Private Pool Oasis Near 5 Beaches &Top Restaurants - Houses for Rent in Santa Cruz, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We had a great stay! The host provided tons of information in things to do in the area and local restaurants. The home has everything you need and gives you access to several nearby beaches.

The house is beautiful and has good potential. However, on the day of our arrival we had a bad experience, as someone entered the property while we were away and our belongings were stolen. The house does not have perimeter security, as it does not have walls. During the police visit, they were able to verify that, although there are bars on the windows, they can be easily opened from the outside. Also, the gate had no lock to secure it. Despite what happened, the host was very attentive to the situation and provided excellent service, as did the local manager, who did their best to support us in the face of what happened. In the end, the police informed us that the area had recently been affected by criminal acts and that it was not very safe.

La casa es bonita y tiene buen potencial. Sin embargo, el día de nuestra llegada vivimos una mala experiencia, ya que alguien ingresó a la propiedad mientras estábamos fuera y nos robaron nuestras pertenencias. La casa no cuenta con seguridad perimetral, pues no tiene tapias. Durante la visita de la policía, pudieron comprobar que, aunque dispone de verjas en las ventanas, estas pueden abrirse fácilmente desde afuera. Además, el portón no tenía candado para asegurarlo. A pesar de lo ocurrido, la anfitriona estuvo muy pendiente de la situación y brindó un trato excelente, al igual que el administrador local, quienes hicieron lo posible por apoyarnos ante lo sucedido. Al final, la policía nos informó que la zona había sido afectada recientemente por actos delictivos y que no era muy segura.

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words. We were very sorry about the incident during your stay and understand how upsetting this must have been. Your safety and peace of mind are very important to us, and we took the situation seriously from the moment you informed us, assisted in securing alternative accommodations, accompanied you to the police, and remained closely involved to offer support during a difficult situation. For clarity for future guests, the home is equipped with a lockable gate, window bars, an alarm system, and an in-home safe, all of which we recommend using, especially the safe for valuables, when away from the property. We have not experienced prior incidents of this nature and many guests have stayed comfortably and securely at the property. Nevertheless, we continuously review and improve our security measures and take all feedback seriously. We regret that your stay was affected and appreciate your recognition of the care provided by our team.

Very nice and comfort home. Great location for visit beaches. The host is friendly and helpful

Thanks, Martin. That’s a very kind review and we loved having you.

The super beautiful house, very well equipped Place is close to several beaches A beautiful place to share with family and friends

La casa súper hermosa , muy bien equipada El lugar queda cerca de varias playas Un lugar hermoso para compartir en familia y con amigos

It is nice, there are many many trees and nature, quite private and safe and Mr. Miguel responds quickly; there were only a few setbacks with the electricity, I imagine in the area and some problems with an air conditioner and the pool that were resolved during the stay.

Es bonito, hay muchos muchos árboles y naturaleza, bastante privado y seguro y el señor Miguel contesta rápido; solo habían algunos contratiempos con la electricidad, imagino por la zona y algunos problemas con un aire acondicionado y la piscina que se fueron resolviendo durante la estadía.

Hi Kathleen, My apologies. Yes, it was an unfortunate timing of a few things happening during your visit and quite out of the ordinary for us. Actually, the air conditioner did break and it was then fixed and the pool did have a problem which was also then fixed. Sometimes it’s hard to predict these things until they happen. Please accept my apologies And a 20% discount on your next visit if you’d like to come again. Kind Regards, Kaethe

Very comfortable iideal house for families and mascota, near heemosas beaches.

Muy comoda casa iideal para familias y mascotaa, cerca de playas heemosas.

Thank you, Monica! It was a pleasure to host you.

