Dani Corballo Rojas

We had a great time. Your place was an easy drive to playa manta. Which is where we spent most of the time. Is was close to the pool. Only problem was, we weren't able to grill our by the pool. Maybe next time. ;) Thanks for everything.

Great Place to Stay in Tarcoles Area
We will certainly stay here again when we're next in the area. The property was just as described. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals if you choose not to eat out. Bedrooms are spacious with loads of closet space. The pool area is very nice with several covered areas for BBQ ing. Birds lovers will enjoy watching toucans, scarlet macaws, motmots and many other species of birds in the trees just across from the unit. Jacques, the owner, responded promptly to my questions, which was very much appreciated. We had a great time. Ellen

We didn't stay; my fiancée's flight plans were hung up. Jacques and Melissa maintained positive contact before and during our dashed plans. We didn't burn any bridges with our short-notice cancelation, which is nice, because we really want to stay there! We will book again sometime in the near future. Thank you Jacques and Melissa for understanding!

This is a great community and was a wonderful home to stay in for our family of 6. There was space for everyone and the pool area was the perfect place to unwind after a day of enjoying the area. Melissa was very responsive and made sure we were set up for a seamless stay.

Fantastic place in a safe neighborhood
We had some major issues with checking into the property but once we were in, our stay was fantastic. The host initially lost our trust when he got mad that I reached out to him at “11:30pm” (he’s in east coast time) but after we got through the check in process, our stay was lovely. The property manager was good to work with as well! Highly recommend staying here!

Great location. Enjoyed our stay.
Not too far from Jaco and Torcoles where the crocadial bridge is, plus several beachs in the area. A must see secluded yet easy to get to beach and about 15 minutes from the condo is Playa Herradura. There are 2 to 3 restaurants there where you can go and watch the sunset. Beautiful and quiet. We would definitely comeback.

Very pleasant home base to visit Carara National Park
My husband and I stayed here for a few days as part of our three week bird watching and hiking exploration of the numerous national parks in Costa Rica. This was a truly lovely VRBO in a small gated community that was only an 11 minute drive to the Carara National Park entrance. The VRBO is beautifully furnished, clean with comfortable beds and has a kitchen well-equipped to allow us to cook all our meals. Air conditioning works perfectly and the private outdoor patio jacuzzi was a delightful way to cool off after a morning and afternoon of nature watching in the national park. The owner, Jacques provided a thoughtfully comprehensive guestbook of places to go, area supermarket (Automercado about 10 minute drive away in Herradura) and restaurant recommendations. What I will remember most about this VRBO though is the excellent communication with the owner as well as Melissa at the Mitman Management property management agency. Many thanks to Melissa. And thanks to Jacques for sharing his beautiful home with us.

Quiet, safe and convenient
Nice property in a gated neighborhood with security 24/7. Didn’t even feel the need to lock our vehicles! Only issue we had was the rear sliding door had no way to secure it, there was a missing light in the bathroom and several lightbulbs were out. I’d still stay here again because of the safety we felt, the friendliness of every employee we met at the complex (especially the security guys!) and how convenient it was to Playa Herrudura and Jaco. Totally equipped with everything including washer and dryer.

Peaceful paradise close to many beaches and activities!
The villa is highly recommendable with the peaceful and central location to action close to Jaco and Herradura. Playa Mantas and Playa Blanca were very close by and accessible. Jacques and his team were very accessible to resolve any issues that were presented. We hope to return to the villa in the near future for a longer stay.

Amazing value for the money
Beautiful Villa close to the beach, but away from the craziness of Jaco. Nicer than Los Suenos condos I've stayed at for less than half the price, and better appointed with everything you need for cooking, relaxing, or a day at the beach. We especially liked the thoughtfulness of the cooler and ice packs, and beach towels and toys! The kids loved having our own private "little pool" jacuzzi, that also provided for romantic evenings for the parents. Thank you for everything, I can't wait to go back!
