Casa Paloma/Infinity pool/Ocean View - Houses for Rent in Pinilla, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in Costa Rica. It is an oasis surrounded by nature. If you are looking for a clean place, without neighbors nearby, where you can really rest, this is the place for you. Communication was very efficient, and they were always ready to help and meet any need. The ocean view adds a lot to the house. You won't need an alarm clock because the congos will help you with that. I definitely recommend Casa Paloma. I'm sure I'll be back in the near future.

Es de los lugares más hermosos en los que me he hospedado en Costa Rica. Es un oasis rodeado de naturaleza. Si buscas un lugar limpio, sin vecinos cercanos en el que realmente podás descansar, este es el lugar indicado. La comunicación fue muy eficiente y siempre estuvieron pendientes en ayudar y satisfacer cualquier necesidad. La vista hacia el mar le agrega muchísimo a la casa. No vas a necesitar reloj despertador porque los congos te ayudarán con eso. Definitivamente recomiendo Casa Paloma, estoy seguro que volveré en un futuro cercano.

Beautiful place in the mountains - felt like we were deep in the jungle. The monkeys paid us a visit, as well as some other interesting wildlife! The host was very responsive and we felt very safe there with a night guard on site. The infinity pool was gorgeous and kept very clean. Would definitely recommend!

This house is incredible! You are literally in the middle of the jungle but yet close to the touristy side, Tamarindo is about 15min drive. There is a ton of wild life, we saw monkeys every single day! Heard them howling constantly and it was the most amazing thing ever. Only thing that you should keep in mind is that there is a maintenance man who stays on the property and the door to the main house has no key. Which we felt uneasy about at first BUT we were fine. He was sweet and helped clean the pool every morning! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to be relaxed and in nature. Thank you Francisco! Pura Vida!!

This home is amazing! it is definitely an adventure that I am so glad we took. Each day we had breakfast in a kitchen that overlooks the tree tops, beautiful flowers, and ocean. You will see (and hear) birds, frogs, geckos, and if your lucky howler monkeys. We spent our days exploring. Tamarindo Beach is just 20 minutes away. and Rincon national Park where you can see thermal vents, enjoy hot springs and mud baths, and many other adventures are 2 hrs away. In the evenings, there was nothing better than sunsets in the pool to cool off. Dinner with an incredible view, and an AC chilled bedroom to sleep in. Be prepared for stairs and wildlife (sometimes co-habitating with you) - although not in our rooms which was great. We saw frogs, iguanas geckos, bats, and more. it was incredible The house has absolutely everything you need and Francisco is an amazing host. he helped us with plans all the way up to and through our vacation. the location is very safe and I would absolutely go again

Francisco’s house was great to stay at. It has beautiful views of nature and is amazing for photos. It is about 20 minutes to Tamarindo into town. It was very clean and we enjoyed our stay in Costa Rica! You will see lots of animals and bugs which we thought was cool. The pool was amazing and we had a great time! The house is up a windy road but he sent us directions and we had a rental car! Overall an amazing trip and gorgeous house!

We had a delicious vacation, the house is perfect for families who want to spend a vacation  enjoying the beaches but may not leave the house and enjoy it.  The house lends itself to facilitate the privacy of each one for its spaciousness and physical distribution. The view of the house is spectacular and the pool area was vital for the family to share and enjoy.  Francisco's excellent service was always willing to help and make it easier.  It's from all my experience that I recommend this place and of course I would select it again.  Thank you all.  Egle

Pasamos unas vacaciones deliciosas, la casa es perfecta para familias que deseen pasar vacaciones  disfrutando de las playas sino que pueden no salir de la casa y disfrutar de ella.  La casa se presta para facilitar la privacidad de cada uno por su amplitud y distribución física. La vista de la casa es espectacular y el área de la piscina fue vital para la familia para el compartir y disfrutar.  La atención de Francisco excelente estuvo siempre dispuesto ayudar y a facilitar.  Es por toda mi experiencia que recomiendo este alojamiento y por supuesto que volvería a seleccionarla.  Gracias a todos.  Egle

The house is perfect to disconnect and rest. Nice views; Monkeys, ocean view, Mountain View’s. 25 min away from several beaches.

