Every detail was carefully considered, from the stylish interiors to the fully equipped kitchen and spacious living areas. The layout is perfect for families or groups, with three elegant bedrooms in the main house plus two private units for couples, balancing shared spaces with personal retreats. The pool is stunning, ideal for relaxing after exploring, and the beach is just a short 3–4 minute walk away for sunrise/sunset strolls, jumping waves or surfing.What also made our stay exceptional were the hosts and concierge. Warm, welcoming, and full of local tips, they made us feel at home. The concierge service was outstanding, always available, answering questions instantly, and even arriving at the house within minutes when needed, making everything seamless.Exploring the area was a highlight, too. Dining options ranged from casual beachside to upscale restaurants, while the Tamarindo farmers market offered fresh produce and artisanal finds. Within 1–2 hours, we visited national parks full of wildlife, La Leona waterfall, and the SIBU animal rescue centre in Nosara.This home is a gem, offering the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and adventure. We can’t wait to return! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b110df16-defd-4927-9ec9-44d674c51224-1755616793192.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Samantha P.
