Beautiful View

The view is the best part of this rental. It is not a sunset view, but that is a short drive or walk away, if desired. The facilities were in great shape. Well stocked with all the modern amenities. The location is great for those who do not want crowds. We got unlucky and there was some construction at the bottom of the hill so we did not get the peace and quiet that I assume would be more normal. The three beaches we went to that are close each have something unique to enjoy. Getting to the house the first time is a real pain in the ass, but the location is close enough to get to restaurants and other tourist stuff. Great house, amazing view.

Million dollar view

Our stay was fantastic. The drive and location is not for the faint of heart but once there you can’t ask for a more relaxing home. Views are indescribable, the pool was wonderful for our daughter, and the bird watching off the patio was great. We can’t wait to return with extended family.

Wonderful trip to Casa Acuario

We originally booked this trip for March of 2020 and had to postpone twice. The folks at Evolve were very accommodating, and we finally made it happen in 2022. The property was just as beautiful as it appears in the pictures online. Liris, the property manager, was very helpful throughout our stay. We loved everything about the trip and can’t wait to return!

More Than Expected

This house was incredible. Even better than the VRBO write up. Very clean, well-appointed, extremely private and the view is INCREDIBLE. Liris, the property manager, was so great and very easy to communicate with. We were there during the raining season and although we had mostly sunny weather, the covered BBQ area was great when it did rain. The pool is stunning and larger than it looks in the photos. The house is close to some great, less crowded beaches - Playa Real, Playa Minas and the western side of Playa Conchal. All just a five or ten minute drive from the house. Make sure to rent an SUV 4-wheel drive and buy supplies before you leave the main road. The dirt road to the house is bumpy and takes about 10-15 minutes. The street up to the house is quite steep and very bumpy. There are no close-by services. Nearest groceries and gas are 15 minutes away. It will take about 25-30 minutes to get to Tamarindo. We didn't have any problems with spiders or snakes but did see lots of geckos and iguanas near the house. The Howler Monkey's "howls" echoed throughout the jungle every morning and evening! Even though we were there during the rainy season, we didn't see even one mosquito. The house, view and surrounding are well worth the price and dirt-road travel. Costa Rica is a treasure and Casa Acuario made it even more special.

Beautiful Home

Overall, we loved Casa Acuario. The home itself its beautiful and spacious. There is a large kitchen, which is fully stocked with cooking and baking items. There is one full sized bathroom on the living level and 2 full sized bathrooms upstairs. One of the bedrooms (the one with the bunkbeds) in adjacent to the living room. The patio and pool area is huge and gorgeous. The view is breathtaking. The wifi at the property worked really well and there were entertainment options if you want to stay in. We downloaded movies onto a firestick and watched that way as well. Plenty of linens and towels for everyone at the house, the pool was clean and was also cleaned several times while we were there. The grill outside was easy to use and was also very clean. Did I mention the view? There are two king beds one queen and then the bunk beds and the beds were comfortable. Also a small loft area with another day bed and television. Staff was also very very helpful and responsive at all times. There were a few negatives but nothing that would cause me to reduce this from a 5 star property; just for full disclosure. First, you need a car to get here. The road from the main road is mainly dirt and there are some areas that are very bumpy. Second, we had a few scorpions come to visit during our stay, however, it is to be expected because of the location. I did not notice a lot of other insects inside.I did have to clean the master bath myself because it was not clean but it just looked like it hadn't been used in some time, also a lot of hard water build-up on the shower heads however, I think that is an issue with the water in Costa Rica. If you have a large SUV, the fit getting to the house is a little tight. We had a few bushes scrape the car but no damage. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this property

Incredible view, 5 minutes to a beautiful beach.

We went with family, enjoyed the facilities, had a great time. The property is well maintained and the staff kind and service oriented. Be prepared for 15 minutes of dirt road to get there.

Casa Acuario - I expected more.

Good location overall. Peaceful and Quiet. We arrived on a Friday and got handed the keys to the property by the caretakers. The main door key did not fit - had to use the balcony door until Monday when the new (correct) key arrived. Caretakers don't work on the weekend. The Property Management is difficult to reach. We connected via WhatsApp. The unlimited local calls home phone needs a SIM card that can only be replaced by the property owner. Requested a substitute phone that was never delivered. The alarm does not work. The trash dumpster does not exist - at least we never found it. The patio lamps are infested with Wasps and Bees - took a little policing to make it safe. We sprayed them ourselves since we asked the caretaker upon arrival and he left w/o doing it. The kitchen plates, glasses and utensils had food - very dirty! I expected better!

Costa Rican Paradise!!

Our family of 6 spent 10 nights at Casa Acuario in February. It was nothing short of amazing. The home is even more beautiful in person. The woodworking and stone throughout is just gorgeous; the pictures don't do it justice... it truly is breathtaking. The ocean view from the balconies and infinity pool are second to none. We found the management company very professional during and after the booking process, and our concierge contacts were extremely pleasant to work with. When we arrived by car we were late getting in and got lost along the way to the house (our own fault). Mario actually drove to find us and then guided us in his vehicle to the house. How amazing is that? The home is situated close to beautiful beaches (a couple of minutes to a local beach that is gorgeous (Pirates), maybe 10 minutes to Playa Conchal....treat yourself to a $20 massage and a fresh coconut for $3!) Tamarindo is a must go to and it's only 20-25 minutes by car. Mt Arenal was UNREAL. It's a good 3 1/2 hours away though, so consider staying overnight as we drove it all in one day and were exhausted. The weather was about 35 every single day with no rain; it does rain at Mt Arenal though. It's actually quite brown and dry on the coast in February; however, the property has lush green plants as Mario watered regularly. We did see some local bugs and were shocked at the Jurassic sized grasshoppers. Who knew they could grow THAT big. There were iguanas everywhere outside, along with a tarantula and 5 scorpions..yep I counted! Coming from the prairie province of Manitoba Canada we don't have any scorpions etc, so was interesting to see them in their natural habitat. We could hear howler monkeys at dawn. Loved it! Best part was waking in the morning and opening our eyes to the view, as you can see the ocean from your bed....sigh!!!! We are sad the vacation is over, but when we return we would stay at this wonderful home again. Thanks for the beautiful memories!!!
