About this property

Beach Front Home with pool and Breathtaking Ocean views!!

Casa Alegre is a 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath 3 level house that sits on the beautiful black sand beach of Playa Junquillal. Surrounded by lush green gardens. You arrive at the Mexican tile and slate winding stairs that bring you to the main house. This floor has 180-degree views of the Ocean. The fully equipped kitchen has a stainless-steel refrigerator, oven, cook top and dishwasher. The laundry room is located behind the kitchen and there is also a ½ bath on this floor. The main house has 3 ceiling fans, flat screen Tv with cable service and fiber optics WiFi service. The oversized windows of the main living area allow for the breeze and sounds of the Ocean to fill the room. There are lounge chairs and a couch in the living area and a dining table for 6, all with Ocean views. Should you require the use of the air conditioner, this area can be closed off with accordion glass doors for complete comfort. The master bedroom with a king size bed is on this floor and also has Ocean views with a private balcony with a bistro set to enjoy your morning coffee. The master bedroom has a ceiling fan, closet, private full bath with shower stall and air conditioning.

Leaving the main house there is another set of Mexican tile and slate stairs that lead to the 3rd floor sundeck. Enjoy the jacuzzi tub while sipping on a cocktail watching the sunset. Great area for sunbathing or to start your morning with Yoga and meditation.

The swimming pool area is at ground level between the back of the house and the Ocean. Here you can enjoy the gas grill and picnic table with seating for 6. The 2 separate guest rooms are pool side and each have its own private entrance. Sliding glass doors with screens allow you to listen to the Ocean waves crashing and all the sounds that nature has to offer. Each guest bedroom has private bathrooms with shower stalls, closets, ceiling fans and air condition, for your comfort. As the guest bedrooms are pool side, it is NOT recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 12 to sleep here.

Between the pool and beach is a sandy area covered naturally Almond trees where you can take naps during the day or have a private massage. Sit out by our private Palapa Rancho where you can enjoy the Ocean under over, take long walks on our amazing black sand beach, maybe see turtles laying eggs or baby turtles hatching, maybe see a whale or 2 passing by or surf just a few steps north of Casa Alegre, the options are endless.

Casa Alegre is a great option for both a romantic get-away for 2 or a family holiday.

Beautiful location and views! Will Stay here again.

This unit is very nice; exactly as described and shown in the photos. Beautiful views of the ocean from the main floor and rooftop patio. The black sand beach is absolutely wonderful, and almost entirely empty. The open living/dining/kitchen area is very nice, and the kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms were nice and clean. We appreciated the AC in the main room and bedrooms. The check-in/check-out were both in person, thorough, professional, and friendly. I might add the grounds are well maintained and beautiful, and the house is gated. As stated previously, we will stay here again on a future visit to Costa Rica.

Great get-away

This was our first Costa Rica trip and it didn't disappoint. The house is rustic, but has everything you need and the location is amazing. The top deck in particular is worth every penny. If you're looking for something out of the way, I'd definitely recommend this stay. We loved it.

Unique Beach front paradise

This property had everything my family was looking for in a relaxing secluded beach side vacation! We had the most amazing time enjoying the wild life including a pack of monkeys and raccoons that visited through out our stay! We felt safe with Fernando the house keeper staying on the property, as well as a good security system. The pool was beautiful and relaxing and roof top sun sets were magical. If you are looking to unwind on almost private beach this is the spot!

We loved Casa Alegre!

We had a great week at Casa Alegre. House is just as pictured. We felt like we spent the week in a postcard! Brenda was professional and quick to respond to any inquiries, even right from the start of our booking. Fernando was a pleasure to have on the premises and was attentive to the needs of our party. We hope to return in the future. Thank you for a great vacation. Pura vida!

Beautiful beach location

The beach was the best feature. The house is nice and Fernando and Bracsi, the onsite staff, were responsive and nice. The property manager was also very responsive. The only frustration we had was all the door locks, each with a different key, for each bedroom and the living space as well as the external house gate and a remote control for the property gate.

Incredible home, incredible view

Casa Allegra is a gem! The house is terrific. The pool is refreshing. The outdoor shower is amazing after a walk on the beautiful beach. Most of the time my wife and I were the only people on the beach at all. The water runs over the fine sand and looks like glass for miles. The rooftop offers a bath experience like no other. Brenda is terrific!

Highly recommended

Casa Alegre is the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had! Gorgeous property, fabulous house, incredible views, perfect pool, turtle fun, and - the best part - having Brenda and Fernando to help with any and everything. Stayed with 4 friends and we didn’t want to leave. Our favorite night was having Juan Carlos and Rosa prepare a gourmet meal for us at home. Also enjoyed Guacamaya, Mundo Milo, and Lola’s for dinners out. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Wonderful experience

Casa Alegre is beautiful - we are so glad we chose to VRBO instead of staying in a resort/hotel! We had a great time and felt completely comfortable and safe the whole time we were there. Brenda was quick with her correspondence and Fernando, the property manager, made us feel welcome and well cared for. Playa Junquillal is a quaint and inviting town - we bought our food at the local grocery store and made most of our meals at the house. We also ate at the Playa Junquillal EcoResort, which was fabulous. We would highly recommend Casa Alegre to anyone looking to truly experience the culture and lifestyle of Costa Rica!

Truly a paradise....

If it was possible to give a 6 th star for exceptional quality , I would happily provide it. From the moment we arrived, Brenda made us feel at home and relaxed. The home has everything one could possible need including a roof top dining or setting area with a jacuzzi for star gazing. The beaches are exceptional and rival any I have walked or swam in including Hawaii I can’t say enough about the peaceful remote location. It’s a truly a Paradise where time stands and you can leave all your stresses behind . Thank you all for making or stay memorable,...

