It surprises me that there are not loads of excellent reviews for this property. However, this is a fairly new property.

I highly recommend this beach home to anyone thinking of visiting the Nacoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. It is only steps away from the beach in Tambor Bay. The beach is a few kilometers of nice soft sand and the water is very calm and pleasant to swim in. At different tide levels you can get some larger waves making it quite fun.

The house is gorgeous, with high quality, hardwood woodwork, and ceramic tiles throughout. The kitchen is very nice. All three bedrooms are comfortably large enough. The deck and balcony are perfect for sitting and relaxing with a cool breeze and the view of the bay right there.

The property has a large, well-tended garden to either side of the house. The garden is beautiful with a wide variety of trees, flowers, and other plants. There are a few iguanas 'playing' in the grass and occasionally a troop of howler monkeys will pass through.

The pool is crystal clear and a perfect temperature for the climate, not too warm and not too cool. It is large and deep enough to swim in, and great for just sitting and cooling off. The property has well located outdoor showers to wash off sand and salt water so it is easy to come in from the beach and clean off to keep the house & pool clean & comfortable.

There are several nice restaurants both in the town of Tambor and nearby at the Tango Mar resort as well as in other towns such as Montezuma and Mal Pais. We were there after the main tourist season, so there was no problem getting into the resort restaurants. I don't know what their policy is during high season.

Speaking of going in the off season, we were there the second full week of June. This is the rainy season, which is not so bad. Most days were clear/partly-cloudy into the early afternoon, with an hour or two of rain, followed by a clear evening. The rain actually helps keep the mosquitos down so it was little different than what we get in Colorado in the way of bugs. Note however, that there is usually a week-long monsoon around the end of May and another towards the end of July. The coolest thing about being there in the off-season was that there were no crowds. Most days we had the beach completely to ourselves.

The local people are very nice and helpful. The property manager was very helpful in arranging activities and the maid service was top quality. I just can't say enough about this place.
