PLAYA AVELLANAS TREE HOUSE

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (212)
"The Host Ben is very responsive and kind. I wanted to experience living among the Ticos and we loved it. This place is unique and cozy for the 4 of us girls. There are some minor upgrades needed but we are so easygoing that it was not a bother. We survived a huge thunderstorm and no power for just a couple hours. The property has 2 cats. Also each bedroom has air conditioning and we enjoyed Netflix in the evening. This area is definitely a surf town and several restaurants walking distance....

"What a beautiful property. After finding it in the dark we were so pleasantly surprise.We were a group of 7 56 year old grade school friends that stayed a week in this lavish casa. The layout with two levels and 4 rooms was perfect. So many places to sit and watch the waves and sunsets. Huge kitchen to cook in with 2 refrigerators and freezer with the ice maker came in handy. Gama greeted us as we arrived and helped us unload our bags. Waking up each morning with the howler monkeys in the...

Paradise in a secluded ocean view villa(private pool/hiking trails)

8.4 out of 10, Very good, (6)
"I feel this property is misleading. First, there is no beach, not for miles. I couldn't see the ocean but it was cloudy. My idea of a resort is not this. Maps don't bring you here easily. Its minimally maintained gravel roads that cross creeks and ruts and need 4wd to get up the hills. You are 20 minutes from a paved road out in the middle of nowhere. We only stayed 1 night out of 7 because of all the insect activity. Travelocity deemed itvan infestation after contacting them with pictures of...
