Vacation rentals in Agujas

Words cannot describe our experience at Candelilla. Pictures do not do the villa justice. The view is breathtaking, the property is exquisite, the landscaping is impeccable and not a stone is left unturned. Greg and Dave were exceptional. The nicest hosts I have ever met! Always at our service to book excursions and reservations and to accommodate our every need. We came to experience the country and the view, but did not expect to make such great friends in the process. Everything was even better than advertised. It was clear that with more than 10 years of experience, they have truly thought of everything and put the guest first in every way possible. For that, we are forever greatful:) We wish we could have met Tiki, but we’re sure she would have been just as great! This was the trip of a lifetime, and the service was truly the highlight. Highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get away and get a local experience in one of the most beautiful countries on earth!

This was an amazing stay!! The house had the most amazing views, tons of space, great kitchen. We felt right at home. The area is gorgeous. It really feels like one of the last undeveloped places on earth. Dirt roads and lots of nature right at the front door! We had a pair of toucans and a pair of Scarlet Mccaws keeping us company. The moneys stopped by to pick bananas, and we had an iguana keeping un company at the pool. It is a really special place! The bedrooms were super comfortable and very well cooled so we slept great. All the recommendations for excursions (deep sea fishing, nature hikes, horseback riding etc.) were all amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

At Andy’s place the adventure comes to you. People pay to be taken out into the jungle for tours to see wildlife that showed up in our yard with no effort. The road to matopalo is rough - can’t be passed without 4wd. I wish we’d had higher suspension in ours but we managed. Stop at the bakery and the BM supermarket in PJ for food and stock up. There is no reason to return to PJ during your stay at Andy’s if you have enough food/drinks. Bring coconut oil for your legs to prevent sand fleas (this applies to all Costa Rica) deet also works but natural is better. I would call the experience *top notch glamping* you’re really outdoors and one with nature the whole time. Unbelievable surroundings with a bed and pillows, hot running water and a working range. Perfect for my family who’s used to campervan camping. Backwash bay was perfect for swimming. Andy’s place was perfect for watching surfers, sunrises and sunsets. Keep an eye out for bioluminescence after sunset!! & THE SWING AH!

Gilles place is magical. I loved every minute of my month long stay there and was incredibly sad to leave. The views are incredible and the wildlife is abundant I don’t surf but the beaches here are delightful for long walks and I really enjoyed taking dips in the cool river and floating in the tide pools. I loved the daily workout of climbing the steep hill but if you are not very fit you’d be wise to rent a 4x4 or an ATV to get around during your stay. Lastly, Gilles presence on the property was an added bonus! He has lived in the area for a long time and offers great suggestions. He is very respectful of your space / privacy but quick to respond to questions and consistently jovial if you happen to see him outside. Highly recommend!!!

The place is beautiful, the house too. Very well maintained and spacious, with all the amenities. The green area is great for children or pets, the pool is great. Everything is just as shown in the photographs. A little far from the beaches but the house is so nice that we didn't want to go out much anyway.

Great place to stay!!

Candy and Gerardo are very loving, helpful hosts. We enjoyed the time with you very much. Super fast Wi-Fi. Many nice routes nearby.

Is this place as described by Wade (Thomas)? No. It is even better!
