The casa sets back from the Hotel next door, so you don't even know it is there, but it is a very nice feature to have in case you want good food or a cocktail, The beaches are the best around, quite, black warm soft sand is perfect for walks on the beach, We also have a Lady who gives the best massages right on the beach, so relaxing, listening to the waves, and the breeze is perfect, a great way just to unwind and forget about work, Her Name and number are available upon request. Also we found wonderful places to eat and party, or just chill, We always go to Encantada on Esterillos-Este,on Thursday 4-6pm happy hour live music on the beach!! the most beautiful sunsets!!!!! It is 4 miles from our casa, but all the beaches by the casa are gorgeous, the closest beach is just 4 miles from casa, The casa is 30 minutes South of Jaco Beach and 30 North of Manuel Antonio, Perfect place for shopping, restaurants, night life, casinos, Manual Antonio is a must see, 30 minutes away, Beautiful white sand beaches, offering massages on beach, boat activities, awesome restaurants and shopping, our Favorite spot, You will find all sorts of activities, all within 30 minutes from casa. National Park, Quad and zip line tours, Party boat on the (Ocean King) in Quepos, also Deep sea fishing with Quepos Fishing, Perfect for catching the big ones!!! Waterfalls, Horseback riding, Surfing on Hermosa Beach, 20 minutes toward Jaco, Or take a Day Trip to the Valcano, or Rain Forest, well worth the trip.We recommend you have a tour guide or a driver take you. We also recommend you rent a car, a 4x4 is highly recommended if you are an explorer. You can rent a car from the airport and drive to the casa, try to get a morning flight and arrive by 1pm, It's hard to drive at night, and the roads directions can be difficult, We HIGHLEY recommend using ,,, It’s a new website as of April 2nd 2022\. It’s only 10 minutes from the house,, they will pick you up and take you back to airport when you rent a vehicle from them!!! Just an option, much easier than taking the buses, but if you do take buses, the bus stop is a 8 minute walk from casa. We have the best restaurants also, here is a list of the best ones we found,, Hot dog & beer wagon, Don Toro’s, ANY restaurant in the Town Center, We have a list of all of them at the house & where they are, also there are brochures of all kinds of activities at the casa. The pool will is the best!!! There is maid service available, you would pay her directly, $60 to clean, very trust worthy, they have been with us since we bought the casa. We do ask that you run the air conditioner only when you are in the bedrooms napping or sleeping at night, to save energy, The air conditioner get VERY COLD!!!! QUICKLY!!! No need to leave AIR on while exploring Costa Rica for the day!!! If you are looking for a relaxing place to relax with the Girls, or a guys fishing trip, a Family Vacation, Couples getaway, Our Casa is perfect for you to enjoy, WELCOME!!!

He did find some but not until I pressed him on way it wasn’t working. He neglected to tell us not to put our toilet paper in toilets so by morning the toilets were plugged. I called them and they said they would be there in 1 hour well 3 hours later they got there. He told us to add water to the pool every day cause the pool leaked. So we did what we were told.Now they are blaming us for the pool turning green. They insinuated that we peed in the pool and went in with lotions on. Also we know nothing about chemicals in a pool but if we have to add water every day they should have had someone monitor the chemicals. It also rained heavily one day so the pool did turn green the afternoon before we left. They are also trying to blame us for a broken hinge on a Kitchen cupboard which was already loose when we checked in and are stating the one of up pulled on it hard and broke it. She said that she would for give that cause she knows we didn’t break it. She has continued to harass me about this and now wants me to pay. Never again will I go thru Vrob ##### Kimberly K. Séjour de 9 nuits en janvier 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Dave C., Barrie, Ontario 6 janv. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Paradise! We felt that the property was much nicer than it appears in the listing. They have one quiet neighbour, and lots of wildlife! Monkeys came to visit as well as geckos, iguanas, parrots etc. All communication with Cindy and Mark felt like we were dealing with old friends. Very accommodating and flexible, and they had plenty of local tips that were all very helpful and made our stay much better! We’d love to go back. We’ll be recommending this listing to our friends! ##### Dave C. Séjour de 5 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Natalie J., Iowa 12 janv. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Perfect location to enjoy the coast Our family loved this home with the outdoor hut and pool being the favorite, along with the monkeys that visit by the pool. The property is set back a bit with a lovely away from the crowds vibe. Luis was so helpful, and Cindy recommended Jeisen for surfing lessons and mangrove tour and we opted for these instead of the bigger touristy options. Our kids loved it and we would all recommend! Jeisen also recommended visiting Rainmaker mountain and we had the entire place to ourselves hiking the hanging bridges and waterfalls. