Great location and property was well secured.

Loved it all.

It’s was clean, safe and easy to communicate with the owner. They were helpful and attentive. The bakery is also excellent. Got to see sloth up close one morning from the porch and multiple iguanas as well.

The secured gate was really hard for me to get into. You have to push the key all the way in with some muscle behind it. Low water pressure in the shower, definitely needs to be looked at.

Easy to find, excellent location and within walking distance to water and town (5 minutes). The casita had everything needed for a long or short stay. It was immaculately clean, 2 king size beds, one room with television, both rooms with A/C, fan in the living room, kitchen equipped with all needed items to cook and eat, tastefully decorated. Wi-fi and front door parking with secured gated parking. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Quick and easy messaging with host. I would stay there again my next visit and recommend to others.

It was booked for ONE night in the middle of our stay, would have stayed longer.

It fit our lifestyle

The air conditioning was less than ideal. The two wall units, one upstairs and one in the bedroom, make cooling the whole unit to the same temperature impossible. But...definitely better than not having A/C at all!

The location was perfect, right above the bakery. The beach is basically right across the street too. The place was beautiful, clean, and stocked well.

Noisy neighbors (really noisy until really late the night) but that is not , of course related to the property.

Really nice and clean little house. Equiped with everything you need and location can’t be better

It's on the main road and it's very noicy. Woke us several times. There are many windows which cannot be covered and you get light very early.

Clean, well equipped nice beds, good coffee place beneath

Beautiful house

Stayed in December 2024

It was a bit noisy with traffic and wildlife - but hardly complaining as it was the monkeys that made most of the noise. It felt great to be so connected with nature.

Beautiful apartment with perfect location to town and beach. The host was super helpful, especially when I managed to lock myself out and my family were still asleep, they came out to help immediately. The apartment is over a lovely bakery which we enjoyed when we went. Very clean, great air con, facilities were fantastic. Host had excellent recommendations, so make sure to ask.

The word karawala not everyone knows it for direction.maybe if they add the word karawala to bakery it would be much easier to find the place.Other than that the place is fantastic.

I like the location. It is on top of the bakery, which is very convenient to have breakfast in the morning plus the owners gives a 15% off of the breakfast. Moreover, the beach is at a walking distance from the place. Inside is very clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a great time.

The confusion at the beginning and after travelling for a bit patience is a bit low all you want to do is crash

It was a bit confusing at the beginning but once we made contact with the host everything went very smoothly . The staff on location when we arrived didn't have any English and unfortunately we had limited Spanish but one of the girls went to the trouble of contacting a colleague by phone who had perfect English but we had reached the host at this point so all was good.

Nothing to change!

This house was awesome. Clean, everything in working order, cute, great location, secure, and comfortable. 💯 We would stay here again. We loved the vibe of the beach town, it was perfect for our family. We ate at the bakery 3 times!

Stayed in July 2024

The accommodations were excellent. Tom patiently answered any questions I had. I also highly recommend the bakery downstairs. My family and I enjoyed the savory pastries and coffee.

The house was very comfortable and the balcony was great. The host responded to everything we asked for. We would definitely recommended it.

The apartment was on a second floor and made a bit difficult to be with our pets.

It was great the location as restaurants, shops and bars were surrounding the property.

It can be a little loud both because of street traffic and because it’s above the bakery. There were a few tiny issues within the property but nothing huge. The back sliding door wouldn’t shut completely and the shower water heater and water pressure weren’t as good as I’d hoped. The outside locks were tricky.

Everything is within walking distance, including the beach. Both bedrooms were nice. Kitchen had most of what we needed. Appreciated we could arrive in the middle of the night. Balcony was nice. The bakery below is a gem! We appreciated the discount and how friendly and accommodating everyone was.

When we do the reservation,we got very nice pictures of the rental, but when we arrive it was not the same

The place is very nice and easy to go in downtown in Beaches

Only negative for us was the proximity to the main street , which meant quite a lot of noise at night and early morning. Not a deal breaker but sometimes to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper

Large house. Very well kept with everything you might need. Easy to check in / out. Nice balcony. Situated close to the center of the town and on top of a small bakery with very friendly staff.

A very comfy place. Really close to the center of Puerto Viejo. Those who assisted me were extremely friendly and helped me with everything.

It was a bit noisy but we were expecting that given the location.

Loved the location, the unique loft bedroom, and the convenience of being near great restaurants and beaches. The beds are really comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need

The bathroom was too small for a 2 bedroom property and the shower not powerful enough.

Location was very good and the property was very clean and nicely decorated.
