Palatial Paradise!!

Casa Carvajal was everything described and so much more! The photos don't do it justice as the view out back is stunning! We spent every morning having coffee on the patio and every afternoon have cocktails in the infinity pool soaking up the view! Eric the owner was a delight to work with and answered all my questions promptly. And Piko Travel handled and booked all our tours for us. He made suggestions and did a fabulous job! Everyone of his drivers were on time and so very courteous. Odon is the gardener and was happy to get whatever we needed at the grocery. And Melisa prepared the best Costa Rican breakfast with the food Odon purchased for us. We were so spoiled and felt like royalty! All my friends now want to go after seeing my photos on Facebook. We will definitely return. Pura Vida!!

Casa Carvajal

We had an amazing time at Casa Carvajal. the views were unbelievable. the house was great, large kitchen, great pool, outdoor areas to hang out and relax. there were 10 of us and we all had plenty of room. we loved to have our coffee every morning outside and watch the scarlett macaws fly by. the wild life in Costa Rica was really amazing. Melissa and Odon were great! Melissa cooked up a delicious breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen everyday. she made our beds and tidied up the rooms as well. the house came with all the necessities you would need. having the laundry room was awesome as well. we did the intense walk to the golf course and back a few times. it was a great workout and we saw monkeys in the trees which was very cool. i thought the location of the property was great as well. 1 1/2 hours from the airport, 1 1/2 hours to Manuel Antonio. We used Piko Travel to arrange a few excursions and a chef that came and cooked for us. they were awesome and would highly recommend. Thanks Erik for letting us use your house for our vacation. we had an awesome time!

Perfect Home

Group of 8 of us went to CoastRica and this house was amazing! The house looks just like the photos, clean, lots of space, very nice home. The pool was great, the hot tub we did have to adjust to make it warmer than the pool. Oden is the groundskeeper and he is very nice the grounds are secluded and has a great view of the ocean. Melissa is at the house every morning and she is fabulouse!! If you buy groceries she will cook light breakfast and lunches for you, brew coffee, she tidies up, Just amazing help!! PikoTravel is awesome and always on top of making your stay the best. Piko & Lindsay are great to work with. If you need anything they will make it happen for you, very responsive with text message, will get groceries for you and have them delivered, line up excursions, transportation, daily chefs, etc. Jessibella was a great Chef for us, she prepared fabulous meals, helped make birthday celebrations extra special w/decorations, individual desserts, signature drink. She would go above and beyond. If you wanted anything specific she would make it, or you could have her create her own menu.

Inaccuracies in VRBO posting but view is as beautiful as portrayed

Pros: View is as pictured and is phenomenal. Recently renovated master bath is very nice. Plenty of room for everyone to sit inside and out, and kitchen is well stocked for cooking and serving. Squawking macaws will fly outside the master bedroom around 5:30 or 6 am. (This can be a con for some; it was a pro for us.) Beautifully landscaped property and well laid out home. Groundskeeper, Donald, and housekeeper, Melissa, do a great job keeping the property in tip top shape, are very nice, help when you want them to but let you do your own thing otherwise. Jimmy T's prepared food service - which was found through Eric's recommendation to contact Piko Travel - was a total blessing as it saved us long drives on the windy road for dinner each evening. Cons: Advertised a hot tub, but the hot tub never gets hot and you have to request that Donald make it warm. Since he wants to turn it off before you go home, he'll make it warm and then turn it off so that you only have a little bit before warm goes to cold. This was a major disappointment for me. Advertised a private beach but was told two days before we arrived that guests are no longer permitted to access the private beach. Given that you are a 10 minute winding road drive from the not so great (no shade and rocky) beach in front of the Los Suenos hotel and much further drive from other public beaches, this was not a minor inconvenience. Advertised wifi but was told two days before we arrived that wifi is weak and in the process of being upgraded. The property is secluded. It's a 10 minute drive to the marina and a 15-20 minute drive to the grocery store and main road to Jaco. And that's if there is no a back up at the guard gate. Overall: Beautiful home for group or family that doesn't mind staying at the house most of the time

Breathtaking Views

This was the perfect home and the perfect location. We could go all the places we needed to go with our golf carts: Grocery store, restaurants and bars, shopping, and to the beach & Marina. The house was plenty big for our group of eight. The pool was wonderful and the view spectacular. Our first morning there we were greeted by a family of monkeys. We saw the macaws and iguanas every day. I highly recommend this property for your future vacation.

