Villa Durazno

We had a fantastic 6-day stay! The property was incredibly clean, spacious, and perfectly suited all of our needs. The highlight, however, was the view—it is exactly as pictured and absolutely breathtaking. David was a stellar host; he was always readily available to answer our questions and provided some excellent local recommendations that made our trip even better. We would definitely come back again!

This Airbnb is absolutely magnificent. It has the best view in the country - there is no restaurant or hotel in this part of Costa Rica with a more spectacular sunset view. The house is secluded and private, very quiet and perfect for a big group of adults who also want privacy. All the amenities you could want. David is a wonderful host who goes the extra mile to ensure a great experience. His recommendations for local guides (boat, chef, rainforest guide) were all spot-on and we couldn’t have found any of them on our own. David also stocked the house with groceries and was always available right away if we had a question. All in all, any family or group of friends will find this place a dream come true. We cannot recommend it more highly.

The house worked great for our family. The pool and patio area was the best part. A million dollar view. So many wonderful memories were made out there. Nobody wanted to leave and go home. David and Armando were so responsive to our every need. Would love to come back some day! Magical!

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we had an excellent time at Villa Durazno. The space was fantastic for our three families with young children. Everyone got a master suite and kids had plenty of room. This place is MASSIVE. The back patio/pool was absolutely incredible with an unbelievable view. The view never got old. Wow. We had a lot of fun relaxing and the kids had a blast playing in the pool. David was a fantastic host and was such a help in making our experience in an unfamiliar country go very smoothly. He helped us plan activities and dinner reservations, setup chefs, ensure we could watch March Madness basketball, and was always on standby. Honestly his presence is probably the best aspect of this property. (And the view!) The location of the home is definitely out of the way up a big hill in a quiet part of Cost Rica. You get tons of privacy. If you are looking to relax and enjoy a beach vacation in a beautiful, spacious home you can't beat this place.

What a wonderful 7 Days we enjoyed at the Villa. The home is large and lovely - exceeding our expectations. We were a group of 10 family members and all enjoyed a private bed and bath. The home's unique architecture and modern touches were a delight. The outside area is so beautiful and private. The lower level pool windows provided many a fun picture! As others have noted, the house would just be a BIG house without David. He not only shopped my extensive grocery list prior to arrival but also greeted us with sparkling wine after a long journey. Once you learn the location of the house, traveling to and from was a piece of cake. We did rent two cars and the drive to Coco and other excursions was easy. David arranged a van for us to take to Tamarindo for sunset sailing as we were not too keen to drive home in the dark after a day of drinks. Agua Blu was a favorite hangout and only a ten-minute drive. We loved all the beauty and people of Costa Rica and hope to come back!

This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The views are better than pictured. Love all of the space and separate rooms and bathrooms for our big party. David helped us with whatever we needed and was very accommodating and kind. We could not have asked for a better stay. We will definitely be back!

I've stayed at a good many Airbnb's over the years and Villa Durazno is definitely the best of the best! The house is beautiful and the pictures really don't do it justice. The view is stunning, especially at sunset. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, the infinity pool is deep and clean, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. David is a fantastic host, extremely responsive, friendly, and proactive. 10/10, couldn't have had a better time and would definitely stay again!

The views and privacy are beyond amazing! We were a group of 11 and everyone had plenty of room. The house is so beautiful and the design is spectacular. David was so responsive and helpful with everything we needed. We ate out most nights but the one critical thing I would say is the oven and coffee maker aren’t the best and could be updated but that’s so small, I wouldn’t hesitate to return and I cannot wait to! We spent most of the time at the house because it was so relaxing and beautiful. Highly recommend

Excellent house, the photos do not do it justice, very spacious and with a spectacular view.
