We just got home from a month stay in this AMAZING house. We could not have asked for more. The house has all the amenities and has a spectacular view from every room. It is just steps from the beach and a short drive to lots of surf spots. The property manager Jarrod and his wife were so nice and available for anything we needed.

Splitting times between the pool and mainly playa negra and playa avellanas. This place is so beautifully decorated that sitting anywhere inside or outside is a main part of the vacation. The house was fully equipped with everything that we could possibly need. I greatly recommend Casa Dewey Pacifica. We had an incredible time here and will be back for sure. ##### Joseph k. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irma V.

Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S., Ohio Feb 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home on Playa Negra Casa Dewey Pacifica is a beautifully maintained home in a lesser crowded area of Costa Rica. The home itself six just north of the play a Negra hotel. The beach directly in front of the house is rocky but you can walk about 100 yards towards the hotel to find a nice sandy spot. The way to get here is on some bumpy gravel roads but once here you can’t find just about whatever you need at the small markets. The surrounding restaurants are good. Casa Deveena is the best. It is truly gourmet. Jarrod is the property manager and he is very available Any issue we had he took care of quite readily. He is able to make some suggestions that were also quite helpful. Be sure and have WhatsApp. It makes it quite easy to communicate. Overall, our stake could not have been nicer. ##### Scott S. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew U.

The house and it's location couldn't have been better. We can't wait to make another trip back. Two families with 4 adults and 4 kids had more than enough room. Playa Negra is also a lovely community. It's small, but has a surprising amount of good restaurants and is easy to navigate. Jarrod and Meaghan were excellent hosts and made things easy for us. ##### Andrew U. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica F. Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful House in a Beautiful Setting The house is just as beautiful as the pictures with 4 large bedrooms and an extra large bedroom on the bottom floor. All have their own full baths. There are 2 dens. A stocked kitchen with indoor and outdoor seating. There are also tons of books, games and movies. The infinity pool is wonderful. It gets deep quickly so it's for good swimmers. Outdoor shower and foot-washing station. An outdoor bathroom making the total actually 8. The path to the beach is short with lots of sand, rock and tide pools to investigate. The property managers were also very responsive suggesting zip lining, snorkeling and fishing tours. I highly recommend. ##### Jessica F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee S. May 8, 2019 #### Great home at the beach !

We were very happy with everything and needed nothing else. A great experience! ##### Renee S. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori V. Apr 11, 2019 #### Really Gorgeous Home! This house is so lovely! What a wonderful find, the house is maintained, furnished and decorated really beautifully, everything custom and high end. The huge kitchen is the most well equipped I have ever found in a vacation rental. The view is spectacular, the beach and pool perfect for family fun. Our family of 12 included 6 children, and everyone was so happy. A really nice feature is that every bedroom had a luxurious en suite bathroom. There was even an outside bathroom for the pool area. We would absolutely stay at this house again, could not find a nicer one. The manager, Jarrod, was extremely nice to work with, very responsive and pleasant. Last year we rented the spectacular house next door, but we all enjoyed this one even more. The air conditioning worked really well, and in that hot humid climate it's a real bonus. You will not be disappointed in this vacation home! ##### Lori V. Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason F. Apr 1, 2019 #### Surfers paradise with fun for everyone! Great views, beach and house. 4 adults, 4 young teens and a young grandma - house was perfect. Meaghan and Jarrod are there to help with everything. Alexandria was our breakfast / lunch cook, can’t reccomend her enough. We surfed, boarded, swam, zipped, went after Sails with Captain Lee, took the boat tour and did a lot of eating. Went to Deevena’s twice that’s how good it is!! Dean and Patrick treated us so well. Got to hit Lola’s on the beach for lunch. La Ventura catered in an awesome meal! Javier for surfing was perfect and very flexible. Jalapeños for tacos is a must do as well. Auto Mercado in Tamarindo is the place for groceries. Be prepared for a rough 30 minute drive to get into Tamarindo. The house is really perfect for a large group. Pool and view are incredible. Come here for the Ocean and everything else will delight!! Beach is right out back. About 200 yards for perfect sand. Do rent a bigger vehicle, the roads are drivable, but a sedan isn’t going to get you around. Do use Meaghan and Jarrod, they take care of everything and make your stay perfection! ##### Jason F. Stayed 12 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn K. Mar 19, 2019 #### Amazing Villa! We stayed here with a group of 14 (8 adults and 6 kids) and it was fantastic. The house is beautiful and was perfect for our group. Each couple had there own bedroom with en-suite and the kids all shared the downstairs room with bunk beds. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and Jarrod and Meaghan answered any questions we had throughout the week. The sunset views from the pool were a highlight every day. Lots of room outside to sit in the sun or in the shade when it got too hot. Coffee on the balconies in the morning was also fantastic. The beach is right there and was very quiet, we had a surfing lesson and also rented boogie boards for the week. We were already talking about coming back. Jarrod and Meaghan organized in house catering which was great, plus a chef to cook us an amazing meal one night. It will be a vacation none of us will easily forget. Thanks for everything, hope to come back soon. ##### Lynn K. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug L. Feb 8, 2019 #### Great property. Perfect hosts. the property was perfect for our group and fit the online description. Casa Dewey is set directly on the ocean and somewhat off the beaten path so a rental car will enhance your stay. Jarrod and Meaghan were fantastic hosts and were very responsive in every way to make our stay memorable. We highly reccommend Casa Dewey. ##### Doug L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephanie b. Jan 20, 2019 #### Amazing property and great location! We were a group of 10 adults traveling from 4 points of origin in the US to spend the holidays together in beautiful Costa Rica. Casa Dewey was a fantastic property with beautiful views, located in a quiet coastal village, yet close enough to Tamarido for shopping/dining. The home is well appointed with nice linens, towels and everything you would need in a kitchen. We enjoyed meals on the balcony, time by the pool and on the beach. Meaghan even provided a beautiful driftwood Christmas Tree for our celebration. We wanted a couple of dinners catered and Meaghan suggested several good choices. We opted for Pura Vida Catering and they nailed it! The spiny lobster was amazing! The house is well maintained and the few small issues we experienced were quickly resolved. The house accommodated our large group while still allowing us our separate spaces and privacy as needed. We have rented numerous HomeWay/VRBO properties in the US and foreign countries and Casa Dewey is our favorite! Thank you Meaghan and Jarrod! Stephanie & Wayne from California ##### stephanie b. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joan g., Berlin, CT Jan 5, 2019 #### Spectacular! We brought our whole family (grandparents to the littelest who is 6 years old). The stay was unbelievable. House was more impressive in person and the view was simply breath taking every day! If you are looking to escape this place is your answer. It is a cool surfer community, very laid back and beaches are stunning. Meaghan and Jarrod were the best hosts ever and helped us with every adventure the entire week. We used them to book zip lining, massages, fishing trips and catering. All were top notch. My suggestion to anyone is to make sure you find the right grocery store for shopping (automercado) because they are not all equal :(. Also we found that the car rentals from the airport had more options for 4 wheel drive which is highly recommended for this area. Costa Rica has left a lasting impression on us all. ##### joan g.

