Modern beachfront villa over the sand with pool - Villas for Rent in Tivives, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Gorgeous property!  Edgar treated us like family. Superb communications and well equipped home. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely unforgettable! The house is stunning—amazing architecture, amenities, indoor/outdoor living, pool and incredible sunsets. We had EASY beach access straight from the backyard walkway, despite another review saying otherwise. It felt like our own private miles-long beach! We saw turtles laying eggs beside the house, monkeys, macaws, stingrays surfing the waves, sand dollars and even a cheeky chip-stealing raccoon! The kids lived in the pool and ocean. Edgar is an exceptional host. He met us at the house, explained everything, gave great local tips, had forgotten essentials already stocked, and checked on us daily through Airbnb. The best host! His chef recommendation, Alberto, was phenomenal! He took our family/engagement photos, then prepared a 5-course dinner that all of us LOVED. His ability to use the sunset and natural light created some of the most stunning photos we’ve ever seen. This wasn’t just an Airbnb, it was an experience. We’ll stay here EVERY time! PURA VIDA

THIS WAS A FAMILY TRIP TO CELEBRATE OUR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND IT WAS MEMORABLE. GREAT HOUSE, GREAT POOL, BEAUTIFUL VISTAS, WALKABLE BEACH, UNBELIEVABLE SUNSETS AND CONVENIENT TO MANY ACTIVITIES AND SIGHTSEEING LOCATIONS. WE WERE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT GOING IN THE RAINY SEASON BUT ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SOME BRIEF SHOWERS NONE EVER INTERRUPTED ANY ACTIVITY AND I PERSONALLY DID NOT SEE ONE MOSQUITO...EVEN IN THE RAIN FOREST. WE HAVE STAYED IN MANY NICE AIRBnB'S BUT EDGAR'S PERSONAL ATTENTION AND RESPONSIVENESS AND OBVIOUS CONCERN FOR THE QUALITY OF OUR EXPERIENCE REALLY TOOK IT TO A LEVEL THAT WAS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL. AND I HAVE TO ADD THAT BEFORE WE WENT I TOOK THE ADVICE OF MANY PRIOR REVIEWERS AND SCHEDULED CHEF ALBERTO FOR A PRIVATE DINNER WHICH THE REVIEWERS PROMISED WE WOULD NOT REGRET. THEY WERE RIGHT!!!!! THANKS ONCE MORE EDGAR FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AS A HOST.

Here’s a more polished review that includes those details while keeping it warm and personal: Our stay at Edgar’s beachfront home was unforgettable. Edgar is an architect who designed and built the home himself, and you can tell immediately—it’s beautifully designed, thoughtfully laid out, and perfectly complements the surrounding landscape. If you’re looking to truly disconnect, this is the place. You’re off the grid for the most part, which made it incredibly peaceful. We spent every morning walking along the black sand beach with the Pacific Ocean just steps away. It was amazing to watch surfers catch waves and see macaws flying overhead—it felt like something out of a nature documentary. The pool was another highlight. Whether we were cooling off during the day or relaxing in the evening, it was the perfect place to unwind. What really made the stay exceptional was Edgar himself. He is one of the most thoughtful hosts we’ve ever had. He had anticipated every little thing a gues

What a wonderful experience, Edgar made us feel like family! The beach was just steps from the house and lots of fun activities. Highly recommend this place!

AMAZING!!! Dream vacation for our family of 5! House and Host Edgar exceeded expectations. The surrounding area is so beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be back! 10 out of 10!!!!

Let’s start by saying this home is beautiful. It’s luxurious, clean, and the perfect layout for a beach getaway. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows make it impossible to miss the stunning views, allowing you to enjoy the waves, sunrises, and sunsets throughout the day. I also have to be honest—our first night came with a significant security hiccup. However, the situation was handled with urgency, care, and support by Edgar and his community. Before, during, and after our stay, Edgar was professional, attentive, and responsive. He checked on our travels to Costa Rica, shared resources, and made sure we had everything we needed. You can truly tell Edgar loves what he does and wants every guest to experience top-tier hospitality. Chef Alberto prepared lunch and dinner for my friend and me, along with breakfast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The sound of the waves was calming, the views were breathtaking, and we left grateful for the experience. Pura Vida🫶🏾☀️

Very peaceful in my mind. Love the sound of the water in the morning and when it was time to sleep. Love how many rooms there was so it gave my group different options when selecting a room. Felt like home and looking forward to spending a longer stay at residency.

The best host: he was waiting for us at the place and explained details about the stay and the place. He was friendly and very empathetic. The house is very clean, organized, every detail was thought out, and it has everything you need and more. The place is beautiful. There is no need to go anywhere else. There is a swimming pool and the ocean is just a few meters away. Unparalleled, I recommend it 100%

El mejor anfitrión: nos esperaba en el lugar y explicó detalles de la estancia y del lugar, simpático y generó mucha empatía. La casa muy limpia, organizada, se pensó en cada detalle, se cuenta con todo lo necesario y más allá de eso. El lugar hermoso, no es necesario ir a ningún otro lugar se cuenta con piscina y el mar a pocos metros. Inigualable, lo recomiendo al cien

Edgar was, without a doubt, the best host I’ve ever experienced. He personally greeted us upon arrival, gave us a full tour of the property, and shared helpful insights about Costa Rica . His home is stunning and we absolutely loved the indoor-outdoor living. We used the pool every day and truly the beach. The beds were comfortable, and the thoughtful bathroom amenities were a wonderful touch. He checked in multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly and was always quick to respond to any questions. We enjoyed every single moment. Thank you, Edgar

One of my best Airbnb experiences. Edgar is definitely a host who makes you feel at home from the very first minute. My family was delighted with his hospitality and all the amenities he provided us. The house is in excellent condition and in a prime location just a few meters from the sea. It is exactly as seen in the photos; the pool area is a dream, and you can watch the sunset without having to move. I definitely plan to come back!

De mis mejores experiencias en Air BnB, definitivamente Edgar es un host que te hace sentir en casa desde el minuto 1, mi familia estaba encantada con su trato y todas las comodidades que nos brindó. La casa esta en excelentes condiciones y en un lugar privilegiado a solo unos metros del mar, es justo como se ve en las fotografías, el area de piscina es un sueño y te permite prescenciar el atardecer sin tener que moverte. Definitivamente pienso regresar !

