The property was just as described. We had plenty of room for all the kids.(15-22). The idea of walking to the beach right in front of our house was perfect. The property manager was at available and courteous and friendly. We plan to return soon. A really nice home from home with everything you could need. The locals got to know us quickly we made runs to the grocery store not more than three blocks away. Great restaurants within walking distance next time definitely getting a golf cart, would’ve made it easier to go down to the main strip, definitely a fun vacation spot!

This place was beyond expectations. There are beds and rooms for just about any sized family and the kitchen and social areas have seating for large groups to gather. There are so many places on the property to relax and enjoy vacationing beachside. The beach is just outside the gate and the hosts were so accommodating. It’s far enough away that you are away from crowds of beach-goers, yet the shops, restaurants, bars and breweries downtown are only a minute drive or a 10-15 minute walk down the beach. Selfishly I’d rather not write a review hoping this place is available next time I’d like to vacation, but this property was too perfect not to share.

We had a great stay at this rental on the beach in Costa Rica. The host was very helpful and we loved the open air kitchen and living area. The air conditioned bedrooms made for very comfortable sleeping conditions. Highly recommended!

Perfect location and outdoor amenities for a relaxing time on the beach. The beds were very firm, but everything was clean and beautiful.

This property is beautiful and the onsite managers were great however, if you are expecting a private, quiet experience right on the beach, this is not what you get. This property is right on the beach just as it states which is great, but right outside of the fence that separates this property from the public beach is a great grassy area that is apparently NOT part of this property. It is the only grassy area on the beach so kids, families, etc. who are on the beach park themselves literally right outside of the fence between the house and the beach. There is no privacy on the property as people are playing games, music and having a blast basically on the property (even though it is actually right outside the fence/shrubs). The fence does have barbed wire and a pad lock to help, I suppose, keep people from coming in the gate. One of the nights we were there, there was a full on party going on just outside of the gate with loud music and it was impossible to fall asleep. If I would have known it was going to be noisy and not a private experience I would not have booked this property. By private I mean I know its a public beach so there are going to be people on the beach but the public beach starts right at the fence/shrubs that you see in the pictures. Obviously these pictures were taken when no one was on the beach. Our experience was that there were people in front of this house the entire time we were there except for early in the morning. I just wanted to let the next person know so that you know what to expect as far as noise and privacy. Other than that it is a nice rustic house with large rooms and plenty of beds. There is a lovely resort right next door so you can walk to get lunch, breakfast, dinner if you need to. The kitchen in this house is great so you many not need to go anywhere to eat. The outdoor sitting areas are huge. The property itself is nice and the communication is good. I just felt obligated to share what the atmosphere is like which might be fine for some just not what we were looking for.

I liked being on the water and hearing the waves crash on the beach. Property is a little dated and needs an infusion of cash to update. Enjoyed the family pictures of long ago at this property.

Location, layout of house and setting made this place a great fit for a large family. Hard to beat. Right on ocean, wonderful beach. Splash pool was super nice option. More attention to detail such as dishwasher maintenance, light fixtures and trash removal would improve experience.

The location and 5 bedroom layout of Al Garete was great for our family group of 7 adults and 4 young kids. The kids loved the beach and the little pool at the villa. Nice clean linen and plenty of towels, including beach towels. Coco has a great selection of restaurants, including a few within a short walk. Also good grocery stores, and the villa is equipped for home cooking, including a good bbq. Security was not an issue, tho we were diligent about locking up when we were out. Also good to have the caretakers on site, and they were attentive to any issues we had.
