This location is amazing! This was the perfect accommodation for the relaxing beach vacation we were intent on having. The layout of the house was so thoughtful enabling us to enjoy being outside most of the days even during torrential downpour. We’re hoping to return to this house next year.

Amazing location!

I never wanted to leave! With the beautiful yard, the beach, the tide pools and Cheyo and his wonderful dogs, Sand Dollar Cove was heavenly! We wanted to stay somewhere away from the crowds where we could relax and enjoy the outdoors, and we did! The birds and howler monkeys were plentiful. Elizabeth and Jim were excellent hosts and quick to answer my questions. I’m already scheming to go back. Thank you so much, Elizabeth and Jim, for sharing your magical place.

We had a wonderful time at Sand Dollar Cove and will be coming back again!

The property was exactly as the pictures portrayed and the beach was very private! Cheo and Pat were both available for any questions we had and were always offering extra services to us. When we arrived we were greeted by a driftwood Christmas tree that Pat had built for us! It was the most peaceful and relaxing atmosphere we could ever have hoped for! Thank you for such special memories~~

Unbelievable paradise

If you are looking for a more private/less touristy experience in Costa Rica, this is the property for you. The beach could not be closer. When I sent a picture of our view from the porch to a friend, she told me it couldn't be real because it was too amazing! Do not hesitate to stay at this property. It was the highlight of our trip.

Magical unicorn -

I CANT explain how magical this place is. My family of 5 were very excited to stay here. It is truly paradise. Horses came to the house and we rode them on the beach. Cheyo made us the biggest bonfire we have ever seen. He and his wife are so kind and amazing. We will be back.

Paradise. Home Away from Home.

Paradise. I love it here! If you are looking for an isolated experience that feels like home with breathtaking ocean views and non-stop bird watching...this is it. Leave your white noise machine at home, climb into one of the hammocks and let the waves sing you to sleep. The beds are comfortable, I loved lounging on the porch and being steps away from the ocean all made me very happy. Sand Dollar Cove feels like home away from home. I can't wait to visit again.

This was an amazing stay!

We absolutely loved the sand dollar cove. Waking each day to waves and roosters was just the get away from cars and sirens that our clients needed. Everything we needed for beach fun was included and that was a big surprise! Pat was just a phone call or text message away and extremely responsive and helpful. Cheo cut cocos for us two evenings in a row, super delicious! This location and community was a dream, thank you for allowing us to use your home!

This is the most gorgeous property we have ever seen. The pristine tropical beach is literally steps from the door and almost no one but us. The house is comfortable and well equipped. Elizabeth is a fantastic host and very available and responsive. Cheyo, the groundskeeper, was helpful and pleasant, giving us all the privacy we wanted. This is a lovely, relaxing piece of heaven.

Location, Location, Location what a Gem

The stay here was great, lots of beach walks with the house also very well stocked, wished we had a pack and play for our grandson but made it work. The AC in each room gave you great sleeping temps. All the beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards were a great option. Spent most of our time on the beach at the tidal pools, in the water or on the nice shaded deck overlooking the water. Easy to walk to a nice to a place to grab a snack and beverage, Loco Cocos and the Pizza Tree was a fun experience as well. If you are looking for quiet and solitude this is the place.

Can't wait to go back

If I could drop my life and move there tomorrow, I would do it. The trip was not without issues. The location is rather remote and there was rain and flooding throughout the country. Plenty went wrong, but so much of it was out of everyone's control and through it all the host and the caretaker were attentive and communicative. This property is a little slice of heaven if you want to get off the beaten path. If it hadn't been booked up I might still be there.

An absolute gem

We spent 5 days at Sand Dollar Cove with three generations of family and had an absolutely perfect trip. The beach is truly spectacular - beautiful, clean, with warm gentle water, and almost no one else in sight. Inside the house is clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was a nice reprieve from the hot weather, but the breeze off the ocean made even outdoors pleasant even in high temperatures. The caretaker, Cheyo, was very friendly and responsive the few times we needed help with something. We really couldn't have asked for a better trip. It's off the beaten path but 100% worth it.

Wonderful Vacation!!!

This vacation home is perfect for the one who wants a Costa Rican experience, not a canned resort experience. Cheyo, the caretaker is a delight to talk to and maintains the home and grounds as if it were his own. Elizabeth the host is easy to work with. The home is beautiful and you couldn't ask for a more perfect private beach. The waves were perfect for boogie boarding. The only thing that concerned us was the drive to the property, however after making it there we realized it wasn't as long as it seemed, however, very very rough dirt roads. So just be aware, but don't let that stop you. The bedrooms are spacious and everything is very comfortable. Thank you Elizabeth, Jim and Cheyo!

Little piece of heaven

This is our second time here and we are looking to book next year. The house and location are perfect if you want to experience Costa Rica without a bunch of tourists. Cheyo and Soleil are lovely and Elizabeth responds quickly to any issues. This location is so special. The beach is beautiful the house is beautiful. There are several restraints if you want to eat out that you can walk the beach to or a short drive. We like to cook and Cheyo can get you fresh fish right out of the ocean to make cerviche or grill. There are stores 15 min drive away for anything you need. Just heaven! Thanks you Elizabeth for another lovely stay!!!

Peaceful slice of paradise

This is a beautiful place to get away. Looks exactly as advertised. Cheyo was easily available on the property for help if needed but you did not see him otherwise. The only other people were a few stray beachgoers, otherwise you have the beach completely to yourself. There are not many restaurants or stores nearby so not the spot if that is what you are looking for. We saw a coati, several birds. Lots of hermit crabs on the beach but not an issue if you go out further. Exactly what I hoped it would be.

I almost hate to tell how perfect it is

This is our third time coming to Sand Dollar Cove. It may be my favorite place on earth. Playa San Miguel is a beautiful beach that goes on forever. The people are friendly the seafood is amazing and the house is perfect! I almost hate to review so it gets popular. The house is airconditioned in the bedrooms and right on your own private part of the beach in a cove with an estuary. The back patio is perfect to sit see and hear the ocean and be cooled by ocean breezes. The wifi is really good. the beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Cheyo the caretaker can get you fresh fish. We watched the Super Bowl at Hotel Laguna Mar with a bunch of Americans, the seafood soup and ribs there were great! We went to the jungle butterfly farm, I recommend going there early in your trip because Mike's bug spray is the best! Elizabeth thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us! It is truly a remarkable place.
