Its all about the view. (We absorb the 13.5% VAT tax)

We loved our stay of 9 days. The view is spectacular. Access to beach and the small town of San Francisco, both a short walk or drive. This is a place to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature. We will be going back. Property perfect. Thank you Charlie for great communication and making everything super easy. Best Regards Mark and Kelly

Very accommodating. Lovely view.

we enjoyed our stay.

After spending a week in the overly touristy area around Tamarindo, we were overjoyed with the 5 nights we spent at Charlie's home. It was the perfect spot for just chilling out in the pool or taking a 15 minute stroll down to the beach. We were there in the busy time of the year in January but we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. To the South, the beach is quite rocky but accessible at low tide and to the North is a long sandy beach that requires a short wade through an estuary to access. We even walked into the village of San Francisco de Coyote which took about an hour. There we had a choice of several restaurants that were all good. A bit further North are some more choices and we treated ourselves to some fine dining at San Miguel's about 20-30 minutes away. We ventured south to Santa Teresa for a day and that involved seveal creek crossings so make sure you're vehicle is up to the task. The views from the house are amazing both at sunset and from the bedroom in the morning. If you're in to photography you'll spend lots of time taking photos of the sunsets, stars, howler monkey's, coati's, birds, butterflies and some intersting insects. The house is an amazing bit of architecture and very well thought out to take advantage of the location and the enviroment. I'd defintiely recommend it to anyone.

We frequent CR often but this was our first time in Coyote. We loved the area so much we’re building in the area next year. This house is small but perfect for two. The bed is comfortable and the pool is perfect for relaxing and cooling off and watching the stars and moon. The best place to enjoy a private sunset is Caletas beach which is left out of the driveway. “Alouetta” is a must for smoothies and a healthy breakfast. The host, Mischa, is very helpful and knowledgeable to the area. I recommend seeing Marilyn (French Chef), do the tasting menu. She’s the best and undercharges so tip well. El Barco is a greet beach restaurant owned by a German couple and they prepare great local food. San Miguel is an upscale restaurant you can’t miss. Rancho Lima Clara is great for breakfast or lunch. Hector at Restaurant Rios speaks good English and is very helpful as well. They have great pizza. I recommend taking your own fold out chairs or buying some for the beach as there aren’t really adequate ones around for heading out for a beach day. Make sure you shop prior to getting to the house or you’ll be circling back. There is no microwave but the stove and appliances are just Fine. Make sure you lock up if you leave for the day or the critters will reclaim some of the local fruits you may have purchased. Enjoy, we did.

I did very little research when I booked the location of my stay in Costa Rica. As soon as I saw this property I knew I was going to stay here. Everything absolutely met or exceeded any expectation I had. Location- I wanted somewhere quiet and relaxing and in late October this is exactly what I got. The home is on a quiet hill and you can hear the ocean and see the waves from the bedroom. I saw very few tourists, or people for that matter, and I never felt crowded for even one second. The House- If a minimalist feel with open air and incredible view near the beach is what you’re looking for, look no further. Everything worked perfect, everything had a purpose and almost every single glass pane slides away to reveal nothing but fresh open air. At night the mini split A/C and fans were plenty to keep me cool and comfortable. The Host- Charlie was more than accommodating and gave an extensive list of activities and local restaurants. Minor met me exactly on time to take me up to the property and was extremely helpful throughout. At one point my gate opener stopped working and they were their within 10 minutes with a replacement. Overall, this is a solo traveler or couples dream. I will absolutely be staying here in the future!

The place is as advertised and the owner gives a lot of helpfull additional information. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back if we have the chance ?

Modern and sleek. Everything you need for your stay but not a bunch of stuff you don’t need. I found myself constantly staring towards the ocean in this indoor/outdoor living delight. Owner and caretaker very responsive and great to deal with. An all around pleasant stay

We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. The accommodations were very comfortable and showed the beauty of the location. The property owner communicated very well. Overall an amazing vacation.

If you like privacy, extraordinary vistas, a super comfortable bed, modern unfussy architecture, and a responsive host, this is the place for you. Playa Coyote which is a very short drive is an unspoiled beach with a lovely outdoor beach restaurant where you can get a freshly caught grilled fish for lunch. Weekends see many local families and campers visiting. The beach is mostly unpopulated during the week. San Miguel which is about a 25 minute drive has one extraordinary restaurant and a few very respectable ones. This is not a high tourist area. Most of the roads are unpaved or semi paved. You will need an all wheel drive vehicle. Charlie's place is what I consider an outdoor house. First thing in the morning we raised the shades and slid the glass walls back for full exposure to the ocean breezes. In the afternoons, we reversed the process and turned the AC on. The patio that connects the two rooms is generally comfortable even when the temperatures hit the 90's. And then, you can always cool off in the pool. In short, I love this place and would give it more than 5 stars, if I could. I do hope to get back next year. Thank you Charlie for creating a little bit of paradise.
