The house is wonderful, has everything you need to spend pleasant moments.

Ben and his property caretakers were very welcoming. The property is as described and just as beautiful. I would say that although it is mentioned in the listing, this is very secluded in the sense that from the main town you must drive 30 minutes down a dirt and very rocky road to get to the villa. There is a restaurant about 10 minutes down the dirt road from the house but that is the only option and then about 10 minutes further down the dirt road towards the town there is a market. It is not an easy ride to just get something you forgot so make sure you arrive at the Villa with everything you need for the weekend because to drive back and forth is not fun, it takes you nearly an hour to go back and forth to the town and get necessities. I would highly recommend using the catered meals option that they offer for all of your meals so you don't have to worry about the trek. The food is very good and better than any restaurant!! The house was very comfortable and a great size space for a family to share and still have some privacy. The beach here is beautiful and serene. If your desire is to visit Manuel Antonio or to spend time there then I would suggest staying there instead of this property. On the map they appear to be close but it's a 1hr and 15 minute drive from this villa to Manuel Antonio.

Thank you so much for sharing your vacation home. We had a great time at Tres Amigos with our children. They especially enjoyed the refreshing pool. Kattia and Francisco welcomed us together with their lovely children with chilled coconut water (Pipas), fresh fruit and big smiles. We were spoiled with delicious homemade meals from Gallo pinto for breakfast, shrimps for lunch and marlin for dinner. The beach was almost for ourselves. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped if you wish to cook for yourself. We enjoyed some of the board games and read many books on the porch. We will keep great memories! Thank you !

We loved staying at this villa because of its secluded spot along Palo Seco Beach and its close proximity to the beach. The house was clean when we arrived and we were welcomed warmly. We were given clear directions as to how to arrive and had no problem finding it, even in the dark. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves because we didn't see another person the entire time. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet, beautiful spot in Costa Rica.

The warm ocean and beach are only footsteps away. The beach is clean and sand dollars are prevalent. Other people are not which is a plus! The houses do not offer the amenities described. Wifi is intermittent. We had no hot water at any time anywhere for our nine day stay. Shampoo, soap, extra toilet paper, paper towels and hair dryer were not there. Bed was hard! Not even half of the faucets worked. The indoor shower was pitiful but the outdoor one was fine. No gazebo. But walking the beach and watching the sunsets made up for a lot. The real issue is knowing what to expect so you are not disappointed. It is not a good value even at this price.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Palo Seco. La Tranquilidad is off the beaten path and provided a private oasis while touring Costa Rica. We enjoyed our conversations with those guests we had the opportunity to chat. Although others were staying at the same time, the layout of the property provides many private spaces to share a moment. Hotel La Tranquilidad offered everything I expected from my first airbnb experience. Dennis and Mariana were kind and gracious hosts. The dogs provided much needed four-legged companionship for an early morning walk on the beach. I sense not many visitors from beyond Costa Rica would ever know about Playa Palo Seco without airbnb. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

We loved Hotel La Tranquilidad. The property is towards the very end of Playa Palo Seco so the beaches are virtually empty. The water is ideal, the hammocks were a welcome retreat in the morning or late afternoon, and everyone was accommodating, friendly, and generous!

My husband and I stayed at La Tranquilidad for 4 nights while we were on our honeymoon and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Marina reserved the private room with a balcony for us that looked out onto the beach so we could see the waves rolling in when we ate meals on the balcony. Marina and her husband were out of town while we were there, but their caretaker Denis was extremely helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. He cut down coconuts for us to have each day while we walked on the beach and helped us set up the grill to smoke some chicken for dinner. Their dogs were also friendly and adventurous companions to have around while relaxing or walking on the beach. We had a fantastic time and would definitely go back! One word of warning - if you do go during the rainy season don't forget bug spray :)

What an incredible property! If you're looking to get somewhere secluded, peaceful, and astoundingly beautiful — look no further. The hotel is located at the end of Palo Seco, an already secluded island near Parrita. You have the beach to yourself, as well as the mile toward the end of the island. The beach is black sand, incredibly pristine, and it's surrounded by palm trees greener than you can imagine. Add to this, Viktor and Marina who are amazing hosts, willing and able to provide anything that you ask for. The property has some nice amenities (including good wi-fi, which I used to work remotely, no problems there), the room was clean and air conditioned, and the bathrooms look brand new (black-tiled). There's not enough good things to say about this spot. Truly, if you want a one-of-a-kind getaway in Costa Rica, check this out. It's about as 'tranquilidad' as it gets!!

