Espectacular View!
The house has amazing views and the manager is super attentive and willing to help in anything we needed. Great service. The only thing I would say is that the home needs a bit of maintenance. But overall had a great stay! A 4x4 is definitely suggested.

Unique Costa Rica Experience
Views from the property are amazing. We loved the indoor-outdoor pool/living on the main floor. Saw toucans every morning and evening. WiFi was excellent and kitchen well stocked. Wonderful place to enjoy sunsets. Recommend a 4x4 to reach the property. Such a great getaway!

Great house!
Beautiful home with terrific views. Perfect place to relax and take in the pacific coast. Pretty steep drive so we were wishing we had 4 wheel drive but luckily it never rained so we did ok.
