Here's a list of the great things about this house:
-The owner is exceptional! He communicated with us 2 weeks before our arrival and answered all our questions. This was our first trip to CR, and he gave us so many great tips. He gave us recommendations for where to stop for lunch along the road to the property from San Jose to where to shop for groceries. He was also very flexible in coordinating payment.
-Gilberto is the property manager and he was extremely attentive. He met us at the house within a minute of our arrival and he was always available any time we needed anything. In fact, we needed an extra blanket for one of the beds and Gilberto showed up with a new comforter within an hour. We have had room service at hotels take longer! We felt like with Gilberto, we had a concierge.
-The house is set back from the main road and very private. It has tall hedges that surround it and a gated driveway for added security. At night, the porch has retractable doors that can be closed. CR is safe, but we appreciated the sense of safety of being in a house that had added security features.
-The town of Parrita has everything that you need, but it is not touristy. It has multiple grocery stores and convenience markets, and it is halfway between Quepos and Jaco. Plus the Playa Bandera is only a five minute drive from the house and it is a gorgeous and almost deserted beach. If you want just a beach vacation, you can stay at Hotel Villa Elenita and never leave the town of Parrita.
-The kitchen appliances are new and top notch. Everything was clean and operated without any problems.
-The bathroom is huge, clean, has great hot water, and the water pressure is good.
-The bedrooms are big with plenty of storage space, and the beds and pillows are amazing. Everyone in our family slept like babies at Hotel Villa Elenita. We felt like the beds at this vacation house were more comfortable than ours back home!

The service is very good, the restaurant is very good ( we are a whole fish there). The rooms are old but functional. The best is the location, non turistic, one of the longest beach. You need a car , there is nothing around, which is perfect.

Well-equipped cottage with outdoor space for the kids to play. Loved the two hammocks! Loads to do in the area. Down the road is a restaurant with a pool, including kids' pool, plus slides. Maxi Palí supermarket, pharmacy etc few minutes' drive away. Loads of beaches around. Bejuco Beach is a ten-minute drive away. It has deeper pockets of pools along the shore which I loved. Also loved Jaco Beach area for shops and restaurants.
Not to be missed: Manuel Antonio National Park. You definitely need a guide - advance booking essential. Lots of wildlife there, including sloths. Also strongly recommend Rainmaker Park. You can swim in the waterfalls and rivers there!
Definitely recommend Casa Cariad. Hosts were really helpful and quick to get back to me when I had questions.

From the time of reservation communication was exemplary and we were provided with a lot of information about the area and things to visit.
We found Mary to be a great host, welcoming, informative and always making sure we had what we needed, while respecting our privacy.
We had everything we needed in our room and the adjacent outside area for cooking and relaxing. There is a little dipping pool, perfect for cooling off throughout the day.
The beach on the other side of the road is lovely, a perfect place to have a coffee in the morning.

Good selections for breakfast. However, when something is ordered that is not on the breakfast menu instead, it might be nice to provide a credit toward the cost. The property is beautiful and the amenities are excellent.

Sehr nette Gastgeberin (trotz Sprachbarriere), super Lage direkt am Meer
The accommodation is located in a quiet neighbourhood in Parrita. The bungalow is nestled in a wonderful tropical garden. The owner is super friendly and helpful and has prepared a wonderful breakfast with home made pancakes in the morning. The bungalow is nicely furnished and very stylish. The owner built everything himself. There are fantastic, sometimes wild beaches in the surrounding area and it is well worth stopping off here.
The host allowed us to drop off our luggage early and retrieve it after check out which allowed us to visit attractions without a carful of baggage. Host was easy to communicate with, and the property was very comfortable and clean. Worked out perfectly for our visit to the Manuel Antonio area.
The staff… Sylvia’s and Javier are amazing and made the stay worthwhile.
The quiet and private location with great access to beach,
The breakfast inclusion is a delightful addition to the stay!
Lovely and warm hosts (plus adorable dog) who are super friendly and caring about their guests. The location of the hotel is great, directly at a scenic, lonely beach surrounded by a thick forest of palm trees. The hotel is super clean, has a very beautiful garden and pool area and the rooms are spacious, lovely decorated with an eye for a detail. The included breakfast is very delicious (eggs, baguette, jam, fresh fruits, tee, coffee, fresh juice).
Merci beaucoup! :)
this property is exceptional! they have it so very nicely decorated and very clean. everything one needs is at hand.
The beach is fabulous. Just in front of the property and very quiet. The water temperature is perfect.