The host took good care of us and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. This place is off the beaten path but has all the amenities that you need for your stay. The place is right on the beach and quiet!

We had a great time during our brief stay.Marina and Viktor are warm host who make their guest feel comfortable. I love the beach at the end of the property! We did not check out much of the surrounding area during our brief stay at the property but the location lived up to its name. Easy access to cold beers onsite thanks to a fully stocked fridge that runs on the honor system kept us close to home :)

Hotel La Tranquilidad is off the beaten path but a total oasis! It's well worth the trek - the beach is empty and the sunsets are breathtaking. Marina and Dennis are wonderful hosts, who took us on a kayaking trip and helped us get to town whenever we needed to. The place has a fun community feel and the pool is quite lovely. Make sure to bring your own food!

I can not recommend this place highly enough, we would not like living anywhere else during our stay in Costa Rica. Viktor and Marina is very nice and helpful, and the same applies to all other staff at the hotel. The property is beautiful and the rooms are nice and clean. The beach, which is also good for surfing, is incredible and you will basically have it to yourselves!

This was our first visit to Costa Rica we would like to say thank you very much to Kristina and Yin for their perfect directions and excellent handover of the property on arrival and departure. We felt that should we need to contact them it would be no problem at all. The area is beautiful, the nearby beach is stunning and we enjoyed living here for our 17 days fishing holiday. The house is well equipped. No signal for TV but an extensive DVD library, good air con and good hot water for showers. As per a previous review there is a slight odour to the water and there are some local dogs taking shortcuts through the garden and a couple of rather noisy cockerels next-door. Nevertheless a lovely place to be. There are two local supermarkets in the nearby village and 2 large supermarkets in Paritta town as well as a bakery, butchers and banks. We would recommend booking a stay here, hiring a 4x4 and if it is the wet season it is just as beautiful but don't forget the insect repellent for those pesky mosquitoes!

Cool house if you want to be (URL HIDDEN) would be nice if it had a pool.....Friendy poodle and lab hang out on the porch and plenty of coconuts to pick up and drink...Also mangos to eat from the trees. Beach close but waves to harsh to swim in for us...maybe good for surfers It was great to have a washer,dryer and pool table.Rooms have air conditioning.He kitchen was stocked to cook and there were Plates,cups and silverware. Outside and tiny to watch And are harmless.We went to the beach in the evening and watched the lightening storms it was cool! The host was very kind

incredible and private beach. 2 dogs greeted us and stayed with us. good friends and guardians.

Magnificent getaway. Off the beaten path and away from the (rest of the) tourists. Many residents in the neighborhood are locals. Beach is uncrowded and simply stunning – although watch out for the rip tides, can be very dangerous. Not much going on in the immediate area, but Quepo is a very manageable 30min drive away and offers many activities which we took advantage of (segways, ziplines, rafting, boating, restaurants, shops). Spent a week there – two families of four. House was full, but still accommodating for all. Kristina & Yin were excellent hosts – promptly responded to all our questions. Two adorable dogs will be there to greet you as you come and go (they live next door) – which was an unexpected highlight. No view of the beach, but it is right around the corner.

This house is very secluded. It was awesome to have music to play and options for CD's and iPod dock. The DVD library was a life saver for my kids and the pool table was an added bonus. The house was spacious and welcoming. We had no water for a day( a fuse blew) and when we were able to get ahold of the handy man, he arrived quickly which was nice. There was no hot water and the shower had very low pressure which made washing difficult. That was my only complaint. The beach was very private but had crazy rip currents. There was information on this in the house when we arrived which was helpful but I do not recommend entering the water anywhere near high tide. We enjoyed the water ONLY at low tide. The stray dogs were incredibly sweet and welcomed and the coconuts were plentiful.

