Greatest vacation ever!!

We absolutely loved your home from the start to the finish. The groundskeeper was excellent. The maid made us breakfast every day. They were very delightful. There were eight of us that stayed there and all eight said it’s probably the best vacation they’ve ever been on. They said just so so beautiful and what a wonderful country to visit

The view from the back of the house is exactly like the pictures - absolutely beautiful! The house was also as described. We spent our days seeing the sites and spent our late afternoon/evenings in the pool/hot tub enjoying the beautiful view. Great house!

Highly Recommend

Eric’s place is magnificent, beautiful surroundings with spectacular views. Melissa & Odon were great & helpful! The place was clean & well maintained. We were a group of 3 families and felt very comfortable with this property, totally recommend to anyone considering spending time in the Los Suenos area. And it was true, we were visited by 10 white faced monkeys, parrots, iguanas, yellow breasted birds, & a tucan 5 minutes before we had to leave! Very enjoyable vacation

Spectacular Views

This house was perfect! Incredible location with stunning views! Short golf cart ride to the marina. Macaws flying over daily, monkeys down the road which the grandkids loved. Iguanas galore and the housekeepers were so nice. Will definitely be back. Los Sueños is our absolute favorite place in Costa Rica! Oh and fishing was epic! Highly recommend staying at Casa Carvajal!

Absolutely amazing!!

We stayed at this beautiful home for a 50th birthday girls trip. I cannot say enough about this house. The location is perfect, the house is just as beautiful (if not more) than the pictures! Odon and Marisa were so sweet and anything we needed they did. They are great. Marisa made us breakfast in the morning before our excursions and it was perfect. I didn't need to communicate very much with the owner because the house had everything we needed. The little communication with Eric was very attentive. The view you cannot put into words. The pool and hot tub with that view is perfection. We saw humpback whales in the cove under the house twice and macaw's flying over every day. We can't wait to come back. Everything was perfect and beautiful.

Incredible Home

This home has extraordinary views, unlike anything we have experienced before. The photos in the listing truly do not do it justice. Absoluletly stunning! The home is very well equipped and Melissa was amazing. If you stock groceries, she will put together an amazing breakfast every day & clean up after. She was delightful. The house is very well laid out & the bathrooms were gorgeous. The pool was beautifully located, but was not truly cleaned, appears it was shocked & chemicals added, but lots of sand & dirt at the bottom. The hot tub was fantastic for evenings when it was a bit cooler. I read previously some guests complained it was not turned on & was extra cost, but that was not our experience. It was actively running when we arrived & we were shown how to turn it on & off, which was a very easy process that we navigated daily without any issues. We did have a couple hiccups with door locks being broken & a family of raccoons subsequently breaking in one evening and rummaging through the trash, but we were able to get them out & the groundskeeper fixed the lock the very next morning. Truly any and all issues we ran in to were immediately rectified, which made them very tolerable. One word to the wise, the private chef offering through Piko Travel was not worth the money & was very poorly executed & the cost of transportation via Piko was exorbitant, even for the shortest of rides. But outside of that it was a fabulous vacation and beautiful experience.

Amazing home!

We loved our stay at Casa Carvajal. Eric, Melissa and Odon make a great team. Melissa made us breakfast every morning and cleaned the house and Odon shopped for us. He also took care of the whole property during our stay. We had a few issues but Odon quickly fixed everything. We loved the pool. We hired Jose the private chef and had delicious dinners made by Jess and Oscar. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you.

We had the best vacation with friends in Costa Rica! The home was beyond incredible. Pictures can't capture everything. Fabulous location, stunning views and wildlife in the backyard (monkey's, iguana's, geckos, macaw's, crabs...). We were so well cared for and felt right at home. I can't recommend this property enough. Can't wait to go back!!!

