Beachfront Home with Breath Taking Views and Pool - Houses for Rent in Playa Junquillal, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

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.’

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location. Playa Junquillal is known for its peaceful and quiet atmosphere, which many guests love. This time of year is especially calm, so you often have the beach almost entirely to yourself. During the high season, many more homes are occupied, and the area feels much livelier. We're happy to hear you felt safe during your stay, and we hope to welcome you back again!

beautiful property in a wonderful location.

It was a great spot and that had very beautiful sunset. It was also very peaceful and privet great for a get away.

Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful sunsets.

Absolutely an awesome experience and beautiful peaceful experience.  Perfect location, perfect place for 6 people. Chiara and Marian were absolutely perfect in attending to our questions and needs.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had a peaceful and enjoyable experience. Hope to welcome you back soon!

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

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and the comfort of the master bed and kitchen. We appreciate your thoughts on the pool, top floor, and living room, and we'll definitely take those into consideration for future improvements. Hope to host you again during the dry season!

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.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the privacy, nature, and rooftop views. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

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 :-)

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the comfort, ocean views, and epic lightning storms. Great tips for future guests too! We’d love to welcome you back—maybe the monkeys will show up next time!

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!!

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you and your family enjoyed the peaceful vibe, beach walks, and rooftop tub at Casa Alegre. We appreciate your note about the layout—it’s helpful for future guests.

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!

Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad Casa Alegre was the perfect spot for your family vacation. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the privacy, location, and convenience. We’d love to host you again on your next visit!

We are still on cloud nine after an absolutely SUBLIME stay at Casa Alegre! Chiara was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay, and the house and surroundings were exactly as magical as described. We chose to rent a car at the airport as we planned to do a lot of exploration during our stay, and getting around was not a problem at all as long as you plan for slower traffic pretty much everywhere. If we ever plan another trip to this part of Costa Rica, we would stay here again without a second thought.

Thank you for your amazing review! We're so happy to hear you had a sublime stay at Casa Alegre. We'd love to host you again whenever you're back in Costa Rica!

Beautiful retreat for relaxation. The roof top space was our favorite spot to take in the sunrise at the beach and hot tub by moonlight. It was private and fairly secluded. I would recommend a rental vehicle as the road is long and winding. We felt very secure with the gated driveway and other security features. We would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the rooftop space, sunrises, and the hot tub. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back!

Casa Alegre was a very nice home on a beautiful beach.  The concierge was amazing and very helpful.  The only downside to us was the separation of the living area and kitchen and the bedrooms.

Thank you for your kind feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the home and the beach. We appreciate your thoughts on the layout and will keep them in mind for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back soon!

A charming house at the beach with all the facilities you can ask for. First class host service from Chiara with a lot of good help and info throughout the entire stay. The house is situated right at the beach, waking up to the waves rolling up the beach was amazing with a fresh pacific breeze. We enjoyed the lush green garden and the bbq by the pool. The roof top offers a scenic sunset view and a great hideaway from the moscitos. We enjoyed our stay to its fullest with long strolls at the beach and cold drinks on the roof top.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house, the beach, and the scenic rooftop views. It was a pleasure having you, and I'm happy to know you had a relaxing and memorable stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

My stay at Georgina's Airbnb was an absolute delight! If you're looking for a place to experience the beach while enjoying breathtaking views and unique local attractions, this is the perfect spot. The location is ideal – away from the hustle and bustle of touristy areas, yet close enough to experience the charm of Tamarindo. The beach is just a stone's throw away, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. What I loved most was the abundance of small corner stores and sodas within a 15-minute drive. It made exploring the local flavors and grabbing essentials a breeze. Georgina's recommendations were spot-on, and the convenience added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. The Airbnb itself is a gem, offering a comfortable retreat with all the necessary amenities. Clean, well-maintained, and with a touch of local charm, it truly felt like a home away from home. The attention to detail in the decor and the thoughtful touches by Georgina added a personalized touch to the experience.

Beautiful home I highly recommend staying here

Wonderful place. Very remote and private. The landscaping and flora on the property was lush and diversely curated. The beach is pristine, largely unoccupied, and a beautiful setting for both sunrise and sunset. Fernando kept the pool nice and clean and was generally very friendly and helpful. Our party was three couples and the layout was perfect.  Georgina was a great host who set us up to have a great stay. Would love to return some time in the future.

an excellent host. definitely a place for romance and complete utter privacy. we didnt see anyone for hours. not much to do at the location but completely exit the rat race of life. if you want a complete private serene experience this is perfect.

