Wonderful oceanfront house, desolate beach and clear blue Pacific water. Saw lots of parrots, a family of monkeys and miles of coconut trees. The house was comfortable, adequately spacious, the owner and property manager immediately responsive.

We had a great time during our 9 days on Playa Seco. The house was better than the description and photos. Silvia was very helpful and some random guy driving by stopped and told us where we could watch baby Sea Turtles being released. Manual Antonio National Park is a must.
