Thank you for the stay, really beautiful place. And special thanks you Marina, really great communication and attention. She was kind and friendly. We stayed one night to have a family birthday dinner after grandpa ashes ceremony and despite the circumstances all family enjoyed the place. Thanks again and highly recommended!

The house is beautiful with a beautiful layout that helps avoid feeling overcrowded and the noise disperse. It was very peaceful and comfortable. We loved it. The kids loved it. It was an easy vacation. Exactly what we were looking for.

This place is amazing!! Looks just like the pictures and so beautiful. Hosts are amazing, they let us check out late when we were having car trouble. Note for costa rica first timers: this roads all over this region are very very bumpy and unpaved, I recommend a vehicle with 4WD if you can!

Excellent place, super clean and very complete with everything that was available. Lots to do in the area and easy to find.

Excelente lugar , super limpio y muy completo con todo lo que había disponible. Mucho que hacer en la zona y fácil de encontrar.

This home was amazing and perfect for our trip to Costa Rica. Marina, the local manager, was amazing, so responsive and helpful, local recommendations, and more! The home is beautiful and blends so well with the natural environment with the open concept. We will definitely be back!

This place is unique for two reasons: its beautiful and functional design, and Marina, who was our contact person. We had a wonderful time at the house. Marina is a super nice person, open and very quick to respond to any questions you may have. We like houses with beautiful interiors, and this one was just that. The location was perfect for us (a family with two children) - quiet, yet we felt safe. A 3-minute drive away is a shop and Corazon cafe - a great place run by Marina and Daniel with delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. In addition, there are excellent beaches a few minutes away where you can try surfing. A place really worth recommending.

This is a fantastic spot. Perfect for two families, or one large family. 4 Bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. You share, but have privacy. you have indoor , outdoor vibe. It was such an amazing experience and they have everything down, and all their staff is so nice. The stay was so amazing and I really hope to visit it sometime again soon. I thank Celina for opening up their home to us. Architecture and design blew me away. Nature meets minimalist modern design. Really amazing!

We loved this place but it would not be for everyone. It’s so peaceful, thoughtful prep for our arrival. Plenty of restaurants a short distance away. Not really walkable though we walked a few times. The hindrance there is a mile to the nearest beach and narrow dirt roads not entirely safe for walking. Love the four en suite bathrooms, but keep in mind water can only be running in one place at a time, the kitchen or a shower or the sprinklers. We figured out a system for our crew rather quickly. Loved having a pool right there. My son loved looking for all the creatures outdoors AND indoors. Living with lots of lizards and geckos does mean living with their poo, so sweeping may be needed. The a/c units in each room were efficient and a perfect retreat from the heat. Marina arranged for a nice traditional meal for us prepared at the house and that was so nice!!  Thank you for having us, we loved our stay in your home.

The location is lovely and the property has potential, but our overall experience didn’t meet expectations. During our stay, communication with the property manager was smooth and attentive, which we appreciated. However, several important amenities were either missing or not working properly. There was no TV or microwave, the fridge was very small and unfortunately not functioning, and the pool was not well maintained—it had a lot of frogs and didn’t feel clean. These issues impacted our ability to fully enjoy and relax during our stay. After our departure, I reached out to the host to request a partial refund, but the response felt more like an attempt to avoid responsibility rather than an effort to resolve the situation. A late check-out was offered, but it didn’t really compensate for the inconvenience. With more attention to detail and guest care, this place could offer a much better experience.

Jason brought more people to the house then were on the reservation. Jason partied until 3am with loud techno music despite being asked to turn down/off. Jason stayed beyond the courtesy extended to him for a late check out. Check out is 10am we allowed him to stay until 1pm and he continued at the property until 1:30 pm Jason requested refund which was granted to him by Airbnb based on an issue with the refrigerator. In which our team was quick to respond. Our pool is pristine. Jason should understand Costa Rica is a simple and peaceful place possibly not suited for his needs. He may be better off vacationing in a hotel.

Celina has an awesome property manager, Marina, who answered all of our questions and requests quickly. She even got us groceries that we had requested prior to arrival! The rooms were well air conditioned and beautifully decorated. We also enjoyed the pool and the beautiful surrounding. The town of Playa Negra itself was wonderful- we enjoyed the beach and nearby restaurants! While we loved the house in general, we had a lot of problems with the hot water. Half of the house only had cold water in the showers and the pressure was very low. We ended up only using the showers on one side of the house. The living room and kitchen had no air conditioning but it was ok bc of the breeze that came through!

