Jeffery

What a relaxing and wonderful time we had at Villa Tiquicia! Jeff was out of the country during our stay, but he still made sure we had everything we needed and provided us with wonderful recommendations for activities and restaurants. Oscar was absolutely amazing and quickly felt like family. He has the most incredible stories and shared so much knowledge about Costa Rican culture and life. We learned so much from him! He connected so easily with my three sons, whether they were talking about different genres of music, video games, or food. It truly felt like we were spending our vacation with another family member. Oscar went above and beyond to make our stay special, and his beautiful spirit made our experience even more memorable. Thank you, Jeff, for being such a wonderful host and for sharing your lovely home with us. And a very special thank you to Oscar for your kindness, your stories, your guidance, and for making us feel so welcome.

We’ve struggled with what to write because nothing can justly communicate the incredible memories and the unique experiences created on this trip. First and foremost, Oscar was a wonderful host-gracious, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. We didn’t count on learning so much about Costa Rican culture and history and are so thankful that we did.! The stories Oscar told and the history he relayed to us during our car rides made the experience of being in another country that much more complete. He stopped at a local fruit stand for rambutans for my daughter and helped find local fishing spots for my son. We loved that he brought us to a less crowded beach, where we enjoyed a surf lesson and playing in the waves. Oscar, you definitely are 10/10 with our family! Thank you so much for everything! Lastly, the house is beautiful! We enjoyed the pool and there is wildlife everywhere, iguanas, frogs, geckos, toucans and monkeys. Waking up to titi monkeys on your porch is priceless!
