Privat oceanfront villa med smukke strand, spektakulære solnedgange

We enjoyed the location and views this house provided. We loved that it was remote enough yet close enough to everything you need. The beach out in front gave us great snorkeling and amazing shell hunting while a short 5 minute drive down to the public beach gave us amazing boogie boarding waves. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed eating outside for every meal. The upstairs main area is warm without AC but the bedrooms were cool for sleeping. The upstairs is accessed from an exterior staircase which is good to know in case you have smaller children or someone who doesn't do stairs well because they are steep. The pool is a perfect size for cooling off. Some of the doors rattle or won't stay closed when it is windy out so hopefully everyone is a heavy sleeper!

We got groceries in Santa Cruz and just got daily needs at the little market just down the road. They had everything we needed. We enjoyed pizza and Tatanka as take out. Guacamaya Lodge was our go to for breakfast. Everything we ate there was amazing and the owners were very kind and accommodating to us with little kids. The fruit there was amazing. We also ate at Lochitos which is a local run restaurant. The menu was in English and Spanish but she only spoke Spanish but we managed and managed to have another fabulous meal. We had food delivered on the day of our arrival from Ventana. The lasagna was good but that was about all that was good from there. It was nice to have food when we got there but I wouldn't get it from there again. We also did one date night to Villa Deevena and it was well worth the night drive! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was just as great. We would highly recommend this for a nice night out. We also went in to Tamarindo and had a long two hour lunch at Noguis which was the worst place we ate and took way too long. That is another place we would not return to but it is a nice area to walk around and get your souvenirs. We went to the pottery town but be ready to speak spanish and have cash! We also did the river tour Hacienda Viejo and enjoyed all of it, the cultural tour, the river tour and the Rum tour.

We rented a car and had and easy time with rental and return. The airport is easy to navigate as well. We were glad we had our own vehicle to explore the area. We got my mom to the house using TPV tours and she enjoyed the driver and all that he taught her about Costa Rica.
