Wonderful beach house!
Our family of 7 loved staying at Casa Tortuga! It was probably our favorite place we stayed in Costa Rica - right across the street from a beautiful beach, very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need for cooking, beach towels provided, in short: highly recommended!

Old school/up graded beach house
Casa Tortuga is a wonderful spot right on the beach. It's a typical Costa Rica vacation home upgraded with A.C. and full kitchen. They did a great job keeping the Tico vibe, but making it welcoming for those expecting hot water, etc. Esterillos has, so far, managed to escape the big developers that have taken over most of Guanacaste. It is a spot where you can still get fresh caught fish right from the boat.Our contact, Keylor, was very communicative and ready to help in any way he could.If you want to party go to Tamarindo, but if you want to relax on a quiet beach and grill fresh fish this is the place.

Nice but has water issues
Marla the host was great. House was nice and had most everyone we needed. However, the water from the tap was 1) Un-drinkable, 2) turned off between noon and 6pm daily, and 3) when it was available there was little to no pressure. Finally the living room didn’t have AC so it was super hot which cause everyone to hang out in their room to stay cool rather that hanging out as a family.
+1 star if Owner is looking to add a water storage tank to fix the above issues which would raise my rating to to a 4
+1 star if they added AC in the living room