The check-in was good, the host waited for us to deliver the house although unfortunately we had several problems, for example: the house does not have air conditioning in the living room and kitchen, it has several fans but they are not enough for the heat it does, the rice cooker is very small, the blender does not serve, there is no cable signal on the TV. The bottom of the pool was sluggish, lack of maintenance in the pool. Must be upgraded to get a better rating

El check in estuvo bien, el anfitrión nos esperó para entregarnos la casa aunque lamentablemente tuvimos varios problemas, por ejemplo: la casa no tiene aire acondicionado en la sala y cocina, tiene varios abanicos pero no son suficientes para el calor que hace, la olla arrocera es muy pequeña, la licuadora no sirve, no hay señal de cable en el televisor. El fondo de la piscina estaba baboso, falta mantenimiento a la piscina. Debe mejorar para obtener una mejor calificación

Kenneth, We have 66 5-star reviews out of 70 and yours is the first 3-star review we've received, which of course concerns us! I’m so sorry you had the experience you had over your 2 day stay. Our guests' happiness is my primary concern and our ultimate goal. We do have an exemplary pool maintenance team used by the top properties in the area and I can assure you the pool was professionally cleaned the day of your arrival, as it is with every guest. Still, something about it was clearly not to your liking. The blender you mention is a Nutri Bullet and you must press down to make it work, unlike common blenders. The manual is in the drawer with other appliance manuals. Additionally, it is noted in our listing and the house document that we have a smart TV; we do not have cable or a satellite, nor do we represent that we do. I also clearly state in the listing that there is AC in every bedroom but 4 fans in the living room/kitchen area. Guests often enjoy keeping the doors open to the veranda and the pool area outside. Still, I know it can be very warm in certain months and I regret you weren’t pleased with your stay. If you'd like to call me at any time to tell me more about how you think we can improve, I welcome more detailed feedback about your experience. Respectfully, Kaethe (& Miguel)

It is a very nice place, very nice stay; the house is just as seen in the pictures and the land is quite large as well as the pool. The beach that is 5 minutes away from the house is really beautiful; great communication with the host too.

Es un lugar muy lindo, muy agradable la estadía; la casa es justo como se ve en las fotografías y el terreno es bastante grande al igual que la piscina. La playa que está a 5 minutos de la casa es realmente hermosa; una gran comunicación también con el host.

Kathleen, It was a pleasure to host you! We’re so pleased it was an enjoyable stay. Find us again! Pura Vida! Kaethe & Miguel

Kaethe’s place was perfect for our two families with 3 young kids. The house and yard and pool were perfect, lots of shade, a kid safe area in the pool and beautiful yard with great shade from the trees. On our third day of the visit we were visited by dozens of howler monkeys hanging out in the trees near the pool. Roosters in the morning mean you can leave your alarm clock at home. Kaethe and the property manager Miguel communicated proactively and responsively. Beautiful beaches nearby without big crowds, each within a few minutes drive. Plenty of local restaurants and places to get groceries. Good value for money, highly recommend.

Thanks for communicating your experiences of Campo de Sueños—it’s truly a special place and it’s so helpful that you described specifics. I’m so pleased you got to experience the monkeys! Love them.

Absolutely an amazing time. Our team spent a week there, it is clean, spacious and secluded.

Thank you Mirza! I'm so happy you all enjoyed with gusto!

The place is incredibly beautiful and comfortable... Everything was just as described and how it looks in the pictures! Beaches near the house 🥰 Thanks to Kaethe for that beautiful place

El lugar es increíblemente bello y cómodo... Todo estaba tal cual lo describe y como se ve en las fotos! Playas cercanas a la casa 🥰 Gracias a Kaethe por ese lugar tan bello

Thank you, Karen, for choosing Campos de Sueños. And for your kind words. Please come again and have a Healthy and Happy New Year!

The location was amazing, and communication was prompt. We really appreciated all the recommendations for the area, and referenced them throughout our stay. I am so glad we explored this part of Costa Rica- it was truly stunning!

It's great to know the info was useful and that you enjoyed the location. It's such a best kept secret. So much to explore and so easy to chill. Please refer your friends if we might be a fit, and come again! Be well. Peace.

We had a wonderful stay during our time here. When we arrived, apparently there was a mishap with the pool, but Kaethe was on top of it and the gentleman cleaning the pool came every morning to check on it to make sure we could safely use it, we greatly appreciated that! The property is beautiful and our young kids loved having the bunkbeds. The beaches nearby were not the greatest for our toddler and young kids but great if you are looking to surf or have older children (or no children). We had to drive further out to calmer waters like Flamingo (which is about an hour each way) where our kids could enjoy the water. We still visited the nearby beaches to walk and pick up seashells and then went back to the house to enjoy the pool.  We ended up having a great time here.

