3BR villa in Playa Grande

Villa Guanacaste, zen, pool, beach, enjoy! - Villas for Rent in Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We loved the house and the location of the villa! We stayed for 1 month and would have stayed even longer! Stéphanie and David were impeccable hosts, always there to help us, with instant responses, and so kind! I would 100% the villa, unforgettable memories and an exceptional place!

Nous avons adoré le logement et l’emplacement de la Villa! Nous sommes restés 1 mois et nous en aurions pris encore plus! Stéphanie et David on été des hôtes impeccables, toujours là pour venir nous aider, réponse instantanée et tellement gentil! Je recommande à 100% la villa, des souvenirs memorables et un endroit exceptionnel!

The place is very spacious and nice. The outdoor area also offers plenty of space and opportunities for a BBQ and for relaxing. Plenty of bath and shower towels as well as shampoo are provided. The communication that took place via Stéphanie during the stay was also excellent.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig und schön. Auch der Aussenbereich bietet viel Platz und Möglichkeiten für ein BBQ und zum Entspannen. Es werden genug Bade- und Duschtücher sowie Shampoo zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Kommunikation, die während des Aufwnthalts über Stéphanie lief, war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet.

A huge thank you to our host Stéphanie for this incredible stay! From the moment we arrived, Stéphanie and her partner took care of us in a way we have rarely experienced. The house is simply beautiful, perfectly maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a memorable vacation. Their kindness, availability, and attention to detail made all the difference. They did everything possible to make us feel at home and to make our stay exceptional from start to finish. As if our trip wasn't already memorable enough, we also experienced some extraordinary events: the passage of Tropical Storm Cristina on Sunday evening and Monday, as well as a 5.1 magnitude earthquake last night! Despite these unusual situations, Stéphanie remained present, reassuring, and attentive, which allowed us to get through these moments with confidence.

Un immense merci à notre hôte Stéphanie pour cet incroyable séjour! Dès notre arrivée, Stéphanie et son conjoint ont pris soin de nous comme rarement nous l’avons vécu. La maison est tout simplement magnifique, parfaitement entretenue et dotée de tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour passer des vacances mémorables. Leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité et leur souci du détail ont fait toute la différence. Ils ont tout mis en œuvre pour que nous nous sentions chez nous et pour rendre notre séjour exceptionnel du début à la fin. Comme si notre voyage n’était pas déjà assez mémorable, nous avons également vécu des événements hors du commun : le passage de la tempête tropicale Cristina dimanche soir et lundi, ainsi qu’un tremblement de terre de magnitude 5,1 hier soir! Malgré ces situations inhabituelles, Stéphanie est demeurée présente, rassurante et attentionnée, ce qui nous a permis de traverser ces moments en toute confiance.

This villa is great. Quiet location and a few meters down at the main road is a good restaurant. The accomodation offers a lot of privacy and good space. We loved the pool and the garden with a few animals coming to visit during the day - you can hear howler monkeys sometimes and spot iguanas often. The communication was easy and uncomplicated. In the dry season the area can have some issues with water supply, but Melanie and the team try to manage as good as possible (thankfully we were not affected).

Thank you so much Ken for taking care of our villa.  We are happy you had a great time with your partner.  You are welcome anytimes, hopefully you are safe back home.  Ken was a #1 guest, I highly recommand him and his partner.

Amazing stay! Very cute neighbourhood. Central location to many different beaches and amenities. Love our stay, will return!

Thank you so much Stacey for taking care of our house.  You are welcome any time.  Thank you for your private message.  I hope you had a safe return home.

What a pleasure to stay at Melanie’s Place, we are already working on plans to return. We are two retired couples from Canada, we stayed for 6 nights - but could have happily stayed longer. The place was as pictured and described, it was clean and we could several fresh fruits left on the kitchen table to enjoy. The setting feels like you’re in a garden. The mattresses were soft and comfortable. Stephanie was very helpful and responded quickly to all our questions and resolved all our issues as she is very close by. Between the pool and air conditioning, we were able to stay cool even on very hot days. There are no nearby groceries stores (we went to Hausas), and it’s a short drive to the beach. There are restaurants and a bakery within walking distance. We would highly recommend this great villa, an exceptional value for us.

Thanks for staying at our villa.  We’re glad to hear you had a nice time.  We will be happy to host you anytime.  Hope you had a safe flight home.  Thanks for taking care of our home.  Gold travelers!!