Great view and pool, that’s it…. Not a good place for elderly people due to the stair… no door has a working lock, one of the chairs in the pool broke due to low quality and it was dangerous, but the response was kind of careless when mentioned to the host… one glass door almost felt on us as it’s loose… no lights in the bottom floor hallway and general lack of lighting across the entire house, frogs in the bathroom constantly and swimming pool I have to say it wast cleaned constantly….. main bathroom runs constantly and the water runs out… The curtains in the room are very dirty… so generally speaking we will never rent this place again…. Not worth what we paid for 4 nights

We feel that the price is too high for the house , as it is neglected and the cleanliness is not adequate 😓

Sentimos que el precio está muy elevado para la casa ; ya que está descuidada y la limpieza no es la adecuada 😓

This house is a magical adventurers dream come true. The sunset is breathtaking every day along with the family of monkeys that visit every morning and evening. I visited with a group of 6 women comfortably. We loved the pool day and night. Kitchen has everything you need plus having a chef come in was the best decision ever! Beautiful dining room table for all meals and sharing time together. The location was peaceful and only 20mins to Tamarindo and Playa Avellanas. There is also a delicious Wood Fire pizza restaurant La Finca 5mins from the house. This is a true Costa Rican experience, magical adventure waiting for you. I will return!

Casa Paloma was a perfect home away from home for our group of two couples. It had more than we needed and we really enjoyed the beautiful views, infinity pool, nature and wildlife. The pictures don't do the layout of this house justice and it is extremely spacious with plenty of privacy and places to be. The 3 bedrooms have AC and the rest is very open concept with 2 levels. The location was great for beach hopping along the coast and eating at local restaurants. Francisco is a great host and kept in contact. There is an onsite groundskeeper as well! If you are renting a 4x4 car and are comfortable with the surrounding nature (insects included), you will love your stay here.

This place had a great view, if you love nature and appreciate wild life and critters this would be a great stay for you. Overall, the location was good and the beach and food places weren't too far.

The view is amazing! The communication was good but When we had no electricity at all for over a day (which of course was not the owners fault) and it was raining really really hard he whole night and Francisco knew we do not have any power in our mobile phone we would have expected a little bit more help or information (for example if there are any candles somehwere in the house) and you must like that the person taking care of the house is living some meters above the house and is around the house working.

The interior of the place and the view it has is magnificent. We had a great time at this place. Yes, we would have liked to see the fountain in the form of a waterfall that you see in the photos working and the ice in the fridge seems to have problems as it costs a lot to work as expected. There was a pillowcase that was stained and we found a little exaggerated the amount of $50 for this, in addition to the fact that after washing it was perfect, in the same way this amount was paid. They allowed us to do a late checkout and this we loved to enjoy our stay in Guanacaste more.

El interior del lugar y la vista que tiene es magnífica. La pasamos muy bien en este lugar. Si nos habría gustado ver la fuente en forma de cascada que se ve en las fotos funcionando y el hielo de la nevera parece tener problemas ya que cuesta mucho que funcione como se espera. Hubo una funda de almohada que se manchó y nos pareció un poco exagerado el monto de $50 por esta, además de que luego de lavarla quedó perfecta, de igual manera se pagó este monto. Nos permitieron hacer un late checkout y esto nos encantó para disfrutar más de la estadía en Guanacaste.

We came here to celebrate my 27th birthday. The photos do not do it justice. The house is massive and the pool and view is incredible. We had the most beautiful sunsets and stargazing. We all had a very hard time leaving and hope to return to CR one day soon!

