I have to admit that I'm a bit conflicted about this review. For the right group, and I think that would include either all adults or a family with older children, this is a perfect getaway place. The home appears to have been recently refreshed, with new paint, cabinetry, etc. There's a large open kitchen/living area that isn't air conditioned but has great ventilation when the ocean breeze is blowing (which was nearly all the time during our stay). The four bedrooms are all air-conditioned and have reasonably comfortable, but definitely firm, beds. There are large baths with walk-in showers in each bedroom plus a common pool bathroom with shower. Speaking of the pool, it's small but provided a lot of hours of relaxation and cooling for our group. I'd guess the pool stayed around 80-85 degrees F during our very warm visit -- maybe a few degrees warmer than the ocean. The beach near the house is also pretty mellow, or at least it was during our stay. There were few folks around and the waves and under-tow were minimal.
The home is also very conveniently located -- just a km or so from the main Coco restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. and even closer to a small business area with several very good restaurants and a small store. There are at least 3 grocery stores within a very short drive and they stock everything needed. I'd say pricing is "resort" level, so everything including restaurants and groceries is higher than in other parts of CR.
So why the conflict if it's all so nice? We had a group that included 3 small children, which we mentioned when booking. Many of the features of the house that are kind of "cool" for adults are downright dangerous for small kids. The home is mostly concrete, including floors, countertops, etc. The floors are extremely slippery when wet and there are no floor coverings at all. The heavy concrete island edges are right at head level for little people. There's a beautiful open staircase to the second floor loft and bedroom, but it has insecure railings (too much room between the horizontal slats) on the side facing the room. On the wall side of the stairs there's plenty of room for a child to fall through. Speaking of railings, the same rails are used on the upstairs decks -- again a major child safety issue in my opinion. Simply put, we spent way to much time trying to make sure the kids were safe. We expected that wrt the pool and ocean but not the house.
So its a great adult hang-out.
