Perfect for two couples, this setup ensures comfort, privacy, and space for long stays.
The house is very safe and secure. There's a guard on duty every evenings and nights. The house is also equipped of security cameras, safes, alarm systems and digital locks.

The charming beachside town of Esterillos Oeste is a short drive 20 minutes from Jaco and 40 minutes from Manuel Antonio. Although Jaco is only a short drive away, Esterillos Oeste remains quiet and peaceful with his 300 people. The town is surrounded mostly by patches of rice fields, grazing cattle, and thick tropical rainforest. Once you arrive in the modest town center near the beach, you will find a couple of small grocery stores, a few restaurants. Costa Ricans live in Esterillos Oeste, but there is also a sizeable population of ex-pats from USA and Canada including several living around the house.
Esterillos offers stunning views of the Pacific, and access to some of the best surfing and paddling in Costa Rica. This area is renowned for its abundance of fish, including black and blue marlin, sailfish and dorados, making it the perfect spot to cast a line and land a live one with sportsfishing expeditions. Visitors who want to remain on dry land can head out into the lush rolling hills that surround Esterillos Oeste on an ATV, or indulge in a leisurely trek through the countryside on horseback.

The house was bigger than we expected. Really great for our family with 4 kids. Great location and would look to book here again in the future.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Flex especially the pool and were surprised to see monkeys in the trees and macaws flying overhead! The A/C’s worked great and the main house suited our needs.Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the apartment because of water intrusion but the owners worked with us on a solution. It was our first family vacation in Costa Rica and we plan to come back! Communication with the property manager and owner was easy and efficient. The town is lovely and the beach was pleasant with tide pools to swim and snorkel.
