Our experience was excellent. Our whole family really enjoyed the stay and all the facilities. Yanan and his wife are super friendly and helpful. The place is even more beautiful and impressive than in the photographs, which exceeded our expectations. Everything was very clean, well maintained, and designed for spending unforgettable moments. We definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a special place to rest and enjoy as a family. It was a wonderful experience that we would definitely repeat. Thank you so much for making our stay such a special memory!

It was a pleasure to host you and your family. We are really glad you had such a good time, we will love to received you again. Thank you :)
Amazing place!!!! Everything was perfect, nice amenities, super clean, nice accommodations, host and house keeper were incredibly nice. The house is well designed and well thought out… the bedrooms are very private, large and super quiet. The kitchen was well stocked. The grill by the pool was great. Amazing views of the beach and surrounded with lush vegetation. Got to see a lot of birds and monkeys right in front of the house. The beach was almost private, and when the tide was low there were beautiful rocky areas to walk and see fish, crabs, etc. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!!
Cara Cara is paradise. We loved every minute of our stay. A few tips for future guests: book a 4x4 in advance, you'll need it to get here and to explore the area comfortably. Also, stop in Samara to stock up on groceries before heading to Daniela's place, options get more limited the closer you get. Yanan and family were so friendly and helpful. They only speak Spanish, but we managed just fine and it added to the charm of the experience. Once you arrive, just relax and enjoy, it's everything you'd want from a Costa Rican getaway. Don't think just book it!
Due to the great location, the access to the beach, the peace and quiet, the nature, and a house where nothing is missing, it was absolutely a dream for the price we paid.
One of the coolest houses we have ever stayed at in all of our travels. The best view ever. The only downside on this home is that it's very far off the beaten path. When we went all the restaurants were closed. There was no food anywhere within a 30 minute drive. I would totally stay there again. I love that they had a full time caretaker on side at the property. Can't say enough good things about this house.
Cara Cara is a special place! We have been there twice and plan to return for many years. Yanan, Marlena, and family tend the property with so much care and love you can feel it. The beach is almost private, the house is pristine. The macaws, monkeys, and hermit crabs and the private beach path to the ocean invite you to surrender into nature! Book this place to be taken care of and reconnected to nature!!!
We have been to Punta Islita 12 times (we love it here!) and have stayed at Daniela’s house three times. This gorgeous home had a major renovation and it’s more stunning than ever! The surroundings could not be more breathtaking. The house is gorgeous and very comfortable for many guests. The caretaker, Yanan, and his wife are super friendly, proactive, and helpful with anything that should arise. We look forward to staying again, and highly recommend this house enthusiastically.
We were absolutely blown away by this home. It has everything our group of 6 adults, 6 kids needed to have an amazing week in paradise. The house is quite remote (about 25 mins from town on a dirt road) which makes it incredibly peaceful and secluded. The beach is a short walk down a private trail and is very quiet and beautiful. Lots of crabs, macaws, geckos, etc. The house was furnished beautifully and bedrooms were very large. The pool and lounge areas were 10/10. We would highly recommend the chef services offered by host - local home cooked meals were well worth it so you can spend more time enjoying paradise rather than cooking. We cant wait to return.

Thank you Jennifer, It was a pleasure hosting you and your family and that all of you get to enjoy this little peace of paradise. We hope you come back again :)
This is a very special place— gorgeous pool, ocean views, and very comfortable bedrooms. Our extended family included 5 kids 3 and under, two teens, and 8 adults and we enjoyed all the place had to offer. We did have to keep a close eye on the kids due to the pool, slippery tile, and open layout. The closet full grocery store is in Samara about 35 minutes away, so plan ahead. The only challenge was the bat poop which fell like rain from the ceiling of the open air living and dining room. It was rather disgusting and a challenge while trying to eat at the dining table. Otherwise this place is a slice of heaven.
Daniela’s place is spotless. Great house next to a private beach. Would stay again for sure. Yanan the caretaker was very nice and always helpful.

We are very glad you and your family had a great time, we hope we can host you again :)
We stayed at this absolutely gorgeous home for five days ! it was picture perfect! The pictures are beautiful but being in the home actually takes your breath away! We love the surrounding area. We loved how close the beach was we loved how helpful the manager of the home was. And we loved how responsive Daniela was! It truly made for a perfect family vacation!
Wonderful house! This house is just amazing, the direct access to the beach and the restaurant on the beach next to the house were perfect. Our 2 families (4 adults and 6 kids) had an amazing stay, Daniela was really reactive to our requests, and Yannan was really nice to us during the stay. The view from the pool, the poolbar and basically everything was perfect! I would have loved to stay longer!
Beautiful and spacious home. Easily accommodated our large group of four families. The location is amazing. It is a tough drive but worth it. The views are stunning. The host is very friendly and helpful. The home looks new and is very clean.
