Quick 15 min from the airport and a great stop over on our way to a different city after a long day in airports. Great location, comfortable beds and air conditioning, nice pool, and the security is excellent. Communication with the host we great and we knew exactly what to expect, including that the gardener would be there at 9am.We would definitely stay there again.

The property was stunning. We had everything we needed to cook breakfasts before heading out for the day. The rooms were well appointed with comfy beds. The backyard pool is beautiful with plenty of seating for a large group. We communicated with the host several times and he was always very quick to respond and helpful. If in the area, we would definitely stay here again.

The property was clean, spacious, the air conditioning worked well, and it was an easy drive from the airport. The only issue we had was the description of the property having a jacuzzi, which in America means there is a heated soaking area. The pool area has a separate section, but it is not heated, so the pool was not very usable when we arrived in December due to our poor luck with rain and cooler temps. The master suite had a jacuzzi-style tub, but it was missing the water stopper, so we could not soak in the tub either. Again, we loved the property overall, but we wished we had a hot soak option!

Location is great. Without traffic, it's about 15 minutes to San Jose airport. Property is in a gated community and has its own security gate. Jeff was helpful. My only reason for a 4 out of 5 is that the pictures of the property are a work of art. The property is nice and you'll enjoy it but it's not quite as nice as the pictures depict.

Accommodated us, prompt replies, pool and jacuzzi were uncovered so debris in jacuzzi. A few tv channels to watch with English language. Home would easily cost over 700 a night if it was in the US. Beautiful and spacious home, with up to date amenities.

Great family getaway!

Our family had a wonderful time at this property. The house was a great size for our family (including our 3 teenage kids). The backyard and pool felt like a mini resort. I enjoyed that there were multiple large tables and furniture where everyone could sit comfortably. We felt very safe and relaxed throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this property.

We stayed at this home for two nights to be closer to the airport before flying out of San José, and it was just what we needed. The property manager was fantastic—very responsive and communicative every step of the way. The location was ideal, only about 20–25 minutes from the airport, which made travel day so much easier.We really enjoyed the pool and the lush, tropical grounds—it was a peaceful and relaxing spot to unwind. The house itself worked well for our short stay. If I had to offer any suggestions, it would be to consider a few updates to the home and provide some additional bedding, especially if you plan to use the air conditioning at night.That said, the property served its purpose perfectly, and we would definitely stay again!

Unfortunately didn't check in until late due to getting a little lost. Was able to take a quick dip in the beautiful pool before thunderstorm rolled in and went to bed early for our flight. Woke to birds singing and left. So didn't get to enjoy the lovely yard and pool as much as I wanted.
