The views, sunsets, scarlet macaws, howler monkeys and kind workers really make this a very very special place. This is an experience that my wife and children will cherish for years to come.

Been there 4 times...looking forward to #5!
Wonderful place to stay. Renting Las Lapas is like having your own piece of paradise. There were your typical problems of staying in a 3rd world country, but Osa Property Management is in constant contact with the on-site property manager, and she responds immediately. The newly-tiled pool and the ran home out back are luxurious add-ons Pura vida!

Dreaming of going back
We spent 7 days at Casa Lapas and have been dreaming of going back ever since. The spacious house was perfect for our family of 5. The private pool was a great place to relax in the evening watching the sunset over the ocean in the distance. The wood rocking chairs were the perfect place to have the first cup of coffee in the morning. There are many great restaurants in the area (small and family owned) and amazing day trips that kept us busy. Traveling to Costa Rica has been our families favorite vacation and we do plan to return!

Es un refugio donde las personas encuentran la paz y tranquilidad
La casa es espectacular, la vista hacia montañas y mar es increible. Las fotos que se muestran en la pagina son iguales a la propiedad. Es un refugio donde las personas encuentran la paz y tranquilidad que andan buscando. Los locales del pueblo son muy amables y generosos. Aca ud puede andar en bicicleta, correr y caminar, ademas de ir a las diferentes playas. Preferiblemente ir en vehiculo 4x4. Nick y Abigail son muy agradable y se preocupa por el bienestar de sus huespedes. Recomiendo mucho el lugar, es una zona muy interesante.

Incredible Place!
The house in San Buenaventura is an incredible place. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful place to stay in Costa Rica. It has all of the modern amenities you could ask for and then more.
