My husband and I traveled with 4 kids (ages 11-17) and the house was a perfect set up for us! Amazing pool and patio with canopies of trees that the monkeys come visit you daily in! Hammocks off every bedroom and down under the trees for watching the beautiful nature. The beach - what an amazing beach right in the backyard! My husband and I could sit by the pool and see and hear our kids playing at the water. The water is calm at the beach and safe! So many creatures everywhere from the monkeys, crabs, birds, huge iguanas, lizards, etc. - all right in your backyard! Bedrooms were air conditioned nicely. The main part of the house is not, but gets nice air from the large windows that open and are screened in plus the fans. Gabby and Brayan were super helpful. We had Gabby make us a dinner for the night we arrived and our flight was delayed almost 5 hours. She was so accommodating and still greeted us with a nice dinner - even though we were late.

This place was secluded enough to feel like you had your own private beach and close enough to town that you could be part of the crowd as well.

This place is just flat out paradise and amazing. It is almost surreal how amazing it is and is better than any six  star resort ever could be. First off you have your own beach at the far end of a major beach with rock cliffs, which makes you feel like you are on your own desert island. You’re also very close to town with amazing restaurants, nightlife, and activity. Gaby and Brian, who take care of the estate are there always and are so attentive and helpful in every way! They even cook meals for you, which were just amazing. What was even more amazing is my mother was with us on the trip and was injured and we had to cut the trip short.  Sitting outside on the deck near the pool is like being in a wildlife preserve. Every day we saw monkeys, squirrels, amazing birds, iguanas, and all sorts of other animals! They were so responsive and Dariush even refunded the nights we were not able to stay immediately.. We will absolutely be back here as soon as we can!

The location at the end of the beach was great, you can walk to The Pacifico for dinner but otherwise you will need a golf cart or car. The security doors made us feel very safe at night. The pool was clean. The howler monkeys were great fun but very loud at night just like their name suggests. Lots of iguanas, geckos, fish, crabs, birds, and regular visits by a coatimundi. Minor downsides: We brought an inflatable paddle board but having some kayaks available would have been nice but maybe risky from the owner's view. Don't leave anything on the beach unattended, but that goes for all of Costa Rica. We experienced some petty theft of flip flops and sunglasses while swimming. Plan to get up early to do things as the house gets very hot in the mid-afternoon. The bedrooms are air conditioned. Bryan and Gabi were wonderful caretakers and cooks. I highly recommend their meals. We stayed for 10 days and we had them clean it once halfway through. All in all, a wonderful stay.

Scott, thanks for the detailed review and the kind words about Gaby and Bryan, they’ll be happy to hear it. The howler monkeys really are part of the experience here. I’m glad they came to visit and put on a show. Yes, it was indeed very hot during your stay. For context, May 2026 has been a historically and unusually hot month in Guanacaste, even for the locals. You and your family are always welcome back. Hopefully on cooler weather next time. Kindest regards, Dariush

Our stay was excellent, the home was private, clean and had amazing views. The beach in front was pristine and it was relatively easy to navigate around town with a golf cart. We had Gabby and Brayan prepare a meal for us on the first night and I would absolutely recommend that! The home felt safe and secure. This was most certainly one of the best AirBnB’s we’ve ever stayed in. We hope to come back in the future.

Thank you, Chris and Angela. Means a lot to hear this was one of the best stays you’ve had. I’m glad to hear Gaby’s first-night dinner started things off right, and that the golf cart made getting around town easy. Both of you were great guests. Take care, and you’re welcome back anytime. Kindest regards, Dariush

Dariush’s place exceeded all of our expectations and was perfect for our two families of 4 with kids. The property is every bit as stunning as pictured, with a fantastic beach view and private beach access. We all felt we could have stayed longer. Gaby and Brayan, the on site keepers, were always responsive and present but never invasive and their meals were unbelievable and provided both convenience and nourishment. The house has *everything* you need- beach chairs, pool noodles, hammocks, Tupperware, cooking utensils, laundry detergent, even toothpaste! This is by far the nicest Airbnb we have ever been on and we all agree we would go back in a heartbeat. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a monkeys and exotic birds. Beach is safe for kids- the waves were gentle. If you book this house, you will have the dreamiest stay, guaranteed.

