I have stayed in many locations, but I must say this is one if not the most picturesque locations I have witnessed. The views are amazing. The outside area was excellent for enjoying sunset dinners and relaxing. The rooftop is great for star gazing. The beach is a 2-minute walk and absolutely perfect. The house is beautiful and nicely appointed with everything needed for a spectacular vacation. Anna was easy to communicate with and each time responded within minutes of our request. We will definitely be back soon. Anna, thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

What a beautiful location and pristine villa. The beach is steps away and just amazing. The people in the neighborhood are friendly and it is full of families. Very safe and well kept. The villa was super clean and very beautiful. It is even nicer in person compared to the photos.I highly recommend Olga - who cooked for our family. She was excellent as well as so kind and accommodating. Our host was very accommodating and helpful. I can’t say enough good things. I’d recommend renting a golf cart or car if you plan to leave the gated community. We had no need to but chose to uber to the shops one day which was fairly easy
Sunset swim- very safe and beautiful
Sunsets were spectacular- right from the outdoor seating area

The location of his home is absolutely fantastic. The beach is one of the best up and down the West Coast the privacy. The cleanliness were things that we sought after if we went on an adventure for the day thinking our beach was better. The lovely housekeeper and chef Olga, was fantastic and added so much relaxation and value to our stay. Olga was gracious to help us and celebrating a 50th birthday and selected a birthday cake making each meal wonderful She is in addition to this stay making it feel like home.

Beautiful location

Anna went over and above answering my questions. We really enjoyed our time there. It was perfect for our situation: two families with kids ages 6-12. We enjoyed the beach access and pools, and you can't beat the view. We also hired Olga to cook breakfast & dinner for 3 of the days. It was delicious and affordable. Everything you need is there if you want to cook on your own and it's not far from other restaurants nearby or in Jaco.

Beach paradise

Enjoyed this home with several views of the water. A short walk to the beach produced whales, pelicans, live star fish in tide pools, macaws, iguana. Great night lightning over the water. Icing on the top is hiring Tia Olga to cook traditional Costa Rican food family style Breakfast and Dinner with plenty of leftovers and snacks for the day. Her cooking is amazing and everything she made was perfection. So blessed to be able to use this home for family memories

We visited to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. Our stay at Casa Caracola, our overall experience was incredible! It was our first time visiting Costa Rica and we left ready to go back asap. Anna’s beautiful home met all of our family’s needs. 10 of us had plenty of room to spread out. After reading the reviews we had Olga cook for us a few days. Her meals were amazing and plentiful. It was a treat having her prepare authentic Costa Rican dishes for us. She is delightful, very resourceful. I would recommend her. Anna, the host, was great, helpful, and communicative. The location of the home could not be more perfect. We loved the private beach. The eco system there is insanely diverse. We saw all of the wildlife we hoped to see from the neighborhood. No golf carts permitted in the this particular neighborhood but our rental car came in handy for exploring outside of Los Suenos. My honey caught his bucket list fish and we hope to go back next year and rent the same house again.

Wonderful Vacation Spot!

We had a wonderful time and the home is amazing. Beautiful views, secluded and very safe. The beach is private and you really can’t beat it. Anna was great and very responsive. We did not rent a car like she suggested, and in hindsight it would have been nice to have one. But, with our large group of 8, we felt better having a van and driver come and get us for our excursions, and it worked out fine. Thank you Anna for everything!!

We had the most amazing trip! The house was absolutely wonderful—spacious, comfortable, and in the perfect location. Just a short walk from the property brought us to a beautiful beach that felt private the entire time we were there. From our lounge chairs, we were lucky enough to see whales in the distance, watch surfers in the early mornings, spot tropical birds flying overhead, and even enjoy the company of a sleepy sloth in an almond tree nearby.One of the true highlights of our stay was Olga. She is such a delight and made our experience unforgettable. She prepared some of the most delicious meals we’ve ever had, and we loved getting to know her during our time there. She even arranged to have a birthday cake delivered for our daughter’s birthday! WE LOVE OLGA!! This home, the setting, and the people made for an unforgettable trip. We cannot wait to return!

Stunning beach property!

We had an amazing (though short) visit to this stunning property. The location is unbeatable, with access to the beach, wildlife, and a pool just steps away. The highlight of our trip, however, was Olga. She is an absolute gem—thoughtful, gracious, and incredibly talented. Her presence added so much to our stay, and we felt truly lucky to have her. While our overall experience was wonderful, we did encounter some issues with plumbing and drainage, as well as a TV screen that unfortunately went unresolved during our visit. However, these did not overshadow the beauty of the location and the care we received.

The view from the table

What an amazing property, view, location and hospitality. Family of 8 Me, my wife our 3 20 something kids and their spouses enjoyed most of our time in the outdoor living area around the table for 8 enjoying the amazing view of a beach in a cove that felt like our own private beach most of the week enjoying a few meals made by Olga who took such good care of us and made amazing CR dinners and breakfast for us. Access to pools, tennis and pickle ball courts and I'll say again the very secluded beach were highlights of our stay. Anna was very responsive and made everything easy along the way. We have stayed at many properties over the years and this one along with the care shown by Anna and Olga is one of the best experiences we have had. Thanks Anna and Olga for helping us make some great family memories in CR!

