This beautiful villa is on the expansive 4-mile longTambor Beach in Bahía Ballena (Whale Bay), located within the gated community of Los Delfines Golf and Country Club in Tambor, Costa Rica. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the whole front of the house (upstairs and down) offer incredible views of the unbelievable beach paradise outside. 3 bedrooms and an alcove w/ bed, each with ensuite bathroom. Great patio overlooking ocean and pool on the side shared with 7 other villas. Come live in paradise! The space Hello! About 6 years ago we stayed at this beach house and it was so amazing that we bought it! (Luckily the owners had bought another gorgeous house and wanted to sell this one.) The villa is one of a kind in this gated community as it sits at the edge of a park, thus having more privacy than the rest of the development. (I especially like to hear and watch the howler monkeys in the trees in the park 25 ft from the front door. The other morning, we saw over 20 in those trees, some with babies hanging onto moms.) When we first walked into the house we were blown away by the view. I swear, it looks like a picture postcard, complete with palm trees, broad sandy beach and beautiful blue ocean. I'm pretty sure the gods photoshopped that view! There are air-conditioning units and large ceiling fans in every room. The downstairs has an open floor plan with a large dining/living area and a custom, well-appointed kitchen with teak wood cabinets, quartz countertops and brand new appliances. An alcove off the living room has a semi-private queen size day bed with its own full bathroom. The two sliding doors open to a patio with a sectional couch, a small raised table and stools, and a large live-wood table that sits up to 10 people all covered by a new roof which, along with the surrounding palm trees, creates a perfect covered outdoor space, complete with a propane barbecue grill. Two large hammocks are waiting for you to lay down and read a book or take a nap. Up the curved staircase are the three bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and again with the floor-to-ceiling windows! The master suite has a large balcony along two sides of the bedroom overlooking that fantastic view with new fans, a king-sized bed, and a large bathroom with ocean views from the shower. (I love to sit out there in the early mornings in the cool breeze, watch the scarlet macaws swoop by in pairs and just marvel at the view. I also love sleeping at night with all the doors and windows open listening to the ocean waves.) The other two ensuite bedrooms also have walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. This villa sits on an expansive, 4-mile beach with nice soft black sand...easy to walk on, and a very gradual slope to the beach. (I counted them today...it's 75 steps to the water at high tide; 240 steps at low tide). It's not a great surfing beach since it's in a bay, but it's a fantastic swimming beach. However, the previous owner says she did manage to surf here sometimes. For your enjoyment, there should be a surfboard and 3 boogie boards. (I'm wanting to try paddleboarding in this bay on a very quiet day!) Oh yes, and there's a nice pool just about 25 steps from the patio that we share with only seven other houses. (My new early morning routine is to run on the beach, play in the waves for a bit, have a dunk in the pool, and then have breakfast on my balcony. Did I mention the incredible view?) On-site amenities include a beautiful 9-hole golf course, alfresco restaurant on the beach, grocery/convenience store, bank machine, pro shop, rentals, and guided tours. There are lots of places to go and things to do in the area. How about a boat tour to Tortuga Island to see the turtles, a visit to the Curú Wildlife Refuge, horseback riding on the beach, take a short hike to local waterfalls and swimming in their pools, experience a Montezuma zipline canopy tour and jumping off the cliff over a waterfall, or exploring the well-known surf towns of Montezuma and Santa Teresa for some great restaurants, shopping, and fun nightlife? And when you're done with the adventures and hustle and bustle, come home to the peace and quiet of your Tambor beach getaway. (I'm sure it can get busier, especially during Easter Week, but I've rarely seen more than 10 people on the whole 4-mile long beach at one time. More often than not, I'm the only one on the beach. It's like having your own personal beach and bay!) There’s a well-stocked convenience store within the gated community, a (slightly) bigger store in the town of Tambor just down the road, or a couple of bigger grocery stores about 25 minutes away in Cóbano. If you don't want to cook, there's a charming open-air restaurant just a nice stroll across the park next to the house with great food and very friendly owners. And if that's not enough, the villa is also located just down the walkway within the community from one of Costa Rica’s nicest golf courses. Only about 3-4 hrs from San José, depending on traffic, across a ferry, or a 30 minute ride in a small prop plane to the local airport in Cóbano only 25 minutes away. Come make yourself at home at a true tropical paradise! (Can you tell I'm in love with this house?...and the view!! I must be dreaming!) Guest access As a guest you will have access to the whole house (with the exception of a couple of owner storage areas), the patio and furniture, grill, and hammock, the community pool 25 steps from the house, the lounge chairs dotted along the line of palm trees at the edge of the beach, and, of course, the whole 4-mile beach.

## The Space

This beautiful villa is situated on the expansive 4-mile-long Tambor Beach in Bahía Ballena (Whale Bay), within the gated community of Los Delfines Golf and Country Club in Tambor, Costa Rica. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the entire front of the house, both upstairs and downstairs, providing breathtaking views of the stunning beach and ocean.

The villa includes three bedrooms and an alcove with a bed, each featuring an ensuite bathroom. A spacious patio overlooks the ocean and a shared pool, which is shared with only seven other villas.

About six years ago, after staying at this beach house and falling in love with it, we purchased it when the previous owners decided to sell. This villa is unique within the gated community because it borders a park, offering more privacy than other homes. The park is home to howler monkeys, which can often be seen and heard just 25 feet from the front door.

Upon entering the house, the view immediately captivates you, resembling a picture-perfect postcard with palm trees, a broad sandy beach, and the beautiful blue ocean.

Every room is equipped with air conditioning units and large ceiling fans. The open floor plan downstairs includes a large dining and living area along with a custom kitchen featuring teak wood cabinets, quartz countertops, and brand-new appliances.

An alcove off the living room contains a semi-private queen-size daybed with its own full bathroom. Two sliding doors open to a covered patio furnished with a sectional couch, a small raised table with stools, and a large live-wood table seating up to ten people. The patio is shaded by a new roof and surrounded by palm trees, creating an ideal outdoor living space complete with a propane barbecue grill. Two large hammocks are also available for relaxing or reading.

Upstairs, a curved staircase leads to the three bedrooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows and an ensuite bathroom. The master suite features a large balcony wrapping around two sides of the room, offering spectacular ocean views. It includes new fans, a king-size bed, and a spacious bathroom with an ocean-view shower. Early mornings on the balcony are perfect for enjoying the cool breeze and watching scarlet macaws flying by. At night, you can sleep comfortably with all doors and windows open, listening to the sound of the waves.

The other two bedrooms also boast walls of glass, providing plenty of natural light and views.

## Location and Beach

The villa sits on a soft black sand beach that stretches for four miles. The sand is easy to walk on, and the beach has a gentle slope into the ocean. At high tide, it is approximately 75 steps to the water, and at low tide, about 240 steps.

While the bay does not offer ideal surfing conditions, it is excellent for swimming. The previous owner occasionally surfed here. For guests’ enjoyment, there is a surfboard and three boogie boards available. Paddleboarding is also a great option on calm days.

The community pool is just 25 steps from the patio and is shared with only seven other houses.

