Vacation rentals in Esterillos Oeste

“Thank you Jessica and Justin! This place blew me away. We took a last minute trip for the long weekend after 40+ days in self-quarantine during the pandemic. The only problem was we didn’t have anyone to look after our cat, but the hosts generously accepted him as a guest along with us. I desperately needed to see the sea and sit outside endlessly, and this place was exactly what we were looking for. The views from the balcony were breathtaking. I loved sitting out there all day, reading and meditating and letting the nature recharge me. I wish I would have been able to stay out there all night, but after sun down the bugs made it unpleasant. As other reviewers commented, the bugs did invite themselves inside at night, despite our best effort to shut the doors before dark and leave off the lights. I found the house super warm in the evening, but that was my fault because I prioritized fresh air over air conditioning at this stay, later to realize without the doors open there is no fresh breeze. There was hot water for the shower (others said there wasn’t) and big, cozy towels to dry off with. I found the plumbing a little wonky, as the water pressure was weak and the bathroom did smell a bit. Overall, those were minor things considering the views, access to town, and access to the beach. Jessica was so communicative and helpful, I was truly impressed with the hospitality. We enjoyed the Britt coffee and chocolates that were left for us so much. Bottom line, if you are looking for an authentic experience with gorgeous views and a relaxing outdoor set up, I highly recommend this place! If you are bothered by bugs or the heat expected from being at the beach, then keep it moving. We, however, will be back!”

“What an amazing place! We had a wonderful 3-night stay with our 5-and 9-year-old kids. The house was clean, comfortable, and nicely stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor spaces were fantastic, especially the pool and deck overlooking the jungle. We even spotted several iguanas and monkeys right in the backyard! Jeni and Brian were also great guides/hosts during our stay (our first time in Costa Rica) providing lots of local suggestions for food and activities, not to mention answering questions about the country and area in general. We really enjoyed the laid back, uncrowded feel of Esterillos Oeste and would definitely come back!”

“We really had a good time at EcoVida! The cabina is equiped with everything you'll need. The beach is in walking distance and there is a beautiful garden with a very well maintained pool! Shannon gave us lots of tips about how to enjoy the area. We really like the ecological aspect of EcoVida and it will make you understand that sustainable tourism is possible.”
