The casa sets back from the Hotel next door, so you don't even know it is there, but it is a very nice feature to have in case you want good food or a cocktail, The beaches are the best around, quite, black warm soft sand is perfect for walks on the beach, We also have a Lady who gives the best massages right on the beach, so relaxing, listening to the waves, and the breeze is perfect, a great way just to unwind and forget about work, Her Name and number are available upon request. Also we found wonderful places to eat and party, or just chill, We always go to Encantada on Esterillos-Este,on Thursday 4-6pm happy hour live music on the beach!! the most beautiful sunsets!!!!!

Our stay was amazing. We enjoyed Playa Bejuco everyday, usually in the evening. The location made it easy to get to Manuel Antonio, and other local attractions. Markets were readily available, the kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook; or there are plenty of local restaurants. Cindy helped us organize a cooking class in her home. Luis was great, as well. We saw amazing bird life, and plenty of iguanas, and even white faced monkeys…right from the pool. Cindy had a lot of games, as well. (Even a new one (for us) that we will order when we get home.)

Enjoyable stay

Lovely pool and outdoor area. Despite being next to a hotel, property is secluded. Esterillos Town Center and Parrita town as well as the laid back, quiet beaches of Bejuco and Esterillos are about 10-15 mins away (by car). The owner, Cindy, was very communicative and provided a wealth of information regarding restaurants and things to do in the area. Luis the property manager was wonderful and available for any questions we had. We loved the daily monkey and iguana visits. Thank you for a lovely week in beautiful Costa Rica!

We felt that the property was much nicer than it appears in the listing. They have one quiet neighbour, and lots of wildlife! Monkeys came to visit as well as geckos, iguanas, parrots etc. All communication with Cindy and Mark felt like we were dealing with old friends. Very accommodating and flexible, and they had plenty of local tips that were all very helpful and made our stay much better! We’d love to go back. We’ll be recommending this listing to our friends!

A wonderful vacation for my family of 5

Our family if 5 ( kids ages 13, 18, 20) had a fantastic experience in this rental. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. We loved to watch the monkeys that visited daily. The birds and iguanas were fascinating. We used pool and cabana each day. The location was great for driving to actives such as zip lining, rain Forrest hikes, white water rafting, surfing and beach days ( all within an hour drive or less). We also ate at some wonderful restaurants. Most of our activities and restaurants were suggested by our host. We would definitely rent here again!

Winter escape!

We arrived late at night after a very long day to be greeted by the lovely Luis! The property was spotless and welcoming, we immediately jumped into the lovely pool under the starry sky! The next morning, and every morning there after, the monkeys entertained us, along with a whole array of other wildlife. The house had everything we could possibly need and was close to everything we could possibly want. Cindy and Luis were both available for recommendations and suggestions. All together this was a lovely month of respite from the Canadian winter. Thank you Cindy and Mark for sharing this lovely place.

Great house for making family memories

Our family had a wonderful time at this house. The kitchen was nice a big with all you need ... minus the groceries, which the grocery store was an easy 10 minutes down the road in Parrita. There is a hotel next door, but the house still seems secluded. The pool was the highlight by far. We loved swimming with the kids and watching the monkeys come right up to the pool and eat the bananas we left in the basket. We even saw several poison dart frogs and iguanas. The main road is easy to drive, so getting out and seeing the sights was very easy to do. Cindy is very happy to offer recommendations for the area, and she was very responsive. The house does not require a 4x4. Very happy with our choice to stay here.

Perfect location to enjoy the coast

Our family loved this home with the outdoor hut and pool being the favorite, along with the monkeys that visit by the pool. The property is set back a bit with a lovely away from the crowds vibe. Luis was so helpful, and Cindy recommended Jeisen for surfing lessons and mangrove tour and we opted for these instead of the bigger touristy options. Our kids loved it and we would all recommend! Jeisen also recommended visiting Rainmaker mountain and we had the entire place to ourselves hiking the hanging bridges and waterfalls. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Great location for such activities. The house has a lived in feel so if you are looking for white sheets and a crisp AC air, this is not for you. Actually then Costa Rica probably isn't for you! (: We loved it.