Ivan, thanks so much your kind words and for your patience upon arrival as we changed to a top notch maintenance crew who is now on top of all chemical balance in the pool—So happy you enjoyed it, and and that you found other fun places to play! It was a pleasure hosting you.

Our family of 5 stayed here for a month and it was perfect. The house has plenty of room, the kitchen was well stocked, and the outdoor area (including the pool) was fabulous. We also loved the location - very peaceful and close to multiple amazing beaches. Would 100% stay here again!

It was such a pleasure to be able to host you all for an extended stay. Thanks for being great guests! It’s always a treat to settle in to a place and uncover its secrets. I’m glad you got to know this special corner of the Guanacaste Pacific coast and especially Santa Cruz as it really provides such a great mix of experiences. Please come again!

The accommodations are wonderful and all is well kept and clean. With 2 young children in our party the pool was a smash hit and we spent hours in it every day. We did not have enough days to explore all the beaches along the immediate coast, but the ones we did were not crowded, were very clean, and the locals were so friendly. We started out every morning with coffee and breakfast at the Corazon Coffee Roaster which is a short drive from the house. The Restaurante Latino (a mere 5 minutes walk) was perfect for feeding tired children. Because of travels problems, we did not arrive until late in the evening but shortly after we arrived, Miguel (caretaker) showed up to welcome us and to show us all the intricacies of the house and how things worked. As promised, the howler monkeys paid a visit each morning and the humming birds showed up regularly. Plenty of shade, well appointed house, and easy to feel right at home. We will certainly come back again, soon.

I’m so thrilled to hear the kids enjoyed, and gained confidence in, the pool, as that’s exactly why I designed it with a small enclosed shallow area! Thanks for being our guests and for your warm and gracious review. Please do come back!

What a great find! The pool was amazing and we even saw monkeys, chickens, and hummingbirds in the yard. There are two beaches within 5 mins: Playa Blanca and Playa Callejones. Both more private and clearly favorites of the locals. Larger beaches with restaurants also close, Playa Negra (great for surfing!) and Playa Avenella. The house had everything we needed. Bedrooms stayed nice and cool with AC. Aside from location, the selling point for us was the many recommendations and great service from the house manager Miguel. Kathy was great at answering any questions in advance, and day to day, Miguel was great at assisting any needs, and even got us some groceries! If you visit be sure to check out Bar y Restaurant Latino for dinner and Corazon Surf Cafe for coffee. Owners clearly know the area well, so reading the manual in advance is a must. For anyone visiting soon: there is some construction on the main road in, but you can easily get around using Calle Perro Loco. We will be back!

Thanks so much for choosing Campo de Sueños and for your kind words, appreciation and for sharing your experience. Miguel and I both fully enjoy helping to make guests feel well looked after, at ease and equipped with info to enjoy all the area has to offer. Please do come again!

Kaethe and Miguel were very responsive and helpful hosts. My family of 4 had a great time - the space was perfect for enjoying the pool and relaxing in the Costa Rican weather. We LOVED the recommendations provided (especially the restaurant next door and las tuquitas - best ceviche I've ever had). We really enjoyed guti horseback riding beach tour and the sunset at playa negra!  Pura vida!

Thank you Alissa! I’m so happy you enjoyed your time and absorbed the atmosphere and warmth of Campo de Sueños and our beautiful town!

We had a lovely stay in Kaethe’s home. We enjoyed the pool and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Communications was easy and Kaethe and Miguel were helpful. The house is a little drive from everything (as is pretty much everything in the area) so a car is essential. We look forward to being back again soon.

Thanks for coming and bringing your great energy with you. We’re here any time.

Great house! Close to beautiful beaches! A car is a must for getting around locally. Highly recommend

Thanks, Brandi! It was such a pleasure to host you! Thank you for warming the house with your positivity.

Nice house and yard.  We spent most of the time at the patio and pool.  The kitchen had everything needed.  The rooms are big but some beds not comfortable.  Everything was very clean.  Nothing close to walk to except one restaurant.  Beaches about 10 to 15 min drive.  Miguel very quick to respond.  He arranged a driver to go to the airport and be sure to ask him about the Crocadile tour.

