Our family group of 13 had a fabulous experience here. It is a beautiful home and we felt very safe. The hosts answered our questions promptly, and helped us arrange some great activities. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The living, dining, bar and outdoor areas were perfect for gathering together. The kitchen was well equipped for our large group. The view from the backyard/pool was amazing. Although the beach, only steps away from the house, is too rocky for swimming, the tide pools there were spectacular. We saw lots of fish, starfish, urchins, and sea cucumbers every day at low tide. The location worked well for us...it was much quieter than Tamarindo, and there were plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. Tamarindo was only 5-10 minutes away by car. The staff, there every day, was very accommodating. We arranged for them to cook one dinner at the house. It was delicious and economical. We also loved seeing monkeys, iguanas, crabs, butterflies, parrots, and other beautiful birds from the pool area. We would definitely come back.
