Amazing and beautiful location! Craig and his wife were amazing to work with! Great communication and recommendations! I traveled with 2 kids (10/12), my senior mother with minor mobility issues and my spouse. We loved every minute of our stay and hope to make it back soon! Thank you Craig for a most memorable and amazing experience!

Craig was easily the most communicative and helpful host I've ever had, & I've stayed at dozens of homes across the world. He provides a wonderful guide with all the info and recommendations you could possibly need, from rental cars, to excursions, to local restaurants, and more! You can tell he truly cares about being the absolute best host he can be. He went above and beyond for my group and I am extremely grateful for his kindness. As for the property itself, the view was incredible and the home was gorgeous. Would stay here again!

It was a beautiful place to stay with a stunning view. The house is stylishly and at the same time functionally decorated. In the kitchen there is everything you need. We had a wonderful 8 days. Thank you Craig!

I have never written a rewritten a review, but felt Craig’s experience as a host was outstanding. The communication was great start to finish with great recommendations. The rental itself was also as pictured, which was really nice. The location is also great because it is very close to a lot of things. We will definitely look to go back again. This was a very positive experience. I suggest reading the pamphlet Craig puts together to help plan your trip it was helpful for a first timer who was looking for some structured time, but also discovery days. Thanks for everything Craig!

We had a fantastic stay - beautiful unspoilt setting with plenty to do in the area (day trips to Corcovado, Cano Island, Manuel Antonio and loads of great beaches nearby). Villa was lovely and just like the pictures.

The house is beautiful, although if it rains you'll need a 4x4 car to climb the slope. Once inside, the house has all the amenities and a great pool with a fantastic view of the ocean. We saw toucans, macaws, and hummingbirds right from the pool. The main house has beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms with tons of sunlight. Craig was very responsive and extremely helpful with our car troubles.

Great stay at Villa Ananda. Beautiful views of the ocean and passing whales. Main, ocean facing rooms very comfortable and finished to a high standard. Plenty of outside space around the pool, but limited inside seating. The separate casita is functional but not the same high spec as the main house. Overall a wonderful, comfortable and enjoyable stay.
