WHY PLAYA NEGRA? You're probably looking at multiple locations in Costa Rica.

The home is even better than the photos. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. High ceilings, starlight roof seating, waterfall pool, open and airy bedrooms, it's all there. You seriously just need to bring some food and your bathing suit. We were there for a wedding so many of the activities available through the property managers went unused, but there is a lot of opportunity for recreation. Overall, this place is truly fantastic.

Paradise
Our family of six stayed in Playa Negra at the Case de Miel for a week. The house was just the right size for our family. The pool right off the house and the beach steps from the gorgeous view was absolutely amazing! Low tide revealed lots of rocks to walk and tidal pools for my children to snorkel and find crabs. Outdoor/water-shoes are a must for the beach if you plan to explore. Playa Negra is a small and quaint surf town. All the restaurants were delicious! Would definitely recommend and make sure you bring groceries (Walmart Liberia), the cute markets in town are very small.

Awesome Home in Playa Negra
Loved this house in Playa Negra. Jarrod and Meaghan were outstanding hosts helping us with activity arrangements and helping us navigate some travel challenges we ran into. Had to delay our trip previously and they were awesome to work with. Home was beautiful - better than the pictures, and monkeys right in the trees in the driveway! Playa Negra is a super cool little surf town with awesome restuarants. Can't wait to return!

Better than the pictures
The property and hosts were more exceptional than this listing can convey. When we arrived the scale of the house was grand, the infinity pool was a work of art, and the yard and ocean view was more than a 180 degree with forest and mountains the other direction. The hosts were available via multiple methods and prompt with response and assistance, making this a luxury experience. We explored the area and felt the beach and tide pools right outside our stay were the best; we even saw a whale and wild leatherback turtle! A short walk to the right reveals an estuary with mangroves. A short walk to the left reveals playa negra with a beachfront restaurant. The house amenities were well stocked and tips and ideas were organized in a binder helping us decide what we wanted to do each day. We definitely recommend this property for a stay and hope to return in the future.

Great Stay At Playa Negra!
My family and I stayed at this beautiful home for 4 wonderful days. We loved the open floor plan and wrap around porch. We also loved how close the house is to the beach. At low tide the beach is most rock, but we loved that feature. There are some tidal pools at low tide that are big enough to snorkel in and they are full of tropical fish. The house is beautiful and was undergoing some renovations that will only add to the beauty. We would love to stay in this home again.

Accomadations for a Rock Star
We absolutely loved staying here. Could have stayed another month. (We were there for 8 nights). All of the amenities you could think of and need. Great views, a private pool right there, nothing but a yard between you and the ocean. I would say the only negative(even though it didn't bother me) was the dirt road you drive in on(approximately 20 minutes, slow). Fabulous home!

Casa Luna De Miel is a beautiful oceanfront place to stay in Playa Negra
If you are looking for an out-of-the way and peaceful vacation, Casa Luna De Miel is the house you want to rent. I loved the stone wall in the livingroom. The beds were quite comfortable. The landscaping around the house was amazing. The views from the house and pool of the ocean were fantastic. One day we had wild ponies in the back yard. We had fun walking on the beach at low tide looking for shells. My son and grandson wanted to come to Playa Negra to surf. You can park near the Playa Negra hotel/restaurant for a small fee and walk to a sandy beach and where the surfers all congregate. There were surfers from all over the world visiting Playa Negra. Everyone was friendly that we met. There are a few restaurants in Playa Negra. Kon Tiki has great pizzas. My husband and I had a good American breakfast at the Playa Negra Hotel while watching the surfers. Prices are similar to restaurants in Florida. Not much in the way of shopping at Playa Negra. Definitely buy all of your groceries before you get there. We had stayed a week earlier in Tamarindo so we bought groceries and souvenirs in that town. The dirt/stone roads getting to Playa Negra are a little bumpy. You have to go slow and avoid the pot holes. I was glad it did not rain while we were in Playa Negra. Meaghan and Jarrod, the managers, kept in touch with us throughout our visit to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. This was the nicest house we have ever rented with VRBO.

Off Season Week
Though everyone said that we were going off season, it was completely perfect in every way. The house is gorgeous, private pool is wonderful, the oceanfront property is awesome!!! I love having the loaded kitchen so we could have breakfast, lunch, dinner on the wrap around balcony overlooking the ocean and sunsets. The only negative thing I could say is I wish I could have stayed longer. Tip: Get massages at home!!!

