Paradise
Incredible stay in paradise. We loved everything about it. Plenty of room. Air conditioning worked well. Lillian the care taker was around to help. She was a delight. Loved our mostly private beach. The pool was also nice. Lots of surprises made it special. Would recommend it and stay again.

Esterillos beach
The location is excellent. Esterillos beach is spectacular! Lilliam the caretaker was sweet and very helpful. If you need help getting around, surfing or expeditions you should reach out to Jorge and his wife who own Aloha Surf and are also the caretakers of the turtle sanctuary!

Beachfront Paradise!
Casa Sirena is truly wonderful, and we appreciate Emily sharing her little slice of paradise with us. The house is right on the sandy beach, and we enjoyed boogie boarding and playing in the waves for hours and hours! The water is warm and the waves are perfect! We also enjoyed a nice walks (maybe an hour round trip to the mermaid statue and good tide pooling). The beach is not crowded, and it was so relaxing.The house is very nice. There was plenty of space for our family of 5, and it has a homey feel. The pool and yard (and shower!) are lovely. The house is clean and has enough pots and pans and things to cook. We cooked several simple meals. We also enjoyed a couple of wonderful meals at Los Almendros in town. Lilliam was also great helping us.Emily was wonderful giving us advice on activities. We did a waterfall tour (with Costa Rica Waterfall tours) and also ziplining (with Canopy Safaris). Both were great! We ventured down to Manuel Antonio area (but not the park itself). We were so glad we stayed in Estilleros where we could get away from the crowds and relax! We also took surfing lessons with Jorge at Aloha Surf. It was good for our beginner group. Lastly, we had massages at the house (enjoyed by all!) This was a wonderful vacation!

Great location
Pros: house is right on beach, near a small town, non touristy but has the necessary facilities. There is a cute little soaking pool and convenient shower in the front yard. The house has hammocks, boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, beach towels. No life jackets.All bedrooms and living room have powerful air conditioning. Kitchen is well equipped with basic condiments. (Buy water and coffee)Tons of books for adults and kids, tons of games.There is a caretaker who stays on the property and handles cleaning and cooking if you ask for it. She set up hammocks for us, helped understand the washer dryer functions etc. It’s all very informal, non-businesslike, just tip her what you feel is the right amount.Owner was very responsive, friendly and helpful. We had started texting on WhatsApp before the stay and she had great recommendations.Kids enjoyed all the books and games immensely.Cons: not cons really but things that are good to know. Liliana the caretaker doesn’t speak English, be prepared with google translate app on your phone if you don’t know Spanish. Water pressure in old houses can be finicky when multiple showers and washer are running and Bathrooms don’t have air conditioning. Expect some bugs etc, it’s tropics after all. Power outages are not uncommon. Beach is not private but definitely not like a commercial beach. We saw tons of local families during Easter week. There is no TV in the house(to me that was a pro). I would love to visit again!

All my family of 6 enjoyed this beautiful house with a lot of character. Beach was just steps away and the shade underneath the palms, on the grass, the best!! Our housekeeper was amazing, putting the hammocks and chairs for us and all other little things that make your stay one to remember.
Emily, our host, was so easy to communicate with and so helpful with organization of our tours and transport. Thank you Emily, we will be back for sure!

Paradise in Esterillos
This house is a beautiful spot on the beach. Highlights were the house caretaker who put out hammocks and a table and chairs every day for us on the beach. The fresh cerviche you can buy on the beach every day was the best! Also someone comes buy every day to buy fresh bread! This was my first time in Costa Rica and it was very warm every day. Thanks for sharing your piece of a beautiful oasis!

Relaxing Costa Rica Stay
With AC in every bedroom, a fully stocked kitchen and lots of beach equipment, my family had lots of fun at Casa Sirena. Lilliam, the caretaker, set up hammocks by the beach and cleaned the pool daily. Emily, the owner, was incredibly helpful at recommending and booking fantastic excursions that we all enjoyed. As easy 1.5 hr drive from San Jose, the house was in a great location to explore the wonders of the Pacific coast. Pura Vida!

