In pictures this place was perfect, but unfortunately when we arrived there was an active construction site right in front of the building. Not only was a giant crane obstructing the view, but you could hear the construction workers conversations from inside the home. They worked from sun up to sun down, including on Sunday. We also had trouble with the air conditioners making a ton of noise/not working at all. Andrea was very responsive and sent a technician out, but ultimately the AC did not work in one of the bedrooms. We understand that a lot of this is outside of the control of our host, but unfortunately that was not reflected in the price that we paid. The home is also a bit outside of the main town, it is a trek to get there, and our 4x4 was absolutely necessary.
Host Response
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. The nearby construction is unfortunately outside of our control. To reflect the temporary construction activity, the villa was offered at a significantly discounted rate compared to its usual price. The ocean view shown in our listing remains the same, and the construction does not obstruct the view featured in our photos. Regarding the air conditioning, we responded immediately after you contacted us and arranged for a technician to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Our location in Ocotal is accurately described in the listing, and a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for this area, as is common in this part of Costa Rica. We remain committed to providing responsive service, excellent value, and a great experience for all of our guests.
Beautiful location with great review. Felt safe with security and excellent responsive host.
Lovely place. We had a wonderful time. The place and the view were spectacular. Note that the drive up is very steep.
Our stay at this enclave was exceptional! The host was incredibly kind, responsible, and helpful, making sure we had a comfortable experience. The stunning views, great amenities, and peaceful yet convenient location made it perfect—and the thoughtful departure gift was a wonderful touch!
We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The beautiful view was the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while listening to the sounds of tropical birds (could hear monkeys in the distance) — so peaceful and relaxing. The condo itself was very clean and actually much bigger than it looked in the pictures! The host, Andrea was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to provide me with a yoga mat, which I really appreciated. The area felt very private and secure, and we even had the pool completely to ourselves during our stay. It’s worth noting that there’s nothing within walking distance, so you’ll definitely want a car. Also, the road leading up to the condo has a very steep incline! Overall, if you’re looking for a clean, spacious, and peaceful getaway with stunning views, this is a great choice!

What an incredible view! We didn’t want to leave. Andrea was lovely to communicate with - so helpful! We loved coming home to the peace and quiet of the balcony every evening. Comfy beds! Everything you’ll need for an amazing vacation. Try the Lookout Restaurant - the view, service, and food is a perfect way to end a day. Don’t miss!
Andrea was a fantastic host ordered us a taxi and dinner was easy to communicate with was quick to deal with anything that would make our stay perfect has a beautiful place with a fantastic view and a heated pool the king suite is amazing loved our stay and was perfect for 5 friends would highly recommend
We had a really great time here. The view from the balcony is magnificent and the place is really well appointed (including the grill). The apartment is stunning and every detail has been provided including lovely linens. Ocatal and Coco are fun in a laid back way and ditto the other beaches and Andrea’s suggestions all hit the bullseye. What’s not to love? Missing it already.
