This home is set in a lovely, quiet, small beach community. We loved the tropical surrounding and proximity to the beach. Tamarindo wasn't a bad drive to access large grocery stores and a day trip for our teen girls to shop and explore. Due to a closed road it was about 40 minutes at the time of our visit. After the hustle and bustle of Tamrindo we were glad to return to this peaceful home. The pool was a great way to relax after hot adventurous days. The community is very welcoming. We felt like it was a little sparse at first but the more you explore the area the more little hidden gems you find going almost unnoticed. We wanted a cultural experience as well as beach time and this location provided the opporunity. The washer and dryer was very helpful and our teen liked having her own little space downstairs. The house was a little less modern than I had expected, but I learned to appreciate it. It mathced the rustic charm of the community. Eden Properties was propbably the best managment group I have ever workied with when renting. The communication and attentiveness can't be beat! I hope we can are lucky enough to return one day. Pura Vida!

Great Stay

The property was everything we had hoped: clean, safe, near the beach, near restaurants, quiet, etc etc! The property manager was available for everything we needed throughout the stay. We loved the pool after a day at the beach. And we loved that we didn't need to use our car to get to restaurants or to the beach. Will definitely stay again!

Check in was very easy w/ really easy instructions, and host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Will definietly book again

Family Trip

It was a great area to stay. So close to the beach. Very cool local area. Gotta go to the Surf Shop for actual italian gelato. The third bedroom is really apart of the upper part of the house (which both other rooms and kitchen is). It's good for privacy, but if you have kids and want to be near, not so good for that. We loved it there.

Perfect

Perfect getaway to relax. Easy walk to the beach and wonderful restaurants. If you get hot on the walk to the beach you jump in the ocean. On the way back you jump in the pool. Loved coffee in the morning by the pool with the wide variety of birds and the howler monkeys. Beautiful place, hope to be back someday soon.

Everything You Could Ask For

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Casa Bali. The space itself was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to feel comfortable during our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved waking up each morning to the beautiful view outside our window. The location was perfect, with great restaurants nearby. City is remote from tourist towns, that is what we loved about the location. Be sure to have a 4x4 SUV for local roads, your trip will be much more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. Thank you so much for everything!

Bali style paradise

This home was a wonderful experience with all of its beauty and character. The property is gorgeous, clean and well kept. The location was a little tricky to find in the dark in a rain storm but we were thrilled when we found it! Definitely recommend 4x4 for the rainy season. Great proximity to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby. Our family of four had a perfect amount of space and we wished we were able to spend more than six days at the property. We truly enjoyed the Bali style architecture and the amazing lap pool. Thanks so much to Brenda who was an impeccable host answering our every question and need within minutes. Can’t wait to get back again!

Pura Vida at Casa Bali

We loved our recent stay at Casa Bali! Pura Vida vibes all around Playa Avellanas. The management team was great to work with, very helpful, and responsive to our needs. Casa Bali is in an awesome location that feels very private and safe but still close to everything you need. Easy walk to the beach for a morning surf with enjoyable wildlife along the way. Some terrific restaurants nearby as well with tasty cocktails and delicious food. Il Rustico was one of our favorites! The reviews on this property are very accurate and helped point us in the right direction on this trip. A couple tips: Bring lots of smaller bills for added tips, parking, etc… Get WIFI rather than navigation with the car rental and used WAZE on a phone. Enjoy your time Casa Bali!

You will want to stay here!

The Bali House was absolutely incredible. We stayed a fews days prior to heading back to the states. The house has everything you will need. I would recommend grabbing some groceries in town before finding the house because you will not want to leave once you get there. The communication could not have been better. We had a minor issue with the laundry room key not working and there was someone on the property to help within 5 minutes! I was very impressed. This house is right up the street from a gorgeous beach and Lola's great food. Both made this VRBO location even better. Thank you so much for sharing your property.

Local feel, unassuming, and clean

Brenda is wonderful and easy to communicate with. This property is well maintained, but not fancy. The property is .8 miles from the beach, walkable, but very busy to do so. We saw lots of wildlife, bugs included. If you want upscale with no Costa Rican feel, this isn't the place for you. If you want local, quiet beach and nothing presumptive, this is for you. We had Garret come and cook, which was wonderful. We ate at rustico and la deevena (divine). We took a sail out of flamingo (1 hour drive). 13 person semi private charter on serendipity, it was fabulous!!! Overall, it was wonderful stay.

BALI HIGH

We booked Casa Bali for10 days and kept extending and extending... We LOVED the house, the location and most of all WE LOVED OUR HOST Brenda!!! She made our trip magical. everything we wanted, Brenda made it happen!!! Then property is in a perfect location. A 15 minute walk (dirt road) to the swim and surf beach Playa Avellana, the amazing Lola's restaurant and bar ( amazing). In the other direction the SoulShine hotel and local hangout for breakfast and lunch. Down the street is one of the best Italian pizza and pasta spots Rustica and a ice the gelato ice cream place. The house is perfect for a small family or two couples.... well maintained and stocked with everything you need. Comfortable beds, linens and towels... You will see and hear monkeys and birds and occasionally a visit from the "prince", the super cute frog (harmless). We will come back!! thank you for hosting us!!! Michael and Bryan - Charles and Stacey.

Casa Bali haven

THIS IS THE PLACE! Perfect little private getaway. The place was really too big for us but we loved it anyway. This would be perfect for a family or a group of friends. Everything you need is there to cook if you want. At first we found it a bit out of the way but then we actually came to enjoy the drive. It’s all part of the experience. It was very safe and secure and just has a great feeling. The downstairs outdoor space is great and shaded. Pool is great. Bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, all perfect. The wrap around balcony is so nice for having breakfast. Brenda the property manager was so great to deal with. Very quick to respond and has lots of great advice and info. She was a nice resource to have, especially since it was our first trip to Costa Rica. Great shops nearby. The Italian restaurant on the corner is amazing. Highly recommend it. Avellanas has a beautiful beach and it’s not nearly as busy as tamarindo. But has everything you need. Stores close early and the nearest supermarket is in villareal about 15-20 mins away but it’s easy to get too. I recommend a car rental if you’re going to be staying here and wanting to explore a bit. Taxis would get expensive and the logistics would be a bit to deal with. 10/10 on this one. Highly recommend!