This home is amazing! It's steps to a beautiful beach that's never busy. The private pool is perfect. It was so wonderful to wake up every morning to this beautiful view and end every night with breathtaking sunsets! Edgar was a wonderful host. He made us feel right at home and was extremely helpful with suggestions for activities and restaurants. He even had a birthday cake ready for my husband's birthday!

Edgar was extremely attentive! He met our group at the home for check-in and was available to answer any questions throughout the stay. He had a lot of wonderful suggestions and great information about the area. Beautiful home and everyone had a fabulous time. Highly recommend!

Edger was, by far, the best host I've ever dealt with.  He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the place and a great synopsis of what to expect in Costa Rica, which made planning our stay easy.  His home is absolutely gorgeous and very clean, and we loved the indoor/outdoor living. We used the pool every day and really enjoyed our walks on the beach. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the bathroom amenities he left for us. Midweek he checked in to make sure everything was going well and always responded quickly to questions we had. The personal chef he recommended for a special dinner was fantastic. We felt very safe and loved every minute of it.  Thank you Edger, you're the best.

This place was amazing!  The view of the beach, water and mountains....it soothes the soul.  The sunsets take your breath away.

Edgar is an incredible host.  He is very responsive.  He is also thoughtful.  I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday and he arrived to greet us with a birthday cake.  It's the little things like that, that mean a lot to me.  

Edgar also had assorted toiletries available in case we forgot to pack something. Again, it's the little things like this...

I highly recommend this property if you want to relax and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica.  Edgar made the experience even more enjoyable by making recommendations for activities, etc.  I highly recommend bringing Chef Alberto in for a night.  His food was AMAZING!

I can't say enough good things about our experience.  You won't be disappointed.

This Airbnb was beyond amazing. It was even better in real life than the pictures show. We had a group of 6 adults and 5 kids and the place was spacious enough that everyone had lots of space. Being so close to the ocean was a huge plus for us. We loved going to the restaurant a few minutes down the road, Costa Linda. We also went to the beach bar and had amazing food, drinks and views of the ocean. Edgar as a host went so above and beyond. He was so quick to answer any questions for us before the stay and during the stay.  He thought of every little detail. I have stayed at a lot of Airbnb’s and have never experienced a host so great. We had Alberto, a  private chef, come one night and we really enjoyed his food and his company. A truly great person. I don’t have a single complaint and would highly recommend this place to anyone! I am already missing falling asleep and waking up to the ocean right outside our window.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely beautiful stay, 5 stars more than deserved.
The place is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos, with exceptional views and a really soothing atmosphere.
The accommodation is clean, well maintained and perfectly located to fully enjoy the stay.

The host is always available, very attentive and quick to respond, which makes all the difference and immediately puts us at ease. You feel really welcome from start to finish.

Beautiful place, amazing view and perfect overall experience. I would definitely recommend it and would be happy to go back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Séjour absolument magnifique, 5 étoiles plus que méritées. L’endroit est encore plus beau en vrai que sur les photos, avec une vue exceptionnelle et une ambiance vraiment apaisante. L’hébergement est propre, bien entretenu et parfaitement situé pour profiter pleinement du séjour. L’hôte est toujours disponible, très attentionné et rapide à répondre, ce qui fait toute la différence et nous met immédiatement en confiance. On se sent vraiment bien accueillis du début à la fin. Un endroit magnifique, une vue incroyable et une expérience globale parfaite. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation et j’y retournerais avec grand plaisir.

Right from the beginning, Edgar was wonderful. I can easily say he made our whole vacation amazing. Yes Edgar's house is simply beautiful, add to it an attentive warm friendly host and we experienced an unforgettable time! We were a family or 8 adults and enjoyed every day of this special place. Thank you Edgar for everything!

Edgar was a 5⭐️ and more! He goes out of his way to make you feel at home.  The home was just like the pictures and very well stocked. He even had things for us specific to who was staying there.  He met us on arrival to make sure we knew about the house and surroundings. He checked on us everyday.  We had a grandparent not feeling well for part of the trip and was very concerned and willing to do whatever we needed. He gave us great recommendations on activities and food. It is a little bit away from things but we loved that. It was a peaceful relaxing stay and so nice to come back to after a day of activities. So don’t let that stop you.  We loved watching the birds and monkeys just right outside our door. There is nothing liked waking up to a beautiful sunrise from your master bedroom and hearing ocean when you fall asleep and wake up.  We cannot say enough great things about Edgar and his home.  There were 7 adults in our group and it was very spacious.

Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! Don’t let this home being a few mins from things scare you. We would stay here over and over again! Edgar is a fantastic host with incredible energy. The open are living is amazing and very comfortable even in the hot months! We are already trying to decide when we can come back to this home! Chef Alberto is also completely worth booking one night or even two for dinner!

Our stay here was unforgettable! The home sits right on the Pacific Ocean with an absolutely unreal view. Being surrounded by rainforest made the experience even better. Outside we saw monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds, toads, etc. Our host, Edgar, was amazing. This was truly the best Airbnb experience. He was extremely communicative, connected us with a driver when needed, gave great recommendations, & was incredibly organized throughout our stay. He made everything for my birthday effortless. The only complaint was that the washer & dryer wasn’t working, but he quickly made accommodations, so it wasn’t a major issue. You also may encounter small crabs, which are harmless in the downstairs bedrooms. It is a semi-outdoor environment & you are also right by the ocean. The location is about an hour from Jacó & 2 hours from SJO. You will get almost no phone signal so, be prepared for that! He does have great WiFi. Overall, an incredible stay. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing! The home was absolutely beautiful — spotless, thoughtfully designed, and filled with special touches that made us feel right at home. The host went above and beyond in every way, ensuring we had everything we needed and more. One of the highlights of our trip was the private culinary experience Edgar arranged with Chef Alberto. It was truly unforgettable — a delicious, personalized meal that made our vacation feel extra special. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a more wonderful experience. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate — it’s perfection from start to finish!