Awesome place for a family. Loved the big open kitchen, outdoor space, super great pool (especially for young kids) and overall stay was exactly what we wanted to escape the cold New England winter. Will for sure be back!!

It was our pleasure to be able to host you and contribute to an enjoyable time away! We’re so sorry you had to wait to get in to the house upon arrival. We’d recently changed our check in time and I think we had a communication glitch with our otherwise excellent cleaners. Please find us again when the kids want to hoo on a surf board! Be well.

We were 5 adult friends. There is a small beach at the end of the road not extremely suited for swimming but you can drive to others nearby. Don't miss the hill to the left on the beach. A short hike up gives you a great view. We grabbed groceries in Santa Cruz and cooked most of our meals in the well appointed kitchen but don't miss Mundo Milo restaurant. The setting and food there were out of this world. The pool was a must have for us It was a good size and well used. Our stay was peaceful, comfortable and felt safe. Miguel was quick to respond when called .

Thanks for sharing your experience and for recommending Mundo Milo which we also love! Please find us again!

I cannot say enough about how lovely Kaethe’s home is! Kaethe and Miguel go above and beyond. The location is great. The property is beautiful and fully equipped. Myself and my family have stayed here twice now, and look forward to visiting many more times. Highly recommend!

It’s always a pleasure, Anya, as you know! Thanks for making hosting so much fun. 🙂

We truly feel at home, Kaethe cares about taking care of all the details so that you don't need anything to have a great time, always attentive to any questions as well as Miguel. We certainly hope to return in the future.

Verdaderamente nos sentimos como en casa, Kaethe se preocupa por cuidar todos los detalles para que no haga falta nada para pasarla muy bien, siempre atenta a cualquier consulta lo mismo que Miguel. Sin duda esperamos regresar en un futuro.

It was a pleasure! I hope you do return. Happy New Year!

Excellent hosts, attentive and very communicative. We are in love with the area and the house, we hope to return soon.

Excelentes anfitriones, atentos y muy comunicativos. Estamos enamorados de la zona y la casa, esperamos volver pronto.

Gloriana! I’m so pleased you all had an excellent experience at the house and in the area.

Kaethe’s place was amazing.  We had a party of seven and it was perfect with a lot of room for everyone to relax. We loved the area with many fantastic restaurants and beaches in close proximity. The grounds were well kept and we loved the adorable monkeys that lived in the trees.  All of Kaethe’s recommendations were excellent and the property manager, Miguel, was very helpful.  I would definitely stay here again!!

Carla, It was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to host you and your group with your up for it sense of adventure and total immersion in the experience, including Chef Juan Carlos’ breakfasts served at the house! Thank you for making hosting so much fun. I do hope we see you again!

Kaethes home was gorgeous. Plenty of space and everything we needed to have a great vacation. There were many beautiful beaches in this area to check out. Running or biking to them was easy and perfect for us to get our daily fitness. This area is a nice change from the hustle and bustle of other areas like Tamarindo. A great place to unwind and explore. There is also a property manager who was really helpful with everything we needed or any questions we had.

Great place to relax and enjoy your very private pool. The house is large and spacious, with a great kitchen.  We  enjoyed the monkeys playing in the trees while we went swimming. Not very walkable with kids to the beach, but a great place to stay with a vehicle as there are lots of beaches near by.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. It was a pleasure to host you! I’m so pleased you were visited by the monkeys and explored the beaches nearby. Hope to see you again!

Thanks, Danilo! I was so so so happy when you wrote to me and said our place is exactly as it’s listed and that you thought the location was great to access amazing beaches and gives you a feeling of the real Costa Rica; not a tourist trap. As that’s what I love about it too.  I hope you and your family come back any time! Be well.

Beautiful home, nice pool, great AC and very comfy beds.

Thanks Daniel. It was a pleasure to have you! Hope you come again. Kaethe

We had a wonderful stay at Kaethe's home in Paraiso, Guanacaste. The home is well maintained and spacious with a lot of outdoor space around the house and a pool to keep the kids entertained.  The grounds of the home also attract a lot of wildlife including a very fine troop of howler monkeys.  The house is nestled in a small town with an easy drive to many beaches and national parks.