Thank you, Sarah! Hearing that this was your nicest Airbnb stay means a lot, especially with two families and four kids in tow. Gaby's cooking clearly left its mark, and the monkeys never disappoint either. You're welcome back anytime. Kindest regards, Dariush

It really is like having your own private beach. The scenery is gorgeous. Situated on the end of the strip of beach you may get a handful of people from places nearer town but for the most part it’s all yours. If you tire of the beach, head back towards the house and relax in one of the 4 hammocks. Need to cool off, the pool is just the right size and the views of the beach at sunset is gorgeous. The house itself is spacious and well appointed. The a/c blows nice and cool in the bedrooms. And town is a 3 min drive if you need to go to the market or would like a meal out. HOWEVER, make sure to request at least 1 meal made by Gabby and Brayan. The food is delicious and they are oh so nice. Strong recommend on booking this place. If it’s available you should grab the chance to stay here.

Worth every penny. What a beautiful spot! We enjoyed every minute we spent in this incredible location. Gaby and Bryan were beyond helpful and it is so nice to have them on the property. We felt safe, taken care of and communication with Gaby, Bryan and Dairush was a 10+. The major highlights of this home are the beautiful outdoor area and the hilarious monkeys. We will definitely be back!!! 5 stars across the board.

Thank you, Autumn! So happy you and your family felt right at home. Gaby and Brayan loved having you, and I'm glad the Congo monkeys put on a good show! You're always welcome back at the last house on the beach. Kindest regards, Dariush

Wonderful stay for our family of 5! Early morning beach walks, monkey's and beautiful sunsets were a highlight. The house was wonderful and communication was easy between Gabby (who made us a great meal when we arrived!) and Dariush if we had any questions. It really is located in a prime location away from it all but walking distance (or a short golf cart drive) to get to some amenities! A wonderful reprieve from a brutal winter.

Thank you, Kelly! So happy you and your family got to experience the morning walks, the monkeys, and those sunsets. Gaby will be thrilled to hear she made a good first impression with that welcome meal. Hope the winter back home feels a little more bearable knowing you have a standing invitation to return! Kindest regards, Dariush

Trip of a lifetime for us. We loved the location and went spearfishing every day. Gaby and Brayan were exceptional hosts and took very good care of us! We got out for a fishing boat adventure, lots of pool, fire pit and canopy time. Seriously good vibes at this place. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The home was fantastic and our family loved it. Brayan and Gaby were super helpful while we were here and cooked some fantastic food for us. Sitting out by the pool you could see all kinds of birds, lizards, and even monkeys!

Best villa on in Coco, perfect location away from main strip, nestled up against the mountain. Lovely architecture, clean and comfortable.

Once again our family had a wonderful time at Dariush’s property, enjoying all the amenities the home has to offer, the amazing food prepared by Bryan and Gabby and the general relaxation Costa Rica has to offer.  We will be back!

We had an amazing stay at Casa La Mar! We were a group of 3 families, each with 2 young kids and Dariush, Gaby, and Brayan were incredibly kind and accommodating and made for a relaxing family vacation. Would highly recommend for any group with children! The location was perfect - we loved being steps away from the beach and enjoyed seeing every sunset there. We rented a golf cart for easy trips to town for groceries and restaurants. We saw monkeys every day from the patio and pool! We had Gaby and Brayan cook every breakfast and dinner for us and can’t recommend it enough! Such a convenient and enjoyable way to do a trip with young kids. They were so accommodating of our kids and making adjustments for picky eaters and meal times that worked well for our kids. A huge thank you to Gaby and Brayan for hosting us and allowing the parents to actually enjoy their vacation!

