We came to Costa Rica because where we usually go for the month of March - Sanibel, Florida - was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. The price was right and CR is relatively easy to get to SJO from Boston via JetBlue. We looked for a house within 2 hours of SJO so that friends and fam could easily come without wasting a day driving, or taking additional flights. Casa Tweed was great - exactly as pictured. The 4th room is a den with a pullout sofa - perfectly fine for a nite or 2 - but no more than that. The pool was great for doing laps and hanging out, and we loved hearing all of the birds (macaws, toucans, hummingbirds etc etc) and monkeys in the trees overhead. Plenty of sun and plenty of shade for those who wanted it. easy drive to the 3 Esterillos beaches, but not really walkable (VERY hilly!). The house is in a secure neighborhood with guards at the gatehouse 24/7. When we arrived we were greeted by a bottle of wine, some local coffee and 5 gallons of bottled water - much appreciated! The a/c worked great at night, we turned it off all day when the doors were open. Kitchen was well equipped and 10 chairs and leaves for dining room table! management company responded VERY quickly to the few questions we had. Location is great if you want to be on the mid Pacific coast - we went south as Domical and up to Jaco/Tarcoles often. 3 hours plus up to Arenal and Monteverde. (If you go to Arenal - stay at Arenal Lodge!). One or 2 good restaurants in Esterillos - otherwise not great eating out options. That was fine for us - kitchen was great and there was a brand new grill so we could cook fish that had been caught right on our beach that day! The house had beach chairs, shopping bags, beach towels and noodles for the pool. Sheets and towels were better than in most rentals. 2 thumbs up for Casa Tweed!
