The perfect Costa Rican 'Home away from Home'!
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009

Me and my friends stayed at this property for 8 days and had an amazing time. When you open the front gate of the property, you are immediately welcomed by a lush, well-maintained garden of fruit trees, flowers and nature. The house itself is warm and inviting. The furniture in the house is made locally and out of materials that are indigenous to Costa Rica. The kitchen is perfect and well equipped. The bedrooms are comfortable and offer sleeping arrangements for up to six adults. In the backyard, there is a wonderful patio which includes a dining table and BBQ.
The house is centrally located and is within just a few miles of several beaches. Our favorite beach was Esterillos. Perfect for surfers and sunbathers. Jaco is just a hop skip and a jump away and offers several restaurants, night clubs, tourist attractions and of course, another beautiful beach. We also had the opportunity to visit several waterfalls, including an area called, Tres Pacinas or Tres Pilas (depending on who you ask). It's basically three waterfalls and each feeds into its own natural pool. There is a natural water slide carved into the rocks, cliff jumping and a rope swing. A must visit in our opinion.
Fritz and Aileen have really outdone themselves. From start to finish they were extremely accommodating and informative. They were there to answer any questions and provide you with a wealth of information, including an idea guide for your trip. Their caretaker, Carlos, is an awesome dude who lives in the area. He is always available if you need him or have any questions about anything.
All in all, our stay at this property couldn't have been any better. We will certainly make a return visit. I highly recommend this property for your visit to Costa Rica.
Pura Vida!