## Amenities and Activities

On-site amenities include:

- A beautiful 9-hole golf course  
- An alfresco restaurant on the beach  
- Grocery and convenience store  
- ATM  
- Pro shop  
- Equipment rentals  
- Guided tours  

Nearby activities offer a variety of experiences, such as:

- Boat tours to Tortuga Island to see turtles  
- Visits to the Curú Wildlife Refuge  
- Horseback riding on the beach  
- Short hikes to local waterfalls with swimming pools  
- Montezuma zipline canopy tours and cliff jumping over waterfalls  
- Exploring the surf towns of Montezuma and Santa Teresa for dining, shopping, and nightlife  

Despite these attractions, the beach remains peaceful and uncrowded. Even during busier times like Easter Week, it is rare to see more than ten people on the entire four-mile stretch. Often, you may have the beach all to yourself.

## Nearby Services

Within the gated community, there is a well-stocked convenience store. A slightly larger store is located in the town of Tambor, just a short drive away. For more extensive shopping, grocery stores are available about 25 minutes away in Cóbano.

If you prefer dining out, a charming open-air restaurant is just a pleasant walk across the park next to the house. It offers great food and friendly service.

The villa is also conveniently located near one of Costa Rica’s finest golf courses, accessible via a short walkway within the community.

## Transportation

The property is approximately 3 to 4 hours from San José, depending on traffic, including a ferry crossing. Alternatively, a 30-minute flight on a small propeller plane lands at the local airport in Cóbano, which is about 25 minutes from the villa.

## Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire house, except for a few owner storage areas. The patio, outdoor furniture, grill, and hammocks are available for use. The community pool is just steps away, along with lounge chairs positioned along the palm-lined edge of the beach.

Of course, guests can enjoy the entire four-mile beach that stretches along the property.

Villa in Costa Rica

A golden opportunity to sleep to the rhythm of the waves and wake up with a sublime sea view!!! We enjoyed the very tastefully furnished and decorated beach house! It is fully equipped with all amenities. You get tips for nice restaurants nearby. The pool was hugely enriching and refreshing! Highly recommended!!! We can also highly recommend the excursion with Tavos to Isla Tortuga!!!

Een gouden kans om in te slapen op het ritme van de golven en te ontwaken met een subliem zicht op zee!!! We genoten van het zeer smaakvol ingerichte en gedecoreerde strandhuis! Het is volledig uitgerust met alle voorzieningen. Je krijgt tips voor lekkere restaurantjes in de buurt. Het zwembad was enorm verrijkend en verfrissend! Een echte aanrader!!! Ook de uitstap met Tavos naar Isla Tortuga kunnen we warm aanbevelen!!!

We had a magical stay and I so hope I’ll be able to return at some point. The location was just fabulous. I was able to really relax and enjoy life….I can’t say enough good things about our time….We had a wonderful trip!!!!

This beautiful home is large, comfortable, and aesthetically appealing. It faces a lovely beach which was empty most of the time we were there - only a few families every day.  The home is in a golfing community - we do NOT golf, but felt very comfortable here  because the other residents were very friendly. We enjoyed the restaurant which is literally a 2-minute walk from the home. Beyond the restaurant is open space, which allows for a lot of wildlife to pass through the yard - iguanas, raccoons, and macaws. 
We were exceedingly at home here and would love to return. Jeanette's kitchen is stocked better than my own kitchen at home.

Our family had the best vacation at Jeannette's beautiful beach home.  Such an amazing property with incredible views and access to the peaceful beach.  We had everything we needed at the property, and a very convenient grocery store and restaurant.  Visited the farmer's market the day after we arrived on Sunday morning and purchased local fish and produce from local vendors for the week.  We used Jeanette's recommended drivers and visited her recommended restaurants, and were able to go to the Montezuma waterfall, visit St. Theresa, and go on the Tortuga Island snorkeling tour.  We saw monkeys, iguanas, and the beautiful Macaws right on her property.  Thank you Jeannette for sharing your wonderful property with our family!

Had a lovely stay here - beautiful, relaxed beach with great wildlife!

Lovely location, community, and home.  We really hope to be back!

Jeannette’s place on the beach was amazing! Perfect for our family and easy to walk to the ocean and the pool

This was our second trip to Casa da la Karma.  We absolutely love the home, location and surrounding area.  The proximity to the beach and nature is breathtaking and the home itself carries the same vibe indoors.   Jeannette and Baz are both very responsive and do everything to make a trip to Costa Rica enjoyable and full of opportunities.  We are looking forward to our next adventure.   Pura Vida!!!

What a fantastic stay!!  The house was absolutely gorgeous and comfortable with so much space and comfy beds and couches (which we didn’t use much because we were always outdoors!). The outdoor area was beyond incredible, and we spend most of our time on the patio area and at the pool which is steps away from the house.  The ocean is right there… also steps away from the back door.  We were fortunate to witness the baby turtle release which was right behind the house.  Once in a lifetime experience!   Beach is gorgeous and we loved sleeping with the windows open listening to the waves crash. No need for AC despite 30 degree weather because of the ocean breeze.  We were greeted by 5 macaws in the backyard tree and regularly saw them around the property along with the howler monkeys.  Our last day, we saw 15 maccaws all in one tree roosting.  The most beautiful sight.  I can’t recommend Jeanette’s place enough.  Thank you for a spectacular vacation! We highly recommend! Pura Vida!

We had an excellent time at Jeanette’s, the house was fully stocked and the family had a great time playing with the board games and toys. Everything was spotless. Thank you for a great stay!

Great house by the beach, lots of space very conveniently located.

Look no further for your next beach getaway! This vacation rental is an absolute dream, exceeding every expectation for a perfect seaside escape. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a feeling of pure comfort and relaxation. Unforgettable Comfort and Charm The house is incredibly roomy, offering ample space for everyone to spread out and unwind without ever feeling cramped. Yet, despite its generous size, it retains an undeniably cozy atmosphere. Imagine sinking into plush sofas after a day in the sun, surrounded by tasteful decor that whispers "beach vacation." It's the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. Impeccable Cleanliness and Thoughtful Amenities Every corner of this house sparkles with cleanliness. It's clear the owner Jeannette takes immense pride in maintaining a pristine environment, which allows you to truly relax from the moment you arrive.

Hands down the most beautiful place we've visited. Our kids (6 &3) basically lived in the pool/bay for the 10 days we were there. We were the only unit rented out of the 8 houses, so we had the whole pool area to ourselves (and the beach most days too!). Our favorite part had to be the wildlife: howler monkeys in the trees right outside the house, countless scarlet macaws flying overhead, manta rays surfing the waves in the bay, and iguanas galore. Jeannette and Bas were wonderful communicators and so helpful with local recommendations. The setting is so beautiful that we didn't eat out once, just made food in the incredibly well stocked kitchen and ate outside with the view. Some helpful tips: 1) bring sleep masks. The curtains don't block much light and the sun rises at 5:30am making early mornings for kids! 2) It took us 7 hours each way from San Jose (traffic, ferry wait, ferry ride, etc.) so it's a commitment to visit. But oh, so worth it! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay. The beach was beautiful and so close. The water was warm. The surrounding was beautiful. We had monkeys and Scarlet macaws. The house was comfortable.