Relaxing oceanfront vacation home
Our family of four stayed for a week at Casa Luna de Miel as part of our three week vacation to Costa Rica . This was our 2nd stop and it was perfect ! It is located in a very private community and we rarely saw other people. Every morning we enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the amazing wrap around porch listening to the waves and admiring the view. As I write this review I still can't believe we we fortunate enough to be able to stay here. The home is just like the pictures and video show but only better !! We spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool which was always the perfect temperature. The bedrooms and living and dining rooms all had ac and all the rooms had great ceiling fans to keep the house cool. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked most of our meals, why would you want to go out to eat when you have this amazing view. The living room is very comfortable and has a good selection of DVDs, games( we had a few monopoly nights) and a good satellite package to those wanting to watch tv. Swimming and surf beaches are a short car ride or walk away and the water was very warm. The guards at the gate always greeted us with a smile as we would come and go and Makomba the community dog spent a lot of time with us. The house has a washer/ dryer in the garage stocked with detergent and a new bbq . Playa Negra was the perfect location for us; secluded, quite, and beautiful but close enough to activities and the tourist town of Tamarindo ( we made a few trips to the auto mercado for groceries, very much like a US grocery store) and a short drive to Lola's for lunch and drinks. Our favorite place to grab a bite in the area was at Cafe Playa Negra, very good food and friendly service. When we arrived it was the beginning of the rainy season and we did have some rain each day which was always very brief and a nice cool down. Hummingbirds, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife provided great photo opportunities. Meaghan and Jarrod were fantastic! Always available to answer questions and help if you needed anything. We enjoyed meeting and talking with them and hope to return to one of their properties that they manage in the near future . This was our first trip to CR and we can't wait to return. It was also our first non resort vacation and everything went smooth and better than I imagined it could be. The abundance of nature and beauty of the land as well as the kindness of the people makes Cosa Rica a place I recommend to everyone. Pura Vida

Perfection on the Pacific
From booking, to planning details, points of interest, tours and adventures, local fare to fine dining, Jarrod and staff make it all easy and pleasurable. We knew of Jarrod and his properties from personal friends and previous visits. After booking a few months ahead, Jarrod used the interim to ask what we wanted to experience, our budget, time and level of adventure we were comfortable with. He and his staff can help you with driving advice that is easy to understand in a sometimes not so easy to get around road system. With his help we made our way from Arenal Observatory Lodge four hours away and got us right to our doorstep at Casa Luna Miel. We passed right through the 24hr manned guard shack (who were expecting us and waved us through with a smile and Pura Vida) took a right and the rest was easy. We settled in just a few minutes, unpacked a few quick things and hit the pool downstairs, rum in hand. Sundown came soon after, and for the first of what would be five evenings, we went to the rooftop perch. Rum in hand (hey it's vacation), we watched the surfers a few hundred yards off to the left get barreled at a world class Playa Negra, sprouting from the spray and spit of the foam, painted in colors across the Pacific from the setting sun to the right. You don't get that at the "all inclusive" resorts, not even close. 10+ species of tropical and sea birds hung around and over the yard daily, along with iguanas, and a few friendly horses. The home is one home from the end, so privacy and serenity are easy to come by. The interior is outstanding. You cannot help but notice the classic surfboards hung above the doors. The decor is classic tropical and impeccably clean. The master bed..you will not want to get out of it and can't wait to fall into it each evening after a long day of surfing, hiking, shopping, and exploring. Preparing our own meals is always a convenient and budget friendly way to go, and Miel makes it easy. But, 5 minutes away is town and plenty of good food steps away. A drive over to Junquial for Taco Tuesday is a great plan!We will be back and back and back again. I never hesitate to refer my clients, friends, family and anyone who mentions vacation or Costa Rica, to Jarrod Guidry. Topnotch, customized, budget friendly, private....as they say....es PURA VIDA!!

Our Dream
My husband and I stayed at Casa Luna Miel the first time in 2014 after having stayed in a hotel on our first trip to Costa Rica in 2012. We loved it from the moment we stepped inside and came back this year for a longer stay. It is a perfect house for a couple or a family as the guest room has a queen bed and the coolest built in bunk beds! Staying at Luna Miel is like coming home. My husband and I truly enjoy the entire Costa Rica experience one gets from renting a house. In 2014, Jarrod put us in touch with Adobe Rental Car for our vehicle and graciously explained where to go when we arrived...drawing maps for us, etc... so we were able to get groceries, gas, go to restaurants, and different surf breaks. This year, he did the same and after having helped refresh our memories, we can make our way around as easily as if we were locals! ...well, almost LOL... This year, the surf was pumping when we arrived, so my husband headed for the beach first rather than getting groceries. At the last minute, Jarrod had Mariah get us a few groceries to tide us over. To say Jarrod is accommodating is an understatement. The house itself is like a dream. The view of the ocean and the sunsets stay with me all year long. The exhilaration of jumping in the beautiful pool after coming back from the beach is awesome. The grounds are meticulously maintained. This year we did a few new things, which I recommend for anyone coming to Rancho Playa Negra. First, in home massages! Francis and her gentleman counterpart were unbelievable. I have massages regularly and have never been as relaxed as I was after having Francis work on me. The other is horseback riding along the beach to Avellanas. I have only been on a horse a couple times in my life and to ride a horse at sunset, along the beach and over rocks on the Costa Rican shoreline is an experience I will never forget. Jarrod and his team are honest and fair and a pleasure to be around. We have fallen in love with Costa Rica and Playa Negra and it is our dream to build a home in Rancho Playa Negra. While on this trip, Jarrod showed us some properties and spent time explaining the nuances of buying, building and living in Costa Rica. We hope we can be neighbors some day! Anyone thinking about a trip to Costa Rica should really consider any house in Rancho Playa Negra, but if there is such a thing as a perfect house, Casa Luna Miel is it. See you next year!

