Amazing and beautiful location! Craig and his wife were amazing to work with! Great communication and recommendations! I traveled with 2 kids (10/12), my senior mother with minor mobility issues and my spouse. We loved every minute of our stay and hope to make it back soon! Thank you Craig for a most memorable and amazing experience!
Craig was an excellent host and his property was exactly as described. The views are amazing! I recommend Craig’s property whole heartedly.
Craig was easily the most communicative and helpful host I've ever had, & I've stayed at dozens of homes across the world. He provides a wonderful guide with all the info and recommendations you could possibly need, from rental cars, to excursions, to local restaurants, and more! You can tell he truly cares about being the absolute best host he can be. He went above and beyond for my group and I am extremely grateful for his kindness. As for the property itself, the view was incredible and the home was gorgeous. Would stay here again!
Craigs place was beautiful and peaceful. Just like the photos. It was plenty of space for everyone. I really appreciate the recommendations before arriving. Made the drive and finding things to do easy. Craig was very response. I definitely recommend his beautiful home while visiting Costa Rica.
It was a beautiful place to stay with a stunning view. The house is stylishly and at the same time functionally decorated. In the kitchen there is everything you need. We had a wonderful 8 days. Thank you Craig!
I have never written a rewritten a review, but felt Craig’s experience as a host was outstanding. The communication was great start to finish with great recommendations. The rental itself was also as pictured, which was really nice. The location is also great because it is very close to a lot of things. We will definitely look to go back again. This was a very positive experience. I suggest reading the pamphlet Craig puts together to help plan your trip it was helpful for a first timer who was looking for some structured time, but also discovery days. Thanks for everything Craig!
Host Response
Joycelyn, thank you so much and we really look forward to having you return. Im sure more positive changes for Villa Ananda as well as the area are fast coming so excited to share them with you. All the best.
We had a fantastic stay - beautiful unspoilt setting with plenty to do in the area (day trips to Corcovado, Cano Island, Manuel Antonio and loads of great beaches nearby). Villa was lovely and just like the pictures.
The house is beautiful, although if it rains you'll need a 4x4 car to climb the slope. Once inside, the house has all the amenities and a great pool with a fantastic view of the ocean. We saw toucans, macaws, and hummingbirds right from the pool. The main house has beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms with tons of sunlight. Craig was very responsive and extremely helpful with our car troubles.
It was our second time back and it didn’t disappoint! Amazing Airbnb! The owner is very engaging sweet and knowledgeable! Five stars all around.
Great stay at Villa Ananda. Beautiful views of the ocean and passing whales. Main, ocean facing rooms very comfortable and finished to a high standard. Plenty of outside space around the pool, but limited inside seating. The separate casita is functional but not the same high spec as the main house. Overall a wonderful, comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Incredible home with breathtaking views! Our family had a wonderful stay! Craig's home is beautifully decorated, very clean & comfortable ~ if you think the photos are nice, wait until you see this place in person!! Craig was a wonderful host; he was extremely responsive and helpful during our stay. He recommended a private chef (hands down the best meal we had in Costa Rica, hands down) & lots of local beaches & activities. We spent most of our time outside on the patio and in the pool enjoying the gorgeous sunsets and views. We will be back, thank you for an amazing stay!!!
Villa Ananda is absolutely stunning. The photos captured the house perfectly, but it is even more beautiful. The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen well equipped, the porch and pool provided amazing views and vantage points for seeing birds, lightning shows over the Pacific, and more. We all enjoyed coffee with toucans and other showy birds, the host, Craig, provided an extensive list of recommendations for things to do and places to eat, and was always responsive to questions. One of the best vacations ever. We hope to return!
This is the second time we’ve stayed here and it was fantastic again. The view is beautiful with many toucans in the valley, easy to get to and not far up a mountain (only about 3 minutes up) and Craig is always so responsive, friendly and accommodating.
The house was beautiful. It was exactly as described. The pictures were great, but they really didn’t do it justice. Craig is a wonderful host and provided a lot of extra information to help make the trip great. Highly highly recommend.
This place was extremely beautiful, the pool view overlooking the mountains and the beach was really something else. It was really nice to look at the animals from the view as well. The location is pretty close to the beach as well as all the restaurants which was nice. The place itself was super clean and one of the nicest setups we’ve been to. Although our reservation didn’t go as planned, Craig was very accommodating with us and we really appreciated his understanding and kindness throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend this place and come back again another time!