We had a great stay at Villa Guanacaste. Mélanie was responsive and helpful. The space is beautiful, and a convenient 5-minute drive to gorgeous Playa Grande beach. A couple downsides: there was no hot water throughout our stay and we had to take cold showers as a result. We also had no running water for 2 days, which meant we did not have drinking water and could not cook our meals or shower. We were told this was a city issue. The host was very apologetic (and we understand this was out of their control) and brought us bottled jugs of water, which we appreciated. Overall, we recommend Villa Guanacaste for your Playa Grande trip!

Bonjour Joana, merci d’avoir séjourné à la villa.  Je suis vraiment désolée que vous ayez eu que de l’eau froide pour votre séjour.  Je n’ai jamais reçu de message de votre part ou de mes gestionnaires comme quoi il y avait ce problème.  Je viens moi-même d’arriver à ma maison au Costa Rica et j’ai tout de suite constaté qu’il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude.  J’ai fait réparer car le chauffe-eau était effectivement brisé.  J’aurais souhaité le savoir pour pouvoir le faire réparer immédiatement.   J’espère que vous avez pu passer de bons moments au Costa Rica malgré la coupure d’eau que la ville a fait et le manque d’eau chaude.

Melanie's place was the perfect space for our family vacation! There was space for everyone to have there own private sleeping areas as well as many common areas for people to enjoy. There was a living room, pool area, outside spacious table, and a full mezzanine over the guest house. We were 6 adults in total and everyone had plenty of room. We would not hesitate to reccomend this place and would love to stay here again. The host was amazing. They gave great local reccomendations and even was flexible on an early check in to drop our bags off as we had an early flight in. Thank you for the most amazing vacation space! 💗 -Luisa

You are more than welcome and we would love to have you with your group as guests anytime.  I hope you had a safe travel back home.

We had a lovely time. The swimming pool and outdoor facilities were very good.

Nous avons passé un beau séjour. La piscine et les installations extérieures étaient très bien.

Merci Laurie d'voir pris le temps de nous écrire des commentaires public et privé.  Nous sommes ravies que vous ayez passé du bon temps au Costa Rica.  Nous avons remplacé suite à votre suggestion les 2 poêles et les verres en vitre.  Vous serez toujours la bienvenue avec votre groupe.  En espérant que vous ayez fait un bon voyage de retour.  Mélanie

Melanie's property was exactly what we were looking for this vacation. The house was as described and worked well for us. We planned on cooking most of our meals at the house and the kitchen was sufficently equipped for easy, basic meals. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well when we needed it. The pool area was lovely and the outside eating area was perfect for enjoying our meals. the rooftop terrace was covered and a nice place to read or hangout as it has a lot of comfortable seating. There was a couple restaurants within close walking distance and many beaches were a short drive away. The house felt very secure and private as it had a gated wall around it and you needed a key to get in. Overall, we had a great time and the house suited our needs in every way.

Was an excellent Host. Really enjoyed everything about the place and location. Lots of great restaurants and beach is phenomenal 100% recommend, 5 Star!

Magical 3-Month Stay! Mélanie's place exceeded every expectation. Perfect location—close to everything yet beautifully private. The pool was our daily sanctuary, but the real magic was the wildlife! Howler monkeys swinging through backyard trees and my daughter's excitement spotting iguanas created unforgettable memories. Marie and David were exceptional hosts as well—always available when needed but never intrusive, genuinely caring and helpful. This isn't just accommodation; it's paradise offering both adventure and tranquility. Wholeheartedly recommend this magical place to anyone visiting Playa Grande!

We spent a month in this beautiful property. It is in a great location for exploring the area, beach time, walking to restaurants, and access to several grocery stores and local farm stands. We were sad to leave.

20 min walk to beach was great place to stay with friends in Playa Grande.

Stephanie was such a great host ! We felt very safe and the place was as described. Great location, we were able to reach so many excursions from the Airbnb. 10/10 recommend !

Absolutely wonderful stay! I visited with a few of my college friends, and everything was seamless and smooth from start to finish. The place was picturesque in every way—beautiful, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was also perfectly located, close enough to the beach and nearby restaurants to make everything convenient and hassle-free. The host was outstanding in communication, always responsive and helpful, ensuring that we never had any lingering, unanswered questions. Overall, a flawless experience—I highly recommend it!

