Very spacious home in a great, secure location with friendly neighbors. Close to grocery store, excellent restaurants and a beautiful beach. Local surfing lessons from Bretts Boards, a close nature hike with waterfalls at Rainmaker and amazing dinners at the Alma hotel and Los Almendros made the trip perfect. It was such a pleasure to be away from crowded beaches and tourists. If you are looking for a relaxing trip this is the place! The hammock in the back was our favorite place to nap. The host is extremely responsive and accommodating.

Pura Vida Perfection

Dan’s place has everything you need for your stay in Bejuco. Location is perfect, close to the beach, close to shops for the basics. Dan is an amazing host - always quick to respond, and resolved any issues we had. House is spacious, and the pool was just what we needed after a day out exploring. Thanks again Dan for being a great host, we truly enjoyed our stay here.

Amazing Vacation Rental

We stayed at this property for 1 week over Christmas. What an amazing place. The house is large, clean and bright with a beautiful pool in the backyard and a large set of pools within the gated community complex. A five minute walk to a magnificent beach and within an hour drive of many local attractions such a Manuel Antonio Park, Rainmaker, Dominical and many more. I highly recommend this property. A great place for family with children (young and teenagers).

Great house for a family

This house was perfect for our family of 5. You need a car to get to Jaco or Playa Hermosa. It's also less than an hour from Manuel Antonio. The pool was fun and the beach nearby (Playa Bejuco) is very secluded. It was like having a private beach. We felt very safe and everyone was very nice. Would definitely come back.

So relaxing

We have been coming to Costa del Sol multiple times a year since 2010. No place better in Costa Rica for a nice relaxing beach vacation. I highly recommend Casa Marcelo. The house is well appointed and equipped. The private pool is also a big plus. The owner and manager a very quick to respond and insure a great stay. We will be back.

A great place for a family vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay in Playa Bejuco! It had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. The pool was fantastic for all times of day. The house was so roomy for our family of 5 and the garage was perfect for the SUV we rented. The outside table was where we are many meals & plays lots of cards! The ocean was so close / we chose to drive & it only took about 2 minutes. We went to the Sunset restaurant a few times & enjoyed a meal there. You have a perfect place for a vacation Danny!

Amazing House and Location

As soon as we walked into the house I was blown away. High ceilings amazing room by room climate control and a pool all in a safe community with very friendly residents. If there was not so much to see in the area I would have considered just stocking up at the small Bodega down the road and only leaving the house to walk to the beach every day. I could definitely live there. Oh and the restaurant on the way to the beach is good as well.

At Casa Marcelo, we aim to please our guests, but if they are wowed, well so much the better. For those first time guests to Costa Rica, you will find it hard to find a more relaxed, yet adventurous stay than Casa Marcelo. Many guests arrive via a rental car that’s barely used for anything but the airport transport. There’s so much to do without driving anywhere. Others take advantage of the central location of Casa Marcelo to visit national parks, casinos, and volcanoes. But all enjoy the safe and relaxing pleasures of just chillin’ at Casa Marcelo.

Wonderful home for family and making memories

This wonderful home, in a very nice gated community, on Playa Bejuco was perfect for our family. I highly recommend renting a car so that you can access all the area has to offer. There is a sweet strip mall on the main street that has a grocery store and great restaurants. We did shop in Parrita for most of our groceries because they had a larger selection of food. In the afternoon and evening the beach was a wonderful place to play in the surf, watch the sunset, and listen to the birds. Visiting Jaco, Quepos and Uvita were simple and easy ventures out from this neighborhood. So grateful for our 2 weeks in Costa Rica.

Peaceful Paradise

This house was perfect for our stay! The stay was short but memorable! We did many activities while staying at the property such as going to Manuel Antonio, Rainmaker, whitewater rafting, and visiting the beach! The full sized kitchen made cooking meals at the house easy, and the pool was perfect for relaxing in! The gated community made us feel secure, and there was an amazing bakery, Valhalla, just a short drive down the street where we would get our morning coffee. Within an hour of the property there is tons to do and everything you could possibly need. Also, the air conditioning jn the house worked wonderfully, we would only turn it on for a little while at night and it would cool the house so quick! I definitely recommend staying here when you visit Costa Rica!

The home itself was lovely. We arrived and it was the next day when we got WI-FI. The home is very sparse. Very little furniture and furnishings as well as a very sparse kitchen- pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. Also no paper products- paper towels foil The neighborhood was nice with adequate security.

