Gated community*near airport, city, on way to Pacific beaches~Ashiatsu

15 minutes away from airport, 15 minutes away from biggest mall in San Jose, and 2 minutes from the main highway to the pacific side beaches. The host provides access to a 1 hour Ashiatsu deep tissue massage session for 45 USD within the same condominium, or Aromatherapy 40 mins 30 USD, perfect to begin or end your Costa Rica vacations! Ashiatsu is a unique, relaxing, barefoot technique which provides the deepest tissue massage without pain your body can get. The condominium is in a warm climate area, very peaceful neighborhood, with pool, playground, supermarket, restaurants nearby. The location is not within the city, but close enough through the highway. It has the peace of countryside, plus being close to the city! 3 rooms (one bigger than the other ones with bathroom in it, and the second and third rooms a bit smaller with a shared bathroom one step outside of one of them and 5 steps outside the other one), fully equipped kitchen, living room, parking on driveway by door and visitor parking for more cars, terrace, backyard. Air conditioning in principal room plus ceiling fan and ceiling fans in both of the other two rooms.

Made us wait an hour, then gave us a different apartment
We arrived approximately 11:00 pm, tired after a full day of travel. Working through Spanish speaking entry guards, we learned we did not have a place to stay. The process took us almost an hour. We were given a different apartment. It was uninviting and dark. Not enough towels. The top sheet was under a pillow. One of our parties found it on their bed. The other did not and slept without.

Served its purpose
My family and I (party of 8) stayed at this property for one night before flying out from the San Jose Airport. It served it's purposes. The grounds were clean and neat and beautiful views of mountainous range. We enjoyed the pool the morning before check out. Check in was a breeze, and our host (Carlos) responded quickly to any questions we had. Upon arrival, there were still a few crumbs that could have been missed by the clean up crew. But other than that there were sufficient towels provided for us, beds were comfortable, the security staff at the gate were very helpful when needing to call an Uber, and I felt really safe in the gated community. I would recommend as a place to stay for the night if traveling from Arenal or other area and needing to fly out the next day from San Jose Airport.

Safe and convenient
We had an early flight out of SJO and staying here was very convenient for our family of 6. Carlos communicated back quickly with any questions I had. The condo was clean and had a kitchen for use. It was a lovely stay.

Good for a quick night stay. Very short on amenities. Treat it like a hotel stay, and you‘ll be happy.

Friendly and convenient
Carlos and his son welcomed us to the home and were very helpful and friendly. We did struggle to find the home because our gps would not work and my map was from the airport (but we had rented a car and that was a ways away from the airport so my printed directions were of no use). We were so thankful for a kind Tico who drove us to the gate of the development! Be wary of being entirely dependent on gps for navigation & have a backup plan! The home was clean and had everything we needed for a one night stay in San Jose before heading to the west coast. It is right near a highway, so morning transport was a breeze. This home was perfect for us! Thank you Carlos!

We enjoyed our stay at this unit!
Great experience! Owner very nice and fast to answer questions. Beds linens and towels were clean. Very safe gated community. Near activities and airport. A little less equiped than other HomeAway houses/condos that we rented before.

Lovely modern apartment in a gated community
The pool is refreshing and solar heated. It felt great! The apartment has a microwave, toaster oven, full stove/oven, refrigerator - all the modern conveniences one would expect to find in an American kitchen. There are two parking spots that go with the apartment. That was great! They fit compact cars nicely. You could probably park a minivan there, but I'm not sure. There is a small clothesline out back which was very handy for drying wet swimsuits. The bedrooms are spacious. We had 8 people staying there and found it comfortable. I don't think that the photo in the description that shows an alcove with a sleeping area is in this apartment. There are three bedrooms. Two have double beds. One has a double bed and a bunk bed with a trundle bed underneath. It sleeps 10 people. It was about 30 minutes from the Vamos Car Rental / Airport area. It was an easy drive and could be driven in less time if you had a better knowledge of the route. I liked the gated community. We felt secure in a foreign city.

A comfortable house, with a great location.
The house had everything as described. The location was perfect for moving around into San Jose and also ideal for taking off to the coast. The place was safe and it had some stores nearby to buy food and other amenities. Carlos was also very helpful specially with payment options. Will definitely look it up once again when I am back in Costa Rica.

Super séjour
Super appartement de 3 chambres dans une résidence très sécurisée, très propre avec une grande piscine offrant la possibilité de faire le barbecue à proximité. Les voisins sont accueillants et disponibles. L'appartement est très fonctionnel, que ce soit pour des familles (nous étions 2 couples avec enfants, soit 8 personnes), les 3 chambres sont suffisamment grandes pour coucher au moins 9 personnes. La connexion internet est impeccable. Notre seul bémol concerne les ustensiles de cuisine qui sont moindre, mais je pense que ce sera vite résolu. Proche de l'aéroport, notre vol était à 4h30 du matin, Carlos le propriétaire qui est très réactif a été très sympa de nous faire la réservation du taxis. Vraiment un très très bon rapport qualité/prix. Je le recommande, si nous devons revenir au Costa Rica, nous solliciterons cet hébergement de nouveau. Laurent