How to describe our experience at Villa Guanacaste in one word: WOW. Before we left, Melanie was extremely kind and answered our questions. She gave us plenty of practical and relevant information. She and her husband were very responsive to our questions. When we arrived, we were fortunate to meet Stéphanie who was also able to advise us on our stay. The backyard was beautiful with the pool, tiki bar, outdoor space and vegetation. The interior was very clean and contained everything you needed for family fun. When we left, Stephanie took the time to come and say goodbye to us. Whether before our arrival, on arrival or departure (not to mention the special touches), everything was perfect! We felt comfortable in a beautiful setting. Thank you for everything The Champagne Family

Comment décrire notre expérience à la Villa Guanacaste en un seul mot: WOW. Avant notre départ, Mélanie a eu l’extrême gentillesse de répondre à nos questions. Elle nous a donné plein d’informations pratiques et pertinentes. Elle et son mari ont été très réactifs face à nos questions. À notre arrivée, nous avons eu le bonheur de rencontrer Stéphanie qui a également su nous conseiller sur notre séjour. La cours arrière était magnifique avec la piscine, le tiki bar, l’espace extérieur aménagé et la végétation. L’intérieur était très propre et contenait tout ce dont on avait besoin pour passer du bon temps en famille. À notre départ, Stéphanie a pris le temps de venir nous saluer. Que ce soit avant notre arrivée, à notre arrivée ou au départ (sans oublier les petites attentions), tout était parfait! Nous nous sommes sentis à l’aise dans un bel environnement. Merci pour tout La famille Champagne

Ça a été un réel plaisir d'échanger avec toi pour faire en sorte que tu aies une belle expérience au Costa Rica. Je suis heureuse de lire que ta famille et toi avez eu un beau séjour.  Vous êtes toujours les bienvenus.  Vous êtes des clients idéals!  Je transmets tes commentaires à Stéphanie et David.  Bon retour au Québec

Beautiful place, very friendly villa, lots of space, you feel at home! The pool and outdoor garden made all the difference! Don't hesitate to rent this villa, it's impossible for you to be disappointed. Thanks to Stéphanie and David, very friendly and extremely responsive hosts. See you in 😉🌞

Endroit magnifique, villa très conviviale, beaucoup d'espace, on se sent à la maison! La piscine et le jardin extérieur ont fait toute une différence! N'hésitez pas à louer cette villa, impossible que vous soyez déçu. Merci à Stéphanie et David, dès hôtes très sympathiques et extrêmement réactifs. À bientôt 😉🌞

As advertised. Lots of space and very private. The local property manager was great. We also found a number of very good restaurants that were close by.

Our family stayed at Melanie’s Villa following Christmas had a wonderful time! The villa itself is as described. Modern and well appointed. It has a lots of windows to let the sunshine in. It’s well laid out and has plenty of space for six people to enjoy themselves and feel comfortable. There are nice customizations to the property- like a rooftop lounge, and separate tiki bar and full dining area outside. All lovely additions to the property. We really enjoyed the pool, which is necessary in the Costa Rican climate. It’s private and safe and felt very comfortable at the property. Playa Grande itself is a quiet surf town with a laid back vibe. We loved everything about our time at Villa Guanacaste. Melanie was also very friendly and responsive and offered many helpful tips before our stay. Thanks again - we can’t wait to come back 😊

We had a wonderful week in Villa Guanacaste. Stephanie was the perfect host during our week and had great suggestions for local attractions and places to eat and quickly responded when we had a question. The villa was stunning and we loved the swimming pool and the proximity to the beach. It was the perfect break and made our Christmas very special.

Best place to stay , lovely accommodations,  such a comfortable setting. Pool was a treat! House is very close to beach, and stores restaurants and bakery. Can’t wait to come back!

Mélanie’s place was just as described and we enjoyed our stay! We appreciated the communication and flexibility regarding early arrival and late check-out. The house was beautiful and had a lot of space to accommodate a larger group of people. I recommended this place and would stay here again!

Melanie’s place was great. It had everything we needed!!!

It was a beautiful place, plenty of room and a nice private location! Very comfortable and we felt right at home.