Amazing place , beautiful view and very friendly guy

I’ve been staying at different AIRBNBs for the past few years everytime i travel and this was the ABSOLUTE BEST ONE by far. What made my experience special was how Hospitality Edgar (the host) was with our entire group. We had EVERYTHING we needed at his place which felt like being at home but with much better views just because of  how nice he was to us. All his recommendations were 100% accurate from places to shop to restaurants to eat and places to visit. The house is breathtaking, hearing the waves from the beach was so peaceful and calm. It’s the best place for both have fun and peace at the same time. The food was amazing and Edgar is always available for anything we needed. We really enjoyed our vacation thanks to how welcomed we felt at his place and how often he checked up on us just to make sure we were having fun. Edgar your house is BEAUTIFUL and you have been the BEST host everrr. 10/10 on everything! Will definitely come back to this place, Pura Vida!!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this Airbnb in Costa Rica! The location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk to the beach, where we enjoyed stunning sunsets. The area was full of wildlife, and we loved spotting monkeys, colorful birds, and even iguanas right from the property. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we felt at home from the moment we arrived. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches and local recommendations that helped us make the most of our trip. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of nature and relaxation, this is the place to stay.

Edgar is an excellent host. He meet us at the house to explain everything. The refrigerator was stocked with drinks and Edgar’s recommendations for food and activities was perfect. Costa Linda was great and the Fernando boat trip was cool. He was a lot of fun! We also had the private chef Alberto cook for us. His dinner was excellent and he was very entertaining. Edgar answered any questions right away.We had a great vacation! Thanks, Lisa

If only we could give 10 star review ! Edgar is a super host! Truly welcoming , supportive and kind. Our flight was delayed and even though we arrived at 2 am Edgar communicated to us through getting to place, personally greeted us and it felt like being hosted by a relative we did not see for a while and all were so happy. The place is peaceful and spacious, beach feels like you are the only one there. The pool overviews the ocean is a true paradise ! We walked to small restaurant and saw monkeys on our way. We could also drive for a short time to great waterfalls adventure and beach front restaurants, place has everything we needed. Thank you Edgar

As an Airbnb host myself I can tell you that 5 stars isn’t enough when rating Edgar and his beautiful property! This place truly felt like a home away from home. Edgar is a phenomenal host that earned 5 stars BEFORE we even arrived. He was great at communicating, prepared us for our stay, gave us excellent recommendations of things to do and met us at his property to show us around. The house was perfect for our 2 family group (4 adults,4 kids) and was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and had 2 refrigerators for plenty of food and drinks. Edgar even stocked one with beverages for us! Our favorite spot was the pool over looking the black sandy beach. Contrary to other reviews we felt that the road to get there was fine. Only a couple bumps here and there but very manageable. Lastly, you MUST have Chef Alberto come cook you AT LEAST 1 gourmet meal. We traveled all around while visiting CR and had some great meals. But his put them all to shame! 🤌

Edgar was a true gem! He was incredibly welcoming, generous, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the moment we arrived, we felt less like guests and more like old friends.  His recommendations for exploring the area were spot-on, and his kindness truly set the tone for our entire trip. The house itself was nothing short of amazing. Every detail was thoughtfully curated for comfort and style. The house provided the perfect, peaceful sanctuary to take in the beauty of the ocean. Chef Alberto cooked one of the best meals we have ever experienced!  Elizabeth and her team came and set up by the ocean and truly gave us one of the best massages! Beyond the wonderful hospitality and accommodations, the locals we met were the absolute best. Their warmth and friendliness made us feel incredibly welcome everywhere we went. We left feeling like we had made genuine connections. This was perfect for our family and we are looking forward to next time at Edgar's place! Pura Vida!

Edgar went above and beyond from a flexible check in to check out. The house is very large with a spectacular view of the ocean. The house and outdoor seating areas are plentiful and spacious for a large group. We swam in the ocean everyday, used the outdoor shower and then jumped into the pool which was just steps from the ocean. Edgar asked everyday if we needed anything and had the house fully stocked with all toiletries We didn’t have charcoal and he sent someone to bring some. He made excellent recommendations to local businesses and restaurants. We did the mangroves tour with Fernando at Costa Linda. Definitely go to see Fernando and try his fresh smoothies! He showed us how to call the monkeys!! Highly recommend Fernando! We were celebrating Dave’s birthday, Edgar recommended Chef Alberto, despite a storm he cooked on the outdoor grill the most amazing dinner! Probably one of the best meals we have had. Edgar made us fall in love with Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Not what we expected.   Beach was loaded with debris, trash, and two old tires.  House in need of repair and care.  Floors in 2 bedrooms show signs of much water damage. One bedroom flooded due to broken air-conditioner.  When we did laundry the water made a lot of brown stains.  Edgar said it was due to main water supply pipe damage in neighborhood.  There was an issue with main shower pouring out hot water so repairman had to come in.  If you're looking for first class this isn't it.  I wish we could post pictures!  The house and street was probably beautiful years ago.   Now the neighboring houses are rundown and properties overgrown.   We couldn't even walk along the beach due to the debris and trash that washed up and was not cleaned. On a rainy day it started leak rain into the kitchen.   When we reported this to Edgar he said that we were hurting his mental health.  We left early.  The partial refund did not cover changing our flights.

I’m truly sorry literally everything about your trip went wrong, from the apocalyptic storm to the failure in the downstairs AC units. I hope that publicly and so hatefully expressing yourself made you feel better. There are dozens over dozens of reviews that prove your overstatements are wrong. Frustration doesn’t have to turn into hate like you did. You didn’t like it and were properly refunded.

Edgar is by far the friendliest host we've ever dealt with. He's the very definition of hands on, responsive and helpful. He instantly dealt with any request, and bend over backwards to ensure we had a 5 Star experience at his beautiful beach home. His recommendations for local restaurants, experiences, and destinations were equally as helpful and appreciated. The house is every bit as gorgeous as the pictures, and the indoor/outdoor lifestyle was clearly explained in the description and during follow up messages with Edgar. As long as you fully understand the living space is open to the elements, you'll not be disappointed. Lastly, when my family was returning from a day trip to Monteverde Cloud Forest, we got caught up in a major road closure. It was a multi-hour delay that was a bit stressful given the very young children in our family group. Edgar spent much of his personal time attempting to help us find an alternative route home. Can't say enough about our wonderful stay!