Kristina is a great host, easily reachable and very responsive for any questions or matters we had before or during our stay. Our group of 7 friends really enjoyed the villa, it's comfy, well-equipped and close to the beach. Palo Seco is a great place to stay in Costa Rica if you'd like a quiet and beautiful location, off the touristic paths, where to enjoy sunrises and sunsets... Thanks Kristina and say hi to the dogs, they were friendly unexpected companions!

This house is 2 minutes from a secluded private beach with wonderfull waves for surfing. You need a 4x4 to get around. It is less than one hour drive to Jaco, Quepos, Manuel Antonio Park. If you are adventurous, i recommend Los Campesinos Reserve for a suspended bridge and waterfalls with natural pools. Definitely need 4x4 to get there... Host is perfect with quick responses and great directions Highly recommend if you are in the central Pacific area. Please pet the little black poodle dog he is adorable.

We had a great at palo seco, the house is well maintain and a lot of room to have fun, plus the pool table and the movies made it better. The beach is really near the house and not to far from Parrita. I really recommand this place. Thank's to Kristina and Yin for the good direction and for all the answer to our question. Martin

This trip went as expected in every way. Kattia and everyone involved with the house made this experience one of the best vacations we have had. The house is a new renovation with no expense spared and the location is very close to being an island. The beach is your front yard and usually free of people and private. The pool was incredible with a view to the ocean and we ended up spending a lot of time there. There are some boutique hotels on the same peninsula that offer exceptional food and atmosphere if you don't want to cook at the house. One of them was Clandestino which we really liked and visited a couple of times. Jaco, Playa Hermosa, Dominical and Manuel Antonio National Park are a short drive away for excursions though we enjoyed the private peninsula most of the days. Great surfing and fishing is available in many places close by with plenty of restaurants and life. For groceries, Parrita is the most convenient and we found it had most anything we needed. In summary, this house is an extremely unique experience where you have a safe private setting within a short drive to the tourist hotspots. This house is everything the owners claim and much more! We definitely plan to return.

This house is a wonderful place for a private couples or family vacation, very tranquil and secluded, very peaceful, beautiful, in a great beach front setting, and the house is very clean with many amenities, such as full gourmet kitchen, washer and dryer, pool, hot shower, about a dozen ceiling fans. There is a long dirt road out of the town of Parrita to get to the house, it's a small adventure getting there. The house is surrounded by lush mango, lime, and coconut trees. The property manager, Israel, is a great host and an all around great guy. He cut fresh coconuts in the morning, and picked limes and mangos whenever we wanted. He also jumped our rental when we found out the battery was dead the morning we were leaving, at 6 am, and he did it with a smile. Whether you are coming here for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just some peace and quiet, this is a great plac(URL HIDDEN)

My family and I absolutely loved the house!! Kattia was extremely helpful and we loved the welcome with the fresh coconuts that Israel cut down for us. The beach was amazing and completely untouched and the pool was incredible. The kitchen was great for cooking and had all the cookware that we needed. We went to the local market (that Kattia recommended) and got some fresh meat, fruits and veggies. Everything was clean and totally comfortable. My family and I will definitely be coming back!

The house is wonderful, all new, spotless !!! place a paradise, quiet, safe, with lots of nature. Kattia attention was all excellent time !!!! We were greeted very well and were all set to make the most .... Thank you !! We will be back...

This house has it all. We were treated so well by the hosting team, enjoyed a private chef, and had everything we needed. No need to leave this paradise. Book it and plan to stay, it's absolutely wonderful.

I’d like to give a special word of thanks to our gracious host, Kattia. I reached out to her a couple of times to ask a quick question and she is so friendly and got back to me right away, as well as responding so quickly on the booking. So great to have that access since it was my first time staying in Costa Rica and I had some concerns. She was so attentive and helpful about any of my concerns that I’d trust her fully in the future. The place was everything described here and more!

This was an amazing trip. Kattia is a master at the art of hospitality. We will always use her services when we are coming to Costa Rica!

