This place was paradise for our family of six with children between 9 and 19 years old for a week. We were warmly welcomed by Pascal, Carlos and Alex and Chon cooked great meals for us for a week. The very nice beach, which is within walking distance, is deserted and offers enough waves for children to have fun. We had daily visits from different species of monkeys and macaws as well as many other animals. Pascal made it easy for us to do a wide variety of tours and activities – from a trip to Corcovado National Park to a dolphin tour to releasing baby turtles – the kids especially loved the last two. The "living room" and kitchen are open, so you should have mosquito spray handy, especially in the evening. Overall, a great place to stay with a great host team that we would be happy to recommend.

Our Costa Rica stay exceeded every expectation. Chon was an amazing chef—he cooked whatever we requested daily, including fish from our own fishing trip. Jackie kept the house spotless, and the caretakers were fantastic (even relocating a huge but friendly snake!). The location is unbeatable: a one-minute walk to a pristine, nearly empty beach with warm, perfect water. In early June we saw more monkeys than people. The wildlife was unreal—howler monkeys woke us each morning, and we spotted white-faced monkeys, toucans, macaws, and even a tapir from the property. Pascal made booking tours easy, and the welcome book was super helpful. We fished, hiked Corcovado, kayaked mangroves, zip-lined, paddleboarded daily, and released baby sea turtles. Mosquitoes exist (it's the tropics!) but bug spray and closed doors handle it fine. This was one of our most memorable vacations ever—amazing staff, incredible wildlife, endless adventures, and a private-feeling beach. We'd return in a heartbeat!
