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.

Bien située

What a beautiful property! We had an amazing stay at Casa Marcelo. Communication with Dan was excellent. As questions or issues arose, he was quick to respond. The house and pool are gorgeous, situated in a gated, secure community along the Pacific coast. Nearby to Jaco or Quepos if you are seeking “city life.”

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 loved bejuco beach area. Dan was a great owner and helped us with his great communication during our stay.

Great. Beautiful house. Relax environment. Safe, calm. Walking distance to beach. At night if you put attention you can actually listen to the ocean

Dan the owner is awesome. The security personnel are very professional and courteous. The house is simply beautiful. The pool is clean and very well maintained. And the area is a paradise. Internet is excellent. Everything was just excellent for us!

We stayed at Casa Marcelo in Apr/May 2021. Dan is a wonderful host who was quick to respond and sort out any issues. The house is spacious with 2 bedrooms in one section which was great for one family of 4, and the master bed was big enough for my family of 3. Dan organised an air mattress which worked great for our 6 year old daughter! (Though the huge master bedroom bed easily fit all 3 of us!) We experienced a power outage but the property manager fixed it within 24 hours. We had a few other power and water outages but only for an hour or two, it is normal for Costa Rica! There are also some bugs but again it comes with the territory and bug spray sorts it out. Our whole group had a fantastic experience at Dan’s Costa Rican home. The kids aged 4-7 enjoyed the pool and its easy to watch them from the hammock (or from the kitchen window if you remove the hammock).. the Rancho pools are split, 1 for owners, 1 for renters, and booking is required for 2 hour slots, only one Casa allowed at a time. The Rancho BBQ area was basically closed due to gov restrictions (1 chair allowed per table does not a party make). We attempted to do a birthday BBQ there but ended up at home, which worked out fine. The security staff is very vigilant about checking people in to the development, we had some difficulties getting our taxi driver in without advance notice (and in some instances, despite advance notice). But better safe than sorry. The neighbourhood is really friendly and we met a lot of lovely people there. We didn’t see any children living there full time (visiting owners or grandkids was what we saw). Costa del Sol is a really lovely retirement community, where each house has been built up to a different character. No cookie cutter houses here! We felt very safe. We also noticed that some houses have water tanks and/or water filters, which helps when there is a water outage... it is not recommended to drink the water in Playa Bejuco if the house doesn’t have a filter so we bought water at the store. There is “drinking water” available at big holding tanks throughout the area, the nearest one is at the beach. We used that water for some of the stay until one of our party had a sore tummy when we switched to bottled. The beach is really lovely - fantastic sunsets... a huge expanse of sand which disappears with the tide! The rip currents are strong in the area so be careful! Thank you Dan for a fantastic stay at your beautiful home.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Check-in and clearance through security went very smoothly, and Dan was always very responsive to all of our questions. The house was well-supplied. The walk to the beach (including walking through the community) was about a half mile, which our three young children were able to do easily, but there is also parking right at the beach if someone does not want to do the walk. The beach had fine, dark sand that was great to walk barefoot on. The waves were fantastic for our kids (with close supervision), and provided endless fun. We also enjoyed being able to swim in the pool in the privacy of our own backyard. The dishwasher seemed to be having some problems (but possibly due to a short electrical outage while we were there), and one sink had a leak, but Dan was responsive to our needs and none of these were hindering our stay in any way. We did not use the air conditioners as the fans and breeze from open windows were adequate for us. Overall, we felt very safe, we really enjoyed the time, we never had a complaint about cleanliness, and we appreciated Dan's quick responses.

We spent 5 weeks at Danny’s place with our family of 5 (including baby and small children) and I can’t say enough about what an awesome time we had. His house is spacious, well stocked and well kept. The kitchen is gorgeous and was very important for our extended stay. The private pool and well maintained backyard is another highlight and we spent many hours watching the kids enjoy the pool from the hammock. The house is in a great gated community, walking distance to the beach and very secure with 24 hour guards who were all very professional and polite. We never felt unsafe in the slightest. WiFi internet was also very reliable and fast. While at the house I was working online and two of our kids were learning remotely on video calls with the US. Internet speed was excellent even when all 3 of us were on our calls simultaneously which was key for us being able to stay for as long as we did. Lastly, Danny was very responsive and helpful whenever we had a question or needed anything. The whole experience was very smooth. Pura Vida!