Definitely luxurious!   To be able to go back and forth from all the rooms, levels, beach, pool.  Plenty of spots to chase the shade and be relaxed.  It felt very private and I loved that everyone had their own space along with several places to have your own private retreat.  Grounds and plants are beautiful.  Lots to enjoy

We had a wonderful time at the house and it was the perfect place for our honeymoon. The beach was a bit wavy and had strong currents while we were there (it was rainy season though) but having it basically all to ourselves definitely made up for it. Sunsets on the roof were absolutely magical. We found ourselves preferring to enjoy the house than go out. The property manager (Brenda) was super helpful and quickly responded to anything we needed. The location was a little hard to find in the dark so I would suggest trying to arrive the first time in daylight and definitely have a 4x4 car. We had seen past reviews about safety/theft issues but we followed the host's recommendation for locking up every time we left and we didn't have an issue.

Lee Anne's place is amazing.  If you're looking to avoid crowded beaches and find some peace and tranquility, this is a great spot.  Junquillal is a magical place.  We had the beach to ourselves most of the time, encountering the occasional walker or horseback riding tour.  The house had everything we needed.  They even made sure we knew about the turtle release from the nearby hatchery!  Sunsets from the rooftop were top notch.  It was a short drive to the market or few restaurants Junquillal has to offer.  It was the perfect place for our family of four.  Our kids are 10 & 14 loved the place and had a ton of fun.  We followed the guidelines for locking the place up and had no issues.  Though I did accidentally set off the alarm one night.  The property manager checked in immediately and Fernando came out to make sure all was ok.  I appreciate their responsiveness.

Thank you Jason - we're so glad you all had a great time!!! We are also looking forward to having you all come back again!!!

Great spot. Road in is good. Its close to a small town but still remote enough that you get your quiet time. Rooftop is amazing. Beach is right out the back yard and is all yours. Few people on it. Just the locals that like in the neighborhood. Have no complaints.

Thank you Robert for the review - looking forward to your next visit:)

Your place was listed as spectacular but the reality is that it was far from that, this house requires lots of maintainance and we were victims of the lack of it. I will start numbering all the issues that we encountered that you are already aware of it because we kept you informed and the solutions provided were not as expected, but we didn't have any other choice to move because as you may know Guanacaste is fully booked for those dates. 1) Security: As soon as we got into the house, Fernando (the housekeeper) advised that the people staying before us were robbed and all of their computers were stolen. Of course, this was an inmediate warning for us and we were worried and anxious our whole stay, we didn't leave the house because we were scared that something could happen and this limited our vacation, we wanted to do some tours but we couldn't. We had to lock ourselves inside the rooms every night because we felt very insecure. 2) Water leak: We didn't have water for half a day due to a water tube that was broken. That day we hired a massage and we had a delay because of this, the people involved couldn't take a shower. Our plans had to change that day. 3) Sofa: There was a sofa in the dining room that was in a very bad condition, just a few days later it broke which put all of us in danger. 4) Towels: For being a house of three bedrooms there wasn't enough towels and there were in a very bad condition. This is one of the things that when you book a house for more than $3.5k the basic requirement is at least have nice/various towels which were not provided. 5) Kitchen: There was a gas leak that we inmediately advised, as you may know gas leaks are highly dangerous, specially in warm weather. This could have caused an emergency but thankfully it didn't happen. However, the solution provided wasn't enough for a family. 6) Air Conditioners: One of the bedrooms didn't have air conditioner because it was not working at all. We tried to fix it but it was definately a maintainance issue. The other air conditioner located in the dining room had a huge leak during our whole stay and this caused a flood inside the kitchen but also outside near the BBQ area, one of the guests fell down because of this but fortunately there wasn't any injuries. It is important to mention that this air conditioner wasn't on the whole stay, we were really careful on respecting the house rules. Unfortunately, we escalated every single situation during our stay but we highly consider that solutions provided didn't cover the issues as expected.

