Great beach vacation!
This was our second time staying at MaryArte. The house is located right on Playa San Miguel, which is a beautiful natural beach (we even saw a sea turtle this time). The house is spacious and clean. Lots of shade and places to relax including the pool area. We love the outdoor kitchen which is well equipped. The host is welcoming and easy to reach. Thank you again for a lovely stay, we can't wait for next year!

Amazing Location
4 adults stayed for 15 days and loved the location....quiet beach, amazing sunsets, private pool! Last hour of drive to get there is very rough so didn’t do as much exploring of other areas as would've like too but still saw lots of local areas and enjoyed local restaurants that had excellent food! Dominga the lady across the road made some delicious meals and we had aother local couple "Stuart Little" the ceiviche guy come to the house and prepare us an amazing lobster pasta meal with ceiviche appy. Pizza Tree pizza is actually one of the best pizzas I have ever had and Restaurante San Miguel had the best sesfood platter and dessets were exquisite! Yes i am a foody and was very hsppy with all thd local choices! Even Rio's in nearby San Francisco de Coyote was great! We were pleasantly surprised to have daily housekeeping services and also daily yard and pool maintenance during our stay. Johanna and her husband Danilo are very hard workers and very friendly. The property manager Roxana was very attentive and quick to respond to snh questions or requests abd even treated us to a meal by Dominga one night. We would definitely rent again.

I wanted something that would be more quiet and remote. This home was perfect. Very peaceful/not crowded beach. We loved spending most of our time outside in the gathering area or on the beach. The town of Coyote is 20 minutes away. Not a big town, but you can get essentials for sure and a few really great restaurants. I would stay here and spend more time in a heartbeat. The housekeeper (Anna) was so helpful and lovely! We miss it and will be back!

Best House on the Beach
From the minute we arrived, we were impressed with the house, the layout, the location, the beach, etc. It was a dream come true for a group of family and friends. Ocean views from 3 out of 4 air conditioned rooms. A huge outdoor hangout area with literally every appliance and utensil you can imagine. Adorable pool, especially for kids. Multiple hang out areas. More fridge and freezer space than you could ever need. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable stay. Sure, the house has an older more traditional feel, but modern wasn't a priority for us. The house is closer to the beach than any other house we saw along the beach, with greener grass than any other yard, with more swings and hammocks. The wifi worked perfectly which is a bonus in costa rica. The stove and barbecue are very large and provide ample cooking space. The staff that take care of the property were lovely. Our weekend was epic to say the least. Thank you!

Our stay was amazing from beginning to end. The property is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor "kitchen / eating / hanging out" pavilion area was perfect, allowing us to spend all our time outdoors. The beach is beautiful and very secluded. The waves were a blast to play in. We found all the groceries we needed just 15 minutes away. The caretakers were kind and accommodating. Communication with Roxana was easy. She responded immediately to any questions we had. Would recommend to all! Plan to go back!

Absolutely perfect!
So many good things to say about this property. Roxana was an exceptional host! She was so helpful, accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was attended to. She even arranged a surprise birthday cake for my husband! The caretaking staff was so lovely, and we had the privilege of enjoying a meal provided by Dominga, the sweet lady across the road. The property is quiet and spacious. Hardly anyone to share the lovely beach with and enjoy the stunning sunsets. The beach is right there and it’s so nice to listen to the waves as you fall asleep. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you might need - boogie boards, beach chairs, games, books, a fully stocked kitchen, hammocks, etc. The only consideration is that the location is very remote. There are other vacation homes near you, some restaurants/bars, and local activities to do, but it is definitely a trek to nearby towns. Although they are close by distance-wise, the drive is long due to the rutted dirt roads. Definitely come with a full tank of gas, colones and USD as there are no banks nearby and most services require cash payment.

Secluded Beachfront Property
We loved our stay at this property as it is situated right on a beautiful, remote, and secluded beach. There are two Bejuco areas in Costa Rica and the house is located in Playa San Miguel, not Bejuco (in Guanacaste not Puntarenas). We were driving from Liberia and the last 1.5 hours or so to get there were quite bumpy and slow through winding unpaved hills and roads. Because of the pandemic, we were looking for spots that were less touristy and crowded, but the area was much more rural than we had expected. There is not really anything within a 20-25 min driving radius and the restaurants and markets are limited. There are no touristy shops that we saw. However, being on the beach and having the little swimming pool for the kids were all we needed. We were there in July and it was hot and humid! The rooms were stifling so we were mostly only inside to sleep and change clothes etc. The rooms had a ceiling fan and one standing fan, but there usually wasn't much airflow. I think having a second fan in the room may have been helpful. It might not bother some people as much - we did acclimate after the first night and some days were cooler because of rain. We had to really just appreciate where we were. The beach is beautiful and we hardly saw any people. The tides and pull are strong but you could go out waist deep and enjoy the waves and body board. My mom still misses her walks up and down the beach searching for crabs, clams, and sea snails. The house had everything we needed to cook in the open air kitchen. There were a lot of mosquitos but that is expected. Maria is lovely and provides daily housekeeping, and the owner Roxanna was wonderful and helpful. She asked one of the local restaurants to deliver food for us after some miscommunication. I would recommend this property if you want to be able to walk out on to a beach that feels private for a true Costa Rican experience!

Beautiful location and surrounding area with great people
We had a great time. The location and outside patio area is just feet from the sand and wonderful. All contact with Roxanne the Manager/Owner was easy. Although it felt like this area was remote with very little tourism (a good thing for us), there was a surprising number of great dining options very close by. Restaurant San Miquel is only 5 minutes away and very special. We were not able to have Dominga cook for us because she was taking a break, but hopefully next time. We saw nesting turtles right in front of the house. The surf was really pounding with a strong swell and only for experienced surfers. Perhaps with a smaller swell, the waves would be more suitable for beginner/intermediate surfers. We would definitely come back to this house. This is a great place for those who want to chill out in a quiet atmosphere and prefer a less touristy environment.

