Our family of five really enjoyed our three nights at this beach house. While we couldn't swim due to powerful surf and currents--which I suspect is fairly common in these parts--we absolutely loved the peaceful location, the sound of the crashing surf, the amazing pool and well-kept grounds. The property manager lives in an adjoining unit, ensuring check-in and out are smooth, and any concerns are addressed promptly. The layout of the home is a bit unconventional, in that the master bedroom is separated by a curtain, and the other bedrooms are accessed from a second floor veranda, but we made it work and loved hanging out in the veranda's hammock. Definitely an oasis of peace and relaxation. The addition of AC would make this a 5/5 for us.

Absolutely fantastic location! Giant almost empty beach, great views from the house. Pool was decent sized with lots of seating around. So much more space than it looks in the pictures. Had some beach toys, boogie boards, 2 fridges for plenty food and drinks. Rooms were large and deck was so spacious. Everything was very secure. Daniel, the caretaker, really helped us find surf lessons for kids and helped us understand more about the rip currents. Wish we had more time to stay. Had lots of fans so the heat without air conditioning wasn't a problem. Saw lots of crabs, scarlet macaws, rays in the ocean. Thanks for the stay!

So grateful to Mary and Brad for opening their house, Paradise Found, to us. We had a magical experience: the proximity to the beach, the tranquility and wildness of the area, the simple beauty of the house and the land. We absolutely loved it. Kids accidentally broke a little pipe of the outdoor shower and the caretaker was able to solve the situation immediately. Thank you. We would love to be back.

Paradise Found what a gem..

We loved our stay at Paradise Found. The beach was perfect for the younger kids, always felt they were safe in the water, and best of all the water was warm! The pool was a bonus!! The boys had access to boogie boards, kayak and surf boards. The bike was a lot of fun to ride on the beach, too! The location is a bit from the airport but was close to what we wanted to do. The best part was how private and safe the location was. The set up for us was just what we needed. Will be wanting to come back sometime!!

Enjoyed every moment!

We stayed 9 days at Paradise Found and can't wait to return. The location is unbeatable if you're looking for privacy and a peaceful, uncrowded beach. This was just our speed. We'd wake up and have coffee on the balcony while watching the birds, walk/swim along the beach, dip in the pool (which was kept perfect & clean thanks to the kind caretaker, José), then head out to explore midday before making it back to a spectacular sunset night after night. This location is ideal for short day trips to nearby national parks (make sure to book tickets in advance to Manuel Antonio), farmers markets in Jacó or Quepos, and other adventures. A rental car is a must. The house is perfectly clean and stocked with everything you need. We overpacked -- just bring your suits, sun block, and be ready to have the best time in such a beautiful country. I could go on and on about the kindness of the people, the fruit, the landscape, everything. The vacation of our dreams.

The perfect beach retreat

When selecting a VBRO for our Costa Rican vacations we have three requirements- on the beach, away from crowds, and in our budget. Paradise Found was a perfect fit. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with not much traffic. Small town near by for groceries and a few good restaurants. The majority of tourists go north to Jaco or South to Manuel Antonio so during the week there is very few people on the beach. The beach is spectacular! It was so nice not to have to pack up to go to the beach, it’s Right out the front door - clean, flat, expensive, sand, not rocky. Great for walking, running, even biking. We did a lot of body surfing and boogie boarding. The garage at the house is full of boogie boards, surf boards, and bikes to use. There are also beach chairs available, in the evenings we would cook our dinner and take it to the beach and watch the set. The house is clean, well maintained and adequately supplied. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces, we spent a lot of time reading and playing games on the porch and balcony. The views are beautiful and the pool refreshing. We thoroughly enjoyed stay at Paradise Found.

Lovely Paradise found

My husband and I spent 3 idyllic weeks at Paradise Found. The most relaxing time. We walked the beautiful beach, took a few day trips and walked down the beach in the late afternoons for Happy Hour at Encantata Yoga retreat and restaurant. After 12 days we were joined by our daughter, her girlfriend and their 3 children. The pool on the property was a godsend, a great place to cool off and relax. The sea and surf were warm and fun to play in and having beach chairs and umbrellas a wonderful addition. My husband also blew up the tires on the bikes in the garage and the girls used them for bike rides with the children. We went to the Mono Galosa Chocolate Factory, the Chino Monkey Boat Tour, Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfalls and hiked through the Rain Maker Forest. All were wonderful attractions and not too busy. We also went horseback riding on the beach, a real treat for the children. Esterillos is quiet, private and not touristy at all. The house though rustic had everything we needed and the Lanai up top is cool and shady on hot afternoons. Thank you! Mary We hope to be back again next year.

Great location and getaway

This was a great place to get away from the touristy areas and enjoy a relaxing week on a quiet beach. The house was definitely rustic but in a good way. The most rustic part was having no A/C so make sure you are comfortable at night sleeping with fans blowing to try and keep things cool. Having the pool was wonderful as it helped cool things off after being on the beach all day. The kitchen was well stocked and we were relieved that the blender worked well. This might sound trivial, but we like to make smoothies from all of the fresh fruit and having a good blender is key. We cooked meals in the house half of the time and is was never a problem finding the dishes, pots or utensils to complete the job. Jose the caretaker set up the horseback ride for us was available if we needed something. I had to work while I was here and the internet worked fairly well as I was able to navigate most websites quickly and use applications from work without lag. I did run into problems with wifi calling on my cellphone which was unstable for several phone calls. Overall great stay and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Location

