"Agree with most of the previous reviews but would like to add a couple things we did. We had a family of ten 6 adults, 4 teenage kids. Working with Mary Diekers, the rental property manager, we employed a ten person van and driver to pick us up at the airport. Turns out he was also an excellent daily tour guide, setting up and driving us to zip line, ATV, horse back riding, and river cruise activities. His name is Jeffery Guevara, very friendly, speaks fluent English, and was knowledgable on everything Costa Rican. We also selected to have evening chefs cook dinner for us on three occasions. This was especially helpful after returning from a busy day of activities. Highly recommend Chefs Garrett Hurley and his wife. Their food preparation was incredible, much better than any restaurant. We also rented an SUV at the airport as kind of a back up. As stated by others the property is realatively isolated with bummpy dirt roads in and out. "

"Great location off the beaten path. Very friendly staff and food was very good. Lots of options. Only suggestion would be softer pillows."

"We absolutely loved our time here! The property was just perfect! We were first timers to Costa Rica and fell in love with it! Loved having coffee every morning on the porch, then taking a walk on the beach, and enjoying the rest of the day in the pool. The evenings at the recommended restaurants were fabulous. We loved every one of them. They were each unique in their own way. I do recommend renting a car. We were a bit nervous about it, but it was fine. This allowed us to venture out some. We went to Tamarindo, as well as, travelled to the National Park, Rincon de la Vieja. Highly recommend. We are already planning our next visit. "

"We loved our stay at Casa Juliana! It was a beautiful location right by the beach. We loved going there during sunsets and having a drink at the neighborhood beach bar. It wasn't very crowded and the house is off the beaten path. The house was lovely with all the amenities we could want. We had beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and even yeti-type coffee mugs and water containers to use for all of us. Chiara was our house manager during our stay and she was absolutely amazing. Super responsive and was so helpful making suggestions for our stay. She's the best! We are a pretty active family so we did quite a few trips to Tamarindo and the Volcano area. Almost everything was at least 45 minutes away, so we had to account for travel time in making our plans. All in all, we had a fabulous time!"

"We enjoyed our stay immensely. The sound of the waves, the secluded beach, the pool, hermit crabs and the family time were amazing! We loved our time! Please note, the rooms are all separate, it took a few minutes to adjust but then it was completely fine! The kids enjoyed their own little space! Communication with the host was great! Pura Vida! "

"It was a delightful stay! Beautiful and quiet beach! Loved the view and access to the beach.Nice and private. Watched the gorgeous sunset every evening. AC was a plus. The hosts were very considerate and so nice. They came and got garbage and changed our sheets which was so nice. We would definitely rent this place again! Truly a Magical Place"

"We loved everything about our stay at Coco Flotante. You want beach front? This is the place!You want a pool? This is the place?You want quiet but close to restaurants and activities? This is the place!There were 8 of us total, 4 adults and 4 kids (2 families toga travel together). Kids aged 8, 10, 11, and 12. Two master suites downstairs (both sets of parents stayed), one bedroom with a queen, and one bedroom with 2 twins (all 4 kids stayed upstairs). Another sitting area and bar upstairs as well.Outdoor seating area and the pool were our favorites. Large kitchen with everything you need to cook. We cooked most meals. We did eat out a few times. The property caretakers (house next door) were so nice. Never intrusive. We had a flat tire one day on our rental van, and they assisted us with finding the number to call to have someone come fix it. There dog came to visit us daily when we were outside, but never pestered us, and was super friendly. Only things to caution if traveling with older folks or young children, there are steep outside stairs to the upstairs of the house. And, there are steep stairs to the beach. Neither of those bothered us at all!As others have said, the pictures of this property online don’t do this place justice. It’s amazing! If you’re on the fence- make the choice to rent this place- you won’t regret it! "

"Five stars is not enough! Second time staying at this house. Laura the chef is wonderful and we love the privacy the house offers. We will be coming back again and again! Communication with host was very easy and quick. Love everything about this house and location. "

"Great hotel, rooms are very nice and clean, food and breakfasts are really good. Love the pool area. The hosts and the staff are really friendly"
