First and foremost, I must say that Sunset House was exactly as advertised. The photos online were accurate. Stunning view, clean, fresh pool, amazing sliding doors to let in the outdoors. Everything is in good, working order.
Lots of hot water with good pressure, all dishes, cooking items and cutlery in excellent condition. I could go on but you catch my drift. Everything, from first booking our stay to our farewell was over and above our expectations. I would give it a 5 star plus if I could.
If planning to go down to the beach and shops, you will definitely require a vehicle. It is a 15-20 min drive along a very dusty and rough (in some spots) road. This may seem like a drawback but it is also a plus since the distance also keeps you up in the hills, away from the congestion of the beach area. The air is fresh and clean and the location is quiet and private, things that are on our "must have" list when searching for a holiday home.
This is our 5th trip to Cost Rica and we find Sunset House to be our favorite spot. We will definitely be returning. We honestly couldn't have been happier with our stay. A big thank you to Pete the owner, Soraya the property manager, and Janet the housekeeper. You are a great team!