A very nice and safe house. Super comfortable and very well equipped. Communication with Francisco is excellent. Excellent surroundings. A little long from the beaches, but we really enjoyed it.

Una casa muy linda y segura. Super cómoda y muy bien equipada. La comunicación con Francisco excelente. El entorno excelente. Un poco largo de las playas, pero la verdad que lo disfrutamos.

Great spot to get away from all the city noise. The house was a bit dirty but once we communicated with the host everything was promptly taken care of. Very unique layout and would definitely stay here again. We met the local iguana living in tye gutters and under roof tiles. We named.him Fred. He was a daily showing and loved the sun. Thanks for having us.

The area where the house is located is very beautiful.  I recommend it.

La zona donde se ubica la casa es muy hermosa.  Lo recomiendo.

Amazing place to stay. Nice view, well-equipped, very spacious. Thanks for have us!

It is a little paradise in the middle of the jungle, monkeys and birds make every morning a memorable experience. And the sunsets you can admire are incomparable ..! Kitchen lovers find everything needed to prepare any dish. They should be greatly improved in cleaning details!

Es un pequeño paraíso en medio de la selva, Monos y pájaros hacen de cada mañana una experiencia memorable. Y los atardeceres que se pueden admirar son incomparables ..! Los amantes de la cocina encuentran todo lo necesario para preparar cualquier platillo. Deben mejorar mucho en detalles de la limpieza!

Casa Paloma was one of the most beautiful Airbnb’s I have ever been too and my group had an amazing time!

We wanted a place that was quiet, beautiful and isolated. Casa Paloma (and the 27 de abril region in general) has all that. Plus, the area is ideal for biking. Not the best spot for birdwatching, but we were still able to watch some elusive species... And the sunset views are just beautiful

This house definitely has an unbeatable view. If you are looking for a place near good beaches, integrated with the environment, open, in the middle of the jungle; but close to supermarkets: this is the place. The hospitality of the hosts and the guard is also appreciated. The three rooms, dining room and pool overlook the beach, the sunsets are amazing.

Definitivamente esta casa cuenta con una vista enviable. Si buscan un lugar cerca de buenas playas, integrado con el entorno, abierto, en medio de la selva; pero cerca de supermercados: este es el lugar ideal. La hospitalidad de los anfitriones y el guarda también es de agradecer. Los tres cuartos, el comedor y la piscina tienen vista a la playa, los atardeceres son increíbles.

Casa Paloma is spectacular to enjoy a vacation. It has different spots that make the stay versatile. The pool area is spacious and with necessary furniture. Cooking lovers should not worry about bringing utensils, there you will find everything to prepare your dishes. The rooms are comfortable. The service was super good, Francisco was always attentive. Simply, when you visit you won't want to go!

Casa Paloma es espectacular para disfrutar de unas vacaciones. Cuenta con diferentes spots que hacen la estadía versátil. El área de piscina es amplia y con mobiliario necesario. Los amantes de la cocina no deben preocuparse por llevar utensilios, ahí encontrarán todo para preparar sus platillos. Los cuartos son confortables. La atención fue súper buena, Francisco siempre estuvo atento. Simplemente, cuando la visitas no querrás ir!

Excellent service, great scenery and house, recommended!!!

Excelente atención, el paisaje y la casa geniales, recomendada!!!

Awesome experience staying just outside the town in a safe area! Stunning views from the pool and generally a beautiful place to stay. If you’re overly afraid of bugs or can’t handle extreme heat this place may not be the best for you. What do I mean? It was common for us to find spiders in one of our rooms and other bugs, however I’m sure this is fairly common throughout Costa Rica. Part of being in a tropical climate. We’d just recommend you go round your room with a flip flop doing a bug inspection to be comfortable! The kitchen and general area is open plan, there is no AC outside of the bedrooms. If you’re not up doing things fairly early in the morning the heat can be fairly overwhelming! Other than that this place is great and in a beautiful location where you can have a wonderful time with. A larger group of friends.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home.  The sunsets were amazing to view from balcony each evening and several areas outside to enjoy your evening meal.   We had two iguanas who resided on location (outside) whom we named bob and Gertrude.   It is a nice quiet area that is within 10 minute drive to a restaurant and 20 minute drive to Tamarindo.  Would highly recommend this location for anyone planning a visit to the area.  While we did not have 4 wheel drive and were able to get to location with car and most tourist attractions, I would highly recommend SUV for anyone vacationing in Costa Rica.

