John, the owner, was very helpful with all of the preparations. The house, location, and pool are as beautiful as advertised. The staff was wonderful. We reserved the meal preparation services and were not disappointed. Delicious! Definitely pay for the food stock or come fully supplied with chow. The house is, to quote our local shuttle driver, really, really far away. From San Juan, it is an hour's drive down a maintained dirt road and another 30 minutes along winding up and down 4x4. None of the roads are well marked and we would never have found the place without our local driver from Adelante Express. We reserved pangas from the local town Pochote that motored us up to Playa Coco and Escameca. That was fun. We did not reserve a 4x4 vehicle in advance and had difficulty getting one in San Juan. It is nice to drive up to Playa la Flor or Coco or Escameca for a day. But traveling any further North was a drag. We went to San Juan one day just for kicks. Plan on lounging around this beautiful home a plenty.

Without a doubt, the house and surrounding views are spectacular. And Veronica, Jose and Lester treated us like family ... they really made sure we were well taken care of. We had delicious meals, and Veronica was extremely accommodating for any special meal requests (which we appreciated with two young kids).
The pros: rugged beauty, plenty of hiking opportunities, phenomenal sunsets and views of Costa Rica across the bay, lots of downtime for relaxing, fishing trip (including an escort by a pod of 10+ dolphins and successful catch of white tuna), fresh lobster and seafood prepared nightly by Veronica, delicious traditional breakfasts, turtle watching on the private beach and a bonfire.
The cons: As others have stated, the house is very remote and on very bumpy dirt roads. If you are an adventurous sort, this is a great experience; but if you like more creature comforts, you might consider somewhere less remote. The biggest drawback for us was the military stop that we had to go through on the road to and from the house each time we left to explore other nearby areas. We were consistently hassled, and it was an unsettling experience, to say the least.

My family and I stayed at villa paraiso for one entire month. We have two young children (1 and 3 three at the time) and they just loved it. The view of Costa Rica from the house is absolutely priceless. We would spend our days walking on the beach, and really relaxing. The house is super comfortable, every bedroom has a private bathroom, the kitchen is well equipped and there are toys for children including everything they need to play on the beach. The staff is very nice and helpful and can cook for you whenever you want….We had so much time on our hands, we decided to bake our own bread and cook most of the time! Access to the beach is quite challenging and I would definitely not recommend this place for people with low mobility. The road to get to the house is also quite a challenge and not for everyone, you need a 4X4 vehicle to get there and the 30Km from the house to San Juan del Sur take about one hour. There are lovely beaches to go to in the area including Playa Coco and the surfing beaches near San Juan and of course, lots of fishing to do – we went with a local fisherman and that was really cool – we saw dolphins in the sunset….again, priceless! To buy food, go to Rivas, the supermarket there is very good compared to the one in San Juan.

Our family of five stayed at Casa de los Sueños DEC 22-29. This home is located in a beautifully remote area about 6 km from the Costa Rica border. The house features loads of space, nice grounds and pool, with friendly and very helpful staff. Veronica and her helpers do an amazing job. Alberto (Jose and Veronica’s nephew) keeps the pool spotless twice per day.
The road to the house is steep, bumpy and rutted- kind of fun in a 4WD, but time consuming. Even though we stayed at the casa during the "dry" season, we had rain on 6 of 7 nights (unusual for the area), making the road slick and difficult even with a 4WD vehicle. A high-clearance (you cross two streams to get to the casa) 4 wheel drive vehicle was a must.
The location was lovely and peaceful. The views of Costa Rica across the Bahia de Salinas are amazing. If you head towards the village of El Pochote, one can catch nice views of volcanoes Orosi and Rincon de la Vieja in Costa Rica. Bath towels were fluffy and abundant. The bed linens were also very good quality. The kitchen was disappointing. Though billed as fully equipped, it wasn’t. The twin ovens were not working, so for Christmas dinner we made do with a toaster oven for cooking. There was no microwave, no dishwasher,no garbage disposal. The clothes washer and dryer were not operating properly. For short periods we had no bathing water in the house. Be aware that you will probably experience electricity outages. Be prepared by buying matches and making sure you know where the electric lanterns / flashlights are at night. There were candles in the house, but no matches. There is no DVD player in the house, but there was a nice selection of DVDs.
Access to the nice private crescent-shaped beach below and just north of the house was both hazardous and inconvenient. A non-stainless steel (!) stairway to the beach is completely rusted through and impassable. This necessitates one having to take the path to the south, invading the privacy of the residents of the adjacent house. Be aware that several of the wooden steps on that path are loose and hazardous.
Fun activities were plentiful- horseback trip to CR (Alberto expertly guided), fishing with Joey, surfing, turtle hatches at Playa La Flor. Try baked goods at "Pan de Vida" in SJDS! Puesta del Sol restaurant in Coco excellent.