This is just a wonderful place. The house is beautiful and spacious. The location is amazing. It is a short drive to one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever been (or a walk), and close to numerous others, but away from some of the hustle and bustle of other towns in Guancaste that can make you feel like you are in Ocean City, NY instead of in a quiet paradise of Costa Rica. (But you can drive to those if you like!) The pool is obviously the highlight of the house-especially if you have children. Definitely recommend.

My family and I spent a glorious week at Campo de Sueños. Kaethe is a congenial and informative host. Miguel Guadamuz, the property manager, is readily available for assistance, advice, and tips. The house blends brown and soft white hues with the forest and green surroundings. Without ostentation or disruption of the setting, Campo de Sueños provides complete modern comfort: large bedrooms and bathrooms, effective and efficient air-conditioning, a state-of-the-art pool, a spacious kitchen and a huge outdoor space. Around it reside tree-dwelling monkeys in bunches. The nearby beaches are beautiful. Nearby towns like Los Pargos and Paraiso boast grocery stores and excellent restaurants. Guanacaste province, where the house is located, is remarkable for the variety of its natural offerings, from volcanos to mountains to beaches. From Kaethe’s recommendations, we chose five activities. Three were arranged by Javier of Pargos Adventures: a surfing lesson at Playa Negra, horseback riding with local ranch workers, and an incredible hike to a waterfall. The horseback excursion included riding along Playa Junquillal, a black sand beach. Water-based nature connected them. Forests are thick. Species are protected. The climate is respected. We went to Ranchos Avellanas, a family-run farm that raises goats and produces cheese, yogurt, and milk. Near more northern beaches, we visited the Diamante animal sanctuary, which features sloths, jaguars, crocodiles, toucans, and monkeys. While we spent many an hour at the Airbnb itself, renting a car facilitated the options of our days there. Campo De Sueños provided the dynamic balance between relaxation and engagement with nature that we sought upon going to Costa Rica.

Beautiful house and excellent location! We stayed seven people and our pet. The house has enough space for us to feel very comfortable, the pool being a success! The directions from Miguel were very clear, we found the house clean and well equipped. Its location is ideal if you are looking for a quiet place surrounded by nature, and its proximity to Playa Callejones is a plus! Excellent beach, few person and perfect for going with children. It can be reached in a car, but in 4x4 it definitely takes advantage of the area more. If they're bringing their own food, keep in mind that the larger supermarkets are about 30-40 minutes away, but the landscapes of Guanacaste are still worth it! Thank you very much Kaethe and Miguel! We hope to come back soon!

Hermosa casa y excelente ubicación! Nos hospedamos 7 personas y nuestra mascota. La casa cuenta con suficiente espacio para que nos sintiéramos muy cómodos, siendo la piscina todo un éxito!. Las indicaciones por parte de Miguel fueron muy claras, encontramos la casa limpia y bien equipada. Su ubicación es ideal si se busca un lugar tranquilo y rodeado de naturaleza, y su cercanía con Playa Callejones es un plus! Excelente playa, pocas persona y perfecta para ir con niños. Se puede llegar en un automóvil, pero en 4x4 definitivamente se aprovecha más la zona. Si van a llevar su propia comida, deben tomar en cuenta que los supermercados más grandes se encuentran a unos 30-40 minutos manejando, pero aún así los paisajes de Guanacaste lo valen! Muchas gracias Kaethe y Miguel! Esperamos volver pronto!

We had the best time at Kaethe's place!  The house is in a fantastic location, thoughtfully designed, super comfortable (modern conveniences), private, sparkling clean and tranquil.  We had absolutely everything we needed and honestly it was hard to tear ourselves away to go exploring.  Loved hanging out on the porch and swimming in the perfect pool.  The modern kitchen and outdoor shower were great (and loved the tile in the bathrooms).  There's even a fantastic restaurant a couple of doors down --  Bar Latino -- fabulous to walk down the block and have the most delicious margaritas and patecones. .We were close to a bunch of beaches ( Playa Negra nearby is great) and good restaurants, but because I really needed to decompress it was awesome to hang at the house.   I don't know if it was a fluke, but there were zero mosquitos around and we even saw a family of howler monkeys in the guanacaste tree! Highly recommend, can't wait to go back.