We had such an Amazing time! The beach was just a few steps away and we had it almost to ourselves. Emily and Lilliam were absolutely amazing to deal with. It was central to everything we needed. It was a dream vacation. Lilliam helped with set up on the beach which the house had everything we needed for that. She helped us with meals and laundry and fresh made juices and coconuts. Emily arranged for massages for us on the beach which were so relaxing. kids loved boogie boarding and surfing. Everyone was very friendly. I think my whole family would love to come back.

We had the best time at Casa Sirena! This was my 3rd and favorite time to Costa Rica. Emily was so easy to communicate with and made sure it was an unforgettable week for all of us. We went fishing with Javier, had traditional casada made in the house with the red snapper we caught and enjoyed every minute of our stay! We loved the hammocks on the beach, the swimming pool was the perfect size for our kids (ages 7-12). The beach is basically in the front yard and most days we had it completely to ourselves. We will always remember our stay at Casa Sirena!

Lovely Beach Getaway
Perfectly located house in an area that lent intself to the experience of being a local for a week. The responsiveness was extraordinary!! On-site housekeeper was kind and always tidying the grounds. The house had everything one needs. Just a few minor non-working parts (EX: one of the master sink faucets did not work, but was not a big deal). The proximity to the ocean couldn't have been better- so much space to spread out for privacy when travelling with others. Thank you for a wonderful experience. You were a fabulous host!

Fun in the Sun!
We've been home for a couple weeks now and we are still talking about what a great experience we had at this rental... The location is ideal, nice and quiet but still a quick walk or drive into the small town of Oeste where you can find several good restaurants, groceries and friendly locals. The house itself is very unique, lots of tropical landscaping for privacy and shade with a small splash pool out front. We have stayed in a lot of rental homes in CR over the years and I have to say this was a favorite... a well stocked kitchen and lots of books and art to peruse made it feel very homey. Highly recommended for surfers, naturalists or other thoughtful travelers. Thank you so much for opening your home to us and we will be back again some day!

Truly an amazing experience!
We stayed at Casa Sirena for a week for a small family reunion. The host, Emily, is wonderful. She gave us loads of fantastic recommendations for local things to do and places to eat- all of her suggestions were spot on. She even went above and beyond by helping us book an excursion that we loved! The ziplining and mangrove monkey tour were huge hits with my family (kids and adults). Emily made sure we had everything we needed for an incredible trip!
The house is literally on the beach! The water is warm and there are fantastic waves for surfing and boogie boarding. We also enjoyed sitting out in the hammocks, swimming in the pool, walking on the beach, playing in the waves, and having a bonfire. Inside the house is clean and spacious, with an open-concept floor plan and a huge fully equipped kitchen. Each evening we enjoyed family time and games (provided)! The house is in a great location with easy access to Jaco, Quepos, and Manual Antonio.
To take things to the next level, Casa Sirena has an on-site caretaker, Lilliam. She is kind, generous, helpful, attentive, and respectful of privacy. She’s also a very talented cook! Lilliam and her sweet family made our stay so memorable- almost like we were visiting family! On our last night in Costa Rica, she prepared a mouth-watering homemade meal of red snapper caught locally with gourmet salad and authentic ceviche. It was our favorite thing we ate all week. The combination of these factors make C

Incredible stay in Esterillos Oeste
I stayed here for 7 days in Jan/24 and had a fantastic experience. I'd definitely go back and highly recommend it!!
Located on a quieter stretch of the beach, some days I was alone in the water! Got busier on weekends as the beach is open to locals, but never did I feel it was crowded or unsafe. I had no trouble finding it with the directions Emily gave me.
Kitchen is large with every small appliance imaginable. Washer/dryer came in handy. A/C in each room worked well. Boogie boards, towels & chairs for the beach. Even a bunch of sand sets for little kids.
2 small grocery stores within walking distance (maybe 10 minute walk or just a 1-2 minute drive) with bread, milk, eggs, fruit, pop/soda, ice-cream, cookies, yogurt, chips, butter etc. Lots of other spots to get groceries a short drive along the main highway, so food was easy. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance or a short drive away.
Black sand beach that's very clean and wide. The waves/surf were constant and pretty strong, but in a good way. There's a very long/wide shallow part, so even though I'm short, I was able to walk far into the water and have fun for hours using the boogie board while still feeling safe . Just be smart and use common sense
Emily is a great host in constant touch if I needed any help like booking excursions (like fishing which I've never done before!). Liliana (the caretaker) and her son Justin were fantastic and made me feel like I was part of their family.

