We enjoyed our stay. If you like privacy and quiet relaxation, surrounded by birds, parrots, monkeys, this is your place! The beach is awesome, the caretaker and his wife are very nice! Nice bedrooms with a/c, a must at this time of the year. You do need a 4-wheel drive to get there.

This is an exceptional property. In my many years of travel, I have never experienced anything like this beachfront home. If you want to get away from it all, and by all I mean ANYONE, this is your place. You have your own house, your own beach, your own ocean, etc.. Total privacy, and PEACE! Now to the caveats. The road from the nearest town needs a 4WD. The home is beautifully designed, but is a little careworn in places. There are bugs, nothing serious. There are tropical birds, lizards, beautiful flowers etc. I loved the place, as did my family. Be aware that the A/C is only in the bedrooms, but they kept the central living space tolerable. In summary, a bargain in paradise.

We can’t say enough about our ten day escape to Sand Dollar Cove. The photos do not capture the true beauty of this beach paradise. We were so well taken care of by our neighbours the caretakers and we learned tons of Spanish too! Elizabeth was a true premier host, so responsive and helpful. We lost water for a day due to a roadwork issue, and Elizabeth treated us to an amazing dinner out as a gesture of support. Be sure to rent a vehicle that can handle rough gravel roads. We recommend when leaving the coast at Samara to drive the 901 to La Soledad, turn right at the church and follow the entirely paved and smooth road to Pueblo Nuevo. It is a much nicer drive and about the same time wise. If you want true peace in nature with a beautiful spacious (and air conditioned) home, you have to go to Sand Dollar Cove!

Amazing location!

I never wanted to leave! With the beautiful yard, the beach, the tide pools and Cheyo and his wonderful dogs, Sand Dollar Cove was heavenly! We wanted to stay somewhere away from the crowds where we could relax and enjoy the outdoors, and we did! The birds and howler monkeys were plentiful. Elizabeth and Jim were excellent hosts and quick to answer my questions. I’m already scheming to go back. Thank you so much, Elizabeth and Jim, for sharing your magical place.

Beautiful private location with a swimmable beach about 50 meters away. Charming rustic cottage. Rooms are not connected, and only the small downstairs bedroom has AC. We loved the peaceful simplicity.

Magical unicorn -

I CANT explain how magical this place is. My family of 5 were very excited to stay here. It is truly paradise. Horses came to the house and we rode them on the beach. Cheyo made us the biggest bonfire we have ever seen. He and his wife are so kind and amazing. We will be back.

Paradise. Home Away from Home.

Paradise. I love it here! If you are looking for an isolated experience that feels like home with breathtaking ocean views and non-stop bird watching...this is it. Leave your white noise machine at home, climb into one of the hammocks and let the waves sing you to sleep. The beds are comfortable, I loved lounging on the porch and being steps away from the ocean all made me very happy. Sand Dollar Cove feels like home away from home. I can't wait to visit again.

Location, Location, Location what a Gem

The stay here was great, lots of beach walks with the house also very well stocked, wished we had a pack and play for our grandson but made it work. The AC in each room gave you great sleeping temps. All the beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards were a great option. Spent most of our time on the beach at the tidal pools, in the water or on the nice shaded deck overlooking the water. Easy to walk to a nice to a place to grab a snack and beverage, Loco Cocos and the Pizza Tree was a fun experience as well. If you are looking for quiet and solitude this is the place.

An absolute gem

We spent 5 days at Sand Dollar Cove with three generations of family and had an absolutely perfect trip. The beach is truly spectacular - beautiful, clean, with warm gentle water, and almost no one else in sight. Inside the house is clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was a nice reprieve from the hot weather, but the breeze off the ocean made even outdoors pleasant even in high temperatures. The caretaker, Cheyo, was very friendly and responsive the few times we needed help with something. We really couldn't have asked for a better trip. It's off the beaten path but 100% worth it.

Wonderful Vacation!!!

This vacation home is perfect for the one who wants a Costa Rican experience, not a canned resort experience. Cheyo, the caretaker is a delight to talk to and maintains the home and grounds as if it were his own. Elizabeth the host is easy to work with. The home is beautiful and you couldn't ask for a more perfect private beach. The waves were perfect for boogie boarding. The only thing that concerned us was the drive to the property, however after making it there we realized it wasn't as long as it seemed, however, very very rough dirt roads. So just be aware, but don't let that stop you. The bedrooms are spacious and everything is very comfortable. Thank you Elizabeth, Jim and Cheyo!

Little piece of heaven

This is our second time here and we are looking to book next year. The house and location are perfect if you want to experience Costa Rica without a bunch of tourists. Cheyo and Soleil are lovely and Elizabeth responds quickly to any issues. This location is so special. The beach is beautiful the house is beautiful. There are several restraints if you want to eat out that you can walk the beach to or a short drive. We like to cook and Cheyo can get you fresh fish right out of the ocean to make cerviche or grill. There are stores 15 min drive away for anything you need. Just heaven! Thanks you Elizabeth for another lovely stay!!!

