Joe, the owner, was a great host. Thoughtful in every way. A large, modern, and comfortable apartment. Other than being a bit far from the center, it was excellent.

Wow what a spot! Can't say enough nice things about Joe and his beautiful AirBnB! We had such a great time during our week in paradise. The location is so peaceful and relaxing and monkeys right outside our place. We love that you're in a quiet jungle escape but in a 5 minute care ride in the bustle of Santa Teresa! Joe's Tuesday pizza night is not to be missed under the tiki by the pool btw! If you like to fish and surf this is such a prime location. Joe's boat is literally across the street from his place and he is a great captain that really knows the area. We hired him for a half day charter to go see if we could find catch some yellow tail tuna. We did catch a few black tuna but we missed the yellowtail bite but everyone agreed it was just an amazing day to be on the water. The sunsets are absolutely gorgeous from the beach out in front. We loved the quick walk to Delzie Italian Bakery & Kitchen to grab a slice of pizza and the quick mart! We can't wait to visit again soon!

Wonderful spot - the pictures really don't do the place justice. Easy walk to the beach, the marina, the grocery store and brewery. The landscaping is lush and attracts plenty of local wildfire - butterflies, birds, capybatas, and coatis - we even saw a howler monkey on our last evening there! The pool and outdoor kitchen area are great for large and small groups. Overall a great experience - we will be back!

I had a feeling that this was going to be a good stay by how responsive Joe was before we even got there. But nothing could have prepared me for the experience I had. The grounds are immaculate, the dwellings are exactly what you see in the pictures, and the host was amazing. My family spent a month at the property and we really felt like it was our new home. We were able to set up a fishing trip with Joe and caught more tuna than I thought was possible in a few hours. It was an amazing experience. Not only was Joe amazing as a host, I truly feel I gained a good friend in Costa Rica. We cannot recommend Playa de Pesca enough. We will return for years to come.

We loved staying at Casa Wahoo. Quiet little corner away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa, yet easy to get to various surf breaks and town. The place was very clean and felt new/nice. Only 2 of the 3 bedrooms had AC, so we just shared 2 rooms. AC in the main area and the 2 rooms worked great.

Accommodation with just the necessary amenities. Spacious second-floor rooms. Air conditioners need maintenance. They freeze and leak. They don't cool well, and the area is hot. Air conditioning is important. The downstairs room doesn't have air conditioning. My friend took the downstairs room. When we arrived, he found a large crab under a pillow. How did it get there? Do they leave the doors open? I don't know.

Joe's place was just what we needed. We stayed with our kids in the 3 bed apartment and had the beach and the nature surrounding us and felt Costa Rica vibe. There's a beach you can snorkel in just few minutes away, and beautiful beach to watch sunsets just outside Joe's property. Carmen beach and Santa Teresa are 10min drive away, which is close enough to get there and far enough to enjoy quite nights. The pool is amazing! very well maintained, perfect size and was great for the kids. There is a community area where you can cook and BBQ (in addition to your kitchen) which is fully equipped and enable you to prep dinner like you're at home. And of course, Joe's Pizza was a wonderful addition to this amazing experience. 100% recommended 👌
