Cottage Style Beach House-Large Private Pool-local cell phone use included

The owners, Rupi and Karin were very welcoming. The welcome tray of fresh tropical fruit and coffee is a very nice touch. The caretakers Ron and Bernie were very friendly and willing to help.

The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. This was a relaxing vacation for us and relax we did! We are in love with the huge sparkling clean pool and waterfall. We enjoyed relaxing under the shaded “rancho”, taking refreshing showers at the poolside shower and taking swims in the fabulous pool. Sunsets at the beach at the end of the property are spectacular.

We highly recommend booking a stay at Casa Oceano with your friends and family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Oceano. Ronald and Bernie were helpful in so many ways. Ronald shopped at the fish market with us, assisted us with a flat tire and also took great care of the property and Bernie did an amazing job with cooking breakfasts and dinners.

We had a group of 15 and we all fit fine. Pool was great! Beach was good but use caution as the waves and under-tow was REALLY strong a few of the days. Air-conditioned bedrooms were great at night. The main room with the kitchen did get warm at times but the fans kept it comfortable enough. Kind of a strange feeling having all the cameras on the property. I guess we got accustomed to it though.

Not a lot of places to walk to from the home, so when we left we usually drove. We did venture down the street to the pizzeria/bar one night for a cerveza.

Oceano was a great home base for our family!

We loved our stay at Oceano! In our group there was 15 of us (8 adults and 7 kids) we had enough room and didn’t even use one of the bedrooms. Bernie and Ronald made this trip they were so kind to our family and Bernie’s cooking was amazing. Took the stress off us for most meals. We loved this rustic beach house, it was clean and well kept! Only draw back was having young kids the ocean was just too rough if we wanted to go to a calmer part we had to hire a shuttle. Still we all had an amazing time playing in the sand and the pool area made up for it! Thanks Karin and Rupi for being there upon our arrival and calling to check in!

Loved our beach cottage !! We had a great family vacation in Costa Rica ! Bernie and Ronald were just perfect and did anything and everything we needed to make our stay wonderful !! Did miss super hot water and wanted a little more air conditioning because it was really hot ! Bernie and Ronald were great cooks and made our nights happy and easy after long days of driving and having excursions!

The house is located in a small community. There are houses next door and across the street and there is a hospital right down the road. Not much noise though.

Rent a 4 x 4. Nothing is close and you’ll be going over mountains. Plan on two plus hours each way to go see or do something.

The house is located directly on the beach and it is a very short walk across a large lawn.

The pool is wonderful. The temperature was always perfect. The patio has an amazing barbecue that we used every night. There are plenty of lounge chairs for everyone but only one cushion. The chairs are hard without any cushioning.

The house is old and a little dated. The conditioning worked. Bring one or two power strips and a small extension cord. The outlets are few and far between. The beds and pillows were not comfortable.

There are security cameras inside and outside of the home for insurance purposes. Still

There are multiple keys for the home. One for each bedroom, one for the front door and two for the pedestrian gate. If there are multiple people in your party that are coming and going at different times it does make things hard with all the keys.

The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything you could possibly need. The dining area has plenty of room for everyone. It does get hot in there in the late afternoon early evening. So we usually ate outdoors where there was normally a breeze.

There is a living room upstairs that has two couches, a huge coffee table and a small TV. We never used it because it was right off of someone’s bedroom and it felt weird everybody hanging out if people were in the bedroom.

The caretakers, Bernie and Ronald are wonderful people. When we arrived they took us to the grocery store, the meat market, the fruit market, and the fish market. Bernie made breakfast everyday for all of us. It didn’t matter what we asked for she could make it. We had Bernie make dinner most nights and the food was absolutely incredible.

If you need anything such as making arrangements to go fishing, tours, etc., talk to Bernie and Ronald first. They never led us astray in the people.

At the end of the day we have had a wonderful vacation and we would recommend it to people and if we ever wanted to come back to Costa Rica we would come here.