If being accommodating, responsive, and happy to go the extra mile we're measured in money, Edgar would be the richest man I know.  Ocean and pool were the perfect temp.  House is beautiful, beach was nearly empty, convenience store was within walking distance, and Costa Llinda restaurant had great food.  If you get the opportunity to have the Chef come, do it.  I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back. Thank you again Edgar, Pura Vida!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Hospitality and Thoughtful Details Our stay at Edgar’s Airbnb was truly wonderful. His communication was outstanding from the moment we booked, answering all our questions and ensuring a seamless experience. Upon arrival, he personally welcomed us, giving a tour of his beautiful home—our peaceful retreat away from the city. The kitchen was fully stocked, and each bedroom had carefully prepared essentials, from makeup wipes to hair ties and sanitary products, showing his incredible attention to detail. Edgar was always available, responding instantly to any questions. His warmth and generosity made this stay unforgettable. Without a doubt, a five-star host who went above and beyond to make us feel at home! Highly recommended!

There are few words that can accurately describe the beauty of Edgar’s home and its surroundings. It really is something you have to experience to understand. The home is stunning. Situated steps from one of the most amazing beaches you have ever seen, with mountains on both sides and the clear pacific in front. The only sad part is the trash that does wash up - but that speaks to the state of our oceans, not of the home. Edgar himself was one of the absolute best hosts I have ever encounter on AirBnB. Even before arriving he was responsive and flexible, making sure everything was perfect for our arrival. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, stocking the house with drinks, toiletries, kitchen essentials, games and toys. He even went out of his way to ask the ages of our kids ahead of time so that he could get the prefect activities for them. And no review would be complete without mentioning Chef Alberto! So good we had him come back twice!! Pura Vida 🌞🌊🌴🦜🐒

My friends and I loved our week at Edgar’s place! He made us feel right at home and was very responsive to our needs! We can’t wait to visit again in the future!

Absolutely Stunning Stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I’d give more stars if I could!) The house was absolutely stunning—clean, modern, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The host, Edgar, was amazing, providing excellent communication no matter the time. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect stay. The private beach was exclusive and breathtaking, with the most gorgeous sunsets. The oceanfront location and spectacular pool made for an unforgettable experience. We loved every moment in this beautiful, relaxed beach house. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷❤️‍🔥 Thank you, Edgar, for your incredible hospitality and help whenever we needed it! We can’t wait to come back! 🌊🏝️✨.

Edgar was a great host.  He was responsive and always helpful staying in touch messaging. Since this was our first time in Costa Rica, we didn't know of where else to plant roots for a week. His place did the trick. Beautiful open floor plan,  picturesque everyday from sun up to sunset.  Not knowing the area to much you are out about 20 to 30 minutes from bigger townships.  The stay was remarkable though.  We played on the beach daily and saw  limited crowds,  we utilized a private chef (magnificent) and enjoyed our friends company while we visited.  All in all, an easy ride as we ziplined Carara Park, had great food in Jaco Beach, hiked and swan. Plenty of 🌞, 🍻 , 🏄‍♂️ and fun. Enjoy, Pura Vida!

Edgar’s place provided three “old guys” all that we needed as a break from the cold in Canada. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need, it sits directly on a very quiet ocean front in a safe gated community. The nearby restaurant is excellent, we spent many evenings there sampling most of the dishes on the menu, all were great. For the nights your not at the restaurant be sure and have Alberto provide you a private meal, you will enjoy your evening with Alberto, if you are in a hurry, don't get him talking. Your host Edgar is a great communicator, be sure to let him know if there is anything that you need. Flight delays caused our check in to be late, around midnight, knowing we would be too late to shop for supplies, Edgar met us at the house with drinks and sandwiches, after a 20 hour travel day this was greatly appreciated. You won't regret choosing a vacation at Edgar’s place in Tivives.

Very nice villa, modern, comfortable and with all amenities, the beach is very beautiful, is not crowded, only drawback, plastics brought by the tides that we picked up to help the environment! (not really a big job!) But the sunsets are really beautiful and make us forget everything. Edgar is a very responsive, helpful and pleasant host. This is our sixth villa in Costa Rica, it ranks among our favorites and we won't hesitate to go back. We recommend it!

Très belle villa, moderne, confortable et ayant toutes les commodités, la plage est très belle, n’est pas achalandée, seul inconvénient, des plastiques apporter par les marrées que nous avons ramassé pour aider l’environnement ! ( pas vraiment une grosse job ! ) Mais les couchés de soleil sont vraiment magnifiques et nous font tout oublier. Edgar est un hôte très réactif, aidant et agréable. Nous en sommes à notre sixième villa au Costa Rica, elle se classe parmi nos préférés et nous n’hésiterons pas à y retourner. Nous recommandons !

Edgar's home is located on the best beach we've ever stayed at.  The home was perfect for our family of nine people.  And Edgar was one of the best hosts we've ever worked with - very helpful, proactive and responsive.  Highly recommended.

Our  trip to Costa Rica was a get away and this is exactly what we found at Edgar’s. Everything shown is spot on, nothing is misrepresented. Edgar is undoubtedly one of the best hosts! Before and after our arrival he was in constant contact with us, making sure we were ok. We really appreciated him meeting us personally when we arrived. He was most generous in supplying us with water, some of his favorite juices, coffee, teas, and toiletries galore!  The food from the restaurant nearby was tasty and they had the best natural juices!  We did early morning walks along the beach during low tide and were also able to enjoy some beautiful sunsets. One of the highlights of our trip was the meal cooked for us by Chef Alberto. The Brazilian Picanha Steak was the star of the show alongside Chef Alberto’s personality. Our dinner turned out to be not only delicious but highly entertaining. Thank you again Edgar! A wonderful experience from start to finish! Wishing you the best! Pura vida!

We had a great time! Edgar was very helpful, and easy to work with. Really enjoyed having his recommended private chef, Alberto, come out to the house.

Most amazing greeting I’ve ever gad encounter by a owner and host and will highly recommend for anyone to have his experience this house offers.

Absolutely stunning beach front property in Tivives, CR. You will not be disappointed with this location if you’re looking for some peace and quiet on the beach. There is the best little local restaurant within walking distance with the best food, and we were able to see many monkeys. Edgar was very helpful and communicative.

A super host attentive to detail and the best experience of us. We felt at home. Every time we had a question, he would fix it. I wish the rest of the hosts were like that. A 10/10 recommendation.

Un super anfitrión atento al detalle y a la mejor experiencia de nosotros. Nos sentimos en casa. Cada vez que teníamos una duda, él la solucionaba. Ojalá fueran así el resto de anfitriones. Una recomendación 10/10

I absolutely have to share my experience with this amazing space. It far exceeded our expectations - it was even more spacious and breathtaking than the photos could convey, especially the stunning view of the beach from the main room. Edgar, the host, was nothing short of exceptional. He was incredibly warm, responsive, and an all-around great host. Whenever we had questions, he promptly addressed them, ensuring that we felt well taken care of throughout our stay.