My family had a wonderful time staying at Casa LaMar! We made so many great memories and all of the recommendations, including transportation and activities in the Guanacaste province we’re fantastic. From the recommendation on golf cart rentals to the tours and tour guides, everything went soo smoothly.  Most importantly Gaby and Brayan were extremely friendly, very helpful and cooked us some amazing meals!  We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the beautiful view from the pool area. We were even able to see monkeys in the trees nearby!!  Overall we had a wonderful experience and will definitely look to come back in the future!!!

The perfect spot for our family to relax and have a home base to explore Guanacaste. The pool was clean and always ready to cool off in — and being the last house at the end of the  beach gave it all has a very private feeling. We felt super safe and comfortable the entire time. The AC in the bedrooms was key and worked great. Gaby and Brayan prepared an awesome meal that the whole family (including some picky eaters) loved. Highly recommend Casa La Mar if you want a relaxing place to stay right on the beach away from town, but still close enough to walk in or make a short drive for supplies.

This place was absolutely amazing! The property is super private and tucked away at the end of the beach—perfect for a peaceful getaway. Brayan and Gaby were incredibly sweet and welcoming. They made some Marlin ceviche that was hands down the best I’ve ever had! The home was beautiful, relaxing, and just a short drive to town. I definitely hope to come back soon! Highly recommend!

This is our second year in a row staying at Dariush’s beautiful place. The house is spacious and comfortable for our large family and the view is amazing. Our favorite part is how hospitable Gaby and Brayan are during the stay. We requested that Gaby prepare a meal 6 out of the 7 nights we were there. Each meal was delicious! We are already looking forward to coming back! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Elizabeth, thank you so much! It was an absolute pleasure hosting your family for the second consecutive year at Casa LAMAR! We're so happy to hear that the villa's spacious layout continues to be a perfect fit for your large and lovely family. Gaby and Brayan truly enjoy making every visit special, and they (along with Melanie) were thrilled to know that you, Tori, and the entire family were coming back. Knowing that you chose to have Gaby cook most nights really warms our hearts. We can't wait to welcome you back next year! Thank you so much for being such wonderful guests and for including Casa LAMAR as part of your family tradition. Pura vida!

This place gets better every time we visit! Its like home away from home. Beautiful inside and out and in the perfect location. We will be back! Also, you have to try Gaby and Brayan's home cooking....the best around.

Paradise! It was such a pleasure staying here. Dariush was so lovely to answer all my before getting there questions and Gaby and Brayan are amazing caretakers that bring even more joy to the spot, so nice to have help with anything in the area. And as you’ve read Gaby’s cooking is amazing. I was hesitant to book dinner for the first night like oh what if we’re late blah blah… so glad we did!!! All we wanted to do was hang out at the house … but of course we adventured out and had so much fun everywhere we went; walking down the beach to places is a breeze and renting a golf cart was super fun for grocery runs and joy rides around town. The rooms are huge, outside areas immaculate and honestly it’s even better than the photos. AC in the bedrooms give you the super cool option but also screens everywhere if you want to go the breezy route. It’s super safe vibes and just instantly relaxing to be there. I feel so lucky! 🫶

Thank you so much, Erica! It was a pleasure to host you, your partner, and your mom. We’re thrilled to hear that you felt the paradise vibes—safety and instant relaxation are a vacation must! Gaby and Brayan are indeed gems, and we’re so glad their hospitality made your stay even more special. And yes, Gaby’s cooking is truly something else—booking that first dinner is always a great idea, and we’re so happy you loved it! Golf carts are definitely a fun way to explore downtown. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Casa LAMAR someday! Thank you for choosing us and for being such wonderful guests. Pura vida!

Would come back and recommend to other friends! Our group felt like the home was even more beautiful than the photos in the listing. It was walkable on the beach or via the road to the small town area (restaurants, bars, coffee shops) but far enough away that we felt we had our own little corner of the beach. We felt safe the entire time. The shaded sitting areas with the floating bed and multiple hammocks were perfect for the warmer afternoons. We saw monkeys in the tree at breakfast one morning! There is A/C in the bedrooms. You can hear the ocean from the kitchen/pool area! Dariush was proactive with communication, and he provided helpful instructions for coordinating a grocery delivery before we arrived. Chef Gaby and Brayan made around half of our meals, and it was the best food we had during our trip! They also helped maintain the house throughout the week, like cleaning the pool and making sure we had everything we needed for an awesome stay.

