"We loved it"

"The house and pool at Villa Futaga are absolutely beautiful. Well maintained with incredible ocean, island and sunset views. This is a private and secure oasis for your Coastal Rican adventures.However, he highlight of our visit was the service. It would be hard to overstate the attention to detail and genuine care demonstrated Bilotis and her team."

On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels

"The Host Ben is very responsive and kind. I wanted to experience living among the Ticos and we loved it. This place is unique and cozy for the 4 of us girls. There are some minor upgrades needed but we are so easygoing that it was not a bother. We survived a huge thunderstorm and no power for just a couple hours. The property has 2 cats. Also each bedroom has air conditioning and we enjoyed Netflix in the evening. This area is definitely a surf town and several restaurants walking distance....

Family Apartment, 2 Bedrooms | Living area

"Conveniently located in the center of village steps to coco beach. Couldn’t ask more from a location standpoint. Friendly staff, easy to communicate and ready to help. Facilities are a bit old and needs an upgrade, faucet was broken and spilling water sideways. Other than that, we had a awesome stay at this place"

"The view from my room was beautiful! The room was perfect for a couple. I would give it a five stars rating if the bathroom didn’t smell like mold. I told the front desk; they said they would look into it; but nothing was done. In addition, the TV didn’t work on the third day that we were there. They could not fix it 😕 The construction noise started from 07am to 10 pm. There was only one road to get in and out of town. It was very very bumpy! Food was expensive at Las Catalinas and...

"We loved our stay here and were bummed to leave and to say goodbye to our host, Ben! This was a fantastic spot for our family of six, with three bedrooms, each featuring a king-size bed and its own bathroom. The local beach and the walk to it were amazing—we saw so much wildlife! Our host was incredibly helpful, providing excellent recommendations for restaurants and local activities. One highlight of our trip and a recommendation from our host was visiting a nearby turtle hatchery, where our...

5 bedrooms, in-room safe, iron/ironing board, travel cot

"We enjoyed our stay at sunset villa. The location and property was superb and the host was very accommodating."

"I loved the experience I had here! They make sure you have everything you need as well as very informative about the surrounding area!"

"We enjoyed a longer stay on this return trip. The villa is comfortable in every way, and the nearby pool and restaurant were convenient and a perfect complement to relaxing on the patio and enjoying the ocean views beyond. We especially enjoyed the many birds in the area this yea. "

"First off, the pictures don't do justice to the interior decorations. The paint is not that garish in real life, the orange and green will not burn your eyes out, and the surfboards mounted on walls with high ceilings look great. The hosts left a little gift bag of coffee & wine to get started. I needed to go next the shop next door to pick up coffee filters & a corkscrew, but that was a minor detail. The location is perfect for dawn patrol surfing or simply walking on the beach at...

"Having a basically private pool for our toddler to play right outside the doorstep made this leg of our trip unbelievably wonderful. The condo is in a great location, there are lots of lovely neighbours, the best grocery store we found on our whole vacation was just up the street, and the walk down to the beach was always fun and entertaining. The condo itself is pretty simple and minimal—which is what we were expecting, thankfully."

Breakfast, lunch, dinner served; Mediterranean cuisine

"The home we stayed in was lovely and spacious. Property is quiet and peaceful. The pool was really nice and the beach was fantastic. We’d stay here again!"

"This was the most amazing place. The beach was pristine, clean, great swimming beach. View from room was amazing. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. It has the most beautiful beach by far from most places in Guanacaste. Will definitely stay again. This is a once in a lifetime place to stay. You will Not be dis "

"The place had amazing views. The staff was very nice. The number of bedrooms/ bathrooms was very misleading. I would not recommend that an adult sleep on a pull out couch."

"Well kept colonial townhouse 5 min walk from the beach. Traveled with toddlers, so walking to the beach or up to the pool was a bit of a challenge. There’s some noise from the road, but we used WN to sleep, so didn’t really notice. The facilities are great, house had everything we needed. Would stay again."

"We couldn't have asked for a better spot. We rented both adjoining properties and had plenty of room for our large group of 32 people. Manfred was attentive to all of my msgs and responded quickly. The chef service was delicious and a blessing. The only thing I would change is add more days. The grounds staff was wonderful and friendly. We had some of our people get stuck in Tamarindo when a rain storm came in and the water taxis stopped running. We had to send cars to pick them up, but this...

"This home on Playa Potrero had everything we needed for our party of 13 adults and 4 boys, ages 5 to 8 to enjoy 8 days in Costa Rica. It was perfect to just walk outside the home and be on the beach, listening to the waves roll in was so relaxing. Greg the property manager was always quick to respond to emails and text messages. The chef was friendly and provided meals that were delicious. The housekeeping staff Mercedes and Doris were great, always smiling and friendly, iphone translator made...

"Nice older property and rooms. Staff is wonderful and the pools and breach area are good. My kids aged 15-19 had a great time. What I didn’t enjoy was that you must wait in line for the restaurant of your choice each night for 30-45 minutes to get seat right at 6 pm or you get a buzzer that will go off later which you will have 10 minutes to get your family or group down there. There is nothing else anywhere near this hotel so think you will have outside options. "

"We had a wonderful stay. The staff were polite and very friendly. Great service. I would definitely recommend staying here for an easy beautiful vacation. "

"The location is right across the road from the beach, so you can havea beach day or pool day. There are great restaurants both on site and within walking distance. "