Excellent home to go with the family to rest, Edgar made us feel like we were at home

Excelente casa para ir con la familia a descansar, Edgar nos hizo sentir como si estuviéramos en nuestra casa

What an incredible property, location and host! We loved our stay ❤️

Edgar's place was absolutely amazing! Everything was exactly as advertised. I read the reviews on how great a host Edgar was before we booked but I have to say you have to meet him for yourself! Edgar was everything and then some. He made us feel like family. So please don't hesitate to book this place. Thank you again Edgar for help making our vacation extra special!

This house was lovely. The beach is private and right outside the property. The pool was clean and ready to cool us off all the time. The kitchen had every possible thing you could need or want in it. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. Edgar was very friendly and responsive. He met us at the house and showed us around. He had asked before we got there about the kids in our group, and provided things especially for them, and catered to them. There were toys and other things for them, and a whole refrigerator filled with juice boxes for them. He even provided coffee and water bottles for the adults. Everything was perfect, and we had a great time.

We enjoyed our time staying at Edger’s place! Edger was a great host by personally greeting us when we arrived to his great communication! The house was very clean and well stocked! We loved the local family restaurants nearby and especially enjoyed the special meal provided at the house by Alberto! Thank you for your hospitality, Edger!

I dare you to find a better slice of paradise than Edgar’s home! Our family of six enjoyed a week of simply being together, relishing the ocean breezes, amazing - practically deserted! - black sand beach, perfect pool and napping on the patio. Edgar was insanely helpful and went above and beyond from the moment we booked always providing helpful info and making sure we had everything we needed. He should be the standard that all hosts aspire to be! The only disappointment? Knowing we’ll likely never find this type of hospitality and beach location elsewhere. Guess we’ll have to come back!

Definitely had a great few days here. Edgar is excellent and super helpful with accommodations. House is literally oceanfront- pool is spectacular- house is very spacious.

Edgar is an amazing host. From the time I booked he recommended things to do, and places to shop. The property was immaculate, and well stocked. Edgar checked in with us regularly to make sure we did not need anything. I am blessed to travel a lot and use airb&b all the time. This was one of our favorite properties.

Edgar is a gracious, generous host and made our stay wonderful. He offered recommendations for things we wouldn’t have found on our own. The house was great and it is literally steps from the beach. We were usually the only people on the beach - it felt very private. All bedrooms had AC and that was definitely a huge benefit! My girls loved the pool, as did we. I highly recommend Edgar’s beautiful home!

Edgars' house is well worth the price. The house is beautiful and Edgar is beyond helpful. He met us at checkin and even know we were delayed at the airport, he waited for us and gave us a tour of the house. The house was clean and Edgar even provided a maid service half way through. The area around the house is rural with two restaurants in the town down the street. We routinely saw police and the private security patroling the street and beach which made us feel secure. This house is on a street with many houses along the beach, but we rarely saw anyone else on the beach. The waves were of moderate size so I wouldn't reccomend small children playing in the ocean, but the pool more than makes up for it. I would stay here again.

Our stay at Edgar’s beach house was lovely! Edgar is one of the best Airbnb hosts we’ve ever had. Very responsive, extremely helpful and over the top friendly. He wants to make sure you feel right at home and he succeeded!  The location is very safe and peaceful and the kids loved the beach and the pool! The house is well equipped and Edgar provided extra amenities that come in handy if you forget something. We highly recommend Edgar’s beach house.

We couldn’t be more pleased and happy with this amazing and beautiful home.. very safe, private and the most gorgeous sunsets . Edgar was so helpful and throughout our stay he was keeping in touch with us and being the perfect host . Highly recommend, the area has two small places to eat but the one we loved and the food was so good was Costa Linda.. very quiet and lovely place . Thank you Edgar will definitely come back again🇨🇷👏🏼👍🏽👍🏽

This home was beeaaauutttifuull!!!! We loved everything about the home. Edgar was very attentive and very very helpful. I would live here if i could. I definitely recommend to everyone visiting Costa Rica. Thanks so much for everything

Top shelf vacation spot. Endless summer for adulting. Edgar is a great host, who cares about his house and whoever is in it. Edgar went over and above to make our vacation what we wanted it to be. Shout out to Alberto, who cooked us a couple of great meals on the backyard/poolside/oceanfront BBQ. Also, many thanks to everyone else that came and added to our time in Costa Rica. Friendly/Helpful locals too. Highly recommend. would definitely do it again. Pura vida - all day long.

Edgar's home is amazing.  Looked exactly as pictured. Plenty of space for our group of 7. For our kids (age almost 2 and 5) he had gifts upon arrival as well as so many other amenities including a great pack n play with added soft mattress and sheet, kids plates, bowls, cups and utensils, a highchair and booster chair, plus so many sand and pool toys. definitely don't bring any/many toys if you book here. The kitchen had salt, pepper, oil, Pam, and a few other spices. It also had anything you needed for cooking. If you're not used to hot weather plan simple dishes as it is a bit warm in the common areas. Bedrooms were very cool though. Outside, the pool was amazing too cool off in. We saw some sort of Sting rays jumping in the ocean, a random baby turtle, parrots, iguanas, small crabs and a few monkeys while at dinner down the road. We also could walk to a restaurant from the beach.

I could write a book about my experience staying at Edgar’s home. Long story short. He was in touch with me well before I arrived in Costa Rica making sure we were accommodated. Upon arrival he met us at the house and gave us a tour while giving us advice and recommendations for our time here in Costa Rica. My friends and I felt like we were staying with a family member. It was truly a great experience and blessing to at Edgar’s.

Serenity. Beyond gorgeous sunsets! Edgar was an amazing host from the moment we booked until our departure. He was very quick to respond to my questions and offer recommendations from excursions to restaurants. He met us upon arrival to provide a personal tour of the home and had the frig stocked with water, juice and soda! Coffee and tea with sugar and creamer were also provided. Don’t worry about spices either-oils and marinades are there!! Edgar went a step beyond this and had toiletries for each guest. The beach was especially popular during our visit with Christmas and the New Year. Our family enjoyed building a bonfire and seeing fireworks up close at midnight to ring in 2024! The locals are second to none and you must see the monkeys at Costa Linda where Fernando and family make you feel right at home. Elizabeth’s massages and facials were incredible and are highly recommended! You can have pizza delivered or dine at the beach cafe - delicious, large portioned meals. Book it!

