The staff at the villa was so fantastic, responsive, and helpful. We had a walkthrough of the whole place when we arrived and felt absolutely welcomed! We had a small accident with a clumsy coffee pot drop and they immediately were so understanding and replaced it. They were also responsive throughout the stay if there were issues and were flexible with check out on the last day. Overall we stayed for five nights and the beautiful location, beach access, plant life, and accommodations were the cherry on top to a perfect vacation. We were so in love with the Playa Negra area and would come back again in a heartbeat!! 💗 (Don’t forget to check out “Soda Mirna” across the street, the food was some of the best we’d had in CR!)

The Airbnb is handled by a management team and the onsite staff is extremely friendly, competent and knowledgeable regarding the activities in the surrounding area. Our unit and the grounds were impeccably clean. Upon our arrival we were surprised with a welcome gift of wine and chocolate! Our unit - Garden #4 although partially open aired felt private and was very peaceful. We were also surprised with a mid-stay cleaning as we were there for 10 nights. I am a bit "fussy" about a fresh towel and although I respect their resources are different than where I live there was never an eye roll when I wanted to switch out my towels like you find in so many Caribbean locations. We had a car and explored quite a bit of the area - sure there looked like there were other cute places to stay but when something works so seamless there really is no reason to look... any return trip to the Puerto Viejo area will include a stay at Villas Serenidad we already miss our new friends aka the staff!

It was a great place to explore Peurto Viejo, Cahuits, with lots of restaurants and lovely beaches. David and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We felt the place was looking a bit tired in places, but was very clean.

Host Response

Thank you for taking your time to review our property. We are located in front of the ocean, just a few places in the whole Caribbean have this private and exclusive access. We did our best to accommodate you and we try our best to keep the property on good conditions despite how hard is to keep it on this adverse environment. A fully equipped villa, with AC, kitchen, big space and a few steps from the Ocean and even with our good customer service leave us such a low score it totally destroy our good will. We really sorry you left this review and we will make sure more upgrades will coming for next clients. Pura vida.

This place was honestly perfect. From the moment we got there, it felt calm and welcoming. The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. You can tell they really cares about their guests — he checked in to make sure we were comfortable but also gave us our space to just relax. The best part was the view of the beach — waking up to the sound of the waves and sitting outside with coffee every morning was unreal. It felt private but still close enough to everything we wanted to do. Couldn’t recommend it more thank you, for being such an amazing host!
