Avis Beautiful Home With a Private Beach and Pool - Connect w/ Nature & Relax!

Host was awesome, fixed a delicious dinner and ceviche, arranged a tour to tortuga island (fun) was so helpful. Pool was great. Alex even brought fishing equipment for us to use. Awesome!

What an amazing stay! 10 Couples comfortably fit and enjoyed the house to Its fullest! Alex was AMAZING! He was very attentive and helpful! He’s also an amazing cook! Area was Perfect for our group and would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Thank you Alex for being amazing we appreciate you 😊

The property and location was everything that was described. Alex, the property manager was a gem he made sure everything was as stated, and also was an excellent chef and prepared dinner for us many of our nights. We would definitely go back on another visit. If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful location off of the beaten path this is your perfect getaway.

The house was as advertised, REMOTE. 4 bedrooms (1 w/ private bath) and 1 commonal bath) in main house along with kitchen and living room. 2 guests houses (each w/ 2 beds and private bath). 2 additional half bathrooms in outdoor kitchen area. Alex was very attentive, kind and funny. He tended the house and cooked for all of us. Great to have considering how remote the house is. Marco the driver, drove us to excursions (helped w/ planning and booking). He also served as a tour guide for those that didn’t attend adventurous excursions. I highly recommend hitting up Walmart before heading to the house from the airport. More local markets are limited on variety of products. We were a party of 11 and had plenty of space in the house. Be sure to have bug spray, they are pretty aggressive especially around dusk. I highly recommend this property if you want to get away and relax.

This house was a good place to stay mainly because of the caretaker Alex. The property itself is well maintained but it’s older. Nothing fancy but was a good place for our family. What puts this property over the top is Alex. He is a talented chef and great at recommending and scheduling all your transportation and activities. He is the ultimate travel agent. Marcos the driver is also awesome! My only real complaint is that is off the beaten path. If you stay here schedule all activities through Alex because he knows the best places that are close and have the best experience for your money

Our group had a great time in Punta Arenas home. Home is a retreat away from city life with comfortable beds, great waterfront views and poolside entertainment. Alex made you feel at home and is quite a comedian! He helped our group plan the week activities, transportation along with preparing delicious meals.

Thoroughly enjoyed the property, a little out of the way, plenty of room for the twelve of us. Alex took good care of us. Would recommend to others wanting adventurous vacation stay.

The house is very nice situated on the beach, everyday beutiful sunsets. Spent wonderful moments with family and friends at the pool, on the beach and surrounding caves. Alex is a nice friendly guy, always willing to help. Rolando, the owner is a nice guy, good comunication and accomodate us without any issues. The space downstairs and the kitchen was very nice, nice breeze and the yard is so relaxing. Thank you for letting stay at your place Rolando, and allowing us to build some nice memories.

We have been to Costa Rica twice before, so are familiar with rural areas and know what to expect. This house is not what we expected at all. The good: the home owner is very responsive, easy to work with, and willing to help in any way. The house accommodated our entire group of 9. The pool was refreshing. It was a quiet neighborhood on the weekdays. The driver, Marco, was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Alex, the caretaker, was nice, but not very attentive. After our stay the homeowner refunded us a portion of the rental due to its condition. The bad: the house has deteriorated thru the years from what is shown the pictures. It does not match what is shown. Outside pool furniture is not all there. The big circular pool couches are no longer there. The patio furniture is completely different and very worn down. Some furniture is broken. The kitchen supplies downstairs just sit out on the counter, and the knives barely cut butter. The downstairs fridge could barely keep up with the outside temp. We fought condensation the whole time, and had food spoil. Refrigerator leaked water all over the floor, making it very slippery and dangerous. The upstairs kitchen has absolutely nothing in it. No supply’s at all. Making it useless. The refrigerator upstairs was dirty and rusty. Most appliances were. There are no beach towels. The bath towels are stained, and there are no washcloths. Sheets had stains as well. There was no way to lock the house or the guest rooms while we were away. And one guest room door wouldn’t latch correctly. We had to put a table in front of it to keep it closed at night. There was black mold in one guest room shower. The upstairs house had cockroaches in it. Showers were a challenge due to lack of water pressure and wavering temperatures. We lost power a few times, and the generator was broken. No emergency lights of any kind. The house sits between 2 local camping co-ops. So, it gets loud on the weekends. It is very rural (which I knew) but didn’t expect to drive down so many dirt roads. We drove ourselves, and finding it was a challenge as it didn’t match the entrance pictures I was provided. Bring your groceries. Closest store is 40 minutes away. We had arranged for some basics to be provided, and they weren’t. So, after traveling for 20 hours, we had to go get food and water ourselves. No check in or out instructions were provided. Until the house is thoroughly cleaned, and updated, I wouldn’t recommend

This house was perfect, we had 2 families (11 people with kids aged 3-19) and everyone had a great time. We were a laid-back crew looking for a place to relax and get an authentic experience and this fit the bill. Communication was great with Rolando from booking all the way up to our trip. Alex, the house manager was awesome and cooked us dinner on my husband’s birthday. Marco picked us up from the airport and drove us to all of our excursions and was an excellent guide! He is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica and is committed to making sure you get and see everything you’re hoping for. We cooked most of our meals at the house and enjoyed walking on the beautiful black sand beach (which we basically had to ourselves Monday-Friday), swimming in the pool, watching the crabs on the northern rocks, and stopping for a drink at Donde Vin on the way home. This house is somewhat rural so it’s a jaunt to the grocery store, but we were prepared for that and didn’t mind. Loved this place! Pura Vida!
