Perfect stay at Casa Nielsen!

Everything was perfect! House is perfect for families, lots of room, amenities, kitchen complete with everything you need to cook "at home" if you so choose to. Pool is well maintained... heck everything is well maintained! We walked to the beach daily and into town. Cant wait to go back!

Great space and outdoor entertaining

Location was perfect! Communication was very responsive and replies were within mins. Large house that sleeps a lot of people! Pool is okay size and not deep at all. Problem with hot water that tried to get resolved with the maintenance guy coming out but only ended up with hot water for an hour before it went back out and shower did not work in the master bathroom. Other than that the property was of great space for young and old and set up very nicely. Close to beach, food, and semi private. I would stay again but was dying for a hot shower when I got home. No bicycle was provided at home as listed. Great washer (that is covered outside) and dryer. Lots of towel are provided for beach swimming and for bathing.

Great house, I really liked this house private and peaceful. The pool is really nice and the BBQ area is great. The inside of the house is very comfortable. There are close by businesses just in case you need anything you forgot or ran out of. I would recommend this house and stay again myself. Thank you, Bryan and Elisia

Beautiful

We stayed at Casa Neilsen in mid-February. The house was spacious and allowed for our family of 6 to spread out. The pool and BBQ area was perfect for evening swimming and hanging out. We especially appreciated the pool being shaded in the afternoon after spending most of our morning at the beach in the sun. The property has plenty of iguanas to entertain you throughout the day. Felipe and Danny the property managers were very responsive and helpful. Overall Our family would stay at Casa Neilsen again.

Very nice.

Beautiful clean house and pool. Great for one or several families. Really you need to drive to the beach. Surf was very high, not too good for swimming. Property managers very responsive to questions. Really enjoyed the black iguanas in the yard. Very entertaining.

Great vacation house!

Xihu Villas was an awesome property! We rented this house a few days before my wedding with friends who all flew in on different days. The house was in a great location - a short 3 minute drive to the beach and had a great inside/outside area to lounge by the pool and cook outside. Our host, Felipe, was very kind and helped with any questions we had during our stay. The owner even allowed us to drop off our belongings the day before our stay to make room in our car. We hope to stay here again and would definitely recommend this house!!

Beautiful property near small surfing/fishing village!

We loved this house and Esterillos Oeste. It is beautiful, clean, fully stocked with everything you need and we loved hanging out in the pool after a day at the beach. We wished it was easier to walk to the beach, but it was a very short drive so overall it was a great stay. The property managers were friendly, responsive and just great people!

Wonderful home, wonderful setting!

Casa Nielsen was a wonderful setting for a week-long vacation with our two daughters and their young families. The house is amazing, large with every possible comfort and a lovely pool--all at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed Esterillos Oeste with its beach-front, small-town, untouristy nature, its friendly and helpful people and its proximity to wonderful ocean beaches, nature and the national parks. We all highly recommend.

Amazing location

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Close to all the activities that the kids wanted to do but then we would return to pretty much our own private beach. The house was big enough for several families to stay but it was also great for just the 4 of us. Both my teenagers could escape and have their own space. We spent a lot of time in the pool. The owner answered all my questions prior to arrival and the property managers were awesome. We had a list of activities we wanted to do and they set everything up for us. All in all, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you !

Pretty house, but had some issues.

The house was nice, but the oven didn't work and we were not able to use the grill as they had the wrong propane bottle connection. We purchased 280.00 worth of food to grill and bake and we had to throw most of it out and drive to Jaco to eat. Also, the washing machine was broke and there is one outside that we had to use...really weird! The property managers really need to clean the pool more often. It is a rectangular pool and in the creases there was build up and it looked nasty. We really didn't even get in it. We rented the house because they touted the "outside cooking area and pool" but we didn't use either for these reasons. We really didn't care for the location either. It was our first time in Costa Rica so now we know better areas to stay. Esterillos Oestes is VERY dirty!! We will definitely rent near Playa Hermosa next time. The neighbors were nice and helped us out more than the property managers!

Great house close to San Jose

We had a nice and relaxing time at the property. Kate who supported our arrival was very helpful and quick to respond to our needs. The house easily accommodates large groups of people and the pool is big enough. The beach is very near by and the location is quiet and allows to easily see birds like Guacamayas and parrots.

Spectacular. Above our expectations

Casa Nielsen was everything we had hoped for and more. Not only was the property stunningly beautiful but it was the perfect home away from home. The house comfortably slept my group of 11 friends and I and we absolutely loved our time there. The house is fully stocked with everything you need prior to your arrival, spotless inside and out and has a beautiful atmosphere. The owners Bryan & Elisia were great people to work with and provided my group with consistent communication from the moment we booked till we left. Also, Dave & Kate the property managers were very helpful throughout the whole process from arrival till departure. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay on our first trip to Costa Rica. Overall everyone loved Casa Nielsen, the surrounding area and very much appreciate Bryan, Elisia, Dave & Kate. I highly recommend staying here to get the best possible experience out of your visit and to truly enjoy a beautiful and inviting home. Pura Vida