The perfect family vacation!

Every aspect of our stay was beyond our expectations! This setting provided the perfect spot for my family, including children and grandchildren, to relax, and enjoy quality time together. There was space to be together as well as space to be quiet with privacy. This clean and comfortable home is an incredibly well appointed space that provided everything we needed. The location is also ideal! A beautiful beach, and sunset views were fantastic. An added benefit was accessibility to shopping and fun activities. The property manager was extremely helpful and responded to any questions we had immediately! I am very grateful for her support during our stay! As we left my family wanted to know when we can return!

Amazing home and LOCATION

What a vacation!! This home was everything we had hoped it would be. We spent most of the day at the very close beach (2 flights of stairs ) or lounging in the outdoor living room. The BEST part of the trip was Olga!! She made us breakfast and dinner every day. It was the most amazing food. She takes great pride in what she makes and everything was so good. She also cleaned the home and changed the sheets mid week. It was so nice to have her and would never want to vacation with out her again. We watched the Macaws every morning from the house. It was such a great location. We will be back!!

Fabulous!!

My family and I spent 10 wonderful days here. The house met all our needs. It was spacious, the view from the outside room was spectacular and we were just a very short walk to the beach. Many times we had the beach to ourselves. The surf was fun, water warm and beach sandy. Who could ask for anything more?!!! Olga made a lot of meals for us. It made our experience here truly a vacation. Olga is a wonderful lady who makes delicious meals and was accommodating to our wishes. I would highly recommend her. She also has a great sense of humour. 😊 I really enjoyed having around. This would be a great place to return to. 😊🌴🍹😎

We had an amazing stay!! Olga is the best!

We stayed here with a group of family/friends and our 8 month old baby. The house is beautiful, with jaw dropping views of the ocean. It’s a minute walk to the beach which is practically private and full of shade. We even saw a whale breach from the shore! Anna provided a pack n play, baby bath, and high chair, which was very helpful! Every night we sat in the large outdoor living area enjoying the incredible sunsets while sweet Olga cooked us dinner, which was always so delicious! Olga even offered to hold the baby while we got to eat! She is so kind and really made our experience that much better! I know we plan to stay here again and she is a big reason for that! We really appreciate the lovely experience and would highly recommend to everyone!

Oh, this place was amazing! So much space. This was our first time in Costa Rica and it was really cool how much of the house was a mix of indoor/outdoor. We're a family of 5 with three boys 15, 13, and 10 and everyone got their own room with full batch. Perfect! The beach was picture perfect and just a 45 second walk from the house and we were back-and-forth quite a bit. (the only beach complaint was that there was only 1 semi-functional body board, which was tough with 3 kids and amazing surf). There was a mid-week cleaning that we weren't expecting which was a nice surprise.The BEST part of the house was hiring Olga to cook for us. She did one meal daily for us. It was mostly dinners, but also one lunch and one breakfast. We stayed away from "American" food and let her go crazy with "typical" (her word) CR food. It was amazing. If you go, consider yourself lucky that we didn't kidnap her and bring her home with us, which we seriously discussed.

Beautiful house on the beach in a Costa Rican tropical paradise! Great family vacation!

This house is beautiful and is on a private beach near playa Herradura. It’s situated on a mountain above the Los Suenos Marriott resort and is about 20 minutes from Jaco beach. It was very clean and exceeded our expectations. We hired Olga to cook for us for most of the week and she was AMAZING!! She was so sweet and cooked the most delicious meals! She really was one of the best things about our vacation and cooked us lots of authentic Costa Rican food. We rented a car from the airport (about 2 hours drive) and highly recommend doing that so that you can get around easier. It’s about a 20 minute drive to the local grocery store / shopping area. We went to the grocery store just about every day. There are loads of activities within a hour to two drive of the house. We used the Viator app to find tours, etc. We also went to the private beach in front of the house nearly every day. Our host Anna was amazing and always in close communication when I had any questions. She helped me arrange airport transfer as well. Overall an OUTSTANDING family vacation in a Costa Rican paradise!

Beautiful without being pompous; hospitality you can only dream of! We WILL return many times!

Traveling with young children internationally always causes added stress to planning a vacation and the single most important thing for me was finding lodging to make them comfortable so that we could relax too! This home was perfect! To begin, the homeowner met us at the rental car office to escort us to Herradura and see that we would be comfortable. It blew me away--her willingness to accommodate us! The house is absolutely beautiful, and yet, not so "stuffy" that we were afraid to feel at ease. The design of the house allows maximum relaxation with sleeping quarters separated from living spaces. Perfect for putting kids (and tired grown-ups) to bed without shutting the party down! It was nicely situated to the beach and the community pools. The kitchen and dining areas are great for eating in as a family. The owners were so helpful in aiding us with internet connections, offering tourist advice and making themselves available to answer questions. The maid service was extraordinary, and the security guards did a fantastic job for us. We left dreaming about how to get back to Costa Rica, to Herradura, and this home as soon as possible! Many thanks for extending such wonderful hospitality!