Can't say enough great things about this place. We will come back soon and often!

Wonderful stay with our four kids!  Off the beaten path, but close to many activities, restaurants, etc.  Great house for families or groups, comfortable, clean and quiet.  Property manager, Marina, did a 10 out of 10 job with her responsiveness, recommendations and assistance in helping arrange activities, restaurants, etc.  Highly recommend!

This home in the jungle is so beautiful and peaceful; it's within a long walk or short drive to multiple great restaurants as well as the beach (the beach right there is amazing). The 4 bedrooms are separated apart but the shared space in the middle is great for gathering. The deck and pool are very relaxing!

This was our second time staying here. We loved it so much last year that we had to come back. Celina’s home is so peaceful and beautiful, it was the escape that our family really needed. Marina, the house manger is great too. Very friendly and helpful. We hope we will have many more stays in our future. It is such a treat to stay in this unique vacation home where we truly feel immersed in nature.

A stunning house in a beautiful private setting, just a 2 minute drive from Playa Negra cafes and shops. The house is clearly a home to owners we understand are California-based architects. Beautiful and just like the pictures! Marina was a wonderful local contact who made checkin, checkout, and our stay easy and fun. We will be back.

For anyone looking to come down to Playa Negra here are some bullet points for this home: A) This home is off the main road and private but only 8 mins away from Playa Negra and other beaches B) Marina who manages the property is immediately responsive to any and all requests and can also assist with reccomendations C) Rent a car. Driving around is very user friendly (download Waze) and you can explore the area D) If you want a populated town with tons of people and nightlife this is NOT the area for you. This are is peaceful and lets you be with nature as it should be. No TV's in home. E) Wifi works very good F) Wife and I are GF/Dairy free and we were able to find food. If you are hear for a prolonged period though you will rinse and repeat restaurants. G) Started each day with breakfast at Corazon Surf Cafe down the road which the site manager owns and operates H) We traveled with 4. Me, my wife, and two kids ages 7 and 5. Very beautiful place to unwind.

We loved our stay - two adults, two kids. Accommodation is exactly as described (maybe better!). Great peaceful location. Incredible support from Mariana, we arrived late and she showed a lot of flexibility. Really fun trip and we look forward to returning.

The stylish home with its peaceful outdoor and pool area provided the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday, and the nearby beach, just a short drive away, was equally calm and beautiful. Marina, the house manager, was incredibly helpful, offering great local tips and always being available when we needed her. We had an amazing time and would love to return to this serene spot in the future!

In the countryside, the only noises you'll hear are the wind and animals. Concrete construction brings a very interesting feeling of freshness and comfort. The main space is large and very inviting. The beds are spacious and comfortable. As for Marina, she is friendly and very responsive. She helped us organize our activities and was always available for any questions or recommendations. The only reason I didn't give a perfect one is that some amenities would deserve to be renewed given the asking price (washer-dryer, counter oven, running toilet). These are only slight inconveniences that could be easily erased with a small investment. Thank you Marina!

En pleine nature, les seuls bruits que vous entendrez sont ceux du vent et des animaux. La construction en béton amène une fraîcheur et un sentiment de réconfort très intéressant. L’espace principal est vaste et très accueillant. Les lits sont spacieux et confortables. Pour ce qui est de Marina, elle est sympathique et très réactive. Elle nous a aidé à organiser nos activités et a toujours été disponible pour toutes questions ou recommandations. La seule raison pour laquelle je n’ai pas donné une notre parfaite est que certains équipements mériteraient d’être renouvelés compte tenu du prix demandé (laveuse-sécheuse, four de comptoir, toilette qui coule). Ce ne sont que de légers désagréments qui pourraient être effacés facilement avec un petit investissement. Merci Marina!

Beautiful home, with great amenities. Home managers were very accommodating and had great communication. Would recommend!

We had a great stay, two adults and four teenagers ! Super cool house, pool was excellent. Lots of beaches nearby.  Great local restaurants, some of the best food we had during our stay. House manager was very helpful with any questions and recommendations. We would happily return to this home again.

