My spouse and I stayed at this lovely little villa for two weeks and could not have been more pleased. If the house had been house smaller, in some stage of disrepair, and dirtier, and I still would have been satisfied, so it really exceeded my expectations and the price was perfect. The house itself is charming and comfortable, with AC, internet, and other luxuries, including a washing machine which was very helpful. As a couple who preferred to do our own cooking, the kitchen was a blessing--fully stocked with pots, pans, sharp knives and other implements, a large fridge with ice trays, functional stove and oven, and plenty of room to move around. Everything was clean well cared for and felt relatively new. The large windows in the sun porch were wonderful for wildlife spotting and letting the light in. The location of the villas was far enough off the beaten path to suit our desire for seclusion but close enough to town and city centers that we never had to go too far for needs like groceries, banks, tourist spots, etc. The Palo Seco beach is extremely close to the villas (about a 2 minute walk) and is beautiful, clean, and good for swimming (just watch for those rip tides), and the lovely pool at the villas was always open and was great for late night swims. The owner of this particular apartment was always accessible and helpful, providing accurate and detailed directions and information about the villa and surrounding areas, and the staff of the villas were always friendly and available for any needs we had. If we ever stay in that part of Costa Rica again we will absolutely try to stay here. We had a phenomenal trip due in no small part to our comfortable stay. I really have no complaints.
