The outdoor living area and the pool with the view is amazing. The bedroom could use some TLC.

Hello Sabrina  We had a fabulous time 5 Star! We loved the location of the house as well as the amazing view  but that pool, it was so special to us. Magical place to be. Best wishes and I will highly  recommend this place to everyone !

Host Response

Hi Jared, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that you had a fabulous time and that the pool and the view made your stay extra special. It truly is a magical place! I appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again in the future.

I will start with the positive. The view and outdoor garden is phenomenonal. Amazing sunsets and loved seeing the Macas! Leo, was helpful and replaced a broken faucet the next day. The beach access is walking distance and really peaceful. Improvements The home is very outdated and although the linens are washed, the pillows are in desperate need of being replaced - old and lumpy. The outdoor kitchen is not clean and felt grimy.  There was no laundry available although it was in the listing and there was a $30 fee per load. We specifically rent airbnb with laundry as we travel light and need to wash clothes. Overall, this property has so much potential with its beautiful outdoor setting but the basics are lacking inside the home.

Echemare is among the most beautiful places we have ever stayed, overlooking the ocean and a short walk from a spectacular beach. It was ideal for our family of 5, with a kitchen that enabled us to make meals and a central outdoor “great room” where we spent hours hanging out, reading, eating, napping, and swimming in the small pool. The beds are comfortable, and we could either sleep with the windows open to hear the ocean or with the A/C on and the curtains drawn for total darkness. The cliff-top deck was especially cool, a memorable spot for watching the sunrise with coffee. Mr Leo was very friendly and helpful. The only small things that arose were the Wi-Fi went down and the grill would not light. We took all of Sabrina’s suggestions, hiking to the Cascada waterfall, driving to Cobano for groceries and to Santa Teresa for dinner and the sunset on Banana Beach. Exploring the area for three days definitely gave us a sense of Pura Vida.

Sorry, but I will be honest. From the good: 1) Great view. 2) Well-maintained garden. From the bad: 1) The house itself is in a disaster. We looked at the overall rating on airbnb and trusted it, but when we arrived we were upset. If you would know that the house is as it is, we didn't choose it. The house needs renovation, to put it mildly. 2) Pool with good view but also very outdated. No backlight. 3) There is nothing in the kitchen. Salt, pepper, oil, flour, some spices, some spices, coffee, sugar, basic things to cook. Forget it. Buy everything. The kitchen is in a deplorable condition. 4) Washer. It is listed in the description, but in fact it is an old semi-automatic locked in the garage. Terrible experience. 5) Leo speaks Spanish and thinks we understand him. Difficult communication and strange communication. 6) Far from everything Be prepared to drive 30-60 minutes to eat. Uncomfortable location. 7) Poor internet. It's a bit expensive for a home like this, even with the view. We were disappointed, so this is our honest review.

I have no words to describe how incredibly beautiful the view of the place is, well equipped in a very exclusive and safe area

Spent a month at Sabrina’s place. You will be blown away by the incredible view. It gets no better and every morning we woke up to a gorgeous sunrise. The outdoor living space and the pool were great. House has rustic charm and pictures are accurate. Beds were comfy and WiFi was good. The grounds are well kept and the place is very private. A fantastic home base for the area. Leo the local property manager was very responsive and helpful. You should make sure to rent a car however as you will need it to visit the local area.
