Anna’s home is a perfect party destination for a group of 8! We had an epic time. Olga is a blessing and a great cook! All of your fishing and other excursions can be planned right at Los Suenos marina! Do bring an ID you’re comfortable leaving with security. They give it back every time you leave and open 24 hours!

Family Getaway My adult family of 7 stayed at Casa Caracola for 7 days. We had plenty of space. The surroundings were lush and views were amazing. Walk down to the beach was 100 steps and we were alone most of the time. We had Olga cook for us 3 nights and loved her traditional Costa Rican meal the most. This house is in an exclusive location with easy access to Los Suenos for golf, fishing, and dining. Jacob is 10 minutes. Anna was very attentive to all of our needs. Will stay here again soon.

This is a gorgeous private beach that we practically lived in during our stay. Olga cooked numerous meals so we could enjoy our stay even more, and she was fabulous! Anna was quick to respond and offered great contacts for any needs we had! Evening sunsets on the outdoor deck with dinner from Olga will be most memorable. We felt safe and comfortable in the beautiful home! Thank you for the amazing visit!

Our stay at Anna’s house in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible—truly one of those places you don’t want to leave. The home itself is stunning, with an open dining area that perfectly captures the breathtaking sunset views each evening. The layout is ideal for families or groups, with private suites that give everyone their own space while still feeling connected. The beach access is unbeatable—just steps away and absolutely beautiful. We felt safe and the location couldn’t be more convenient. It’s just a quick 15-minute golf cart ride to the marina. One of the highlights of our trip was Olga, who cooked for us five nights. Every meal was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. She was warm, professional, and a joy to have around. Anna was a fantastic host from start to finish. She was quick to respond to all our questions. If you are looking for the perfect spot, book this house!

We loved our stay at Anna’s beautiful house. The listing covered everything and the location was fantastic. We wanted a peaceful vacation away from crowds and busyness, this was everything we could ask for. The beach is very private and gorgeous, we spent every day in the water there and the few people we ran into within the small community were very nice. There is a small pool that is equally beautiful and rarely has anyone in it, we unfortunately didn’t even use it due to wanting to be in the ocean the whole time. Each room has a drying rack which was so helpful as lots of towels and suits being used daily. The location feels private while still close to necessities. We enjoyed the wildlife there too, watched the macaws every evening. Anna was very responsive and helpful, even told us about a lunar eclipse happening on our last night there which we enjoyed from the rooftop terrace. We had a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to go again.

Anna's place is truly outstanding. The moment you walk in and see the view of the pristine bay, lapping waves, rainforest and luxurious lanai with outdoor dining you are sold. The kitchen is well stocked with every dish, etc. you could want. Every bedroom is spacious with its own large bathroom and closet. Just a few paces below the home is a private pool that never had anyone in it for the week we were there, besides ourselves. A driveway slopes down and voila! You are at the most serene, peaceful beach where you can grab a few of Anna's beach chairs and spend the day. The kids loved the breaking waves and tidepools and the adults loved the snorkeling and swimming. Parrots and butterflies fly above you and life is great just staying wthin the compound. The biggest plus we did was take Anna's advice and hire Olga the chef/house keeper. We started out with a couple dinners and soon realized she made our entire vacation with her fabulous appetizers, dinners and clean up. Bravo Olga

Paradise Found! This spot is a gem, situated on a private beach in a small, secure community. If you want to book it like a pro, include having their local chef Olga in your stay. Your meals will be prepared, groceries shopped for, the works. We left feeling refreshed-and did not want to leave. We traveled with five teenagers, all of us are happy!
