Paula, our host, was very sweet and helpful and was easy to communicate with. The area was a bit sketchy and the outside pics were a bit misleading. We did have an issue with sugar ants in the kitchen and the pool was dirty. But location-wise, it was close to the local markets and the beach, which was why we came to Quepos! The rental itself was clean and comfortable.

Casa Amiga was amazing. It is older but still has lots of charm and character.

The pool is amazing, great place to watch for animals. We saw monkeys in the trees across the street and McCaw pairs flying around. Unfortunately no sloths though. It was a perfect temperature to soak in at the end of the day.

The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need for most meals. There is a grill but we couldn’t find briquettes at the Pali in Quepos so opted not to use.

Washer and dryer was nice to have!

Tips: we ate at Emilio’s for breakfast and dinner while we were there and it was amazing, with great views. We also contacted Mary from Mary’s rentals to rent beach chairs and canopy as well as have a reserved spot.

One thing to watch out for…the tile on the patio and in the house is extremely slick when wet. Put the welcome mat on the patio where you step off the pool steps. I found this to be a good idea the hard way!

Overall a great experience!

I cannot recommend casa amiga highly enough.
Fantastic and extremely helpful hosts who were so helpful in organizing tours and offering tips and guidance.

This was truly the best Airbnb experience I have ever had.

Thank you!

Our stay at Casa Amiga was GREAT! From our first communication with Paula to the day we left she was responsive, friendly, happily made our excursion arrangements and gave us great tips for what we wanted to do. The home was well stocked with everything we needed and we appreciated having the garage and washer and dryer. The pool was a perfect way to cool off after a long day out and we were greeted by many birds, iguanas and saw a sloth our first night there across from the house! The AC worked great and cooled the house down quickly. We found that the room without AC wasn't cool enough to sleep in after being gone all day (we visited mid-July), so we used the room for luggage storage. We had a couple of instances where the sugar ants came to visit, even after ensuring all food was in the fridge, but they were easily delt with by using the spray provided. We appreciate such a lovely private home to relax in after enjoying beautiful Costa Rica!
