The house and grounds were very nice. We thought the beds were awesome. Most of our time at the house was spent under the pavilion and in the pool. All the areas were supplied well with dishes, utensils and glassware. The property manager communicated well with us and was prompt. We did lose water one night and we notified him and he took care of it promptly. The bedrooms are the only areas that are air conditioned so the kitchen area and living room were too warm to spend a whole lot of time in. However, most of our time was spent outside by the pool, visiting the beaches, going to waterfalls, or out to eat rather than indoors. The house was convenient to get groceries, travel to the beach, visit restaurants, etc.
Very nice property with large lot. Room to spread out with additional small house with private bathroom and shower. Pool was amazing with outdoor shower and a lot of space to hang chill outside. Very quit and peaceful property. Only complaint is how hot the kitchen and living area get. Our family had to either use the pool to cool down or hang out in a back bedroom that had AC. Also the lighting in the main room is poor. If AC were added to the main living area and lighting was improved I would give this a 10/10. would definitely stay here again.
My little family stayed in this gem for 3 weeks this past July, and it was fantastic. The grounds are gorgeous, the pool refreshing, and the house extremely spacious. The property manager, Kenny, was very attentive to all of our questions and needs, and his crew kept the pool and garden well tended throughout our stay. The house is located in a nice neighborhood, and has a little supermarket a short drive away as well as several restaurants. There is a ton of wildlife, particularly tons of birds that frequent the property. A bird watchers paradise, for sure!
Nice location and close to just about everything one would need. Walk to the Gatos Loco restaurant or the bakery next door. Yard and pool are fantastic. Indoor might be a little dated but perfectly fine and clean. WIFI worked fine. Well stocked kitchen. There is a lot of construction going on in the area, and we had a lot of noise a couple of mornings at 7:00am next door lasting all morning. Otherwise very quiet. When you book any home in the area ask if there is a construction project going on next door. The owner may be totally unaware so certainly not their fault. Bedrooms had AC, and it would be nice if the whole house had AC because it was very hot when we were there in March. Good thing there were ceiling fans and a pool. Would book here again.
After having stayed in a home without air conditioning earlier last month, Smber’shome was a welcome respite. Cool bedrooms for comfortable sleeping, huge, fully equipped kitchen, two incredible outdoor seating areas, birds and vegetation that was grand, etc. The pool was wonderful and Kenny, our host, went above and beyond in order to supply us with necessary things. Because we are Senior Citizens, he even had a handrail installed for ease in getting down the steps and into the pool! In our 14 visits to Costa Rica, many of these safety features are not available. Thank you Amber and Kenny for making our vacay superb!
Ken was easy to work with, and offered great local suggestions to eat. The house, pool and grounds were perfect and exceeded our expectations.
My wife and I, alongside our travel companions ( 3 kids and 4 adults) stayed in this wonderful villa for two weeks. From the outset, the communication with Amber the owner was excellent. We had a change of plans prior to our travel dates, as one of the couples decided to bring their two children along and Amber was very helpful in helping us accommodate them as well. The house was laid out very well with all the necessary items and the house was clean and welcoming. The outdoor area, (pool/rancho) by far the best part of the house, was large enough to facilitate a large gathering and provided more than enough room for the adults and the kids to coexist outdoors. We had visits from toucans as well as scarlett macaws, a few cattle at the fence line of a nearby farm and the sounds of howler monkeys replacing the need for alarm clocks in the morning. My wife and I stayed in the onsite cabina, at the back of the property. It is a simple studio with a kitchenette and bathroom but very suitable for a couple wanting some privacy away from the main home. The local manager Kenny was always available to answer any questions and was a pleasure to deal with. The house was walking distance to the bakery ( La Panaderia Frances) as well as Los Gatos Locos ( nice bar/restaraunt with an extensive menu and live music). The grocery store ( Super Juculoa) was only about a 5 minute drive form the rental. Overall, this house was perfect for our large group and offered everything we were looking for. Highly recommend it to those with a larger group, looking for a luxurious outdoor space and a clean, well stocked home capable of pleasing the masses. it is a wonderful home base from which to travel up and down the pacific coast to a variety of wonderful beaches and beach towns. It was a wonderful reprieve from the concrete jungle, to the real jungle on the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Enjoyed thoroughly by all! Gracias a Amber and Kenny. Hasta pronto. Pura Vida, Gord and Rebecca.
We stayed here for our first trip to Costa Rica! Absolutely no regrets! We are a family who does not enjoy overly crowded or overly commercialized All-Inclusive resorts. Who wants to share the pristine beaches of Costa Rica with dozens of your not-closests acquaintances? Not us. We wanted to stay in an area that had activities within a relatively short drive. This house fits the bill ! Jungle Horse back riding in Uvita, hike up the pristine mountains in the area. Waterfalls in the area! Zipline. Restuarants, Beaches. Scaret Macaws, Toucans every day! This house's location provided it all. Kenny the property manager was very gracious and quickly responded to any and all inquiries and comments! We have already recommended the home to others! God willing, we will be back!
Far better than photos show. All five members of my family raved about the grounds, location, and general lay-out of the rental. We got complete service from the beginning of this booking from the owners and property manager. Loved our stay!!!!!!!!
This is one of the most beautiful properties we've stayed at. The house is in the town of Ojochal and handy to everything. We're big walkers - we had lots of choice every morning. We walked on level ground in the town and we hiked up into the rain forest several times a week. The house is super comfortable with AC in the bedrooms (very required). The common area is big, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed (most houses are missing a few things - not this one). The crown jewel of this property is the outdoor living space. It has a well maintained pool, a lovely rancho and the most beautiful garden and landscaping we have found in ten years of coming to Costa Rica. Not only were the flowers and fruit trees beautiful, there is a big ylang ylang tree that made the property smell like paradise too! The garden also attracted more types of birds than we usually see on a property giving us hours of entertainment every day. The property manager is a character! Kenny was always responsive and a great resource for all things in the area. He was a pleasure to deal with and made himself available whenever we had a question. We loved every minute of our stay on this property - it is now one of our favorite places and we hope to be back.
