AMAZING BEACHFRONT HOUSE WITH INCREDIBLE OCEAN VIEW AND POOL

10/10 Excellent

"My family just returned from beautiful Costa Rica. Our stay at Playa Carmen was perfect. The check in/out process was flawless. Carlyn answered all questions in record time. Ginny the housekeeper was such a gift. She met us the day we arrived and showed us everything we need. She comes every day, cleans and does your laundry. We seen an abundance of birds and two species of moneys just sitting in the back porch looking at the pacific right In Your back yard. The pool was great to come back and cool off from a day of touring. There is mango trees and bananas right on the property. It’s gated and felt very safe. Resteraunts were phenomenal. We went on a fishing charter with Jason Tours, Migel was our captain and put us on a ton of fish. Thank you Carlyn and Ginny!!"

"Very nice villa! We loved our stay. Great management "

Modern Jungle Treehouse with Ocean Views and short walk to the Mal Pais Beaches.

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect house for beach, birds, and jungle. The views are spectacular. The house is set up such that it takes advantage of the ocean breeze. There is AC in the bedrooms, but we didn't need it. Nice to feel and hear the outside day and night. You can walk to a beach and a few restaurants. Other beaches, restaurants, and a great grocery store are a few minute drive away. The owner and caretaker were very helpful in setting up tours, surf lessons, and ATVs. Totally recommend this place!"

Tropical home in paradise!!

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional home in an ideal location, away from the noise and dust in Santa Teresa yet close enough for easy access to beaches and restaurants. The host, Ruth, lives next door and was super helpful. The house was very well equipped, the pool was large and clean, and we loved the authentic community feel in Mal Pais. The Mal Pais beaches are not the best but it's a short drive to Playa Carmen and Playa Hermosa, which are both incredible. Montezuma is also only 30 mins away and is a wonderful day trip. Highly recommend!"
