This is an exceptionally clean, well-appointed house to set up housekeeping in a pleasant, safe, sleepy beach town community while exploring Guanacaste province. My husband and I rented a car for our 3 week stay , but there are local shuttle services between the Liberia airport and Playa Hermosa as well. This VRBO is in a small gated community --a 5 minute walk to Playa Hermosa beach. We divided our time between enjoying local activities: birdwatching, early morning beach walks, swimming in the warm ocean waters and snorkeling. Other beach activities available included: jet-skiing, kayaking, sunset boat tours and fishing tours. While there were several beachfront open-aired restaurants, we enjoyed buying all the wonderful fish, vegetables and fruit and cooking at the VRBO, which has everything one needs to make gourmet meals (including blender for smoothies, electric lime juicer for ceviche as well as a food processor. The VRBO has good air conditioning as well as many well-positioned ceiling fans. We also did day and overnight trips to Santa Rosa, Vieja de Rincon, Palo Verde and Carrara National Parks. Covid mask compliance was universal—from restaurant and grocery store employees to gas station attendants, hotel employees and even roadside venders. Cinthya , the property manager, responded within a few minutes to any questions we had. And the owner, Jan, was also wonderful to communicate with. An added area perk was that the Liberia airport was a very friendly, easy to navigate airport -a welcome change from the busy San Jose airport! Thank you, Jan for sharing your wonderful home with us.
