Casa Carrillo, Carrillo Beach, Guanacaste

Located about a mile and a half outside Playa Carrillo Beach, tucked away in a small community. This place offers peace and serenity for those searching for it. The backyard is a peaceful oasis offering a wonderful plunge pool, hammocks, charcoal and gas barbecue grills, plenty of seating for as many as 12 or more. The inside is spacious and quaint. It's like a little mountain Casita with some modern features. You have the option for open air concept here or you can use two of the mini splits they have on hotter days. Host is extremely responsive. The property is clean and well maintained. Maid service is offered as part of the package. I strongly encourage you bring a car. If you are not using a car there is a local cab driver named Jabier; the host will have his contact info. If you do get a chance to meet Jabier, he makes and sells some of the best of ceviche we've had in all of Costa Rica.We spent a total of 13 days here and it was absolutely what we needed to recharge before going home. The beach is small and beautiful and not crowded. There are food vendors across from the beach. There are multiple grocery stores and there is a carneceria in town. Leyenda hotel offers a restaurant open to the public that has a massive variety. This is definitely staying on our list of repeats. What a hidden little gem!

All good

Host was great and pool was wonderful. House was comfortable and in a great neiborhood. Plenty of dishes and cooking items for us.

We were a bit disappointed with this property compared to others we had been to, the home is a bit dark and has patio furniture for the dining room table. Also the doors were a bit hard to open and the second bathroom can only be accessed externally (not big deal for us since it was just us 2, but worth knowing for others). The backyard was our favorite part, the pool was lovely and outdoor seating area. The bedrooms had AC which was a huge plus. The host Danny was easy to reach and interact with.
