The part that really sets it apart though is location. Easy to get to Liberia…other beach areas and being outside of the business of Tamarindo truly make it a vacation. All in all, a special experience. Thank you to Antonio and Carmen for making our trip truly Pura Vida!"

"This home is very nicely located and a special place to spend a week in Costa Rica. It has everything you need and plenty of space and comfort. Pretty safe as well with a community gate as well as a gate for the home itself. About an hour and twenty minutes from Liberia airport, it was the perfect setup for a relaxing week. And the supermarket is roughly 10-15min away and had everything you'd need. Overall, we had an amazing time at the home and the hosts were VERY responsive and detailed at all...
