3BR Home in La Cruz

Sandra

Not good, 1 month ago

Unfortunately, the pictures do not give a realistic picture of the actual state of the house. The entire house would need to be renovated and modernized. We felt uncomfortable and left earlier than planned. Pablo was kind enough to reimburse us for part of the cost. We cannot understand the previous five-star reviews.

Host Response

Frankly, I don't know how to be more transparent and honest about the type of accommodation we offer. We are very sorry that you had difficulty adjusting your expectations, but we are surprised because you are the first person who does not understand what we offer in two years of being hosts.

We loved staying at Pablo's place! It's centrally located in La Cruz and it was very easy to get to nearby beaches. The house had a two car garage, which was great. The house itself was charming, well decorated, and very clean. The backyard patio was really pleasant and we spent a lot of time sitting out enjoying the view of the backyard. Pablo was a great host, too! Very responsive & helpful. We'll definitely stay again if we're back in La Cruz!

we have been travelling inCosta Rica for the past5 weeks this was definitely a highlight A unique 2 storey house one of the oldest in Ls Cruz, lots of space , well equipped and a lovely wild garden, wood turtles under the house , interesting bird life..a real treat of a stay. Next door is Roberto who manages the house and is also a local guide. we couldn't praise him highly enough and with him we had our best wildlife trips so far. it feels a long way from the crowded tourist areas, if you enjoy seeing the real Costa Rica this is the place for you

My wife, our 2 dogs and I stayed at Pablo's for a whole week. We teleworked without any problems. The internet is very fast and stable. Pablo is an excellent host and very communicative. The house is in the center of La Cruz. Walkable to supermarkets and restaurants. Despite being downtown, it's a private place and you can't hear the noise. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you might need to cook. The only detail that took us by surprise is that the noise from the adjoining apartment can be heard and the privacy in the courtyard is a bit lost. The courtyard is spectacular, large and full of trees. Several types of birds arrive. The beaches are about 30 minutes away by car and are beautiful. I would recommend this stay and stay here again.

•An old and cozy house with bohemian decor that gives it a modern touch. My favorite part: the courtyard that is very large and beautiful, full of nature where you can relax. It's also perfect for pets. •The house is equipped with everything you need for a long stay. •In the heart of the village of La Cruz. Close to restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, and viewpoints with incredible ocean and mountain views. • There is a grocery store near the house (in the village they call it La Joca), here they sell tortillas palmeadas and curd, typical local foods and an infaltable. •Despite being downtown, there is not much noise and at 10 pm everything is completely silent. I would definitely come back, because my family and I had an amazing time.

This beautiful wooden house is amazing and peaceful. It’s perfectly located walking distance from many delicious restaurants, shops, groceries and a quick drive to the beach. I spent two months here the summer of 2025 and enjoyed every minute, I had guests visiting and loved showing them around La Cruz. Pablo was such an amazing host who always kept me updated on things happening in the city and solved any questions within minutes. The backyard is home to many turtles and lizards a beautiful bonus to my trip. The front of the house you experience the small town come to life but the backyard feels like its own oasis away from it all. I loved my time here and hope one day I’ll be back.

Nuestra experiencia contigo ha sido la mejor que hemos tenido en esta plataforma. Estamos sinceramente agradecidos de que hayas decidido quedarte con nosotros y nos hace muy felices que hayas disfrutado de La Cruz.

Charming place with a lot of character We stayed in this old house and it was a wonderful experience. It has all the amenities necessary for a pleasant stay. The house is pleasant, comfortable and perfectly ventilated, which makes it very pleasant at all times. Something we really loved was the clarity of the space - natural light comes in everywhere, which creates a warm and cozy atmosphere. Also, the location could not be better as it is in the middle of La Cruz.