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Great location for such activities. The house has a lived in feel so if you are looking for white sheets and a crisp AC air, this is not for you. Actually then Costa Rica probably isn't for you! (: We loved it. ##### Natalie J. Séjour de 2 nuits en janvier 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Michelle W., Oak Grove, MO 26 nov. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Trip of a lifetime! We stayed at a beautiful amazing home with the most exquisite surroundings! The beauty that could be seen just from sitting out back. We discovered so many amazing species if your just careful and keep your eyes open especially to the sky for the beautiful birds! It was the perfect escape with the perfect host/hostess Thank you for sharing a little of your Paradise! ##### Michelle W. Séjour de 8 nuits en novembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Sylvia R., Midland Ontario 28 févr. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Winter escape! We arrived late at night after a very long day to be greeted by the lovely Luis! The property was spotless and welcoming, we immediately jumped into the lovely pool under the starry sky! The next morning, and every morning there after, the monkeys entertained us, along with a whole array of other wildlife. The house had everything we could possibly need and was close to everything we could possibly want. Cindy and Luis were both available for recommendations and suggestions. All together this was a lovely month of respite from the Canadian winter. Thank you Cindy and Mark for sharing this lovely place. ##### Sylvia R.

Séjour de 8 nuits en janvier 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Karen C. 7 janv. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### A wonderful vacation for my family of 5 Our family if 5 ( kids ages 13, 18, 20) had a fantastic experience in this rental. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. We loved to watch the monkeys that visited daily. The birds and iguanas were fascinating. We used pool and cabana each day. The location was great for driving to actives such as zip lining, rain Forrest hikes, white water rafting, surfing and beach days ( all within an hour drive or less). We also ate at some wonderful restaurants. Most of our activities and restaurants were suggested by our host. We would definitely rent here again! ##### Karen C. Séjour de 6 nuits en décembre 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kelly D. 3 janv. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Great property and location We had a great time staying here over Christmas week! The house is spacious, well stocked, and on a lovely property. We saw many animals right at the house. The location is close to many beaches and nearby towns for sight seeing. Cindy and the property manager were very helpful and responsive. ##### Kelly D. Séjour de 6 nuits en décembre 2022 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Ines K., Vernon, USA 13 août 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Off the beaten path comfy place to stay The reservation and check in process was super easy. Luis, who looks after the property, is a gem. He is super helpful and knows the area well. We felt welcomed from the minute we arrived. The property is located next to a hotel which has its pros and cons. You can eat at the restaurant but there may also be music and noise later in the evening. The home is equipped with everything. The pool is also lovely especially when you get back from the beach and want a cool dip. This home has a lived in feel, lots of beach themed art. If you are looking for a steril hotel kind of vacation home this might not be it. We used the ac units in the bedrooms at night to drop the humidity and dampness. Great stay overall including the monkeys that came to say hello at the pool. ##### Ines K. Séjour de 3 nuits en juillet 2022 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Dan F. 26 juin 2022 Points forts : Propreté #### Great house for making family memories Our family had a wonderful time at this house. The kitchen was nice a big with all you need ... minus the groceries, which the grocery store was an easy 10 minutes down the road in Parrita. There is a hotel next door, but the house still seems secluded. The pool was the highlight by far. We loved swimming with the kids and watching the monkeys come right up to the pool and eat the bananas we left in the basket. We even saw several poison dart frogs and iguanas. The main road is easy to drive, so getting out and seeing the sights was very easy to do. Cindy is very happy to offer recommendations for the area, and she was very responsive. The house does not require a 4x4\. Very happy with our choice to stay here. ##### Dan F.

We were blown away with our stay at the property and are already planning our next trip! Cindy was so helpful and communicated with us leading up to our trip, and suggested many things for us to do while we were visiting. We enjoyed the monkeys every morning that visited and the privacy of the property. Thank you for everything and we’ll see you next year! ##### erica d.