1) Security: As soon as we got into the house, Fernando (the housekeeper) advised that the people staying before us were robbed and all of their computers were stolen. Of course, this was an inmediate warning for us and we were worried and anxious our whole stay, we didn't leave the house because we were scared that something could happen and this limited our vacation, we wanted to do some tours but we couldn't. We had to lock ourselves inside the rooms every night because we felt very insecure.  ..... ......................I greeted you, your husband and 2 kids and told you about the unfortunate robbery that occured to the previous guest and also mentioned that they didn't lock the doors, didn't use the ADT alarm nor use the safe. Everyone should lock the doors at night no matter where you live in the world.  2) Water leak: We didn't have water for half a day due to a water tube that was broken. That day we hired a massage and we had a delay because of this, the people involved couldn't take a shower. Our plans had to change that day.  .............................a pipe broke on New Years day - not easy to find a plumber on New Years day - we did and in 5 hours the pipe was repairs - this situation was out of our control. When I called you to let you know we were shutting the water to make the repair - you said you were out and you would call your mom to let her know.   3) Sofa: There was a sofa in the dining room that was in a very bad condition, just a few days later it broke which put all of us in danger.  .......................................the sofa is in perfect condition - you unsecured the legs off - not broken - we just secrured them back in when you left.  4) Towels: For being a house of three bedrooms there wasn't enough towels and there were in a very bad condition.   ......................in our welcome package it indicates that each guests receives 2 bath towels, a beach towel, a face towel and a hand towel. We left enough for the guests you paid for. If you wanted/needed extra towels, you could have asked. Our towels are in perfect condition.   5) Kitchen: There was a gas leak that we inmediately advised, as you may know gas leaks are highly dangerous, specially in warm weather. This could have caused an emergency but thankfully it didn't happen. However, the solution provided wasn't enough for a family. .........................A gas leak is out of our control - we shut the gas off immediately and on the Friday of New Years weekend we drove around looking for an electric cooktop. I dropped it off at 9pm. You stated the cooktop was fine for you in writing.  6) Air Conditioners: One of the bedrooms didn't have air conditioner because it was not working at all. We tried to fix it but it was definately a maintainance issue.   ..........................The breaker had popped again out of our control and when the caretake came back to house on his day off - he reset and it was working.  6a)The other air conditioner located in the dining room had a huge leak during our whole stay and this caused a flood inside the kitchen but also outside near the BBQ area, one of the guests fell down because of this but fortunately there wasn't any injuries. It is important to mention that this air conditioner wasn't on the whole stay, we were really careful on respecting the house rules.  ................................in our welcome package we ask that you turn off AC when not occuping a room and there is a notice with the same request by the door to the livingroom. The ac in the kithcen was left on all night long and unfortunately the line got clogged and leaked into the house over night which leaked onto the day bed, soaking 2 mattresses, all the cushions and flooding the main house. If the instructions would have been followed as soon as the ac would have been turned on and started dripping, it would have been shut off the drip line would have been cleaned and none of this would have happened.  The caretaker told us you had an extra overnight guest and a dog which you did not mention. There should have been an extra charge for the additional guest and pets are not allowed as noted on the description. We didn't bring this to your attention becuase of the issues that occured (all out of our control) and we offered you 2 days of houselkeeping free of charge. During all this you wrote on whats ap - "its ok" "these this=ngs happend due to ocean salt" etc.............if you were this unhappy you should have mentioned it while they occured and maybe we could have done something more to compensate you for the inconveniences - not after you departed -   I'm truly sorry that you didn't have the same experience as all our previews guests have had from the past 5 years. Our reviews speak for themselves.

This house is really awesome. Their is a unique feature in that you cannot access the two downstairs bedrooms from inside the house. The rooftop is really great, but, we found ourselves opting to spend more time in the the pool area, and on the secluded beach. Speaking of secluded, this house is it. The immediate area has just about everything you need, but, after that, it's a decent, 30-40 minute drive to places with more amenities, and a gas station. The area restaurants are all really good, we hit several of them more than once. The beach is amazing and you will likely have it to yourself almost all of the time. Sunsets are tough to top. Being secluded as this house is, I would STRONGLY recommend taking the security precautions very seriously. We thought we did, but, did not complete the process as directed and this cost us dearly; the house was robbed during a 2hr dinner window in which we were away. Judging by a repaired hole in the screen on the front door, we have to assume we were not the first targets, this was later confirmed by a neighbor. I do believe that had we followed the security directions precisely, that we likely would have avoided this loss. However, this is unknown because 1) the downstairs bedrooms are not connected to the alarm system, so it's possible this burglar could just keep working the lock until successful(although, once properly explained, these locks seemed very solid), and 2) the alarm system was explained in Spanish, and we never fully understood how to set it. Even after the incident, I am sure we were not setting the alarm correctly, but, did use the locks correctly, which that alone would have very likely turned the robber away. The nice thing is the robber(s) left behind our passports, literally on the nightstand. Either way, it was disheartening to know someone was on the property, in the house, during the 2hrs we were at dinner. We were left wandering about this time-window. Overall, a really great house, in a very secluded location that offers the opportunity for extreme rest and relaxation.