Thank you so much, Kelli! We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time at Casa LAMAR. Wow, It means a lot to us that you found the place even more beautiful than the photos! The combination of privacy and easy access to town really is one of the things that make the location special, and it sounds like you made the most of it! Monkeys at breakfast (or any time of the day, really) are always a treat--I´m so happy you got to experience our hairy little friends. And yes, Gaby and Brayan always put their hearts out to ensure our guests have the best stay possible. Gaby got so happy when I told her her food was the best you had during your trip! We’d love to welcome you back anytime! Thank you for being such thoughtful guests. Do recommend us to your friends, and if any of them come without you, please let us know to treat them like our own. Pura Vida!

The villa was amazing. Right on the water, plenty of amenities and the best was there are monkeys in the backyard! They don’t bother you but are so fun to watch. Host and staff extremely responsive. The place was clean and just as the pictures describe. Recommend 1000%!!

Our trip to Costa Rica was breathtaking, it was a trip of a lifetime and this property was very much a big piece of it as were Gabby and Brian.  The property is absolutely beautiful and comes with the most amazing wildlife and views.  Gabby and Brian were not only amazing but became family during the trip.  Their cooking was top shelf and their company was even better. Thanks for making this such a memorable experience for our family. ❤️. Pure Vida.

Dariush’s place is truly special.  We spent six nights here with a full house and never felt cramped. Brian and Gaby were amazing hosts, always helpful at even the most inconvenient times of day.  The location is very private and secure as it’s the last property on that stretch of beach, elevated and sits back a bit from the shoreline.  This makes for amazing wildlife watching level with the tree line, yet the beach is only steps away. The cooling pool was perfect after a long day, and the home and kitchen well equipped for meals and margaritas!  We did have Gaby shop and cook for us, and it was delicious - highly recommended!!  We will stay here again on our next visit to Coco.  Thank you Dariush, Brian and Gaby, for making our family trip amazing!!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this at Dariush’s home. My wife, three kids, and I made unforgettable memories here. The house is located at the very northern end of Coco Beach, an area that's beautifully clean and quiet, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The house itself is spacious, with plenty of room for our family to spread out and relax. We especially loved Gaby and Brayan who prepared some great meals and cleaned the home. The pool was a hit with the kids and provided endless fun! Everything about this place was perfect for a family getaway, and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to enjoy the beach. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private place to get away.

If we could give Dariush, Gaby, and Brayan's place 10 stars, we would! What an incredibly special place in the care of wonderful people. Hands down one of the best vacations we have ever been on, which was in large part due to this airbnb. Costa Rica is a beautiful country, this airbnb an absolute gem. From the serene surroundings and nature, to being steps away from the beach, to Gaby's delicious meals, this was the respite all of us adults greatly needed from our day-to-day. The pool attached to the kitchen was a great touch, especially with 4 children in our group (ages 3-10). As mentioned in prior reviews, the beach is public. However, with the property at the end of the cove, it is as close to private as you can get. Our kids loved the surf and searching for hermit crabs - they are everywhere! Gaby and Brayan were extremely attentive and friendly. We felt at home. I highly recommend treating yourself to at least one of their meals - an absolute highlight for all of us.

We had an amazing time in Costa Rica! Dariush’s place is in a stunning location right on the beach. Since it’s at the very end of a public beach, it feels like you have your own private slice of paradise. Howler monkeys came right up to the house and spent time in the trees in the yard, which was a unique experience. We rented a golf cart and found it was just a short 2-minute ride to Playas del Coco, where you can find great restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. Gabby and her family are incredible hosts and were always available to help with any questions. She’s a wonderful cook, and our family loved her meals. We can’t recommend this Airbnb enough! If you’re thinking of visiting Costa Rica, this is definitely the place to stay.

