Lush vegetation can be admired across the landscape which is backed by volcanic hills and cliffs. The beach is never crowded, with the exception of a few local surfers and volunteers from Camaronal’s turtle hatchery… Playa Camaronal is known to have a stunning beach break which is surrounded by rocks, the break is very consistent and offers word class surf nearly year round. Playa Camaronal is known to offer fishing, surfing, and bird/wildlife watching; however, it is most famous for the pivotal role it plays in the preservation of the sea turtles.

Summary: We (2 people) stayed at Jerry's place for 6 nights. The apartment is very comfortable, with fans and A/C in both rooms, fully equipped kitchen. The mattress and linens etc were high quality. The pool is bigger than it looks in pictures, and such amazing views looking over the lush landscape all the way down to the surf in the distance. We watched monkeys one afternoon right from the front porch. If you're looking for comfortable, quite private lodging, this is the place. Jerry was on-site in his main house when we arrived, and when he left, the caretakers who live just next door were available if we needed anything or had questions.

Summary: This was our fifth trip to Jerry’s place in Camaronal, it is a truly magical experience from the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach as you sleep, to the sun rising over the mountains in the morning. The pictures can’t capture the beauty of the view you take in whether it be sitting in the adarondak chairs, or swimming in the pool.

Summary: I wish I were an eloquent writer so that I might be able to convey what a beautiful paradise this property is.As many others have said the photos can not capture the stunning landscape, sounds of nature and the constant roaring of the nearby waves. Not to mention the frequent monkey visits and bird watching.We stayed the entire month of December and could not be any happier. Jerry, the owner, is an amazing person and host. Santos and Yorleny keep everything immaculate and comfortable.The one bedroom apartment is private and the pool is sensational. The space is perfect for a couple or two close friends. Everything you need is on hand plus all the awesome restaurants, bars and shops in nearby Samara.Go experience it for yourself and thank me later.

Summary: This place is amazing! We (my husband and I) stayed for 3 nights. We wish it had been for longer, the view is incredible. The host Jerry is wonderful, and the caretakers Yorleny and Santos are lovely. The pictures do not show how incredible this place really is. Yorleny does a wonderful job taking care of the inside of the house and Santos does a lovely job on the outside, including upkeep on the pool, making it a nice to spend your day at if you want. We walked to the beach with the amazing ‘guard dog’ (tour guide) as he seems to know all the trails and ways to the beach. We also ate in town, great meals. And we drove to other southern beaches nearby. We really don’t want to leave.

Summary: This property was fantastic - it is perfect for a couple, but could also work for a family of 4. It comes with 2 wonderful caretakers who will provide maid service (including laundry), and the host lives on site and was fun to get to know and extremely friendly and communicative and helpful. The facilities were clean and well appointed- in the hot season, the AC and Fans were great in combination with the pool and shaded porch overlooking the ocean. We spent much of our time swimming and lounging on the wonderful porch with great fans and watching the views over the beach, or entertaining bird, amphibian and monkey visitors. When we were not enjoying the property, we took short drives to various spots. Its only a 5 minute drive to Playa Camaronal surfing beach and turtle refuge (wildlife watching, hiking), 10m to Playa Carillo area 25m to Playa Samara (swimming/groceries/restaurants/tours), and 15m to the Macau refuge (reserve in advance!) and Playa Islita (nice hotel/spa -wildlife watching) on good dirt roads. Our favorite thing to do was to drive to Playa Camaronal refuge and walk down to the Ora river delta to watch the fisherman and the birdlife or howler monkeys. Or just sit on the beach and watch the surfers. Just an amazing spot - we'll be coming back.

Summary: This property and the surrounding area are so much more beautiful in person! Pictures don't do them justice. The house is very comfortable, the garden is amazing, the pool is bigger than it looks on the pictures. The views are unbelievably impressive at all times but especially at sunrise and the night sky. You can hear and see the ocean from the house and you can watch monkeys come in the woods in front of it almost every day (it is a great show). Jerry, the owner is very pleasant, helpful and easy to communicate with. There are caretakers who are available at all times if you need them. They clean the pool every day but they are absolutely non-intrusive, live in a separate house and you have your complete privacy. The road to the house (specifically the last 2km) is a bit challenging and 4x4 will be the best option, also driving after dark to the house will be too adventurous. Playa Carrilo is 10-15 minutes drive from the house and is a gorgeous beach with palm trees and not too many people. There is a little town called Samara nearby, full with tourists and touristy places if you like to have more crowds around or you can fully enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding the beautiful house. It was an unforgettable experience.

Summary: My wife and I stayed at this property for 3 nights. Jerry and his host staff were attentive, helpful and kind. This property is a perfect spot 15-30 minutes from the ocean, on a quieter and pleasant environment rather than booking a place close to Samara or any other noisy nearby beach town. The Villa is safe, beautiful, clean and well maintained. You could combine your stay by taking half -day trips for whale and dolphin watching from Samara, as we did, and also sit and relax on the beautiful terrace facing the ocean while visited by howler and white face monkeys. The pool is a quiet and beautiful place to enjoy the surrounding nature as well. If you come from San Jose, fastest directions could take you on a dirt road via Hojancha / route 158. Highly recommended fun and scenic route but will required extra attention and driving skills. Please invest on a 4x4 rental if you want to expand your horizons driving in Costa Rica. Traffic jams area big issue on main roads, especially along Pan-American route 1. Eventually you will take secondary unpaved roads to detour heavy traffic, so 4x4 is a must. Plan to be at your destination not later than 4pm. No matter your phone carrier, either local or roaming, you will lose connectivity along the way, so budget your time. Sun sets at 5:45, you don’t want to be wondering around on unknown territory at dark with no phone. We have more than 17 years’ experience traveling in Costa Rica. Jerry's place truly exceeded our expectations.

Summary: It’s really hard for me to write this review as I selfishly don’t want anyone to know about Jerry’s place. All kidding (and some seriousness aside lol) this place is 10 stars if I could give it that rating. Jerry is an absolutely beauty of a human, super chill surfer with wonderful caretakers Yurleny and Santos to make you feel like part of the family. The place is super clean, remote, quiet, and just plain amazing. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is basic but works awesome for cooking meals, heating food in the microwave or keeping your groceries fresh in the large fridge. Wifi is included but keep in mind the remoteness has the power in and out daily - but if you came to be on your phones or watching TV maybe stay at a resort instead as this place is to relax, unwind and be part of nature. There is a MASSIVE pool overlooking the rain forest, and the ocean, that is pretty much private for just you. Every morning we woke to monkeys in the trees howling and making noise. Jerry also has a wonderful dog, who seemed to just want our company while always there to protect us and the property - always felt very safe. The road in is a bit of a challenge if you are a nervous driver, but we did it in pitch black without any hassle, we felt it was just part of the rural remote Costa Rican experience. Jerry actually called us on WhatsApp and guided us in personally. I literally could go on and on about our time there but I’m limited to 1500 letters to praise this place.

Summary: This place is just like in the pictures. It is just wow! The pool is large and really nice. Accessible whenever you want. There are 2 ground keepers just beside the property who are always available, but give you privacy. It is a little guard to find, bumpy dirt road for 10 minutes, you get used to it after 1 day. It is 20 minutes to the beautiful and swimmable Carillo beach and 30 minutes to Samara. We highly recommend this place.

Summary: The view is spectacular. The owner and caretakers were very nice and helpful. The house was a great size for the two of us. We swam in the pool several times and just sat on the porch to watch the ocean. View can not be beat. Will definitely stay there again when we come back to this part of CR.