Our first time to costa Rica was amazing! We stayed here for 8 nights with my parents and our 2 kids. House is on some amazing property. Right across from the beach. We collected so many shells! Amazing to walk out the bedroom and see the ocean. Kids loved the pool. The location is 20 out of 10. Peaceful. Lots of Privacy. Only a few people drove passed. This location was central to all the activities we had planned. Seriously an amazing location. We were not prepared for the humidity of Costa Rica. We knew it was going to be warm but did not factor in 80% humidity. Sleeping, at night, with no AC was a challenge. We knew the house didn't have AC and hoped there was fans. Which there are in the bedrooms. Would have liked the house to be a little more bug and critter proofed. We kept the bedroom doors closed at all times. And tried to keep the mainfloor locked up too. There are gaps in the ceiling in the bedroom we stayed in. A cockroach fell on us one night. Lizards are everywhere which my kids loved catching them. But still prefer them and roaches to stay outside. Overall we had an amazing time! Definitely will be back to Costa Rica!

Paradise Found Indeed!!!

Paradise Found is a gem of a property! Eight of us stayed quite happily in the house for a week. The beds and bedrooms are comfortable although there is no air conditioning. The ceiling fans and oscillating fans helped quite a bit (as did sound of the waves). Each bedroom has a private bathroom (two full baths and a half bath). The first floor is one large open space with a sitting area and small flat screen tv (which we didn't use once :) on one side and a large, well equipped eat-in kitchen on the other (with a half bath in the middle). We didn't spend much time inside as there was a large, covered patio with several sitting areas to enjoy the outdoors. We played cards/board games, sipped delicious Costa Rican coffee, and ate several dinners on a large table on the side of the wrap around patio. The in-ground pool in the front yard is wonderful! There are plenty of floats and toys for the kids to use in the garage. There are also surf boards, boogie boards and other things to use on the beach. Speaking of the beach, the sand is dark, fine and quite soft to walk on. It goes on for quite a ways in both directions and we hardly saw more than a handful of people on any given day. It was as if the entire stretch was our own private beach. It is very wide and flat when the tide is out and there is nothing to poke your feet in the water. The ocean was the perfect temperature (no need to "get used to it") and very clear. The waves closer to shore were perfect for our little ones while the bigger waves further out were great for surfing or boogie boarding. The only downside to the beach were the sand fleas after sunset, but bug spray should take care of them. The caretakers (Jose, Jennifer and their son Daniel) were terrific. Daniel speaks English very well and made some great recommendations. There are several markets and restaurants nearby and lots of great activities. We thoroughly enjoyed the Mangrove Monkey Tour with Crazy Alex (1/2 hour away). Monkeys jump on your shoulder/head and eat banana from your hand. We also loved horseback riding on the beach booked through the farm down the road. Ziplining with nearby Chiclets was a highlight as we went down 14 ziplines above and through the jungle canopy while getting great ocean views. Overall, we had an amazing vacation at Paradise Found! Pure Vida!

Absolute Paradise

This property was a dream come true for our family. We brought our adult children for a vacation. Excellent communication from owners. Amazing views, clean and refreshing pool, and the ocean/beach is right there! The house is fun; all areas are spacious. Property is private and always felt safe. José (the caretaker) lives on the property. He was helpful when needed but otherwise we barely knew when he was there. We spent a lot of time on both the upper and lower porches. Enjoyed the wildlife (didn’t see any monkeys here though) and beautiful foliage. Took turns taking naps on the hammock. The dirt road to the property is a bit bumpy but totally worth it. We spent a lot of time in Jaco (about 30 min away). Activities included: shopping, zip lining, Manuel Antonio Natural Park, ATV tour to waterfall and lunch, and ended our week with a farewell dinner adventure at the top of a mountain. We also rode the waves in the ocean on the provided boogie boards and spent hours just talking, reading, swimming and enjoying the sun. It did rain off and on, here and there, but not once did it get in the way of our plans. Lots of beautiful sunshine. I could go on and on, but if you are considering trying this property, don’t hesitate a minute longer. We had the best time here and made some family memories to last a lifetime.

Perfect location

The location is just everything. The house was the perfect size for our family and had everything that we needed during our stay. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a long hot day. We basically had the beach to ourselves. We felt safe while staying here. I would have loved to stay longer, and I hope we get to stay again one day.

A little slice of paradise!!

You know those VRBO listings where you wonder if the property really is that gorgeous or if they just took really great pictures? This property really is that gorgeous! The grounds are lush and green, the flowers are vibrant, the pool is sparkly and clean, the home is comfortable and authentic! The beach really is that quiet and the sand is softer than you can imagine! Jose, the caretaker, is there if you need him but never intrusive! Each bedroom has more than one fan which makes sleeping at night comfy even when it's 80 degrees and they all open onto the upper deck that faces the ocean so you get that wonderful breeze!! Each room has plenty of towels for the shower and the beach and the garage is stocked with all the beach necessities you might need! Communication with the property owner is as easy as can be and they are quite possibly some of the nicest people I have ever rented from! They truly want your stay to be as amazing as possible! I could go on forever about how great our trip was but I think the fact that we were already looking at dates for our next trip says it all. Book this house...you won't be sorry!

Wonderful Location.

We've stayed at Paradise Found several times and it is my happy place. The location is quiet and lovely. Kids spend hours in the pool and jump out only to play in the waves. You can take the long and lovely beach walk to local restaurants and horse rides. The location at the end of a dirt road is remote, so a car is recommended. As with any beach in this area, you need to be careful of rip currents. However, with the gradual slope of the beach, it is easy for children to play safely.