Paradise

This house was absolutely perfect for our Spring Break getaway. We traveled with 2 families and the layout of the house was perfect for us! Everyone had enough room to spread out and be comfortable. We spent the majority of our time enjoying the views off the back patio and infinity pool. One morning, white-faced monkeys even stopped by to visit. It was a highlight of our stay. Every morning around 6:30am, as I was drinking my coffee, the Macaws would fly over the house. Odon and Melissa took care of our every need we had. The breakfast Melissa prepared for us left us feeling spoiled. Odon shopped for us and would bring home the most amazing fresh papaya and mango. Eric was so easy to work with. He answered all of our questions about the house and we felt like we were at home in his casa. We chose to rent 2 golf carts to explore the community. Each night, we would venture down to the marina for dinner except for the one night that Jose came to cook for us. I highly recommend reaching out to Piko Travel for any of your excursions. Piko took care of everything and we had a driver escort us to all the excursions. Piko Travel made leaving the property a breeze. I will definitely be recommending this home to our friends and can’t wait for the opportunity to bring my family back!

Short but fantastic stay

We had a short but fantastic stay as this beautiful home. Eric and Piko and the whole crew took great care of us to make sure we had everything we needed. The communication was great all around. Piko set us up with chef Jose Piñar who turned out to be one of the highlights of our vacation. His food was of course delicious but beyond that he was so flexible - making separate meals for the kids, arranging for a special birthday cake to help us celebrate a birthday, made us an adult beverage as a last minute request and was a total pleasure work with and our kids loved him! Highly recommended his services!! The home was very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. You won’t regret staying at this house!

Palatial Paradise!!

Casa Carvajal was everything described and so much more! The photos don't do it justice as the view out back is stunning! We spent every morning having coffee on the patio and every afternoon have cocktails in the infinity pool soaking up the view! Eric the owner was a delight to work with and answered all my questions promptly. And Piko Travel handled and booked all our tours for us. He made suggestions and did a fabulous job! Everyone of his drivers were on time and so very courteous. Odon is the gardener and was happy to get whatever we needed at the grocery. And Melisa prepared the best Costa Rican breakfast with the food Odon purchased for us. We were so spoiled and felt like royalty! All my friends now want to go after seeing my photos on Facebook. We will definitely return. Pura Vida!!

Once in a lifetime vacation

Our family experienced a once in a lifetime vacation at Casa Caraval. From the monkeys that visited, the amazing view, to the groundskeeper and Melissa the maid, we loved every second of it. Our group ranged from ages 6-73, and everyone hated to leave to go home. I say once in a lifetime, but I have a feeling we will be back sooner rather than later!!

Amazing views

This property is amazing. It is situated on top of a mountain looking out over the ocean. The views are breathtaking. Waking up every morning to this scenery is an unbelievable experience. The service is also outstanding. We had breakfast cooked for us every morning by our housekeeper. She was very sweet and a wonderful chef. We also had great service by the groundskeeper who showed up every day to water their amazing garden and help us with anything we needed. There are tropical plants everywhere including inside the home. It felt so refreshing. The owner was readily available for any and all questions. He even gave us recommendations for activities. The house is very open and the pool is fabulous. We had a great stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Carvajal

Host profile image
My Father was born and raised in Costa Rica but currently resides in San Antonio, TX. He purchased the lot approx. 15 years ago with the idea to one day build his dream beach home . After 3 years of designing and planning, he finally began construction on this Costa Rican masterpiece, . The intention was never to rent the house and all of the furnishings are very high end and purchased for personal use. We would love to share our family home with yours!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this lot about 15 years ago because of the view. You will not find a better setting in Costa Rica. We constructed our dream home on the lot about 9 years ago and we could not ask for anything better. The neighborhood is gated and very private and safe for our family. Also, the homes in the neighborhood are primarily owned by Costa Rican families so we get a true cultural immersion while we stay there and keep far enough away from the touristy type crowds in the main resort areas.

What makes this property unique

Best view in Costa Rica. Private beach in neighborhood. Scarlett Macaws, monkeys, iguanas, you name it, right in our back yard