We feel like we hit a jackpot finding this place! Amazing location right on the beach! The house has such a great layout, spotless and has everything you could think of! Floor to ceilings windows open up beautiful views of the ocean and perfectly maintained surroundings from bedrooms, main room and the kitchen! Even when taking a shower and brushing your teeth in the bathroom you get the ocean view!!!!! This place feels so safe! Security 24/7! Delicious coffee place and a nice restaurant just steps away. Well stocked grocery store is just as couple minutes drive on the golf cart! We saw multiple macaws 🦜 and monkeys right by the house! Surroundings are blooming with flowers and beautiful trees! This place is magical! Our host Jeanette and her manager Sebastian were so helpful and friendly and quick to reach and just genuinely good people! We loved it! And you will love it too!!!

A fantastic location with a great host and manager.  Jeannette provided upfront information that helped our family settle right in.  There is something for everyone here, from those that wish to just have a relaxing stay by the beach and pool to those looking for adventure in the surrounding area and everything in between.  The property manager was very responsive and helpful with any questions or minor issues that we ran in to.  Steps from a restaurant and coffee shop, walking distance to a small grocery store and farmer's market.  Jeannette provided recommendations for many activities that could be done close by or in the surrounding area.  Amazing wildlife that could be viewed on and beside the property and a beautiful beach steps from the front door that was great for swimming...we had found our tropical paradise.

The house is one of the best places we have visited. Jeanette took care to inform us before and even during our stay! The decor is sublime and the house is equipped in a very smart way! Everything has been thought out! A trolley for the beach, accessories to enjoy the sea. Jeanette is an amazing host and she generously shares this little gem of a place! Thank you Jeanette!!!!!

La maison est un des plus beaux endroits que nous avons visité. Jeanette a pris soin de bien nous renseigner avant et même pendant notre séjour ! La décoration est sublime et la maison est équipée de façon très intelligente! Tout a été pensé! Un chariot pour la plage, des accessoires pour profiter de la mer. Jeanette est une hôte incroyable et elle partage généreusement ce petit bijou d’endroit ! Merci Jeanette !!!!!

We really enjoyed the house. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, with a large amount of cooking utensils, with basic ingredients (salt, pepper, sugar, in particular). The decoration is tasteful. The tables are large. The spacious windows allowed us to enjoy a superb sea view. There is the possibility of having air conditioning in all rooms. The pool is clean and beautiful. The surrounding atmosphere is peaceful. Jeannette answered our questions very quickly. An exceptional place to call home with a view and access to the sea.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la maison. Les lits sont très confortables, la cuisine est très bien équipée, avec une grande quantité d’ustensiles pour cuisiner, avec des ingrédients de base (sel, poivre, sucre, notamment). La décoration est de bon goût. Les tables sont grandes. Les fenêtres spacieuses nous permettaient de profiter du d’une vue sur la mer superbe. Il y a la possibilité d’avoir l’air climatisé dans toutes les pièces. La piscine est propre et belle. L’atmosphère environnante est paisible. Jeannette répondait à nos questions très rapidement. Un lieu d’exception où on se sent chez soi avec en prime une vue et un accès à la mer.

I can’t say enough good things about this gem of a house! The entire Los Delfines community is wonderful, but this is absolutely the best place on the whole property. The water is mere steps from the porch, across a nice lawn and soft sandy beach. The staff of Los Delfines were very welcoming as well. With recommendations from locals, we rode horses on the beach right from the house and went on a fishing/snorkeling tour after golfing for a few days. One of the best parts about Jeannette’s Air BnB is that it actually felt like a home. Every needed amenity was available, but more importantly it felt like we were guests of the family and not just renters in a staged home. The house was everything we needed for a mixture of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend!

What a fabulous setting! Right on the beach and nestled in palm trees and lush surroundings. We could spend all day watching the tides come in and out while listening to the macaws, other birds, and howler monkeys. The beach couldn't be closer and there's plenty of outdoor seating. The house is comfortable and the community includes a well-stocked grocery store, bar/restaurant a few feet away, 9-hole golf course, and pickleball (with the regulars willing to teach what they know). The nearby town of Tambor had decent restaurants, and we also enjoyed traveling to Montezuma, Santa Teresa, and the volcano area. Highly recommended!

This was my second trip to Costa Rica, this time with family including two young boys. The location is amazing, super convenient, secure and very private. The overall area has loads to do and the week went by very fast. Jeanette has put in a lot of thought, love and hard work in the place which shows. Additionally she is very responsive and helpful with local info. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We had the most wonderful time at Los Delfines! The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5. We enjoyed the flexibility of pool and beach easy access as well as the convenience of going into town and on excursions throughout our stay. The house is well equipped with everything we needed to cook and enjoy down time together as a family. Bas, the property manager, is friendly and helpful. We felt so safe with the gated community as well as the security monitoring the beach access and the lovely grounds maintenance person who provided local information. We enjoyed a hike at Montezuma Waterfalls, bioluminescence kayaking at Bahia Rica, and a visit to the Curú Wildlife Refuge while visiting. We would recommend all of these experiences (our children are ages 11, 9, and 5). We also had a great time singing Karaoke at the local restaurant, which is a short walk! The owners are super friendly and it made for a fun, easy evening. Jeanette, the owner, was also very responsive & friendly.

Jeanette’s house on the beach is superb. If you need a dreamy getaway far from the touristy areas and love to view wildlife, swim, relax, and read, this is the place. The beach is steps from the door. You can hear the ocean from every room in the house. One must not mind being awakened by howler monkeys and screeching Scarlett macaws because they make their rounds daily. We had an iguana that kept close eye on us daily, flocks of parakeets flitting between trees on the property. The house is very well equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, beach toys, etc.  We prepared most of our meals because we didn’t want to leave the house. We did do some excursions to Montezuma and Isla Tortuga. Call Tavo for boat ride out to the island, he will pick you up on the beach steps from the house and take you out with his lovely family and feed you, take you snorkeling and to private beaches. Eric delivered horses to our back door for beach riding. This place is better than the pictures, I promise.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful home, my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! Everything was as described and even better than we had imagined. We were able to see macaws daily and howler monkeys on a couple of occasions. The grounds and pool are immaculately kept and we had wonderful interactions with the grounds keeper as well as the property manager. If we have the opportunity to return to Costa Rica we will definitely stay again. Pura Vida!

This villa was amazing and we made many happy memories during our 15 day stay. The location in Los Delfines in the gated community offered many amenities and beautiful grounds to explore and view nature at its best. We saw Scarlett Macaws and Howler monkeys daily and as bird lovers we enjoyed the 100s of bird species we had never seen on our life list. The villa and all of its furnishings were very comfortable and well equipped with everything we could ever want in a beautiful beachfront location. We enjoyed our daily walks on the 4 mile beach and retreated in the heat of the day to our air conditioned retreat when needed. The floor to ceiling windows provided a fabulous view from inside the home and the expanded outdoor living space was covered where we enjoyed daily visits from the hummingbirds as well.  We started our day with the morning sunrises and beach walks and enjoyed the late afternoons enjoying the sunset in the pool. Thank you for hosting us in your lovely home!

