We visited Jan and Dana and their gorgeous dog Rambo for 6 nights on our honeymoon. Nothing was too much trouble and Jan took us into town daily as its about 1.5km out of town. We shared a drink at New Years with them and a Tico family staying there. You can walk to the beach though it can be... More

Jan and Dana are outstanding hosts! Perfect location, easy to find, private, amazing view and access to beach with 5-10 minute walk, spacious room, and fresh breakfast. While staying we saw howler monkeys, macaws, green parakeets, green iguana, hummingbirds, cane toads, and many birds. Highly recommended! We will certainly return!

Very nice place. Owners were super friendly. Rooms were clean and nice at a very fair. Loved to lounge in the private pool and watch the sun set. The group that I was with mentioned numerous times how lucky we were to stumble in to this place.
