Greatly enjoyed our stay in early March at Casa Lapa - Steve was an attentive and gracious host. Could add friends and family with the other casitas in his complex. Easy access to Playa Pelada (short trail to beach) was a highlight and made for great beach outings. Afternoon pool dips were a refreshing break from the heat. Found the casita and its open floor plan comfortable for the 3 of us, and our 11 year old sun loved having the loft -- a/c, beds, kitchen, hot water worked fine and loved the outdoor shower and deck. Wildlife sounds abound (ex. howler monkeys, macaws) - we enjoyed and slept like rocks, but if you're sensitive to sounds, would bring white noise. Neat house and furniture of local tropical hardwoods crafted by Steve, and house and grounds were clean and well kept. Check other rental site for reviews. Walked to most places and took tuk-tuks when needed. If you're thinking of renting a vehicle, would take shuttle (Steve arranged) from Liberia and then rent car/atv/electric bike in Pelada or Guiones. We looked at Guiones to stay, but glad we picked Pelada -- thought it was quieter and nicer beach. Took a couple of tours and went to Guiones for market day, but mostly enjoyed the beach -- had fun fishing off beach, snorkeling, birding (aviary across the road has the "lapas" or scarlet macaws), and exploring beach trails to Guiones and Rio Nosara. Would definitely repeat!
