Wonderful place, clean and modern. Pool was great, fun to see all the monkeys. Note that nearby hotel (where guest access is mentioned) is under construction and unavailable.

We had a mixed experience. Highlights included the beautiful pool, outdoor dining area, and seeing macaws fly overhead morning and evening. The fresh fruit and eggs on arrival were a thoughtful touch. Ruth was responsive to our questions - great host! However, the layout and privacy were not as expected. The upstairs bedroom is only accessible from outside (as described). The issue was that the property is shared with another rental, so we didn’t feel comfortable leaving doors unlocked, which created a sense of separation between our kids (downstairs) and us. Indoor space is limited, with no comfortable place to gather. Privacy was also an issue—the upstairs bathroom has a clear window facing another property, and the bedroom lacks privacy unless shades are drawn. It didn’t feel as secluded as we anticipated. There was also noise from a nearby bar on two nights (out of four). Overall, enjoyable outdoor features, but layout & privacy concerns impacted our stay.

Beautiful home surrounded by amazing wildlife in a secluded location. House comes with an amazing house cleaner, pool cleaner and maintenance staff. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Perfect location if you are looking to escape the busy crowds. Loved the coffee shop in Islita. Thank you for a great vacation

This place was absolutely the most wonderful month we have spent in Costa Rica. This is our fifth year in Costa Rica and we have never stayed in the same place twice. The listing I feel should have an update on its photos, because it was better than the original listing photos. It was much better!!There have been many updates since Doris, and her daughter Viviana were the most wonderful ladies to see every day! Smiles……constant effort to pamper and please you was beyond amazing. the guys, especially Jefferson that helped with the pool and surroundings, were so helpful as well! The locals in the area were so friendly and kind, we loved our stay there. My only downfall at this point, would be the long drive into Ruth place. We love to walk, and love to walk to our surroundings with grocery stores, etc. The local areas have everything you may need., But if you want any of the extras, you would have to rent a car to get To the nearest town. Overall this was a great month!!

Wonderful home with a terrific outdoor space in a small village. The quiet beach is an easy 7 minute walk away. The last 10km of the drive to Punta Islita can be challenging at times, but take it slow and you'll be fine. This is wonderfully remote with lovely restaurants nearby and great locals. The monkeys and macaws are pretty special too. If you want action and beach bars, this isn't the spot. If you want calm and nature, this is your place.

We had a lovely time. The house is very comfortable, especially the upstairs bedroom which is very large and equipped with a walk-in and a beautiful bathroom. It is also very well located with nature all around and close to the charming little village of Islita (where there is a grocery store and café). Note, however, that there is no living room per se: only a kitchen with a kitchenette. On the other hand, the outdoor space around the pool is large and has a sheltered table with BBQ where we often ate our meals.

We had so much fun here! The pool was a big hit with the kids, especially when scarlet macaws flew over! The house was very clean and the kitchen is well appointed. We found Punta Islita to be beautiful and quiet. We’d love to come back!

Ruth’s place was easy to find, and immaculate apron arrival. The pool was warm and clean and our favorite part of the stay. Doris the cleaning lady helped with our laundry and came in the clean the home multiple times throughout our stay. She was very friendly, and very helpful! I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose.

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!