Dariush’s stay in beautiful Playa del coco was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Gaby and Brayan who gave us a tour of the house. That evening (and two more after) we were treated by Gaby’s phenomenal cooking. I highly recommend her traditional costa rican dishes. We found that despite the costa rican heat, each of the expansive rooms supplied individualized and copious air conditioning. We had a small plumbing issue one afternoon but we informed Brayan and it was handled by professionals within the same day. The house’s proximity to the beach (especially its location at the very end of the cove) offered us a private resort level of accessibility and privacy. Restaurants, bars, and tourist shops were all within walking distance— and even better walking along the scenic beach. Checkout was a breeze— zero requests beyond general tidying. Dariush’s home is an exceptional airbnb stay for those looking for a tailored experience.

Our family of 10 stayed at this beautiful home. What an unforgettable experience. One of the most beautiful locations and settings. at the end of a wonderful beach, the house is well laid out, the property is spectacular! The rooms all air-conditioned. It checks all of the boxes. Gaby and Brian were wonderful as well and on site when we needed anything. Couldn’t recommend this more! We hope to come back!

Dariush’s place is beautiful and spacious. The view of the ocean was breathtaking. He was a very responsive host. Our favorite part of this AirBNB was Gabby & Brayan. They took great care of our family during our stay. We had Gabby cook for us 5 nights and highly recommend her meals! We hope to come back again!

Our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 young kids) had a relaxing, fun-filled time on this beautiful property. The views are even better in person. The proximity to the beach is SO convenient. Makes it easy to run back to the house when you inevitably forget something. The place is comfortable, and fully stocked with all of the conveniences a family needs. The kitchen has all the necessary gear/gadgets. The pool was the perfect size for our 3 and 5 year olds to practice swimming.  Gabyy and Brayan are incredibly lovely and helpful. They proactively found ways of making our stay more pleasant. And — as stated here by many people already — Gabyy whips up really tasty meals. Highly recommend asking them to make dinner while you step out to watch the sunset. The views are unbeatable, and coming back to a delicious meal (and clean kitchen!) was a tired parent's dream. The monkeys REALLY DO visit almost daily and they provide a ton of entertainment. Dariush was great too! Responsive and accommodating.

A beautiful, comfortable home on a beautiful beach with postcard-like sunsets. Paradise. Hosts were terrific and very nice. Highly recommend a stay at this home!

Beautiful spot on the beach.  Our kids loved being able to be right on the beach.  The sand was great and the water super clear.  We snorkeled right at our beach and saw lots of fish and other marine life.  The monkeys would come around 1-2 times daily which were cool to watch.  The pool was nice to have with the hot weather and was just right to cool off when the kids didn’t want to play in the waves.  Brayan and Gabby who live just above this place were amazing.  They helped keep things very clean, brought beach toys, and made some amazing meals.  I would definitely recommend having gabby make meals for you during your stay.  They were delicious.  The AC in the bedrooms worked great making it easy to sleep at night.  The view from the living area was great.  Couldn’t beat the location or the hosts.  Thank you!

Our stay in Coco at La Mar was wonderful. It is perched on a hill right above the beach, and you can hear the ocean from all the rooms. The space works great for groups (we were 2 families with kids); the large main room was perfect for cooking and gathering. It's very quick to town and to grocery stores/restaurants. Gaby and Brayan were awesome -- it was definitely worth asking Gaby to cook for us, especially the first day upon arrival. They were helpful with anything -- cleaning, minor fix to a bathroom, airport transportation info, and many others. Useful to know is that the primary bedroom is on the main level, while the other 3 are downstairs, which may be hard if needing to be next to younger kids' rooms. Also I think it is listed but A/C is only in the bedrooms. It was in the upper 90s when we were there and the main room can get a bit warm midday especially if there isn't a breeze.

