Casa Arcoiris and Sonrisa Ocean View Ojochal - Houses for Rent in Osa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We had a wonderful time here. The view in particular was magnificent. And the house was very comfortable and clean with a lovely swimming pool.

We hebben hier een geweldige tijd gehad. Vooral het uitzicht was schitterend. En het huis was zeer comfortabel en schoon met een heerlijk zwembad.

The house is as described. There is no ocean view because the trees have grown, but that's understandable. A 4x4 car is needed because the road is gravel and has some holes until you reach the house, but you can get there. You'll find a mini-supermarket for quick items, but if you need anything else, there's a supermarket where you can get everything, a good coffee shop, bakeries, and a pharmacy. We had a problem, but communication with the manager was good. She was always attentive, and in the end they resolved it.

La casa tal y como se describe, no hay vista al mar porque los árboles han crecido pero es comprensible. Se necesita un carro 4x4 porque la carretera es de lastre y con algunos huecos hasta llegar a la casa pero se llega. Encontrarán un mini super para cosas rápidas pero si necesitan algo mas han un supermercado en donde se consigue de todo, una buena cafetería y panaderías, farmacia Tuvimos un problema pero la comunicación con la encargada fue buena, siempre atenta, al final lo resolvieron.

Great stay! Large, very beautiful and clean villa. It is located at the top of a mountain, and the path to get there is unpaved. It takes a 15-20 minute drive from the main road to get there. We didn't go out in the evening for that reason. Super quiet. Beautiful view! There is a small river on the way there, and it was really pleasant to swim in it! There were often power cuts that lasted between 10 minutes and 2 hours, which seems to be the norm in the area. We didn't have a flashlight available in the house, and the host sent us one the next day!

Super séjour! Grande villa très belle et propre. Elle est situé en haut d’une montagne et le chemin pour si rendre est non pavé. Il faut compter un 15-20 minutes de route en sortant de la route principale pour s’y rendre. Nous ne sortions pas le soir pour cette raison. Super tranquille. Vue magnifique! Il y a une petite rivière sur le chemin pour s’y rendre où il a été vraiment plaisant de s’y baigner! Il y a souvent eu des coupures d’électricité qui durait entre 10 minutes et 2 h ce qui semble être la norme dans le secteur. Nous n’avions pas de lampe de poche disponible dans la maison et l’hôte nous en a fait parvenir le lendemain!

Thank you so much, Edith, for the wonderful 5-star review! We're so glad Casa Arcoiris y Sonrisa delivered such a beautiful and peaceful experience — the stunning views, the spacious and clean villa, the tranquility, and that lovely little river on the way to the property are all part of what makes this corner of Ojochal so truly special. We appreciate your understanding about the power cuts — as you noted, these are a common occurrence in the area and we always do our best to keep guests comfortable during any interruptions. We also want to sincerely apologize that a flashlight was not readily available in the home upon your arrival — that is a standard safety item we provide in all of our properties and we have since ensured one is in place at Casa Arcoiris y Sonrisa so future guests are never without one. We're glad we were able to get one to you promptly the following day! Thank you for choosing Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas — we'd love to welcome you back, whether it's to Casa Arcoiris y Sonrisa again or to any of our 70+ properties across Costa Rica!

This was an amazing place to stay, easily exceeded all of our expectations once we arrived. Perfect place for those who want a private, calm, and peaceful place to stay.

We’re so glad Casa Sonrisas y Arcoiris exceeded your expectations and provided the private, calm, and peaceful stay you were looking for in Ojochal. We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome you back again. Pura vida! Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas

Privacy is the highlight of this place; it's incredibly private. If I had to mention one area for improvement, I would recommend replacing the mattresses on the beds, but otherwise, everything else is great.

La privacidad es la estrella de este lugar, increíblemente privado, si tengo que decir una área de mejora, les recomiendo cambiar los colchones de la camas, pero lo demás muy bien

ThI place was pristine! The road there is a bit rough but it’s so worth it. The views are amazing. Just was responsive.

I loved it—quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, with a spectacular view. The house was super spacious, the pool was clean and large, and the kitchen was very well equipped. In short, we were very satisfied with our stay.

Me encantó, silencioso, tranquilo y rodeado de naturaleza, una vista espectacular y la casa súper amplia, la piscina limpia y grande, la cocina muy bien equipada, en fin…quedamos muy satisfechos con la estancia

Excellent service, they respond immediately to any situation. We are extremely grateful, as our car broke down, and they found us a mechanic and a taxi. Always willing to help. The Very nice, clean house with a beautiful view. I had never seen so many different kinds of birds, just by being at the pool.

