We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful garden villa! 🌴✨ The property was so serene, peaceful, and lush, with the most incredible location right on the beach. The beach was practically empty, making it feel like our own private slice of paradise. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of Costa Rica. The location was also fantastic! We felt very safe throughout our stay and were within close proximity to some amazing restaurants, especially Soda Mirna and Pampa Asador. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, meeting us upon arrival and making check-in seamless and stress-free. Everything about this stay made it special, from the tranquil garden setting to the beautiful beach and relaxing hammock. It truly felt like a hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable Costa Rican getaway! ❤️🌺

We had a wonderful stay, perfectly located. Loved waking up and going directly for a swim, as there is an access directly to the beach. Only downside is that you hear every step from the upstairs neighbors, so you if you are a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs.

The staff at the villa was so fantastic, responsive, and helpful. We had a walkthrough of the whole place when we arrived and felt absolutely welcomed! We had a small accident with a clumsy coffee pot drop and they immediately were so understanding and replaced it. They were also responsive throughout the stay if there were issues and were flexible with check out on the last day. Overall we stayed for five nights and the beautiful location, beach access, plant life, and accommodations were the cherry on top to a perfect vacation. We were so in love with the Playa Negra area and would come back again in a heartbeat!! 💗 (Don’t forget to check out “Soda Mirna” across the street, the food was some of the best we’d had in CR!)

A lovely and secluded stay. The staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. There’s direct access to the beach which was not busy at all. Beautiful and would definitely come back.

The Airbnb is handled by a management team and the onsite staff is extremely friendly, competent and knowledgeable regarding the activities in the surrounding area. Our unit and the grounds were impeccably clean. Upon our arrival we were surprised with a welcome gift of wine and chocolate! Our unit - Garden #4 although partially open aired felt private and was very peaceful. We were also surprised with a mid-stay cleaning as we were there for 10 nights. I am a bit "fussy" about a fresh towel and although I respect their resources are different than where I live there was never an eye roll when I wanted to switch out my towels like you find in so many Caribbean locations. We had a car and explored quite a bit of the area - sure there looked like there were other cute places to stay but when something works so seamless there really is no reason to look... any return trip to the Puerto Viejo area will include a stay at Villas Serenidad we already miss our new friends aka the staff!

The location was fantastic. The sound of the ocean so close by, was wonderfully satisfying during the day and at night. The bedroom was comfortable and bug free. Even though the pictures didn’t quite match the room, it’s comforts became more clear over time. The staff was extraordinary and always willing to figure out a solution to any need or problem that arose. The AC was deeply appreciated.

What a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. It was a private and comfortable jungle oasis that gave us access to everything we wanted to experience while being a haven to escape to for rest when we were ready. Absolute perfection!

It was a great place to explore Peurto Viejo, Cahuits, with lots of restaurants and lovely beaches. David and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We felt the place was looking a bit tired in places, but was very clean.
