  My boyfriend and I stayed in Casa Verde for 8 days and we loved every moment of it. We arrived in the evening and the very first thing we saw was an absolutely spectacular sunset over the ocean. The photos do not do justice to the view from the terrace and from the house in general. We loved having our morning coffee and looking at the calm waters of the ocean. Our favorite part of the house was the kitchen, which is both large and well-equipped. There are hardly any houses nearby (during our stay we were the only people in the community) and it gets pretty quiet at night. It took some time to get used to it since we live in a city, but we learned to appreciate it. The temperatures during this time of year were pretty extreme and the house would get warm during the day (since there is no A/C), but with a few tricks here and there you can beat the heat. The area is very secluded, which is exactly what we were looking for. We bought fish from the local fishermen (ask for Caco at Casa Caletas if you're interested), which made for a great experience. The nearest store is 4km away (7-10 minute drive), in San Francisco de Coyote. There is also a few small restaurants and a coffee spot called Cafe Sante. The people in the area are extremely nice, friendly and helpful. Speaking Spanish is definitely a plus. We made a few day tours to towns nearby, Cobano (1h away), Samara (1.5h) and Montezuma (2h), which were great. The roads were all unpaved, can get pretty bumpy and you need to cross some small rivers (so definitely get a 4x4), but it only made it so much more fun! While all the towns were really interesting to see, we were always glad to be back in our nice, calm Casa Verde. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your gorgeous house, Carla! We loved every moment of it!

  Our stay couldn't have been any better. The home is as good as the owner's description and better. The pictures do not do justice to the house. It is a fantastic place to stay. We were two couples vacationing together and the separate bedrooms on 2 floors afforded us the privacy when we wanted it. The terrace view is fantastic, we could have sat out there all day and night. We ate at some of the surrounding cafes, and enjoyed the hotel restaurant and lounge immensely. The stores in San Francisco were very well stocked. Even with the language barrier (we spoke no Spanish) everyone was very accomodating. The beaches were huge and almost no one was there but us. We saw many animals and birds (armadillo, coatimundi, howling monkeys, iguanas, parrot, geckos, etc.) and the flora is beautiful. We would recommend this place to anyone.

  First off, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to stay in your gorgeous home for our getaway. We are from a large city and planned a destination beach getaway. Two other couples (our closest friends) visit with us at the home and they were speechless when they walked through the house and saw the views from the balcony. This place rocks! The house was a great way for us to relax and do things as a family. (NO TV's, Air Conditioning) We were amazed at the size of the home and how beautiful it was. The balcony view was awesome after a long day at the beach. There are so many great places to see in the area yet there was no need to leave the house because it was so AWESOME! The pictures don't do the house Justice at all. We were greeted by Minor (Property Manager) who gave us the grand tour. Very nice fellow. a gift basket full of tropical fruits from the area, and permission to live it up! Every email I sent was answered promptly by Carla (owner). This is not the first time renting a home and it more than met any of our expectations for the area. Our Vacation getaway could not have gone any better. We absolutely intend on returning in April. Thank You
