Property is stunning, incredibly relaxing, gorgeous grounds and quiet. The owner, Erinn, couldn’t have been nicer or more responsive and helpful. This is truly the perfect place for a family and friends vacation. This is the one.

Our stay at Casa Bella was absolutely wonderful. The home is comfortable, well appointed, immaculately clean and beautiful. Our grandchildren in particular loved the beautiful swimming pool and the monkeys, birds, lizards, agoutis and other animals that visited us there. Everything was exactly what we expected from the description. Erinn, our host, was awesome. She responded quickly when we had questions, made great recommendations for guides, restaurants, shops - she’s a delightful person and we enjoyed getting to know her. We highly recommend this VRBO!

Amazing Property in the Jungle
We had an amazing stay. This is a gorgeous place for larger groups. Monkeys, sloths, butterflies all visited the property. The beach is a short walk away and the grounds are beautiful!

Caribbean paradise for our family
We spent a week at this lovely home. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and suited our family of 8. The pool was one of the best we've ever experienced and the wildlife in the surrounding trees and grounds were abundant (sloths, monkeys, and birds galore). Like any place you would stay in a tropical climate, there are also bugs, critters, etc. both inside and outside of the houses! Erinn, Melvin and the cleaning crew were easy to work with and kind. Easy to walk to the grocery store, restaurants, and the beach as well! A wonderful stay for all of us!

Our family gathered at Casa Bella for 10 days and can’t say enough good about the location and hosts. It is such a unique, beautiful, and comfortable home base for exploring the Puerto Viejo region.

Wonderful spot just outside (south side) of Puerto Viejo, the owner and host Erinn was very helpful and communicative. The jaguar rescue is near by and worth a visit, and the beaches of Punta Uva are as well. We had a great week long stay in this spot and would come again.

Perfect getaway
The property was beautiful, lots of room for the seven of us, the kids loved staying in their own casitas and made as good use of the pool as we did of the beach. The area is quiet but has so much in walking or walking distance. I can't say enough about our hosts and their warm, friendly support and helpfulness in making suggestions, arranging drivers, providing some gift basket items to get us started. We had a wonderful week at Casa Bella.

Bonita Casa!
Went with my adult children and their spouses, and my 77 year old mother! The grounds were amazing. We saw howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, parrots, parakeets, geckos, the most beautiful butterflies you’ve ever seen, hummingbirds in many different sizes. We were a couple block walk from the beach and restaurants. Our host Erinn was fabulous. Super helpful with any of our needs. The house has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. It is the jungle, howler monkeys will wake you up with their amazing howls very early in the morning, but it’s a have to experience moment. There are a lot of bugs, be prepared to wear bug spray, but again, it’s the jungle. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location & Base To Explore
When you see that this VRBO has such high ratings, there is a reason. It was fabulous! The property is as beautiful as the pictures. You are tucked into the jungle, but within walking distance to a grocery store, roadside market, restaurants, and the beach. The walking path to the beach is even magical. The landscaping on the property is a vacation all on its own. We saw monkeys, a cute agouti family, beautiful birds and butterflies, and even a sloth. We went in the "rainy season" (June) and were a bit nervious about what that would look like, but that was even magical. It rained everyday, but not for very long, and I kept talking videos off the back porch, because it was so beautiful, warm, and relaxing. We took a dance class on the back patio with a local lady that Erinn recommended. The house was open, comfortable, and felt in harmony with the beauty of the property. You will see this in other reviews, but Erinn was amazing too. You can tell that she really cares about the time you are having and wants you to feel welcome. She truly goes above and beyond in so many ways. And lastly, I debated going to the Pacific side, or the Carribean side of Costa Rica. I haven't been to the Pacific side yet, but the richness of culture, the natural beauty, the variety of scenery, the friendliness of the locals, the food...even the drive down from San Jose was incredible. We just fell in love with this area, and Casa Bonita was the beautiful home-base of our adventures. Grateful!

