We were in CR for a month and stayed here for five days. We loved the quiet gated community with a pool and plenty of wildlife. The villa was perfect for us with just a short drive to several beaches and markets. Mary has the house fully stocked to make your beach experience easy for travelers; beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels etc. Our favorite part was watching the monkeys and macaws out by the pool in the evenings. We highly recommend this for those with their own transportation and the desire to be out of the crowds.

It's a nice little place with all the amenities listed. Our family of 4 just wanted to go to the beach for the day and this was a great option as it is close to playa mantas and playa blanca. Chris, the property manager, was very helpful and even gave us some tips on where to park for our trip to the beach. The only criticism we have is that the sofa bed is not comfortable and cannot fit anyone over five foot six. We were hoping to use it for our teenage son but instead he had to share the bed with his sibling which wasn't much fun for him. Apart from that, it was a nice place to stay.

Great quiet location for exploring the area. The condo had everything we needed, and was super clean when we arrived. Both Mary and property manager Chris were responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We'd definitely stay here again!

The place was ideal between San Jose and Manuel Antonio. Recommend getting new sheets and cleaning window sills of dead bugs. Beautify butterflies, humming birds and iguanas were observed. The waterfall on the pool didn’t work- but we were happy enough with the one night stay.
