Beautiful house, extremely clean and tidy

Nicole’s place is private, peaceful, and looks just like the pictures. The managers Christhian and Raquel were so pleasant, kind, and helpful; they made our experience even better. I would 100% recommend a 4x4 because the last 30 minutes is cemented driveway with periods of dirty road, but the last 5-7 minutes is strictly dirty road while going up a hill. I had a 4x2 SUV which worked for me because it was summer, but if it rained I don’t think it would have gone up; there is also a back road which was even worse, the bottom of my SUV hit twice going up that way. I would definitely stay here again because my experience was great, the house is fully equipped with everything you may need, I just wished it was a little closer to the beach.

The house is very well maintained, the private pool is in very good condition, it has everything you need, the view is incredible, they left us a plate of tropical fruits as a courtesy, you have to take into account that the house is in Guanacaste in a very rural area with very nice beaches, access is recommended with a high car but a 4x4 is not necessary. I would only recommend updating the bedding in the houses and ventilating them more, the bathrooms in the main house need an extractor. I recommend this place and would come back without thinking twice.

We stayed at this place for a week, during the end of the year. The house is very well equipped, it has everything you need, in addition, the two houses have small kitchens which was very useful. The house is 5 minutes away from a mini-supermarket where you can get any necessary products. It also has beaches 10 minutes away. It is very convenient for large groups, it has plenty of space and the social areas are spacious. We also loved the condo pool (there was no one there when we went) and we were able to play pickleball. The hosts were very friendly with everything we needed, they helped us with everything, they even allowed us to leave two hours after check-out. I highly recommend it.

Hosts were super responsive and helpful! The property managers helped organize transportation, excursions, and always were available to answer any questions! Pictures do not do this place justice! We will be back!

Host Response

It was a pleasure hosting you and your guests! We hope to have you visit again soon 😃

The location is entirely too far away from any activities, way too remote and the roads are not safe and or paved. The roads were full of pot holes the size of boulders, not over exaggerated at all, and they’re on both sides and the road and on 90% of all small one lane bridges you must cross to get to the property. Expect to drive 30-45 minutes just to get out of the neighborhood where the home is located where the majority of the roads are unpaved. Make sure you have a 4WD vehicle.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate that you chose our home for your Costa Rica experience. We’re sorry to hear that the rural roads impacted your stay. As much as we wish we could improve the local infrastructure, the road conditions are managed entirely by the municipality, and unfortunately, are outside of our control. We do try our best to prepare guests by recommending a 4x4 vehicle in our listing and welcome guide, as it’s genuinely the safest and most comfortable way to explore this part of Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a beautifully raw, natural, and untouched country; it's part of what makes it so magical. Many guests come specifically for that off-the-beaten-path experience: the wildlife, the jungle, the quiet, and the adventure. We’re disappointed that this aspect of the location didn’t align with what you were hoping for and that it resulted in a 2-star review, but we do sincerely appreciate the feedback. We always strive to deliver a wonderful stay, and your comments help us continue improving the experience for future guests. We wish you all the best in your future travels and thank you again for sharing your perspective.