Perfect Family Getaway
We arrived a little bit after 8 PM, after a crazy drive from SJO. Erinn was in constant contact with us to help us, and when our GPS did us dirty near Limon, , she knew exactly how to get us back on track and was very patient and kind. The pictures make the house look like a magazine spread, and that's because the house/houses are stunning! Stunning and comfortable. She truly has thought of everything that you would want or need for your stay. The beds in the houses are more comfortable than my own bed at home. As far as located, it's perfectly located to walk over to the bike rentals, get your 8 bikes, and bike all over Puerto Viejo, to Manzanillo, anywhere. We had a rental car and went other places, as well, but the bikes were handy. Some days, we stayed at the pool, cooked on the grill, which was very, very nice, by the way. We are already planning another trip back with friends. Her setup is three buildings: the main house has two bedrooms downstairs, basically an apartment upstairs that is very private (our 20 year old stayed up there the entire time) , and two other separate buildings that are just lovely and very different from each other. The jungle surrounding the property and on the property is so lush and private, you never see or hear anything but nature-many monkeys! I hate to say it, but Erinn has ruined any other rental for me, because she's set the bar so high. You will love this place!

What a fantastic vacation! The property is gorgeous, spacious, and clean! It’s well stocked with necessary items. The pool offers much needed refreshment after hikes/sightseeing. It is well/frequently maintained. The grounds are surrounded by exotic flowers/plants and are frequently visited by (non-threatening) wildlife. The sounds of nature are quite amazing! Darren and Erinn are wonderful! They are very willing to help in any way needed and are a wealth of knowledge. Costa Rica is full of beauty, and a must-do for those who love to explore!

Beautiful & Relaxing
The property gives you the feel that your staying right in nature. Agouti visited daily, we heard howler monkeys, saw a sloth on our walk back from breakfast, and the enjoyed the beautiful sounds of all the birds. We were a little concerned about lack of air conditioning but we were pleasantly surprised. The pool kept us cool during the day and the open air bedrooms with the fans actually got a bit chilly. It was wonderful sleeping to the sounds and fresh air. The house is well stocked, close to the beach, close to the best breakfast at Gypsea and fresh, warm croissants delivered each morning to the local market just down the street. Puerto Viejo and Punta UVA are a short drive, as well as Manzillo Reserve. Erinn did a great job recommending Abel for us as a guide hiking Manzillo - we saw and learned so much, She recommended Herschel for surfing - he was amazing and Jason cooked us 2 great dinners! We relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Don’t let the lack of air conditioning keep you away from this property. It is well worth the trip and Erinn is very responsive to any needs or questions.

Beautiful home/ great location
What a wonderful home! The house was very comfortable and clean and the pool was big and also very clean. It is right next to a reserve (Manzanilla), so there was a sloth and many birds on the property, which was kept with beautiful plants. It was walking distance to the beach. Our family included 2 kids and 2 grandparents and Erinn was very helpful with our questions and advice about things to do.
Lovely vacation!

Excellent Property
The place is as nice as the pictures show. Plenty of room, two air-conditioned bedrooms, laundry room, magnificent pool which was nice to come home to each day and cool off and relax. Cahuita was warm and humid while we were there so having a place to back to and unwind was soooo nice. Erinn is a great host and had some great recommendations but also let us do our own thing. Convenient to restaurants, beaches, grocery store, bikes, which we used a ton. (Bikes are right behind the grocery store). We did not have a car but next time I think I would rent one and make the drive. I highly recommend this place!

This place is amazing. The location, setting, the grounds, the house, the pool are perfect for a get away to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Convenient to multiple restaurants, shops, beaches, and nature. We had visits from many types of birds and animals on the property including a sloth, raccoons, Agoutis, humming birds, and toucans to name a few. The hosts are close by and very helpful with suggestions on where to dine or a place to visit. Thanks Erinn and Darren for your hospitality and a great vacation experience in Costa Rica.

