"Do not miss this opportunity! Antonio and Carmen are as nice as it comes, the house is amazing…the howler monkeys…the evening rain storms and the peaceful atmosphere is wonderful. The part that really sets it apart though is location. Easy to get to Liberia…other beach areas and being outside of the business of Tamarindo truly make it a vacation. All in all, a special experience. Thank you to Antonio and Carmen for making our trip truly Pura Vida!"

"This home is very nicely located and a special place to spend a week in Costa Rica. It has everything you need and plenty of space and comfort. Pretty safe as well with a community gate as well as a gate for the home itself. About an hour and twenty minutes from Liberia airport, it was the perfect setup for a relaxing week. And the supermarket is roughly 10-15min away and had everything you'd need. Overall, we had an amazing time at the home and the hosts were VERY responsive and detailed at all...

It was homey, clean, secure, filled with wildlife, and let me just say I think I may have taken the best naps of my life on those hammocks.
