Arturo and Maribelle were amazing as well as the backyard ideal for the 4 kids! It’s also rare to have access to the beach from your the house!On the other hand, the neighborhood was not welcoming as dogs were barquing a lot at night, a lot of empty lots or houses around. The plumbing in the house were broken / wires on the shower head / not draining properly.

Highly Recommended

This was an awesome property. I went with my spouse and adult children(17-22) and their friends. Total of 8 people. The house was very clean and open. The pool was exceptional. The sunsets on the beach were beautiful. The best part was the caretakers(Arturo and Maribel). Arturo was up early to get the pool and backyard set up for us to enjoy for the day. Maribel cooked us an awesome dinner our last night there. They were so nice and helpful the entire time we were there. They almost felt like family. Also the owner was easy to get into contact with when needed. We will definitely stay there again when we go back to Costa Rica!!!!

We were mostly using as a “base camp” while we played tourist but did spend most of one afternoon at the house and in the pool. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset! Loved the screened in porch to enjoy outside without bugs. The property manager Arturo was incredibly helpful with everything we needed.

Wonderful family getaway

My family stayed at the property and had a wonderful time. Arturo and Maribel are the caretakers and are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. They keep the property in fantastic shape and are extremely helpful. I highly recommend hiring Maribel to do the cooking, as she is amazing!! The pool is great, the beach was just fine for swimming. Make sure to visit the "Monkey House" (casa de los monos) nearby, as that was my families favorite excursion. Again, I cannot stress enough how wonderful Arturo and Maribel are at hosting and taking care of the guests here. Truly a great family place!!!

Relaxing beach time

Casa Rector was a perfect fit for our group of 14. The pictures do not do it justice. The grounds are beautiful, Arturo does a great job maintaining them. Everyone had enough room to have their own space, but a great common area for meals and down time. And speaking of meals, Maribel's cooking was fabulous. We will miss Casa Rector as we treasure our memories of our time there. We chose it to have down time at the beach and that is exactly what it was.

Guestbook Comment

Our three couples have just returned from Casa Rector and had a great vacation. The house was clean and comfortable, and very private. The pool is well maintained along with the rest of the grounds by the lovely couple,Arturo and Mirabel,who reside on the property. They are two of the nicest people you could meet and make your stay a delight. There is plenty of room on the property and we found the atmosphere much more to our liking than staying at a hotel. The property is gated and the two dogs, Bronco and Gaby, are well trained and friendly, and are good watch dogs. All of our questions were answered promptly and courteously by the owner before we left for Costa Rica. He was genuinely concerned to make sure our trip was going to be a good one. If you are not the resort kind of person Casa Rector is the place for you.

Amazing hospitality

Our group of two families (4 adults, 7 kids) stayed here for two nights. The rooms are small but sufficient. Each bedroom has a double bed and a single. The pool is wonderful, and the grounds are kept pristine bt the caretaker Arturo, who lives in site with his wife Maribel. They are wonderful hosts. For $30/day, Maribel will prepare lunch and breakfast for your group. She even accompanied us to the market to help us shop for the meals. Arturo took us down to the local fish market, where we scored a deal on some fresh mahi mahi for dinner, which Maribel cooked perfectly. The only downside to the house was the beach behind the back fence. It is not a beach where you can swim. The current is strong and the beach is steeply sloped. However, more appealling beaches are just a short drive away. All in all, we would stay here again!

Beautiful Beachside Property

My husband and i stayed for one week and then our daughters came with their families for the second week. It was a very relaxing vacation, with a lovely pool, and we loved the access to the beach. Our grandchildren were in heaven, running around the spacious property, swimming in the pool, and playing on the beach. This is the place for anyone looking for a beach/pool vacation. Puntarenas was disappointing as a town, but there is good local shopping within walking distance. Marabel and Arturo give five star service, looking after their guests as if they were family. They are the true gems of this property. The house itself could use some updating and the gate to the beach should be made more secure. But all in all, it is a great spot, and we would definitely go again. Richard, the property owner, is splendid at communication and we couldn’t have asked for better or more accomodating hosts.

