La Choza Del Estero

We stayed here with a group of 10 and overall had a great experience. The location is fantastic: walkable to town, close to everything, yet still surrounded by nature. The outdoor spaces were a huge highlight for our group: lush greenery, frequent visits from monkeys and iguanas, and beautiful views of the estuary made mornings and evenings especially memorable. It really felt like being immersed in Costa Rica. Communication with the host was also very good. Responsive, clear, and helpful throughout our stay, which we really appreciated with a larger group. The only thing future guests should be aware of is nighttime noise. The house sits very close to the road, and without a nearby speed bump, motorcycles and cars can be quite loud throughout the night. We’re heavy sleepers and still noticed it, so earplugs are definitely recommended if you’re sensitive to noise. Overall, a wonderful stay in a great location!

Wow! We just returned from our wonderful vacation. My family prefers staying in places that are quiet, surrounded by nature, and allow us to learn about the culture of people and places. This stay was perfect. The backyard is huge and stunning, providing the main common area for gathering with family. The rooms are clean and comfortable, each with its own bathroom. The gate from the backyard opens to the river, which guests are unable to enter because of crocodiles. However, we walked down the sand to the ocean in about three minutes. To walk to town, we walked about 10 minutes along the beach and then cut through to the street. The reverse walk home is more challenging at night because the beach is very dark and there is no sidewalk on the second half of the walk. so just be watchful of cars or rent a golf cart, or Uber, if you don’t have your own car. Toni and Miguel were welcoming and helpful. We loved sitting around the fire pit on our last night. Highly recommend!
