We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home with our family. We were truly delighted with all the comforts and amenities the house has to offer. It has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful few days, relax, take in the breathtaking views of the beach, and make the most of the entertainment and activities available at the property. The pool was absolutely amazing, and we especially enjoyed the barbecue area. Everything exceeded our expectations and made our stay truly special. The owners were incredibly attentive and always available to help with anything we needed, which made us feel very welcomed and well taken care of. We are extremely happy to have had the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place. We are leaving with wonderful memories and a grateful heart. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway with family.

We had a wonderful time in the peaceful privacy of this beach house. The beach is steps away from the house which we had all to ourselves a majority of the time. Not another soul to be seen. The current of the ocean was pretty strong so just be aware. The dirt road does run fairly close to the house so you’re able to wave to the occasional passerby and could see right through into the kitchen. Not a big deal for us. Hot during the day but the breeze was wonderful with all open windows, AC worked great at night. Our last day there was a very strong thunder storm that knocked out our power. Lightening just yards away from the house! We tried waiting for the power to return but decided at 8pm to find a place closer to the airport after about 5-6 hrs no power. I believe these things come with the territory. It’s the trade off for being fairly remote and having a whole beach to yourself! Marianna encouraged us to wait it out and was very responsive the whole time. Thank you!

We really enjoyed staying here, while the house was a few miles from town Mariana provided us with bikes and also contacts for transportation and food delivery, The house was beautiful and looked even nicer than in the pictures, as well as it being a great location on the beach. The housekeeper was there to help us anytime we needed it and everyone was very helpful.

Had a lovely stay. Mariana was very responsive and recommended a couple of things to do and eat around the area. The place is your private little oasis. Did not want to leave.

I’ve fallen absolutely in love with this place. Not just Playa Palo Seco, but THIS home. It was perfect in every way possible. Semi-private; no crowds on the beach. The housekeeper was super helpful and the host was very responsive. We had some minor maintenance issues pop up, but they had workers visit very quickly to address so that it was no inconvenience. They provided fruit. The pool had floatation devices for the kids. The air conditioning was cold. It’s actually even better than the pictures appear online. We got to feed 12 monkeys on our first morning there and it was a dream come true for our children. I cannot wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! The views are remarkable- unobstructed ocean views, and the mangrove in the back was also really cool! Marina helped us set up a boat tour of the mangrove, and they picked us up right from the dock in the backyard. A group of monkeys came to hang out in the trees in the back! There were iguanas around the property, and lots of cool birds! The kids loved it!! The property is a bit remote, off a dirt road, but still close enough to restaurants and grocery stores! The trade-off for the privacy and views was well worth it for us. The kids had a blast going from the beach to the pool and then playing games on the pool table. While we were there, the waves were a bit large, and the currents were strong, so we had to make sure the kids didn't go out too far and kept adults with them the whole time. Not sure how typical that is for the area. It was a really magical and relaxing few days. We would definitely come back again!

Great location if you are looking to a little ways away from all the busy areas. There was an onsite caretaker that was helpful when we had questions otherwise you had no idea they were there. We always felt safe. The property was as described and we had the beach all to ourselves. The various beach items, chairs, umbrella, and boogie board was great and very helpful in us enjoying our stay. The iguanas and crabs were around daily and we were able to see the monkeys one day as well. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying there again if we were in the area in the future.

A true slice of paradise! You can’t beat the location, with its gorgeous ocean views, secluded beach, and amazing wildlife (we even had a visit from capuchin monkeys!). The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked, and Mariana is a responsive host who helped us book great local tours. A heads up: The house is showing some wear and tear. We dealt with a few inconvenient plumbing issues (a septic smell, low shower pressure, and a flooded bathroom that required maintenance during our stay). You’ll also need to keep food sealed in ziplocks/the fridge to keep the ants and geckos away. Despite the home's hiccups, the spectacular location makes it entirely worth it.