Beautiful place to share with the family, very accessible and easy access for anyone.  Incredible distribution.  It is very close to excellent beaches

The stay was excellent. The house is very convenient with an excellent peaceful environment to relax. The best beaches are nearby (one hour drive). There is a small supermarket 3 minutes away from the house. It took us four and a half hours from San Jose.

La estadía estuvo excelente. La casa es muy cómoda con un entorno pacifico excelente para descansar. Las mejores playas quedan cerca (una hora en vehículo). Hay un pequeño supermercado a 3 minutos de la casa. Nosotros tardamos 4 horas y media desde San José.

Marina was a special hostess, always available and responsive with referrals and suggestions of places to go and help regarding the home. Celina, the owner was also very helpful and responsive. Definitely will visit again!

Amazing Spot which is secluded from the main street. Feels like being in a jungle with howling monkeys. Pool was amazing for kids. House manager Marina was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations. They even had a fruit guy who delivered to the house! Definitely a spot that we will consider in the future! Thank you!

The place is super private, super big for the 9 people, the pool is very nice and Marina is super nice and communicative.

El lugar es super privado, super grande para las 9 personas, la piscina muy bonita y Marina super amable y comunicativa!

Excellent house to enjoy with friends or family, spacious and comfortable and very close to the beaches.

Excelente casa para disfrutar con amigos o familia, amplia y cómoda y muy cerca de las playas.

We loved every second of our stay in Selina’s beautiful home. Peaceful, comfortable and the perfect home base for a family getaway. Thank you!!

We stayed at Celina’s property for a month and I cannot find the right words to do justice to our stay. The property indoors and outdoors is phenomenal. The property managers and stuff are some of the best humans you’ll ever meet. Marina, Dani and Jimena went above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of. We left Costa Rica feeling we have left our home and friends. If you are looking to have an extraordinary experience, immersed in nature while enjoying all comforts, look no further. Can’t thank our host, Celina, enough for having us and hope we make it back soon.

I am very picky. This home and experience exceeded my expectations. I would 100% stay here again and again. So clean. So gorgeous. Felt luxurious but also down to earth at the same time. Marina was incredibly helpful and so welcoming. Playa Negra was a really nice escape from the craziness in Tamarindo. We hope to go back!

Celina’s house is a gem, an absolute treasure in a treasure of a location. The house was spacious and clean. The house managers Dani and Marina were so warm and welcoming, we felt instantly at home. If you are looking to experience pura vida, look no further!

Celina’s home was incredibly beautiful. The dreamiest space! Marina took really good care of us during our stay and we even got to try her cafe which was amazing! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Stunning property. Exactly as pictured. Marina is amazing and so helpful. Beach is beautiful. Definitely need a car to drive to the beach (too hot to walk!) watch the sun and wear lots of sunscreen!

Beautiful home, pictures do not do it justice. Equipped with washer/dryer, warm water, dishes, cups, towels. Every essential that is needed. Beautiful secluded beaches nearby. Dani and Marina were very quick to reply with any concerns.

Staying at Celina’s place is not a vacation, it’s an experience. Let me explain… Not only does Celina care but her warmth and desire to create an experience is felt every step of the way. Upon arrival when we met with house managers Marina and Dani we knew this was something special. They own the local Corazón Surf Cafe so instantly we felt like we had a connection to this authentic Tico community. The Home. You can feel the love poured into this custom designed Bali style creation. You can feel the protection of the concrete, the warmth of the wood and the cold AC while simultaneously feeling immersed in Mother Nature with the open air style living space. Wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys and take a dip in the pool while butterflies and colorful birds play and dance above. No car? No problem. Take a walk to the beach, cafe, restaurant, jiu jitsu, skate park or to do some yoga. Along the way you get to admire beautiful horses, dogs and iguanas all while constantly being greeted by all of the wonderfully present locals. Pure Life! LUXURIES that level up your experience! 1. Marina & Dani create such a custom experience as they have their finger on the pulse of the town. 2. Fresh fruits & veggies delivered to your door from Beto. 3. Fresh and I mean FRESHLY caught fish delivered to your door. 4. The sweet hearted housekeeper Jimena who pays attention to every detail. 5. Very affordable taxi for a day trip to Tamarindo. 6. Peace retreat yoga with Kevin & Serena So much life experience packed into such a short time. Our family is not leaving a vacation but a place that feels like home. We are so grateful to have aligned to such a hidden gem. It’s the kind of place that finds you. Pura Vida!