Francisco was an excellent host, extremely attentive and kind. The house is cozy, impeccable, with open spaces that enhance the experience and enhance the landscapes that can be seen from its location. The pool is simply spectacular It all adds up to a relaxed atmosphere in direct contact with nature.

Francisco fue un excelente anfitrión, sumamente atento y amable. La casa es acogedora, impecable, con espacios abiertos que mejoran la experiencia y potencian los paisajes que se pueden observar desde su ubicación. La piscina es simplemente espectacular. Todo suma para disfrutar de un ambiente relajado en contacto directo con la naturaleza.

Amazing place ! In the middle of the jungle and so close to the best beaches in the area. Lots of privacy. Real contact with the nature . Iguanas, monkeys , colourful birds and butterflies were visiting us daily. It was so nice to have a dip in the good size swimming pool after hot day! Amazing sunsets! Cleaning lady ( every day!) was doing great job. On the top of that we had fresh flowers every day. Francisco was very helpful, giving us good advices and was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay in Casa Paloma very much! Pura Vida! Arek Broda

Our group of 5 stayed at Casa Paloma for one week. Let me start by saying that pictures do not do this place justice. The attention to detail and level of care that has been put into the place is impeccable. The bedrooms have cold AC, plenty of closet space to unpack, and comfortable beds. The kitchen and living room area are an open concept, spacious and partially open to the outside air. The kitchen comes with everything you need to make delicious meals and drinks at home, with plenty of cookware and dish ware. We all enjoyed the large balconies, and used them to watch the monkeys in the morning while having a morning coffee. The real star of the home, however, is the yard. The pool is beautiful and lends itself to perfect views of the incredible sunsets Costa Rica has to offer. Although we found it hard to leave this place, the main strip of Tamarindo was just a 12 minute drive away, and we recommend anyone staying here to get a rental car as cabs in this area are tricky. The grounds are immaculate and lush, with plenty of flowers and green plants. The family who cares for the place kept it very tidy during our stay, which we greatly appreciated. Francisco was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any requests and happy to lend suggestions. We would highly recommend this place to anyone and look forward to returning in the future.

If you are looking for a place with great views, relax, safe, etc that is also near great attractions, this is the place for you. Basically here you can experience the world famous costarrican PURA VIDA!

Very nice place surrounded by beautiful nature. Was there With a group of friends for new year’s eve, about 15 minutes to get to Tamarindo so good location. Always quick response from the host. Clean and safe place. I recommend it.

Our family stayed here over the Christmas holidays. It exceeded our expectations. Francisco provided great recommendations for restaurants and tours and was very helpful with any questions we had. The property itself is spectacular! You can tell that it has taken many years of tender loving care to create the beautiful landscaping. Yarmin and his family do a great job of keeping the grounds looking fabulous. The house was beautiful. The unique layout was perfect for our family. The decor is exactly like what you see in the pictures. In terms of cleanliness, I was so impressed. There was not a spec of dirt anywhere. If you get up nice and early, which we did every day, you can hear and see howler monkeys and so many species of beautiful birds. The sunsets are amazing! We spent many hours in the pool and enjoying the property. Would we come back? In a heartbeat! :)

Amazing place!! Love the view, and the private pool, everything was clean and organized. I will for sure recommend this house. Francisco was very helpful as well and was available when needed.

