    Gina and Charles here. This is a gorgeous house. The pictures don't even come close to how beautiful it is. A little weary from our trip, we walked into beautiful open vistas that immediately picked up our spirits. The view from the terrace is incredible and can be seen from every room in the house. The gentle breeze cooled us as the clear sun shone down. We were both looking for a wonderful vacation from our lives in NYC. Gina has been to Costa Rica particularly in Boca de Nosara (Playa Guiones) a few times for surfing. This was Charles' first time to Costa Rica. He was new to how wonderful Costa Rica is and particularly how special this part of the world is. We had not visited Garza previously, and so Casa Pepito was sort of a leap of faith for me. But Garza is a lovely small fishing village with it's own beach, local fish stores, and has many natural beauties as well. Erin and Peter were so knowledgeable and quick with their responses to all my questions. During our stay, they were also very knowledgeable about the local spots and helped us enjoy our vacation to the fullest. The fishing village of Garza is a jewel. Casa Pepito with it's open air layout, amazing bay view, and beautiful tasteful finishes, satisfied above and beyond any expectations Charles and I had. We enjoy cooking, and made use of the modern kitchen which is wonderfully stocked, and of the balcony/porch and cool water jacuzzi! Genius Idea. Erin said that it was like having the Animal Planet channel from the house view and she was not lying. The bird watching, the monkeys, the stars... I have travelled many places and use home away a lot but this particular property has completely blown me away. I can not wait for the next opportunity to get to Costa Rica specifically Casa Pepito. Not only to stay again in paradise but also to see Erin and Peter as they are such lovely people. Another note to add is that I was rather sick upon arrival. After a session with Erin and her essential oil infused Cranial Sacral technique, I was sleeping sound again after nearly 2 months of endless coughing. She's a wonderful healer, and I absolutely recommend her treatments. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this house at all. We are already planning our next visit there. Thank you so much, Peter and Erin for making two tired ballet dancers whole again.

    WOW, beautiful spacious villa, filled with natural light. Your every need has been anticipated in the fully stocked kitchen. This is a luxury home with a panoramic view you could never tire of. The garden has monkeys and parrots, lemon and banana trees, and you overlook the canopy towards an ocean view of Playa Garza (a fishing village, just south of Playa Guiones and Playa Nosara), a few miutes down the lane. The villa owners live in the next property up the lane, and are gracious and helpful if you need any advice. Peter speaks about 5 languages so communication would be easy for most everyone. Relaxing on the spacious terrace which becomes part of the villa when you open the wall of glass doors, is a lovely way to enjoy any part of the day, in the hammock or the jacuzzi whilst listening to the bird song. The design of this wonderful home makes it so that 3 couples (or a large family) could have privacy, with master bedrooms on both end wings and a second suite with private entrance on the lower level. We loved our stay and would most definitely give it a 10 ! The Nicoya Peninsular is stunningly beautiful, but a 4x4 is definitely needed

    The house is beautiful, well maintained and the views are nothing less than spectacular. Erin and Peter are great hosts and want to ensure their guests have a fun, relaxing stay. The house is only a few minutes away from our favorite surf break, Playa Guiones, and all that area has to offer (excellent restaurants, kayaking, zip-lining, stand-up paddlboarding, fishing, etc). One restaurant we loved was a local Tico pizza spot called Costa del Mar. They had the BEST veggie pizza! The sunsets here are a must-see and wildlife is like no place else…howler monkeys, parrots, hummingbirds, horses, cows, armadillos, reptiles. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is interested in visiting Costa Rica. We would also highly recommend the massages in the studio right next door! You will leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. This wasn’t our first time visiting Playa Garza and it certainly won’t be our last! Thank you, Erin & Peter! ~Tom and Meredith

    My girlfriend and I stayed a week at this beautiful mansion. We only have good things to say. The house was very clean with all the accomodations needed. The fully equiped kitchen is perfect for people who want to cook at home. The terrasse with the jungle and ocean view is simply breathtaking. Every morning when we woke up we just couldn't believe the luck we had to stay in this house. It was one of the best trip of our lives thanks to this beautiful piece of paradise ! We'd recommend it to anyone. It's just simply the nicest place on earth!!! Thank you again Peter, Erin & Jamie we really hope to comeback soon. We hope you're doing great! Louis-Xavier Tamara