Rustic Perfection
For two over-the-hill brothers and their three adults sons this was a perfect bonding experience. Being able to walk out the front door and jump into the ocean to surf or boogie board made this a great location. The town of Oeste Estrillos was an authentic, local experience. The super mercado in town had everything we needed and Los
Almendros restaurant quickly became our favorite restaurant with great atmosphere and excellent cuisine. The town is also perfectly located between Jaco and Quepos where we found plenty of activities to enjoy. The Park at Ocean Ranch was our favorite. We chose the half day experience combining waterfall rappelling, zip lining and ATV. What a blast. At 75, standing the top of the waterfall, I came very close to turning tail but I sucked it up and enjoyed a bucket list experience I never would have thought to put on it. Their catamaran party boat out of Quepos was another highlight. A fun, relaxing time whale watching, snorkeling and jumping/diving into the ocean. the staff waited on us constantly. Emily was extremely helpful via WhatsApp, and her caretaker on the premise, Lilliam, and her youngsters, were a delight. Although she didn't understand a word of English and our Spanish was marginal at best, we had fun trying to communicate and it worked out fine. One night we had Lilliam prepare our dinner. We decided on fish and it was amazing. She also made a delicious seafood stew for lunch the next day. We also enjoyed the pool and hammocks a lot.

Great owner, secluded location, yet close to town, friendly locals
We've been to Costa Rica five previous times and always stayed at VRBO's. The house is typical for Costa Rican VRBO's we've visited and well maintained for its age. The rooms are spacious, the pool is perfect, the grounds are well-maintained, and the kitchen is well equipped. I cannot say enough good things about the owner, Emily. She communicated often, was quick to respond, and went out of her way to help us schedule tours. I would recommend leveraging Emily's expertise for any tours you may be considering. She even left snacks, including fruit and bottled water, ahead of our arrival. My two college aged kids especially liked the area across the dirt road where Emily had hammocks hung from palm trees overlooking the ocean. A few things for consideration: While the on-site caretaker does a great job with the yard and pool, she doesn't clean inside, take out the trash, etc.. This was different from other VRBO's we've stayed at where the caretaker did some amount of cleaning every day and would wash clothes and/or cook for an additional fee. The Internet is slow by today's standards. I was able to handle a few work tasks, but it took patience and effort. More often than not, we used the data on our phones, which was limited to 3G. It took us approx. 15 minutes to walk to the center of town. While the road out front isn't totally dark, it was dark enough we drove into town if visiting after 5:30pm. Parking at the handful of restaurants and the "super" market was not an issue. The strip of land that separates the sand/beach from the dirt road is public land. At locations up and down the road people park their vehicles on this strip of land for both day and overnight visits. No one parked in front of Casa Sirena during our visit, but overnight visitors did park across from the houses on either side. These visitors never bothered us. The town is a great location to get away yet close enough to visit the more touristy areas such as Jaco, Quepos, and Manuel Antonio.

この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
Its proximity to San Jose is a major plus. Its location is between Jaco Beach and Manuel Antonio so that you get to choose- solitude or shopping- whenever you wish. Conveniently located for day trips- it's is the best of both worlds!
この宿泊施設の特徴
Esterillos Oeste is a peaceful, uncrowded beach. Just steps from our property, sometimes you have the entire beach to yourself. It is wonderful to be so close- you can be sun bathing and run into the house for a snack, another beer, extra towel and jump into the pool and be back at the beach in a couple of minutes. The natural surroundings are lovely. It is a very unique spot.
