About this house rental
The house has a relaxed vibe, and you will feel you are in the tropics near the ocean. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out, over 3,200 sf in the house with open common spaces, and over 2/3 acres of beautiful grounds. It has AC throughout, a large pool, huge porch, hammocks, wildlife, hi-speed fiber wi-fi, tv, washer and dryer, and a very well-equipped kitchen. There is a full-time caretaker, who will take good care of you during your visit. It is a truly unique place, even in Costa Rica.
Casa Coral is three-minute walk to Playa Carrillo, which is a gem of a beach. It is a 2-mile crescent, with soft sand ringed by shady palm and tropical almond trees. There is no development on the beach, just shaved ice and coconut water available from pushcarts. It has a blue flag award for cleanliness. There is plenty of space to spread out. You can find waves suitable for children or adults, depending on the part of the beach you use, and the tides. We supply beach towels, and you can rent a shade tent and lounge chairs on the beach. Sunsets over the Pacific Ocean are magnificent.
Puerto Carrillo has a small-town feel. You will not have crowds or traffic, but everything you need is available. There are eight restaurants within a short walk of the house, as well as a supermarket/general store and liquor store. There are fishing, boating, horseback riding, hiking, zip-lining, atv rides and other tours available nearby. Samara, with surf schools, yoga, more restaurants, banks, nightlife and shopping, is ten minutes away. The roads to Carrillo are excellent. It is about two hours from Liberia and four hours plus from San Jose. If you want to get off the main roads, perhaps to explore nearby beaches like Barrigona, Nosara or Camaronal, or go to the scarlet macaw sanctuary, then you should rent 4WD.
There is a full-time caretaker on the premises, Jorge, who lives in a separate apartment. He cleans the outdoor areas daily, and is very helpful in many ways. He will welcome you with flower bouquets from our gardens, and a tropical fruit basket.
At Casa Coral, there is a partial ocean view from the porch and garden, filtered through magnificent guanacaste trees. You can hear the waves. After dark the pool and porch can remain lit for your enjoyment. If you turn off the lights, the stars are brilliant. You can relax on the shady porch or in the hammocks or pool, surrounded by the sounds of nature. The property is regularly visited by wildlife, including howler monkeys, scarlet macaws and other tropical birds, iguanas, etc. It is bordered on the south side by a small stream in a protected area, and it is elevated and set back from the street. Included extras are tripod-mounted spotting scope to view the wildlife, pool noodles, an outdoors shower next to the pool, and cable tv.
We are new on VRBO, but Casa Coral has been available for rent for a few years, and has had excellent reviews on other sites.

Large enough for two families

The house is well located near the beach and many restaurants. The outdoor patio and pool were very nice. Nice amount of birds and monkeys visited often. Kitchen is gigantic and well equipped. The care taker was helpful. Carrillo is quiet which we liked. The roads are gravel/sand and hilly. Not the best for 75 - 80 year old people. Beach is beautiful.

The property was fantastic for our needs (3 families of 4 people, with kids 11-14 yrs). We loved the location, the pool, the open kitchen and living areas, and the proximity to the beach. The house is charming and private, with lots of space for socializing and gathering. The kitchen is well-equipped and we cooked two evenings in a row. The beach is a short walk away and we went there twice a day. Don't miss the sunsets. I woke up early every morning to photograph birds and listen to the howler monkeys. Our hosts Ghary and Britt were very responsive and the caretaker Jorge was helpful and nice. We would definitely come back here to stay again. Muchas gracias! Pura vida!

We just spent a great week at Casa Coral! We were two families of 4 (4 adults and 4 teens). The house is spacious and exactly as listed. It’s not modern but has everything you need (dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, everything you need in the kitchen). House was clean, pool was great, lots of space inside and outside. The location can’t be beat - short walk to Playa Carrillo, small grocery stores and restaurants. A 10 min drive to Samara. Jorge, the caretaker, is a gem and brought us fresh fruit a couple of times throughout our stay. Both he and the hosts are very responsive to questions. Would recommend staying here!