    My family (5 adults) had the privilege of staying at Peter and Erin's amazing house. The views of the ocean and jungle are breathtaking and wait until you wake up in the master to a full wall of glass filled with...the Pacific. We traveled up and down the area beaches and found great surfing at Playa Guillones and "could not be better" fishing near Playa Samara. We caught 16 Red Snapper between 20 - 35 pounds! The location is so private and secure and yet in 15 - 20 minutes you can be in Samara or Nosara, both excellent places with plenty of night life and restaurants. The house has everything you could need or want. The pool is excellently located on an expansive, functional and very relaxing patio area complete with picnic table, rocking chairs and hammock. The wonderful greatroom flows from the front door through the house and onto the patio. The kitchen is granite and stainless steel with all the comforts of home. We will return again and again as we have found new friends and an excellent place to just chill out! Combine a stay here with 4 wheeler rentals to really have a blast and truly explore this remarkable place.

    My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Pepito and loved exploring the surrounding Playa Garza/Guillones area. The house is located at the top of a hill just outside of town and offers some breathtaking views of the ocean cove below. During our visit we found the house to be well stocked with kitchen supplies so we did a lot cooking while we were there. The house is beautifully designed and very well maintained plus any issue we ran into was addresses quickly and effectively. The only drawback we found was transportation to and from Playa Garza and Guillones was hard to come by if you are depending on public buses or taxis. I would recommend renting a vehicle during your visit to make your trip more fun and enjoyable.

    My sister and I spent a most wonderful 3 days at Erin and Peter's rental space downstairs from the main house in January/12. The suite had everything we needed in a clean and comfortable setting. We enjoyed eating breakfast outside taking in the breathtaking view of the forest below and the expansive ocean in the distance. The grounds are impeccable and we loved the bird life and monkeys nearby. It was easy exploring the immediate area which was so pristeen and hardly any tourists around. We'll be sure to return as soon as we can. It was an idyllic setting with a most positive and pleasant experience interacting with Erin and Peter. I would highly recommend this suite or their house to anyone! Dianna

    I rented the house along with some friends for a period of 6 months...The house has all the amenities that one needs to live there for that time period..Its spacious, clean and modern..Its in a beautiful location next to Garza and easy accessibly to nearby towns.. The views are stunning and the surrounding area is breathtaking...You are right in the middle of nature which is impressive as you get to see lots of wildlife especially of the feathered world..

    5 of us went for a girls retreat weekend and loved it. We had in-house massages and pedicures and it was the perfect place to chill out and unwind. It is a beautiful house with an amazing view and it provided everything we needed. Erin and Peter are the perfect hosts and can't do enough for you.... we couldn't have asked for more! Thankyou guys we will DEFINATELY be back soon! :)

    Thank you so much for accomodating us all at Casa Pepito, we all had a fabulous time and enjoyed the entire weekend immensely. The house had everything we wanted after the trip from San Jose and was so welcoming the moment we stepped through the front door! The view was absolutely majestic and the openness of the house as it flows out to the terrace with that spectacular view of the ocean immediately took away any discomforts we had brought with us from town. We found the house to have every detail we would have wanted, and it was so enjoyable to be in such a tranquil and beautiful environment! The layout of the house is perfectly comfortable and the dipping pool in the terrace was clearly the hub of our activity while we were there, enjoying swings in the hammock and sunbathing. We didn't need for a single thing while we were there. We tried two different restaurants which were easy to find, one was Italian named Dulce Vita where we had dinner, which was nothing less than magical. The second was Pacific Azul, where I had the most incredible dish of Arroz con Camarones, which in and of itself is a sufficient reason to return ;) I realize I was there less than a month ago however I sincerely look forward to retuning soon. Casa Pepito is a sanctuary in and of itself and I've never had such a tranquil and fulfilling trip to the beach with a group in my life (there were 5 of us in total), most of which is due to the fact that we were so comfortable in every way during our stay. Thank You!!! Lola Kriminal Fashion

    My husband and i stayed at Erins and peters guesthouse for four nights in Jan. It was awesome to be quiet and away from the crowds. The view is great, the birds are singing all the time and the monkeys are the last thing that says good night to you. Everything you needed was there. Erin paid great attention to detail right down to having some coffee available for our first morning. Both Erin and peter are gracious hosts who want to please and make your stay an experience. We will be back next month, thank you loads.
