We enjoyed our stay at Luna de Miel. The house is very spacious specially the social area, fairly independent from neighboring houses of similar quality, all in an enclosed townhouse. The house has everything to make your stay enjoyable. Great views, nice pool. Ocean front where you can go and feel the ocean, but if you want to swim, snorkel o surf, be prepare to walk (7 min.) or drive for a swim but it is worth it. Water is clean and good waves. Management gave us all the help we needed, very friendly and cooperative.

Casa Luna Miel was the PERFECT house for our vacation.

Casa Luna Miel was the PERFECT house for our vacation. It very comfortably fit my wife and I, our two young children and their grandmother, and had the feel of a high-end villa in a luxury resort. With the very large living area, huge balcony, the stargazing deck on top of the house, large bedrooms, wonderful pool, and the beach just steps from the house, there was more than enough space to enjoy the company of family in a variety of different settings, watch the mesmerizing sunsets and crashing waves, or to get away for some peace and quiet to read a book or take a siesta in one of the cozy hammocks. Adding a little luxury on top of luxury, we had Chef Karen come to the house twice to cook dinner (highly recommended!), and had Frances and Luis come to the house twice for couples’ massages (a no-brainer). Horseback riding on the beach was a true treat, and it was nice being on a very quiet section of the beach, but just a short walk to the Playa Negra Hotel for lunch, drinks or both. Jarrod and Meaghan were extremely accommodating, taking the time to get to know us and helping us to really personalize our vacation so that we did exactly the right amount of sightseeing, shopping, dining, outdoor activities and relaxing. We are a non-surfing family, and had the vacation of a lifetime – I can only imagine how fulfilling it must be for die-hard surfers. Our normal vacation route takes us to Florida most years, to either Ft Myers or Orlando, and we’re always ready to come back home at the end of those weeks – and sometimes earlier. Not so with this one – I can see how vacations here turn into relocations and new lifestyles. I’ve been showing off pictures of our vacation and the house to (envious!) friends and co-workers, and would love to help get some of the fence-sitters off to Costa Rica to get a taste of our new go-to vacation spot. This is the first travel experience we’ve ever had that I’ve felt strongly enough about to write a review. And I couldn’t endorse the house, Playa Negra Vacation Rentals, Jarrod and Meaghan, and Costa Rica strongly enough. Thanks for everything! The Kinsky Family, Framingham MA

Better Than We Had Hoped!

My husband and I were sorely in need of a mini-vacation as we are missionaries serving in Nicaragua. We were looking for a nice, affordable yet quiet and safe place right on the ocean, where we could rest, refresh and recharge. We thought we were looking for the impossible. We were more than pleased to have found the "impossible" in this lovely home. It was absolutely more (and far nicer) than we expected and we felt so blessed to have been able to stay there. The house was very clean and well-maintained and to walk in to the ceiling fans going and have beautiful music greet us was such a nice touch. It felt very comfortable and homey immediately. From our first communique to our final good-bye, Jarrod was wonderful to work with...giving us the privacy we wanted while making sure we weren't in need of anything. We would highly recommend this area and this property and I can say emphatically, that if we have another opportunity to vacation there, we absolutely would.

Owner response:Hola Jim and Lynne, Thanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed your time at Casa Luna Miel we do hope to see you again in the near future, it was a pleasure having you in Playa Negra! Please keep in touch and keep up the good work, I can tell you're both very caring and giving souls.... thanks again, Jarrod

We had such a lovely time at this fantastic house! It is RIGHT on the beach, gorgeous views (especially from the rooftop lookout), excellent decor. The home was outfitted with everything we needed to relax, including Sky TV, DVDs, and an infinity pool. We did not want to leave! I would highly recommend this house. Jarrod with Playa Negra Rentals was a dream to work with. Overall, a great place to get away from it all!

Owner response:Thanks for the great review, it was a pleasure having you both at Casa Luna Miel. Please keep in touch and come back to visit, please spread the word about us. Thanks again, Jarrod

This is a wonderful property. My family and i spent a month in this home. It felt just like a vacation paradise!! We have a 5 year old daughter and this was a perfect house for us. The location of this house is amazing as are the sunset veiw's! Breath taking. The pool is great because you have the choice of the beach or pool. My daughter and i would bounce back and forth between the too. This house is very large for a 2 bedroom/2 bath. The wrap around decks with ocean views and great napping hammocks are fabulous. Very close to some good restaurants and awesome surf breaks too. The owner really did this right. Our family will be going back there for as many years as the owner will let us. I would highly recommend this home for you next vacation.

Beautiful property! My husband I stayed here for 4 nights of our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were great, the pool is incredible, and the moon deck is a very romantic touch. Mary is a wonderful, helpful host and made sure we had a great stay. We would definitely stay here again!
