Beautiful house at great locarion

We are so happy and grateful for our time in Masca and Manu's vacation house. Both were amazingly generous people and hosts and took good care of us during our stay at their beautiful house. The impressive tropical garden was our view from the house's veranda that we enjoyed so much for 2 weeks. Playa Negra location is also great not too far from Puerto Viejo village but still quiet and relaxing area with very friendly neighbors. I'd highly recommend this place for a wonderful vacation experience.

Paradise in the jungle

I can’t say enough positive about our stay here. Our host (“Masca” - Gilberto) greeted us upon our arrival and made sure that we comfortable and knew how everything worked. Prior to our arrival he responded to all our emails. He was such a great host. He took us to get groceries since we did not have a car and even took us to a bike rental place and made sure we got good service. The house is amazing. It sits on a large lot and has amazing birds in the trees. One day we decided to just stay at the home and enjoy identifying the birds and taking pictures. It is not far from Playa Negra, a beautiful beach with black sand. We did not use the bikes to go into town at night as the local streets can be pretty dark and streets narrow so we took cabs. But even that was fun. Masca had recommendations of taxi drivers and it was very easy to get hold of someone. And, EVERYONE knows Masca. All we had to do is tell the driver we were staying in the house next to Masca and they knew exactly where to take us! By the way, the town of Puerto Viejo has many fabulous restaurants in a wide range of prices so that was a fun part of our trip too. If you want a wonderful place to stay with helpful and special hosts. This is it!