Very beautiful house. You can hear the sea from all rooms! The kitchen is very well equipped, it lacks nothing. The proximity to the beach with the kids is so much appreciated. Gaby, Brayan, and Melannie are extremely kind. We had great dinners cooked every night. We'd be back!

Très belle maison. On entend la mer de toutes les pièces! La cuisine est très bien équipée, il ne manque de rien. La proximité de la plage avec les enfants est tellement appréciée. Gaby, Brayan et Melannie sont d’une extrême gentillesse. Nous avons eu le droit à d’excellents soupers cuisinés à tous les soirs. On y retournerait volontiers!

We loved having the ocean in our backyard. Gabby and Brian were amazing and responsive. They checked in on us daily.  Beautiful home.

This place is outstanding - absolutely stunning surroundings, right on the sandy beach with a long shallow area (great for kids). Mature trees in the backyard provide the much needed shade and a great place to relax under on the hammocks or a swing, while listening to the ocean waves. We’ve had howler monkeys come by right next to the house multiple times, seen iguanas, tons of butterflies, crabs, right in the backyard. Boat rentals can come in right in front of the house too, which makes it very convenient. Dariush is an amazing host - he arranged a crib and a high chair, made sure we had everything that we needed, and went above and beyond when my husband had a medical emergency and we had to leave a day early. And of course Gaby and Brian are wonderful - not only they helped us with keeping the place tidy and functional, which is already a challenge with our kids, but they provided local recommendations, drove us when we needed the help, brought a ton of toys for the kids, etc

The location of this property absolutely cannot be beat. It feels like you have a private beach most of the time and the lush foliage surrounding the property is beautiful with a lovely canopy of trees (and sometimes howler monkeys!) over the firepit, hammocks, and swing. We spent a week there with our late teens/adult children. The layout of the home is fantastic with the primary bedroom on the main floor and the 3 other bedroom on the lower level, each of which has two beds and a full bath - great for privacy. It's just a few minutes to walk along the beach to get to coffee and restaurants or a 5-minute drive. Note that only the bedrooms have A/C - this may impact WHEN to visit this lovely property for you.  Finally, Dariush is quick to respond, and Gaby and Brayan (on site) were always available at a moment's notice to assist. We truly miss them! Definitely take Gaby up on the offer to cook a meal or two for your stay. It was delicious! Highly recommend.

Thanks a lot for the review, Amy. I love to hear that you enjoyed our villa and its features. Gaby and Brayan send their regards; they appreciate your comment :) Hope to see you soon!

The accommodation is at the end of the beach so the surroundings are very calm. The beach itself has fine sand and few waves. Near the cliffs there are a lot of fish so you can snorkel (save tours if you want). The house is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need to stay for a long time. We were only 5 days but we could have been 10 because there is so much there is so much to do. There were 8 of us and one infant. I absolutely recommend the house and team at Dariush.

El alojamiento está al final de la playa por lo que el entorno es muy tranquilo. La playa en sí tiene arena fina y pocas olas. Cerca de los riscos hay muchos peces por lo que se puede hacer snorkeling (te ahorras los tours si quieres). La casa está decorada con mucho gusto y tiene todo lo necesario para quedarse mucho tiempo. Nosotros estuvimos solo 5 días pero podríamos haber estado 10 porque hay mucho que hacer. Éramos 8 personas y un bebé. Recomiendo absolutamente la casa y al equipo de Dariush.

Hola Christian, nos alegra mucho que hayan podido disfrutar de la villa, sus amenidades y de los alrededores. Fué un placer tenerlos con nosotros. Esperamos verlos de nuevo!

Our stay in Playa Coco was great, and Dariush’s place was perfect for our six people: quiet part of the beach, nice pool in front of the living area, and close to Playa Coco or Playa Hermosa’s centre for anything we might need. Dariush was always responsive and Gabi/Brayan always close by to help. We found out the dishwasher wasn’t working during our stay, but Gabi offered to help if we needed it. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks a lot, Anne-Marie! It was our pleasure hosting you and your family. I'm glad you enjoyed the beach, the pool, and all our other amenities. Gabi and Brayan are great and are always caring of our guests :) We would love to have you back in the future!