What a special place. Kattia's property is amazing. Right on one of the most secluded and beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Great for beach running and long walks. Our two families (ranging in ages from 11 to 55) swam and played in the ocean every day - soft sand; warm, clean water; active, but not crazy, surf. The house and surrounding property are gorgeous. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed - including a great pool and lounging area. We kayaked the estero and took walks around Palo Seco. There are a couple of restaurants along the beach towards town that are good - one fancy, one basic. The town (Parrita) is about 20 minutes away - it is not a tourist town, but rather a typical Costa Rican small town - with a solid grocery store that had everything we needed for our stay. Kattia and her caretaker, Israel, could not have been better or more attentive. Super quiet, super secluded, super property. Pura vida.

The cabin house we rented was amazing . It's on private beach with incredible vistas and tranquility.. You can spend hours strolling the beach and surfin or swimming. Marina, the host, is incredible with her friendly smile and helpful (URL HIDDEN) of the best places I have ever stayed while having a great time..looking forward tommy next visit there soon

The hotel is amazing and the staff is really accommodating. The house is a bit rustic, but the front rooms are really nice. The pool and beach area make it worth the price!

Hotel La Tranquilidad is off the beaten path but a total oasis! It's well worth the trek - the beach is empty and the sunsets are breathtaking. Marina and Dennis are wonderful hosts, who took us on a kayaking trip and helped us get to town whenever we needed to. The place has a fun community feel and the pool is quite lovely.

Had a real nice stay here. Took the kids age 7 and 10 and they were enjoying themselves in the swimming pool and the ocean. Appartment was nice, not fancy but good beds, airco and warm water. Only slept in the room, the rest is outside. Loved playing Pool with the kids and for the Yogi's, there is a nice place with perfect view over the ocean. Big fire at the beach at night was perfect. Thanks a lot, had a good time!

Awesome location on remote beach outside Parrita. When we arrived, I had the dreaded bubble guts and the host Marina was kind enough to provide some over the counter meds to help. Cool property - enjoyed playing pool and darts at night and walking on the beach with their dogs. Bring supplies as it's a bit of a drive down a bumpy road to Parrita for most things. There are a couple restaurants and a small store on the way, however.

Lovely home located on remote location on a natural beautiful beach and lagoon. Great host and generous caretakers helped with all our needs!

Marianas home is beautiful! It is steps from the beach and includes everything listed and more. She was there for our group every step of the way and checked on us constantly. We loved the home and the couple that lives on the property went above and beyond for us! We will definitely be back. The home is open and allows air to flow through but also is air conditioned and it is very comfortable.

We had such an amazing stay here! Bryan is an awesome host - so hospitable, made everything really easy, and was extremely quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is huge and fully equipped with everything you could ever need! The property is absolutely beautiful, private, and right across from a coconut grove & breathtaking beach. Caretakers, Roberto & Kathia, are the sweetest couple, and were always available with help & information. We highly recommend this place. It’s really special. We loved our time here, thank you again Bryan!

This house was perfect for our large group. We had enough space for everyone to feel comfortable. We enjoyed cooking together in the large kitchen and relaxing on the front porch with the ocean view. The hosts were perfect, they provided us with surf boards and even cracked us open some coconuts but at the same time gave us the privacy we wanted. There wasn't anything we could have asked more for.

The time our family spent at Bryan's house was amazing! Communication with Bryan was prompt and his caretaker Robert and Robert's wife, Kathia were very helpful during our stay. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was very convenient to have a washer and dryer, as well. The front porch was an amazing place to relax, especially in the morning. The location was off the beaten track, but only a quick drive into Parrita to get a bite to eat or grocery shop. There are many activities to do less than an hour away, but the beach house is so relaxing, you may not want to leave.

A truly lovely and well designed home with a completely equipped kitchen and very comfortable accomodations. The Porch with it's beautiful views, gorgeous gardens and furniture was especially hard to leave other than to take a swim in the warm ocean. The Caretakers, Robert, Katia, their son and especially their dog Baloo made us feel right at home making our week there even better. We've rented homes around the world but this just might be our favorite in our last 40 years of seeing the world. We look forward to returning for longer than a week next time!