Amazing Hosts In Puntarenas!

What a wonderful stay! Casa Rector was an excellent choice for our family, my brother's family and my parents. The property was well stocked with everything we needed, including life jackets for our kids. Mirabel and Arturo, the on site caretakers are INCREDIBLE! We hired Mirabel to look after the cleaning and some cooking and it was worth every penny to enjoy our stay. Mirabel is a wonderful cook and always proactively anticipating our needs (towels, ice cream for the kids, etc) Arturo did a wonderful job looking after the pool was always there to help with the gate when we were coming/going with the car. The property was clean and well maintained despite some signs of age, but anything we needed was attended to right away. The pool was excellent. The shallow end is still approx 4 feet deep, so we just had to be extra cautious with the younger kids in our group. We loved going down to the beach to jump around the waves and watch sunsets. Thank you Richard for sharing your beautiful property with us. We had a wonderful stay!

Guestbook Comment

We've just returned from Casa Rector where our family of eight(Oregon, Kentucky, Texas and Georgia) met for the Christmas holidays. We had a wonderfully relaxing time alternating with exploring the area (zip lines, aerial tour of the forest, butterfly and orchid gardens, a fishing trip yielding delicious Dorado) and just hanging out in the pool. The house and grounds met our needs very nicely and Arturo and Maribel made it perfect. They were very personable and did their jobs in a way that preserved our privacy yet they were always there when we needed them. Their concern for our comfort and safety was apparent in everything they did. Maribel cooked for us most of the time, affording us the opportunity to enjoy some great Tico food and spend extra time with our children. We also enjoyed the presence of Blanco who took on the role as our chief dog and protectorate almost immediately. He was a most willing beach walker and running partner. What a great dog! Costa Rica, Casa Rector, Arturo and Maribel made our family get together as good as it gets. I would certainly be willing to answer any email questions about this wonderful place.

Great Pool

We had a wonderful time at the house. The best part about the place was the pool. It was clean, beautiful and right outside your bedroom door! They had pool toys and towels to use. The listing was quite accurate. The pictures were very helpful. I was impressed with the fact that the house had a crib and a highchair for our kids. The house keeper and cook were very kind and made us feel right at home. We had a large group and the house fit us perfectly. With all the seperate rooms, each couple had their own room for privacy. The lot was right on the beach, which was beautiful at night. The waves turned up the sand a little but it was still great. The location was a little difficult to get to places but only because of the traffic around the country. My only suggestion would be to have a list of local restuarants and good tours. It would be helpful to have a pitcure to send to people for the last turn to the house. The house was perfect but the location was not ideal for our travel desires. We had a great time. I would definately tell others to go, escpecially if they have a big group. Thanks for everything!

Guestbook Comment

Casa Rector was our casa (8 friends) for 10 days of delight. All the images posted on the website turned out to be an accurate picture of what we found when we arrived. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms roomy, the pool was our savior in a humid climate we are unaccustomed to. The sunsets on the beach were awesome. Tico and Tica (the resident birds) laughed after saying "wake up" to whoever was resting in the hammocks and we laughed with them. Bronco and Gabby (resident dogs) became our friends and protectors from imaginary evils as we dined together in the common area or lounged around the massive yard. However, the best for me is the two new friends I made: Arturo and Maribel, the caretakers and chef. They made our stay extra special as they foresaw our every need. Although I speak limited Spanish and they speak limited English, it didn't matter. We bonded as Maribel cooked delightful meals and Arturo demonstrated how to harvest the coconuts - in between his ongoing responsibilities of keeping Casa Rector a paradise. Casa Rector is conveniently located to the zip-line, Rain Forest and SkyWalk adventures, as well as a "small town" experience in Puntarenas or the "touristy" atmosphere of Jaco. I readily recommend this casa to anyone who wants to partake in a real Costa Rican experience. The owner called when we arrived to make sure we'd made it and again to make sure everything was ok. I hope to return with my family to introduce them to my new friends.