Thank you Jerry for your review. Again, we are truly sorry that is unfortunate incident happend to you and your family.  Yes, the 2 downstairs guest bedrooms are not connected to the alarm system and that is indicated in our welcome package. I'm sorry that the instructions on how to use the ADT alarm were unclear - if we would have known we would have certainly re-explained them. We hope that you will continue to come and visit Costa Rica (for your 11th year) and won't let a few bad apples ruin your experince with the beauty that Costa Rica and its people have to offer.

Truly paradise! You cannot go wrong staying here. Brenda, the property manager was amazing, so many great suggestions and super quick to respond! Cannot wait to return.

We can’t say enough about this amazing location! The house was spotless, the view was just simply stunning. Lee Anne was very responsive, there was trouble with the jacuzzi upon arrival and was fixed very quickly so we were able to enjoy everything this gorgeous house has to offer!!

Very happy to stay at Lee Anne's house again, it is simply beautiful, the location is spectacular, the service and communication perfect. Thank you very much!

Muy contentos de quedarnos nuevamente en la casa de Lee Anne, simplemente es hermosa, la ubicación espectacular, la atención y comunicación perfecta. Muchísimas gracias!

We loved being right on the beach! The host responded right away and was very helpful with booking activities! Check out tatanka for pizza, it is right down the road and was yummy!

Amazing rental. As a host, we are very particular about where we stay. This exceeded our expectations in every way!

Thank you Dana for the kind words - hopefully we will get to have you again in Casa Alegre.

The house and beach were even better than what we imagined. Very secluded and private, with only a few neighbors nearby (who are also quite friendly). Central to Tamarindo and Nosara areas as well as many of the best surf spots in between. Highly recommend a trip to Lola’s up the road in Playa Avellana for a surf and beer. Would confirm internet access if something important for your trip as we only had wifi in parts of the house (believe they are trying to fix that).

Thank you for the review - so happy you enjoyed your time here. Yes, the extender is connected to the old internet service and we are now re-setting it to the new service so it reaches the whole house, pool area and downstairs bedrooms. Sorry we couldn't do that during your stay. Hopefully we'll get to see you again in the future.

A very nice place, but not very well suited for small children.

Excellent place!! The house and the view are beautiful. Nice decor, proximity to the beach and very good communication. I definitely recommend it and would like to come back.

Excelenle lugar!! La casa y la vista son hermosas. Linda decoración, cercanía a la playa y muy buena comunicación. Definitivamente la recomiendo y me gustaría volver.

muy buena ubicación para estar en la playa

Amazing beachfront property! We loved the view from the hot tub on the roof deck, and loved being able to literally step onto the beach. I would recommend Lee Anne's place to any couple or family!

Great house to visit with family or friends. Beachfront property to a great beach, we were lucky enough to see a turtle nesting right outside!

Wonderful views and quiet beach usually there's nobody around

So glad you and your family enjoyed the house - hopefully we will see you again

Really in love with the house is beautiful and super well equipped. It is very well located and the service was excellent. Super recommended

Realmente enamorada de la casa es bellísima y super bien equipada. Esta muy bien ubicada y la atención fue excelente. Super recomendada

Gracias Tathy por tu comentario - ojala nos veamos pronto otra ves

Good place to vacation with family or friends

Buen lugar para vacacionar en familia o amigos

A great spot to get away from it all while in Costa Rica. The beaches are pristine and everything you need is within driving distance. The house can cater to so many different needs but we found it most enjoyable to just hang and take in the beautiful sunsets after our days out adventuring. Our host was very accommodating and communicative and we felt right at home.

I'm so happy you all enjoyed your time at Casa Alegre - hopefully we'll see you again!

I had very high hopes and expectations going into the house, and all were all exceeded. The endless sounds of crashing waves, the sunsets, empty beach as far as the eye can see, the moon shining over the ocean and watching the stars, planets and shooting stars at night from the rooftop jacuzzi. What could be better? We stopped at the grocery store on the way in, stocked the fridge and cupboard, and cooked all our meals in the well-appointed kitchen (toaster, blender, pots, pans, utensils, gas stove). We never felt the need or desire to leave. Beds were comfy and provided relaxing sleep. Air conditioning and fans are very effective, but we mostly just relied on the ocean breezes. The last 10-15 minutes of the road to the house is a bit of a rough dirt road, so a 4x4 definitely helps. If you are looking for a nice slice of peaceful paradise and the perfect getaway, then I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Casa Allegra was a beautiful home in an even more beautiful location. We took a day trip to Tamarindo and wished we had just stayed at our home base to enjoy the private beach instead of the tourist trap! The location (just steps from the beach) was truly the high light of the house. We loved having our morning coffee on the rooftop and enjoyed a dip in the pool on occasion. The value for the house exceeded almost any other airbnb I have stayed in and we had such a great time! We also loved the attached restaurant recommendations, which led us to La Ventana Cafe in Playa Negra which was easily our favorite meal we had while we were in the area. Highly recommend going there if you are in the are! Thanks for a wonderful stay, Brenda!

