Ocean view luxury property, AC, pool in the jungle at short walk to the beach.

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved the property. It's quiet, the pool is nice and everything is well kept. It's walking distance to the beach and there is an access point at the end of the road. The wildlife on/around the property is amazing! This was our third trip to CR and we saw more on this property than we had in the previous locations/tours we had visited combined!! The parks are all just a short drive and there are a few cool walks really close. The property sits on a large hill and will give you a workout going back up from the beach. If you have problems walking then you will not wank to walk up. The road experienced some erosion recently so make sure you get a 4x4. Trust me when I tell you, a van is not a great idea!! We loved just sitting on the deck and relaxing looking out to the sea. It's really a great place to unwind. There are a lot of great restaurant choices very close by that are very convenient. Several grocery stores nearby too."
