Beach Front Home with pool and Breathtaking Ocean views!!

Casa Alegre is a 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath 3 level house that sits on the beautiful black sand beach of Playa Junquillal. Surrounded by lush green gardens. You arrive at the Mexican tile and slate winding stairs that bring you to the main house. This floor has 180-degree views of the Ocean. The fully equipped kitchen has a stainless-steel refrigerator, oven, cook top and dishwasher. The laundry room is located behind the kitchen and there is also a Ā½ bath on this floor. The main house has 3 ceiling fans, flat screen Tv with cable service and fiber optics WiFi service. The oversized windows of the main living area allow for the breeze and sounds of the Ocean to fill the room. There are 2 couches in the living area and a dining table for 6, all with Ocean views. Should you require the use of the air conditioner, this area can be closed off with accordion glass doors for complete comfort. The master bedroom with a king size bed is on this floor and also has Ocean views with a private balcony with a bistro set to enjoy your morning coffee. The master bedroom has a ceiling fan, closet, private full bath with shower stall and air conditioning.

Leaving the main house there is another set of Mexican tile and slate stairs that lead to the 3rd floor sundeck. Enjoy the jacuzzi tub while sipping on a cocktail watching the sunset. Great area for sunbathing or to start your morning with Yoga and meditation.

The swimming pool area is at ground level between the back of the house and the Ocean. Here you can enjoy the gas grill and picnic table with seating for 6. The 2 separate guest rooms are pool side and each have its own private entrance. Sliding glass doors with screens allow you to listen to the Ocean waves crashing and all the sounds that nature has to offer. Each guest bedroom has private bathrooms with shower stalls, closets, ceiling fans and air condition, for your comfort. As the guest bedrooms are pool side, it is NOT recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 12 to sleep here.

Between the pool and beach is a sandy area covered naturally Almond trees where you can take naps during the day or have a private massage. Sit out by our private Palapa Rancho where you can enjoy the Ocean under over, take long walks on our amazing black sand beach, maybe see turtles laying eggs or baby turtles hatching, maybe see a whale or 2 passing by or surf just a few steps north of Casa Alegre, the options are endless.

Casa Alegre is a great option for both a romantic get-away for 2 or a family holiday.

Pleasant, needs updates
The pictures on line are older, and do not reflect present conditions. We enjoyed our stay, great location. BUT, the place badly needs to be updated and is not well maintained. Just a lot of little things. The biggest problem was that the host was not truthful when asked about the hot tub. I specifically asked if it was working (because of earlier reviews) and was told it was working, it was not, probably has not worked in awhile, the pump motor is buried in sand. We loved the wildlife, howler monkeys in the morning, a family of raccoons, and the iguanas. Not the cleanest place, the floors were swept but not mopped. Donā€™t get me wrong, itā€™s very quaint and we enjoyed our stay, bit a lot of maintenance and updates need to be done, such as the shower head in the master bathroom.

Incredible location, house needs some love
Pros: -location, it's right on the beach and is very private -pool and pool area is very nice and relaxing -neighboring dog would come by and hang out with us at random times -views from master bedroom, living room and rooftop are amazing -wifi worked great Cons: -lots of ants in one of the poolside bedrooms on the bottom floor -house needs some general repairs and replacements, broken light fixture in bathroom, toilet seats stained, broken plastic adirondack chairs on rooftop deck, etc. -no shelves or anything in poolside bedroom bathrooms, no luggage racks -palapa on beach was unusable, looks like it's being demolished -every room in the house has a separate set of keys and alarm, lots to keep up with -sliding glass door in poolside bedroom would not lock, there was an iron bar door that did lock to keep people out. But the bars are wide enough that someone could reach through and grab anything within reach. Overall: The house looks very impressive upon arrival. Once you get in, you can quickly see where it has been neglected. The house is also very segmented. While it's a good place to sleep for a group of 6 like us, there was not really an indoor area for us to hangout comfortably as a group. There is no shade on the rooftop deck, so that was great for early morning and nighttime. The main living area with the kitchen has only a small sofa and one chair, aside from the dining room table. The kitchen is much smaller than expected but was all in working order. We did love the gas stove and laundry room. The onsite caretaker was pleasant but is seemingly always around. It didn't bother us, but some may not like it. He also stressed to us many times to always lock up and use the safes in the rooms. We didn't have anything stolen or suspect anybody attempting to enter the property. This is a cool house, off the beaten path. With some updates and other general repairs, it could be a 5-star accommodation. As is, we probably would not stay here again.

Unique Beach front paradise
This property had everything my family was looking for in a relaxing secluded beach side vacation! We had the most amazing time enjoying the wild life including a pack of monkeys and raccoons that visited through out our stay! We felt safe with Fernando the house keeper staying on the property, as well as a good security system. The pool was beautiful and relaxing and roof top sun sets were magical. If you are looking to unwind on almost private beach this is the spot!