Paola! What a pleasure to know that the relaxation and enjoyment I get from coming to Campo de Sueños can also be felt by others who come. You were such wonderful guests! Thanks for leaving the house so tidy &  thanks for choosing our place for your special time away. Hope to see you again! 😉

Great house & pool with all the amenities. It is close to some awesome beaches. Kaethe & Miguel we’re very east to deal with and attentive. Bar Latinos (casual) was just next door. Be sure to check out Play Negra Hotel, Playa Negra Cafe, Corazon’s coffee and Villa Deevena (fancy dinner) - all awesome restos and within minutes!

Excellent location, very comfortable place to relax

Excelente ubicación, lugar muy confortable para relajarse

Muchas Gracias, Jonathan! Come again, anytime! Pura Vida. Kaethe

When we walked in, the place was super clean and ready for guests. Also outside you can expect to see some cool animals! We saw some monkeys and a quetzal I believe! Definitely recommend her place!

Excellent place, excellent choice, close to many beaches and services

Excelente lugar excelente opción cerca de muchas playas y servicios

Great place and location close to los pargos and Playa Negra.  Restaurants close by.  Bedroom AC and bathrooms  were good.  Living room gets a little warm though there are fans to cool down.

Kaethe and Miguel were extremely attentive. The house was absolutely wonderful. It’s a great location and a great area of Costa Rica. We had a wonderful time and would definitely suggest others stay here too!

It was an absolute pleasure to host you all. We’re so happy you were able to relax and enjoy and thanks so much for leaving a lovely review! Come again, anytime. 🙂

We loved staying at Campo de Sueños! The house was a lovely home base after a day at the beach. The pool was a great place to cool off and we saw so many monkeys while swimming and lounging! The kitchen is well stocked and while only the bedrooms have AC the entire space was really comfortable. Kaethe’s suggestions were also great. We loved eating at Restaurante Latino down the street (fish ceviche, patacones and cocktails were great), getting the Sunday BBQ at corazón coffee, la flaca, café la ventana and il rustico!

This house is great! Kaethe and Miguel made everything easy and welcoming. The kitchen is really well equipped and functional. WiFi was excellent. Pool, lounge chairs, beach towels, shady trees with howler monkeys, everything our family needed to have fun, be comfortable and unwind. Bonus that Playa Negra is a five minute drive and Restaurante Latino is a two minute walk. Great place, highly recommend to families and small groups of friends.

All the spaces of the house are very comfortable, the pool is perfect, and it is located in a good area to rest and then enjoy the nearby beaches! Recommended!

Todos los espacios de la casa son muy cómodos, la piscina perfecta, y se encuentra en una buena zona para descansar y luego disfrutar de las playas cercanas! Recomendado!

Thanks, Mauricio! I’m glad it worked out and that you had fun in the area. It’s a good spot! Come again!

Very nice place, and a very strategic area to find yourself and visit the best beaches in the country

Muy lindo el lugar, y una zona muy estratégica para ubicarse y visitar las mejores playas del país

This house is amazing. Very close to the beach and ease of access to all beaches in the area. Everything was super clean and looked even better than the pics. I will definitely be back !

Hi Jorge! I’m so happy you found the peace, access, relaxation and enjoyment you were looking for! It was a pleasure to host you. You’re welcome back any time!

It's a special place. We truly enjoyed our time there. All concerns where addressed ( we had some issues with ants). There are great restaurants in the local community and many local beaches that are easily accessible, via a short car ride. It's the perfect place if you want to get away from all the tourist traps and just enjoy the gold coast of Costa Rica. Pura Vida.

our stay in the house was wonderful. My family and I were very happy with everything! Miguel was a very good and communicative person. I would really recommend this place to any family..  Thanks Kaethe!! Pura vida!!

