We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home in Playa Negra. The house is stunning, with amazing views and the most peaceful, private beach just steps away—it truly felt like paradise. Perfect spot for a family or group of friends looking to relax and reconnect.The setting is serene, the house is well-designed, and waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean every morning was unforgettable. Emilia was incredibly kind and helpful—she met us when we arrived and made sure we felt right at home.A couple of helpful things to know: there’s no washer/dryer in the house - like it’s listed. Instead, the housemaid (Maria—who was great!) takes the laundry offsite and brings it back clean and quickly. It worked well, but there were times we wished we could do a quick wash or dry something ourselves.Also, be aware that you can’t flush ANY toilet paper at this property due to the septic system. This was new for us (even after two previous trips to Costa Rica), so it took a little getting used to.And lastly, the roads to the house are very rough—very typical for Costa Rica, but worth noting if you’re traveling with anyone who has back issues. The roads are 100% worth the quiet and private beach. That said, we would 100% stay here again. The house, the beach, the peace and privacy—it’s all unforgettable. Highly recommend!Close restaurants we absolutely loved — Lola’s, Cafe Playa Negra, BernarDos in Playa Junquillal.
