Outstanding Casa and hosts. From the moment we arrived until the time we had to leave, Erin and Peter were without a doubt, the best hosts we have ever encountered. We are 5 adults that traveled to Costa Rica for a 3 week vacation, and the first time any of us had been to this beautiful country. We stayed at Casa Pepito for 1 week of our vacation (the 2nd week of our trip). The house is awesome, great kitchen, very clean, and tastefully decorated. The view from the terrace and the master bedroom is nothing short of amazing. Casa Pepito is truly a gem, and was our favorite place of our trip. Three of us enjoyed a fantastic massage by Erin (the owner & a very talented masseuse), in fact all agreed, the best we ever experienced.
Playa Garza is a small village with a limited grocery store, a Soda close by, and good restaurants within just a few short miles from the house. The beach at Playa Garza is beautiful and a bonus that Peter and Erin also have a beach shack there, a short distance from Casa Pepito, (for very reasonable daily rental). Picture a beautiful beach, hammocks swung between the coconut trees, lounger padded chairs, and a table set with flowers, enjoying a ‘typical’ Costa Rican dinner from the Soda just down the beach, even delivered to us. The charming beach shack was a bonus with a bathroom, place to change, and a mini kitchen right on this quiet beach. We spent a full day in this paradise swimming, relaxing, and watching the locals surfing. A very memorable relaxing beach day, indeed!!
We were there in November and the roads hadn’t yet been graded, so traveling was a bit of an adventure. We rented a large 4X4 SUV for our trip and we were happy to have made that decision, because some of the potholes were rather large! The road crews were out when we left, grading and repairing the road in preparation for the dry season. We greatly enjoyed our Zipline Tour with Miss Sky, and the Tomcar adventure with Howling Monkeys, sunset on the beach close to Olga’s and our dinner at La Lunas.
Thank you Erin and Peter for all you did to make this a week in Paradise, one we will always treasure.
Bill, Sandy, Elayna, Jan, & Gerry.