Family time

This was a great place to use as a base and take off each day to go exploring. Arturo and Maribel were very gracious and helpful. We had Maribel cook for us several nights and she did our laundry, which was a blessing. I injured my foot and she went to the pharmacy to get me some numbing solution. We were there during the rainy season, which we loved. We enjoyed the pool, and loved watching and hearing the waves crash in on the beach. I’m not sure why they preferred that we stay off the beach. Our room had an issue cooling down and they had someone right out to work on it. Maribel had fresh fruit cut up for us several mornings, which was a real treat! The owner of the property was incredible, we corresponded and spoke by phone several times and he reassured me he would make everything right. Which he did, above and beyond. By the way, he doesn’t text! We were so sorry while we were there that they lost one of their beautiful German shepherds. We couldn’t get the translation straight as to what happened. There was a black lab there also, that we think was named ‘Bacon’. Our grand daughter cried when we left Bacon at the house. This house was perfect for us, we are not resort people so it didn’t bother us that there was not AC in the common room. If it got too hot, we’d go swimming or go into our rooms. We loved the geckos, iguanas & squirrels. Thank you to Rich, Arturo and Maribel for making our family of 11 have such a memorable vacation! Ron and Sue

Authentic Costa Rican hospitality!

Our group of 10 stayed here at Casa Rector for 3 nights, and we all would have loved to stay longer! Our group was 2 families-- 4 adults and 6 kids under the age of 13. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would be happy to stay again! NEGATIVES: But first, I will start with the "negatives" we experienced at the beginning. When we first arrived, we were a little shocked because the streets outside the front gate look run-down. And once we got into the house area, we were a little startled to see that every bedroom opens directly to the outside porch areas, and are not enclosed like a typical house is. This made us a little nervous because of our children, and we didn't want any of them wandering out in the night. Since the youngest child was 8, we were able to manage. But someone with really young kids might want to take that into consideration. One last point- the beach is too rough for swimming and playing most of the day. But in the morning it is fairly calm until at least 8-9am. For us, these things were outweighed by all the positives! POSITIVES: Rich, the owner, did a great job of staying in touch with me during the time leading up to our arrival. And once we were there, he called to make sure we made it okay. (He lives in the US, so he wasn't there.) We felt so very welcomed by Arturo and Maribel, the property managers. Their genuine hospitality was a blessing the whole time! (They don't speak English, so it would be helpful if you can speak at least a few key words of Spanish.) Arturo is a very hard worker, and the grounds and pool are beautiful and immaculate. Anytime we wanted to walk to a grocery store or restaurant, Arturo walked with us. We felt like he was a guide and protector. Maribel cooked for us, and cleaned up after us faster than we could. All while smiling and encouraging. They are so kind and hospitable, and definitely exhibit the beautiful attitude of welcoming others. It's clear that they love their jobs! We enjoyed some day trips... and definitely recommend Varso Travel. Go do the snorkeling and boat ride to Isla Tortuga, and also go see the white-faced monkeys. They're fun!

Belle semaine

Tout est conforme Ă  ce qui Ă©tait annoncĂ©. Arturo et Maribel sont des hĂŽtes trĂšs attentifs, chaleureux et bienveillants. La plage est belle mais la mer est trĂšs agitĂ©e, presque dangereuse Ă  certains moments. La ville de Puntarenas est banale. Il vaut peut-ĂȘtre mieux louer une auto que de payer le gros prix pour des excursions. Somme toute nous avons passĂ© une trĂšs belle semaine en famille.

Amazing hosts, but gross inside

We loved the couple that was there to welcome us and help us with whatever we needed. The grounds were beautiful. The inside was gross and we found a cockroach in the bed. It is also not in a good location, any activities are at least a twenty minute drive