Brenda’s place was a testament to the beauty and serenity of Playa Junquillal. I had actually booked the stay last minute and she was beyond responsive as well as hospitable towards my requests. The home itself was exsquisite, spacious, and contained everything you needed to enjoy your stay. You can walk less than a minute directly to the beach behind the house, take a dip in the in ground pool, or relax in the jacuzzi on the roof. The sunset was picture perfect as well. I would highly reccomend her place if you are looking to relax, escape from the commotion, and enjoy the natural beauty Costa Rica has to offer. Thanks Brenda!

Beautiful house with amazing views and perfect black sand beach.  Definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a remote location to unwind and relax.  A few fantastic restaurant options near the house if you aren't in the mood to cook.

This house is seriously fantastic for the price! We were on the ocean, and had pretty luxurious amentieis to boot... A tub on the roof for one! We were close enough to do a couple of fun things in the little town and the beach out the back door was pretty laid back. There were long stretches when we had the whole beach to ourselves! My young kids loved it here! The onsite caretaker kept everything orderly and we barely even noticed he was there. On the whole this was a fabulous experiences that I won't soon forget!

What an incredible place, holiday of a lifetime for us a fantastic black beach 1/2 a minute away, warm water, pelicans, wildlife, local restaurants close by, great pool as a family we couldn't have asked for anything better. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place to have a chilled relaxed holiday

Casa Alegra was such a great place to stay!! It was exactly what we were looking for! Quiet and relaxing, and visually stunning! We arrived and our host Brenda met us to say hello. She was incredibly responsive anytime I reached out with a request or a question. We didn’t hire a car and she set up transportation for us to and from the house. It is however a very remote place to stay, you’ll find it very peaceful. We stocked up on food and drink on our way in and rarely had a need to leave. If you want to be amid hustle and bustle with restaurants and bars and shopping really close by then this isn’t the place for you but if you’re looking for somewhere really unique s little off the beaten path to relax and unwind I would highly recommend this place! It was beautiful with great amenities! The house itself is physically gorgeous and just like the photos described! The view from the master bedroom was spectacular!! The house had everything you’d need and the AC and ceiling fans worked great! The wifi was fairly decent for such a remote place, working pretty great upstairs in the main living area. It was a little spotty in the bottom bedrooms and outside, but we didn’t really find it to be a major issue. The BBQ was a real treat and worked really well, way better than mine at home! Needless to say it was how we ate most of our meals! Having stayed a little further south at the start of our trip, we were also really surprised to find out how much warmer the ocean was here. You could just walk straight in, and the beach is literally just steps from the patio. The waves were pretty big too, which provided hours of entertainment!! We spent a lot of time floating around the pool too, which provided a peaceful contrast to the ocean! It really had the best of both worlds! The hammock was a nice place to read and chill out! It was surrounded by shade which we found a great pleasure at some of the hotter parts of the day! The caretaker/gardener Fernando lives on site, but we never saw him. He was very respectful of our privacy. And our host Brenda was wonderful. We met her on the day we arrived and as previously mentioned she was great and very quick with her responses any time I sent her a message with a question or request, she was immediately available with an answer or a solution. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! We would definitely go back again! We came away from here totally relaxed and we really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for the kind words and so happy you all enjoyed the house! You are always welcome here!!

That is great place. We enjoyed it too much. Only one thing is bad-very  very bad internet. Oter things was perfect to spend quiet and amazing days with unbieliveble view and sounds! Every day racoons comes and we feed them-that was nice) thanks, Brenda) if you will fix internet we will come back for sure for long staying!

When you 1st mentioned the issue with the internet speed, after a week plus of being here and after I had asked a few times "how's everything going?", I went over and tested the speed on my cell phone and was able to stream a video without buffering and check emails no problem. Had you mentioned prior to booking that high speed service was so important due to all of you having to work at the same time, I would have made this the situation very clear.  I'm glad that you were still able to enjoy your 3 weeks here.

Brenda's place is simply superb! Everything was there for a perfect stay! The directions to get there were very clear and precise and what about all the advice and suggestions! it was a perfect stay! THANKS!
