About this house rental
Our house is freshly renovated with all the modern conveniences and ready for you to enjoy.
The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities, all new appliances including a dishwasher and microwave. Food service is via a stunning two-tier granite counter top with stool seating, opening onto the living area. The conversation area features a comfy tropical-themed couch and chair. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout add to your comfort.
The master bedroom features a luxurious king-sized bed. The head of the bed is unique in that it is a slice of a Guanacaste tree. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have cushy new double mattresses on hand-crafted hardwood frames. The 2nd bedroom has two double beds, and shares an ensuite bathroom and laundry. The third bedroom has a double and a single bed. All bedrooms have ample closet space. Both bathrooms are completely renovated with fine tile work and feature artisanal hand-painted sinks.
In short, Casa Esmeralda boasts every comfort to make our home feel like your home.
Imagine your ideal vacation... perhaps it's back to nature: hiking in a pristine rainforest, seeing a live volcano, or watching whales and dolphins. Maybe you love water sports: whitewater rafting, sailing, fishing, surfing, snorkel or scuba. Or fun on the land: ziplining, cycling, hiking. Or just chilling on an endless stretch of unspoiled beach, lulled by the lapping of the waves on the shore, awaiting yet another spectacular sunset.
Our home is in Surfside and is a short walk from lovely Potrero Beach. There is easy access to local supermarkets, shops, restaurants and bars, many within a few minutes' walk.
Surfside is located just north of Flamingo. It's a real community, not a holiday resort. Some residents are permanent, some come for the winter, and some just for a few weeks. The people are a mix of Canadians, Americans, Europeans and Costa Ricans of all ages from infants to retirees. It's the kind of place where visitors feel immediately at home.

We had a great time at Casa Esmeralda. Everything is as advertised and the house itself is much nicer than the photos suggest. The local administrator immediately addressed all of our requests promptly. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to Guanacaste.

I stayed a week at Casa Esmeralda and had an amazing time. It was in a very convenient location, and within walking distance to Playa Portrero. There were many other nearby beaches as well such as Playa Danta, Playa Flamingo, and my favorite, Playa Conchal. The home featured air conditioners and ceiling fans in every room, which made the hot weather much more comfortable. There is a large BBQ grill and a nice outdoor private dining space. The kitchen had all of the amenities which we used to cook some of our meals at the house. On the nights we ate out, there were so many options within walking distance. La Forketta, a nearby Italian restaurant was one of our favorites. La Perla, a bar and grill down the road had delicious food and daily drink deals. In the nearby town Brasilito, there was a delicious soda "Soda Brasilito", and a good fish and seafood restaurant on the corner. The area was beautiful and the neighbors were very friendly. We did notice there weren't any televisions, but it wasn't that big of a deal for my husband and I, as we didn't come to Costa Rica to watch tv :) the owner Gary was very responsive and easy to work with. His assistant Lis, was very gracious and welcoming. Thank you for making our stay so special. Pura Vida!

Casa Esmeralda was the perfect place for our family Christmas getaway! Danta beach is a short drive away and there's lots of supermarkets, restaurants and soditas less than 5 minutes away. The automatic A/C units throughout the different rooms allowed each of us to control the room temperature to our liking. The kitchen, although small, was very lovely. There's a beautiful starfruit tree right outside the kitchen that I enjoyed very much (yum!). The location was a little hard to find, but I'm not great with directions and it was getting dark. Gary was incredible during the booking process and Captain was awesome when we arrived.
The only reason I'm not giving it a 5-star rating is because due to a burglary, all the TV's and sound system were missing. My fiancée and I had planned to let the family know of our recent engagement with a photo-slide and music, but the situation really killed it for us. The burglary is by no means the owners fault, but the lack of communication was. We didn't find out about the burglary till we arrived and asked about the TV's. Also, we were looking forward to family movie nights and dancing to Christmas music, so that was disappointing.
Overall, other than the missing TV's, I'm happy with my stay and very much looking forward to going back in the near future!

The house was clean and had everything we need, and for the price was reasonable. The neighborhood seems to have a lot of break-ins, so keeping everything locked all the time was a little off-putting. This is not the fault of the property owner. The care-taker was wonderful, and it's a short walk to the beach.