We had a great stay at Edgar’s place despite a couple of unforeseen issues. Edgar was immediately responsive and helpful and offered plenty of suggestions. He even stocked the fridge with some nice surprises and the bathrooms with extra amenities. A few things to know: The house is very private, in an incredible location with a wide and clean beach perfect for wading and boogie boarding but not ideal for little ones. This also means that restaurants and activities are a considerable drive, so this is really a place for families or groups expecting relaxation and to cook at home. The house does not have central air (bedrooms only) and common areas can get very hot, especially in the kitchen. It also has no dishwasher but does have laundry machines. Nothing is ever perfect, but you can trust Edgar to make sure you are well cared for and have a great time in this magical place.

Edgar was great.  Helped us out with arranging a chef and spa services.  Chef Alberto Munoz was great.  Arranged three dinners for us.  Elizabeth Porras brought a team with her for a full day of spa services for 6 people.  We brought her out again for a second round of services after a hard day of hiking.  Edgar was fantastic.  The house was everything we were looking for and more.  The open air feel of the house was very nice.  Air condoning in the bedrooms was also a plus.  There were two local restaurants Salon Coopetivives and Costa Linda that are walking distance from the house.  You must eat there at least once if not more than that.  If you are looking for a place to escape please give Edgar's house a try.  Everything was perfect.

Words can't express how beautiful Edgar's place is. You just have to see it for yourself. Don't bother buying juices, bottled water, coffee, creamer, sugar, tea, spices and ice until after you get to his property as he provides all of this. Plenty of beach towels as well. His main fridge (he has 2!) malfunctioned one day and he promptly had a tech out first thing the next morning to fix it. I've never had a more responsive and gracious host than Edgar- someone who truly cares about his guests, not just here to make money but to actually get to know you and make sure everyone has the best possible vacation possible. Mid week cleanings can be provided and are highly recommended- they'll even wash and fold your laundry! We saw lots of wildlife around the property from macaws, lizzards, racoons and white faced monkeys to friendly local cats and dogs. As for tours in Jaco (1 hour drive) I highly recommend Zuma Tours for private boat trips and AXR Jaco for atv tours. Pura Vida!!

We had an amazing blissful family experience at the beach house! Edgar is an outstanding host, he made us feel right at home and handled everything with kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend this home and the Costa Linda family owned restaurant close by was delicious option, you must try it! We were so happy with the beachfront property we didn’t need to go anywhere or do anything but enjoy the space and the beach the peacefulness and the amazing pool;  not to mention the sunsets oh my goodness! Although there are close by options if you want to take excursions, the Costa Linda also has options for that as well! We felt safe swimming in the water in between tides,  definitely family friendly area! Thank you Edgar for the family memories of a lifetime!!

Family reunion, 8 people.  Plenty of space to spread out.  We had a great time.  Grands never left the pool and beach.  Only downside, house is well worn - the climate takes a toll on finishes.  Host left plenty of bug spray, sunscreen and lotions.  Very casual stay - mostly in swimsuits all day.  We were there during an off-shore storm, lots of driftwood and debris on the beach left at high tide.  Alberto (chef) prepared several dinners for us - a real treat for those of us usually "assigned" cooking duties!  House mostly open to the outside, not air conditioned.  Bedrooms each have their own units, so they were comfortable at night.

Edgar es us SuperSuperSuperHost A clear example of above and beyond It made our family enjoy an excellent vacations. And the house is 10/10. Thank you so much!!

Edgar es us SuperSuperSuperHost Un claro ejemplo de above and beyond Hizo que nuestra familia disfrutara de unas excelentes vacaciones. Y la casa es de 10/10. Millones de gracias!!

We stumbled across Edgar's place and fell in love with the photos and booked it without hesitation. After that, Edgar has stayed in touch throughout the entire process from start to finish. He answered all of my crazy questions day in and night and reassured me since this was our first trip to Costa Rica. We met Edgar when we checked in and gave us a tour of his amazing home and provided insight on what to expect. Photos were exactly as advertised and looked even better in person. Super close to the beach. Edgar's attention to detail during our stay has exceeded all of our expectations. He provided everything that you can imagine: Fully stocked the fridge with so many beverages, provided so many toys for my 4 yr old son, & every bathroom was fully stock with everything that we needed and more. He has spoiled us! (I/we have never experienced this from an Airbnb Host). Had a personal masseuse stop by and Elizabeth was amazing! Chef Alberto cooked for us and food was amazing! Book them!

I was on a bit of a "working vacation" with some entrepreneur friends and we found Edgar's home to be a perfect fit for the experience we were trying to create. The location was remote and quiet, allowing us to get a ton of work done, while also enjoying the natural environment, taking frequent dips in the ocean and the pool. Edgar also introduced us to a private chef, Alberto who prepared all our meals for the length of the stay which was an incredible experience. Grilled lobster, Octopus, Ceviche, and Brazilian BBQ were just a few of the highlights. I will definitely considering staying again in the future. Edgar was also a great host, even driving down from San Jose to greet us personally and give us a tour of the property. Thanks again!

Repeating what virtually every guest has said about Edgar and his home seems redundant but it’s all so true and then some! From the first communication to our return drive to the airport, Edgar was constantly in touch to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay in his home. He made excellent recommendations for things to do and was so thoughtful in all his special touches at the rental, from stocking the fridge with juices and water when we arrived to providing every backup toiletry imaginable. We also particularly enjoyed having Chef Alberto cook a wonderful multi-course BBQ dinner for us and would highly recommend his services! The house itself is spectacular - exactly as the photos suggest. The location is very private yet accessible to a variety of things to do and we loved the charming family neighborhood. And waking up every morning to such a beautiful view made us feel like we were in paradise every day. You absolutely can’t go wrong staying in Edgar’s home!