House was great and only 5 min drive to the beach. Monkeys, iguanas and all types of birds visited us by the pool. Cindy and Mark were very helpful with everything we needed and full of suggestions about places to visit. We had a great time and hope to rent this house again! Highly recommend! ##### Bruno F. Séjour de 7 nuits en juin 2021 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Laura A., Golden, CO 7 juin 2021 Points forts : Propreté #### Enjoyable stay Lovely pool and outdoor area. Despite being next to a hotel, property is secluded. Esterillos Town Center and Parrita town as well as the laid back, quiet beaches of Bejuco and Esterillos are about 10-15 mins away (by car). The owner, Cindy, was very communicative and provided a wealth of information regarding restaurants and things to do in the area. Luis the property manager was wonderful and available for any questions we had. We loved the daily monkey and iguana visits. Thank you for a lovely week in beautiful Costa Rica! ##### Laura A.

Easy access to the beach, Manuel Antonio National Park, Zipline at Chiclets, White Water rafting with Tiko Loco, great shopping and food in Jaco - A MUST PLACE TO STAY ##### Brandi F. Séjour de 6 nuits en décembre 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Megan H. 13 août 2019 Points forts : Propreté #### The best place to stay in Costa Rica! We loved everything about this house. The owners are fantastic - they were quick to help us with suggestions on all the best places and must-sees in the area. The house was beautiful. We loved relaxing in the pool, looking up and seeing the resident sloth. We also had a visit from about 20 monkeys one morning. Overall, I would highly recommend this house, and can’t wait to go back and (hopefully) stay there again! Thank you!! ##### Megan H. ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Christina P., Spring 5 août 2019 Points forts : Propreté #### Authentic and Comfortable This property is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to be close to all kinds of activities if we wanted to do things, but secluded and comfy if we wanted to do nothing at all. And we did not want a touristy resort or hotel. We wanted an authentic Costa Rica home where we could soak up the Pura Vida culture. From the friendly sloth who visited each day to the beautiful blooming flowers and the refreshing oool, we loved our stay. But the best part of renting this home is the owner, Cindy!! She is a great consistent communicator and truly wants to help make your stay in CR exactly what YOU want. She is full of so much knowledge and experience and connections! From local spots to eat to shopping to fishing to beaches and tours, she knows them all!! So pick her brain because she was our best resource both before the trip and during the trip. We fell in love with CR thanks to Cindy and her home. We can’t thank her enough. Pura Vida!! ##### Christina P. Séjour de 7 nuits en juillet 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Rick P. 3 mai 2019 #### Exotic Private Retreat Cathy and I spent a month at Mark and Cindy’s house and it was a delight. Being our first trip to Costa Rica, we were especially looking forward to getting close to nature and seeing the indigenous animals - the house is situated right up against a forest that brought monkeys, sloths, exotic tree squirrels, macaws, iguanas and much more. The house is minutes off the coastal road between Jaco and Quepos/Manuel Antonio - so we could drive in either direction for a variety of beaches, restaurants and activities. The nearby beach of Bejuco is only less than 15 minutes away - our go-to for playing in the surf. The house is equipped with all the necessities and we found ourselves spending time in the tiki hut ... or palapa and the swimming pool and patio. We especially enjoyed the refreshing pool, spending time there so least twice a day. The bedrooms are air conditioned and the beds were perfectly comfortable. We had the benefits of living like a local. ##### Rick P. Séjour de 29 nuits en avril 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Casey H. 20 janv. 2019 #### An incredible place to stay in Costa Rica Mark and Cindy's house is the perfect house to visit for an amazing time in Costa Rica. I'll name a few of the very long list of reasons why. My girlfriend and I arrived to the house at night where Carmen, the incredibly kind caretaker, met us and gave us the keys, walked us around the house and gave us recommendations on places to visit. Over the course of the next few days Carmen and Cindy were always both available to answer questions and help out if we couldn't find something. We spent the first few days of our trip simply enjoying the property which kept us busy between swimming in the amazing pool and watching birds, monkeys, iguanas and geckos roam around. FYI - It gets hot during the dry season, but the rooms have AC which was always a relief to have at the end of each day. The outdoor shower works really well too! We went to the nearby Hotel Pelicano for dinner and to watch the sunset for at least 6 of the 11 nights we spent in Costa Rica (it's incredible for the food and the view). The sunsets were simply insane and we collected some pretty