If you're looking for a private beach all to yourself and a dreamy landscape of coconut trees and vast expanse of beach this is for you! The house was huge and beautiful with all the comforts needed. Great memories and ending to our 1 week CR vacation. We'd love to come back again!

The house was great! Definitely a beach front house and the definition of a secluded get away trip for us. Bryan was an awesome host and the home caretakers made it easy for us. Hope to come back in the near future!

The house is fantastic. It's HUGE. The beach is right there. Robert and Kathia are super nice. Communication with Bryan was quick and easy. We'd get food at the local Maxi Pali, 10 minutes drive, half on the dirt road and eat in the house most times. There's a resort at the end of the road where the restaurant is excellent.

This beach house is amazing. It looks exactly like the photos and is across the road from the beach. The kitchen has all the equipment you need and the front porch is perfect for relaxing and listening to the ocean. Brian is a gracious host and the caretakers for the house are always available, very friendly and helpful. We were here with our 1-year old baby and he had fun playing in the sand. The waves are big and the currents are strong at the beach in front of the house (it is the open ocean) so we didn't let him go in the water there, but he still had a great time. There is no hot water at the house, but it wasn't big deal. Just something to note in case you have kids who might not be used to room-temperature water showers. We highly recommend Brian's wonderful beach house!

Great location. Very nice facility. Sparkling pool. Friendly staff.

We have our first nights in the bungalow of Steve, which is located in a beautiful and very clean based investment further villas and even a pool spent. We did not miss anything. Steve gave us in Vorfelde wealth of information on shopping, dining and activities, as well as comprehensive directions to the villa. The villa is equipped with everything, very clean and Patrick, who is local contact, was open to any question. Thanks Steve for the beautiful days!

Location is great. Having all amenities great. I would give this place 5 stars if not for the WiFi reception in the room. If that can be fixed it would be perfect. Very cozy for a couple. Would definetly stay again

Great spot, chill, not much to do in the direct area but hang at the beach. Manuel Antonio nature park is close by (by car)

As newbies on airbnb we were not really sure about choosing the villa toucansita because of the rare recommandations but we finally booked and were really impressed when we arrived and regognized the high standard! The villa is located in a private park which is really secure and located a few steps from the beach. You can hear the waves of the ocean. In the middle of the beautiful garden you can find a big swimming pool with outdoor shower and pool chairs. The villa is nicely decorated with little toucan things everywhere and all amenities you need. Thank you again for the nice christmas decoration, toni! In the bedroom you can find a huge doublebed, american style. There is a lot of space in the closets for everyone who stays longer. The bathroom is very clean like everythind else, including hairdryer and a huge shower. The kitchen was really perfect, more than we expected. You can find there everything you need for cooking or making breakfast. In the living room you can find also a table to eat for four people. It's like a wintergarden just for the summer time. The windows are just made of moskito nets so you can enjoy the nature, listen to the ocean, look at the monkeys and birds, without moskito bites. This part of the Villa is locked up seperately so you don't have to worry. We were using the washing maschine and the dryer which worked perfectly. John and toni are the perfect hosts, really kind, welcoming people! We wish that we could have more time to spend with them. Secure parking in the front of the villa, 24/7 wifi at the pool area which is only a few steps away from the villa. We visited the manuel antonio national park from here, a 45 min drive. We only spent 2 nights a the villa and were really sad to drive to our next stop because the villa was THE PERFECT getaway for us and we felt like being at home... We would recommed it to everyone else!

Villa Las Flores is a hidden little treasure tucked in close by black-sandy beaches and just a hop, skip and a jump from the cutest little town called Parrita. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend staying here and we plan to return for another vacation very soon.

The Villa is super nice, comfortable, cozy and good location! The kitchen is fully equipped. very nice green areas, delicious pool and located just a few steps from the beach!

Très belle villa, très bien équipée. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner et il y a tout le nécessaire pour la plage: parasol, serviettes, chaises de plage, etc. La villa est très propre, le site l'est tout autant. Belle piscine aussi. Chambre très confortable. Possibilité de réserver des excursions sur place. Judicieux conseils offerts par Patrick également. Site très très tranquille, parfait pour se reposer après un long itinéraire.

A beautiful place, very comfortable and clean.
