Erleben Sie Costa Rica Living! Schöner Pool am Meer!

Caregiver Filipi is wonderful - he was there to help any time we needed him. Shower heads broke in two showers and we called him and he was there within 10 minutes and had his maintenance man replace the shower heads. I was upset that there were no beach chairs. I had a conversation with the owner before we went and she assured me there were beach chairs. They were all broken. I text her and offered to buy some and let her reimburse me, I was told it would be taken care of, it wasn't. We have rented beach houses for the last 18 years and never had one without beach chairs. You can't even go down and sit on the beach, who does that.

Everyone was helpful and friendly.

Beautiful Setting!

The entire way back to the airport we talked about how much we wanted to come back to Casa Los Pelicanos! From the pool to the spacious rooms to being just a couple palm trees from the beach, the house far exceeded our expectations. Felipe and Felicia were so incredibly nice and helpful for us during our stay. David and Nancy are also some of the best owners I have come into contact with in my travels.

Esterillas Oeste is a great little town, you're walking distance to the market and to multiple little restaurants, and you will really feel immersed into the Costa Rican culture while being very close to big tourist areas.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a private-feeling vacation home while still being close to anything you could possibly need.

We had a wonderful vacation at this property! It's close to the beach and hidden away in a sweet small town neighborhood. The pool added to the fun as we were in it much more then the ocean. We vacationed with our adult son and his girlfriend so the bedroom situation with private baths was ideal. We used the middle room for watching TV and relaxation.

Went on Monkey tour - which was fantastic - but bring CASH & ask for Crazy Alex - you are NOT guaranteed to see monkeys! . The kitchen set up was more primitive then realized. The stove top was only cooking option as we could never get the oven to work. Had to wear a head lamp to prepare food at night as the lighting is limited.

The biggest reason this property did not get 5 stars from us was because there really is no option for outdoor furniture to lounge in. The table and chairs are not practical. The folding chairs were broken and we were told we could buy more. The wood bench on the porch is not comfy.

But, every day was an adventure with iguanas crossing the yard, horses on the beach, bird song and sightings everywhere and the plants on the property were spectacular. The restaurant options in town are wonderful. Found vegan options at the one in town across from Felipe's pizza restaurant.

There is a rooster who crows every morning at 4AM - and because of the way the bedrooms have open ventilation you can hear it. But, they stop within the hour and we always fell back to sleep. Waking up each day to the pool and tea in the quaint kitchen was fun and a great way to start the day.

Only a bar of soap is provided so be sure to bring all your own amenities. Also, no spices beyond salt and pepper offered. Local store offers marginal options, we had better luck at the Maxi Poli in Parrita (just 20 min down the road).

Felicia is available and was quick to help us with directions and looking at excursions. We felt taken care of.

The afternoons are quite hot and humid and we could not keep the master bedroom cooled down. We used the middle room for afternoon reprieve from the sun as it did stay much cooler. No where to hang clothes in units. Be prepared to work from a small dresser - but it turned out we didn't wear half of the clothes we brought as swimsuits were the outfit of the day. No dryer, everything is hang dried - which was kind of fun!

Bring a flashlight for walking on beach at night. Crabs everywhere. But you can walk the beach for ever!

We had to find a place to stay at the last minute and we were so lucky this beautiful home was available. There weren't a lot of people on the beach so it felt private. The homeowners were extremely friendly and easy to work with and the caretakers of the property were close by and wonderful! Can't wait to come back!
