About Carrillo area:
The house is located in the center of Playa Carrillo, very close to the beach (approximately 400mts), this beach is absolutely beautiful! Is wide, full of palms, natural shades, and the ocean is usually warm and calm, which makes the beach a safe place. The house is also close (walking distance as well) to several restaurants and a small but very well stocked supermarket. The area is pretty safe; however, we always recommend leaving the house closed and don’t leave valuable items visible in the car.
There's a lot of great activities to do around such as: horseback riding tours, kayaking or stand up paddle, surf lessons, sunset boat rides, snorkeling, hikings and some more. Ask us for details!
Samara town is pretty close and it's worth it. Its 20 minutes away driving and you can find there a great variety of restaurants and shops. The beach is beautiful as well and is great for taking surf lessons, the sea is usually warm and calm.
Last but not least, we have a golf cart that we rent daily so you can go to beach and explore the area easier. If you are interested just lets us know in the inquiry and we will provide you all the information. It’s a plus for your stay!

Amazing house
We were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids the house was bigger than our needs and easily catered for much bigger groups. For us it was perfect. Check in was simple and easy communication with host. We had a issue with the pool and the problem was solved the same day and the host responded immediately. Our Spanish was very poor so communication with the house staff was difficult and some requests lost in translation but they were there when called upon. They were very helpful the day we left when we noticed we had a flat tyre on one of the cars. The house itself is wonderful, our 3 kids (8,11&13) loved the pool as did we and the beds were very comfy. The amenities within the property are as described and the kitchen has every appliance you can think of. The fridge freezer leaked everyday but worked well enough, the host was made aware and using one of the many towels each day was sufficient enough. The location is excellent there are a few places to eat with an amazing Argentinian restaurant just a short walk away which we highly recommend, it’s fantastic food. Samara is only a 10/15 min drive which is full of everything you’d need with beach bars, surf lessons pharmacies restaurants etc. The nearby beach of Puerto Carrillo is stunning there were cool boxes in the house to take food drink with you on the 10 min walk or very short drive down to enjoy sunset or a day on it as we did. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to any big group.

Amazing House that has everything you would need
The property owner arranged all transportation for us and put us in contact with the Kenneth who prepared all meals for us, purchased groceries and alcohol for us, cleaned the bedrooms upon request, and helped us arrange yoga! The house was incredible and the pool was a great amenity. One thing to highlight is that Kenneth’s services and transportation should be paid in cash so make sure you bring enough to cover this! We would love to stay here again!

The house is great. We traveled with a group of 15 and had plenty of room. The only thing we were surprised by is the little room with the twin beds is actually not accessible from in the house, you have to go out the front door to it. Kenneth was great and he cooked 3 meals for us that were all delicious. We would definitely stay here again. The pool is wonderful!

3 Family Vacation
We were a group of 11; 3 couples and 5 teens / adults(16-21). Wonderful layout for our group; each couple and the boys and girls had there own bedroom and bathroom. Great for quiet time or group fun around the pool or bar area. We love the Carrillo (our 5th trip to the area)so the location was great. You get plenty of exercise walking to the beach and restaurants. We have eaten at El Colibri several times and it never disappoints. Found a new hidden gem of a restaurant; I believe it is called La Posada located in a B and B On the beach level on the road just before the bridge on the way to the beach or take the dirt road down the hill just past El Colibri. I will cal it sort of a French fusion restaurant, it was phenomenal. Every thing was wonderful at the house. FYI the drive way is a little step and a bit of a challenge to get out of because it is on the main road. Nelson, Lund and Just Families

Beautiful home near a beautiful beach
We really loved our time at this home and even hired the contact for the property as our private chef for a few of the nights. This house is a short walk or drive to the beach and our family of 16 had plenty of room to spread out when we needed some space. There are outdoor showers in the front and back of the house and the one in front was great for washing off the sand from the ocean. Each room has its own bathroom and AC. A few mornings we saw monkey's in the trees. This property has a pool that's great for kids, teens, adults, and older members of the family. We would absolutely stay here again.

Absolutely Amazing!
This is our second time staying at Casa Guarumo. We absolutely love Puerto Carrillo. The location is perfect for walks to the beach, or morning strolls. There are markets and a couple restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend d renting a car to visit nearby Samara. We however appreciate the quietness and low key atmosphere of Puerto Carrilllo. The house is gorgeous. It accommodated our party of 11 nicely. Each couple had a separate room with individual bathrooms so you never felt congested. Great open kitchen. Our kids spent hours in the pool. It’s a great set up. We will be back for sure next year. Highly recommend.

CASA GUARUMO CARRILLO
Casa Guarumo was a fun place to stay for our family of 10 adults and 9 kids. The location was ideal as it was a close walk to the grocery store and beach. Sergio was quick to respond to all our questions and needs. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook for a large group.

Perfect for multiple families/Parties
The entire house was exactly as photographed, beautiful, private and classy. A super relaxing house that was well ran. We had Xinia cook for us a few nights and breakfast. Her cooking was amazing! Mígale kept great care of the pool and the ladies cleaned daily, which helped with such a large group. I can’t state enough how great the supporting staff of the property are. I lost one of my diamond stud earrings at night. The next morning while the ladies were cleaning, I walked into my bedroom and saw it laying on the bench at the foot of the bed. I picked it up and asked where it came from as I lost it the night before. She found it under the bed while sweeping. I’m blown away and super appreciative at the honesty. Thank you Sergio & staff for making my parents 50th anniversary the trip of a lifetime with all of their kids and grandkids.

