Casa Jeffrey | House with Pool, Steps to Beach
Casa Jeffrey was wonderful. The location, quality of finishes, ambience and everything was perfect. Kristel was amazing - super helpful, very responsive and really kind - thanks Kristel for everything. We would return for sure.

Siwõ Puerto Viejo 2
Friendly on-site host, and a beautiful & relaxing place to come back to after exploring Puerto Viejo! Will definitely stay here again if I find myself back in the area 🌺

AC-Private Pool-Dishwasher-Walk to Beach
Excellent place. Very welcoming, with everything you need for a quiet, pleasant and fun stay. Great for group of friends or family. Too close to the beach and with easy access to downtown and other beaches. Communication with Kathleen and her work team was always accurate and very simple. Great choice.

VILLA ARAGON Private Villa AC. Beach Access + Pool
This place is absolutely incredible. Clean, comfortable, and a great gathering space for family. We LOVED the pool and outdoor area, made dinners and slept well in the cozy beds. The walkway to the beach is extremely convenient but sooo magical!!!! I loved the black sand beach and enjoyed laying in the sun with just a short two minute walk back to the house. Muchísimas gracias!!

Just a few steps from the beach | A/C & WiFi
The place is super accessible and quiet. Adriana is incredibly friendly and helped us a lot. Great cozy place very close to the beach, super grateful!

Exclusive Luxury Home between the Sea and Jungle!
I would highly recommend Casa Nalaya. For the Caribbean side, one of the best accommodations there is! A sparkling clean house, very well divided into two separate rooms. The equipment is sensational, rarely found such good kitchen equipment, everything is available. The open bathroom is awesome! And there are still no animals in the house. We felt very comfortable and were happy to come "home" every time. I especially liked the interior decoration, everything chosen with so much love and style, great! Very comfy beds and such soft linens, I would also like them at home. Cindy was an excellent host and Jonathan also took great care of us. 5 star accommodation!!! Best regards, Barbara, Peter and Theresa

Villa Milá - Private Pool - 100 Mbps
The space was clean and spacious. Close to the beach and the host was amazingly friendly and helpful.

King of the Mountain ~ Beach & Jungle Experience ~ bglw1
As other guests have written, I wish I could live here. The bungalow was exactly as pictured/described, and it gave my partner and I a comfortable and peaceful place to lay our heads every night. The property is lush with vegetation and attracts a variety of amazing creatures like frogs, geckos, hummingbirds, butterflies. We loved waking up to the sounds of toucans and montezuma oropendolas and falling asleep to the sounds of crickets and bugs. It is truly is the jungle cabina of our dreams. David is a wonderful host. He communicates clearly and responds very quickly. We didn’t need anything during our stay, but he messaged us in the middle of the week to check in which we really appreciated. For future guests: I HIGHLY recommend renting an ATV from David for your stay. The bungalow is on a mountain, and to walk up and down the long, steep road would have been a lot had we not gotten the ATV. Not only is the ATV fun, but it allows you to get up and down the hill safely and quickly.
