Paradise in Costa Rica
The View was Great. The infinity pool was exquisite. The house itself was just as represented or better. The hotel beach restaurant just short walk from property was a really neat amenity to enjoy. Tho the beach is more of a surf than swim spot, it was entirely possible to spend time playing in the shallows!

Great Week at Casa Fuego
We had an amazing time during our stay at Casa Fuego. The communication and information ahead of and during the stay were very thorough and helpful. Meaghan and Jarrod set up a chat group for us and during our stay both Meaghan and Jarrod, as well as Mike, PJ, Rafa, and the pool guy all helped us out and were available to answer questions and assist us. Thank you to all! The house, pool, views were all spectacular - better than the pics. The beach was clean with beautiful sand just outside the gate. To the south there were some really cool volcanic rock formations and cove a little way down that had some really good snorkeling – saw tons of beautiful fish, including 2 puffer fish and a colorful eel. The Hotel Playa Negra was just a 2 minute walk on the beach to get meals and drinks in their Tiki restaurant/bar overlooking the beach and the surf. Lots of fun watching the surfers – some really talented ones too. Had some great meals at local restaurants, including a very special evening at Mycelium – great story behind the owners travels worldwide and path to opening their restaurant in Playa Negra. Look up Kamu – her cookbooks are fantastic. Drove up to Tamarindo for an afternoon and had lunch. Very different vibe there – busy, lots of traffic, very touristy, beach not nearly as nice as Playa Negra. Was glad to get back to the serenity of Casa Fuego. All in all a great trip – would rent here again and recommend it to others.

Great Place, really should be a 4.5 -- I don't give easy 5s.
The overall property is really a paradise, but there are just a few things which make it more of a 4.5 star. (I will say, I am a hard grader and I figured more people read the 4 versus 5s to get a real idea of the place.) The place really is great, updated kitchen, wonderful pool, felt nearly like a private beach. The reason I knocked it down is because the primary mattress was hard, husband was less bothered by it. And, the living room furniture was uncomfortable. Really didn't get a relaxing sit anywhere except outside on the lounge chairs -- but I can't sleep out there. We only went and looked at the second flat -- that had a kitchen that could use a little updating (but I imagine most couples would just put their kids out there and have most meals in the main eating area.) I was a little unnerved by all their warnings about locking everything up in the vault... but never felt unsafe. Property manager were great and attentive. Along with no balcony rails, their are no handrails down the interior stairs and the steps are higher than uniform height. I nearly stumbled a couple times and had to be very mindful (and I teach yoga) -- might not be the best for drunks or small kids. Finally, they need handles on the exterior of glass doors, so it's easier for people to slide the doors closed from the outside (so I don't have to nag my son to not cool the outside -- I do not think it's a deterrent for thieves) & curtains on the upstairs windows to block the hot afternoon sun just before the wonderful sunsets each and every night. A/C was great. Overall, would rent it again, just wish for more comfortable furniture.

Christmas at Casa Fuego
We were so pleased with the accommodations. The house was a very livable, comfortable and really great space for our family. The location is the absolute best, that could not have been any better! Thanks for being so responsive to all of our questions and needs, we had a great time and will definitely rent it again.

Incredible!
If you are looking for a house with amazing views, an awesome pool, incredible location with great surf in your backyard, fantastic indoor/outdoor living space, and with super helpful property managers, this is the house for you. If it's not obvious, we loved staying here.

Casa Fuego - Pros and Cons
We just returned from a two-week stay at Casa Fuego with 4 adults and 1 teenager. (Second week was 2 adults and 1 teenager). I want to compliment the property managers Jarrod and Meagan for their hospitality, helpfulness, and responsiveness during the booking process and during our stay. Having lived in Playa Negra for 12 years, they have the local experience needed to make recommendations for tours, restaurants, etc. They were never intrusive (living in a nearby neighborhood), but were always quickly available for any needs we had. They even brough extra fans for use in the non-AC living area. I will focus this review on Pros, Cons, and recommendations. Pros: Location right on the beech with incredible sunset views. If you surf, you couldn't ask for a better spot. The pool is extremely clean with good outdoor furniture. Plenty of beach towels and bath towers are provided. Local restaurants (inexpensive and luxury) are nearby. Privacy is good. Security, considering you are in a third-world country is good. Felt safe at all times in the neighborhood and on beach. Room ACs worked extremely well. Beds were comfortable and not worn. Unit was well cleaned when we arrived. Plenty of kitchenware, pots, pans, and appliances. Internet was reliable. Security guards in neighborhood at night. Good safe for valuables. Cons: Ceiling fans need to be replaced for better air flow. Screen doors to outside in living area need to be replaced. Microwave needs to be replaced. You will have some bugs (it's a humid tropical environment and expected, so not a complaint). A few others things could be touched-up or improved. No clothes dryer, so you have to line dry clothes. Washer is located in separate, dimly lit room off of garage, so not the most convenient location. No dishwasher. About 5 miles of rough dirt roads to reach house, so SUV highly recommended. Drive to grocery store is 30-40 minutes, but only about 7-8 miles. Recommendations; Download Google Map of Costa Rica prior to arrival. Cell signal availability for data throughout the country can be spotty, which can cause navigation issues when map needs to update. Be prepared for the rough roads. You won't get stuck, but the driving is slow due to ruts, pot holes, etc. DO NOT rent a sedan. You will want an SUV. Note to owner: Didn't know how much I would miss a clothes dryer. Moving washer to better location and adding dryer would be a huge upgrade. Upgrade ceiling fans. Fix screen doors.

Relax at a great house and incredible location
If you are looking for a comfortable, clean and spacious place to relax – look no further. You really can't beat the location of this beach front property. As soon as we arrived, our stresses melted away. Our girls immediately walked down to the beach where they explored, surfed and played in the waves all week long. Activity level? You choose. We could easily just hang out and not feel obliged to do anything because we felt so remote from the hustle and bustle of towns. But at the same time Jarrod and Meaghan were right there to suggest local eating places (they were all good!) and close-by activities like zip lining. We spent most of our time on the back deck/pool and the bedrooms were very comfortable with the quiet air-conditioning. The entire house was laid out in a way that just made everything easy. When we did venture out, Tamarindo was a nice place to explore and gave us an opportunity to shop in a grocery store more to what we are used to in the States (AutoMercado). As all the other reviews have stated, Jarrod and Meaghan were so helpful before and during our stay. If anything came up, they were quick to respond and their recommendations were all great. Thanks Jarrod and Meaghan!

Excellent!
If you are looking for quiet, gorgeous views, amazing pool, place to escape, Casa Fuego is perfect! Playa Negra is remote and quiet leaving time to really relax. Casa Fuego is right on the best part of the beach. We enjoyed sunsets every night from the pool deck as well as the second floor deck which has an amazing expansive view of the ocean. We spent 90% of our time hanging out in the living space around the pool, which was by far the best pool out of all of the houses I have rented from VRBO thus far. My husband and son both surfed right outside of our house. We were able to sit on our deck and watch them surf. We also enjoyed many meals at Playa Negra Hotel which is walking distant on the beach. Thank you Jarrod and Meaghan for being so responsive to all our calls and emails. It was a pleasure to deal with you both!
