The house was great! Conducive to relaxing on the many patios overlooking the harbor. Make sure you bring your own shower/bath soap and shampoo. If not the little store at the bottom of the hill will have what you need. Only one smaller TV on the mid level that makes it great for spending quality time disconnected from the world and allows for great conversations and relaxation.Beautiful home! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick D. 30 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing!

San Carlos is a wonderful town- and the Caracol Peninsula is a quick drive to everything. The listing accurately shows both the beautiful house and the amazing views. The host was responsive and generous- they really thought of everything to make this an easy and relaxing trip. 5 stars! ##### Christine M.

The propane tanks for the fire pit and BBQ grille were empty. We were expecting bath/shower soap/shampoo, but none were provided. I guess you have to bring your own? I would recommend that a night shade be provided for the large window in the master bedroom sitting area. Otherwise, a very enjoyable stay! ##### Samuel H.

The neighborhood is secure and has 24 hour security, the roads in the community can be steep in some areas and narrow but it’s manageable. The home itself was better than expected, the pictures do not do it justice! The views were the best if experienced in San Carlos! The home was well equipped with what we needed. Location was really great close to the marina, bars, restaurants, shops, everything was very accessible. We will definitely stay again!

Quiet area - great view - has everything you need. Was there on business / pleasure and found it to be a very nice stay. Suggestions for improvement - maybe update the directions to include “follow the number signs” to the property. The streets in this development are a little confusing if you have never been there - but the numbers are sequential and there are signs everywhere telling you which numbers are which way. Initial visit - so that was the only challenge upon arrival - but Michael was available via telephone to sort it out. Once at the property - was a great stay - stayed for one week. ##### Michael O.

We visited several restaurants in the area and were impressed with all of them - Tortuga's, La Calaca Tacos y Cerveza, Casa Manolo, and Colibri. My only disappointment was that I couldn't manage transporting the kayaks to the water. Perhaps you should consider a small cart to enable this portage. ##### Keith L. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica M. 21 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views This house is beautiful!!! Lots of space and places to hang out. We spent the majority of time on the patio enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. The kitchen was fully equipped. The is lots of light flooding the house everywhere, of you like to sleep late I would recommend an eye mask and ear plugs. I would recommend that you get a 4WD or AWD vehicle to navigate the neighborhood. The road to the closest beach is very steep, but the beach is beautiful. Definitely use Michaels directions vs Google Navigation to use the best roads and easy access to the house. There is lots construction going on in the gated community but they seem pretty considerate with the time. If you do not cook, you will have to drive into town for restaurants. You could walk but it would be a climb back to the house. We found a number of great restaurants close by. Lots of American style food available. Knowledge of the Spanish language would definitely help but it's not a requirement. We will be back to enjoy the views, food, and weather. ##### Erica M. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamie C. 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible view! We had an amazing stay at Michael's place! It was our first time in San Carlos and it won't be our last! We fell in love with the people, the beauty of the mountains, the organ pipe cactus, and the incredible turquoise water! The house has the most incredible view and was very comfortable for our party of 8\. We traveled during an unusual heat wave, so we appreciated how well the AC worked. Suggestions for improvement would be to upgrade the mattress in the Queen master suite as it was squeaky and a bit uncomfortable, provide more towels (we had 6 for our party of 8 and had to share), and put games, puzzles, and music in a visible location. We didn't realize everything was in a small drawer under the jukebox until our last day. There was also a cockroach under the bed in the room we stayed in but it was dead, so thank goodness the exterminators are doing a good job! There were some minor maintenance issues with the downstairs shower drain, but not a huge deal. Michael made check-in very easy and was very helpful. Everything in San Carlos is so nice. We ate at some of the best restaurants (Mercado, La Zurda Beer Company, Las Heraduras, and Doria Rosita in La Manga is a must!) We also did San Carlos Sunset Cruises to celebrate my son's 18th birthday and it was a trip highlight!! Bahia Delfin is a beautiful beach with soft sand and so many shells - and we saw dolphins!! San Carlos is just wonderful and we will absolutely return!! Thank you for sharing your home with us Michael! ##### Tamie C.

I almost don't want to leave a great review because I want to keep it a secret, but that wouldn't be right. Mike is a great host with a beautiful home. I can't recommend his place enough.

The masterbedroom didn't have a window covering, so the bright daylight didnt let us sleep past 6am. Other than that, gorgeous property and surroundings!! Definitely recommended!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d793cfb6-f07b-4d98-91fc-0ab22b0d7c68-1759692492734.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anna A.

We would definitely stay here again. The house was cleaner than any house I’ve ever rented before. Honestly, that is so important to me and the towels and sheets smell like the four seasons.We fished out of the Marina and caught Marlin, Sailfish and Dorado. The house has a beautiful view, and Michael was easy to communicate with. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/341c3d60-6651-469e-9155-98d9f16a17fa-1751154508904.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1308922b-42ca-4ee8-8ddc-cce0ab6798f1-1751154609547.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b213c864-cdc4-4fb7-a0e7-fbf5d8b32492-1751154609024.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Benjamin M.
