It was a great first stop for our trip to Costa Rica and getting our bearings. The place is beautiful and the beds very comfortable! We definitely got to see monkeys, iguanas, many lizards, frogs, and birds!The beach is a bit of a walk through some construction areas (lots of new homes being built) once you leave the property, but it is worth it for gorgeous beaches that are not crowded. There is even a beach with all black sand and blue waters you can walk to! Kai lent us some boogie boards that the kids LOVED using. His recommendation for a local surfer, Carlos, for lessons was great too. Carlos was a fantastic (and patient) teacher! There are lots of great restaurants in the area, but we also made use of the well stocked kitchen daily to help with our budget. Overall this was a great place to stay! ##### Lindsay H.

Nov 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Location & Amazing Host Last year I taught world geography at our homeschool co-op and one of the class learning objectives was: spark a new love for adventure so you may embark one day on a trip of your lifetime! I, as the teacher, took that to heart and asked my family where they would live to venture to. Costa Rica, of course. My kids love Coyote Peterson and all his ventures to Costa Rica and learning about all the animals and bugs. This place did not disappoint! If you are looking for a place close to an amazing beach, Playa Grande, but not far from the Tamarindo area, this is the place to go. The property is amazing and the home we stayed in was clean. The host, Kai was so helpful and friendly! If the opportunity arises again, we would love to stay there again. Pura Vida! We found this place in the dark in torrential rain. That in itself was an adventure, lol. Side note, when you rent a vehicle in Costa Rica, get a hotspot along with the rental. The WAZE app is also great. It was included in our hotspot. If you don't have a hotspot, it likely can be downloaded to use as your navigation throughout the country. Check out the little fruit stands along the roads. They have great local fruit and the prices are affordable. Highly recommend going in the transition season as well. ##### Julie H. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex N.

Take a quick stroll to the picturesque beach or walk or drive to one of the many local restaurants. We saw lots of wildlife and beautiful one of a kind plants and trees on the property. Every morning the monkeys and morning sun woke us up at exactly 6, which was very nice. Kai is an exceptional host and was always there to help us. A pretty quick drive to Tamarindo for more restaurants and many local artisan/souvenir shops. Thanks again Kai ##### Brandon P. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikki B.

It's the perfect spot to be close to everything but feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. You can walk to the beach. There are other Casitas on the property, but everyone does their own thing and you rarely see the other guests. I will be back again and again and again. It's not often you discover such a total gem with a host that's gracious, informative and a wonderful human. ##### Nikki B. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason N. Jun 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property; Great Location; Great Host Kai's property is beautiful - he has created something special from the surrounding rainforest/jungle. And, with a short walk, you are on Playa Grande, Ventanas Beach, or Playa Carbon. This was our first of four stops during a two-week family vacation with kids ranging from 4 to 17\. Everyone had a great time and the property was a great introduction to Costa Rica - with the howler monkeys, iguanas, and other wildlife, and easy access to the ocean. Kai was great to communicate with and always available, but certainly not hovering. He respected our privacy and we got the sense he truly wanted us to enjoy his property - which we did! ##### Jason N. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda G.

There were beautiful sunrises and sunsets from this hilltop property. Nature abounds. The best was waking up to the view and the sounds outside our windows . We saw monkeys and birds in the trees, an iguana and even an armadillo. Our host Kai was wonderful and super accommodating. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. And very much appreciated was the the extra shower outdoors after walking back from the beach. Local restaurants and a convenience store are also a short walk away. ##### Linda G.

If you need absolutely anything, just ask and Kai will take care of it! The house is perfect! Set away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to walk to everything. We were greeted each morning with an abundance of life. Monkeys and birds abound! You will not regret this stay and this amazing host! An absolute pleasure! ##### Megan O.

Beautiful landscaping the owner, Kai, maintains. Any issues were quickly addressed. While there is no air conditioning the breeze was nice as well as ceiling fans to keep air moving. Short 10 minute walk to Playa Grande beach which is an amazing beach. Lots of great restaurants and microbrewery close by. Tamarindo is a 50 minute walk from Playa Grande beach and short boat ride away ($2). While Tamarindo is busy, Playa Grande is quiet and laid back. We’ve already booked another three weeks next year. ##### Glenn S.