So glad you took full advantage of the house and its amenities.  Come back again soon!  We'd love to host you again.  :)

Jeannette’s place so so uniquely decorated with the locally made wood work by Wilson. Beds were comfortable as well as the AC in 90 degree weather. By no fault of hers we weren’t impressed with the wildlife. I thought we would see, hear and enjoy more. Tortuga island was a flop because of high winds with lots of people on thier cell phones. Horse back riding was the best experience we had! Very well trained, sure footed, great gated Crillo horses. My daughter and I raced on the beach! We will go back to CR but next time to a rainforest… there is no grocery store at Los Dolphins and the cash machine never had money… Pura Vida!

This a beautiful place to stay for vacation. Stunning location right on the beach with extremely attractive landscaping. Overall, a very peaceful setting with the sound of the surf wafting into the bedrooms at night. It is very roomy, with beautiful natural wood furnishings and very pleasant indoor environment. Enjoyable natural surroundings with many birds and monkeys in the nearby forest.

Jeanette’s home and surroundings are even more beautiful in person. Location is great! Steps to the pool, beach and restaurant. The surf can be heard and seen throughout the house. The home is very comfortable and well stocked. Jeanette is very responsive and helpful. Bas the  property manager is absolutely amazing. He went over and above to ensure  our comfort and enjoyment. I highly recommend this property and we can’t wait to visit again! It’s truly paradise.

Excellent and more! A perfectly isolated tropical paradise and at the same time close to everything. Be careful in every detail and equipped with everything imaginable. The decor is very suitable and relaxing. Jeannette and Sebastian are wonderful hosts. Everything I describe does not reach, nor can the photos do justice to the beautiful of the place Just thank you for being able to experience unforgettable moments Recommended in all its forms, not doing so would be pure selfish. Thank you I would come back whenever I could

Excelente y más! Un paraíso tropical perfectamente aislado y a su vez cerca de todo. Cuidado en todos los detalles y equipado con todo lo imaginable. La decoración muy adecuada y relajante. Jeannette y Sebastian unos anfitriones maravillosos. Todo lo que describo no alcanza ni las fotos pueden hacer justicia con lo hermoso del lugar Solo agradecer haber podido experimentar momentos inolvidables Recomendable en todas sus formas, no hacerlo sería puro egoísmo. Gracias volvería siempre que pudiera

This is one of the better places we stayed at in Costa Rica. There is a lot to do here, including resting up in the beautiful home with great views from all parts of the house. Other guest might want to spend more time than we did.

This place is amazing!! We had a wonderful stay and it far exceeded our expectations! The location, access to wonderful boat tours, the rancho restaurant, the beach, the property manager, and the house itself were all absolutely fantastic. We were so sad to leave and we will definitely be back! Thanks so much for sharing this place with us. Pura vida!

Beautiful description, indeed an "amazing beach house on a beautiful and peaceful beach”. Delightfully furnished, every detail well thought out, and great views from every corner. It has a great location, you are part of a great community but also feel very private, just you, the beach, and the nature. Tours pick you up and drop you off right in front of the place—simply because it is so central while still being very peaceful. The Los Delfines community is super friendly as well, with great morning activities among others. Jeanette was wonderful with great recommendations and pointers and Sebastian very helpful and super responsive.

I don't think the pictures do this property justice. It was so beautiful, peaceful and quiet.  if I could give it 10 stars I would.  You literally have the entire beach to yourself.  And the home, oh it was so gorgeous inside and out.  It had everything you could ever need.  We didn't even venture out as pulling our daughters from the house and beach was impossible.  Jeanette is a wonderful host and Sebastian was always there to help us out or answer any questions we had. This was one of the best times we've ever had as a family!  We will be coming back.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the house as much as I do.  Whenever I go there I get such an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility.  I too have a hard time leaving, as do my grandchildren when they come.  We would love to have you back anytime!!

Of the best, it was like having our beach house, a wonderful and lovely place, I recommend it 1000x1000, I hope to be back soon.

De lo mejor por mucho, fue como tener nuestra casa en la playa, un lugar maravilloso y encantador, lo recomiendo 1000x1000, espero regresar pronto.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay. Place looked exactly like pictures but even better. Sebastian was very helpful and communicated effectively and quickly. The location is convenient and there’s even a restaurant near the back yard. I would definitely be back for another stay.

This house is perfect! It has everything you want and imagine. The location is impressive, the decor tasteful, the surroundings simply insane and the beach breathtaking. We immediately felt at home, it's really NOTHING to add, everything was great. I recommend this place to anyone, families, couples, friends...who want to combine nature, coziness, tranquility, beauty and enjoyment. Jeannette is an insanely great host. Just thank you!

Dieses Haus ist perfekt! Es hat alles was man sich wünscht und vorstellt. Die Lage ist beeindruckend, die Einrichtung geschmackvoll, die Umgebung einfach wahnsinnig und der Strand atemberaubend. Wir haben uns sofort zuhause gefühlt, es ist wirklich NICHTS hinzuzufügen, alles war großartig. Ich empfehle diese Unterkunft jedem, Familien, Paaren, Freunden...die Natur, Gemütlichkeit, Ruhe, Schönheit und Genuss verbinden möchten. Jeannette ist eine wahnsinnig tolle Gastgeberin. Einfach nur Danke!

This place blew me away. Even better than in the photos.

It was an incredible stay in a gorgeous beach home!!  You don't find a home this close to the beach very often.  It was such a treat to hear the monkeys in the morning and watch Scarlet Macaws and Hummingbirds during the day.  This is a one of a kind beach home!

Jeannette's place in Los Delfines is a hidden gem! Perfect beachfront house! We saw so many birds and monkeys, too! The beach was amazing and we enjoyed having access to a pool. Short walking distance to the local beach bar was also a plus! We enjoyed the kitchen amd bbq grill outside, and the nearby grocery store was stocked with all the essentials (including rum)! Short car ride to Montezuma as well! We are already making plans to return to Bahia Ballena :)

This is a piece of paradise for sure! The pictures don't give the place justice it is absolutely magical! The beach is beautiful, the house is amazing, and seriously the best airbnb that I have stayed in. I would 100% recommend it to anyone and everyone! I will also be returning. I could go on for hours, but you just need to see for yourself. True luxurious paradise!

Jeannette’s home on the beach was a fantastic experience in Costa Rica! We ended up canceling many of our activities because the location was so awesome. A pair of macaws landed in the hammock tree and fed for several hours giving us a great view of the birds. Our kids enjoyed the boogie boards and the pool was super refreshing. Will book again on our next trip to CR.

We stayed at Jeanette's place for a month with our family ranging in age from 2 to 82 and everyone had an amazing time. The house is perfect and had everything we could ever need. Bas, the property manager was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We had a few technical issues while we were there which were resolved promptly. The house is in the Los Delfines Golf & Country Club community which is gated and has security 24/7 in the community and on the beach who are very friendly and attentive. The beach is perfect for walking, running, playing in the sand, playing in the (fairly gentle) waves and always seemed to only have a handful of people on it. The grocery store at the entrance to the community is small but has all the basics. The Rancho restaurant next door has good food and the owners are so friendly and helpful. We loved watching the leaf cutter ants at work in the park between the house and the Rancho and even had a chance to see baby turtles on the beach!