This was absolutely perfect for our family of 12 (ages 60-4) for 5 days. Maria, Dominga and Alex were so hospitable and helpful. We purposefully didn’t rent a vehicle but still managed to have dinner 3 nights out. We walked and got rides. We kayaked through an estuary & explored a butterfly farm. These excursions were no more than 2,5km from the house. The exploring along the beach led us to some caves with so much marine life, just check the tide schedule first! Do yourself a favor: stop looking and rent this location!!

Relax-Rejuvenate- Revitalize
There are not enough words to describe how amazing this place is. We travelled with 12 people in our family and the house was perfect for us... so many different, wonderful things to do right out the front. Lots of stuff to do in the surrounding area from dolphin watching, fishing, etc. Mama turtles were right out on the beach nesting- such a magical experience. It was so relaxing to hang out on the patio, nap in the hammocks and cool off in the pool. The beach was perfect... and felt almost private- the stars and the sunsets took our breath away. It was absolutely the best vacation and it filled our souls with joy and peace to start our new year. Roxanne and Dixie went above and beyond helping us answer questions, get excursions booked and meals arranged. They answered quickly and guided us all the way through the trip. Once in Costa Rica the staff helping out at the house were so fabulous- Erick, Alexis and Sandra took very good care of us- immediate help when needed, planning trips and even helped fishing from the shore. Hope one day we will reconnect! Rancho Loma Clara (from Coyote) brought us AMAZING meals for breakfast and dinner- always on time and very flexible when things came up or we wanted to adjust the menu. Dixie helped book the dolphin trip and fishing with Felix out of Punta Islita - our guide for both trips Baron was so friendly. We spent two weeks in this little slice of paradise, we just got home and I want to go back- It will now be my happy place my mind goes to when things get stressful. Thank you so much for sharing this home and being so gracious and helpful.

Playa San Miguel is a remote and beautiful spot. The home was great- a bit on the rustic side but wonderful. Maria and the owners were fantastic- anything we needed they took care of right away. Locos Cocos (about 5 houses away) has fantastic food- we ate there about 10 times in the 2 weeks we were there. The roads are a bit rough from Jicaral to Playa San Miguel but the house and the view are worth the drive!

We had a great time, the house was able to accommodate 16 of us, ranging from 82 to 2 yrs old. Each room can host 4 people. We enjoyed our outside kitchen, the hammocks and the beautiful sunsets. We loved the area, it could be challenging to get there, but when you are there it’s just beautiful and so relaxing. We couldn’t coordinate our meals, but there is a basic market and butcher close by. We also had a great fish from the area. Would be back again

Amazing!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay @ Casa Chef Rodolfo. Our stay was for 9 days. We checked in on December 14 at around 530pm and Maria was waiting for us and graciously showed us the the ins and outs of the house and rancho. Maria provided great daily house service, along with Alexis, who managed the property and offered any assistance we needed. We had an issue with the coffee pot and Alexis immediately took care of it and then later that day brought us a new coffee pot. The house and rancho was amazing and right on the beach/ocean. We adventured just a couple of days, so the majority of our time was spent on our beach and at the house/rancho. The kids surfed and played in the ocean and when they were not in the ocean, they were playing in the pool. The rancho had great views of the beach and ocean, so when we weren't in the water we could be watching it. The house bedrooms were great and very comfortable. The open air feel of the rooms let us hear the waves crashing and feel the nice breezes coming off of the ocean. A couple nights we made a bonfire and watched the night sky. Our experience and memories made was awesome and will be hard to top for years to come. Thank you!

Perfect Family Getaway
We traveled to Playa San Miguel over New Years 2017/2018 with 6 adults and 5 kids, ages 6-15. Roxana was great to work with in advance of the trip and arranged meals, surf board rentals and provided directions. The house was absolutely perfect for our group. Nothing fancy but plenty of beds and a bathroom for each bedroom. Other than sleeping, we spent very little time in the house. All our time was spent in the amazing covered outdoor living area - kitchen, several seating areas, hammocks, and a small pool. Right out in front of the house is the most beautiful, flat, long beach with perfect beginner surf waves. We spent hours in the ocean every day - the temperature was ideal! Beware of the rip tide - it can pull you out quickly, but nothing to worry about if you are paying attention! We enjoyed beers and lunch down the beach at Locos Cocos (not quick, but worth the wait!) and frequented Pizza Tree (just a 5 minute drive). We also had an amazing dinner at Hotel Laguna Mar (next to Pizza Tree) and a nice evening at El Barco (Playa Coyote, 15 minute drive). There are two supermarkets in San Francisco de Coyote (20 minute drive) that we found to be better stocked than the large store we stopped at in Santa Cruz. There's also a great restaurant there called Rio's and a nice little coffee shop. Roxana arranged a few meals to be served at the house, which was perfect. The food was great, arrived right on schedule, and served in the most beautiful setting! We had a few questions for Roxana during our visit and she was always prompt to address them. We took a day trip to Samara (for ziplining) and spent at morning at Mike's Butterfly Jungle Farm (and learned SO much from him). Besides that, we just enjoyed our days at the beach! We enjoyed an amazing fireworks display on New Years Eve, got to see a turtle laying eggs, and built a beach bonfire on our last night! So memorable! We flew into Liberia and would recommend driving to Playa San Miguel through Samara (Road 150 from Nicoya) - seemed to be faster and less dirt roads. We took the other way on the way there and had to drive through several (mostly dry) river beds. All in all it was a fantastic trip and we'd definitely go back!