This was our first Costa Rica trip and it didn't disappoint. The house is rustic, but has everything you need and the location is amazing. The top deck in particular is worth every penny. If you're looking for something out of the way, I'd definitely recommend this stay. We loved it.

RENTERS BEWARE!!!
There is a reason why there are SO many locks and keys and a security system(which didnā€™t work for half of our visit. This part of Costa Rica is remote, and prone to ā€œbandidosā€. On our first full day while relaxing by the pool, the next door neighbor starts screaming bandido bandido and chasing a guy out of his house with a machete. I guess the guy was trying to rob them. Then heā€™s calling for Fernando to come help, but Fernando was gone. The guy tried to run into our yard but I was there and he stopped. Naturally this tainted the rest of our trip and I didnā€™t go anywhere again without carrying a machete. This is not my idea of a relaxing trip. As for the property, it was nice, but way way overdue for updates. 1. The toilet was turned off, but I turned it on. 2. The washing machine leaked and we couldnā€™t use it. 3. The jacuzzi tub button didnā€™t work. So, later, I found out if you want to use it, after you fill it up, you have to crawl into a service access opening to physically plug it in. When you are done, you have to reach in there and unplug it. 4. The master bed is ridiculously loud. Just turning from your back to your side makes so much noise it woke me and my wife up. 5. The air conditioner in the master bedroom works, but is much less cold than the other rooms. 6. Both downstairs rooms smell musty, like mold. 7. The shade covering was ripped to pieces when we got there. Shade is very important to us, so I spent time and repaired it well enough to use. The house in general is really nice, although its really showing age. Needs to be painted. The beach setting is amazing. We had a bonfire which was awesond. We loved having someone come cook for us one night. What a treat. The local restaurants were easy to get to and pretty good, guacamaya was our favorite. The sunsets here are great too. Fernando was very nice and helpful when he could be.

More Rested and Relaxed than Ever!
We are sitting in the Liberia airport, waiting for a flight back to Denver and SO HAPPY that we have missed 2 major snowstorms during our 2 week stay. Casa Alegre was a very nice retreat from our very busy, stressful lives, and as we sit here, we are more relaxed and refreshed than we have been in the past year. The absolute star of this house is the outdoor space. The rooftop deck is INCREDIBLE for morning coffee, cocktails (and dinner) at sunset. We waited until the last night to have Fernando (onsite manager) to ask to fill the jacuzzi tub and wish we would have asked on the first day! Soaking in the tub with a glass of wine, whilst watching the sunset is an incredible memory that we will never forget. The pool is so refreshing to dip into when you come back from hot beach, or if you are like us, to sit by for half of the day. There was always bright sunshine (my fave) and plenty of shade if needed (hubby's fave). The kitchen is well equipped, and Gio will even DO YOUR GROCERY SHOPPING for you before you arrive! Bedrooms - the beds are all a bit hard, but after a day, we slept easily. It was a perfect, restful, relaxing trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Guacamaya Lodge for dinner (HIGHLY) and APV Tours for an adventure tour. Both were beyond great. Pura Vida!

Secluded, quiet, "private beach"
We spent a week with some friends we had not seen in years. Overall we had an enjoyable experience. The property is in a more remote area so very private. The views from anywhere on the property are breath taking. The beach is just a minute walk out the back door. Beach waas clean and sandy, no rocks hidden under the surface. The house was pretty much as described. It was clean. I found the kitchen to be minimalistically stocked wih utensils, and cookware. And for the rental price, with lower end utensils, cookware. The gas grill was in good shape, unfortunately we only could use it once and then the gas ran out. I think having a spare tank on hand would be reasonable, or at least have instructions on hand in regards to replacing it. The jacuzzi tub on the roof is a nice concept, would be nicer if it actually worked. We finally got around to using it the last day, only to find the pump would not turn on. The poolside lounger chains still had the same ugly stains on them that someone else commented on. We just flipped them over so we would not have to look at them. Overall the house needs a little TLC. The house has a lot of potential, but I felt for the money it fell a little short. Fernando was great and responsive, he does not speak any English, but we managed fine. Grounds were well maintained. Area restrauants were all excellent. Near by grocery store well stocked. Manager communication good.

Dream house
My family and I came with my 86 year old grandmother and this house made our Costa Rica experience! The home was so private , we enjoyed the private black sand beach. The views from the rooftop along with the hot tub were incredible. Although mobility is an issue for my grandmother, the walk upstairs was not too difficult for her. Everything in the home is top quality . We also felt very safe and the grounds keeper was so friendly and respectful. Every time I return to Costa this will be my go to home !

