Cozy Caribbean Beachfront House (Pet & Kid Friendly)

We had a wonderful stay. The roosters were quite the singers so it may not be for the non-rural folks. But the location, setup, and hospitality were all wonderful. We cant wait to come back!

The only minus was the washing machine was broken. I would happily stay here again.

Nice location with easy access. Could have bedding updated :)

The house looks and feels like a tree house. It was stocked with everything we needed. The host was top notch. The waves crashing at night across the street are a wonderful treat to fall asleep to. Using the tuk tuks to get into town for dinner and live music was easy to use.I will absolutely recommend this property.We couldn't have asked for a better vacation.

FRANKESTEIN BEACH HOUSE.I booked this place after being deceived by all the 5 star reviews (“probably bribed”) all the pictures are probably photoshop to look nice.This house WAS VERY CREEPY; was probably built in the 1940’s & is pretty runned down & neglected today, it has ugly green nets instead of windows to hear all the noise from animals & traffic! (no A/C) NO hammock (as it’s shown on the pics) NOT EVEN ELECTRICITY when we got there! Everything is old, dirty, neglected & disgusting, moldy smell of rotten wood. There were spiders & spiderwebs under the beds! Washer & dryer in the middle of the living room that don’t even work! A cat owned by the guardian next door scratching the windows crying for attention. There were ants & other bugs getting inside through the wood gaps all over. (I suspected there may be even mice hiding there) We couldn’t stay there, my kids got scared & so did I. I wasted one day of my vacations being SCAMMED & trying to find another place to stay, while we were all starving from a long bus ride : The host only refunded a % of the total amount & kept “the cleaning fee” which I had to file a complaint with the app to get fully refunded & still waiting for it).By far the most terrible experience we had in C.R. “No stars” was not an option, but this place shouldn’t even be advertised anywhere anymore! TOTALLY NEGLECTED.The owner has NO consideration nor compassion for travelers whatsoever. It should be removed from this app for god sake!

The property was gorgeous and right by Playa Negra. The Host was great with communicating with us and very helpful. She even gave us options of food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as things to do around and options for transportation. I would definitely stay here again!

Susan was an excellent host…always available for questions.She helped us navigate our stay which made it enjoyable and relaxing.The house located across the street from the beach which was magical.Highly recommend!

Stayed in the house for 26 days. If things would have worked out the way I wanted we would still be there now...through the end of March 2025.There were 2 other people at the property - the property owner and a groundskeeper. The owner has quite a few interesting stories to tell. The groundskeeper was very helpful for getting a tuk tuk connection, arranging water bottle deliveries, identifying edible plants growing on the property, etc.We rented bikes which were great for a quick ride to the SK market or into town. Other beaches such as Cocles, Punta Uva and Manzanillo are also within reasonable cycling distances.The house does not have air conditioning. But my routine was when I started to get hot, the ocean was so close I would jump in the water for a bit and sit on a log in the shade to cool off. Or I would take a short bike on the dirt road by Banana Azul for some more secluded beach spots.The washing machine was a new experience for me. It is more interactive than what I am accustomed to but not a burden by any stretch.Our host Susana was responsive and helpful. We used WhatsApp which aided in communication.The upstairs balcony provided a nice private spot from which I saw a sloth traverse the wires across the street several times during our stay. Also saw a monkey quickly pass on the same wires a couple times.I feel the house enhanced my enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to visiting PV again and can hopefully book this house again.

This home is very rustic. No TV, No AC, manual Washer. The bathroom is updated and the bedrooms were nice, both with king beds, one upstairs, one downstairs. That said, the location was just north of town, an easy 1 mile walk. We did not have a bad meal the entire month we were there. The beach across the street is a lovely black sand beach, although the water was a bit rough in January. We had a really nice trip and Susana was responsive with answers to questions and items that were needed in the house.

The house was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Susana is a great host and made sure the house was stocked! The sound of the surf lulled us to sleep each night. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Our stay was more than we hoped for because Susanna was the most kind and lovely person. She was very helpful to us choosing things to do and took time to get to know us to be able to suggest activities. Wish we would have stayed longer at this location of our travels. The walk to town was pleasurable. We loved having a deck and upstairs balcony off the bedroom. The only suggestion we would make is updating the microwave and toaster oven.

Susana, the property manager, met us for check in and was flexible with our schedule due to a traffic accident shutting down the road. The property photos had obviously been taken years before. Things on the outside were beautiful, but the inside of the home had missing and broken tiles in the kitchen, no potable water (Susana said she would not drink it) and the water container in the photo as well as the microwave, no longer exist. The washer and dryer are in the living room so the only real gathering space is off the upstairs bedroom, (including going up steep, uneven stairs). The stove gas only worked half the time we were there and the oven never worked. There is a toaster oven but cooking for 4 in it was challenging. We asked for a drinking pitcher and Susana said she would bring the next day but we never got it. We were left only 4 towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, and 1 roll of papertowels for 4 adults for 7 days. When we asked Susana about anything, it was a big deal. She either became defensive or just ignored us. Who didn't ignore us was the property owner who shares the property and does not wear pants. That's right, every day he is waiting on the porch in his boxer shorts and at one point, we had only the screen door closed, I walked out of the bathroom after a shower in a towel headed to the bedroom to get dressed. He lets himself in and just stands there talking about bananas and ogling. After that, none of us stayed at the property alone.
