A nice place in front of the beach, excellent service, totally recommended

We loved staying at this perfect hideaway! It was right in front of the ocean and a huge pool. We loved Israel and we thank him so much for all of his help, he gave us coconuts, fresh tuna and gave us a boat ride at the Estero for a great price! We will definitely would to stay there again sometime!

Was a great time. We really enjoyed the place so peaceful. Away from everything. A little drive to eat out but for us worth it. Went fishing out of the marina in Quepos about an hour drive. Hopefully we will get to stay there again.

We are a family of 5 (3 high school age kids). This house was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for - family time, access to the ocean, wonderful pool, and adventures close by. Israel was amazing and scheduled horses on the beach, fishing for dorado/sail fish, bonfire, massages on the beach, zip line tour with Sky Adventures (REALLY cool), and his private "monkey tour." Here are a few notes: - The bunk room can easily handle 4 kids. - Google Maps said the drive from San Jose was 2.5 hours, but traffic and construction made it 3.5 hours, so plan accordingly - The dirt road into the house is very easy. - We played in the ocean non-stop. The house has 4 boogie boards which were awesome! There were some times where we felt a strong undertow, so we would move to shallow water - Having direct access to the beach cannot be beat. - The host and Israel were both fantastic. We would highly recommend staying here.

The place was absolutely beautiful. Right by the beach. Great host. Israel was helpful and kind. The dogs nearby were adorable. It was very private and quiet. Beautiful views of the property a d the ocean. It was very relaxing. We went boogie boarding every morning.

The house is beautiful, with an exceptional ocean view!! A large pool, spacious grounds, our dog enjoyed it as much as we did, we will definitely be back. Recommended 100%!

It was a great place to stay, super private with private beach access. Super friendly help on site. We can only recommend it! Thanks a lot!

It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We all loved it! Plenty of space for our group of 7. They were so responsive and helpful. The place was perfect!

This place was absolutely amazing and beautiful! The house with the open layout was perfect, the pool and the waterfall right out back was perfect, and then 20 steps to the beach. It’s not a tourist area at all so it’s pretty much a private beach. Israel, the caretaker was absolutely incredible! He was so nice and kind and helpful. He responded to anything that we needed. If you need something, ask him, he is the man. If you are going to do a mangrove boat tour, don’t book elsewhere, look no farther. Israel has the boat 10 steps from the driveway. He took eight of us on an amazing mangrove boat tour and saw monkeys and crocodiles and the mangroves. He is so good with kids! He just wants the kids to have a good time. We really appreciated him and enjoyed hanging out with him. Do you want to ride horses on the beach? No problem, he’ll have horses out back whenever you want them! And everything he set up for us, we felt was pretty reasonably priced. Thank you for an amazing week!!!

Overall, we loved the place—great views, right on the beach (which is vast and empty). Israel is a great guy who lives on the property and helps you with anything you need. Take his monkey tour or ask about other tours he offers. Some things that we didn't like: - the bumpy road that takes you there. It's about 10-15min driving through big potholes to go anywhere. Luckily we have had a bigger SUV to absorb some of them. - towels... The towels were terrible. I think they should trash them. They are useless. Thankfully, they provided plenty of beach towels that we used instead. - many things in the house are dated and need to be updated. - the place needs better organization for things - bring your own detergent, or get it in a super, which is a bumpy drive away :)

It’s hard to sum up my feelings about this place. It was so special and wonderful. It’s hard to describe. I also hesitate about giving it so much praise because I worry that next time I want to book it it’ll be full! The place was perfect. It was right on a private beach at the end of a private road. The water was a perfect temperature. The sand was soft. The ground Keeper was so friendly and very helpful. He was very kind to my kids and we felt right at home! Also a huge added bonus were his dogs. My kids miss our dogs when we travel and they were thrilled to find dogs here waiting for us when we arrived. There were limitless activities for us to do. We could lay around on the beach or swim in the pool or do excursions that were close by. This part of Costa Rica is extremely beautiful! I would stay in a place like this over a resort any day.

This is a great place and I do highly recommend it. Clean, quiet, and about as non-touristy as you can get. Beautiful beach with hardly anyone on it due to the seclusion of the island. The pool was great. Israel, the grounds keeper, was awesome and even prepared us fresh coconuts to drink. He has several friendly dogs that my family really enjoyed. As noted, the current is strong here but honestly where isn't it strong along the coast with all the big waves? We took precautions but still all enjoyed playing and surfing in the water. They set up private surfing lessons for us right on site. The only downside was mosquitoes. When it wasn't the heat of the day, they were everywhere except right on the beach. We didn't experience this once we went down Manuel Antonio and Dominical. The mangroves were pretty, but again, covered up in bugs.

this villa is wonderfully well located directly on the beach which has km and km of sand...clean and quiet I met 4 people in 13 days. Safe because the caretaker lives on site, he showed us around the mangroves by boat ( $)and monkeys and it was wonderful , the most beautiful excursion we did. He is very nice and he has 6 dogs who live on the property they are all very nice and they will play in the sea , they are very funny and their happiness is contagious. but if you do not like the dogs please notify them when you book, they can take action. there is also a kitchen that moves on request to the villa it is very good and very kind and affordable. the ideal place to have family peace if you love the beach. I will definitely come back. know that the nearest cities parrita and quepos are not the most interesting. But jaco is 45 min away. The waves are beautiful and intense.

This place is spectacular. The access to the beach is perfect and might as well be a private beach, there is so little traffic. The backyard is beautiful and shady in the afternoon. If you want a private getaway this is the place. We played in the sand and surf every day. Loved the pool. On site host was extremely helpful and available for anything we needed.