Kaethe's place was just what my family and I needed this summer vacation. We all had loads of fun at her place and the nearby beaches. The beach was definitely a surprise. It was beyond what we expected. Kids had fun at the rock pools. We snorkeled and saw fish of all colors and types. After our visit, Callejones is now one of our favorite spots in Guanacaste. We will definitely visit back. When we got there, my wife and I commented on two things, like first impressions. 1. No AC in the living room 2. We wished the TV room was a bit comfier as we love to sit down and enjoy a glass of wine after we put the kids to sleep. At the end of every day, we were so exhausted we didn't have time for TV - sleep was a priority. But it would be nice to have A/C in the living room, especially when we were cooking inside, as it can get hot, even with all the windows open. Other than that, it is just what we needed. The pool area was our favorite. I love the decoration, and our kids had a blast there - so did the adults. BBQ worked great; we cooked a few meals there. I love to cook and have the pool nearby. It is fun to be with the family and be able to bbq at the same time. The internet speed and coverage were just what we needed. We could work, take calls, and there was still enough bandwidth for the kids to watch Netflix. Once again, thank you for everything!

Daniel, You’re so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m really happy you discovered the magic of Playa Callejones! Its such a special, private place and so few people know about it.  I hope to be able to add AC to the the living room this year. It’s not always that warm! Again, thanks for sharing your impressions and it was a real pleasure hosting you and your family. Also, many thanks for prompting our upgrade of the bandwidth. Others are now enjoying our improved connectivity! Cheers and come again! Kaethe

Very nice house,   you will not be disappointed to stay there.

We had an amazing weekend, the place has a very good location. And the house is beautiful, it has everything you need. Would we definitely love to return.

Tuvimos un fin de semana increíble, el alojamiento tiene una muy buena ubicación. Y la casa es hermosa, tiene todo lo necesario. Definitivamente nos encantaría volver.

Thank you Alee, for taking the time to share your good impressions about the house! We’re so happy you and your friends found us and enjoyed your time at Campo de Sueños. Please stay safe and come again when you need some more  privacy, tranquility and a cool swim. :) Lovely to host you all!

The stay at Kaethe's house was very pleasant. Great communication with Miguel, and he showed up to provide help very quickly with any necessary situation that arose. A great place to relax surrounded by nature and wildlife. Definitely a great place to disconnect from the world and enjoy its proximity to many beaches, restaurants, and places to visit. Definitely recommended!

Jose! We’re so pleased you found Campo de Sueños peaceful, and conveniently accessible to beaches and food as these are also the things we love most about it! Disconnection and rest are so important these days. It was a pleasure to host you all. Please look us up again! Kind Regards and Stay Safe, Kaethe and Miguel

It's a dream place. It has all the amenities one needs, the spectacular pool, the super spacious rooms, the impeccable bathrooms, the huge living room, they have board games, a kitchen for legitimate chefs. The best place you can get to go for a dream vacation. The host and Miguel are super attentive to all the details so that one is not missing anything.

Es un lugar soñado. Cuenta con todas las comodidades que uno necesita, la piscina espectacular, la casa súper amplia, los cuartos increíbles, los baños impecables, la sala de estar enorme, tienen juegos de mesa, una cocina para legítimos chefs. El mejor lugar que pueden conseguir para ir a pasar unas vacaciones de ensueño. La anfitriona y Miguel son súper atentos a todos los detalles para que a uno no le falte nada.

Marco!  Thank you so much for sharing your good feelings about Campo de Sueños! You are so generous!! The renovation of the house, grounds and the planning and building of the new pool was a labor of love for me and I had the best team, from the architect to the builders, the woodworkers and the painters, to the landscapers and finally Miguel, our amazing property manager. I couldn't be more grateful. So, hearing that it works and guests like you can can feel the magic of the place and enjoy the peace (especially after what we've all been through this year) is so satisfying! Thank you for coming! Come anytime. Pura Vida, Kaethe