Thank you Andrea, you are welcome any time. Your group was respectfull and we really appreciate it. Hope you had a safe trip back home, Mélanie and the Guanacaste team

Exceptional place to stay, once you buy all your food, you can avoid leaving. Felt right at home. The natural surrounding are amazing. Such a modern and fun place to stay and relax. Definitely recommend!

The house is beautiful and the common spaces even more. The location is perfect. I hope to be back very soon

La casa es hermosa y los espacios comunes aún más. La ubicación es perfecta. Espero volver muy pronto

Melanie’s place was exactly what are group needed. It was peaceful, great accommodations, and great location to the beach, restaurants, and near Tamarindo so you can enjoy that beach and restaurants as well. Definitely, definitely rent this place.

Thank you Adel, you are welcome any time.  Clients like you and your group aure #1 clients!

super responsive host, addressed anything we had questions about promptly. I highly recommend

Great please to stay, perfect for families

Wonderful villa! Our stay was outstanding! I would go back tomorrow!!!

Villa merveilleuse! Notre séjour y a été exceptionnel! J'y retournerais demain!!!

Playa Grande remains one of our favorite places in Costa Rica.  This place is very intimate and tranquil.  Perfect location.  A few minutes to the beach by car.  Lots of restaurants nearby. Amazing beach.

Playa Grande demeure un de nos endroits préféré au Costa Rica.  Cet endroit est très intime et tranquille.  Parfaite localisation.  Quelques minutes de la plage en voiture.  Pleins de restaurants à proximité.  Plage incroyable.

Loved the place. Will totally stay here again. Loved the rain, the pool, the space. So much space and lots of areas to hangout.  totally loved it. Loved being able to grill on charcoal as well.  Both gas and charcoal grills were available.

Merci Edward d'avoir ris soin de notre villa et je suis très heureuse que vous avez pu profiter de la villa.  Vous êtes les bienvenus n'importe quand.

We rented this villa for a month, so let’s start with some positives. Marie Anne, the local host was so responsive, pleasant and really lovely. She was always helpful with our many concerns that arose, and worked hard to make us comfortable with all the issues. The location is easy to access, we felt very comfortable in the area, and it is walkable to the beach/restaurants. We arrived on a very hot day to a quite dusty villa that felt like it hadn’t been occupied in months. Cobwebs and dead bugs everywhere and with broken AC in the main area. We woke up several times with no AC. The floor board to the sleeping loft had no screws securing it and was unstable. The sleeping loft was especially hot when the AC goes out as it’s shared with the kitchen and main space. Pool is much smaller than pictures represent. I had to clean everything before use. We ended up staying at a resort and another Airbnb and maybe slept here 40% of our stay. It became just a place to store our stuff.

Hello Jennifer, I'm Mathieu, Melanie's husband and co-host. We always appreciate constructive feedback. However we have to reply to some of your comments since it is really not what we have been hearing from our guests for the last three years. We are "super host" and we take real pride in keeping a high standard. To begin with, there was a guest just before you that gave us a 5 stars review, and the cleaning was done and reviewed the day you arrived. We don't see how it could be possible that our Villa felt like it was unoccupied in months and dusty, we never heard that before. Our cleaning crew is one of the best. It is Marie-Anne, whom you liked very much, that took care of it with her team. One of the 3 AC on the property had problems, we are sorry about that, those things unfortunately happen, and our manager took care of it very efficiently. The 2 other ACs that are in the 2 closed bedrooms, were perfectly functioning so you had 2 good options. The bedroom in the villa's second building has a queen size bed with a full queen size rolling pocket bed (ref picture 17) so the 4 of you could have sleep there with AC fully working. This second building also has its full bathroom. The pool has a good size. There is no photo shoping on any of the pictures. There are a lot of pictures and one of them was taken by a drone and you can see the exact real size of the pool (pictures 20,24). It is a bit sad because your review has an impact on our ranking and we don't feel that it is a justified feedback. Best regards

My stay at Villa Guanacaste was worth the wait -- it is often in high demand and unavailable. It is wonderfully private, modern and tranquil, while being close to beaches of Guanacaste as well as small towns, shops and nightlife. Having a car helped, especially for traveling to some of the other attractions in the area. Not sure what to say about the place -- it was just so nice. The buildings and amenities were all very modern, clean and uncluttered. Wi-Fi, air conditioning and hot water were all reliably present. It got a bit warm during the day, but the A/C and pool were anecdotes to that. The kitchen was well supplied and the pool had inflatables available. The villa provides an abundance of space within a secure walled compound, and you can hear and view the wildlife in the surrounding trees. The local contact was always available and quick to respond to any inquiries. Mélanie is an experienced professional host that you will want to do business with again.

