The home itself was okay. The kitchen is not very well equipped. There is no a/c so if you want to relax in the home during the day this isnt the right fit for you. It does cool down in the evening. We stayed in February, it was in the 90s. The beds could use updating. In general, the owner would benefit in investing a small amount back into the property. Also you should be aware the house caretaker lives directly behind the house in a casita, very close, which was unexpected but we didnt mind. She came by to water plants, sweep, clean pool ect. She was quiet & respected our privacy.
Since for our family sitting in an air conditioned house wasn't our priority, we were still very happy. The pool is huge! The location is amazing. You step out the back gate onto a nearly empty gorgeous beach. With 4 kids you cant beat having the beach steps away. Within the gated community there's a coffee shop & resturant walking distance. There's also a very small grocery store & surf rental place thats a little further walk or very short drive. I'd HIGHLY recommend stopping at the walmart in liberia for groceries though - the local stores are very overpriced. You can walk down to the river mouth & pay to have boats take you to Tamirindo which has much more crowded beaches but has all the tourist activities, shops & restaurant selections. All in all for the price it is a great value for a large group. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room.