Spectacular house and amazing pool. Clean rooms, the house is equipped with everything you need to have the best time. I would definitely come back, thank you Francisco for your hospitality and good treatment.

Casa espectacular y la piscina increíble. Cuartos limpios, la casa está equipada con todo lo necesario para pasarlo de lo mejor. Definitivamente volvería, gracias Francisco por su hospitalidad y buen trato.

A beautiful house!! Awesome view!! We had a great time! We will definitely be back

Una casa hermosa!! Vista impresionante!! La pasamos de lo mejor! Sin duda volveremos

The place is really beautiful and the house is in very good condition  Overall it is a comfortable house with large social spaces that allows you to interact super well.  Francisco is an excellent host, who took great care of us and helped us a lot with the logistics of the house.   They have a lady who comes to clean the house who has a superlative customer service concept, and who really made a difference in the experience.    It's a place I'll definitely like coming back to.

El lugar es realmente bello y la casa está en muy buenas condiciones.  En general es una casa cómoda con amplios espacios sociales que permite interactuar super bien.  Francisco es un excelente host, que nos atendió de lo mejor y nos guió bastante en los temas de logística de la casa.   Tienen una señora que llega a limpiar al casa que tiene un concepto de servicio al cliente superlativo, y que realmente hizo una diferencia en la experiencia.    ES un sitio al que definitivamente me gustará volver.

It is a very beautiful and quiet place just to disconnect from the routine without forgetting that you are very close to everything you need. The sunsets are spectacular and Francisco was always in touch with us.

Es un lugar muy bello y tranquilo apenas para desconectarse de la rutina sin olvidar q se está muy cerca de todo lo q se necesita. Los atardeceres son espectaculares y Francisco siempre estuvo en comunicación con nosotros.

The house is absolutely amazing! It's giant and so different from what we are used to. Wide open windows and doors looking out into the beautiful wilderness. The pool was so refreshing and a nice escape from the 38 degree heat! The kids spent 3 hours in the pool when we first got there. The kids were really excited about the big house and all the space. The house and pool were definitely our favourite part.

The place is very cute, a beautiful Visa.

Very beautiful and large villa. In the middle of nature. The pool is beautiful. 20 min from Tamarindo. We loved our stay.

Très belle et grande villa. En pleine nature. La piscine est magnifique. À 20 min de Tamarindo. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

Our favorite part this property was the Howler Moneky's which came out to entertain us every morning at sunrise and evening at dusk. So enjoyable watching and listening to them and how they interact with eathother. The sunsets were also beautiful as was the infinity pool, which we spent a lot of time in. Fancisco and the property guard/caretaker were very helpful and kind. Lots of windows and glass doors which allow for panoramic views which are beautiful. I like to consider myself well traveled and ready for an adventure. I think it is important to know the house is well removed from a main road, on a dirt, hilly and steep road which takes some time getting used to. The layout of the house is odd and not completley enclosed. It is basically like a big tree house in the forest, with a few doors that shut. The home does not lock and there is not a safe. With the openess of the home you will likely experience some visits from bugs, spiders, geckos, iguana's and misc. This house is not for the faint of heart or someone that does not feel up to an adventure. There are a lot of stairs without railings. This is probably not optimal for people with small children or people with any thype of health issue. We did not have water in one of the bathroom showers, and no hot water in any of the 3 showers. That was ok for me, because it was so hot. All in all it was a fun adventure that will hold lifelong memories.

The Airbnb was AMAZING. Very spacious and clean.

