Place was great, we especially enjoyed Pinta the horse and Foxy Lady, the dog

Our group of 9 (two families) enjoyed our stay. The house was very spacious and clean. We loved hearing the howler monkeys in the AM and had everything that we needed in the home. Perfect place for a beach stay.

Great spot, clean, comfortable, spacious and private. Jennifer is an excellent host, quick response times and very helpful recommendations.

Our family of 8 stayed at this property for 9 nights and enjoyed it very much. Some general comments and information. 1. The house is exactly 1 mile from the beach down a dirt road so you can walk it in 15-20 minutes or drive it in about 4 minutes. The beach is uncrowded and has great waves. 2. The bedrooms all have air conditioning while the main floor has ceiling fans. It was very hot during our time there (mid 90sF). Even so with the ceiling fans running and the windows and doors open the heat was never oppressive though some floor or table top fans would be an appreciated addition. We did run the A/C every night in our BRs. 3. The pool is very nice and stays at a comfortable temperature. As mentioned by other reviewers there is a constant battle to keep leaves out of the pool. I never minded skimming the pool but it is just something to realize that you will need to contend with. Also the owner had someone come by to clean the pool and monitor the chlorine but even more visits would be helpful to maintain the pool in optimal condition. Regardless it was never a big issue for us and we enjoyed it immensely. 4. The house has a small zipline. It is very basic but still lots of fun for the kids. The platform you start from though is a bit rickety so just be careful on it. 5. The roads in this area of Costa Rica are gravel with lots of washboard areas and can be aggravating. In trade for that aggravation though there is much less congestion. While we would have like to have better roads for our family it was a worthwhile trade to stay out of the craziness of Tamarindo. 6. The owner Jennifer is wonderful. She is always willing to help and offer guidance. She recommended a horseback ride (Guti tours which I highly recommend), zip lines (Pura Aventura which I also highly recommend) and other attractions. She is always willing to help you in any way. 7. We also hired Ana (per Jennifer's recommendation) to cook and clean for us several days. She is friendly and only charges around $4.15/hr (though we always paid her more because she did great). She only speaks Spanish but with my limited Spanish and Google translate we got by. She was willing to walk to the house but we always gave her a ride. In the end, there are a few improvements that the owner could make to make the home even better (which I will email her) but we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home and would high recommend it to others. Pura Vida!