We enjoyed Kaethe's home immensely! Having a pool to enjoy and cool off in was so important to us and we loved every minute of it. We were blessed enough to be able to spend 2 months here and loved the location. There are several small markets close by and for larger shopping traveling to Tamarindo or Santa Cruz is a nice 35 minute drive. We loved the fact that a fish truck came by once a week, a German pastry truck comes by twice and week and have wonderful breads, bagels, desserts, bratwurst, cinnamon rolls, etc. (this was by far my favorite truck! :)) and a truck comes by as needed selling fruits and veggies (you can message in WhatsApp any of these folks to coordinate day\time, as needed). Howler monkeys come by to hang out in the trees a couple times a week and one can never tire of that! We often had dinner on the patio watching them and it was quite entertaining. There is an iguana that hangs out in one of the trees on the property and every now and then he'd venture over to the hibiscus bushes to eat some of the greens and flowers. Oh, and the birds! The wildlife and nature here are incredible. Hummingbirds flitted about the shrubs several times a day. I think we saw at least 3 different types of them. We frequented Latino's restaurant right down the street within walking distance. My favorite was the camerones (shrimp) burrito. It was SO good. We tried several different dishes there and were never disappointed. We discovered Corazon Coffee roasters about 3 miles from the house and discovered that they do a barbecue on Sunday afternoons but you need to get on a WhatsApp list (stop by the cafe and let them know you are interested in the bbq) and you will get a message on Friday to place your order for takeout or make a reservation for dine in. We did this every Sunday once we found out about it and it was a great time and SO delicious! We always got the pork ribs with fries, salad and of course, homemade dessert. We highly recommend the lemon meringue pie. It is the best I've ever had!! If you are looking for a spacious, comfortable, convenient place to stay, look no further! With 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, washer and dryer and many other handy amenities, you can't go wrong...oh, and the pool! Every morning we sat by the pool on the lounge chairs sipping our coffee, watching the birds and just enjoying the beautiful weather and sounds of nature. It was truly an amazing experience and we can't say enough about it. Pura Vida!

Thank you both so much for your generous review and a lot of this great info is definitely going in our house document! Having Karen and Matt at Campos de Sueños was like having testers for your product who become early adopters, then co marketers, then friends!!! All I can say is they were very very tidy, environmentally conscientious, quiet, private, self sufficient, fun, generous of spirit, and communicative in ways that helped me make small tweak improvements for future guests in ways that were deeply appreciated. I truly hope to see both round these parts again. With respect, Pura Vida, Kaethe

This property had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The pool is always the right temperature and plenty of sunshine. There is restaurant 1 minute walk away that has wonderful food. There is plenty of other restaurants within a short drive. The caretaker Miguel was perfect and quick to give information on the surrounding area and bread and fish trucks that come through the neighborhood. Stop looking and book this place you will not regret it!

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa de Sueños. The path is in very good condition (it is not paved from the village of Paraíso, but it is a short distance to the house). The instructions for entering the house were also very clear (“self-service” type). When we arrived in the afternoon we were greeted by a large group of congos monkeys that were in the trees of the property. We loved having so much space to walk and trees around the house. The house is beautiful (very comfortable and safe as well) and is very close to several beautiful beaches, such as Junquillal and Playa Blanca. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. We are definitely coming back to Casa de Sueños. Many thanks, Kaethe and Brenda!

Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía en Casa de Sueños. El camino está en muy buen estado (no está asfaltado a partir del pueblo de Paraíso, pero es poca distancia hasta la casa). Las instrucciones para entrar a la casa también fueron muy claras (tipo "self-service"). Cuando llegamos en la tarde nos recibió un grupo grande de monos congos que estaban en los árboles de la propiedad. Nos encantó tener tanto espacio para caminar y árboles alrededor de la casa. La casa es hermosa (muy cómoda y segura también) y está muy cerca de varias playas preciosas, como Junquillal y Playa Blanca. La cocina está perfectamente equipada. Definitivamente volveremos a Casa de Sueños. Muchas gracias, Kaethe y Brenda!

Kaethe's house is very comfortable, with all the comforts to have a good time. Very spacious, very good pool and terrace and a 5 min drive to the beach.

La casa de Kaethe es muy cómoda, con todas comodidades para pasarla bien. Muy espaciosa, muy buena piscina y terraza y a 5 min en carro de la playa.

Thank you Kaethe and Brenda. I definitely will go back. We loved the house, location, house and place tips, and extra touches! The house has more than we expected, we were even able to bake a cake!!! Brenda (house manager) was always available, and solve a problem we had with the A/C right away! A 10 for the beach towels, they look little blankets, so confortable! Thank you for everything! Gaby.

Thank you Gaby for your very generous feedback. Glad you liked the Turkish cotton hammam towels. Lightweight and comfortable, I agree. We’d love to have you again if you ever want to come back to the area to relax.  It was a pleasure to host you. Take care! Kaethe
