Casa Pilon

We loved staying at Casa Pilon! It was perfect for our family of 4, with two teenagers. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out, but lots of cozy common places for us to be together as well. Waking up to the cacophony of birds and howler monkeys each morning was the highlight! The grounds are immaculate, and the house itself is well-appointed and very comfortable. When it rained, we played pool and other games, and when it was sunny, we really enjoyed the pool. We rented bikes one day, but found it was easier to Uber, especially as the rainy season made the weather unpredictable. When it did rain, it poured, but despite the open air layout, everything under a roof stayed dry, and we were impressed with how quickly the rain was drained from the property. There is a nice little grocery store just around the corner, and we cooked in for breakfast and most dinners. It's a wonderful little retreat and we highly recommend.

Very beautiful home Very beautiful beach. High quality welcome and support The house would benefit a lot from having air conditioning

This home was an absolute DREAM!!!! We felt like we were at a luxury resort just for us. We spent lots of time in the outdoor living room and the pool space. Chef David is a must for a beautiful meal along with couples massages!! (One of the best massages I've had.) The local food, views and shopping were also incredible. We will be back!!

The villa was beautiful and the host helped out with everything from the time we booked all the way untill the last second we left very responsive and very helpful highly recommended

Fantastic place and stay. Everything is very much as described - beautiful, great location, packed with amenities. Location was really handy - close to the beach and Banana Azul, and still easy to get to town. The host, Sarah, was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including coordinating chef David to come and cooks us the best dinner of the trip. Importantly, it also felt completely safe and secure. It is in a neighborhood with lots of activity, so there will be some noise around, but the convenience of the location was worth some occasional dog barks and road noise. Highly recommended, it's a special place.

Even more magical than the pictures! A great open air space for shared spaces and bedrooms that are fully screened. A private oasis that is not secluded. The casa is on a secondary road so you never feel isolated and the property manager is typically on site. While the beach towns can be biked from the casa, we will have a rental car next time for more flexibility especially useful for after dark.

The place was just perfect! A little slice of heaven 🥰 The large open-plan living room was truly very pleasant, as was the very large swimming pool 🤩 Thank you for everything.

We found this property ideal for 3 couples with 3 spaced-out bedrooms for privacy. The outdoor living/dining space is massive and enjoyed by all. Sarah was very responsive and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Chef David came in and cooked a wonderful meal. We certainly recommend this property.

This place was phenomenal with a peaceful, gorgeous setting inside and out and an abundance of amenities. Sarah and Jim were very communicative, excelled in responsiveness, and provided recommendations for beaches, places of interest, local flavors.... They coordinated transportation to/from San Jose as well as a dinner prepared by Chef David (presentable, flavorable dishes from appetizers to dessert- highly recommend). The wildlife sightings and sounds were spectacular and especially enjoyed waking to the howls of howler monkeys. Thank you Sarah and Jim for a 10+ retreat for our family of 6. Run to and don't walk away from this "magical" 3 bedroom home in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.

We were there 5 nights with 2 adult kids (4 of us) to celebrate my 75th birthday. The place was fabulous. This would be great for 3 couples with plenty of privacy and a lot of common area for group activities. We had a welcome dinner and a birthday dinner prepared by Chef David which was unbelievable. Gio picked us up and returned us to San Jose. ( Sarah can hook you up with Gio and David) Our only regret was not staying longer! Don’t hesitate making a reservation.
