Beautiful view! Very short and fun little walk up and down the winding path from the house to the beach. Long, wide beach for beach walks and shell hunting. Big waves at times but always "swimmable" with a long, shallow, all sand bottom. Great for boogie boarding and for little kids to splash around in the shallow surf when the tide is out. Very clean beach compared to a lot of beaches these days. There is a small group of lava rocks in the water right in front of the house that our kids loved climbing on and exploring the tides pools it created. The house was perfect for our family of 4 with two teenagers. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean is stunning. There are lots of outdoor seating and lounging options: hammocks, couches, chairs, lounges, with shaded and sunny areas so everyone was happy as we enjoyed the pool and view of the Pacific. Bring some cheap and easily packed inflatable floats, some good "beach reads", or download (before your trip) books, movies, music/blue tooth speaker, and games (not cloud-based but ones that can be saved on a device) if you or your kids enjoy technology to pass the time. We saw at least 15 or 20 different kinds of tropical birds and animals just sitting by the pool or walking on the beach - parrots and other birds, lizards, iguanas, crabs and snails, little fish in the tide pools. If you or your kids like nature watching, it's all around you. The house caretaker Miguel is very nice, and his dog Luna is a cheerful greeter. She's the perfect little guard dog, patrolling the yard and making sure the iguanas know their place! We will miss her!! Within "easy" walking or driving distance, there are a handful of very good local restaurants: we loved El Barco, Loma Clara, Ristaurante San Miquel and heard that the Pizza Tree House and Tanga are good too. The Jungle Butterfly Farm tour is not to be missed if you want to learn about the local forest ecosystem and buy some super pure coconut oil and honey products. We drove to the slightly more touristy beach town area of Samara for a nice day trip. Driving the Costa Rican rural roads is an adventure and a good quality 4 wheel drive car or truck is a must. There are no medium or large hotels/resorts in this part of the Nicoya Peninsula, and you get to experience a more "real" Costa Rican rural area and lifestyle. We love this kind of vacation experience so it was great location for us. Would love to return some day!!
