The home has a resort appeal if you are just wanting to relax and enjoy the beautiful pool and the outdoor kitchen with a view of the hills and mountains around you. Nice to take morning walks in the neighborhood after a good yoga stretch and warm up. "

"What a wonderful respite for our family. It was exactly as described in the ad. We spent 3 weeks in CR this year. We were looking for an authentic house in a town where we could relax and unwind. It is exactly what we asked for. The property was immaculate with beutiful landscaping and a prestine private pool. We woke up every morning and walked to the bakeries and markets for fresh food and visited the sodas in the afternoon. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of Jacoʻ or more popular...

"Pros: The pool was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our stay. The view from the patio was beautiful and a great place to relax. The bathrooms were really nicely updated. The beach was nice as well. Cons: The doorknobs and window locks need serious upgrades. The hallway bathroom window lock was broken and the window was open (with no screen). I found the screw on the window sill and screwed it back in place to have the lock work again. The patio sliding door knobs felt like they were about...

"This property was built exactly as the pictures show. You can hear the ocean waves with the doors and windows closed. There is an A/C wall unit in each room and not in the open living space. The breeze blows through the house well with the windows open. This is how it was when I arrived. The waves and breeze, just beautiful. There is obvious natural wear and tear inside and outside of the property that is not shown in the pictures; loungers in the pool missing paint, rusting on metals inside due...

"Our stay at this beautiful house in Punta Leona was absolutely perfect! The location was ideal, offering stunning ocean views and being just a short 4-minute drive by golf cart or car to the beach. We felt very secure with security guards stationed at multiple points throughout the property. The house was impeccably clean, with ocean views from three of the rooms exactly as shown in the listing photos. We opted not to book the optional apartment and found the house spacious enough for our...

"We enjoyed Mary’s place very much. The small gated community allowed us to visit with Dani and Barbara who were also staying in the complex. So wonderful to get advice for excursions from other visitors. Chris who helped us with our arrival was beyond helpful. Chris was responsive and very willing to answer all my questions as quickly as he can. Mary, the owner was very flexible and caring. The location was perfect as our two favorite beaches, Playa Blanca and Playa Pita , were 10 minutes to...

"We enjoyed staying at Casa Mango. True to it's name, there are mangos hanging off the big tree ready to eat or as we did, make mango margaritas! Josh is an excellent host and his girlfriend, Mariela, is an great cook. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast (gallo pinto/eggs), fab dinner (Arroz con Pollo) and the best pina coladas ever! The river/estuary views are every changing with the tides. Overall, it's a hidden paradise in a typical Costa Rican neighborhood."

"The first impression of this very unique house was pure excitement. Loved the unusual layout and the perfect views from every angle. Lots of opportunities to see the Flora and Fauna that Costa Rica has to offer. Spent a lot of time on the Casita terrace to watch Motmot, Hummingbirds, Butterflies, and even a white faced monkey. As an alert to future residents: If you are dependent on reliable wi-fi, this is not a good location. Personally, I would also like to see a much more upscale pool,...

"The house was gorgeous and was exactly what was reported. The pool was incredible and the views were spectacular! The place was secluded which gave us opportunity to see and hear the birds, monkeys and frogs. The only downside is the 3.5mile gravel road to get there. It was rough and took us about 20 minutes to get to it once we left the main road. "