shells as well... El Chiringuito was our second favorite spot for food. We did a night tour at Rainmaker Park which was absolutely incredible. If you decide to go (we highly recommend it), book your tour through Ann or Mick on their website and ask for Luis to be your guide. If you go during the dry season, try to wait for one of the few rains during the season for your trip - it makes the experience much more incredible. We eventually saw the female sloth in the trees with her baby, she came down within 10 feet of us and we got some incredible photos. To see a sloth in the backyard is a very, very memorable moment. She hung out there for a few days until we left, so every morning after we saw her, we went out to feed the monkeys and iguanas and say hi to the sloth and her baby. The house is between two major national parks; Manuel Antonio, and Carara National park - we recommend visiting both. For your guide, if you find Franklin Sanchez - go with him! The house is close to Maxi Pali, a great grocery store that has everything you need, and the bank which is just down the road. There are so many places to eat at nearby, it's hard to choose sometimes... If you can make the drive towards Jaco, VistaMar is also an amazing place for an outdoor lunch where you can see and hear the ocean. In the end, we are so grateful we chose Mark and Cindy's house for our adventure. We will definitely be back!! ##### Casey H. Séjour de 8 nuits en janvier 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Lisandro B. 24 juill. 2018 #### We have a great time, quiet like Paradise. The house is very nice and well equipped, all bedrooms have ac and ceiling fans. The swimming pool is very cosy and the best of all are the monkeys..... Nearest beaches are more for surfing rather than swimming, but national park Manuel Antonio is only 45 min away . The place is very relaxing and you won't notice any noise from the hotel. ##### Lisandro B. ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Joe h. 24 avr. 2018 #### Awesome house to stay in Esterillos / Parrita area I stayed at Mark and Cindy's for two nights with some friends. We loved it, and would have liked to be there longer. The AC in the bedrooms is really nice to have, and the backyard / pool area is really fun to hang out in. We had a big group of monkeys come through a few times and eat the fruit we left out for them. Really awesome place to stay, and Mark and Cindy made it very easy to enjoy! Highly recommended!! ##### Joe h. Séjour de 2 nuits en avril 2018 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Maria B. 16 avr. 2017 #### Comfortable and enjoyable place! Our family of four stayed at Mark and Cindy's house over Easter week and we had an enjoyable and relaxing time at their house. The kitchen is well equipped and packed with utensils. The decor made us feel at home, we loved all the art work around the house. Plan on getting one of the small bags of charcoal per use of the grill. It was really nice to have access to plenty of towels! The wifi worked really well And the property is secluded and surrounded by a wonderful landscape of lush trees and forest. We saw a lot of iguanas climbing the trees and sunbathing by the roof. The capuchin monkeys also came to the backyard. You can definitely enjoy birding in the early mornings. Bring your binoculars! The pool was super clean and we enjoyed swimming during the day and night. The location is perfect, only 40 min from Manuel Antonio National Park and 25 minutes from Jaco (Great for shopping). Cindy helped us find surfing instructors only 15 minutes from the house at Esterillos Este. The beach was wonderful, Great for young and older kids! Luis is a friend and neighbor of Mark and Cindy's. He was very kind and helpful. He made sure we felt comfortable and offered some suggestions for activities around the area. Luis uses whatsapp and is fluent in English. All in all, a great house for our family of four, thanks!!! The Braemer's ##### Maria B. Séjour de 4 nuits en avril 2017 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Kara M. 18 mai 2016 #### Perfect for Families We had a wonderful time staying at this lovely home in Costa Rica. We were 2 families with small children and it was the perfect size for us. Having the pool was ideal when we got home from a long day out and the kids wanted more time in the water. It was also lovely to hang out under the palapa at night when the kiddos went to bed. We used the grill with carbon to grill up fish and shrimp many nights. The house had everything that we needed to cook our own meals and save money. The hosts were super helpful and prompt with anything that we needed to know about the house and area. They put us in contact with their friends at El Pelicano and we spent a lot of time using their beach access, pools, restaurant and bar. The owners there were also really friendly and helpful. The only down side was the internet. It was advertised as having internet and one of the people in our group need it to complete work while we were away. You could not look up anything and barely could send an e-mail. We had to go to a restaurant in order to get any internet service. Do not rent this house and expect to do work online. ##### Kara M.
