Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house is gorgeous and well kept. My family loved the pool and the bedrooms. There is no AC downstairs only fans and although leaving doors open creates a cooler breeze it still remains quite warm and you invite whatever bugs are flying around. Upstairs bedrooms are beautiful and all had an AC unit but not strong enough to AC whole house. During our stay an AC broke in one of the bedrooms and out of owner control. Frustrating for us as our sons were hot at night and had to miss two days of excursions waiting on maintnence people to arrive. The washer and dryer was amazing to have and allowed us to underpack. Plenty of showers and bathrooms all clean and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of closet space in master bedroom. Remote location and near beaches and water activities but not close to zipline, volcano, or rainforest like activities. We would stay again just maybe not with our kids. ##### kirk a. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy A. Mar 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best of Costa Rica I have made numerous trips to Costa Rica over the last several years and our recent trip was by far our favorite. Our stay at Todd and Rebecca's home was exceptional. The home is absolutely beautiful which is located in a private gated community. Everything from booking the home to check in and check out was flawless. Any inquiries we had of Todd and Rebecca were answered within minutes and they gave us a lot of insight on activities in their area. If you are looking for a private getaway, away from the crowding of the larger tourist areas, you will not go wrong staying at this property. Tim and Emily A. ##### Timothy A. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian E. Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Awesome house but The house is amazing but to get there is another story. To get to the house you have to drive about 17 miles of the worst dirt road every. If it rains you better have a truck or SUV. It’s not a place to stay if you want to explore. The only other minor thing I thought was creepy was the camera on the pool, there are cameras all around the house not sure one is need on the pool. They house is in great shape some minor things need fixing but overall it is awesome. ##### Brian E. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023