Our first time in Costa Rica started in this amazing home. We stayed for 4 nights and give it our highest recommendation for luxury, prestine beach location & relazation. Our check-in was easy as we were greeted by our local host. He was responsive, friendly, and helpful. The home is gorgeous. The beach is gorgeous. The pool was gorgeous. The grounds were gorgeous. The beach felt safe with only a few other tourists. However, we noticed that our photos look as if we had the entire beach to ourselves in both directions. We drove to a local fishing area where we bought fresh fish for dinner in the well stocked kitchen & barbeque. We walked next door for pizza in the beach restaurant with music & fun! Be sure to rent a 4x4 car for the drive. We enjoyed day trips and dinners in Santa Theresa, Montezuma, and a local boat ride to see the biolumineescence via Racoon Tours. The home was our base for sunshine, beach walking & pampering. It is perfect for all ages.

This villa is amazing and Jeannette and her team were responsive and kept in touch.  Jeannette provided great local contacts and one of the chefs that she recommended (Treavor) was wonderful and ended up cooking for us 4 times!  She also recommended a local boat captain (Javier) and we had a wonderful day with his crew.  The place is great, if you ever decide to sell - CALL ME!

Thank you Jeannette, for this beautiful experience at your beach house, we had the best time,  the photographs were short of how beautiful the place is, kind regards. 🤗

Gracias Jeannette, por esta hermosa experiencia en tu casa de Playa,  la pasamos de lo mejor,  las fotografías se quedaron cortas con lo hermosa que es el lugar , saludos cordiales. 🤗

This place exceeded my expectations! The home itself was even better than the photos. Nice, spacious layout. Cute decorations. It is incredibly well stocked with games, water toys, floaties, snorkels and fins, kitchen supplies, extra blankets and pillows, sunscreen and bug spray - everything and more that you would need or want! And, the view and location are just incomparable! Macaws were in the trees outside nearly every day, iguanas hung out on the decks, and geckos taking care of the bugs at night! Jeannette was incredibly helpful with recommendations! I had even asked about a massage therapist to come to the house and she researched one for me! She had recommended Javier with Pura Vida Expeditions, and we did several trips with them and enjoyed them. Sebastian, the house manager, was VERY communicative and available should we need him. This was an incredible stay and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!

Couldn't have been better ! It's the perfect house and place. We had an absolutely wonderful time ! We highly recommend it! Thank you Sebastian for always being aware of us.

No podía ser mejor !!! Es la casa y el lugar perfectos. Pasamos unos días absolutamente maravillosos ! La súper recomendamos !! Gracias Sebastián por estar siempre al tanto de nosotros.

The villa was perfect in every way, every detail was thought of. The location was truly out of this world. The beach was gorgeous and private. The amount of rays in the water was incredible. My children could not get over how perfect everything was. I truly would give this Airbnb a million stars if I could. My family will remember this experience for a lifetime. You really get an authentic Costa Rican experience in this part of the country. From the macaws to the howler monkeys, it was just incredible. The villa is fully stocked with everything and anything you could need during your stay. Jeannette’s recommendations were absolutely perfect. Her communication was wonderful. I truly couldn’t recommend this Airbnb more.

Wow oh wow. Jeannette is amazing! She made this whole trip so smooth for my family and I. This place is absolutely beautiful and it was the best trip I have taken with my family!! Truly the best place to Airbnb 💕

We loved our stay here! Very comfortable for 7 people to stay. Lots of space for everyone. Kitchen was stocked with the basics which made it easy to prepare meals for the family. Fresh fish is available from the fisherman at the other end of the bay… we ate fresh fish all week! We utilized all the extra toys that Jeanette had available. Books, games, boogie board, colouring markers, sand toys. Pool is fantastic. Beach was great for swimming, especially for the kids. The ocean was full of manta rays which took some getting used to but the kids ended up loving swimming with them. Jeanette even called us to let us know about a baby turtle release happening. Truly an experience of a lifetime! We had a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!

It was excellent. House was clean and large. Location is impeccable. 11 out of 10 best in show.

Great place! Very comfy. Great spot too! Don't hesitate.

The house, the views are beyond perfect for a relaxing vacation.

We loved Jeannette’s property. It was well equipped, comfortable, spacious. Owner and co-host were really welcoming, and provided all kind of useful information. We enjoyed the location as the property is a beach-front house.

This is such a beautiful house it’s hard to do justice to it. It sits right on a 4-mile beach that’s fringed by the rainforest - and importantly it’s a good swimming beach. Many local beaches look amazing but have strong rip tides. So we loved that the children were safe to play in the waves. The house is very well-equipped - everything has been thought of from cooking to playing on the beach. There are fans and air-con, very comfortable beds, tables big enough for everyone to eat together indoors or out, thoughtful touches like a basket of very high factor sunscreen & bug spray, games and books, lovely rooms to sit in and watch the macaws and listen to the howler monkeys. A pool that is shared but feels private. We couldn’t think of anything to improve the house. Sebastian helped us with whatever we needed & was quickly and cheerfully available with taxi numbers, local recommendations & practical assistance. A couple of tips to make the most of your time here - make sure you bring enough cash before you arrive as it’s not always easy to get locally (there is an ATM on site but it was broken most of the time & it’s a fair drive to the nearest ATM). You’ll need cash for the lovely pizza restaurant a stone’s throw from the house and some other local shops and cafes (tho plenty others take cards). Secondly, we flew from San Jose to Tambor airport (5 mins away) which was an adventure in itself - tiny plane and breathtaking views. We managed fine with walking and a local taxi driver for the first few days and could have been happy with just enjoying the very local environment. But it’s easy to hire a car from Budget nearby and that allowed us to explore further like Montezuma, a couple of wildlife/rainforest refuges (Curu is amazing), and local towns. Apart from the pizza bar - open only Thurs-Sun - there isn’t really anywhere to eat within walking distance and although you can get basic provisions at the shop on site you’ll need to drive/take a taxi for about 20 mins to get to a bigger supermarket to get provisions to cook. With the car we found loads of lovely local cafes within 10 mins drive. We can also highly recommend the boat trip to Tortuga Island and then swimming in the bioluminescence. Totally magical! Jeanette provides details of the company who can take you. If you’re finding it hard to know where to go in Costa Rica- go here! We’ve had a holiday of a lifetime and can’t believe how lucky we were to stay at Jeanette’s place.

This is the PERFECT beach vacation home!! From fun game night (games provided) to coffee on the patio watching the scarlet macaws and howler monkeys every morning, we had an amazing time!  The house is even bigger and more beautiful than the photos show. It's also gorgeously decorated and showcases Wilson's handiwork in 3 different, unique tables on the property.  Wilson and Lucy own the pizza ranchero/bar next door (past a green space), and one of our most memorable, impromptu, fun nights happened when we went there, intending to get just dinner and a drink. It quickly turned into an international party complete with dancing, karaoke, and far more drinks than we intended! :)  People were there from Mexico, Australia, Canada, Germany, the U.S., Costa Rica, Nicaragua, etc. We all had a great time together, dancing, singing, and being silly with friends and families from different parts of the globe.  No language barriers existed.  There was no political or religious talk, just tons of smiles, laughter, and beautiful people coming together, showing one another respect, humor, and love.  It's the Costa Rican way, and made me fall even more in love with this country and location! Being able to walk right next door to get there was so convenient, but when we returned home, we were able to sleep peacefully without any noise seeping in the house.  We used the pool daily and were often the only ones there.  One afternoon, 2 of our neighbors were also there and they were lovely people we got to know.  Being able to listen to the waves crashing on the beach at night was simply magical.  We loved walking the private 4 mile stretch of beach every day at low tide, as well.  Sebastian, the house manager, couldn't have been more helpful and nice. He was easy to communicate with and helped us with whatever we needed, instantly. The views from the back porch were stunningly gorgeous and I already miss it so much!  When we return to Tambor, I'd love to rent this house again. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our trip and stay so memorable and wonderful!