Pleasant, needs updates

The pictures on line are older, and do not reflect present conditions. We enjoyed our stay, great location. BUT, the place badly needs to be updated and is not well maintained. Just a lot of little things. The biggest problem was that the host was not truthful when asked about the hot tub. I specifically asked if it was working (because of earlier reviews) and was told it was working, it was not, probably has not worked in awhile, the pump motor is buried in sand. We loved the wildlife, howler monkeys in the morning, a family of raccoons, and the iguanas. Not the cleanest place, the floors were swept but not mopped. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very quaint and we enjoyed our stay, bit a lot of maintenance and updates need to be done, such as the shower head in the master bathroom.

What Can I say....Amazing

We stayed at Casa Alegra for my birthday week, and it was amazing! The home was absolutely perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beach. The grounds manager, Fernando, could not have been any better. When we needed something from the local store, he rode his bike into town for us, as we did not have transportation. The black sand beach that is right outside your doorstep is gorgeous. The pool was a nice amenity to have to cool off since April is hot in Junqullal. Brenda is an awesome home owner, and was very helpful in planning anything we needed. We had Chef Garrett come to the home one evening and cook us an amazing steak and lobster dinner to celebrate. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone who is looking to get away from everything and relax. We will be travelling back to Costa Rica and will be renting from Brenda again in a different city. Thank you so much for a fantastic birthday Brenda!!!!!

A slice of paradise

My friend and I stayed for a week at this property and it did not dissapoint. It is located near the end of a dirt track, I would recommend a 4x4 although not entirely necessary. We we greeted by the house keepers Fernando and Bracsi who showed us around and gave us the keys. First impressions were as it was portrayed in the pictures. The place is kept very clean and tidy , there is pretty much everything you need there, a home from home. The wildlife was wonderful, eagles , humming birds, lizards crabs, butterflies etc. Sitting on the top deck looking out over the ocean with a large JD watching the sun go down is a memory I will treasure forever. In the morning sitting at the table having breakfast looking out over the garden and to the Pacific was a fabulous way to start the day. I could go on but I will summarise by saying that I hope to return one day in the not too distant future. Many thanks for letting us stay at your lovely home.

Amazing House and Management

My wife and I stayed at Casa Alegre for 3 nights and it was absolutely perfect! Brenda, the property manager was highly communicative and helpful throughout. Within one hour of arriving she called to let us know that the sea turtle hatchery was about to release some babies into the ocean. My wife and I went down there immediately (it’s only 1 mile away) and got to see it thanks to Brenda. What a great surprise! Fernando was incredibly kind as well, showed us the property, and lives on the property if you ever need anything. You barely see him, but it’s nice knowing he’s around if needed. The property is also beautiful. You are steps from the beautiful black sand beach, and it’s rare to see more than a few people on the beach. You almost have it all to yourself. Watching sunsets on the rooftop was our favorite part of the stay. We spent the first 3 nights of our trip at the Westin Playa Conchal and then the final 3 nights here. It was great to see multiple places, but enjoyed our stay here more than the Westin. We would definitely go back and thanks to Brenda and Fernando for making it such a great experience.

More Rested and Relaxed than Ever!

We are sitting in the Liberia airport, waiting for a flight back to Denver and SO HAPPY that we have missed 2 major snowstorms during our 2 week stay. Casa Alegre was a very nice retreat from our very busy, stressful lives, and as we sit here, we are more relaxed and refreshed than we have been in the past year. The absolute star of this house is the outdoor space. The rooftop deck is INCREDIBLE for morning coffee, cocktails (and dinner) at sunset. We waited until the last night to have Fernando (onsite manager) to ask to fill the jacuzzi tub and wish we would have asked on the first day! Soaking in the tub with a glass of wine, whilst watching the sunset is an incredible memory that we will never forget. The pool is so refreshing to dip into when you come back from hot beach, or if you are like us, to sit by for half of the day. There was always bright sunshine (my fave) and plenty of shade if needed (hubby's fave). The kitchen is well equipped, and Gio will even DO YOUR GROCERY SHOPPING for you before you arrive! Bedrooms - the beds are all a bit hard, but after a day, we slept easily. It was a perfect, restful, relaxing trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Guacamaya Lodge for dinner (HIGHLY) and APV Tours for an adventure tour. Both were beyond great. Pura Vida!

Perfect house to chill and recharge

From the outset, communication with property manager Brenda Carlin was extraordinary. She was in daily contact when we needed her and responsive almost immediately. Great info at the beginning and throughout our stay. Fernando couldn't have been better at helping us at times and not bothering us otherwise. Like many locals, his English is very limited so be prepared. The house is very true to the photos and very comfortable for an extended stay. We spent many days just lounging and reading around the gorgeous pool where there's a shady area at all times of day and the water temp was perfect relief from the warmer air. It's clear the owner has been diligent in investing in the house with recent extensive window replacements, updated bathrooms and kitchen, and plenty of what is needed to do meals at home. More comfortable seating and better lighting in the seating area would be nice and in keeping with the other upgrades. Extremely easy access to miles of gray sand beach, which was mostly deserted during our April visit. Turtle nests are evident on the upper beach and we say pelican flocks as large as 60 at a time. It's wonderful to see an area where nature is still triving and humans haven't yet pushed things into decline. All in all, a great restful vacation and kudos to the staff for superb support.
