Spectacular property. We've stayed at premium houses in Hawaii, Bahamas, Florida and this is right at the top. We loved everything about the house, property, location, and would come back in a heartbeat.
First - the house itself. Beautifully designed house, contemporary, and wonderfully laid out. We had mom, dad, and 4 kids - each of which got their own large room and lots of room to spread out.
The kitchen was a chef's dream, had every kitchen tool you could imagine, including a deep fryer... which was good because we had Gio & Mikey prepare us dinner 3 times and breakfast 3 times. You need to try this luxury - they are truly masters and made the most wonderful meals. And they were just a lot of fun to be around.
Michael & his concierge team were excellent, and took care of transport, rental cars, sailing, diving, and more. When we needed help with something last minute, they took care of it.
The beach was 10/10. The softest powder light gray sand.
Sometimes no one on either side of us for 1000 feet. The water was warm, the waves a ton of fun - we did some surfing on site, BUT you need to be cautious of tide flows if you go out a ways.
Location was excellent. Roughly half way between Jaco and Quepos, very convenient. We could get into Quepos in 30-35 min, and Manuel Antonio in another 10-15. Loved eating on the hilltop at Emilio's or Aqua Azul.
A couple of great adventures; diving with Oceans Unlimited, and mangrove kayaking with Nacarcosta (monkeys!).