Place was amazing!  Exceeded our expectations. Right on the beach, plenty of room and so close to the beach!  Jeannette was spot on with the food recommendations. We loved the authentic food at every place. Made friends with the amazing Wilson and Lucy at El Rancho and enjoyed several karaoke nights there!  Thank you for having us in your home.

We had a lovely stay and I can only recommend this. This place is just awesome. We received very good and clear communication before and during the stay. Responses are very quick.

Absolutely the best place we have stayed. Every room has its own bathroom so it was perfect and comfortable for everyone. This house is as amazing as it looks. The kitchen was stocked for anything you need. They have thought of everything. Sebastian met us and even helped us order food. He was so kind and helpful. It was nice to know we had someone so friendly if we needed him. I would highly recommend!

Let me start with the fact that most of ventures in my adult life out of the USA have been on a cruise ship. This was our first vacation of this sort and I was very apprehensive about it all. I had only booked long weekends at a few different Airbnbs prior to this. I was so incredibly nervous and afraid I was going to get scammed or end up somewhere that had been misrepresented. I researched so many different rentals and read what felt like hundreds of reviews "before" I finally decided to reach out to Jeanette. The vacation fairies were looking over me for sure - - because Jeanette was such a gift! I'm sure I had to be driving her crazy with all of my questions. Her Airbnb designation as a "premier" host undersells her for sure. Jeanette is an "AMAZING" host! The onsite property manager she uses, "Sebastian" ranks right up there with her. Always a phone call away and incredibly helpful - loved him too. Sebastian is the reason we were able to employ two fabulous cooks by the name of Ana and Esperanza. We wanted to experience traditional Costa Rican cooking during our stay and these two women did not disappoint! We are so blessed to have met them and have them as friends. Highly recommend them if you are looking to have the villa stocked before you arrive and are looking to enjoy some authentic Costa Rican cuisine. Some of the reviews I read on Jeanette's site - used the words "exceeded our expectations" and this could not be more true! Such a wonderfully maintained, spacious and beautifully decorated villa. The pool is steps away and the beach is in your front yard. You literally are hearing the waves crash to the shore 24-7 - and we loved it so. We stayed during the first ten days of May - the end of the busy season and the first week of the rainy season. I'm happy to say that what I was told was true - as when it did rain it was usually at night. The days were filled with sunshine. Such amazing thunder and lightening shows over the ocean most evenings - just beautiful. Another highlight of staying at Jeanette's villa is the outdoor bar and restaurant that is a short walk from the villa. The owners and staff are so inviting and friendly. They have quite a few things on their menu - but we only enjoyed their yummy pizzas and cocktails. The only bummer is they are only open Thursday through Sunday :-( The guys played golf at Los Delfines (on site), on two different days. They all enjoyed themselves and said they saw a ton of wildlife out on the course. They do recommend that you maybe bring golf balls with you as the charge for lost golf balls on a fairly difficult course can add up (I believe they were charged "$4.00 per lost ball). The cost to play/rent clubs and a cart was $140.00 per person. There is a reference to a resort down the beach that is in walking distance but it was not accessible to us - as we could not walk past the Tambor Airport (there was a guard). We also drove to it one day but apparently had missed their "lunch-time" and were not permitted in as we were not a "guests". We ended up driving to a sushi restaurant in Montezuma by the name of "Ash" - that was recommend by a "live-in" neighbor near the villa. The sushi was five stars and we had the whole lovely outdoor restaurant to ourselves! Yes, we had a rental car for the week but we really didn't need it. If I am blessed and get to visit this wonderful place again, I would probably only rent the vehicle for three days or so. With the little store right outside the resort gate and the pizza bar and restaurant on site you really don't need a car for the whole time - especially if you have the villa stocked ahead of time. It is a trek to get to the villa from San Jose - the drive and ferry make for a long travel day. I'm so glad that we actually decided to "leave" the villa a day early and stay one night about 45 minutes from the airport. Our driver was supposed to pick us up at 10:30 a.m. on that day and was delayed as the ferry schedule did not cooperate (which I understand is not unusual). We didn't get picked up until 1:00 p.m. and did not arrive at our final destination near the Poas Volcano until 7:30 p.m. that night. If this had happened on our "travel back to the USA" day, I'm not sure we would have had enough time to get our COVID tests, get checked in for our flight, etc. I strongly recommend staying your last night closer to the San Jose Airport if that's where you are flying out of. I think the next time we visit, I would fly into Liberia so that I don't have to rely on the ferry at all. I have no hesitation in HIGHLY recommending Jeanette and her villa. She is a wonderful person who is vested in making sure you have a vacation that you will never forget! I feel so blessed that Jeanette allowed us to stay in her "little piece of heaven on earth" - A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU JEANETTE - PURA VIDA :-) Debbie B. & Family

We just concluded our 10 day stay in Costa Rica at Jeannete's place.  The house was amazing and I highly recommend staying here.  Sebastian made sure our check in was super easy and he was always available if we needed him.  The view of the ocean sitting on the patio was so relaxing.  The howler monkeys greeted us with their howls the first two mornings and when they decided to move to another area we got to watch the Macaws coming and going.  And I don't want to leave out the Iguana's we enjoyed watching thru out the day or the gecko's that we got to enjoy in the evening.  Jeannette had recommended Javier at Pure Vida Expiditions for tours and the snorkeling bioluminscence tour as well as the fishing/tortuga island tour were highlights of the trip.  They picked us up on the beach in front of the house and dropped us off in the same spot.  If you are going make sure you make a trip to the docks to pick out your fresh fish and hit the farmers market in Tambor on Saturday for fresh produce.  Another recommendation is Cristina's in Tambor for dinner, it is amazing.  We will definately return to Jeanette's home.

This house and location is spectacular. The beach is amazing and the wildlife is a huge plus. We loved watching the Macaws and the Howler monkeys nearby. We are looking forward to coming back! Thanks Mo

WoW!! The house is sublime! Everything is perfect! Very well maintained, the sea view is beautiful and it is a very comfortable and very well-equipped house. The swimming pool is also very pleasant. I highly recommend it!

WoW !! La maison est sublime ! Tout est parfait ! Très bien entretenue, la vue sur la mer est magnifique et c’est une maison très confortable et très bien équipée. La piscine est très agréable également. Je le recommande fortement !

