"The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day! All reviews say Ana will help with excursions upon arrival (which made us - typical over...

Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (158)
"Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children. It is an easy walk to the beach from the property. I would recommend renting a golf cart or car to get to town and neighboring Carrillo beach. The pool and outdoor space were very nice. The house is stocked with plenty of supplies for cooking. Cleaning staff came twice during our stay and did a great job. Great stay overall."

"Having been attracted by the numerous positive feedback comments about Libelula prior to booking the property for our own holiday, (and I am quite thorough in my research) I can now give my own thoughts; if you are considering booking this, you've found the right place. You will not be disappointed. It was a privilege to stay there. The amenities available to you are comprehensive, the configuration and location is perfectly idyllic, the diverse wildlife often on view within the garden itself a...

"We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Alex and Jennifer were amazing. We enjoyed all the meals they cooked and eating on the patio was such a treat. The location was wonderful too. I felt like all my research had paid off when a local resident asked us in surprised how we found Playa Carrillo. It is the most beautiful beach. We felt very fortunate to have been able to experience the culture, food and beaches all in one trip. Can’t...

Fabulous Ocean View, Walking Distance to the Beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (119)
"We LOVED staying here. It was a nice reprieve from the town centre and offered a completely different view being up so high. We did book it because it was walking distance to the beach, but I wouldn't really say it is as it's a pretty dusty dirt road a long way down, so the way back up would be pretty intense."

NEW !! Paradise Luxury Marbella Beach House (Ocean View)
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"This house is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. Marbella is a pretty town with a small market but not many places to eat. We loved the Tiki Hut which is a short drive, on isolated and black sand Marbella Beach! The bedrooms are air conditioned and the open air house has constant breezes. Unfortunately there was a problem with the water heater and oven during our stay but we spent a lot of time in the pool having fun. There is a charcoal grill but bring supplies because the local markets...

Oceanfront Tropical Paradise with AMAZING Pool!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"What a special place! The location of this home is really magical. Very peaceful neighborhood, with lots of privacy. The balcony of the home overlooks the ocean, and the breezes helped keep everything very comfortable. The pool and ammenities are very lovely, and well taken care of. The layout of the home is a little unusual. Both bedrooms are on the ground floor, each accessed through their own exterior locked door. Ended up being too scary for our 6 year old to have to walk outside between...

"The house is as advertised, beautiful and well equipped. The location is isolated enough for privacy, but only 35 minutes from Samara. There is air conditioning in all of the bedrooms, which is necessary given the heat and humidity. The property manager Diego is really helpful and communicative. A great location!"

ONE OF A KIND VILLA W/ Huge Outdoor living Area, Private Pool!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"The villa is just as pictured. And I could literally live in the salt water pool. This home is away from sights, so I definitely suggest arranging a driver, as the roads are difficult to navigate. But this also gives you tranquility. The concierge Dani is absolutely wonderful. She planned the trip ahead of time with us and even helped us with a couple difficulties that arose. We also recommend booking a meal with their kind Chef Adrian."

"This home is wonderful, with lots of room to spread out and beautiful outdoor spaces that look out onto a forested valley. Veranda is perfect for spying on birds, monkeys, and iguanas through binoculars. The location worked well. The 10-minute walk to the beach allowed adults to head over individually before the rest drove over with chairs/umbrella/cooler. Easy walk to a few restaurants. We had a good dinner at El Colibri, but Soda la Plaza was our favorite (my best meal in Costa Rica!). The...

"We were 3 families with 12 total. The pictures depict the property perfectly (and it is even more beautiful). We had excellent communication via “WhatsApp” prior to our arrival and during our stay. The property managers Fabricio and Tess gave us some excellent recommendations on beaches and food stops. The casita was perfect for the older teens in the group and was like their own bachelor pad. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed (including a gift of some CR coffee and...

"Great house that’s spacious and has a beautiful view. The only reason it’s not a 5 star location is because it takes about 15 minutes to get to from the main road. However, if you’re looking for a lot of privacy and wildlife, then this is great. This house met all our needs!"

"The Sanctuary was a fabulous place to stay for three families on spring break (6 adults, 6 kids). We all agreed it was even better than the pictures. The space easily accommodated our large group - having the semi-detached rooms was great for the kids. The kids lived in the pool, and we especially loved when the monkeys hung out in the trees as they were playing. We also can't say enough about the Sanctuary hosts - Mergie, Joel, and Tatiana answered all of our millions of questions promptly and...
