Vacation rentals in Parrita

“Thank you Jessica and Justin! This place blew me away. We took a last minute trip for the long weekend after 40+ days in self-quarantine during the pandemic. The only problem was we didn’t have anyone to look after our cat, but the hosts generously accepted him as a guest along with us. I desperately needed to see the sea and sit outside endlessly, and this place was exactly what we were looking for. The views from the balcony were breathtaking. I loved sitting out there all day, reading and meditating and letting the nature recharge me. I wish I would have been able to stay out there all night, but after sun down the bugs made it unpleasant. As other reviewers commented, the bugs did invite themselves inside at night, despite our best effort to shut the doors before dark and leave off the lights. I found the house super warm in the evening, but that was my fault because I prioritized fresh air over air conditioning at this stay, later to realize without the doors open there is no fresh breeze. There was hot water for the shower (others said there wasn’t) and big, cozy towels to dry off with. I found the plumbing a little wonky, as the water pressure was weak and the bathroom did smell a bit. Overall, those were minor things considering the views, access to town, and access to the beach. Jessica was so communicative and helpful, I was truly impressed with the hospitality. We enjoyed the Britt coffee and chocolates that were left for us so much. Bottom line, if you are looking for an authentic experience with gorgeous views and a relaxing outdoor set up, I highly recommend this place! If you are bothered by bugs or the heat expected from being at the beach, then keep it moving. We, however, will be back!”

“We had a wonderful 5-night stay at Los Laureles in March 2020! Rosie was very helpful at check-in and super-responsive in the lead-up to our trip. The pool and AC were a great relief from the heat, and our morning walks around the pond, where we saw small crocodiles and large turtles, were awesome. The kids loved the place! It was spotless and seemed impervious to bugs and geckos - none could be found. Overall, a very quiet and pleasant place to stay for a family with young kids, with the beach just a short (3-minute) drive away.”

“My family and I were looking for an authentic yet exotic Costa Rican experience. Tropical House far exceeded our expectations! Spectacular views, comfortable outdoor living spaces, stylish interior all within a laid back neighborhood. The outdoor shower was simply divine. Cute local eateries and short drive to many must see destinations. Ideal location for chill days and home base for excursions. Jeni and Bryan's hospitality is second to none. In addition to the amazing property, our gracious hosts shared so many local tips during the planning stages of out trip throughout our stay. It was like having a travel assistant. They even helped me book tours at discounted prices. Quick response and super friendly. Hands down...Best. Hosts. Ever! We created lifelong memories at the Tropic House and look forward to returning.”
