The beach here is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. We love to walk beaches and you can literally walk for miles and there are no crowds. The waves were quite strong, so it’s not very swim-able, but good for boogie boarding. The communication with the host and property manager was very good; they were both very responsive. We had a couple of issues, but they were handled to our satisfaction. The pool is beautiful and we enjoyed the bird songs and iguanas. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful oceanfront house, desolate beach and clear blue Pacific water. Saw lots of parrots, a family of monkeys and miles of coconut trees. The house was comfortable, adequately spacious, the owner and property manager immediately responsive.

Steps From The Beach
If you want privacy and peace, this is the place. It truly is only steps from the beautiful beach. We stayed here the first week of May, and there was hardly anyone around, and we consistently had the entire beach to ourselves. The house was comfortable and clean. The sound of the waves was incredible, and I didn't even need my Spotify app for sleep sound. We enjoyed the nightly visits of the land crabs, and they were never a problem, just a fun change from everyday land life. The Mar Y Sol restaurant down the road was a lovely surprise. It gave us a place to go for great food and a beach view just down the road.Susan (the Owner) was very responsive to all our questions and was extremely helpful. We very much enjoyed our experience.

Secluded beach front property
Beautiful sunsets. Friendly neighbors and miles of secluded beach. It is a bit of a hike to Manuel Antonio park but if you embrace the Pura Vida life-style it’s a great place for a peaceful and quiet stay.
I would describe the property as 1990’s Midwest beach front cottage. Compared to the other places we stayed in Costa Rica the price point is great.

We had a great time at this home. Loved the pool, beach and especially the Sunsets. The best way to enjoy this house is get lots of groceries and hang at the pool.
BBQ wasn’t cleaned is my only complaint. Really need a gas BBQ.

We love Parrita and palo seco beach even if you have to be careful of the rip currents, the place was nice, view was just wonderful from the house. The pool was great! Has everything you need, the only thing was the mattresses in the guest bedrooms, need to change the spring mattresses. The main bedroom was nice other then that perfect.

Fantastic rental!
Our family of 5 stayed at Susan's rental for 4 nights and we didn't want to leave. It's very quiet with empty beach that can be seen from the front porch. The backyard has an amazing pool and we enjoyed every second if it. The cabana itself is well stocked and has all the basics necessary to enjoy your vacation. It is off the beaten bath, 15 minutes down dirt road but we knew that when booking. This is exactly what we were looking for.
We had a wonderful time staying at this house. The location is fantastic. The beach is huge and almost deserted, the swimming pool was so about bar was fabulous. The host was very helpful and communicative

You feel like a visitor to Costa Rica, not just a tourist!!
What an overall great experience we had staying at this beach front property!! We could sit on the front porch to eat all of our meals and wave or say hi to people as they went by. We would start our day walking the beach and it was always surprising how few people are on the beach. After our beach walk we would spend time in the wonderful plunge pool in the back of the house. Usually by mid afternoon we would grab the hammocks and hang them in the palm trees on the beach and spend the afternoon reading or just watching the ocean lull you into a mellow mood. Before you know it the day ends and we would make a martini and the beach chairs and head out to the beach to watch the sunset. The overall property was well taken care of and the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The bed had a memory foam topper and sleeping was perfect. Having the Ac available to turn on at night was wonderful to sleep with, but we would open the windows during the day and feel the constant breeze that was blowing in from the ocean. It was nice to feel like we were in a small community where people would interact, or you could just sit and watch the neighbourhood kids playing in the water or on the kicking the soccer ball on the beach. Shopping in Parrita is close by and easy to get what you would need to make your own meals at the house. The area is great for doing excursions such as zip lines, surf lessons, horse back riding etc. and there are a few different restaurants along the beach road to go and eat at. The owner Susan and the property manager Woody were both very responsive and easy to talk with if you needed anything. Overall we had a great time and really had no surprises renting this house on the beach.
