Perfect dream vacation for all!
The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day! All reviews say Ana will help with excursions upon arrival (which made us - typical over planners a bit nervous), but within our first hour Ana helped us set up everything we were hoping to do and more! I would strongly recommend this home to anyone looking for a dream vacation! We will be back! Thank you Wendy, Ana and Freddy!

Beautiful setting and delicious food!
There are a few things travelers should know that are not specified in the listing. This is not a typical VRBO. The listing refers to Ana and Freddy as caretakers. In reality, they are constantly present. They live in the lower level of the house. In addition, we were scolded for having friends visit us at the house. We were told it was rude and we needed to ask for permission. Also, travelers are expected to tip 5 to 15 percent on the accommodation.

Hillside Paradise
This property was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The pictures are accurate but the sunset in person is truly amazing. A 4 wheel drive is a must for this area in general if you want to venture out and about. We enjoyed every minute poolside. Meals were delicious and prepared with love. Know that meal time is set and not flexible. The common areas of this home are not air conditioned so your only retreat from the heat is the pool or your bedroom (we were instructed to turn our air off when not in our room). I understand conservation but at the same time we paid for this house and we were on vacation. This rule was tough on the older people in our group that needed a reprieve from the heat without having to wait for a room to cool down. We were greeted each morning by the sounds of howler monkeys, got to see one mama and baby from the pool on our last day.

Outstanding vacation spot!
10 stars! So many positives! The views from the house are beyond beautiful. The house is very clean and well maintained and in a very safe location. Ana and Freddy are helpful, kind and very good cooks. Ana helped make all local arrangements and recommendations for our family (3 adults 2 kids ages 8 and 10) which were great. The only downside (which we expected so we weren't too surprised) was the power went out 3 different days....one day it was out 5 hours. Overall such a beautiful experience. You won't want to miss this vacation spot!

It is as good as the listing looks
Casa de la Loma is as good as it looks in the listing. The house is on a hill perhaps 200 feet above the Pacific. The coast is rocky just below the house, and the sound of the waves against the rocks is constant and calming. The view is pretty awesome. Playa Carillio is perhaps 10 minutes away and is a beautiful, undeveloped, crescent-shaped beach about 1-1/2 miles long. The house is wonderful with an open plan which opens out onto the pool and patios. We spent some quality time hanging out there. As great as all that is, the best thing about the house is Anna and Freddy. They truly do go out of their way to make everything perfect. Anna made a big breakfast every morning and an excellent dinner each evening. I think she fattened us all up a bit. For any activities you want to do, just ask Anna. She knows everyone in the area and everyone seems to know her. She booked several activities for us finding better options than we could find for ourselves. For example, the private boat tour she booked for us was only slightly more expensive than a group tour, but the seven of us had the boat and the guide all to ourselves. The group of 25 or so getting on the group tour boat looked at us with envy. Tell her what you are interested in and she will be on her phone hooking you up with the right person in minutes. I could go on about the area and the wonderful people of Costa Rica, but I'll just sum it up by saying that you will not regret a stay here.

Wow - the views
To start, Wendy was a true host and helped us with planning in advance. Communication was excellent. Upon arrival, Anna & Freddie greeted us and were wonderful hosts throughout. The house was amazing. The views, the pool, the beds, the showers. The proximity to Playa Carillo and Playa Samara was ideal. We loved the town of Samara, which seemed to retain the charm of a local town but had everything we wanted or needed. We had two families of four with four adults and four teenagers. Everyone loved it. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinners at home prepared by Anna. Anna was very helpful to us with making calls, setting up excursions, etc. Our favorite part of the day was sitting outside in the morning having coffee. As advertised, a 4WD is an absolute requirement. The only place you will need it is getting up the hill to the driveway but you will need it. If we ever return to the area it would be hard to imagine staying anywhere else!

Amazing!
From making the reservation to communicating with Wendy to meeting Ana and Freddy we had an excellent experience. Originally scheduled for 2021 Wendy was very understanding for our need to reschedule to 2022 and then to 2023 - IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! When we arrived on Saturday and walked in the front door our 3 generation family of 10 had to pick our jaws off the floor as we took in the breathtaking view over the pool to the Pacific ocean. We explored the house and pool and we were not disappointed. Ana and Freddy helped to accommodate every need as we settled in and they delighted us with a delicious Grilled Steak and Shrimp dinner - YUM! Ana and Freddy take a well deserved Sunday off but had supplied plenty of food to make our own Sunday breakfast and we ate in town Sunday evening. After going over the menu on Monday we went shopping to pick up some of the groceries and Ana took care of arrangements for most of the meat. Each meal was prepared with skill, pride and care and we were so grateful and felt so pampered. Most days we hung out in the spacious gazebo, played card games and played or lounged in the pool. Wendy, thank you for your understanding as our 40th wedding anniversary celebration turned into our 41st and finally to our 42nd. Ana and Freddy, thank you for making us feel welcome, pampering us with your great cooking and care for the facility and making us feel like family. This stay certainly exceeded our expectations and we hope to return again and again.
