Dec 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay at this property. Very private, and a short drive to Playa Junquillal (which we loved). Beatrice was a wonderful host and responsive to any questions we had. Directions to the house were clear and accurate. Kitchen had everything we needed. Three AC units all functioned well. The outdoor shower is an amazing feature! Totally different from busy, heavily-touristed areas like Tamarindo.

Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Real Costa Rica Hideaway You will experience the real Costa Rica tucked away not far from Paraiso and Playa Junquillal. Clean and a little like being in a tree house, you have a quiet relaxing home to stay in. Host is amazing and friendly! You will need a car as the beach is about 5 minutes away. Great place to stay if you are hoping to explore different beaches and areas in Gunacaste. 5-75 minutes away from various beaches and more touristy areas.Outdoor shower was amazing! Choose to stay here if you are looking for somewhere off the beaten path and away from the tourist hub of Tamarindo. ##### Olivia D.