Off the beaten path comfy place to stay

The reservation and check in process was super easy. Luis, who looks after the property, is a gem. He is super helpful and knows the area well. We felt welcomed from the minute we arrived. The property is located next to a hotel which has its pros and cons. You can eat at the restaurant but there may also be music and noise later in the evening. The home is equipped with everything. The pool is also lovely especially when you get back from the beach and want a cool dip. This home has a lived in feel, lots of beach themed art. If you are looking for a steril hotel kind of vacation home this might not be it. We used the ac units in the bedrooms at night to drop the humidity and dampness. Great stay overall including the monkeys that came to say hello at the pool.

Not good

When we first arrived to check in the male owner was there and seemed to be drunk, gave us a quick walk thru, the batteries to our A/C in our bedroom were dead. He did find some but not until I pressed him on way it wasn’t working. He neglected to tell us not to put our toilet paper in toilets so by morning the toilets were plugged. I called them and they said they would be there in 1 hour well 3 hours later they got there. He told us to add water to the pool every day cause the pool leaked. So we did what we were told.Now they are blaming us for the pool turning green. They insinuated that we peed in the pool and went in with lotions on. Also we know nothing about chemicals in a pool but if we have to add water every day they should have had someone monitor the chemicals. It also rained heavily one day so the pool did turn green the afternoon before we left. They are also trying to blame us for a broken hinge on a Kitchen cupboard which was already loose when we checked in and are stating the one of up pulled on it hard and broke it. She said that she would for give that cause she knows we didn’t break it. She has continued to harass me about this and now wants me to pay. Never again will I go thru Vrob

We loved everything about this house. The owners are fantastic - they were quick to help us with suggestions on all the best places and must-sees in the area. The house was beautiful.

Authentic and Comfortable

This property is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to be close to all kinds of activities if we wanted to do things, but secluded and comfy if we wanted to do nothing at all. And we did not want a touristy resort or hotel. We wanted an authentic Costa Rica home where we could soak up the Pura Vida culture. From the friendly sloth who visited each day to the beautiful blooming flowers and the refreshing oool, we loved our stay. But the best part of renting this home is the owner, Cindy!! She is a great consistent communicator and truly wants to help make your stay in CR exactly what YOU want. She is full of so much knowledge and experience and connections! From local spots to eat to shopping to fishing to beaches and tours, she knows them all!! So pick her brain because she was our best resource both before the trip and during the trip. We fell in love with CR thanks to Cindy and her home. We can’t thank her enough. Pura Vida!!

Exotic Private Retreat

Cathy and I spent a month at Mark and Cindy’s house and it was a delight. Being our first trip to Costa Rica, we were especially looking forward to getting close to nature and seeing the indigenous animals - the house is situated right up against a forest that brought monkeys, sloths, exotic tree squirrels, macaws, iguanas and much more. The house is minutes off the coastal road between Jaco and Quepos/Manuel Antonio - so we could drive in either direction for a variety of beaches, restaurants and activities. The nearby beach of Bejuco is only less than 15 minutes away - our go-to for playing in the surf. The house is equipped with all the necessities and we found ourselves spending time in the tiki hut ... or palapa and the swimming pool and patio. We especially enjoyed the refreshing pool, spending time there so least twice a day. The bedrooms are air conditioned and the beds were perfectly comfortable. We had the benefits of living like a local.

