Greatest vacation ever!!

We absolutely loved your home from the start to the finish. The groundskeeper was excellent. The maid made us breakfast every day. They were very delightful. There were eight of us that stayed there and all eight said it’s probably the best vacation they’ve ever been on. They said just so so beautiful and what a wonderful country to visit

Great House with a Great View!

The view from the back of the house is exactly like the pictures - absolutely beautiful! The house was also as described. We spent our days seeing the sites and spent our late afternoon/evenings in the pool/hot tub enjoying the beautiful view. Great house!

Highly Recommend

Eric’s place is magnificent, beautiful surroundings with spectacular views. Melissa & Odon were great & helpful! The place was clean & well maintained. We were a group of 3 families and felt very comfortable with this property, totally recommend to anyone considering spending time in the Los Suenos area. And it was true, we were visited by 10 white faced monkeys, parrots, iguanas, yellow breasted birds, & a tucan 5 minutes before we had to leave! Very enjoyable vacation

Spectacular Views

This house was perfect! Incredible location with stunning views! Short golf cart ride to the marina. Macaws flying over daily, monkeys down the road which the grandkids loved. Iguanas galore and the housekeepers were so nice. Will definitely be back. Los Sueños is our absolute favorite place in Costa Rica! Oh and fishing was epic! Highly recommend staying at Casa Carvajal!

Family Holiday in Paradise

We had an amazing time relaxing in a very comfortable home away from home…views for days…and easy access to activities, restaurants & shopping. The on site daily staff to clean, make breakfast and ensure everything was in proper order was a special extra touch. We’ll be back for sure and recommend to other friends and family!

Awesome vacation home and service!

We had the best vacation with friends in Costa Rica! The home was beyond incredible. Pictures can't capture everything. Fabulous location, stunning views and wildlife in the backyard (monkey's, iguana's, geckos, macaw's, crabs...). We were so well cared for and felt right at home. I can't recommend this property enough. Can't wait to go back!!!

Amazing home!

We loved our stay at Casa Carvajal. Eric, Melissa and Odon make a great team. Melissa made us breakfast every morning and cleaned the house and Odon shopped for us. He also took care of the whole property during our stay. We had a few issues but Odon quickly fixed everything. We loved the pool. We hired Jose the private chef and had delicious dinners made by Jess and Oscar. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you.

5 couples / 10 ppl stayed for a week. Communication with Eric to book property smooth and efficient and intros to all travel services turned out impeccable - from airport travel to day trips to Chefs. Most stunning view any of us have seen and we are all seasoned travelers in our 50’s and 60’s. Staff Odon and Melissa made the stay that much more special. Pura Veda

Once in a lifetime vacation

Our family experienced a once in a lifetime vacation at Casa Caraval. From the monkeys that visited, the amazing view, to the groundskeeper and Melissa the maid, we loved every second of it. Our group ranged from ages 6-73, and everyone hated to leave to go home. I say once in a lifetime, but I have a feeling we will be back sooner rather than later!!

Definitely staying here again

The house and location was beautiful. This was our second time staying at this house. The first since it’s been remodeled. I love the layout of both house and property. The staff, Melissa and Odon were both very helpful and kept the place looking great! Eric was great at communicating with us. We spent a lot of time in the pool. How could you not, with that amazing view. Can’t wait to stay at the house again.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Carvajal

My Father was born and raised in Costa Rica but currently resides in San Antonio, TX. He purchased the lot approx. 15 years ago with the idea to one day build his dream beach home . After 3 years of designing and planning, he finally began construction on this Costa Rican masterpiece, . The intention was never to rent the house and all of the furnishings are very high end and purchased for personal use. We would love to share our family home with yours!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this lot about 15 years ago because of the view. You will not find a better setting in Costa Rica. We constructed our dream home on the lot about 9 years ago and we could not ask for anything better. The neighborhood is gated and very private and safe for our family. Also, the homes in the neighborhood are primarily owned by Costa Rican families so we get a true cultural immersion while we stay there and keep far enough away from the touristy type crowds in the main resort areas.

What makes this property unique

Best view in Costa Rica. Private beach in neighborhood. Scarlett Macaws, monkeys, iguanas, you name it, right in our back yard
