The location is nice but we felt very alone at the end of the street. They do have security that checks the road, but it is the beach side that is open. We had no problems but again it was pretty desolate. I’m sure when the other houses around this one are occupied, it may feel less ‘alone.’

September visit: Location was VERY peaceful. Only saw one other person on the beach. The beach was really picturesque & walkable, but not at all inviting (or perceptibly safe) to swim (steep beach, deep water, heavy beach break, strong rips - & I’m a surfer). Mosquito (rainy) season was in force, thus pool & bbq area were inhospitable. Top floor w hot tub was great as long as the wind kept mosquitoes at bay. Rainy season cloud cover kept the top floor cool (there’s no shade). I suspect the pool would be very enjoyable during the dry season whereas the top floor would be an oven. The master bed & bath were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped & capable. The little dining area was nice with a good table & views. But the adjoining living room area desperately needs a furniture facelift. Neither the couch nor 2 chairs were comfortable to hang out in. Also, I suspect the living room space would be very crowded with more than 2 adults hanging about. Overall good experience

we enjoyed our time here, the house is in a great location for privacy and is pretty remote. the views from the roof top were amazing. loved all the greenery on the property, like living in a jungle, but be warned the mosquitos were really bad. the beach was nice to walk and the estuary down the road made for some good exploring. be sure to check out the turtle hatchery. the rental company was wonderful to deal with and very attentive. a welcome basket with treats and coffee were a nice touch. would love to return some day.

Absolutely gorgeous, extremely comfortable and clean. Very receptive to questions. LOVED the lightening storms from the roof each night and waking up to the ocean waves. The crabs were amazing. Bummed we didn't get to see the monkeys; maybe next time. The road is definitely full of potholes the last 2 miles so glad we had a4 wheel drive, but going slow any car likely would have worked. Definitely stock up on groceries before coming into town but there are little stores if you forget something. Could easily have stayed at the house the entire time without going out to see other things, but we enjoyed the zipline and night market. A few earlier reviews had me mildly worried about safety, but use common sense and all the security measures they provide and we felt 100% safe. Would definitely stay here again :-)

I stayed at Casa Alegre with my husband and our two young daughters. The beach was amazing, and the view was spectacular! The home was very clean and peaceful, and we loved taking walks along the beach. We felt very safe at the property while still enjoying a wonderful sense of remoteness. Although we didn’t use the pool, we did enjoy the rooftop tub during the day—it was fantastic! We also appreciated how quiet the area was, with a great restaurant (Bernardo’s) just down the road, a great local grocery store and many other things to do less than an hour away. The only challenge for us was the layout of the home. The downstairs bedrooms have exterior entries, which made it difficult for our kids to have their own rooms inside the main house. We were able to make it work, but for families with very young children (a toddler and an infant), this layout might not be ideal. That said, we still very much enjoyed our stay. Chiara was an amazing host! She was responsive and very helpful!!

Casa Alegre was the perfect spot for our family vacation. It was exactly as described; great house that allows for privacy from each other when needed, a private location and yet and not too far from grocery and restaurants. Chiara was a wonderful host and gave excellent instructions and advice. We can’t wait to come back!
