Lush Garden areas close to beach
Fabulous location! Close to the beach. The outdoor seating areas were great. Both rooms had balconies and 2 outdoor seating areas very private. Pool was very relaxing after a day at the beach.

Relaxing pool and beach spot!
This home was private yet close to the essentials. Playa Portrero is a small beach town with a handful of restaurants and small markets. Perfect if you're looking to be somewhat secluded but still have what you need. The pool was nearly private with only 3 other units sharing the space. The beach was not even a 5 minute walk away and never had more than ~30 people on it at once. The home itself was actually better than the pictures show, the master bedroom is gorgeous and the balconies make it so fun!

Culture shock - grateful for this paradise getaway
Call us ignorant travelers from the States but we truly did not have any clue what to expect when we landed in Costa Rica. A nighttime drive in a rental car from Liberia airport and an adventurous ride down Monkey Trail (avoid at all costs!), we were relieved when we walked through the secure front gate to Stef Surf property. Our own gorgeous paradise! Immaculately clean and thankful for the A/C units! Weather is quite humid but our unit was not. El Toucan unit was on the end and I would say the most private of all 4 units. Grounds were also immaculate and the maintenance and landscaping staff were hard working but also attentive to guests staying there. Francisco checked on us and was most pleasant while Tony, our contact with property management, was quick to reply to any communications. WhatsApp is a MUST to have.

Stef Surf Tucan
Stef Surf Tucan was a great place to stay. The rooms were spacious with great outdoor patios to sit and enjoy the scenery. We had options of the pool with beautiful tropical scenery at the villa or a short walk to the beach. The villa is located just a couple of blocks away from several great places to eat. There is also a small store located even closer that we bought some groceries to cook. Our trip was made even more enjoyable with the help from our host Tony Gonzalez. This was our first trip to Costa Rica. He met us the first day and was always available through Whatsapp. I don't think we could have asked for a better host. The food was great everywhere. My favorite meals were probably lunch at Coco Loco (Mar y Sol ) and breakfast at the Surf Box (La Mexicana). That said, we ate at The Shack several times and other places. I'd highly recommend coming. Pura Vida!

It was a very guiet and relaxing property. Pool was in close proximate and only a few minute walk from the beach. It was also a gated community/area so felt very safe. Enjoy some quiet downtime here when we were back from visiting beach and surrounding areas.

Tropical retreat in Surf Side
Nestled within the Surf Side Community, this picturesque property offers a tropical oasis experience. With four units connected like duplexes, a shared pool creates a serene atmosphere. The friendly groundskeeper and his assistant are always ready to assist. The road leading to the property is unpaved, so caution is advised. The beach is a short walk away–turn left, then right, then left again, and you're there. The dark sand may stick to you, but it's soft. We had the beach to ourselves most days. Not the greatest beach. The unit could use some updates, kitchen sink hardware is loose and the stove vent goes nowhere. The fridge is in good condition, but shelves are missing on the inside of the door. Bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed, and towels are plentiful. Our host, Tony, was exceptional. He promptly responded to our questions and offered suggestions through WhatsApp. Overall, the property provided a comfortable stay for our family. With its amenities and proximity to stunning beaches, it made for an unforgettable vacation.

Paradise!
I cannot begin to express just how incredible our stay at Stef Surf El Tucan was! From the moment we stepped foot into this lush, tropical oasis, we knew we were in for a treat. The attention to detail and high-end furnishings in El Tucan left us feeling like we were staying in a luxury resort, yet with the added benefit of complete privacy. Each evening, we eagerly made our way to the beach, a short 3 minute walk, to witness the mesmerizing colours of the setting sun painting the sky in hues of gold and pink. It was truly a magical experience. The unit itself is thoughtfully designed with beautiful outdoor spaces that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of the surrounding nature. The master bedroom was a peaceful haven, with the gentle sound of waves breaking on the beach and bird signing. My sleep in the primary room was incredible. The cozy living and dining area, hammocks and daybeds, and the refreshing pool with a jacuzzi all contributed to making our stay exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable. We were provided with everything we needed for our stay, from beach chairs and umbrellas to comfortable linens and a well stocked kitchen – they really thought of everything! I must mention the caring and attentive caretaker, Francisco, who is truly wonderful. Stef Surf El Tucan has set the bar high for future vacation rentals and we will be dreaming about it until our return! If you're seeking an unforgettable getaway, look no further!

Roomy, nicely appointed and convenient to a lot of great beaches
Great last unit in a group of 4. Playa Potrero is a short walk away. Other cool beaches such as Danita and Conchal are a short drive and hike. Nice location if you want a quiet, uncrowded get away.