This home was perfect for our family!! It was absolutely beautiful and it’s location cannot be beat. The beach out front is great for families with kids. The beach felt very safe even with our 2yo. The house is great and equipped with everything you could possibly think of. When we arrived, we were met by Brian and Gaby making checkin a breeze. Brian and Gaby were great and made sure we were very comfortable during our stay. They brought beach umbrellas, chairs, buggy boards for the kids, and snorkel masks right to the beach for us. The beach hammocks we’re a hit with the kids and a great place for an afternoon nap. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone and especially families with kids.

Knowing our guests enjoyed their stay with us fuels us with joy. We're glad that you were able to spend a fantastic vacation with us. Brayan and Gaby are great. They send their highest regards. From the whole team: Thanks for being such an amazing family to host. Hope to see you soon!

Always a pleasure staying here. The perfect location and the friendliest people. Love, love, love it!

My family( 5 adults and a baby) and I had a great vacation at Dariush's property for 10 days. I say property, as not only is the home beautiful, but the lower hammock and fire pit area was great during the day when it was to warm to be in the sun. The hosts Gaby and Brayan were incredible, very caring and were available whenever needed. They also were perfectly understanding on giving space and caring for the grounds and pool daily. The area is on the far end of the beach, this worked perfectly for us as we were still easily able to walk into town on the beach, or take a 6 minute golf cart ride to get to dinner or groceries. The only thing I regretted was waiting until one of the last nights to have Gabby and her aunt cook for us in the home. I highly recommend you do this early in your trip, as we most likely would have cooked less had we known! They provided a great meal, at a very reasonable price. Note: we had an issue with the stove and within a day they had a technician!

Dariush has such a beautiful home in a wonderful location. I can’t wait to visit again with my family!

The house is beautiful and in the perfect location on Coco. A beautiful gated community offering privacy yet close enough to the town. Walking distance to restaurants and a short drive to the main town or any other beach town on the west cost. Bryan and Gabby live next door and help with any needs and answer many questions. Check in was great with huge fruit plates and an orientation to the house and yard. Local monkeys visited the trees around the house along with many birds. The beach is gorgeous, waves are perfect (fun, but not too big) the house is the last on the beach making one end of beach feeling like your own private beach. We enjoyed sunshine and beach activities during the day, pool, games and dinners in the evenings and easy trips to stores, restaurants, Rincon de la Vieja national park and more. The house is clean, beds are comfortable, layout was great for groups, and the property is meticulously maintained. Thanks for a great action. We love Costa Rica!

Our family really enjoyed the week-long stay we had in March. The house was very clean and private and perfectly situated right on the beach but also close to all the amenities that you need.  We enjoyed all the birds and wildlife around including a tribe of monkeys that would often hang out in the trees on the property. We appreciated the architecture of the home including all the small details like lighting, drainage, air flow and natural materials. It was really nice to have a full kitchen to cook and meals at the amazingly long table were great. The weather was quite hot outside and the ocean was nice and warm but sleeping quarters were comfortable and cool. We'll definitely be back but next time we'll bring friends too.

This is an absolutely beautiful home and perfectly situated on the side of a hill. The host quickly responded to my questions which helped our vacation go smoothly. The pictures don’t adequately capture the beauty and positive vibe of the home. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a wonderful villa with a perfect sized pool and amazing beachfront. Our family loved the space inside the villa and the ease in which my kids could play in the pool while we worked in the open kitchen/family area was great. We always felt safe and well cared for. We would stay again and again. Our host was very responsive and Noelia and David kept the property beautifully manicured. Well done! The area of Coco Beach is charming and small. We will be back.

Hi Melissa, I'm thrilled to hear you and your family had such a wonderful time in our villa and enjoyed all of it's amenities. You were delightful guests, we would love to host you again and again.  David and Noelia send their kind regards.  Make sure to ♡ Casa La Mar on your Airbnb's wishlist so you can find us easily next time!