AMAZING property, very comfortable, helpful team.
Just reterned from a stay with 4 familes. Accommodation amazing - very spacious and comfortable. Sergio and his team (Xenia and Walter) were terriffic and ensured everything was perfect. Would highly reccommend. Property has all mod cons, great kitchen and pool areas. Bedrooms are quiet and private with open plan living areas. So much wildlife can be seen just from sitting by pool! Great supermarket accross the road and fantastic Argentinian restaurant 5 min walk away. Beach is about a 15 min walk away.

Great Stay
7 minute walk to the beach - truly - I timed it. This is an awesome place that I would come back to in a heartbeat. If you are looking for crowds, dust, and over priced food - head to Tamagringo. Otherwise - if you want relaxation, monkeys, an uncrowded beach, and quiet - you can’t go wrong with Casa G!

This was a wonderful house for our small retreat. Sergio and his staff were quick to respond, accommodate and tend to any questions or needs that arose. The rooms were all lovely and the pool and common areas were also lovely. It's a short 10 min or less walk to the beach. We had a very nice stay!

Fabulous Family Accomadation
My family recently stayed in Case Guarumo with 2 other families. We were 13 people in the house and there was plenty of room. The open layout of the house allowed for adults to have enough space to enjoy happy hour while the kids played for hours in the fabulous pool. The rooms were spacious, all with a private deck and private bathrooms. Most of the issues we had were taken care of immediately by Sergio. I really appreciated that he had our best interests in mind. We hired Xinia to cook our dinners for us, which was amazing. After a long day at the beach/day trip, the last thing we wanted to think about was dinner, so she did the groceries for us and had meals prepared when we returned. She does make amazing food. Overall, I would recommend this place and we will definitely return to Case Guarumo in the future.

Beautiful home, great location
My family and another stayed here for 10 days in March and absolutely loved the property. I didn’t personally meet Antonio, but he greeted the other family upon arrival. Xinia, the housekeeper was amazing, warm and friendly. She cooked dinner for all 10 of us one evening and even the picky kiddos loved it! The house is conveniently located close to a small store and nearby restaurants. You can walk to the beach, but we found it so simple to drive. Thanks to Antonio and staff for keeping the pool clean every day. Having a pool at the house was wonderful. Even though the temperatures were 90 degrees (F) every day, we stayed cool on the patio. We spent most afternoons and evenings out there. It truly was an amazing place to stay and I can’t recommend it enough! Gracias, Antonio and Xinia! We hope to come back again!

Beautiful Area - Playa Carrillo and Samara!
We very much enjoyed staying at Sergio’s house in Playa Carrillo! A wonderful place to stay to celebrate a 60th birthday with a small group of family and friends! The house is spacious, kitchen is easy to use and large enough for several to maneuver within, two refrigerators very useful, the pool was absolutely stunning and our favorite area to relax, and the landscaping very nicely done, …everything was so beautiful! The house is very functional with comfortable beds, each with its own bathroom, individual adjustable air conditioner, and ceiling fan. The rest of the house did not have air conditioners but the ceiling fans inside and on the deck were adequate for coolness and comfort. All linens and towels for home and pool use are provided. House cleaning and care included and we were able to arrange a date and time so it wasn't everyday to to have someone come - so we had some privacy. Two beach chairs are also available for the beach (and very comfortable.) But palm trees also provide shade. The open design of the dining and living room with TV and cable were fantastic. Large glass doors open on to the outside pool area - although the littler door was easier to slide open compared to the bigger one. There is a nicely shaded wood deck area where we did some morning exercises (yoga, and stretching). Sometimes the ants did their exercises with us -:) There is also a convenient outdoor shower and bathroom. We walked every morning on an easy short walk slightly downhill to wonderful Playa Carrillo with its open, non crowded , nice beach, warm waters, and could rent chairs and umbrellas. The sunsets were nice to watch. We found the nearby stores convenient and reasonable. We did rent a car, very useful in traveling around the area - which we would recommend. But if not, there are buses, you just need to get the schedule. We often headed to Samara a very short drive - for dinner, drinks, and shopping at the bigger food market. Toured with local vendors on various adventures (loved the "dolphin trip" where we saw humpback whales and so many pilot whales.) Traveled to nearby Oro River, kayaked during high tide, and visited the ARA project where they help MaCaws. The House is a comfortable, nice place to stay - especially with close friends and family. Saw monkeys, iguanas, birds etc……we hope to return for another celebration one day soon. Thank you Sergio, and Xinia too!

Amazing!!!
We love Costa Rica and we cannot speak fondly enough of the experience at Casa Moderna/Guanomo. The place was perfect for our family reunion. It slept all 20 of us comfortably for an entire month and the staff are wonderful, caring people with an attentive eye and a beautiful customer serving spirit. The house is truly the place pictured in the photos and the area is peaceful and serene. Clean, spacious, safe, well-kept! Not too far from town and Playa Carrillo beach. But close enough to walk to the local grocery store, the church and small cafes, and restaurants for a home cooked meal. All of which were important to the success of our stay. In addition, the swimming pool was immaculately kept on a daily basis. The gardens and courtyard areas as well. The housekeeping was never missed including staff providing additional tasks not included such as help with breakfast and laundering. Seeing is truly believing at Casa Moderno / Guanomo. We give this property five star status. Pura vida, Casa Moderna and staff! Pura vida, Costa Rica! Nuria and extended family