An incredible place to stay in Costa Rica

Mark and Cindy's house is the perfect house to visit for an amazing time in Costa Rica. I'll name a few of the very long list of reasons why. My girlfriend and I arrived to the house at night where Carmen, the incredibly kind caretaker, met us and gave us the keys, walked us around the house and gave us recommendations on places to visit. Over the course of the next few days Carmen and Cindy were always both available to answer questions and help out if we couldn't find something. We spent the first few days of our trip simply enjoying the property which kept us busy between swimming in the amazing pool and watching birds, monkeys, iguanas and geckos roam around. FYI - It gets hot during the dry season, but the rooms have AC which was always a relief to have at the end of each day. The outdoor shower works really well too! We went to the nearby Hotel Pelicano for dinner and to watch the sunset for at least 6 of the 11 nights we spent in Costa Rica (it's incredible for the food and the view). The sunsets were simply insane and we collected some pretty shells as well... El Chiringuito was our second favorite spot for food. We did a night tour at Rainmaker Park which was absolutely incredible. If you decide to go (we highly recommend it), book your tour through Ann or Mick on their website and ask for Luis to be your guide. If you go during the dry season, try to wait for one of the few rains during the season for your trip - it makes the experience much more incredible. We eventually saw the female sloth in the trees with her baby, she came down within 10 feet of us and we got some incredible photos. To see a sloth in the backyard is a very, very memorable moment. She hung out there for a few days until we left, so every morning after we saw her, we went out to feed the monkeys and iguanas and say hi to the sloth and her baby. The house is between two major national parks; Manuel Antonio, and Carara National park - we recommend visiting both. For your guide, if you find Franklin Sanchez - go with him! The house is close to Maxi Pali, a great grocery store that has everything you need, and the bank which is just down the road. There are so many places to eat at nearby, it's hard to choose sometimes... If you can make the drive towards Jaco, VistaMar is also an amazing place for an outdoor lunch where you can see and hear the ocean. In the end, we are so grateful we chose Mark and Cindy's house for our adventure. We will definitely be back!!

We have a great time, quiet like Paradise.

The house is very nice and well equipped, all bedrooms have ac and ceiling fans. The swimming pool is very cosy and the best of all are the monkeys..... Nearest beaches are more for surfing rather than swimming, but national park Manuel Antonio is only 45 min away . The place is very relaxing and you won't notice any noise from the hotel.

Awesome house to stay in Esterillos / Parrita area

I stayed at Mark and Cindy's for two nights with some friends. We loved it, and would have liked to be there longer. The AC in the bedrooms is really nice to have, and the backyard / pool area is really fun to hang out in. We had a big group of monkeys come through a few times and eat the fruit we left out for them. Really awesome place to stay, and Mark and Cindy made it very easy to enjoy! Highly recommended!!

Comfortable and enjoyable place!

Our family of four stayed at Mark and Cindy's house over Easter week and we had an enjoyable and relaxing time at their house. The kitchen is well equipped and packed with utensils. The decor made us feel at home, we loved all the art work around the house. Plan on getting one of the small bags of charcoal per use of the grill. It was really nice to have access to plenty of towels! The wifi worked really well And the property is secluded and surrounded by a wonderful landscape of lush trees and forest. We saw a lot of iguanas climbing the trees and sunbathing by the roof. The capuchin monkeys also came to the backyard. You can definitely enjoy birding in the early mornings. Bring your binoculars! The pool was super clean and we enjoyed swimming during the day and night. The location is perfect, only 40 min from Manuel Antonio National Park and 25 minutes from Jaco (Great for shopping). Cindy helped us find surfing instructors only 15 minutes from the house at Esterillos Este. The beach was wonderful, Great for young and older kids! Luis is a friend and neighbor of Mark and Cindy's. He was very kind and helpful. He made sure we felt comfortable and offered some suggestions for activities around the area. Luis uses whatsapp and is fluent in English. All in all, a great house for our family of four, thanks!!! The Braemer's

Well worth it!

