"The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day!

Luxurious villa with panoramic views and breathtaking private infinity pool !!!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (72)
"The home is accurately represented in the photos. Very comfortable for our family. The pool area is outstanding. The mornings are filled with chirping birds, and sometimes the sound of a howler monkey you can spot in the trees off to the right. Also an adult and baby monkey. The location is quiet and away from the crowds from Tamarindo which can be both a plus and a minus. The grounds are pristine and I did yoga and swam laps in the pool in the mornings. We used Alvaro the driver recommended by...

SAMARA - Stunning 2 bedroom House 15 min from the Beach.

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (33)
"We loved our stay at this beautiful house- it has all modern amenities you would ever need. The communication was super easy, as was the check in- it was very easy to find the house with the directions and google maps. We loved that the house was secluded, super quiet and close to many different beaches. We did not love Sámara, as it was very crowded and touristy, but we loved that this house was close to go to several other amazing beaches. Would definitely stay again!!"

"We had an absolutely fabulous vacation at this private, quiet, secluded home in Junquillal. The property was immaculately clean and well stocked. The caretakers were helpful and accessible, but we almost never saw them. Their dog is absolutely fabulous and well behaved and I miss him already!The view is unbeatable. The beachwas so much fun… Tide pools and shells and. Stunning views. The stairs are steep, but were not an issue for us. We can't wait to go back!"

Beach Front Home with pool and Breathtaking Ocean views!!

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (50)
"The pictures on line are older, and do not reflect present conditions. We enjoyed our stay, great location. BUT, the place badly needs to be updated and is not well maintained. Just a lot of little things. The biggest problem was that the host was not truthful when asked about the hot tub. I specifically asked if it was working (because of earlier reviews) and was told it was working, it was not, probably has not worked in awhile, the pump motor is buried in sand. We loved the wildlife, howler...

"This house is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. Marbella is a pretty town with a small market but not many places to eat. We loved the Tiki Hut which is a short drive, on isolated and black sand Marbella Beach! The bedrooms are air conditioned and the open air house has constant breezes. Unfortunately there was a problem with the water heater and oven during our stay but we spent a lot of time in the pool having fun. There is a charcoal grill but bring supplies because the local markets...

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

4.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (533)
"Azura was a beautiful and peaceful resort with a great beach and wonderfully friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation there and would recommend it to others. That said, the resort as a whole was short-staffed, which resulted in some longer wait times for food and drinks - not a deal breaker, just room for improvement. Also, given Costa Rica is known for its coffee, the coffee at the resort was subpar. Again, just room for improvement, but still a wonderful experience. "
