladly return and hope to stay here again in the future!

Host Response

Thank you so much Ixty for choosing our San Carlos home for your water-centric vacation 🙂. We work hard as a team for a great guest experience and appreciate the recognition 👍

Magnificent resting place. The description of the amenities was lacking. Incredible views, especially at sunrise with the range of vivid colors, and during the day with the parade of yachts entering/exiting the port. Very easy access to the beach, which was a nice bonus. It's also great for taking out a kayak or an inflatable paddle board. The pool-terrace was excellent for the number of people. The house itself is completely functional. There was nothing missing for the stay. Highly recommended.

Host Response

Thank you very much for your comments, Marcelo. It's great that you took advantage of the easy access from the house to the beach and the sea!

The villa we stayed at was beautiful. It was in a gated community so it felt very safe. It’s not far from the town’s center so it was easy to drive to wherever we wanted to go that day in San Carlos. The villa itself was very spacious with an amazing view of the water. There is a stairway that goes down to a private beach that offers even more places to sit down and enjoy the view. The owner, Tim, was very hospitable and responsive the whole time. The cleaning lady was also extremely hospitable and would check on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall an amazing stay and I would 100% recommend booking with Timothy. This will be my go-to every time I am planning a trip to San Carlos.

Glad you found all the hidden gems of the property Mario 😉

Our family had an absolutely amazing stay here! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was beautiful, spotless, comfortable, and perfect for a family vacation. The views were breathtaking and made every morning and evening feel extra special. The location was great, and the space had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time together. What truly made this experience unforgettable was the host — incredibly kind, responsive, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. We made so many great memories here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful, family-friendly getaway. Five stars all the way!

Thank you so much for your kind words Alyssa! We love this house and San Carlos very much and it means the world when we are fortunate enough to receive visitors who feel the same. Thank you again for being exemplary guests and please come back soon 🙂

A place with very nice views. Great service from Tim. The cleaning person's service was not the best, and they acted indifferent during our interactions. Apart from that situation, everything was fine with the Airbnb; it was very spacious and nice, and the pool was very convenient.

Host Response

Thank you for your feedback Diana. I have already spoken with the cleaning person about it, and better interaction is expected in the future.

My stay at San Carlos was definitely a great experience, location of the house was perfect, view was beautiful, peace and definitely worth it! I was able to enjoy it with family, definitely recommend place, has private beach access, view to cerro tetakawi perfect for pictures and sunset views. House was clean, all cookware for cooking were available perfect to enjoy your stay have breakfast or dinner with ocean view. Loved it! ❤️

Host Response

Thank you for your comments Virginia. Come back soon!

We loved Tim’s place! The location has beautiful views and the home is very clean and comfortable. Tim was fantastic at communicating with us and easy to reach if we happened to need anything. Our flights didn’t line up perfectly with the available check in days, so we messaged Tim prior to booking and he worked with us so we could check in during a day originally blocked out for the host not being available for check in. We appreciated the level of security and safety of the gated community also. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing place to stay in the beautiful San Carlos!

Host Response

Glad you enjoyed the place and felt safe and secure in the gated community Peter.

The stay at Timothy's place was very good. The place was clean, tidy and just as described in the listing. Communication was clear and quick from the start, which made everything easier. The location is convenient and the place is comfortable to rest after a long day. Overall it is a pleasant and no inconvenience experience. I would definitely consider it again for a future visit.

Host Response

Thanks for your feedback Gonzalo. I hope you come back soon!

We loved this house. Tim was responsive and very friendly. The house fit our family of 7 very comfortably. I would definitely stay again. San Carlos unfortunately cut the municipal water off for much of our stay due to a city wide water shortage - not Tim’s fault at all. The house has some water reserve but as our party was large the lack of water definitely impacted our stay. The pool was great. The beach access was great. The view was worth a million dollars. You can tell the house upkeep is continuous and they have pride in the property. I like the community and my early morning walks. I would not hesitate to stay here and will be back.

Host Response

Thank you for your review Jackie and glad your family enjoyed the home and the property. Municipal water cut-offs during your stay were part of a city sponsored maintenance and repair project. Fortunately, the project is now complete and should not be an issue for a future stay. Again, thanks for being great guests and come back soon!

The home was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. Also, the hosts were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to return soon!

Host Response

Thanks for being such great guests Gabriel and come back soon!

We loved our stay with Tim so much and we can't wait to return! Beautiful ocean views from the every room in the house, including the balcony, and from the pool. We grilled outside by the beautiful infinity pool while watching the sun set over Tetakawi and as the boats came back in to the marina at night. We loved the easy access to the ocean straight from the house and spent time swimming and paddle boarding in the cove every day. From the moment we arrived Tim and his admin assistant greeted us and made us feel welcomed, and ensured that we had everything that we might need during our stay. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was nice and open which was perfect for cooking meals together. The neighborhood is situated just minutes from the marina and restaurants and shopping, which made it easy to go out or quickly pick up anything we needed. We loved Tim's place and can't recommend it more enthusiastically!