Melanie accommodated us last minute and was very responsive. Her place was beautiful and very peaceful, exactly what we needed! Would definitely go back. We were able to easily walk to a few restaurants, pots and bowls was excellent.

You are more than welcome anytime. I am happy to read you had a good time. Wishing you the best, Mélanie

A fantastic experience . Playa Grande is an amazing place . We preferred to staying in Tamarindo because it was extremely natural and but there were still a choice of fabulous restaurants . The property was spacious and a perfect place to unwind

Rachael, it was a pleasure to have you as a guest! Please come back anytine!

A great option for 2 small families or 2 couples as your really are sleeping in separate buildings that look onto a central pool and social area. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Andrew for your comments.  Thank you for taking care of our villa.  You are welcome anytime!

Overall great experience, house was very nice overall and a great space for hanging out, bbq'ing and just in general living life. Only small thing is the air conditioning in living room can't fully get the main room cold cause it gets a lot of sunlight that heats it up fairly fast.

Thank you Andres for your comments.  Our manager told us how nice people all of your group were.  We really appreciate you taking care of our villa.  You are welcome any time.  Wish you the best.   Mélanie

Villa Guanacaste is a great place to stay in Playa Grande. Private pool, AC, patio with 2 bbqs and a separate building for the other couple in our party was much appreciated. Morning birds and howler monkeys were entertaining. Occasionally Benga the neighbourhood cat would drop by for a visit.

It was such a pleasure to have you as guests.  Our manager told us how wonderful you and your group were.  You are welcome anytime.  You took care of our villa and we’re very grateful for that.  We highly recommend you and your group.

We had an amazing time at Villa Guanacaste - the house is wonderful & in an ideal location; walking distance to some great little restaurants (Pots & Bowls was our favorite) & not far from a little store & beautiful beaches. Melanie was really helpful with booking questions & while we were there Annie the manager was great. We can’t wait to go back!

Villa guanacaste was amazing for our family of 4. The property manager was super responsive. The amenities were terrific. Conveniently located just a mile from the beach and walking distance to many great restaurants and local businesses. We were in the pool every day and it was well cared for during our stay. The villa was 100% walled off an private. Our kids enjoyed aerial silk classes just down the road at the unity center and nearby casa inti was the best restaurant. Lots of options for nearby adventures and overnight excursions to the interior.

Christian and Jennifer, you are welcome anytime, you were amazing guests. Thank you for choosing our villa 🌺🌸☺️. Mélanie

This is a house that is fully stocked for cooking and cloths . It has very comfortable beds. I really liked the privacy of the pool and Villa in general . I recommend the villa 100%.

Esta una una casa que se encuentra completamente equipada para cocinar y paños . Tiene camas muy confortables . Me gusto mucho la privacidad de la piscina y la Villa en general . Recomiendo la villa 100%

Excellent place that really has a very pleasant time, super efficient service and attentive. No hesitation at all.

Excelente lugar de verdad que se pasa un rato muy muy agradable, atención súper eficiente y atenta. No dudo en volver.

Great little pool and landscaping, do be aware that the loft double bed is not in A/C.

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The accommodations were spacious and very comfortable. The host was extremely responsive and available. We did feel the place could have been cleaner. For sure. The posting should be updated to reflect that there is no longer a tv. Although who needs tv when you are in paradise?! Overall a great stay and I would do it again.

Unfortunately I was not able to met Melanie in person, the whole communication was with her property manager Annie who helped us as good as possible. The accommodation during our stay was quite dirty if I would compare it to other airbnbs I have been (bedrooms, sinks, kitchen, etc.) in the last year in CR. An additional point which was a bit annoying for us during our stay was that some pest control guys entered the accommodation without any communication to us and started working with fumigation of the property with chemical gases… Related to all other reviews I believe we had bad luck and hope that other guest will have a more comfortable stay. Neverthless, It is a very nice accommodation and if they could improve the quality of cleaning, which is referred with $160, I would highly recommend this accommodation. Cheers Jan

The Villa is  a wonderful place to stay with your  family. Is a simple 20 minute walk to the beach close to some fine dining.  I love that is kind of reclusive and very private.  Upon our arrival we where welcomed with some local beer and fruits and some groceries witch was very nice.  Our host was always quick to response  and was very accommodating.