I planned this vacation at least 4 months in advance; that's how long Mr. Edgar kept in contact. He has been truly amazing from day one. I informed him that I was Coasting over into my 40's and wanted to spend my Birthday at his place. He immediately messaged me back and inform me that he would love to be my host.  I told him the things that I was interested in doing while over there and gathered me a detailed list of activities to do. As the time was drawing near, he reached out to me making sure everything was lined up as to what I wanted to do for as activities due to things books up fast. He provided me with my own Birthday Cake, every(all) rooms was fully stocked with all the unthinkable, fridge stocked with waters, juice and etc.… Mr. Edgar really invest in his client's happiness and making them feel at home away from home. He made sure I was happy. He even went out of his way to provide me with a fan, now that's love. The home is even beautiful in person. It took my breath away.

What an amazing beach vacation! We were looking for a place that wasn’t full of tourists and this was perfect. Multiple restaurants that you could walk to and everyone was so friendly. Even caught a big catfish off the beach fishing one day. Edgar is an amazing host.

Awesome house...the monkeys were my favorite part!

Edgar epitomizes what it means to be a Superhost. He is genuinely excited to share his home as evidenced by his exceptional hospitality. He greeted our family with open arms, had a fridge filled with water and juices, and went out of his way to provide our kids with thoughtful gifts. Anything you can imagine needing he has a solution for. He was very communicative providing recommendations for any questions. The house itself looks like it’s out of Dwell magazine. Situated right on the beach, you’ll hear the waves and sounds of nature. The modern living comes at no expense to a comfy stay as the thoughtfulness of the architecture makes you feel at relaxed and at home. We also took the recommendations of other guests and booked Chef Alberto for an evening. He provided a memorable meal. Bring your appetite if you hire him. Playa Tivives is an excellent choice if you’re looking for an experience off the beaten path with a host that wants to do all he can to make a memorable stay.

Edgar’s  place was the perfect place for our family of 5 to relax for a few days. Only stayed three nights but truly enjoyed the house, pool and walks on the beach. Didn’t really leave the place other than to eat at either Costa Linda or the other place down the street on the ocean (can’t remember name). Only disappointment we had was no monkey sightings. As a lot of other folks have mentioned, we had Chef Alberto one night and he was incredible!  All three courses were amazing!  Worth every penny. Edgar himself was very responsive and helpful as well as proactive to assist!  Was nice that he and his wife greeted us at arrival. Some reviews mentioned the road was bad on the way in,  we did not find that to be the case. Road is paved from highway to entrance of the community, then gravel road within the community but nothing bad.  We greatly appreciate all the waters and juices, along with all the extra toiletries!! So relaxing!! Thank you!

What an amazing stay we had here. Edgar is a great host. You will find that every detail has been covered here. Extra everything in case you may arrive and realize you forgot something at home. Edgar even took the time to point us in the perfect direction when it came to eating out. The local restaurant Costa Linda was so fantastic that we ended up having 4 meals there in our short stay. You can just sit back on the patio next to the pool and watch the parrots and macaws fly over, or you can walk the road to see iguanas and monkeys. When we come back to Costa Rica in the future, we will for sure be staying with Edgar in this beautiful and well maintained home.

Very comfortable, spacious with the beach in front, ideal for family accommodation and comfortable... Thank you

Muy confortable amplia con la playa al frente, ideal para alojamiento en Familia y confortable… Gracias

Exceptionally great host, had a lovely time at this beautiful beach villa and would love to come back soon!

I stayed here for my birthday trip and we were a party of 6. The home is beautiful. Had all the amenities needed to make a great stay and Edgar who is super responsive went above and beyond to not only greet us with champagne but also had a fully stocked fridge of water, beverages, and a birthday cake for me! There were essentials and toiletries in every bed room for our use. The masseuse and chef Alberto come highly recommended. I enjoyed both services, be sure to book them while you're there! Costa Linda, the family owned restaurant about 5 mins away is also great! 👌🏽 I'm not sure if it was the season or the construction work going on in nearby homes, but we found the beach to be dirty and not picturesque. The waves and tides are also very strong and high, so not a beach for swimming or taking a dive in. Tankfully we had the swimming pool for that. Edgar is a great host and will do what he can to make your stay 👌🏽

We had a great stay Edgar's place.  The views are even better than the pictures.  Edgar was very responsive helpful with any questions we had.

The best host you could ask for. The place was amazing. More around the area than you think. A couple of restaurants where you can buy wine and food to go if you want. We all really enjoyed our stay. Edgar thinks of everything you could possibly need. He goes above and beyond.

Edgar's home was beautiful and private. The pool was refreshing and the beautiful black sand beach was only a few steps away. On the day before our arrival he kept in contact with me to ensure that he was there to greet us. He gave us a very thorough and welcoming tour of the home and property. We were amazed at how thoughtful he was in making sure that the guests felt right at home. The kitchen was fully equipped with spices, coffee, tea and he had the refrigerator stocked with water and juice. Edgar recommended an awesome chef - Alberto and mixologist Danny to prepare an excellent meal to celebrate my husbands retirement. The food and drinks were amazing. Everyone truly enjoyed that evening. Edgar was so thoughtful and so welcoming to his home. Every detail was thought of and we highly recommend his home and Chef Alberto and Danny.

We've traveled a lot and stayed in many Airbnbs, but Edgar and his place have been the most special! We wanted a  quiet location nestled among locals. Edgar's place is perfect for tranquility, peace, beautiful wildlife and incredible views. You're steps away from the beach and incredible sunsets. The beach is quiet with only a handful of people - it's like having a private beach!  Both of our kids, 13 and 11 year old, enjoyed swimming in the ocean every day! We would take daily walks on the beach, use the outdoor shower to clean the sand off and then hop into the pool for the ultimate cooldown. Edgar made sure the kids had all the water toys and pool floats. Our fridge was fully stacked with waters, sodas and juices. The kitchen had everything you could think of and more! Bathrooms were stacked with personal care items. The house is absolutely stunning-clean, modern and has everything you need. We also loved Costa Linda for dinners (Ingrid and her family were amazing)! THANK YOU EDGAR!

I know it’s repetitive, but all the superlatives are accurate. Edgar is a dream host - responsive, kind, helpful and willing to go above and beyond with anything you need.    The house is very large, with comfortable beds and bedding, and is super stocked with toiletries, beach supplies, kitchen supplies and soft drinks of all kinds. Alberto , the chef, was easy to work with and a fantastic chef. Make sure you are extremely hungry when he comes!  We availed ourselves of the pool and the ocean several times a day. Beautiful beach for walks.  Thank you, Edgar!