arrived June 8- June 14, 2016- We were a group of 11, which included 8 adults and 3 kids (4,5, &9). The house was spacious, we used the three bedrooms and the futon in the living room. There were a couple of issues but nothing major. The people are very friendly and the owners especially Cindy are very helpful. The pool is beautiful and is well maintained. We had dinner under the cabana many nights. We also used a local cook Paula and Jerry, they were on time everyday and the food was amazing, also very accommodating. Cindy can provide you with the information. The only draw back is that there were some items in the fridge and cabinets. Which made it hard to store food or keep track of what was our and what wasn't because everyone in our group was buying things. Also there is no clothes dryer, so if you go to the beach everyday and it rains outside the towels do not dry in time to be used the next day. Finally one of the bedrooms does not have a/c, which at night was not too bad but falling asleep at 7 or 8pm in a hot room was difficult but it did cool down during the night. The house more than makes up for those small set backs. The property is really nice, safe and secure. Luis and Carmen are very helpful and Gavello is the maintenance guy but there is no contact information for him listed. We scheduled to have the cleaning lady come in two days but somehow it did not get booked, but Luis was able to get a cleaning lady from the hotel next door. The people in the area are very friendly and everyone is willing to help you, or find you someone that can. I wouldn't mind returning and would definitely recommend the house but with those tips given. Ask the owner for the contact of the person who is supposed to let you in the house before the arrival, they are not on site like other home rentals. Oh I forgot to mention all of the animals, the monkeys came to visit us while we were at the pool.Toucans, black squirrels, and something that liked to scratch on the garage door! LOL!

Thanks for the review, we are working on making everything better for the stay, the scratching was Ms. Iguana she lives in the gutter above garage/ bedroom, she has been part of our Family for 5 years, she loves fruit!!! When she comes down from roof we put fresh fruit for her on the deck and take pics all the iguanas are so cool!!! We need another AC unit in 3rd bedroom (4 sure ) but the dryer I'm not sure ,,, we do have a close line by patio that I use the 3 months we are there, electric is SOOO high there and dryers are the worst!!!! Next to AIR, we need better wifi for the guest who have to work , and Yes Luis and Carmen are wonderful , and Having Letecha come in and Clean is a MUST !!! Thanks again!!! PURA VIDA

Hi, We are Mark and Cindy Wenzel, We live in Eagle River, Wisconsin, where we have our own business, Wenzel Siding & Roofing, for 37 years, no Retired! since the winters are SO brutal here, & We love Costa Rica, been going for 12 years and finally found our perfect piece of heaven on earth, On the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, We looked for 3 years until we found the casa for us. I lived in Vero Beach, Florida for 25 years before moving to Wisconsin and marring my childhood sweetheart, Mark, We both were born in Waukegan, Illinois. We spent the winters in Costa Rica for the last 5 years, Just this year we have decided to rent our casa out, so others can enjoy all the beauty Costa Rica has to offer. If the casa is rented when we go, January- March, we can visit other parts of Costa Rica's awesome beauty.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Well we looked for 3 years, either the places were to far up the moutains on very rough roads, or in noisy towns, like Jaco or Quepos, when we came across this property I knew right away this was it, Brand new casa, We put the pool in, screens on windows, and had the Rancho/Tiki built, It's perfect,and only a 25 minute drive if we want to go to the big towns, but Parrita is only 6 minutes from our casa,where we do our Grocery shopping,Fresh fruit markets, Awesome Bakery, Pharmacy,Liquor store, it's just your local Tiko Town. They just built a brand new HUGE Town Center a few miles from our house, this plaza has a grocery store liquor store, restaurants, bakery,salon, antique store, place to book your excursions!!! BONUS!!! plus we have the monkeys, sloth, you don't see in the big towns or on the beach, best of both worlds, love this property!!!!!

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Casa Marko Cindy has great WIFI!! We built a Really nice Tiki rancho, 10 degrees cooler under tiki which is wonderful at times when chillin' in hammocks, or rocking in the rocking chairs. sunning or lounging by the pool, quite, lots of wildlife, perfect place to read that novel, while listening to the birds sing, two outdoor eating areas, lush jungle property, with lots of beauty, flowers, palms, just what you would expect to see in such a tropical paradise, comfortable beds and clean soft pillows, nice sheets. I'm fussy about my bedding, It has to be relaxing and comfortable to get a good night sleep,,,,ENJOY,,,,,, PLEASE NO SMOKING IN CASA, thank You.