The home is absolutely beautiful and very close to nature. The views from the house are beautiful and the pool is very nice as well. With that said, I didn't want to give the home less than 5 stars because the service was good and the home itself is very nice, but there were some things that we did not anticipate. For example, there were bugs everywhere. The last night we had an ant infestation in one of the rooms and had to sleep elsewhere. All of us would wake up with insect bites and not to mention one day we found a huge tarantula in the kitchen that we killed. Then we found a huge tarantula in one of the rooms as well. Another thing to note is that there is one restroom for two of the bedrooms and to get to it you have to walk outside on the "balcony" to get to it which is a bit scary at night when everything is dark. In hindsight, this house is in the middle of the "forest" so we should have known we might encounter issues with the bugs. For us "city folks", this house was a little too open to nature for our taste. But if you are a person who loves the outdoors, camping, etc. then this may be the perfect house for you as long as you don't mind the bugs! The service was great though and they were very responsive to our messages.

Our family of 4 enjoyed 11 days at Casa Paloma. If you like to cook as I do, and don’t mind being several kilometers from stores & restaurants, the complete kitchen was easy to make great meals. Favorites include: The views & jungle canopy, the howler monkeys, the various birds, and the two local super friendly dogs that would often meet and run with us in the morning, & the peacefulness. We were able to use Casa Paloma as a base for different daily activities (after leisurely mornings) which included trips to Parks and trips to the various beaches in the afternoon. But, we would always rush home to be sure that we were on the viewing deck to watch the sun go down and enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the Adirondack chairs. The pool and lush grounds were much appreciated and enjoyed. We loved also the open airy floor plan, and never used AC, preferring the fans & open breezes. Unas tranquilas vaccaciones familiares. Heavenly! ❤️ Pura Vida!

This is real Paradise on earth. Absolutely beautiful. The best host ever! Magical place. Highly recommended. Definitly it's a place  we need to go back to.

Very generous people who take care of this beautiful property.  You wont go wrong working with this crew!

Gabriela’s house will provide you a great hospitality, we really felt like at home, the house is increíble, has an awesome view, an excelente pool and the rooms are great and with plenty of space. thank you so much for the special treatment to our family. We had a blast!

Very friendly and helpful people! Quite big house for all 8 people!

Personas muy amables y serviciales! Casa bastante grande para las 8 personas!

Amazing place!!! Everything was excellent!!

The house is very nice, it has a rustic style as it is totally made of wood, the design of the pool stands out. In the rooms there are fans and A/C in the rest of the house only fans. The master bedroom does have its own bathroom, while the other two that are down the stairs could be said to share one since the other is closer to the pool. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. 

La casa es muy bonita, tiene un estilo rústico ya que es totalmente en madera, sobresale el diseño de la piscina. En las habitaciones hay ventiladores y A/C en el resto de la casa solo ventiladores. El cuarto principal si tiene su propio baño, mientras que los otros dos que se encuentran bajando las gradas se podría decir que comparten uno puesto que el otro se encuentra más cercano a la piscina. La casa está totalmente equipada con todo lo necesario. 

This house is a perfect escape from reality, it's an amazing view and super relaxing. Francisco was super helpful and always available when needed. The Wi-Fi didn't really work at all but everything else was great!

Very nice house in a special place! I highly recommend it !

Muy linda casa en un lugar especial ! Yo recomiendo mucho !

Gabriela's place was perfect! You can't beat a sunset with an infinity pool while listening to the howler monkeys. Thank you for the hospitality!

Francisco was beyond helpful and accommodating for our party of 6 throughout our whole stay here. The place is a bit off the main road - we ended up popping a tire on our rental car on our drive up when we weren't being that careful on a dip - but the destination is worth all the struggle. The clear skies allow for the best stargazing you will ever experience. The pool is such a nice addition - really helped our group relax more. The house is so well built and decorated. Truly a resort. We struggled leaving the place because it was so beautiful :). Definitely worth every penny and every drive. Make sure to go slow on the road! (we also did not have the best rental car for tough terrains...) Maria was so helpful - cleaned the whole house every day. Hermain as well. All around, an extremely safe, clean, and spectacular place. We are all planning on coming back soon!

