This is our second time staying at Paradise Found and we had another great visit! Very comfortable home, refreshing pool, well equipped kitchen, beginner surf waves, quiet beach for long walks, helpful caretaker, central location to activities, etc. We’d love to go back!

The location is just everything. The house was the perfect size for our family and had everything that we needed during our stay. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a long hot day. We basically had the beach to ourselves. We felt safe while staying here. I would have loved to stay longer, and I hope we get to stay again one day.

You know those VRBO listings where you wonder if the property really is that gorgeous or if they just took really great pictures? This property really is that gorgeous! The grounds are lush and green, the flowers are vibrant, the pool is sparkly and clean, the home is comfortable and authentic! The beach really is that quiet and the sand is softer than you can imagine! Jose, the caretaker, is there if you need him but never intrusive! Each bedroom has more than one fan which makes sleeping at night comfy even when it's 80 degrees and they all open onto the upper deck that faces the ocean so you get that wonderful breeze!! Each room has plenty of towels for the shower and the beach and the garage is stocked with all the beach necessities you might need! Communication with the property owner is as easy as can be and they are quite possibly some of the nicest people I have ever rented from! They truly want your stay to be as amazing as possible! I could go on forever about how great our trip was but I think the fact that we were already looking at dates for our next trip says it all. Book this house...you won't be sorry!

This was such a wonderful week. The house and location were exactly as described and precisely what we were looking for! Privacy, quiet, the pool was a MUST to stay cool! Jose was awesome and hooked us up with horseback riding on our last night. It was glorious! Would love to stay there again.

I totally fell in love with a Esterillos beach. Morning walks were amazing.

House a little rustic but would be back jfor the pool and view. Might not see a soul on the beach solitude the way I like it

This was hands down the best location, private, beautiful sunrise and sunset directly on the beach with so much wildlife. Always entertaining and beautiful. Centrally located to many of the things we wanted to do.( Manuel Antonio and snorkeling tour at Cano Island with dive and surf touring) was amazing

We've stayed at Paradise Found several times and it is my happy place. The location is quiet and lovely. Kids spend hours in the pool and jump out only to play in the waves. You can take the long and lovely beach walk to local restaurants and horse rides. The location at the end of a dirt road is remote, so a car is recommended. As with any beach in this area, you need to be careful of rip currents. However, with the gradual slope of the beach, it is easy for children to play safely.

This is the perfect location if you are looking for a quiet, nearly deserted beach. We literally saw only a handful of people walking the beach the whole week we were there. The house is steps from the beach and also has a pool to cool off in. Note that the house is not air conditioned and it does get warm in Costa Rica, but there were plenty of ceiling and floor fans to make it comfortable. You can also opt to sleep outside on the wonderful 2nd floor porch which is the ideal spot for watching the spectacular sunsets. Our teenagers enjoyed the boogie boards provided in the garage and there were also beach chairs you can use to sit on the beach. At times the water pressure in the sinks and showers was not ideal, but it was a minor inconvenience to trade for all the amenities at "Paradise Found". You will see parrots flying overhead, huge iguanas scampering on the roof and little lizards sunning themselves. The nearest town (Jaco) is an easy 15 minute drive for groceries, restaurants and activities like zip-lining. It is an easy drive to Manuel Antonios National Park as well. We felt safe and well cared for with the caretaker Jose on site and owner Mary answered all our questions promptly before we arrived. If you're looking for a secluded spot for a family vacation and an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica, we highly recommend Paradise Found.

Would recommend this property to family and friends. Such a great location. As a family we enjoyed our stay and the house was better than anticipated. So easy to travel to great Costa Rica destinations but also so wonderful to hang at the house and use the pool and play at the beach. Looking forward to the future when we can return.