Excelente atención, responden de inmediato cualquier situación. Sumamente agradecidos, ya que nuestro carro falló, y nos encontraron mecánico y taxi. Siempre dispuestos a colaborar. La Casa muy linda, limpia y una vista preciosa. Nunca había visto tantos tipos de aves, con solo estar en la piscina.

Thank you very much for your great review and for taking the time to write it. We’re glad we could assist during your stay and that you enjoyed the home, the beautiful views, and the birdlife. We’d love to welcome you back again. Pura vida! Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas

Our accommodation well exceeded our expectations.  The location is stunning. It was peaceful,  we spent hours just listening to the ocean, birds..and watching all there was to see. The communication was top notch. We were greeted with a beautiful welcome basket that was such a thoughtful touch.  Staying here was a dream. We can't thank you enough ❤️☀️

The villa matches the photos BUT on 3 nights spent there we had a 24-hour water cut (for which we were told to manage with the swimming pool... finally delivery of bottled water which did not solve the toilet/shower problem), then a 12-hour power cut (no more air conditioning in particular...). These inconveniences are a priori related to 2 thunderstorms but seem to be a recurring problem because there are flashlights on the night tables.

La villa correspond bien aux photos MAIS sur 3 nuits passées sur place nous avons eu une coupure d'eau de 24h (pour laquelle on nous a dit de nous débrouiller avec la piscine... finalement livraison d'eau en bouteille ce qui ne réglait pas le pb wc/douche), puis une coupure d'électricité de 12 heures (plus de clim notamment...). Ces désagréments sont à priori liés à 2 orages mais semblent être un pb récurrent car il y a des lampes de poches sur les tables de nuit.

Super séjour! La maison était formidable!

Thank you very much for this stay, the house was beautiful and the management was always available to answer our questions!

Fantastic place! We truly loved this home other than the beds not being very comfortable. We truly enjoyed it here with breath taking views and especially being our first time in Costa Rica we felt very safe here.

We are sorry you did not have a 5-star experience as all of the subcategories were ranked with 5-stars. We strive for 5-stars for all Guests and hope we can Host you again to show you. Pura Vida Osa Property Management

The house is beautiful, just like the photos. Everything was super clean, with an amazing ocean view, perfect to enjoy as a family. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, and the host also left us details such as coffee, fruits and condiments. He always responded quickly and very kindly. We had a great time!

La casa es preciosa, tal cual que en las fotos. Todo estaba súper limpio, con una vista increíble al mar, perfecta para disfrutar en familia. La cocina tenía de todo lo que podíamos necesitar, y además el anfitrión nos dejó detalles como café, frutas y condimentos. Siempre respondió rápido y con mucha amabilidad. ¡La pasamos genial!

An excellent place to rest, very nice, with daily visits from birds including toucans. Even better than as seen in the photos

Un excelente lugar para descansar, muy agradable, con visitas diarias de pájaros incluyendo tucanes. Aún mejor que como se ve en las fotos

Great stay! Everything was clean and organized. The pool was awesome and the space was nice with am amazing view of the ocean. The other reviews are true about the neighbors.....they yelled from next door to "be quiet" when our kids were out playing on a Friday afternoon around 5. My husband went next door to talk with them and all ended up good after that. Also great location....close to all you need!

Excellent place, beautiful scenery, we will definitely be back.

Excelente lugar, un paisaje hermoso, volveremos definitivamente.

We had a few issues that were out of the property management control but they did their best to accommodate us and make sure everything was taken care of. We do appreciate the effort to make up for the inconveniences. They had fresh fruit, snacks & fresh flowers waiting for us when we arrived. The place was fantastic and the views were stunning.

Beautiful house, very comfortable with excellent views. The hosts always pending. I would definitely go back.

Hermosa casa, muy cómoda con excelentes vistas. Los anfitriones siempre pendientes. Volvería sin dudarlo.

The host changed me a day before the house initially indicated by another one that I accepted but although it was not entirely bad it was not the same as the reserved one, a little smaller than what the photos represent and with less beautiful finishes

El host me cambio un día antes la casa inicialmente indicada por otra que yo acepte pero aunque no estaba del todo mal no era igual a la reservada, un poco más pequeña de lo que representa las fotos y con acabados menos bonitos

Nice secluded location  with amazing view. Large home, well maintained pool, perfect for our family of 5. Access need 4x4, but secure and quiet area 10-15min driving from restaurants of Ojochal. We had good communication with the propriety manager. Thanks

The home was spotless and the location was beautiful The management team was communicative and easy to work with

Super at ease with the stay and service of the operator, now the house is fabulous, an incredible view, a lot of security and peace of mind!!

Super a gusto con la estadía y el servicio del operador, ahora bien la casa es fabulosa, una vista increíble, mucha seguridad y tranquilidad!!