We try our best Ian. Thanks for the complementary review and please visit again soon 🙂

Tim’s place was the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing getaway. The view of the bay was absolutely stunning, and we loved having direct access to the water — it was ideal for paddle boarding and even a bit of fishing. The space had a laid-back, welcoming vibe that made it easy to unwind. Tim was an great host — friendly, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!

The place was incredible! The pool and view from the deck across the marina bay is spectacular! Watching the boats going in/out of the bay is so entertaining. The accommodations were clean, organized and very comfortable. Each room had its own bathroom which helped a lot with 6 adults. Tim was very accommodating and helpful. The agua unit provided a bigger deck for outdoor eating vs the fuego unit; the Agua was worth the upgrade. But both units are super as they have the same number of bathrooms and bedrooms. If you have a lager group, rent both! Our family of (6) had the place to ourselves in the Agua. I appreciate that Tim doesn’t rent both units to different families. Access to the private small beach was nice to enjoy the ocean without having to leave the area. It’s a gated community therefore more secure.

Timothy's place is all about the view - so beautiful! We lived on the balcony and enjoyed the ever-changing rhythms of each day. The bird life is amazing- Pelicans and gulls, white egrets and blue herons, terns, cormorants, osprey and vultures all day long. The bay was calm and peaceful and we loved swimming and kayaking in it and out into the waterway. We enjoyed the boats coming and going into the Marina around the bend. Morning coffee, yoga, afternoon lunch, happy hour on the balcony were all perfect. We did drive into several restaurants in the area and enjoyed those. The Caracol neighborhood is lovely and we loved our morning walks through the area with all the varied sea and home views. Tim was very kind and helpful with any questions/ needs we had - We will be back!

Excelent service from Tim, Marcela & Alma. Large home on a hill in a gated community with a gorgeous view, close to the marina in the older area of town. Hacienda style furniture home with plenty of room for guests. Thank you Tim for your prompt response to all our needs.. we had a wonderful stay!!!

Casa Fuego was an amazing spot to spend a vacation with the family. You can really tell that the host cares about his property. Everything was spotless and felt very cozy. The pool and views were our favorite things about the property. We could sit for hours on the pool deck admiring the scenery. Tim was also a notably excellent host. He was really friendly and easy to communicate with. He’s like the fun cool neighbor that just wants you to feel comfortable. I’m usually not a fan of sharing the property, but honestly Tim was really funny and made us feel really comfortable asking for anything that we might’ve needed. Would recommend this spot to anyone visiting San Carlos!

What kind and helpful review. Thanks so much Victoria.

The home and views are beautiful. Tim, the host knew that there was construction next door and accommodated for the that small inconvenience. Everyone we worked with there during our stay were wonderful. We will definitely stay there again.

This place is as beautiful as you see in the pictures. The view is stunning! The whole house feels very specious. We love the big windows that allow to enjoy the amazing view from each room. The prive beach is a great feature that we enjoyed very much as well as the infinity pool. On the other hand there are some aspects that can be improved. - The AC is not strong enough to completely cool off the whole house. - We had to asked for extra towels. It would have been nice that the admin of the house would have left extra since we were a large group of 10 people. - The ceiling fans are very old and don’t work well. - There is no laundry machine, which would have been very useful. - The sliding doors rattle. Every time someone opens or closes them, you can hear almost anywhere in the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We just wish there was more attention to detail.

Tim’s place was a beautiful home with spectacular views, well furnished with beautiful bedrooms and plenty of sleeping space. All bathrooms were well equipped and clean. The balcony views were incredible both during the day and night. Tim also let us have an extra guest which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend staying here. We were a little disappointed with the next door construction project outside our back windows starting around 7-8am through 5pm-ish. This also took away the back private beach access. This would’ve been nice to know. I would also recommend having hangers in all closets, an iron readily available in each apartment and upgraded cookware. If you have a lot of people staying with you it would be nice to have the cookware to support it. Cookware available was a little rough - didn’t match the beauty of the home. These are little things and all in all we had a great time. I’d highly recommend and would definitely come back.

Everything was great! Lovely house and view! Just a few little things… the fridge doesn’t work well and food rotted really quickly, the hot water of the shower of the 2nd bathroom never worked, there was not enough paper toilet and a first aid kit would be appreciated. (My sister got injured by a stingray and we didn’t knew what to do or where to go…. If this happens to you, just FYI you should just put in hot water the part of your body that was injured.) I would absolutely recommend this place, Tim’s attention and the taxi airport contact he provided and the local taxi from San Carlos who helped us with the local errands.

We loved our stay at Casa Fuego, the location & views are amazing. This is by far our best Airbnb experience, not only in San Carlos but any of our Airbnb stays. We were able to snorkel in our private cove every morning & watch the glorious sunsets over Tetakawi each evening. The location is even more impressive than the photos depict! Great pool, incredible views, expansive balcony & really spacious accommodation! The host Tim, is extremely responsive & incredibly helpful, which made our stay even more relaxing! He introduced us to Armando & Juan at Blackies, a fantastic restaurant & our new favorite. We're planning on making an annual pilgrimage to Casa Fuego, thanks again Tim, for introducing us to your slice of Paradise!
