Sweet spot in Santa Teresa

Lovely home with 3 ensuite bedrooms made a perfect fit for the 5 of us (2 couples and a single). Our host Scott was gracious and helpful about surf spots, restaurants and "things to do in Santa Teresa".Highly recommend and hope to get back in the future.

Top notch holiday!

Our week at Casa Amore was fabulous...the house was perfectly located, right on the beach and close to several great eateries and shopping. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with everything we needed to make meals. Dustin the caretaker could not have been more user-friendly...great recommendations and solved any issues that we had. Overall, a tremendous experience!

Great Family Gathering!

We were three adult couples staying on the property for two weeks. The location is great, right in the center of Santa Teresa with great beaches to the right and left. Good restaurants are within walking distance. On-property caretakers and housekeeper were amazingly helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend this property due to its amenities (well stocked kitchen and great wifi), location, layout and beach access.

On the beach

Casa Amore was perfect for the 6 of us. Centrally located in Santa Teresa so it was an easy bike ride to bars and restaurants. Beach right out the back door with swimming to the left. Dustin and Chelsea helped with arrangements for various excursions which was wonderful. The house had all we needed for dining in. Sun, surf, wildlife, and great people made this trip wonderful

Perfect Location in Santa Teresa!

You can’t get more beachfront than this perfectly located house in the cool beach/surfer town of Santa Teresa. The house was spacious with plenty of room both inside and out. The air conditioner worked well (very much needed given the warm tropical climate). Dustin was great and helped us organize an impromptu fishing trip where we caught 7 Dorado in 3 hours. The beach in front was great for sunset watching and was an easy walk to surf breaks both north and south. Restaurants were also all within walking distance. If you don’t want/need a pool - you’d be hard pressed to find a better place right on the beach! Best value in Santa Teresa!

Pics and description don’t do it justice...

...and they were so good I was skeptical, but the reality is that the place was better than advertised. Seriously, this was one of the best rentals we’ve ever had. Service was top notch in every capacity starting with eggs, toast, fruit and beers in fridge at arrival so we didn’t have to rush out right when we got there. Honestly I could go on and on, but just read the description and know that the pics, location and service are 10x in person. Cannot recommend higher.

Surf and Turf

Casa Amore was the perfect place to say for our two young families. We have been to Santa Teresa previously (before children), so we knew this was a central location close to shops (short walk to groceries and restaurants) and surf. But the house and property were even better than expected! There was plenty of room for our four young children to play and explore (the compost pile filled with hermit crabs was very entertaining). We enjoyed lounging on the sofas or hammocks outside in the shade midday to take a break from the sun. And the kids would explore in the shaded yard looking for creatures and shells. Morning and evening surf was just a short walk down the beach. And the tide pools kept the kids entertained for hours, not to mention the boogie boarding with boards complements of Casa Amore! We mostly made dinner each evening (rather than eating out) after watching the beautiful sunset and ate at the large outdoor dining table. The house felt clean and spacious with comfortable beds, powerful AC, and a very well-stocked kitchen. We really appreciated the over-night security guard and cleaning crew. Dustin, the property manager, was awesome. He was attentive, helpful, and quick to respond if we had any questions. The Wi-Fi worked well. There was an excellent media room as well (but we never really used it as there was just so much outdoor adventures to be had)! My only complaint is that vacations always have an end. But at least we now know we have “our place” to go back to whenever we return to ST. Thanks for making our Costa Rican getaway even better than expected Casa Amore!

Great location and service

House is well equipped, super clean, and the house manager is very responsive. Loved the proximity to the beach and walkability to the village. Huge backyard for hammocks and animal watching. Media room is a hit for the teens. A/C is fantastic. House is a bit dark and could use some more light and some painting/upgrades, but overall a great find.

Amazing Stay!!

We came to Casa Amore as a large group of friends, many of whom had never been to Santa Teresa before. But Casa Amore blew our expectations out of the water! It was in a great location, beautiful and clean home, with private beach access. It is very spacious and both modern/homey. The cleaning crew also came every other day, which was a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend this place to any large group. We had a fabulous stay!

Perfect house for a beach vacation

We had an incredible time at Casa Amore. The location is perfect -- between Playa Carmen and Playa Santa Teresa, with a swimming cove out front and surf breaks to the left and right. Waking up and seeing the ocean every morning never got old. The bedrooms were gigantic, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook family dinners. Dustin (the property's caretaker) was attentive, and responded quickly if we had any issues. We also really appreciated having Alejandro (the house's security guard) on duty at night; he was friendly and it was nice to know the house was safe when we were away. We'd love to stay at Casa Amore again sometime.

An unforgettable experience

From the very beginning when I booked the house right up until the end, the experience was honestly perfect. The property manager Dustin was incredibly helpful. He put up Happy Birthday decorations for my brother upon arrival which was a nice touch and every time I needed help with something it was never an issue. The house itself is immaculate, spacious and in such a great location. 2 minutes from the local fruit and veg store and right next to the main strip yet it feels completely secluded and private. You walk from the back patio right onto the beach. The morning beach walks were a highlight as well as the sunsets from the back patio each evening. The beds are really comfy, great pillows (always a big bonus) and the kitchen was enormous and really well equipped. The TV room is great although I barely used it. All in all it was everything we were hoping for and I would glady stay there again. Thanks again Dustin.

Very nice location and management.

The house is well equipped and the manager is a very nice guy. Despite of being an old house everything works fine with the exception of the showers that is awful since you can’t temper the water. There are rusty iron bars in all windows and doors which is unpleasant, but probably needed.

Spacious home in a great beachfront location

This is a spacious, clean and comfortable home in a great location in Santa Teresa. It's centrally located on a beautiful beach with great surfing and swimming nearby. We enjoyed hanging out on the spacious and comfortable deck every day. We also explored the beach in both directions, enjoying the warm water and wonderful views. There are great restaurants walking distance from the home too. I worked while I was there and the internet was fast and reliable. On top of all that, Dustin was a great host.

Worthwhile Effort To Visit

Home is well positioned within the Santa Teresa commercial area while right on the beach. Walkable to numerous restaurants, grocery and some stores. You will appreciate that when you see the chaos that can be the road in front on Casa Amore. Yet with all the quads, motorcycles, bicycles, SUVs and delivery trucks, the property remains a quiet oasis. A security guard makes sure in the evening nothing invades your privacy. Tidal pools are just outside our private gate with an isolated feel to the beach in early December. The caretakers live on the property and welcome you. We were there to just relax for three days, and they respected that. We sat in the rockers, walked the beach and walked to the nearby restaurants. But there are opportunities to surf, do yoga and take tours which the caretakers can help with. Please note, Santa Teresa is a surfer town and most everyone seems to be in their 20-30s. We are not in that age range, but that did not interfere with our enjoying our stay. With the planned development in the works, it will be interesting if it maintains the young hip feel. We hope to get back one day to see if it maintains its current feel of remoteness and youthful personality.
