We've been a few times in Casa Luminaka already and we can't get enough of the good things; the house is clean and safe, our kids love the pool and with time you feel this is your second home. You're sharing the pool so there is always an opportunity to make new friends! We did short walks to the beach in the mornings, it's easy to feel connected to nature; birds, monkeys, new sounds and animals set the stage to a beach where you find the peace of mind we're looking for in our vacations. ##### Edwin S.

Lots of new housing construction on way to home and in area. Enjoyed an estuary boat tour that departed within a few blocks of the home. During our three nights day, we saw monkeys, iguanas, beautiful birds from the house. The house had all amenities needed, including pool/beach towels. The pool was a welcome relief from the heat. Nice quiet property, very roomy. Once at the house it’s a bit of a ride to go back to town so bringing some groceries was a great idea. Enjoyed several outdoor nearby restaurants. All in all very satisfied and would return. Host was available and welcoming. ##### Kathleen C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sylvaine C. 4 May 2018 #### Charly 5 The place needs updating furniture and restocking kitchen items but both mattresses are brand new which is a plus and this is the only bungalow of the 6 that has 2 bath rooms. Living room sofas and patio/dining chairs are not comfortable and the BBQ needs to be replaced. There is also an iguana that lives above the pool and regularly poops into the pool. Water was often uninviting from lack of chlorine. ##### Sylvaine C.

It is easy to find, and near enough to the beach to walk twice a day. The neighborhood is very quiet, but a short boat taxi ( or a 45 minute drive) away from busy Tamarindo. The house is well equipped and we were able to cook full meals in the kitchen. We felt that we got a good value for our money but know that others may have higher expectations in amenities. The hotel across the road serves good cocktails and the market around the corner has great tacos for 1500 each. We'll be back. ##### Mark N. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob M. 19 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing by the beach The entire experience was just wonderful. The property is conveniently located close to the beach, about a 5 minute walk, local restaurants, and a surf shop. The beds were comfortable and the unit was clean when we arrived. The refrigerator was new and was very nice (many similar units that we have stayed at in the area only provide a very small refrigerator). The air conditioner had died just before we arrived and they installed a brand new unit so our room was just right. The beach is fantastic and a surfers paradise. The manager was very responsive and arranged for extras like laundry service. She even sent her husband to pick us up from another rental in the area where we stayed the previous 2 weeks (it would have been difficult to transport our luggage without a vehicle). We don’t recommend the other rental we stayed at, though....so it was a refreshing upgrade staying at the Barefoot Bungalow! Pura Vida. ##### Bob M. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Erin V. 12 Jun 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Property needs work We had issues with our casita so we had to move out. Jorge took very good care of us and we could see he was taking care of the issue we had. We moved into another casita on the property that was better stocked and overall better. The Barefoot bungalow needs to be better stocked with kitchen items and housing items in general. Our friends stayed next door to us and their unit was much nicer and had floaties for the pool and lots of extras items in the unit which made it nicer. We will not stay at the Barefoot Bungalow again but would stay in another unit within the property. ##### Erin V.