This property has the most amazing view, and good location to Ojochal.  Spacious, and a great size for my group.  Must have 4WD.  Neighbors are close by, but we were not loud so had no issues as previous reviewers mentioned.  We felt safe with what appeared to be 24 hour gated security into the neighborhood.

Great place to stay with family. Beautiful views and open space to relax. Strongly recommend making sure you have a big enough vehicle to get to the home. Responsive host and flexible check out time.

We are sorry we didn't earn a 5-star review. During your stay you had not made us aware of any issues - nor did you write about any in your review. We provided a free late check-out and responded to all of your questions. Feel free to send us any private feedback to help us for future clients. Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas

Beautiful home with amazing views and wildlife at your doorstep! Our stay was so peaceful and a whole family of coatimundis came right up to the house and ate from the trees! One decided he was too shy when he saw me watching so he moved to the backside of the banana tree out of my sight. Hummingbirds and parrots visited too! The kitchen had everything we need and the house was fully stocked to meet our needs. Highly recommend!!

This place is a drive, and I found the view to be worth the bumpy road and the time it takes to get up/down from town to the house… (25-30mins from Uvita), my wife on the other hand didn’t think so. Otherwise it’s pretty much as represented. Pura vida

Everything is excellent!!! The house was beautiful and we received excellent care and service from Mauricio V. Super recommended the place and we definitely plan to come back!!

Excelente todo!!! La casa preciosa y recibimos una excelente atención y servicio por parte de Mauricio V. Super recomendado el lugar y definitivamente planeamos volver!!

¡Gracias por elegirnos y esperamos recibirte nuevamente en el futuro! Pura vida! Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas.

Osa was responsive. The team was helpful before, during and after. However, we lost power in the property four times… and even though it is out of their control, for a vacation spot, it was disappointing. In addition to this problem, we weren’t allowed to make the best of our stay. Our neighbors complained of noise when my group was being the quietest and respectful. One of the neighbors literally showed up to the backyard where the pool is in the middle of the night to the tell us to lower the noise. Even though I understand that it is their neighborhood (and we want to be respectful), don’t put a house for AirBnb if the people staying can’t even use the space freely. For a vacation, this felt like we were lead on to stay in the house to sleep, and not really to use the amenities. In addition to these, the fridge wasn’t working. It didn’t cool and it ruined our food. One of the Osa members dropped us at the house without electricity and just left us… in pitch black! Very disappointed

A very comfortable, practical house and the ocean and mountain views are phenomenal.

Una casa muy cómoda, práctica y la vista al mar y a la montaña es fenomenal.

Incredible place, my wife and kids enjoy the visit a lot and we will return for sure

We loved the view, beautiful, impeccable cleanliness and very good service from the host. The stay was really great

Nos encantó vista hermosa limpieza impecable y muy buena atención por parte del anfitrión en realidad estuvo genial la estadía

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Arcoiris! We decided to have the private chef come for one night as a treat and the food was amazing! We jumped into the pool every day and appreciated the view even during the rain. This was our first time to Ojochal and we will definitely be back soon. My husband really loved the design of the house too - simple, modern and beautiful! Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Make sure you set up your travel !! A 4x4 is recommended … Stop at the grocery store before going up the mountain … if you prefer the sight seeing aspect of it I would recommend the 4 hour ride … I actually enjoyed it .. but if you don’t prefer the drive then make sure you set up to go to a closer airport …

Very nice house. Ample and comfortable. Lots of light so if you’re a light sleeper bring a mask. About 20 minutes from the highway mountain up, so really need a 4x4.

Wonderful House with amazing View Three bed rooms with there own three private bathrooms that’s a big score for friends and family to come visit. def have to have Suv or 4x4 it’s a rocky bumpy road to drive up there but it’s worth it. Great neighborhoods grocery store and many restaurants and near by beach it’s absolutely perfect place to stay. Little bit complaint was the power and water was out but.. the property manager responded and get it done very quickly. Very professional and brought my birthday cake. It was thoughtful I would def go back to that same place. I can go back is because of their amazing view. Unbelievable view.

Excellent place to rest in privacy. A great host with excellent attention. The kitchen is very well equipped. We loved it!

Excelente lugar para descansar en privacidad. Un gran anfitrión con excelente atención. La cocina muy bien equipada. Nos encantó!

House is just like in the photos, but what the photos don't show is what you need to know. 1) There are 3 neighbors who are so close you can hear them snore. 2) The tiles at the sitting area outside are insanely slippery when wet, not kidding my kids used it as a slip n' slide and slid on their naked butts, completely frictionless and just waiting for someone to have a crazy accident. Other than that - you get exactly what you expect from the photos. Nice view, and a quiet neighborhood if the neighboring properties haven't been rented to a noisy group.

