Parrita – Orlofshús/-íbúðir

Rebecca Bretland

Well-equipped cottage with outdoor space for the kids to play. Loved the two hammocks! Loads to do in the area. Down the road is a restaurant with a pool, including kids' pool, plus slides. Maxi Palí supermarket, pharmacy etc few minutes' drive away. Loads of beaches around. Bejuco Beach is a ten-minute drive away. It has deeper pockets of pools along the shore which I loved. Also loved Jaco Beach area for shops and restaurants. Not to be missed: Manuel Antonio National Park. You definitely need a guide - advance booking essential. Lots of wildlife there, including sloths. Also strongly recommend Rainmaker Park. You can swim in the waterfalls and rivers there! Definitely recommend Casa Cariad. Hosts were really helpful and quick to get back to me when I had questions.

Here's a list of the great things about this house: -The owner is exceptional! He communicated with us 2 weeks before our arrival and answered all our questions. This was our first trip to CR, and he gave us so many great tips. He gave us recommendations for where to stop for lunch along the road to the property from San Jose to where to shop for groceries. He was also very flexible in coordinating payment. -Gilberto is the property manager and he was extremely attentive. He met us at the house within a minute of our arrival and he was always available any time we needed anything. In fact, we needed an extra blanket for one of the beds and Gilberto showed up with a new comforter within an hour. We have had room service at hotels take longer! We felt like with Gilberto, we had a concierge. -The house is set back from the main road and very private. It has tall hedges that surround it and a gated driveway for added security. At night, the porch has retractable doors that can be closed. CR is safe, but we appreciated the sense of safety of being in a house that had added security features. -The town of Parrita has everything that you need, but it is not touristy. It has multiple grocery stores and convenience markets, and it is halfway between Quepos and Jaco. Plus the Playa Bandera is only a five minute drive from the house and it is a gorgeous and almost deserted beach. If you want just a beach vacation, you can stay at Hotel Villa Elenita and never leave the town of Parrita. -The kitchen appliances are new and top notch. Everything was clean and operated without any problems. -The bathroom is huge, clean, has great hot water, and the water pressure is good. -The bedrooms are big with plenty of storage space, and the beds and pillows are amazing. Everyone in our family slept like babies at Hotel Villa Elenita. We felt like the beds at this vacation house were more comfortable than ours back home!

From the time of reservation communication was exemplary and we were provided with a lot of information about the area and things to visit. We found Mary to be a great host, welcoming, informative and always making sure we had what we needed, while respecting our privacy. We had everything we needed in our room and the adjacent outside area for cooking and relaxing. There is a little dipping pool, perfect for cooling off throughout the day. The beach on the other side of the road is lovely, a perfect place to have a coffee in the morning.

Nice clean, thoughtfully furnished apartment. The balcony has an amazing view: great for appreciating the sunset, or sighting birds in the nearby trees. We had 4 macaws fly overhead one morning. There is easy beach access and the pools looked appealing. Lovely.

The host allowed us to drop off our luggage early and retrieve it after check out which allowed us to visit attractions without a carful of baggage. Host was easy to communicate with, and the property was very comfortable and clean. Worked out perfectly for our visit to the Manuel Antonio area.

Very beautiful location. For me, a cottage by the beach, like from romantic movie.❤️❤️❤️

Beachfront location was fabulous. Loved having outdoor showers, seeing monkeys and macaws on the property. I stayed there with prior owner and Sylvia's improvements are noticeable with great WiFi. Powerful running water and lovely decor. New furniture and friendly staff. You can see how much work and investment has gone into making this the best place to stay in Palo Seco! Hoping to go back soon.