Edgar was a fabulous host! He greeted us with bottles of champagne and a birthday cake! He also had a gift (bracelet making kit) for my girls! He walked us through the whole house explaining everything about the house. He was reachable for any questions. The location was superb! We walked the beach daily -one end has cliffs to explore and the other end is where the river meets the ocean-very cool to explore. (Be mindful of the wildlife at the river). We woke up to parrots singing every morning. The kids loved seeing the iguana at the pool in the afternoons. The sunsets were spectacular! We ate at two restaurants the were walkable - both delicious. Edgar gave excellent recommendations for activities, etc. Edgar is extremely personable and we felt like extended family!! We created long lasting happy memories at this house! Much love to the community and Edgar! Pura Vida!

Beautiful and private location where you can easily see and hear waves from the master bedroom. The beach is also very clean and not crowded. So far, Edgar is the best Airbnb host in my opinion. His attention to details was amazing. He provided everything we needed and even more. He took the time to give recommendations on places to see, restaurants, activities, etc. Even the tour guide he recommended (Ingrid) was awesome. He also recommended a massage service with Elizabeth and private chef service Alberto. They were both professional, friendly and provided outstanding service. Chef Alberto even provided extra dish for us to try (parrotfish) and took his time to ensure we enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend staying at this location if you’re looking for a great experience.

Beautiful place! The villa is very close to the sea, the pool is very clean and this house will meet all your expectations …You won't miss anything with Edgar. A really good host who does everything to make your stay very pleasant. He always answers all our questions very quickly. Cleaners even come to go their turn during your stay It's a very quiet and safe neighborhood. In short, I highly recommend it.

Magnifique endroit! La villa est très près de la mer, la piscine est très propre et cette maison répondra à toutes vos attentes …Vous ne manquerez de rien avec Edgar. Un très bon hôte qui fait tout pour que votre séjour soit très agréable. Il répond toujours très rapidement à tous nos questions . Des femmes de ménage viennent même faire leur tour pendant votre séjour. C’est un quartier très tranquille et sécuritaire . Bref, je vous le conseil fortement.

If you are looking for a luxurious and comfortable living space right on the beach, you need to stay here. The host Edgar is extremely friendly, accessible, and over the top accommodating. He recommended a massage service and private chef to visit the house and both were awesome. Chef Alberto served incredible food that even our pickiest eater enjoyed. Edgar also recommended we visit Tortuga Island for a day trip and we were so glad we did. We saw dolphins, wild pigs, howler and spider monkeys on the island. At the house we were visited by red parrots and iguanas. The house had everything we needed and was in a secluded area that allowed all the privacy to relax we were looking for. I HIGHLY recommend staying here!

Edgar's home was a wonderful getaway for our group of 6! We loved spending time at the pool and on the essentially private beach (we found the ocean to be very swimmable), and the location offered easy access to a variety of different day trip activities - a catamaran trip to Tortuga Island, an afternoon in Manuel Antonio, and trips to Carara, Jaco, and Puntarenas. Everything was as described, the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything you could need, and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. Edgar was exceptionally accommodating, allowing us to check in early when our flight got changed last minute, and offering tons of recommendations on things to do in the area. We also booked Chef Alberto to come and cook for us one night and would highly recommend that experience! He was very responsive and able to make accommodations for dietary restrictions in our group, and everything was delicious!

This place was worth every penny! The area is very private and relaxing. The house is so beautiful it makes you not wanna go outside. Anything you could think of or might have forgotten to pack was on here ! (Literally). Edgar the host was extremely attentive and friendly! We arrived on my birthday and he greeted us with a cake and champagne! We loved every bit of our stay! My only suggestion for new travelers would be to rent a car to easily get around as the location can be quite a distance from most attractions. Other than that I would recommend this amazing place to anyone and hope to come back one day 🫶🏻

Best host we ever had in an Airbnb. From day one, when we inquired about the place Edgar was really helpful. Quick to answer all our questions with a lot of useful informations (what to bring/provided, activities, stores to go for food, tips). We had no problem getting there (despite what some said). A part of the road is gravel but in good condition. The house is simply wonderful. The view, the layout, the pool, the outdoor space, big enough, many bathrooms. Edgar had bought toys for the kids to play with. Drinks in the fridge for our arrival. There's a backup of everything you can think of in terms of toiletries and useful items (bug repellent, shaving cream, aloe, sewing kit, toothbrush) Ask about Alberto (private chef), he's awesome and it was really worth it to have him come cook for us one night. Jaco is an hour away, Isla Tortuga tour with Costa Cat was super, Costa Linda (restaurant 10 min walk) is delicious. The sea is swimmable, beach is superb and intimate. Pura vida!

Edgar was an excellent host from start to finish, very quick to respond and fix issues, unfortunately we had an extenuating circumstance for which we had to leave early, but apart from that everything was perfect! Thank you very much

Edgar fue un excelente anfitrión de principio a fin, muy rápido contestando y solucionando los problemas, lamentablemente tuvimos un problema de fuerza mayor por el que nos tuvimos que retirar antes de tiempo, pero aparte de eso todo estuvo perfecto! Muchas gracias

Beautiful, private location where we hardly saw another person the the black sand beach. Great for playing in the waves, going for a short run, and looking for seashells. Saw iguanas and macaws every day. The house is very well taken care of. It is located about 30 mins from a grocery store (not counting the numerous fruit stands) so grab your food before you arrive so you can cook. Lots of pots, pans and kitchen gear. Last 10 mins or so of road is pretty rough but you get used to it. We hired Chef Alberto to come in one evening to cook a meal for us. It was vegetarian and it was so so fantastic. Highly recommend! Host Edgar has his contact info. Beds were comfy and bedrooms are air conditioned. Wonderful outdoor living spaces, where we spent most of our time when we were at the house. Thanks for the unforgettable visit!

Amazing host and wonderful house. Highly recommended. We were a family with multiple kids under 8. Place was great as everyone enjoyed the pool set-up. Would also recommend having Chef Alberto in to cook a dinner. Meal was delicious but entire experience with him was fantastic - he’s a great person.

The property was awesome! There was plenty of extra sundries and they had spices, juices and coffee. Edgar had cleaning maids come by a couple of times. We also had chef Alberto, Edgar knows fix dinner a couple of nights. The dishes were amazing. We enjoyed the pool and the view of the beach.  In Jaco we did zip line, atv riding, and a catamaran trip to Tortuga island. The only thing was everyone wished they had more towels. We would definitely come back again.
