Fantastic house in amazing location
The house is beautiful, clean and in a fantastic location overlooking Playa Negra. It is an easy walk to the beach and hotel restaurant with world class surfing plus yoga. You need a car to drive less than 5 minutes to get to amazing food and coffee too. Lots of space for a group of family and/or friends.

Another Fantastic Week in Costa Rica
We stayed at Casa Somos Uno in 2019 and had a great experience so when we made the decision to go back to Costa Rica for the winter break we said - lets book this awesome place again. Key reason is the house location is perfect in a secure private neighborhood in Playa Negra with 24 hour security/guards. The house it self is perfect for out 7 member family - 3 adult kids - shared the bunk room in the basement and my wife and I had the fabulous master on one side while my brother in-law and mother in-law had the other two bedrooms. The owners and the property managers that are local are awesome just send a WhatsApp message and they respond immediately. The only issue we had was the neighborhood was experiencing power problems and those were taken care of by the local management team. They should be fixed now - power company came out a few times and fixed it for us mid-week. - THANK YOU AGAIN FOR AN AWESOME WEEK>

Our family of 9 stay at Casa Somos Uno
Our family of 9 stayed at Somos Uno for 9 nights. The house is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The view is breathtaking! We had a wonderful time. There was one exception. There was a rather large leak from the roof in one of the upper bedrooms. We notified the property manager and it seemed that she was already aware of the problem. We sent pictures too. No further action to fix the problem was taken and the leak continued to drip through our stay. A large pool of water formed and we had to put towels down. It was embarrassing that some family members had to deal with that during the whole trip.

Beyond expectations!
The house, location, and property managers (Jarrod and Meaghan) all exceeded our expectations. The house is well designed, super clean, and thoughtfully stocked. Looking over the ocean from the poolside deck was just plain awesome. The location was perfect for us, could walk to surf spots in the morning, and the sunsets in front were ideal. Rocky beach in front might not be great for families with younger children to swim but was perfect for us. Could stand up paddleboard right in front of the house. Jarrod and Meaghan were great communicators, very responsive, and their suggestions of places to eat and activities were spot on. They hooked us up with Javier at Los Pargos Adventures to rent surfboards (he was flexible and suggested great gear), arranged an in-house massage (best ever), and also organized a horse ride down the beach with Ronaldo which was one of the highlights of the trip. Cannot say enough about the experience, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful hideaway!
This property is everything you can imagine and more. It is incredible - just a few short steps to the beach and you can keep busy all day poking around in the sand. Jerrod and Meaghen are attentive and quick to respond to any issues, questions or bookings they can help you arrange. I loved waking up to the horses on the lawn everyday. A few notes: we were travelling with kids, young adults and gramma and grandpa - although the property was beautiful staying in Tamarindo would have been better for us - then gramma and grandpa can go back to the house to relax, kids and be on the beach etc. There were 10 of us so I think closer to the town itself would have been better for us. Before you arrive check if there have been any robberies in the area and follow instructions for setting the alarm. All in all this was a beautiful place to stay the house comes with everything you could want or need - plenty of everything.
