Luis’s place is awesome. House is very clean, easy to find, save, and peaceful. The plunge pool was perfect for us. And we had a few monkeys playing in the trees surrounding the house. That made our evening! Highly recommend. Place is close to town, and there’s a market at the main road entrance. Very convenient. Will stay here again, if I’m in the area.

This is such a lovely retreat. The home is well cared for and very comfortable. Loved my stay!

We had a great stay. Luis was very helpful and gave us a lot of great recommendations. There were many types of birds in the trees every morning and there was a family of howler monkeys that visited in the trees on the property right behind the house. We loved the plunge pool and the location was perfect for us to explore the many beautiful beaches in the area.

Really nice place. Safe and clean. Lovely little pool to cool off at the end of the day. Walkable to the beach and main strip (15-20min walk), which was very nice. Private and easy parking

Excellent stay, a very unique experience tucked in the Costa Rican nature and located just 5min away from Brasilito beach. I highly recommend this property for your vacation and for couples is absolutely perfect. We had a lovely time and to top it off we also enjoyed a warm fire outside after a pool afternoon. Luis is a great host super attentive and welcoming. A true 5 star stay you won't forget!

Before you book

Questions we get asked

How do I get in when I arrive?

Check-in is self-service. A few days before you arrive we send the gate code, the door instructions and a map pin, so you can let yourself in at any time after check-in.

How close is the beach, really?

Playa Brasilito is about 500 m — a walk of roughly ten minutes. Conchal, the one with the shell sand, is a five-minute drive.

How far is the airport?

Liberia (LIR) is about an hour by car. We recommend renting a car — public transport in this area is limited and having your own vehicle makes the beaches much easier to reach.

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking on the property, for one vehicle per apartment. You don’t need to reserve it.

Can I bring a pet?

Yes — both apartments are pet friendly. Let us know when you book so we can have everything ready for them.

How does payment work?

You pay the full amount by card when you book, through Tilopay’s secure checkout. Your card details never reach us. You get a confirmation email as soon as the payment clears.

What if I need to cancel?

Write to us as early as you can. Cancellation terms are shown before you pay and are included in your confirmation email.

Hosted by Dandelion

We’re a small team based in Costa Rica, and we’ve been hosting on this coast for years. Someone local looks after both apartments, so if anything comes up during your stay there’s a real person nearby — not a call centre.
