Casa 48· Poolside Relaxing Retreat Near the Beach

Highly recommend this property! We, as a family of 6 (one being a child) thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. The setting is truly special, waking up to monarch butterflies, iguanas and vibrant macaws. In the evenings taking in monkeys, sloths, and a variety of other birds right in the backyard was unforgettable. The location is another highlight. The house is within a comfortable 15min walking distance to the small village (albeit no sidewalk, we simply ensured we were facing the cars and off the road), where you’ll find a beautiful beach, beachfront restaurant, local sodas, surf lessons and a small corner store. It is a great balance of quiet, privacy and convenience. Guests should note the beach has strong currents and speak with locals who know it best.A minor point, there was no basic cleaning supplies available for simple self cleaning during the stay (they do offer calling in a cleaner for pay for a minimum of four hours). All in all an absolute wonderful property!

This was the perfect property in every way. Our family had an amazing experience at this location. Perfectly situated 20 minutes from Jaco and an hour from Manuel Antonio. Nestled in a safe housing community of wonderful people. Pool was epic, house was spotless and clean. Danny and Kyle were fantastic hosts, helping with activities and information . I highly recommend this to anyone wishing for a safe and beautiful stay!

We recently stayed at this property and had a great experience with a few notable highlights and some areas for improvement. The Good: • Wildlife in the Backyard: We were thrilled to see sloths, monkeys, and a variety of birds right in the backyard. It felt like our own private nature reserve! • Swim-Up Bar in the Pool: The swim-up bar was a fantastic feature and added a fun, resort-like vibe to our stay. • Helpful Property Management: The property management team was very helpful and responsive to our needs throughout our stay. • Washer and Dryer Available: Having a washer and dryer on-site was incredibly convenient and made our stay much more comfortable. The Bad: • Distance to the Beach: The listing mentioned that the beach was a 10-minute walk, but it actually took us 20 minutes. Additionally, the walk was along a main road with no sidewalks, making it necessary to rent a car for safer and more convenient transportation. • Bedding Needs Updating: The bedding is in need of an update. It felt quite worn and not as comfortable as we had hoped. • Lack of Pillows: There was a noticeable lack of pillows, which affected our overall comfort during the stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but believe these improvements would make the experience even better for future guests.

The house was great. The pool and backyard was fantastic. The walk to the beach takes about 10 minutes but it’s worth the walk. We were very happy with our stay and the property manager Mirla was very attentive to our needs. Arranging messages, recommending restaurants and helping us with transportation. Highest rating !