Perfect house to chill and recharge
From the outset, communication with property manager Brenda Carlin was extraordinary. She was in daily contact when we needed her and responsive almost immediately. Great info at the beginning and throughout our stay. Fernando couldn't have been better at helping us at times and not bothering us otherwise. Like many locals, his English is very limited so be prepared. The house is very true to the photos and very comfortable for an extended stay. We spent many days just lounging and reading around the gorgeous pool where there's a shady area at all times of day and the water temp was perfect relief from the warmer air. It's clear the owner has been diligent in investing in the house with recent extensive window replacements, updated bathrooms and kitchen, and plenty of what is needed to do meals at home. More comfortable seating and better lighting in the seating area would be nice and in keeping with the other upgrades. Extremely easy access to miles of gray sand beach, which was mostly deserted during our April visit. Turtle nests are evident on the upper beach and we say pelican flocks as large as 60 at a time. It's wonderful to see an area where nature is still triving and humans haven't yet pushed things into decline. All in all, a great restful vacation and kudos to the staff for superb support.

Wonderful house on a wonderful beach! We enjoyed the pool? The beach with warm water, the sun deck!
The only part of the house that I had a hard time understanding prior to our arrival was that the two downstairs bedrooms only have slider access to the outside. The house is a very outdoor space oriented design, and there are no interior stairs or interior hallways. Every room opens to the outside. This was not a problem for us, but was a little unique with children and explaining to them how to get in and out of the security gates, since their rooms opened to the exterior. Overall a wonderful experience and a wonderful house. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us!!!

Unforgettable Honeymoon
Location is everything! This beach town is super small, tight-knit, and welcoming. My husband and I arenā€™t extraverts by nature, but the people in the community strike up conversations - ā€œhow do you like Costa Rica?; where are you from?; oh! You have to try this restaurant....ā€ This beach is one of a kind. You can find amazing shells, help release baby turtles with the local conservation effort, explore the rocks, and even cross the mangrove estuary to get to another part of the beach. Brenda, the property manager, was amazing. Before we arrived, she emailed a bunch of helpful information- excursions, restaurants, things to do, travel tips, etc. During our stay, she checked in via Whatā€™s Ap several times to make sure we were having the best experience possible. She even booked an in-house massage for us, as well as our kayaking mangrove tour. Fernando and Bracsi, the workers that stay on site, were so sweet. They donā€™t speak much English, but are easy to understand. It seemed to me like they try to stay out of sight so you can enjoy your stay. The home itself is not super clean. HOWEVER - I think it is as clean as it CAN be, since youā€™re truly at the beach but in a dry forest. Yes, there are bugs. I think you will find this anywhere you stay in CR. It seems like the ants were nocturnal. They didnā€™t bother us, though. They donā€™t bite or anything. We did, however, keep our bread/cereal/etc. in the oven to keep them out of reach. The tub on the rooftop appeared (to me) to be a hot tub. It is actually just a jetted tub that you personally fill. This was kind of a bummer, because it didnā€™t have a cover to keep bugs out. Fernando was great about cleaning it, but we still decided not to use it. The pool is super refreshing! Even during 95degree days, it feel cool. The pictures (again, to me), made it appear like the house was interconnected. The two bedrooms at the bottom of the house are not accessible from the inside. They are only accessible from the outside pool area. Itā€™s a rule that children canā€™t stay in the pool-side/downstairs bedrooms, and for good reason! One of the bedroomā€™s doors only has about an 18ā€ clearance from the pool. Also, drunk adults beware! The master bedroom bed is awful. However, we would be so tired after a day of sun that we slept fine anyways. All and all, we loved our stay. We got to experience so much right in the neighborhood. We plan on returning to Junquillal ASAP!!!

Amazing House and Management
My wife and I stayed at Casa Alegre for 3 nights and it was absolutely perfect! Brenda, the property manager was highly communicative and helpful throughout. Within one hour of arriving she called to let us know that the sea turtle hatchery was about to release some babies into the ocean. My wife and I went down there immediately (itā€™s only 1 mile away) and got to see it thanks to Brenda. What a great surprise! Fernando was incredibly kind as well, showed us the property, and lives on the property if you ever need anything. You barely see him, but itā€™s nice knowing heā€™s around if needed. The property is also beautiful. You are steps from the beautiful black sand beach, and itā€™s rare to see more than a few people on the beach. You almost have it all to yourself. Watching sunsets on the rooftop was our favorite part of the stay. We spent the first 3 nights of our trip at the Westin Playa Conchal and then the final 3 nights here. It was great to see multiple places, but enjoyed our stay here more than the Westin. We would definitely go back and thanks to Brenda and Fernando for making it such a great experience.

That said, the "local" restaurants are great, people are fantastic and the house did exactly what we had hoped: allowed for a ridiculously relaxing 10 days....sleeping with the windows open was priceless!

The house is absolutely amazing and is exactly how it is in the photos if not better. The beach is almost private. We actually didnā€™t see anyone. We had the luxury of having the 3 bedroom house just for the 2 of us. Jacuzzi on roof top watching sunset was most romantic. Lovely pool. If you keep eyes open you will see a family of 3 big raccoons visit every night. Brenda is the best host - very responsive with everything. Must try the day spa at Los Altos Eros - it is heaven. Ask Brenda to book for you. We hope weā€™ll be back at this gorgeous house very soon!