What a great stay and amazing house. The perfect place to stay while exploring the area and whale watching. The property management was very attentive and able to book our tours for us at a lower prices than tours I had researched on line. The house is a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the end of the day with the two other couples that joined us. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms we were very comfortable. I would recommend stopping at BM market or the minisuper on the way to the house if you need food or drink because it's probably a 20 minute drive to a big store. We saw a few restaurants along the way but we just stayed in and enjoyed our cooking and play games or swimming.

Since mine is the first review, I will write a thorough review so others can get a better feel of this property. I will divide my review between the property itself, and the host. The property itself is a 10 out of 10!!! It is an absolutely beautiful home, set in a lush tropical setting, with a view that you can never tire of! Based on the setting of the home, the sunrise and sunset are stunning, with lots of beautiful colors reflecting off the clouds. The ocean view is spectacular. The home is large and modern, with so much natural light and beautiful views from each room. The large windows really provide a connection with the surroundings. The home is very thoughtfully appointed with beach chairs, beach towels, comfortable pool-side furnishings, and a great kitchen. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning and wi-fi worked great! We did have one short power outage, which is not surprising in this area, and we appreciated the flashlights that were provided. The pool was cleaned at least twice during our 6 night stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the town of Ojochal. We took Spanish lessons from a tutor who lives in nearby Scarlet Villas, and enjoyed dinner at Citrus and breakfast at the bakery in the little town. We spent time in the beautiful river, and my son fished there. We visited the nearby waterfall, Cascada Pavon, and had a lovely swim. We also enjoyed Uvita, and visiting the Whale's Tale. Our favorite activity was a guided day hike with Enrique at Santa Lucia Falls. We enjoyed hearing the howler monkeys call each morning, and spotted two howlers in a nearby tree. We were visited by lots of birds. We loved taking in the sunset from the pool and swimming in the rain. We loved this beautiful home, and the amazing location!! The reason I did not give the property 5 stars is due to the poor communication with the hosts. First, on the day of our arrival, at 5:45pm, we were informed that the latest we could check in was 8pm. This was the first time we had been told about the 8pm checkin time. We had flown into San Jose that day, and due to the 8pm time, we were unable to stop and eat or get any food, and our day had begun at 7:30am. This created a very stressful arrival to Costa Rica, racing the clock to try to get checked in. In the end, we arrived at 7:59pm! Now, on the plus side, the host went to the store and got us some eggs and bread, to get us by until food places opened again in the morning. We really appreciated that, and would have called it even, with the lack of communicating the 8pm checkin offset by the kind gesture of getting food for us. However, the communication problems continued. When we arrived at the house, the host did not provide any instructions on the house. He actually said it was the first time he had ever been to the house. He gave us the wi-fi password and left. He alluded to an electronic info booklet, but he didn't actually send the booklet until the next day. Even then, it was mostly about the general area, and not a book on how to work things in the house. Upon arriving, we saw that the house had a major insect problem. We have stayed at other places in Costa Rica, and understand that part of staying in this beautiful nature, is that there will be some insects. But this was hundreds of insects all over the kitchen counter and a highway of ants walking all over the walls and floors of one of the bedrooms. I reached out to the host that night and asked to have an exterminator come. He said he would get in touch with me the next day to schedule a time for the exterminator to come. He never did and never sent an exterminator in our 6 day stay. There was some bug spray in the laundry room, so we sprayed the kitchen very well. It did kill the bugs. We vacuumed them up and each morning we would vacuum up the dead bugs. We were looking forward to a hot shower upon arriving after a long day of travel. However, there was no hot water. I contacted the host to ask about the hot water. He said there was solar hot water. The next morning, after the sun came up, we did have hot water. But, I thought it was strange that we would only have hot water when the sun was shining and that it wasn't disclosed in the listing. With such a nice house, I was surprised they didn't have a backup source to heat the water. I sent three separate messages about the hot water, and the host never replied. I sent photos of the fuse box, etc, but no response. In the end, I found a tankless hot water heater under a low shelf in the laundry room behind some beach towels, and found that the fuse was turned off. I turned the fuse on and we had hot water with no problem after that, no thanks to the host. If the host had a little knowledge of the house, we could have had hot showers our first night. There were other small things, such as the keychain with so many keys that were never explained to us. It was only our next to last day that we realized the remotes were for the gates to enter and exit the community. There were keys to a safe that we never found. Overall, I would highly recommend this home and the location, but I think the hosts need to familiarize themselves with the house and they need to be more responsive when questions are sent. Renters should not be left to deal with bug problems and try to