Property and Host are Incredible!
We stayed at Casa Bella for 8 nights (April 2025). We traveled as a party of 8 (4 adults, 4 teens). As will be evident with this review, this was the trip of a lifetime for us, we can’t wait to come back!If you are contemplating travel to Costa Rica, I would encourage you to alter your plans and prioritize travel to “Caribe” or Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. If you are traveling from the major airports, like San Jose, it’s a 4–5-hour transport which you can arrange simply and affordably. Don’t be scared off by that distance, it is a beautiful drive and not a hassle in any regard. Lots of resources to read about the beauty, people, history, culture, pace of life which differs quite a bit from the rest of the country. The owner/host of the property is Erinn. She is incredible - you can have as little or as much contact with her as you desire during your stay. She’s local and available should you have any needs and provides a wealth of resources for restaurants, excursions, transportation or any number of questions you may have. She also is incredibly well connected with any contacts you may need while staying at Casa Bella for out of ordinary requests. She’s extremely responsive and hospitable of the needs of her guests. She connected us to a contact (Tune) who helped us with transport throughout the week and we couldn’t have been more pleased or gotten by without Tune. (Read more in the comments)

Erinn helped with anything we needed. There is a fabulous urgent care facility with in Puerto Viejo just minutes away if you need medical care like we did. I received excellent care from a doctor who spoke English. Tip: wear water shoes at the beaches to avoid getting stung by a rock fish!

This was a perfect spot for a little getaway with two families. We had 4 adults and 3 kids, 12 and 15, with us There was plenty of space for everyone. All of the beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were fantastic and the showers had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. The pool was clean and delightful. The laundry facilities with two sets of washers and dryers were very appreciated. The host was very attentive and took care of our every need.

オーナー : Erinn Bell
We are from Canada where my husband was a carpenter/contractor. We have combined the endurance of Canadian building standards with the beauty of local tropical hardwoods and other artistic touches to create a house that is suited to the Carribean, comfortable, bright and clean. This project brought us to Costa Rica part time for a few years, but we fell in love with the area and now live here year-round. One of the main reasons we've stayed is the food. Foodies of the world should be put on notice, this is a destination for all who love to eat! Some of my favourite meals: Chicken tacos (2x1 Tuesdays) and a super cold cerveza at Tasty Waves Cantina, Ceviche from Nema, Falafel Pita from Pita Bonita, Tenderloin in Green Peppercorn Sauce or sesame crusted tuna with sriracha mayo from Pura Gula, Cappuccino and Pumpkin Chocolate muffin from Caribbean's Coffee House, anything on the menu from Bread and Chocolate, the mediterranean sandwich at Como En Mi Casa, vegetarian eggs benny at Gypsea Cafe. That's just the international flavour...the local cusine you can experience at sodas like Selvin's , Tamara's, Miss Lidia's is phenomenal. Try a whole grilled red snapper with all the fixin's, chicken is caribbean sauce, or 'rondon' seafood soup. Wash it down with a mojito or a pinacolada and you'll know you're in paradise.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
Playa Chiquita is a special place. International flavour blends here with an established local population to create a funky and colourful community - and it is a real community of friendly and creative people. For us the beach is a real draw. Playa Chiquita beach is sheltered by an off-shore reef making it a kid-friendly place to swim. From a series of sandy coves to the coral fringed pools that decorate the points you have your choice: swim, snorkle, wade or wallow. We like to walk the long lonely stretches of beach from here at Playa Chiquita to Manzanillo (2 hours), ending the day with a legendary seafood platter at Maxi's Restaurant. When I first saw our lot I knew we'd hit the jackpot. Tall trees, lime trees, clusters of flowers and sunny open spaces make an ideal spot for birds, sloths and butterflies to drift, fly or hang about. I feel most at home when I'm lounging on the deck, drinking my mojito with limes fresh from my trees and eating fresh cut salsa with wild cilantro picked from my own yard.
この宿泊施設の特徴
With 8+ restaurants/cafes, a grocery store, clothing store, yoga centre, Wednesday/Saturday farmers market, chocolate art cafe and bakery a flip flop away, Playa Chiquita is a small but vibrant village. Our favorite restaurant is Gypsea Cafe...awesome fusion food and rum and homemade cola that is divine. The road from here to Manzanillo (14km round trip) is so peaceful in the morning that we often go for runs, heading out before 7:00 so that we rarely even see a car. Boot camp or marathon training would be great goals to strive for here. The warm air keeps you loose and limber. If you want external motivation for fitness there are yoga classes, swimming lessons for the kids, and a professional personal trainer or a salsa instructor, all happy to add you to their clientelle. Then you can end your day with on-site massage. We have it all on this little half-kilometre stretch of road!