Absolutely amazing!!

We stayed at this beautiful home for a 50th birthday girls trip. I cannot say enough about this house. The location is perfect, the house is just as beautiful (if not more) than the pictures! Odon and Marisa were so sweet and anything we needed they did. They are great. Marisa made us breakfast in the morning before our excursions and it was perfect. I didn't need to communicate very much with the owner because the house had everything we needed. The little communication with Eric was very attentive. The view you cannot put into words. The pool and hot tub with that view is perfection. We saw humpback whales in the cove under the house twice and macaw's flying over every day. We can't wait to come back. Everything was perfect and beautiful.

Incredible Home

This home has extraordinary views, unlike anything we have experienced before. The photos in the listing truly do not do it justice. Absoluletly stunning! The home is very well equipped and Melissa was amazing. If you stock groceries, she will put together an amazing breakfast every day & clean up after. She was delightful. The house is very well laid out & the bathrooms were gorgeous. The pool was beautifully located, but was not truly cleaned, appears it was shocked & chemicals added, but lots of sand & dirt at the bottom. The hot tub was fantastic for evenings when it was a bit cooler. I read previously some guests complained it was not turned on & was extra cost, but that was not our experience. It was actively running when we arrived & we were shown how to turn it on & off, which was a very easy process that we navigated daily without any issues. We did have a couple hiccups with door locks being broken & a family of raccoons subsequently breaking in one evening and rummaging through the trash, but we were able to get them out & the groundskeeper fixed the lock the very next morning. Truly any and all issues we ran in to were immediately rectified, which made them very tolerable. One word to the wise, the private chef offering through Piko Travel was not worth the money & was very poorly executed & the cost of transportation via Piko was exorbitant, even for the shortest of rides. But outside of that it was a fabulous vacation and beautiful experience.

Paradise

This house was absolutely perfect for our Spring Break getaway. We traveled with 2 families and the layout of the house was perfect for us! Everyone had enough room to spread out and be comfortable. We spent the majority of our time enjoying the views off the back patio and infinity pool. One morning, white-faced monkeys even stopped by to visit. It was a highlight of our stay. Every morning around 6:30am, as I was drinking my coffee, the Macaws would fly over the house. Odon and Melissa took care of our every need we had. The breakfast Melissa prepared for us left us feeling spoiled. Odon shopped for us and would bring home the most amazing fresh papaya and mango. Eric was so easy to work with. He answered all of our questions about the house and we felt like we were at home in his casa. We chose to rent 2 golf carts to explore the community. Each night, we would venture down to the marina for dinner except for the one night that Jose came to cook for us. I highly recommend reaching out to Piko Travel for any of your excursions. Piko took care of everything and we had a driver escort us to all the excursions. Piko Travel made leaving the property a breeze. I will definitely be recommending this home to our friends and can’t wait for the opportunity to bring my family back!

Short but fantastic stay

We had a short but fantastic stay as this beautiful home. Eric and Piko and the whole crew took great care of us to make sure we had everything we needed. The communication was great all around. Piko set us up with chef Jose Piñar who turned out to be one of the highlights of our vacation. His food was of course delicious but beyond that he was so flexible - making separate meals for the kids, arranging for a special birthday cake to help us celebrate a birthday, made us an adult beverage as a last minute request and was a total pleasure work with and our kids loved him! Highly recommended his services!! The home was very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. You won’t regret staying at this house!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Carvajal

Host profile image
We are The Carvajals. Eric, Jennifer, Rose, Eric Jr. and Tovah originally from Texas. My father was born in Costa Rica and at a young age I was able to become a Costa Rican Citizen. My 3 children have also obtained their citizenship and we spend time back and forth between Texas and Costa Rica. We have owned various vacation rentals through the years in the US but this one in Costa Rica is by far our favorite and we love sharing our little slice of paradise with travelers from around the world. We are active owners, constantly working to make the property better for our guests and we work hard to provide a 5-star experience to everyone that visits. Thank you for considering our home!

Why they chose this property

Faro Escondido might be the most exclusive beach area in Costa Rica owned primarily by Ticos. The view here is absolutely incredible and the amount of wildlife that we see regularly is mind blowing. The neighborhood is private and very secure which we love being that we are a young family with small children. There is so much to do very close by but the pool and view make it hard to want to leave the house.

What makes this property unique

Best view in Costa Rica. Private beach in neighborhood. Scarlett Macaws, monkeys, iguanas, you name it, right in our back yard
