Very beautiful, spacious, and very safe house. Security booth at the entrance in the evening and beach patrol. Beautiful sunset. Beautiful location right by the sea. Pool with sea view. Beautiful covered terrace with plenty of space and a bathroom next door, very convenient. Resto Lounge at the end of the street, a wonderful discovery, great atmosphere, lovely, warm welcome, excellent filet mignon and salmon. There is also the Costa Linda nearby, where we ate very well, not to mention the Arrecife restaurant, about a 20-minute drive away. You can take very long walks along the seashore with stunning scenery. Bernardo was a really good host and responded very quickly to our messages. Thank you.

We stayed at Bernardo’s house for 6 nights and we loved every minute. The pool and beach access /view was amazing and the house had everything we needed. Met some amazing people and had some delicious meals at the two restaurants that were within walking distance. We highly recommend this house for your vacationing needs.

Property pictures outdated. Read through all reviews! Everything is still dated and neglected. A fair choice if budget is important! Scarlett Macaws and other birds, daily. Racoons, iguanas and lizards. Sunsets are BEAUTIFUL. Bernardo and Silvana are VERY quick to respond. Water went out or faulty pump w/constant loud high pitch noise. Turned pump off at night. fridge smelled of fish. Had to unplug for hours. Chef had to use house next door. Silvana tried to clean. 1 bedroom part of the house. 3 Independent bedrooms. Locking the main house locks the 3 bedrooms out. Security patrol beach side and street side, many security cameras throughout neighborhood. Some window locks work. All sinks plumbed for cold water only. hot water in all showers. Furniture is very bad. pool lounge chairs unusable. Beach has ALOT of trash. Marcella is a Nutritionist/Chef. She's OUTSTANDING. limited to 1000 characters makes this review difficult. House needs furniture, care, updating.

The house is very well cared for. Lots of amenities. The house, the pool, the ranch are an excellent match with the ocean view

This place was truly wonderful! Besides only having plastic furniture that was not really comfortable, the rooms were spacious each with their own bathroom, the kitchen and dining room were large enough for our group, and the pool was amazing! right on the ocean, we drank or morning coffee watching the macaws pick a tree to eat from, saw monkeys, iguanas and lizards! great vacation over all, thank you! Note: it is secluded, restaurants and grocery stores are about a 25 min drive, a vehicle is highly recommended to get to and from this property.

A lovely place to stay! The accommodation is located in a beautiful, quiet area, right on the beach and on the edge of a jungle. We have seen monkeys, raccoons, squirrels and even macaws there — really special! The swimming pool was wonderful is good and the garden is beautifully landscaped. The covered outdoor space is also ideal for sitting and eating, even if it rains for a while. The parking space behind a lockable gate is a nice extra. The (garden) furniture, bathrooms, mattresses and kitchen appliances are a bit dated, and that's why we give 4 instead of 5 stars. A big plus is that each bedroom has its own bathroom, toilet and air conditioning — that makes the stay extra comfortable.

Bernardo was an amazing host. Very responsive with all communications. The family enjoyed the pool and it was well maintained. A bathroom for everyone. We got to see wild white faced monkeys too. It is reclusive so a vehicle is recommended. I would stay with this host again.

A paradise within paradise! This home was everything we were looking for—beautiful, peaceful, and tucked away just enough to feel like our own private retreat. Waking up to the sound of the ocean each morning was pure magic, and we spent most of our days relaxing in the private pool with stunning views of the ocean and lush surroundings. Every bedroom felt like its own master suite, complete with private bathrooms, and the open layout made it easy to soak in the views from the kitchen, living room, and main bedroom. Big thanks to Silvana for recommending Cevichero Arrecife—so good! We also had Chef Marcela cook for us during our stay, and her fresh, flavorful meals were such a gift. Warm, kind, and incredibly talented. With help from Bernardo, we booked some amazing excursions through Ingrid at Natura Resources—horseback riding, ATVs, and a chocolate tour that we’ll be talking about for a long time. It was the kind of stay that feeds your soul. We can’t wait to come back.
