27 Nov - 28 Nov

"We came to San Mateo to visit the area and meet with builders for our new property in San Mateo Ecovilla. Ivan and Grace are really great and were helpful with great feedback and recommendations about San Mateo. They have 5 dogs that are very well behaved and friendly, but are also well trained to stay off the terrace of the casita. We had a wonderful time and plan to stay there again."

Combined shower/bathtub, hair dryer, towels

"Excellent stay! My only issue was the A/C auto-shut off linked to doors and windows. This should be turned off as it was quite disruptive and uncomfortable at times for a vacation rental."

"We had an absolutely amazing time celebrating my birthday here. The property was clean and inviting. The view was amazing! The property manager, Piet, was courteous and informative! We went during the rainy season, but still had a great time. Daytime was warm & we enjoyed the pool and again, the VIEW! Would definitely recommend! "

"We spent 4 wonderful days at this magical property. The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained. The kitchen is very well appointed. The attention to detail in design of the home and decor all contribute to the feeling that we were priviledged to share a very special place! Truly one of our most memorable experiences. "

"If what you are looking for is a beautiful view, this is your place. The only way to get to the beach is walking and the up hill walk is very very hard, definitely not for seniors. Also is better to take with you all your groceries to cook your own meal due to getting in and out of the property its about 25 minutos and more if they send you by the public entrance, witch happens to us upon arrival. The security guard on site, Jimy, was very helpful and friendly. The apartment needs some minor...

On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels

"Property is as described. It's dated but well cared for. The caretaker is great. PLEASE note. Last few kilometers of road are not paved...we had 4x4's was fine. Closest supermarket is a 40 minute - hour drive. Beach isn't the best for swimming but totally remote and private. We loved this place. "

"We had an amazing time at Casa Sammie. Patri was amazing. She communicated ahead of our trip to make sure we had everything we needed to easily find the house and check in. She gave us local recommendations for some groceries to help us throughout. She also would have been a great resource for excursions and adventures, but we had booked some stuff before we arrived. She also gave us awesome little tips along the way which made our vacation seemless. She was very responsive anytime we had a...

"This was way better than we expected. The pictures barely do the propert justice. Super great house with immaculate yard and pool, extra seating outside and outdoor kitchen facility. Only with I could have stayed longer! The owner was very helpful and responsive. Highest recommendation from myself and my friends who came with ne. "

"Super Familie, tolle und hilfsbereite Leute! Wir hatten ein Supererlebnis dort. Mitte in der Natur! Traumhaft für uns!"

5 bedrooms, in-room safe, iron/ironing board, free WiFi

"Our stay at this beautiful house in Punta Leona was absolutely perfect! The location was ideal, offering stunning ocean views and being just a short 4-minute drive by golf cart or car to the beach. We felt very secure with security guards stationed at multiple points throughout the property. The house was impeccably clean, with ocean views from three of the rooms exactly as shown in the listing photos. We opted not to book the optional apartment and found the house spacious enough for our...

Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels

"We enjoyed Mary’s place very much. The small gated community allowed us to visit with Dani and Barbara who were also staying in the complex. So wonderful to get advice for excursions from other visitors. Chris who helped us with our arrival was beyond helpful. Chris was responsive and very willing to answer all my questions as quickly as he can. Mary, the owner was very flexible and caring. The location was perfect as our two favorite beaches, Playa Blanca and Playa Pita , were 10 minutes to...

"Never again. We had to leave 2 days early and try to find another place on high season for my party of 8 because of over booking. The service was just terrible. To bad, because the area was great. Dont rent from this place."

"It is gorgeous. I did follow Waze the wrong way up a mountain, so use Google Maps! The property managers are very communicative : )"

"Pros: The pool was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our stay. The view from the patio was beautiful and a great place to relax. The bathrooms were really nicely updated. The beach was nice as well. Cons: The doorknobs and window locks need serious upgrades. The hallway bathroom window lock was broken and the window was open (with no screen). I found the screw on the window sill and screwed it back in place to have the lock work again. The patio sliding door knobs felt like they were about...

"For a small apartment, I was quite surprised to find it boasted 3 bedrooms. This little home featured everything I required for my stay--full kitchen, plus washing machine for my laundry. I was quite happy staying there, and Kristian, the owner, made sure I had everything I needed. More than just the owner, I met a new friend in Kris."

"My family stayed at the property and had a wonderful time. Arturo and Maribel are the caretakers and are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. They keep the property in fantastic shape and are extremely helpful. I highly recommend hiring Maribel to do the cooking, as she is amazing!! The pool is great, the beach was just fine for swimming. Make sure to visit the "Monkey House" (casa de los monos) nearby, as that was my families favorite excursion. Again, I cannot stress enough how...

"Great location for simply relaxing. Thank you hosts for allowing us to check-in after hours. Enjoyed the view even though it will get dark after 5:30 pm. Need to wake up at 5:30 am to enjoy the sunrise."

"Piet and his wife were very helpful. The pool was a little cool but the property met our expectations."
