Beautiful View

When you first walk in the property the view blows you away! The layout is wonderful and the outdoor living spaces are perfect for a larger group. We had 10 adults total. The bedrooms are perfect. We hired a private chef to make our stay more relaxing. I would say my only negative is that the kitchen could use an update and slight cleanup. Otherwise I found the property perfect.

The pictures do not do it justice!

The property was absolutely stunning with very comfortable beds and a sweet kitty named Rubin. David, our concierge and Dennis, the groundskeeper, were extremely helpful every step of the way as well. Two pieces of advice: the WiFi if very weak so I suggest getting an international plan your service provider offers or a SIM card. A lot of us has ATT with the elite plan that covers 200+ countries - one of which is Costa Rica. Second, but water! Unfortunately the fridge’s water dispenser is broken. That aside, the property was lovely!!

Photos don't tell the story

It's a big house, with great views and a great pool, but it's in need of some deep cleaning and kitchen renovation. The house shows beautifully in photos, but when you get inside you see that it's kinda frozen in time. The kitchen, despite being cleaned twice was still beat up. (You want to see how clean a kitchen REALLY is? Check where the garbage is kept - in this case the can is in a drawer, and the wood around the drawer frame is filthy.) The sliding doors are huge, and have great views, but they're old, heavy and have gaps, so they're hard to open and close and they let pests in. The lack of attention to detail in cleaning was also clear from the cobwebs under the console in the living room, or the unusably mildewy theater room. The house is marketed as a multimillion dollar home (and that's probably true) but for a description like that, you'd expect it to be maintained and renovated better.

Family vacation

It’s a large, beautiful casa with incredible views! We had no significant problems, but we’re very thankful for David’s quick response when a breaker failed, shutting down some air conditioning units. The pool was awesome. We had two rental cars and had no trouble going in to Playa del Coco for restaurants and shopping. Numerous nice beaches were nearby, including Coco and Ocotal (by Father Roosters). We were towards the end of the dry season and the bugs were surprisingly not bad at all! We saw two scorpions sneak into the house over the week (just to be aware). WiFi was available and appreciated, but seemed weak and spotty at times. Everyone we encountered was extremely kind and helpful- such a great place to connect with friends or family. Many of our favorite memories we’re gathering together on the amazing covered deck- so comfortable with the breeze, the fans, and the most incredible views. Great choice, and we would return.

Grungy with a spectacular view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house looks beautiful on the surface and the exterior is very well maintained (pool/ gardens) but the inside is filthy. It needs a serious deep clean (especially the kitchen) and constant exterminating for ants in the kitchen. They were in all of our food despite cleaning counters and cabinets daily. There weren’t enough water glasses, the sheets had stains on them, etc. For the price, it needs to be a little less grungy. The property manager and groundskeeper were very responsive to our requests/ needs and the view is spectacular.

Spring break vacation

The house is very spacious but it needs some maintenance. . Dennis is great and very accommodating. Do your research before renting this house as getting around the Guanacaste region was an entire process due to the location of this house and driving distance to places. Always add at least 30-45 min extra when trying to get to places. The location of the house is remote and not easy to access anything. People will tell you is only 10 min drive but reality is 10 min can easily turn in 45 min as the infrastructure of the roads in the area suck.

Great Place for a Family Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family loved this location. When we were at the house we spent most of our time on the porch with fantastic views and plenty of seating for everyone. The indoor rooms were spacious and well appointed. The days were filled with sun, beach, pool, ziplining, surfing in Tamarindo, horseback riding and shopping in the town of Coco. Nights were laid back with a big family dinner prepared at the property or taking a party of 12 to local restaurants. Wildlife is abundant. One morning I filmed a group of monkeys climbing through trees just off the porch area. The property is not in perfect condition. But if you want perfection you should probably seek out a resort.

Gorgeous home. Disappointed in Krain

Let me start by saying that this property is very impressive. It's unfortunate the realty company that runs it did not come through. My MAIN complaint is this: They tried to charge us for damages to the house that we did not cause. We couldn't check in the house without someone escorting us there, which was fine because when we got there, we immediately noticed some things were broken. I was glad to have David there to show him that there were damages upon our arrival. We were not complaining about the condition of the house, but wanted everyone to be on the same page about what condition it was in when we got there. These were big things. A large sliding glass door was unusable because the frame was damaged, unusable exhaust fan above the gas stove, cracked tile in one of the rooms. We walked him through the house and showed him. He took no pictures while he was there. the next day, I got a quote for damages in an email that says we admitted to David that we caused the damage. They said we slammed the door too hard and broke the tile by setting down a suitcase and sent pictures of the damage. We had not even brought luggage to rooms when we showed him the cracked tile. If you look at the pictures, it's obvious the damage wasn't caused how they claim. The door frame (outside) was peeled away opposite the direction it closes and a chunk of stucco was missing right next to it. Clearly wind damage. Cracked tile very close to baseboard. How could you slam luggage hard enough?

House on the hill

The property is exactly as described and then some. We were a group of 6, so there was plenty of room for everyone. David the property manager made sure we had everything we needed. Dennis the on-site grounds keeper is so quiet, you don't even know he's there. Would definitely recommend to large groups.

Beautiful Home with Stunning Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is amazing! The main level is open with windows everywhere. We spent a lot of time outdoors on the patio, relaxing and swimming in the pool. We had a chef make us 3 meals, which were delicious! I would highly recommend them (Krain arranged this). Our guide, Gustavos, was phenomenal as well. He brought us places and we learned so much about the culture in Costa Rica. He took us places at good times, to avoid long lines! Krain helped set up several wonderful excursions, that we loved. The caretaker was also very, very nice, but did not speak any English. He has a kitty, who would be outside our door, and my kids LOVED playing with him. . The location is up on a mountain; we were able to walk to the Ocotal Beach, which took about 15 minutes. You will need car or driver to go most places. We loved going to Father Rooster, which was on Ocotal Beach. The property was very well maintained. Because it's in the mountains, there were bugs, which they sprayed for, but we still saw. It was VERY easy to find and get to. The check-in and check-out process were simple and streamlined.

Numerous light bulbs out. Outside gate needs repaired too as it didn’t always work. Needs to be sprayed as there were scorpions all downstairs. Great house. Great location. Great pool. Just needs a little loving care. Dennis was great but speaks no English. Hard to communicate.

What a beautiful property with even better views! We could not have asked for more. Casa Islana is well appointed, spacious and so comfortable. We all had room to spread out and there was plenty of space to be alone or sit with friends. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. The pool is huge with plenty of towels. Krain was an excellent provider of information and excursions. They even arranged a private chef for us. Dennis, the house caretaker was super helpful and very nice. This home is even better in person. Thank you for opening it up to us!

Maria was fantastic to work with and Dennis was always available to help. We rented golf carts to get into town for groceries, pizza, and the beaches. For excursions we were able to book with transportation which made it easy and not necessary to rent a car. We will have lifelong memories from this vacation.

Spectacular View of the Ocotal Bay

The house is very big, all rooms have ocean views, the ocean view is amazing, 18 minute hard walk to the Ocotal Beach and Father Roosters and be ready for a steep climb back, 10-15 minute cab ride to Coco Beach, cabs are inconsistent with prices, Dennis and Maria were amazing, some of the appliances could be better, and house is well supplied with towels and dishes. We were not impressed with the food at Father Roosters and very expensive. The food and service at Papagayo in Playa Del Coco were fantastic. If you want to go deep sea fishing we highly recommend Captain Dan from Tequila Fish. Costa Rica is beautiful and definitely intend to go back.