If you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay this is it, you have all you need for a great stay in Tamarindo area, the beaches are close and the location of the house is very quiet and safe, you can relax by the pool and see the sunset in the Avellana’s horizon Francisco and the house keeper are very kind people and will help you with anything you need Would definitely stay again

It's a beautiful house! It has everything you need for a quiet weekend, very close to the beach by car, a private place with a spectacular view. Definitely a place to visit again.

Es una casa hermosa! Tiene todo lo que necesitas para pasar un fin de semana tranquilo, muy cerca de la playa en carro, un lugar privado con una vista espectacular. Definitivamente es un lugar para volver a visitar.

Francisco's place is just spectacular !! The house is exactly as shown on photos, the view is amazing, big pool, private, secure, cozy, and most important super clean, all the kitchen wear were ready to be use.  This place is equipped with everything you need to have an amazing and confortable stay, we loved it and will be back !!

Beautiful and very well equipped house with extraordinary panoramic views and beautiful gardens visited by countless morning birds.

Casa preciosa y muy bien equipada con vistas panorámicas extraordinarias y bellos jardínes visitados por innumerables aves mañaneras.

Gabriela's place is absolutely gorgeous.  If you're looking for a real retreat surrounded by nature, I highly recommend this beautiful home.  We loved spending our mornings and nights in the pool.  It's an open air place which really allows you an opportunity to experience the beautiful surroundings.  Tamarindo was an easy 20 minute drive for us to grab dinner and we were able to find plenty of fun excursions to do in the area as well.  Gabriela was a very helpful host.  We're missing the beautiful Casa Paloma already!  

Gabriela was very helpful and had a friend meet us to help navigate dirt road. This house is not new but a lot of house for the money. Groundskeeper was kind enough to wash and dry our dirty laundry.  

Great house with good location. Not too close to town and beaches but not too far either, about 20 min. So you get privacy and quiet at night! The problem is the dirt road leading up to it was annoying. Also there were bugs in the house especially in the kitchen and bathrooms but I think it is expected of a house in the middle of nature with the common areas' windows always open . The house is a bit dated (tile in the bathrooms, kitchen etc) but it's a very nice house. The pool area is very nice and the 2 care takers are amazing Maria and Yermain). Maria cleaned the house EVERY day and did our laundry (washed them, hung them to dry and folded them) and Yermain took care of everything else on the property. we saw wildlife everyday (monkeys, huge iguana living on the property etc). star gazing at night was really nice! A couple of things the description and pictures won't mention on airbnb is that there is no A/C in the common areas of the house Only bedrooms. One bedroom only has an ensuite, the upstairs one. The other 2 bedrooms are downstairs on a different level and they share a bathroom that is disconnected from the rooms. There's also another bathroom under the pool that was convenient with a shower. We thought the different levels on the house and the stairs everywhere were going to be a problem with the kids but it was fine. Yermain cleaned the grill for us and we cooked a couple of nights it was really nice! Also Gabriela was VERY responsive, whatever we needed we emailed and we got an answer right away. All the repairs and issues in the house were taken care of in a timely manner. Also Gabriela helped us with hiring a chef for one night. He did a great job ! the food was yummy and we actually saw him the following day at a restaurant on the beach in Tamarindo! His name is Warren so I recommend him. All in all I liked the house and Gabriela was very nice and helpful. Just make sure you are ok with the dirt road (you will need a 4x4) and the lack of A/C in the common areas of the house. Last thing to be aware of id the fact that the other 2 bedrooms are downstairs and if you are one family with kids you wouldn't hear them at night if they needed anything.(we had our daughter sleep with us in the room upstairs)

Gabriela's place is gorgeous!! It's a short hop from all the fun places to visit, dine, and play...and she was very helpful in guiding us. Needless to say we had the most awesome dining experiences. All the rooms are air conditioned, and despite being remotely located in the hills, the place had all the modern amenities you can ask for. Probably the best part of the place is being able to just hang out in the pool under the clear sky filled with stars while sipping drinks...and the resident howling monkeys definitely added to the vibe.  I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.
