Confortable Villa 3 min a la playa /Balcon piscina

Adequate accommodation… suitable for short duration…

We loved the location of this VRBO as it was indeed walking distance to the beach 10 minutes in the heat & on the hill. It was quiet and pretty and it had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor showers for getting off salt, sand, and lots of dust. Access to a washer/dryer was nice, the pool was very cute, and we didn't need any more space as it was just the three of us and all we did there was shower and sleep and make coffee.The AC works but doesn't get "American cold" -- to be expected. The bathroom was a little funky smelling but with Costa Rican plumbing and the jungle humidity, I think this is also to be expected. Mari was so so great! Gave us all the info we needed (and I referred to it often) and was responsive when I had a couple questions. She is kind and relaxed and welcoming.The property felt very safe, and very special. Our own little corner of the jungle for a few days! I'd recommend this stay for the value, especially if you're spending most of your time out and about. We loved it!

Our host Mari and staff are outstanding. They made our stay very comfortable and were so helpful. Mari provided us with a very useful list of shops and restaurants upon arrival. The property was well maintained, private and lush with plants. We felt at home away from home.

great House, very friendly and helpful Host. fantastic garden and pool, fast internet, well equipped kitchen. Monkeys in the surrounding trees, <10min walk to the beach. We felt very welcome and would book it again.

I rarely give bad reviews. But I felt compelled to write this one. When I first arrived I accidentally used my code on the apartment door nextdoor and to my surprise the door opened! The same code worked on my apartment, There was no sliding bolt on the inside and a noticeable space between the frame of the door and the door. Being right on a dusty road meant dust made its way inside. Air conditioning only in the bedroom. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need but my overall experience was not pleasant.The first day the owner was sitting around the pool with her friends and a large dog playing loud music. They were drinking and quite loud. I went for a swim anyway but it was not relaxing. I went out to meet a friend for dinner. When I got home it was even louder so I asked them to turn the music down. They did. The photos are deceptive. The place looks clean and new, but the apartment is tired. The tiles need to be re-grouted in the shower and in the bathroom I told the owner that the curtains in the living room were dirty and not wide enough to cover the window at night. It’s a throughway people walk by to the other apartments so I didn’t feel comfortable at night. She offered to come over and wash the curtains but insisted “nobody can see in”.it’s in a good location just five minutes walk to the beach and some restaurants but I would not recommend this place unless the owner put put some TLC into the place and freshened it up.
