Wonderful House & Location!
Duna House is tucked away in the jungle, you don't even know there are neighbours around you. It's a lovely, clean house with everything you need (make sure you bring your own shampoo tho). It's within walking distance to a small market store and several restaurants. Definitely a must to check out!

No recibimos lo que contratamos
En nuestra visita a Casa Duna, en Playa Chiquita de Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica, tuvimos una experiencia bastante desagradable. Rentamos esta propiedad porque queríamos disponer de una piscina privada. Nuestra sorpresa fue que al llegar el agua de la piscina estaba turbia. Recibimos una solución momentánea, al permitirnos utilizar la piscina de otra de las casas de la Villa, con la condición de que solo fuera en los momentos que no estuviera ocupada. Esto no fue por lo que pagamos. Y aunque sabemos que los imprevistos suceden, una buena administración se comunica con los huéspedes y les indica los inconvenientes, ofreciendo opciones para toda la estadía sin que sean los huéspedes quienes tengan que ir descifrando día a día, qué va a suceder con el uso y la limpieza de la piscina. Por otro lado, reportamos que las toallas de baño estaban sucias y la respuesta fue que el agua las mancha. Hemos estado en la zona hospedados en varios lugares y nunca hemos tenido toallas "manchadas". Y si fuera así, vemos que estas deben ser cambiadas con periodicidad. El escurridor de platos estaba herrumbrado, y como sabemos el clima afecta ciertos materiales, por lo que deben buscar utensilios que no se deterioren o bien cambiarlos periódicamente. Reportamos que la caja de seguridad presentaba problemas para cerrarla y no tenía las baterías completas, nunca llegó nadie a solucionarlo, aunque se nos dijo que iba a llegar alguien. Recibimos mensajes confusos por WA que nunca entendimos.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
We loved our stay at Casa Duna. The location is perfect, walking distance to Playa Chiquita and a short ride or drive to Playa Uya. There is a great breakfast spot just south of the property, an easy walk, and a lovely pizza place tucked in behind it. If you want a more laid-back vibe this is a perfect property for you.

Rejuvenating casita in the jungle
This casita was very clean, relaxing, and immersed us in the Puerto Viejo jungle wildlife while also providing a space to be comfortable on vacation with our toddler. The pool was fantastic, area felt private from the other larger casitas next door, and the walk to playa Chiquita was about 10 min walk down our private road, across the main road, and then down a dirt road to an amazing quiet part of the playa. The casita had the essentials for us and they were able to provide a crib for our toddler for a small charge.

Location close to beach with pool
The house was clean, communication was great. The location was about half hour south of Cahuita, actually south of Puerto Viejo, which was unexpected. The closest beach (Playa Chiquita) was great. The area was loud...the house does not have windows, just screens and unfortunately while we were there there were numerous loud neighbors who are very close and on their cell phones outside at 4am. It didn't feel very private. The management was great to deal with and quick to respond. Would have been nice to have some basics like salt, pepper, washclothes, a broom.