A Wonderful Retreat
My husband and I stayed at the Luna Miel for our 25th wedding anniversary recently. We loved it. We had spent the first part of the week touring the central part of Costa Rica with lots of adventure. By the time we got here we just wanted to take in the views and relax and enjoy our last few days. This was the perfect spot for that. The house is spectacular. Cozy, spacious, awesome kitchen for staying in and cooking your own meals. We found a real coconut that fallen from a tree in the yard and had the great experience of cracking it open and literally drinking the milk and eating raw coconut. Had a visitor often with the local iguana who came by each morning to take in the sun. It was quiet, relaxing, with spectacular sun sets and ocean views. If ever there again, will definately stay again. The host managers, Jarrod and his wife, were awesome and helped us out any time we had a question or needed anything at all. They are honest because we over paid before arrival and they caught the mistake and refunded immediately. Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful Luxury Home with Amazing Views & Pool
Our family of four had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Luna de Miel. The views are absolutely incredible and the very clean and refreshing pool is located on the side of the house and provides shade and privacy. We did have an a/c issue at the beginning, but it was taken care of very quickly. Although Jarrod is the property manager, Mariah helped us out quite a bit with suggestions about where to eat and things to do. She acted as a surf guide for me since I hadn't been to the area and my surf skills were very rusty. She helped by explaining a bit of the local culture and etiquette, set me up with a trip to Ollies and Witches Rock, and threw out a few very good surf tips. In addition, she arranged surf lessons for our daughter with Monica who was extremely patient, and really broke down surfing into easy to understand steps in such a positive way. Our daughter now loves surfing and after 3 days of lessons was riding wave faces. Both Monica and Mariah are super honest, reliable and great role models. Also, don't miss the fabulous massage given by Francis! After surfing for 3 days, my shoulders and neck were very out of sorts. Francis straightened everything out and I was able to surf 2 more days. Overall, a wonderful trip! We will be returning!

The Best!!
This was my 6th trip to Costa Rica, and Rancho Playa Negra is the best place to be, and Casa Luna de Miel is the best home to be in. It's luxury living in a beautiful, quiet, secluded part of the world. The house is better than the pictures, beautifully furnished and very secure. Our sunset horseback ride began at our house; we visited the community of Guaitil, with its amazing pottery, after a 40 minute drive of spectacular beauty. The local restaurants are wonderful (arroz con pollo was my favorite), with offerings to satisfy anyone's taste. Tamarindo is a nearby city for lunch and good shopping (but too "busy" to stay in). Jarrod and Meaghan are terrific down-to-earth hosts who are always available to answer questions and offer advice. We spent a lot of time at this incredible house, walking the beautiful grounds of Rancho Playa Negra, and it's beaches and tidal pools. We left totally relaxed, and looking forward to returning next year to another perfect week!

Amazing Trip. Did not want to leave.
We spent 3 glorious weeks at Casa Luna de Miel. From the minute we arrived, we felt at home here. The house was so comfortable and was the best choice we could have made. We felt very safe and secure. Jarod and Meeghan were so wonderful and helpful beyod expectations. Arranged a car for us, trips, anything we needed they were there for us. The pool was always sparkling, and we spend many days swimming or walking along the tide pools in front of the house. After traveling around to many of the more build up towns, we realized that Playa Negra was the perfect spot. We felt part of the community there. Thank you Jarod and Meeghan for helping to make this trip so fantastic. We would recommend this house and Rancho Play Negra in a heartbeat. Linda & Mike

(Massages on the patio overlooking the ocean were a highlight.) Great surfing nearby, beautiful beaches, warm water. It was hard to leave. Our family loved our time here and hope to return sometime soon!