This property is spectacular. The beach is amazing and the wildlife is a huge plus.The monkeys , Macaws and other birds are easy to see and hear.. We enjoyed our morning walks on the beach, swimming in the ocean and in the pool. We loved watching the Macaws and the Howler monkeys nearby. Everyone was so helpful with suggestions on what to see and how to get there. We are looking forward to coming back!

We absolutely adored this home and the surrounding area. The villa is beautiful and very well stocked! Kitchen has everything one needs to cook or even bake. Lots of nice beach towels and fun beach toys/boogie boards and surf boards to use. The beds are very comfortable and we felt very much at home. AC worked very well! Owner is extremely helpful and attentive to any issues (although we really didn't have any). The beach is absolutely gorgeous with gentle and fun surf for the kids. Very nice shared pool with friendly neighbours. We enjoyed the pizza at El Rancho restaurant right next door and also enjoyed visits to Montezuma and Santa Teresa beach. All in all this is a 5 star place - wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely stay again!

Great house to spend your vacation time! Everything is perfect!

The house was amazing! We were picked up right on the beach by Javier’s guys (I asked Jeannette for his WhatsApp number) and we went on a bioluminescent swim tour (amazing!!!!) and we went in a fishing tour on the way to isla Tortuga. We caught a mahi-mahi and they cooked it for us on the beach. The beach itself in front of the house isn’t the best as far as clear waters and nice sandy beaches go but it’s an amazing location none the less! The house is spacious and very clean. Washer and dryer was great to have. The restaurant next door is okay, very convenient though! We traveled from San Jose and had to rent a car and drive to Puntarenas to take the ferry over with the car (get to the ferry early! Check the website for departure times and arrive 1-2 hours earlier than your selected time) then we arrived in Tambor (45 minute ferry ride) and drove 30 minutes to the house. It’s a gated community. Very nice! Highly recommend!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa. Very nice place quiet and big! The house is well equipped and the kids had a lot of things to do. The pool is beautiful and almost private. The check-in and the check-out went super smoothly. Very nice communication. Don't hesitate to rent this place!

Beautiful house with a beautiful location

Absolutely gorgeous beach front home!  Impeccable decor and comfort all around.  A/C in each bedroom and downstairs living room/kitchen worked perfect (not the case in many other homes).   The beautiful pool was just a few feet from our back door and rarely used by anyone but us.  There is a nice little beach front open air pizza restaurant in approx 100 yards away from this unit that is open Wednesday thru Sunday for dinner (cash only) that we ate at regularly.  They also serve chicken and pork skewers that are delicious.  Howler monkeys live in the trees between this house and the pizza restaurant and easily observed early in the morning.  We saw lots of macaws eating from the trees right out back everyday and we even managed to catch a baby turtle release one morning while walking on the beach right behind our house!!   Also lots of deer to see around the golf course.   This house is stunning, you will not want to go home!

This stay exceeded all of our expectations and the home is even more stunning in person! The home is beautifully decorated and you can tell it’s a place the host family love and take a lot of pride in. As they should, they’ve done an amazing job with all its decor and it’s stocked with all the amenities to make your trip easy going and lots of fun!

What a wonderful home ! And what a great location.  My family and I felt just like at home. The house is very well equipped, spacious and secure.  Everything you might need is near by - restaurants, convenience store, a safe place for your family to go for a walk - run .   The beach shore is almost just for you ! .  You will enjoy Macaws, howler monkeys, iguanas, humming birds, coatis, deers at your front step.   Near amazing surfing beaches, conservation areas where you can enjoy more animals and explore the vegetation in the area.  Ahh and if you are a golfer Los delfines Golf course will challenge you -( bring enough balls).

An absolute gem! We have never been to Costa Rica before and we had no idea what to expect. Jeannette’s home was perfect! A home from home with everything you (and a family) could possibly need! The location is ideal. Steps from the beach, steps from the pool and even better than the photos!! Jeannette is a wonderful host, amazing communication and so welcoming and approachable. Bas was an amazing help in Costa Rica. Super recommendations and very responsive at all times. The wildlife is in Unbelievable. We were surrounded by our new wild neighbors daily and it was a pleasure. Our kids adored learning about all the animals. I would suggest having a car to get around. And stopping at the mega super on the way through! We did a ton of relaxing, walking, we met with a local fisherman to go fishing. We saw humpback whales and newly hatched baby sea turtles on the beach. We did the bioluminescent tour, we went to tortuga island, montezuma is a cute town not far and there are great restaurants to try out there. Particularly cocolores and a cute place on the corner looking over the sea that I don’t remember the name. (Sorry) Endless wonderful memories, thank you Jeannette for sharing your treasure that is your home. Pura Vida! We will be back in heartbeat!

We spent a week in Jeannette house and we loved it. The house is beautiful, comfortable and functional. The garden & the swimming pool are very nice and the beach is 30 steps (!) away. The children had amazing time playing around. Jeannette is a very kind person who answered all our questions and requests. We were lucky to be hosted by her.

Wonderful house beach, can´t wait to go back

This house is amazing! Right on the ocean and next to a restaurant. Well stocked with everything we needed. Convenience store right up the street. The house is beautifully decorated and well equipped for a large group. Howler monkeys right in the trees next to us and macaws in the trees in the front. We were met right away and shown around the house. They kept the grounds immaculate. We pretty much had the pool and beach to ourselves. Slept very well and had a wonderful vacation! I highly recommend this property. We did the Tortuga Island tour with snorkeling and the Ylang Ylang Spa. All a great experience. Thank you for allowing us to stay in Costa Rica and experience this country.

A dream house, beautiful and comfortable with lots of thoughtful extras like games, puzzles, beach stuff and baby gear. The waves lulled us to sleep and we enjoyed the peaceful tranquility of the area. The pizza place next door is a definite plus too, we loved the pinchos! After a long day at the beach or pool, walking to the Rancho and taking in the sunsets was the cherry on top. Sebastian made check in and check out a breeze and was quick to respond to anything we needed. The beach is perfect for kids, the surf was calmer than surrounding beaches for our younger kids (all under 7). We wanted a calm and relaxing experience and that is exactly what we found at Casa de Karma, we’d return in a heartbeat! Thanks guys!

WOW!!! Where do I start!?!? The area is magical with beautiful wildlife right out your back door. Waking up to the sunrise and drifting to sleep with the lightning just outside the bay. We saw the scarlet mckaws and howler monkeys everyday along with iguanas and squirrels, even was graced with a pizote. The house was extremely well equiped and we cooked several meals in the kitchen. We stopped at the mega super in paquera and bought groceries on our way in, and bought fish and shrimp from the fish market about 10 minutes past Los delfines. The little store up front had some stuff to get us by a couple meals also. The pizza place nextdoor is a great option if you don't want to cook. while we were there we took a day trip to Montezuma waterfall and I highly! HIGHLY RECOMMEND going on the sun trail rope bridge (4$) to get there, so much easier than watching the others traverse the steep slippery hillside with old weathered ropes.. We had lunch one day at Momo's in Pochote was good and fresh. Tortuga island is a must, we got picked up from Javier right by the clubhouse at 8:45am. He took us to Tambor to get on the boat with just our family of 4 and Rob was our guide, very knowledgeable and a kind young man. A BBQ was included and was an amazing day. We we're the only other tourist on the island and it was great. We spent a couple hours there had lunch and he took us back by boat and dropped us on the beach steps away from the house. The culture is amazing and soon found out Pura Vida is a lifestyle and not just a saying. If your having second thoughts about booking and finding a better place.... don't because this place is top notch.

