About this property

Lovely Apartment Close to the Beach in Esterillos Centro

This place is special for the people who like nature. Less than 2 minutes from the beach, you will fall in love with the fascinating scenery sunset, you can walk on the beach for miles and often you are the only people on the beach, great for sunbathing, swimming and surfing. The colors during the sunrise or sunset are quite stunning at times.

You can enjoy the tranquility to relax at the sounds of tropical birds and waves or just sitting out on the terrace where one could observe lush pastures on which cows are grazing peacefully.

At the same time you can discover the beautiful paradise named Costa Rica and enjoy many different activities from a single centralized point as our comfortable nest. There are national parks and others places of interest both north and south of the villa that one can get quite easily and within the hour. Your host is inviting and friendly and helpful to do any tour in the area.

The apartment is completely equipped independent with private bath and hot water.

Not the place for me.
Hi and good day, It was my own fault that I booked a fairly cheap accommodation. Claudette is a lovely person, but it was just not my kind of place, but it was clean.. But, I dont like ants in my bedroom. The Electricity kept going off because they repaired something at the main mast. It was of course too hot without A/C. So this was not her fault. The pool and garden is beautiful, and Claudette is very helpful. She would need to invest into some Renovations! I stayed for 3 nights, then I moved out. Of course I did not get a refund. I am sorry that I cannot give you a better Review.

Wonderful Onsite Manager
The apartment was exactly as listed and perfect for my wife and me. The onsite managers were extremely helpful. Michel picked us up from the nearest transport dropoff and made a special trip to take us to the grocery store. When we were leaving the grandson of one of the managers drove us to our next lodging about 5 miles away as no taxis were available. This apartment is very close to a long beach and the onsite pool is perfect for cooling your heels in the CR heat. One note for prospective renters, you should have a rental car if you're going to stay longer than a few days. The onsite managers are very helpful but carting us tourists around really isn't their responsibility.

Get Away to Costa Rica
We had a wonderful time at Villa Claudia! Claudette has a lovely property--the gardens and pool are impeccable with butterflies and most daily viewings of Scarlett Macaws--delightful!! Claudette is very helpful and responsive to questions, needs, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed the "small village" atmosphere, encountered no issues and found the local residents friendly. An added bonus was meeting so many nice people from around the world who stayed at the other casita attached to Villa Claudia. The location is ideal for day trips traveling to the north/south/east (to go west you would be right in the Pacific!) with Jaco and Parritta just down the road. If you like beach front warmth without overcrowding, you are looking at the right place! Thank you for a memorable stay! We miss you, Claudette, and pets to the kitty-cats and our favorite toads :-)

Beautiful villa!
We stayed at Villa Claudia for 4 nights and had a great time. The villa itself is so beautiful and clean - Claudette takes such good care of it! Out suite was so nice and clean - better than I expected. It had everything you need - fully stocked kitchen, AC, TV, safe etc. Very nice landscaping and courtyard with a pool and grilling areas - not big, but so cozy and relaxing. I kept thinking "I want my backyard to look like this". Villa is a short walk to a beautiful secluded beach (our first day it was just us and another group of people surfing). Ask Claudette for boogie boards and catch some waves (we don't surf). Claudette was a wonderful host - gave us recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. The location is right off main road, convenient to go to Jaco and to Manuel Antonio. The only negative that I saw is safety - it seems like there are some questionable people living nearby, hence the metal bars on all windows and doors, as well as fence going all around the property. You just need to make sure to lock your car/suite and not leave anything in the open. Overall it was a lovely place and I would stay here again.