Would 100% recommend this beautiful stay, the little touches really went a long way. Thank you for having us!

It was a pleasure hosting you! We are so happy that you had a great time. Please come back any time!

Our family spent a month here to escape the cold winter of Chicago while enjoying some quiet life in Playa Grande. We were greater by monkeys, lizards and beautiful birds everyday while we enjoyed our morning coffee and swim. Close to the beach, WilMart and a few great restaurants, we quickly became a part of the local community here which was the best part.  We’ll miss the sunsets at the beach and star gazing at night on the sun deck.

We are so pleased to read that you had a great time. It was so easy to communicate with you and you are welcome anytime. We recommand you to any host. We wish you a nice flight for going back home.  Mélanie

What a beautiful place! Melanie's place is really perfect ! We had a lovely relaxing time! Very safe! I highly recommend it!!

Quel endroit magnifique! La maison de Mélanie est vraiment parfaite ! Nous avons passé de tres beaux moments de détente! Très sécuritaire! Je vous recommande fortement!!

Melanie’s Villa was as described and very beautiful. Our family had a great time spending time in the Villa, especially the pool. Melanie and her assistant Annie were very responsive in their communication. The area has some great restaurants and it’s a small car ride or bike ride to the beach. The only thing we wish it had was maybe some outdoor string lights to be outside more taking advantage of the warm evenings. If we are ever in Playa Grande we would definitely stay at Melanie’s Villa again.

Thank you Cristian for you coments.  We were happy to have you and your group as our guests.  As we always want to improive the guests's experience at the villa, we already plan to install lights for outdoor living.  That's a great suggestion.  I wish you a great time back in Canada,  Mélanie

What a beautiful, safe space to relax. So close to so many beaches and a really quiet place to unwind. Stunning property! So clean and safe. I did not have any issues with ants because I followed all of Melanie’s instructions!

Thank you for following the rules.  It was lovely to have you as guest.  Our manager said it was cristal clean after you left.  Thank you and I hope you had a great time.  You are welcome anytime.

Place was marvelous great amenities great pool ,host very attentive  would highly recommend this beautiful home

Thank you Larry for choosing our villa.  It was great to have you and your friends as our guests.  You left the place PERFECTLY CLEAN!  I highly recommand you to any host.  Happy new year!

We stayed here for two weeks and loved it. The house is really well designed for a couple or two couples, and the indoor/outdoor areas are perfect for hanging out and cooking/eating together. We were visited by monkeys, lizards, and lots of birds which made the stay super special. The complex where the house is located is really quiet, very well maintained, and nicely located close to town. Playa Grande is a cute, quiet village with a gorgeous beach -- the perfect place to relax and get away.

Thank you Michele for your words.  We are glad you had a wonderful stay.  I am so sorry that it was not perfectly clean: we had 2 employees that came to correct a broken screen and another thing.  While being there, they didn’t leave the place as it is usually.  Unfortunately the cleaning team came before them.  We will correct that.  Also we will had the 2 items you suggested.  Thank you again to help us improve the experience of the clients.  Wishing you the best ☺️🌺

Unfortunately, I was unable to stay, but the communication with Mélanie was excellent and I'm sure I'll try again another time.  I have stayed in the adjacent accommodation and it was outstanding.

Such a lovely private space! Close to a number of great beaches (would definitely recommend renting a car though, it’s quite a long bike ride if you plan to go to Brasilito or Conchal). The pool is lovely and the area feels safe and private. Only downside is the condition of the couch - it’s definitely been through some adventures haha, not in the best condition for clean-freaks.

Thank you for your comments.  I am happy you had a great time.  We will definitely take care of the sofa.  I didn't know that it was in that condition.  I was there in january 2021 and it was perfect.  But since few rentings, there was some people that sadly didn't took care and we were not aware of it.

Spent a lovely week with friends at the Villa Guanacaste

Amazing accommodation 1 minute from a paradisiacal beach. Tidy, clean and well-equipped. It's perfect

Increíble alojamiento a 1 minuto de una playa paradisiaca. Ordenado limpio muy equipado. Es perfecto