Thank you, Dylan, for such a great review.  I can tell you fell in love with the place just like I did.  It's so hard to explain to others what a magical place it is, but you did very well.  What a lot of good information and suggestions for other guests. And congratulations! You obviously got to experience the pura vida lifestyle.  We look forward to having you all come back...and soon!

This was my second trip to this location with a new group. The house is perfect groups and families. The house is quiet and placed safely in a gated golf community. The beach was basically ours for the 10 days we were there. The grounds are beautifully cared for. The house is well appointed. The communication when booking was spot on. The on site care taker of the property was always responsive and helpful. If you are looking for a beachfront home to enjoy, you will not be disappointed here. We saw monkeys, macaws and iguanas in the yard. 45 minutes to Santa Teresa for a surfing beach and a fun little town. A car is a must in this area. Thank you Jeanette and Sebastian for a wonderful stay!!

Beautiful home with plenty of amenities just steps from the ocean and an awesome pool. The beach is completely private and deserted. I appreciated the kid silverware, games and puzzles, and especially the dishwasher!! Book this place!

Well let’s just say AMAZING!! Breathtaking ocean front views. The house has everything.... honestly... Sebastian who watches the home  is just a phone call away ... and all the beautiful animals in the area ... the whole community is also secured Si you feel very safe and at hone right off the bat. Once again then you for an awesome vacation

Beautiful house! Great location! Even if you want to spend the day at the house you have the beach in front! Very well furnished, perfect for going with the family! The pool is communal, shared with the residents of the other houses next door!

Bella casa! Excelente ubicación! Incluso si quieres pasar el día en la casa tienes la playa al frente! Muy bien amueblada, perfecta para ir con la familia! La piscina es comunitaria, se comparte con los residentes de las otras casas de al lado!

I can not even express with words how amazing this place is at all levels. One of the things we appreciated at most was how close the house is from the beach and the privacy that offers. The house was neat and perfect for our family. I loved that it was very well equipped. It was perfect for relaxing!! We highly recommend this house.

Awesome place! Completely above our expectations, great location, awesome luxury and stylish place. Jeannette brought the “full equipped” house to a completely new level.

A beautiful beachfront home that surpassed our expectations!!  Right on the beach, with sounds and sights of the waves, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws!  A great family home with many special touches.  We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

It was a very relaxing trip. The place is beautiful I highly recommend the decor of the house, the spaces for my family and I love it. We had a good weekend you have a beach and mountain at the same time the green areas are beautiful

Fue un viaje muy relajante el lugar es bellísimo Lo Recomiendo muchísimo la decoración de la casa los espacios a mi familia y a mi nos encanto pasamos un buen fin de semana tienes playa y montaña a l vez las zonas verdes son bellísimas

The house is beautiful , the decor is very beautiful , exc location , in the courtyard is the sea , in addition to a nice pool, I liked that since it is private the beach was not very crowded.

La casa es hermosísima , la decoración muy bella , exc localización , en el patio está el mar , además de una piscina linda , me gustó que al ser privado la playa no estaba muy llena.

This place!! My only complaint is that we had to cut the trip short due to COVID 19.  The house is immaculate, comfortable and just wonderful. Steps from the pool and steps from the beach. Close to numerous activities. We went on the bioluminescent kayak tour in Paquera. This is a must do!  So incredible!  Montezuma was beautiful and fun! We shopped, zip lined, hiked to waterfalls and had lunch there all in one day. The people were kind and welcoming. The views and beach were amazing.  We had a snorkel tour planned and had to cancel. We flew into Liberia and drove to the house. It is a 3.5 hour drive. Be prepared for road construction the 30 miles before Paquera if you use this option. A rental car in this area is a must.  We will book this house again!! Jeannette has thought of everything!  Move in your bags, put on your suit and enjoy!

Thanks, Amy for the kind words.  I'm so sad that you had to cut your stay short.  Sounds like you managed to do quite a bit in the few days you were there.  I MUST go on that kayak tour!!  Wish I were there now, as I know you do, too.  Come back soon!!

Wonderful little heaven! We thought we were alone in the world... we were two families with young children and the location was perfect...  beautiful stay...

Magnifique petit paradis! On se croyait dans seul au monde... nous étions deux familles avec jeunes enfants et l’emplacement était parfait...  magnifique séjour...

Je suis tellement content que vous ayez tous apprécié la maison et la plage. Reviens quand tu veux! :)

If you use a sound machine that plays soft soothing ocean sounds to help you get to sleep you can leave that at home.  The house is immaculate with everything that you need to make for an enjoyable visit.  Beautiful sunrises each and every morning that you can take in on the beach only steps from the back patio, 33 steps to be exact.  Majestic macaws help you start your day with a spectacular fly over as you sit on your back patio with a refreshing glass of orange juice.  In my opinion perhaps the nicest house and views on the beach at Los Delfines.

The house is worth facing the bumpy road. If you are looking for tranquility this is the perfect place, long secluded beach!

La maison vaut la peine d’affronter la route cahoteuse. Si vous recherchez la tranquillité, c’est l’endroit idéale, longue plage isolée!

Je suis tellement contente que vous ayez apprécié la maison et la plage. Je n'ai jamais conduit à Tambor depuis le Libéria, comme vous l'avez fait. J'ai entendu dire que la route n'était pas la meilleure. En venant de San José, les routes sont de belles routes pavées et, au moins pour moi, les tarifs des avions sont moins chers.  Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt! Jeannette

The house is perfect, full of details and in a great location. The sea and the pool are within walking distance. The kitchen is very well-equipped, the beds are comfortable, there is everything you need and even more. Truly a wonderful vacation! Thank you Jeannette!!!

La casa è perfetta, ricca di dettagli e in posizione stupenda. Il mare e la piscina sono a due passi. La cucina è attrezzatissima, i letti sono comodi, c'è tutto quello che può servire e anche di più. Davvero una splendida vacanza! Grazie Jeannette!!!

Simply perfect!!! House, service, equipment, location, contact, everything was perfect. A unique place!!!

Tout simplement parfait!!! Maison, service, équipement, localisation, contact, tout était parfait. Un endroit unique!!!

This house is insane!!! Sooo gorgeous and spacious! Right on the beach and has everything and more you would need. You will not want to leave!

Absolutely beautiful space right on the beach. Spacious and stylish, much more than we dared to hope for. We fell asleep to the sound of the surf, and awakened to the sound of the scarlet macaws. Jeanne’s place was well outfitted for cooking, or watching a movie. The bed was comfortable. The ac worked efficiently, and the Wi-Fi spot on. The house was next to the pool (which was quiet) but would be great if you had kids along. The beach was majestic and unique. Lots of driftwood washes ashore. We saw sea turtles trying to make their way to the ocean. Native Costa Rican birds flying above. Ate delicious food in the area, and kayaked the bioluminescent bay. We ventured out to Tambor to explore a new area, and had a great time. Jeannette’s home was amazing. Totally recommend.

Beautiful house on the beach with all the amenities
