We had another wonderful time. Our family loves Casa Velas for its location, outdoor facilities, the two buildings, and the amazing meals that Veronica & Ashley prepared for us. The location is unique-7.5 acres on a quiet & stunningly beautiful four-mile beach perfect for surfing, boogie boarding, long beach walks or runs, or exploring creatures living in the tidal eco-system.
The very large outdoor pool is almost mandatory for our three-generations who love to jump in it. It’s next to a spacious pavilion with a hammock, L-shaped couch and cushioned chairs inviting people to read or nap, a long table for communal meals or games, and a grill. There’s still another covered eating/playing area in the lush vegetation between the living room and the short path to the beach. There’s plenty of space for large groups to spread out everywhere for sports, games, talking, eating, and napping. The 5 bedrooms with ACs split between the main house and a 2 story guest house provide families opportunities to be together but have private spaces.
Most important for our happiness and the feeling of a real vacation was that Vero and Ashley prepared incredible meals (feasts really) for us daily. It was such a treat to not cook & to have authentic Costa Rican cuisine. We were overwhelmed as they placed photo-shoot ready platters of delicious foods on the huge table. Beyond her food prep job, Veronica generously offered very warm & caring help when we needed it. We will be back.
