"We have stayed at a lot of VRBO houses and I was skeptical that this one would live up to the amazing pictures - but it did and more! This is a beautiful house on an incredible property. Waking up with a view of the ocean, swimming in the private pool - my husband, kids, and I loved every minute of it. We saw monkeys, toucans, an iguana, tons of lizards, and even a sloth. The owner is very communicative and helpful. We would love to come back some day!"

"Wow, wow and more wow! Casa Bambu is a special, special place, and we were so fortunate to spend 6 magical days there. Peggy was wonderful answering my questions and providing recommendations before we arrived (and yes, get the 4x4 - you need it. I’ve been driving Costa Rican roads for 14 years, and the road up is no joke. But it becomes an incredible part of the adventure!) Jorge and Trina (property managers) were amazing and answered any questions we had. And the HOUSE!! The view is...

"While traveling with my family of 5, this house provided an amazing base for us to explore this beautiful country from. The house is large, flawlessly clean and in good order and situated right on the hillside surrounded by forest. We spotted macaws and toucans from the pool and could hear the howler monkeys in the distance (sometimes maybe not so distant) while enjoying our morning coffee. Natasha was accessible and easy to communicate with when we had questions. The lower level wifi did...

"Convenient walk to beach. Enough parking, though might be crowded if everyone had a car. Room was big enough and fridge worked well. Expected only continental breakfast from listing, but had pineapple, watermelon, then omelet one day, and the others rice/beans, scrambled eggs, plantains. Did not make it for dinner. Brewery next door was good. Pool was clean and refreshing. Not many chairs around it though. The front area was probably nice when it was new."
