MODERN HOUSE 5 ROOMS WITH POOL AND TERRACE.

My family and another stayed here for 10 days in March and absolutely loved the property. I didn’t personally meet Antonio, but he greeted the other family upon arrival. Xinia, the housekeeper was amazing, warm and friendly. She cooked dinner for all 10 of us one evening and even the picky kiddos loved it!

The house is conveniently located close to a small store and nearby restaurants. You can walk to the beach, but we found it so simple to drive. Thanks to Antonio and staff for keeping the pool clean every day. Having a pool at the house was wonderful.

Even though the temperatures were 90 degrees (F) every day, we stayed cool on the patio. We spent most afternoons and evenings out there.

It truly was an amazing place to stay and I can’t recommend it enough!

Gracias, Antonio and Xinia! We hope to come back again!

We very much enjoyed staying at Sergio’s house in Playa Carrillo! A wonderful place to stay to celebrate a 60th birthday with a small group of family and friends! The house is spacious, kitchen is easy to use and large enough for several to maneuver within, two refrigerators very useful, the pool was absolutely stunning and our favorite area to relax, and the landscaping very nicely done, …everything was so beautiful! The house is very functional with comfortable beds, each with its own bathroom, individual adjustable air conditioner, and ceiling fan. The rest of the house did not have air conditioners but the ceiling fans inside and on the deck were adequate for coolness and comfort. All linens and towels for home and pool use are provided. House cleaning and care included and we were able to arrange a date and time so it wasn't everyday to to have someone come - so we had some privacy. Two beach chairs are also available for the beach (and very comfortable.) But palm trees also provide shade.

The open design of the dining and living room with TV and cable were fantastic. Large glass doors open on to the outside pool area - although the littler door was easier to slide open compared to the bigger one. There is a nicely shaded wood deck area where we did some morning exercises (yoga, and stretching). Sometimes the ants did their exercises with us -:) There is also a convenient outdoor shower and bathroom.

We walked every morning on an easy short walk slightly downhill to wonderful Playa Carrillo with its open, non crowded , nice beach, warm waters, and could rent chairs and umbrellas. The sunsets were nice to watch. We found the nearby stores convenient and reasonable. We did rent a car, very useful in traveling around the area - which we would recommend. But if not, there are buses, you just need to get the schedule. We often headed to Samara a very short drive - for dinner, drinks, and shopping at the bigger food market. Toured with local vendors on various adventures (loved the "dolphin trip" where we saw humpback whales and so many pilot whales.) Traveled to nearby Oro River, kayaked during high tide, and visited the ARA project where they help MaCaws. The House is a comfortable, nice place to stay - especially with close friends and family. Saw monkeys, iguanas, birds etc……we hope to return for another celebration one day soon. Thank you Sergio, and Xinia too!

Loved everything about it

We had a wonderful stay at the property. We enjoyed every aspect of the property and had a great time exploring Carrillo and Samara. The house is a great base for exploring the area.

We love Costa Rica and we cannot speak fondly enough of the experience at Casa Moderna/Guanomo. The place was perfect for our family reunion. It slept all 20 of us comfortably for an entire month and the staff are wonderful, caring people with an attentive eye and a beautiful customer serving spirit.

The house is truly the place pictured in the photos and the area is peaceful and serene. Clean, spacious, safe, well-kept! Not too far from town and Playa Carrillo beach. But close enough to walk to the local grocery store, the church and small cafes, and restaurants for a home cooked meal. All of which were important to the success of our stay.

In addition, the swimming pool was immaculately kept on a daily basis. The gardens and courtyard areas as well. The housekeeping was never missed including staff providing additional tasks not included such as help with breakfast and laundering. Seeing is truly believing at Casa Moderno / Guanomo.

We give this property five star status. Pura vida, Casa Moderna and staff! Pura vida, Costa Rica!
