This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we are so happy we found this amazing condo after searching around. Kalli was so helpful from the initial invite request, through until we got checked in with so much information on places to eat, shop, sight-see, you name it. Olivia and Roxanna helped us with literally anything we needed during our trip, including getting set up with some tours and answering questions. The condo is beautiful, very clean, and I wish I could describe the peaceful atmosphere of listening to the waves and the birds while watching the most amazing sunsets. It was a great location to be able to visit different beaches. It’s so weird how different the beaches are from one another while literally being side-by-side! El Castillo was our favorite local place to eat as his food has the most amazing flavors! Margarita’s there were fabulous too. The fruit stand by the condo was handy and fruit here is definitely way better than what we get in Minnesota. What I enjoyed the most about our trip was the lack of crowds and chaos. The streets of Tamarindo were busy, but I was in awe while visiting Rincon de la Vieja National Park, which included a private tour guide, walking the trails, and visiting a waterfall that we weren’t surrounded by crowds unlike so many other places we’ve been. Same with the beaches and any restaurant- no waiting to get in at all. It was all so relaxing. I worry this will change and am grateful we were able to enjoy the country as-is. And we saw so many cool things right on Endless Beach. Besides the diving pelicans we saw jumping rays, sea snakes on the shoreline, puffer fish, and a small herd of cows who will walk along the shoreline with a stop at the adjacent estuary for a quick drink. It was all fabulous and much needed- though now that I’m back in Minnesota and am looking at another snow storm on the way, I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Thank you Kalli!
