Pictures do not do this home and location justice!!! It’s breathtaking and the house is stocked with everything you need for pool, cooking, beach, sleeping, bathing… the staff is over the top! Tatiana the chef is out of this world, Marcos the night guard is very funny and amazing, and Tea the masseuse and cleaner is so attentive and wonderful. Our family trip was amazing here and we will be back!

The home is beautiful and spacious you cannot beat the view! As this was a family, relaxing vacation we went from the beach to the pool, and then back to the beach! The home is extremely spacious. It was exactly what I was looking for.

The house was so wonderful for a group of 9 of us. Plenty of room for everyone and we loved that every bedroom had a bathroom. The pool is so nice to cool down in and enjoy complete privacy. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the front porch enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The house staff were amazing and kept it very clean and organized. We absolutely recommend to hire Tatiana to cook! Wow. Just wow!!

Beautiful location. Beautiful home with pool right on the beach. Very comfortable and cozy furniture. Each bedroom has it own connected bath and that worked well for us. Everything was well taken care of and very clean. We would definitely stay here again!

most things have already been said in previous reviews. Casa Costa Palmera is special not only because of the absolutely beautiful location but also because of the amazing people who work so hard to make your stay everything you want it to be. It definitely deserves all the 5 star reviews - our group of 9 all agree that we would love to come back!

We had an incredible stay and truly couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family vacation. Shawna was an amazing host. She helped coordinate all of our excursions and transportation ahead of time, and everything was seamless and incredibly well organized. The location was perfect, right on the beach, which made it easy to relax and enjoy every day. The home itself was very well maintained. It was straightened daily, and the outdoor areas were swept and kept in pristine condition. Everyone we interacted with, from Shawna to the excursion companies, was friendly, helpful, and professional. Overall, a great experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an stress-free, beautiful getaway.

Beautiful home. Was even nicer than the photos. Absolutely loved the waterfall in the pool and was great for our family and little kids to play on the beach right out the front door. Shawna was extremely helpful and responsive.

We loved the house from the very beginning. Beautiful house that is literally right on the beach. Shawna was great to work with, and was very responsive with the couple of minor issues we had.

Shawna's place was so wonderful! It was the perfect place for our group. We enjoyed the amenities, the location, her hospitality, Tatiana's cooking, and the especially the location. Shawna also went out of her way to make sure we were aware of the ocean swells that made it unsafe for us and our little ones to play in the water. She helped us arrange an estuary tour and it was so easy to do thanks to her. Can't say enough about this place and Shawna's hospitality and we really hope to come back someday!
