Beautiful home

We loved staying at this location because the beach is just a short walk and Tamarindo was close to walk as well. Great restaurants around the home and they had a small super market walking distance! Loved the hammock also.

Amazing stay steps from the beach

The casa and surrounding area (beach, resturants, town) are absolutely fantastic and were exactly what my husband and I needed for our week of vacation. We spent a blissful week of walking between the beach and the casa several times each day. Leading up to our time there, i was very concerned by one recent review relating to construction in the area. When i reached out to Sharr, she was very responsive and gave me consistent updates on the status of construction and set our minds at ease. Going into our week at the casa, I had several backup plans in the event that the construction was a problem. In our experience, the construction was not a problem. None of the activities (while ongoing) were particularly loud and the spaces are physically seperated by an ~8' wall and very lush well developed greenery, so there were no concerns around privacy. From inside the casa we could not hear any activities at all. During our time, Sharr was very thoughtful and communicative and even helped us to find other houses in the area when we were looking to extend our trip (the casa was booked ☹ or we would have continued our stay there). We had a wonderful time and definitely plan to return. ***My husband has asked me to also include a note on how great it was to have the charcoal grill.

Construction noise

This is very hard to do. The casita was beautiful, in a beautiful neighborhood and you can walk to beaches and restaurants. The house next door is under construction, which is occurring all over the area. Our first week, they were putting on the roof using saws to cut sheet metal and tile. The noise was ear piercing. They started at 7 am and continued until 9 pm most days. They worked 7 days a week and then some of the workers appeared to be camping there and would play music at night. I complained after a week, and Sharr informed me that the construction manager told her that it would end the following day. Then the back hoe came in to dig ditches all day and they would let the engine idle next to our adjoining wall. As we left this morning, the saws were going again starting at 7am. I wished Sharr would have warned us and reduced our rate. The inside of the construction house has not been finished. I expect construction for at least 6 more months. That said, we would come back in a heartbeat in a year. I would not book his year.

Sad to leave

Our second visit to Casa Rustica and it doesn’t disappoint! The people, the area, the home… amazing! The construction in the area is less amazing due to the noise it creates. We were fortunate that the neighbours shut down the noisy aspects for the Christmas holidays (23-30) but if you are planning to hang out in the peace and quiet on the deck… now is not that time. No worries, the beach is pristine, the restaurants are fabulous and Tamarindo is just a short walk and boat ride away. Plenty to do away from the Casa and the noise is generally shut it down by 6pm (7am start).

Perfect

Casa Rustica was an excellent property. Extremely clean, comfortable bed, awesome shower, cool accent pieces, and excellent kitchen utensils. Shar is very pleasant and quick to respond. Will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sharr Lawrence

We are an adventurous well-traveled family that have been around the world and lived in countries across the globe. Costa Rica is where we feel most at home. We are all ocean lovers and have a passion for new discoveries and nature. We endeavor to create a magical retreat at Casa Rustica with a romantic and ethereal appeal. Natural and unique art pieces handcrafted mostly by my husband and myself, and the handpicked colors make this house special.
Its location and setting being close to the beach surrounded by large garden spaces and big trees cannot be surpassed.