Relax in a beautiful development

The community kept the grounds in a wonderful condition, short walk to a beautiful beach. Property lacked having face cloths and cooking pots could be replaced as some are in poor condition. Overall Dan was understanding and helpful, had a few problems with hot water inlets scaled up and sink drain plugging but plumber got everything in order. We really enjoyed our stay, Dan did mention that a paint job is scheduled which is due as it’s marked up some.

Great beach and nearby restaurants, and North American style accommodation

The place was everything we were expecting. The community is lovely with a tennis court and a very nice pool area that also has internet. It is a new property with few reviews, but don't worry it is exactly what you need, three bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The beach is very near by, you can walk but it's much easier to do the two minute drive and park at the beach. There are two nice restaurants on or at the beach, more if you want to walk down the beach. My daughter was ill on our departure day so we asked to stay an extra night, and not expecting it they owner did not even charge us for the extra night, how great is that! It is perfectly placed, near a community that allows you the opportunity to chill at the pool and beach, and go out to quite nearby restaurants, and only 20 minutes to Manuel Antonio or Jaco, two busier communities.

Best place to stay in Bejuco!

This is a modern, large house located in a lovely gated community. Access going in and out is very easy, security is very friendly. We had an electrical issue at check-in but Dan was very responsive and it was fixed in a timely manner. It's about a 10 minute walk to a beautiful, quiet beach. My daughter and I really enjoyed using the boogie boards supplied with the house. Having the private pool in the backyard is wonderful. It's only about 20 minutes from Jaco if you want to go to restaurants, shops. FYI the kitchen had no essentials: no spices, cooking oil, dishwasher soap, etc. which was a bit unusual, especially at this price point. But overall a great place, highly recommend for a peaceful stay!

We're always happy when our guest are too. While we pride ourselves on ensuring that our guest are not short of basic needs, sometimes our support staff just miss stuff. But we do listen. Our kitchen should always have the essentials and more. If you say you need a garlic press, then by all means you shall have a garlic press. We're passing on this review to our staff to ensure all kitchen essentials are covered. Please never be shy about requesting anything. These missing items could have been provisioned, had we known. Thanks to our guest, we're ensuring that our checklist is more vigilantly verified for each new stay at Casa Marcelo. Cheers and Pura Vida.

Awesome location, outstanding hospitality

When we arrived to Casa Marcelo we where not sure what to expect, but for sure wanted to have a trouble free family vacation. As soon as we arrived to the gate (once they confirmed our id's) the typical costarican friendliness kicked in as one of the gate guards asked us to follow him on his bike as he escorted us to the house and guided us thru this beautiful and peaceful neighborhood. As soon as we opened the door we were mesmerized with the art-deco of the house. The girls quickly went to pick one of the 3 bedrooms (the master bedroom was out of the picture. That was ours!) After a few minutes in there we had realized that we had made the right choice by staying here. We truly enjoyed the pool, the hammock and the porch area which we made our dining area for the whole stay. There are plenty of things to do around the area. We decided to cook ourselves. The kitchen was completely equipped with everything and anything we could use. To our surprise when we ran short of a few cooking ingredients the neighbor told us that there was a "Pulpería" (a Costa Rican version of a small convenience store) 200 yards from the main guard gate. Once I got there a very humble a helpful owner greeted me and helped me find what I was looking for. Within walking distance right before you get to the beach you can also find a nice restaurant, which we did not try because we chose to do home cook meals instead. Now comes the most important part of the trip the beach... We loved this black sanded beach we had right at our front door, for the entire stay every time we went to the beach we only found a few people on it, which made it very nice for us since it almost felt we had a private beach at our disposal, we had a great time over here! Even the tourist we found at the beach were nice enough to offer taking some family pictures with us even asking them for it! I will always have great memories of this trip! I will definitely recommend to my friends and I will go back myself as soon a I have another oportunity.

It’s always great to hear that our guests enjoyed their time at Casa Marcelo. It’s especially gratifying when we receive requests from returning guests. We are continuously striving to add features and services for our guests to enjoy. We encourage our guests to also include any suggestions for making their stay even more pleasurable. The new oversized BBQ grill, for example, was the result of a guest request.

Yep

Yep. This house worked perfect for first time international travelers with two teenage girls. Not once did we feel unsafe. Food in the area was awesome. We all liked the Casados. Beaches could not have been any better. The proximity to National Parks, hikes, and endless tours kept us busy every day. Got to check out the Rainmaker. Danny was more than accommodating and in my opinion went above and beyond as a VRBO host. Our visit was for five weeks in June. Rained every day but one. But that being said, everyday but one was beautiful. Loved the weather. Yes! We will stay here again. Pura Vida! And consider yourself lucky if you end up here.
