Family Vacation

My husband, I and our 4 kids (3 teenagers and 1 college age) stayed here for a week and loved it! We liked that it is out of the city, we loved being able to go back and forth from the ocean to the pool, and the property is very well maintained!!

Private and perfect beach stay!

This home is perfect for those who want to have a private getaway. Off the beaten path…literally off dirt road, but once there you will have all the amenities in this gorgeous, sprawling home. On the beach with large pool. Lucy & Luis make the stay comfortable and informative. Coconut drinks in the morning, pointing out monkeys and birds on property and making a traditional Costa Rican dinner upon request. Couldn’t be happier with our stay and highly recommend this property!

Great Place to Stay

We really enjoyed staying at this location. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but that is also part of its charm. The house was very clean and comfortable. Luci and Luis are the property's caretakers and they are wonderful. They know just how to be warm and welcoming while still allowing you your privacy. They brought us coconut water and let us know when we could see monkeys at the property.

Great place to unwind

Couldn’t have chosen a better place to unwind. Last part of the road is pretty rough but once you get there, Luis and Lucy take excellent care of you. Very warm caretakers and they are there for every need - which we hardly had. They even treated us to fresh tender coconut water and juicy pineapple slices. We had a nice catered (paid) meal made by Lucy. Beach was great though the kids couldn’t go deep in, due to the scare of riptide signs. They simply loved being in the pool and enjoying the place.

Absolutely amazing stay in paradise!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful beachfront property! We arrived in the evening during a rainstorm so Luis and Lucy, let us settle in until the next morning when they greeting us with fresh cocunuts. I can't speak highly enough about Luis and Lucy. They were outstanding caretakers and truly made our stay one to remember. Lucy cooked a few traditional Costa Rican meals for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. She also let us know when there were monkeys nearby for us to view, one had a baby that was super cute! The beach was wonderful and we saw very few people out there, often times we were the only ones present. If you enjoy being in paradise away from large crowds this is your place! We can't wait to return!

Secluded Beach Vacay

Great experience for a relaxing getaway. Lucy and Louise were truly exceptional caretakers and made it so memorable for us, from coconuts by the pool to their kindness and excursion recommendations. Brisas del Nara horseback tour and rainmaker was great, but Manual Antonio overrated. My fav of all was the Iguana Chocolate tour I would recommend this 100%. The only issue is this house was so remote and secluded it was hard to get to any of the other parts of costa rica or do much else, it’s good to relax but not for adventurers. Thnx for a fun stay!

Lusi and Luis the caretakers were AMAZING! beautiful and comfortable home for six of us, pool was great except for lights & hot tub not running. The restaurant down the road some 15 min was excellent. Sandy gravel road to house is between a 15-20 min ride but then you have a gorgeous view and privacy.

Amazing home and property!

Pictures do not do this property justice. It was stunning. Communication with the owner was great. We arrived to the caretakers greeting us with smiles and coconuts. The home was immaculate. The beach was quiet and the sunset was beautiful. The neighborhood dogs came to visit and my children enjoyed this very much. We were missing our dogs at home. The caretakers of this home made our stay so much better. They were kind and came to get us when a family of monkeys were playing. We fed them fresh fruit and it was an amazing experience. The store is a good drive so I would recommend getting what you need before you arrive. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer! I didn’t want to leave. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay and relax, away from tourists this home is perfect for you.

Beautiful and Secluded Villa on the Pacific

We had an amazing stay at Villa Mar a Lago! Communication with Maria was great. The home is in a picturesque tropical beach setting. The beach is nearly empty all the time, despite there being a very small resort right next door. The villa and casita were immaculately cleaned and had anything you would need for a week's beach vacation. The pool was clean and warm, so much so that it felt like a hot tub in the evenings. We walked the black sand beach for miles during the vacation and it never got old. The property caretakers, Lucy and Luis, were such a major added bonus for this rental! They are amazing people and didn't let the fact that our Spanish is limited, hinder talking with us. They were there for our party whenever we had a question or needed anything. If you are looking for a secluded beach vacation that is off the beaten path with great amenities, then this is the place for you! P.S. We did easy day trips to Jaco, Quepos and Manuel Antonio, so it's not that far off the beaten path.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Fonseca Ureña

Why they chose this property

I recommend our house for your vacation to all the people like to have privacy, nature, peace of mind and get away of stress.
Palo Seco is a beach away from the crowded touristic places, where our guests can enjoy and know the costarican real life and enjoy the beautiful nature.
But for a change also is close enough to Jaco or Manuel Antonion.

What makes this property unique

Direct beach front, 60.000 sqfeet of land, a big pool with 1.650 sqfeet area.
