A Beautiful Place

We loved the location, the house set up and quiet beach. It is such a beautiful place and we would love to come back! This is a perfect place for family reunions.

Wonderful place directly on the beach

Could not have been better, except that the spiral staircase to the upper bedroom is narrow and somewhat unsafe.

Beautiful beach house

This was a beautiful beach house, secluded from any tourist town. You will have about a 40 minute dirt road drive from the main road to the house. The house is a perfect place to let you kids swim in the pool and play in the ocean/sand. The outside kitchen had plenty of room to

Beautiful Beach

The beach is amazing and the hosts are very hospitable. The pool and the outdoor living area are really nice. The restaurant selection isn great in the area so the catering is a great option if you like Costa Rican food.

Beautiful Beach Property

The property is a great beach front property on a beautiful beach (Playa San Miguel). All of the living area are outdoors which was perfect for our family. It’s even nicer than the pictures. Loved this house.

Great beach vacation!

This was our second time staying at MaryArte. The house is located right on Playa San Miguel, which is a beautiful natural beach (we even saw a sea turtle this time). The house is spacious and clean. Lots of shade and places to relax including the pool area. We love the outdoor kitchen which is well equipped. The host is welcoming and easy to reach. Thank you again for a lovely stay, we can't wait for next year!

a taste of paradise!

House is beautiful and open to the sea, where we could experience big waves. The small kids could enjoy the not deep pool. We have been helped by Johanna in cooking and she's been so kind. We regret not to have met Rosanna.

Very peaceful

Playa San Miguel is a remote and beautiful spot. The home was great- a bit on the rustic side but wonderful. Maria and the owners were fantastic- anything we needed they took care of right away. Locos Cocos (about 5 houses away) has fantastic food- we ate there about 10 times in the 2 weeks we were there. The roads are a bit rough from Jicaral to Playa San Miguel but the house and the view are worth the drive!

Heaven

I wanted something that would be more quiet and remote. This home was perfect. Very peaceful/not crowded beach. We loved spending most of our time outside in the gathering area or on the beach. The town of Coyote is 20 minutes away. Not a big town, but you can get essentials for sure and a few really great restaurants. I would stay here and spend more time in a heartbeat. The housekeeper (Anna) was so helpful and lovely! We miss it and will be back!

Just what the pictures show!

This was absolutely perfect for our family of 12 (ages 60-4) for 5 days. Maria, Dominga and Alex were so hospitable and helpful. We purposefully didn’t rent a vehicle but still managed to have dinner 3 nights out. We walked and got rides. We kayaked through an estuary & explored a butterfly farm. These excursions were no more than 2,5km from the house. The exploring along the beach led us to some caves with so much marine life, just check the tide schedule first! Do yourself a favor: stop looking and rent this location!!

Amazing stay!

We had an amazing stay over Christmas at this beautiful home. All I can say is wow! It is breathtaking when you get out of the car and see the beautiful outdoor living space right on the ocean! It is so remote and not touristy, which we loved. We had Dominga provide most of our meals and the food was soooo good! We had the private Chef Stuart come and cook Christmas Day for us and it was amazing! His ceviche was the best I’ve ever tasted. Johana did an amazing job cleaning the house and was very helpful with lining us up with massages and horse back riding at the house! Such a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy the ocean!The drive was interesting coming from the Liberia airport. Pavement for 2 hours then 1 hour of dirt roads crossing rivers and going over step mountain passes. Our van did fine and google maps did a good job of getting us there. My whole family said it was one of the best vacations we have had so we would recommend it!Thanks Roxana!meals and

Beautiful location and surrounding area with great people

We had a great time. The location and outside patio area is just feet from the sand and wonderful. All contact with Roxanne the Manager/Owner was easy. Although it felt like this area was remote with very little tourism (a good thing for us), there was a surprising number of great dining options very close by. Restaurant San Miquel is only 5 minutes away and very special. We were not able to have Dominga cook for us because she was taking a break, but hopefully next time. We saw nesting turtles right in front of the house. The surf was really pounding with a strong swell and only for experienced surfers. Perhaps with a smaller swell, the waves would be more suitable for beginner/intermediate surfers. We would definitely come back to this house. This is a great place for those who want to chill out in a quiet atmosphere and prefer a less touristy environment.

Amazing Location

4 adults stayed for 15 days and loved the location....quiet beach, amazing sunsets, private pool! Last hour of drive to get there is very rough so didn’t do as much exploring of other areas as would've like too but still saw lots of local areas and enjoyed local restaurants that had excellent food! Dominga the lady across the road made some delicious meals and we had aother local couple "Stuart Little" the ceiviche guy come to the house and prepare us an amazing lobster pasta meal with ceiviche appy. Pizza Tree pizza is actually one of the best pizzas I have ever had and Restaurante San Miguel had the best sesfood platter and dessets were exquisite! Yes i am a foody and was very hsppy with all thd local choices! Even Rio's in nearby San Francisco de Coyote was great! We were pleasantly surprised to have daily housekeeping services and also daily yard and pool maintenance during our stay. Johanna and her husband Danilo are very hard workers and very friendly. The property manager Roxana was very attentive and quick to respond to snh questions or requests abd even treated us to a meal by Dominga one night. We would definitely rent again.

