The Breakhouse was amazing. It was truly home away from home and a great jumping point for exploring Costa Rica. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee where we were greeted every day by our resident howler monkeys, humming birds, white winged doves, grackles and the beautiful family of 4 Macaws. Getting to know the very friendly locals running the amazing nearby restaurants was a bonus; Pura Vida indeed!

We really enjoyed the luxury of a clean and comfortable home in a safely gated neighborhood with all the amenities while getting the authentic experience of being just 30 mins outside the touristy town of Tamarindo. Nestled in a lush environment with monkeys, beautiful birds and lovely tropical landscape. Close enough to beach with great surfing and 3 of the most amazing restaurants nearby! Tried all the dining and adventure recommendations provided by the owner in the house website…they were spot on! We loved them all! A unique and fantastic family vacation.

I highly recommend staying at The Breakhouse in Playa Avellanas! The accommodations were fantastic and I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else. After talking to other travelers we realized just how lucky we were to be in such a safe, clean, and beautiful place. We were close to the beach, had a pool just steps away from the house, wildlife all around. It was also an easy drive to many other towns and activities.

We had a great time staying here! House was very clean and had everything you needed for cooking, doing laundry and going to the beach. We will come back again!
