"My husband and I were thinking about moving to Costa Rica and the house was a good place to cook, visit nearby stores and restaurants. We gathered good data and didn’t have to spend a great deal of money to do so. Mel was a great and helpful host!"

"The property was clean, with great scenery. "

"Property would have been perfect if all the windows have screen to allow fresh air in and to avoid mosquitoes from coming in to enjoy a good night sleep. "

"We had a great stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was very gracious in allowing us to hold a small family gathering for a couple of hours in loving memory of my dad, which meant a lot to us. Her kindness and flexibility made our experience even better. I’d definitely stay here again."

"We came for a short 4 day vacation. It was our first time in Costa Rica. The host/homeowners were excellent in describing the property. Communication was good and especially since our flight was delayed. The location was great close to the airport and places to visit. My favorites part was enjoying the patio nightly. We will definitely visit again. "

"Property is as described. It's dated but well cared for. The caretaker is great. PLEASE note. Last few kilometers of road are not paved...we had 4x4's was fine. Closest supermarket is a 40 minute - hour drive. Beach isn't the best for swimming but totally remote and private. We loved this place. "

"BUYER BEWARE No hot water and beach is dirty. I contacted Vacasa before confirming reservation to verify had hot water due to previous review. I was told I would have hot water but never did. The pool water was warmer than the shower. The company was notified as soon as we knew there was no hot water. Beach is very dirty due to ships waiting to get into port and dumping garbage while waiting. We did see monkeys and birds which were beautiful. Sorry for the bad review I tried to work with you."

"Great place in a great location. The views are spectacular. I would stay there again. Hosts were also very responsive and helpful. A knife sharpener would be good to have for the kitchen, as knives were extremely dull; glad I brought my Buck knife. A steamer basket would also be useful for those who prefer to steam the fine produce available."

"Everything was great! Patricia was especially accommodating. The house was GREAT!!"

"This house is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. My family and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. Julio was amazing and very helpful. The dogs were friendly. The only suggestion I have is to have an automatic gate that would help a lot, but overall I recommend a 1000 percent!"

"Everything was perfect for us, it is remote but this is what it makes it an incredible place to stay. Bernardo is an amazing host, very accommodating. It was our first time in Costa Rica. We spend 2 wonderful weeks and looking to come back asap. "