Great place to relax.

We are three couples who travel together a lot. We each had a bedroom and a bathroom but one bedroom and bathroom is up a narrow narrow spiral staircase. Air conditioning was good in the bedrooms but there isn’t any in the kitchen. All socializing, relaxing, game playing, etc is outside because there is only a kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms inside. But there is a huge outdoor kitchen where we cooked everything. Johanna came to clean every day except Sunday. The view was beautiful, lots of beach to walk, waves to play in. Be prepared for the last hour approximately of rough dirt road, regardless where you are coming from. Only a small food truck like place within walking distance but highly recommend San Miquel restaurant within 5-10 minutes drive.

Best House on the Beach

From the minute we arrived, we were impressed with the house, the layout, the location, the beach, etc. It was a dream come true for a group of family and friends. Ocean views from 3 out of 4 air conditioned rooms. A huge outdoor hangout area with literally every appliance and utensil you can imagine. Adorable pool, especially for kids. Multiple hang out areas. More fridge and freezer space than you could ever need. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable stay. Sure, the house has an older more traditional feel, but modern wasn't a priority for us. The house is closer to the beach than any other house we saw along the beach, with greener grass than any other yard, with more swings and hammocks. The wifi worked perfectly which is a bonus in costa rica. The stove and barbecue are very large and provide ample cooking space. The staff that take care of the property were lovely. Our weekend was epic to say the least. Thank you!

Superbe endroit

Nous avons étions un groupe de 19 personnes ( 11 enfants). l'hôte nous a bien accommodé en ajoutant des matelas gonflables. La maison est un peu petite pour autant de personnes mais ce n'est pas grave car l'espace extérieur est très grand et très agréable. La plage est très grande et très belle. C'est un endroit peu touristique et calme. Personnel aidant et attentionné. Nous avons pris le service de repas avec la señora Dominga et c'était super! Tout était parfait!

Paradise

Our stay was amazing from beginning to end. The property is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor "kitchen / eating / hanging out" pavilion area was perfect, allowing us to spend all our time outdoors. The beach is beautiful and very secluded. The waves were a blast to play in. We found all the groceries we needed just 15 minutes away. The caretakers were kind and accommodating. Communication with Roxana was easy. She responded immediately to any questions we had. Would recommend to all! Plan to go back!

Absolutely perfect!

So many good things to say about this property. Roxana was an exceptional host! She was so helpful, accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was attended to. She even arranged a surprise birthday cake for my husband! The caretaking staff was so lovely, and we had the privilege of enjoying a meal provided by Dominga, the sweet lady across the road. The property is quiet and spacious. Hardly anyone to share the lovely beach with and enjoy the stunning sunsets. The beach is right there and it’s so nice to listen to the waves as you fall asleep. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you might need - boogie boards, beach chairs, games, books, a fully stocked kitchen, hammocks, etc. The only consideration is that the location is very remote. There are other vacation homes near you, some restaurants/bars, and local activities to do, but it is definitely a trek to nearby towns. Although they are close by distance-wise, the drive is long due to the rutted dirt roads. Definitely come with a full tank of gas, colones and USD as there are no banks nearby and most services require cash payment.

Secluded Beachfront Property

We loved our stay at this property as it is situated right on a beautiful, remote, and secluded beach. There are two Bejuco areas in Costa Rica and the house is located in Playa San Miguel, not Bejuco (in Guanacaste not Puntarenas). We were driving from Liberia and the last 1.5 hours or so to get there were quite bumpy and slow through winding unpaved hills and roads. Because of the pandemic, we were looking for spots that were less touristy and crowded, but the area was much more rural than we had expected. There is not really anything within a 20-25 min driving radius and the restaurants and markets are limited. There are no touristy shops that we saw. However, being on the beach and having the little swimming pool for the kids were all we needed. We were there in July and it was hot and humid! The rooms were stifling so we were mostly only inside to sleep and change clothes etc. The rooms had a ceiling fan and one standing fan, but there usually wasn't much airflow. I think having a second fan in the room may have been helpful. It might not bother some people as much - we did acclimate after the first night and some days were cooler because of rain. We had to really just appreciate where we were. The beach is beautiful and we hardly saw any people. The tides and pull are strong but you could go out waist deep and enjoy the waves and body board. My mom still misses her walks up and down the beach searching for crabs, clams, and sea snails. The house had everything we needed to cook in the open air kitchen. There were a lot of mosquitos but that is expected. Maria is lovely and provides daily housekeeping, and the owner Roxanna was wonderful and helpful. She asked one of the local restaurants to deliver food for us after some miscommunication. I would recommend this property if you want to be able to walk out on to a beach that feels private for a true Costa Rican experience!

Great place to stay

We spent 5 days with 16 family members. The house was perfect, we had one room and bathroom per family. The house is right in front of the beach. The beach was great and it felt like was had it all for ourselves. The outside common areas were really comfortable with plenty of space for a big group. Overall, a great experience.