I almost hate to tell how perfect it is

This is our third time coming to Sand Dollar Cove. It may be my favorite place on earth. Playa San Miguel is a beautiful beach that goes on forever. The people are friendly the seafood is amazing and the house is perfect! I almost hate to review so it gets popular. The house is airconditioned in the bedrooms and right on your own private part of the beach in a cove with an estuary. The back patio is perfect to sit see and hear the ocean and be cooled by ocean breezes. The wifi is really good. the beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Cheyo the caretaker can get you fresh fish. We watched the Super Bowl at Hotel Laguna Mar with a bunch of Americans, the seafood soup and ribs there were great! We went to the jungle butterfly farm, I recommend going there early in your trip because Mike's bug spray is the best! Elizabeth thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us! It is truly a remarkable place.

Remote Paradise

It was all we hoped it was going to be and more! Great private house on a secluded beach with mostly crabs for company. Optionally, you can also enjoy the caretaker's two dogs and a kitten - if you pay them attention (we did), they will return it in droves! Expect mostly outdoor living, so bring bug spray, books and not much else. House is well equipped with all you need, including beach towels, chairs, toys, etc. Rent a high clearance 4X4 car as the roads are not paved, have giant craters, and they forgot to put bridges over several rivers. Bring food - the nearest "store" is 15 mins away and you will not want to drive there if it's dark and/or raining. Go to Restaurant San Miguel at least once - it's some of the best food we ever had, and we're foodies from London & NYC. Plus, they will change your tire if (when!) you get a flat.

Location, Location, Location!!

The descripition "Beach Front Paradise" is accurate. Very private and beautiful but it is sure "off the beaten path". It was a mistake on our part in driving there from the airport in the dark. The first part of the drive on Rt 150 was a decent roadway but the trip from Samara along Rt 160 was a nightmare. This road is so rough I felt like milkshake. There are so many twists and turns that I just kept praying. When talking to the locals, they all said they do not travel that road at night. Waking up the next morning made the trip all worth while. The house and the beach are wonderfull and we met Rufino, the caretakers "brother" who was a great guide to the area. We went fishing with the Samara Deep Sea charter and had a GREAT day on the water. We caught so much grouper and mahi that we had enough for lunch and dinner all week. We had dinner one night (for my Birthday) at Restaurant San Miguel and were extremely pleased with everything.

Once in a lifetime retreat

OMG, this place was fabulous! Always wanted to stay in a beachfront villa on the ocean and it didn't disappoint. The villa description is accurate. You can fall asleep to the ocean waves, walk on the beach for miles with only a few people and the seabirds to keep you company. The gardens are taken care of by Cheyo who also makes the most incredible ceviche. There are avocado, orange, lime, and mango trees on the property. The bedrooms are large with air conditioning and the bathrooms have several soft towels as well as beach towels for you to use. The kitchen is fully stocked with any items you may need for cooking, but there are several incredible restaurants within close driving distance. Highly recommend making reservations at San Miguel Restaurante, probably one of the best places I have ever eaten. Elizabeth was very responsive and a wonderful host. Her directions to the villa were spot on but as she recommended a 4x4 is necessary. Costa Rica secondary roads are an experience not to be missed but addressed with a sense of humor as you bump along on the gravel roads.You will never experience a beach front delight like this anywhere. The Pacific ocean with an almost deserted beach makes this a treasure. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your home with us.

Paradise

We had the most amazing stay here. This really is a piece of paradise. The beach was glorious with the jungle as a backdrop. You can walk along the beach for miles. The waves are perfect for body boarding,- there are some at the property which is great, surfing (you can hire some locally) or just swimming. We hardly saw anybody. We had 2 full days of very heavy rain but the porch is a great place to sit and relax. There is over an hour of dirt road to get to the property but that only increases it’s charm. We did have to drive through 3 rivulets so I would definitely recommend a 4x4. We went on a boat trip further up the coast and saw whales, dolphins and turtles- absolutely incredible! Cheyo and his wife are lovely, very friendly and very willing to impart knowledge and show you things. They don’t speak English but Google translate works well. Views from the main 2 bedrooms are magnificent! The air conditioning in the rooms works very well and really helps. The outside shower is great after swimming in the sea. I would definitely recommend filling up with petrol and doing a grocery shop before arriving. We have 3 children- 18, 15 and 11 and they all loved it here. If you like peace and tranquility and a bit of paradise with a pristine beach virtually to yourself this is the place for you!

Enjoyable Stay

When I review a location it’s the whole experience. So let’s begin: The drive in is an adventure, to say the least. There were three river crossings along with uphills, downhills twists and turns. Personally I loved it, made it more fun. Upon arrival the property struck me as dated, requiring some TLC. It was as described, but older than I thought to be honest. That was my impression after a 5 hour drive. Then you realize where you are and you forget all the imperfections, your front yard is the ocean, your backyard the jungle. The beach is beautiful with miles and miles of sand and surf. Huge jungle hills surrounding you with all the beauty and nature Costa Rica has to offer. Monkeys, parrots, macaws we saw them all. Sunsets (daily) that you only see in movies or on TV. It’s quiet, it’s secluded and it feels like it’s all for you. I describe it like this - if you ever wanted to live in a postcard, this is that place. We ran into a couple issues, Elizabeth resolved them immediately, without question, and we appreciated that. Cheyo the caretaker and his wife cooked us meals daily, and they were awesome. Delivered to our door with fresh juices, catch of the day red snapper grilled to perfection, a real taste of local foods, we loved the service and recommend it when you stay. There are restaurants within 10 mins that were every bit as good if you wanted to get out. We loved it and would go back anytime.