Apr 4, 2017 #### Perfection We stayed at Casa Dewey Pacifica with three other couples in March, 2017. The house was perfect - there was plenty of space for all of us, great kitchen, lovely pool and an amazing beach. The beds were comfortable, there were beach towels provided and plenty of outdoor seating. Our communications with Jarrod and Meaghan were excellent right from the time of booking - they responded quickly to any questions, gave great advice on shopping and restaurants and responded immediately to any questions we had when we were there. There is a great beach bar within walking distance and quite a few good restaurants nearby. There is a great grocery store in Playa Negra that we didn't find until later in the week - we drove by it a few times but it looked like it was closed but once you go in, you realize they have almost everything you need and it is very close by. In addition to the beach bar at Hotel Playa Negra, check out Lola's and the pizza place in Playa Negra. We also had two meals catered at the house which was very nice as well. Definitely a 5 star vacation. ##### brian a. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bethany B. Mar 30, 2017 #### Beach Front Paradise Casa Dewey was paradise! We stayed with a group of four couples and this house met all our needs! We enjoyed having large rooms with our own bathrooms while having several different group meeting places that we could play games and share meals together. Relax inside in the cool air or outside on the patio with the heat and refreshing pool, you pick! House comes with all the necessities to make you feel at home and welcome, even entertaining a nice sized library. Stunning views of the ocean and sunset. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We also enjoyed having coffee on the stone bench overlooking the ocean! I did my morning yoga there as well. House and grounds are kept and cleaned during your stay. We stayed during the dry season so no monkeys, but did have beautiful birds that joined us as we laid by the pool. Located in a quiet surfing town with absolutely fantastic restaurants. Everywhere we ate we had good food! Great hosts that made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Casa Dewey was the perfect place to balance both relaxation and adventure. Wish we could have stayed another week! ##### Bethany B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evan L. Jan 25, 2017 #### The Pictures Don't do the House Justice! A group of 10 of us stayed at Castillo del Mar for a week. Not one of us had a negative thing to say. The entire house, set up, and views were unbelievable. This was truly one of the best trips we have been on. Jarrod and Meaghan were so helpful throughout the process and never hesitated answering any question (trust me, I asked a lot) that I had. If you are driving from the airport, it is not the easiest to find, but once you get there, it is worth the journey! The house was clean and all ready for us upon our arrival. The kitchen has been renovated (pictures on the website need updating). Nothing beats the sunset from the top floor terrace, and star gazing up there was a whole new level, stunning. You will not be disappointed with the house! ##### Evan L. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harmony Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Harmony-Hotel.h1707049.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Capitan-Suizo-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel.h1140010.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Acacia](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Acacia.h18529330.Hotel-Information) > > [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Catalinas Doorway](https://www.expedia.ca/Tempate-Hotels-Las-Catalinas-Collection.h11046448.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
