Other mammals we have seen are the Variegated Squirrel and the Northern Tamandua (Lesser Anteater). The gardens: the property is surrounded by jungle, some of which has been converted to garden. When you drive into the driveway you will see a huge Guanacaste tree at the end of the driveway (facing south). The south side of the garden is mainly jungle leading from a ravine up all the way to the top of the property. The lower hill garden is made up of terraces planted with climbers, palms, tree ferns, giant ferns and other ornamental plants. The upper hill garden contains flowering trees, but is not yet fully developed. On the pool-side of the house there are different areas: in front of the pool are various palms and sun-loving orchids such as Vanda’s and large bromeliads. Next to the bedrooms are unusual bromeliads, palms ferns and gingers. The areas beyond the lawn are mostly Heliconias, gingers and other local plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

3BR villa in Savegre

Villa Vista Azul - Houses for Rent in Savegre, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Our second stay here, we love this location. Amazing views, beautiful home, infinity pool overlooks the ocean. This home is easily accessible, very private and quiet, close to playa Linda a wonderful beach. 10 minutes to Dominican highly recommend.

Thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want. Warm regards from Paradise Management Staff!

Beautiful home, very serene. Easy check in and as described. My tips: 1) bring a sleep mask, there are large windows in the main bedrooms. They are lovely, but you might find yourself woken up by the sun. 2) They aren't kidding that you need 4x4. A vehicle with 4x4 and tall clearance is even better. 3) It is a bit of a haul to Manuel Antonio..so just plan your time appropriately.

Dear Deanna. Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are very pleased to hear that our staff made your stay pleasant. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Paradise Management Staff.

A modern house in an absolutely stunning location. We loved our stay and wish we could’ve stayed even longer.

Dear Cary. I appreciate your positive feedback about our villa. We do take pride in catering to our guests’ needs the best way we can. If you’re traveling to our area again soon, don’t hesitate to visit us. Warm regards from Paradise Management Staff!

This was our second visit to Villa Vista Azul. This home has become our “home away from home”. We are already planning another stay! I’m telling you, the pictures literally don’t do it justice (and they’re incredible photos). This home is situated JUST PERFECTLY for incredible views, absolute privacy, and wonderful exposure. There is wildlife all around and the manicured gardens/lawn is pristine. Lars and Paul are incredible hosts and we always look forward to staying at their place. I love to cook, so we mostly do that while we stay in Costa Rica, and the nearly remodeled kitchen is well equipped and beautiful. If you don’t cook, Dominical, Uvita, and Hatillo have wonderful restaurants. Thank you Oscar as always for being an incredible consierge, you are truly an asset. Thank you Lars and Paul, we look forward to coming back next year and enjoying your BEAUTIFUL home.

Thanks so much Jered. Always a pleasure to have you guys. See you next year. Paul

I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience at Lars and Paul's paridisical locale! They were totally lovely, reaching out immediately after we booked. And Oscar was the best support we could ask for, with a friendly demeanor and excellent and thoughtful recomendations. And the place! We are talking about a cartoonishly beautiful spot with lovely bedrooms, an excellent kitchen, a wonderful pool, and a phenomenal view! The drive up was not too taxing -- made the trip even more exciting! And the location, right by Dominical, was totally perfect for us. I only hope we get to stay again!

Dear Joseph. Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are very pleased to hear that our staff made your stay pleasant. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Paradise Management Staff.

Our family of 3 stayed here for one week and had the most amazing experience of pure beauty surrounding us in every direction we looked.   We especially loved the views from the outside patio and the bedrooms since the bedrooms were all glass from top to bottom to catch every sunrise and sunset Costa Rica had on a daily basis!  The kitchen was fully stocked and bathrooms were very clean and spacious.  Oscar our concierge host was very communicative every day which made our stay more pleasurable since we did have questions that he was able to respond to right away.   We recommend villa vista Azul 10 out of 10!  Pura vida to Lars, Paul and Oscar for such a wonderful stay!!!!

Dear Alisa, thanks for your likable comment! It is a pleasure for us to know that you enjoyed our villa and the different services we offer. Feel free of visiting us whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country. Warm regards from Paradise Management Staff!

Great home for family vacation. well equipped and in good condition. Pool is awesome.

Dear Yaniv, thanks to you for choosing our villa! We are truly pleased to serve you with the best place to stay and all the amenities you may need. Warm regards from Paradise Management Staff.

Wow!!! This place is stunning. The view is gorgeous, the pool warm and refreshing, floor to ceiling windows. It's quiet and peaceful and yet not far from Dominical and Uvita. You need a 4x4 to get up the mountain. Our favorite villa to date! Don't hesitate to book it. We will be back :)

Dear Michal, it's a pleasure for us to know that our guests enjoy the villa and services we offer; that keeps us trying to be the bests. Whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country, our villa will be waiting for you!

This is a beautiful home if you are looking for a base near Dominical.  The location is very private and you simply cannot beat the pool and the peacefulness of spending time outside.  The birds were outstanding each morning - no better way to spend your time sipping coffee and enjoying the sunrise.

Dear David, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with other travelers. We're glad to know you had a nice time in our villa. Warm regards!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lars and Paul’s place! The house and the view are even better than the photos. The pool is amazing. The air conditioning works great and made for very comfortable sleeping. The location was perfect for us, very close to all of the activities and beaches we wanted to explore but still very private and peaceful — it felt like our own little paradise. The communication was excellent. We had an issue with one of the air conditioners and Oscar, the concierge, had someone there within the hour to fix it. Throughout the week, he also regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our stay. As with any place, there is room for a couple of very small improvements (better seating by the pool, for example) but we’d stay again and again just as it is. Highly, highly recommend!!

Dear Crystal, thank you for giving us a perfect rating and for recommending our villa to other travelers. I’m sure our entire community staff enjoyed catering to your needs as much as you enjoyed your stay. Take care!

We had a wonderful couple days here with my family and father visiting Costa Rica. The house was well stocked with anything you need, rooms were great and have plenty of space. The outside pool area was beautiful, and great views of the ocean. The location was perfect, 5 mins to Dominical and 5 mins to playa Linda was great. Look forward to staying there again!!!

Dear Mario, it's a pleasure for us to know that our guests enjoy the villas and services we offer; that keeps us trying to be the bests. Whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country, our villa will be waiting for you. Warm regards!

We felt massively privileged to stay at Villa Vista Azul. The villa is set in a jungle paradise and it’s just like the pictures on the listing - modern, stylish and very bright. It’s got everything you need for a comfortable stay. And the pool - worthy of its own paragraph - it’s just magnificent! The villa is very secluded but there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. They’re not joking about the need for a 4x4… The very steep hill up to the villa would be beyond anything else. Oscar the concierge provided excellent directions and was always quick to respond to any questions. Big thanks to him and to Lars & Paul for a great stay!

Dear Jake, thanks for your likable comment! It is a pleasure for us to know that you enjoyed our villa and the different services we offer. Feel free of visiting us whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country. Warm regards!

We had a fantastic stay here in January.   Everything was as described in the listing, and the home, surrounding property, and view were even better than the pictures.   The home and pool have complete privacy, while being just minutes from lots of great restaurants, shops, beaches, and activities.  Our concierge, Oscar, was very helpful and meeting him right off the main road to be escorted to the property 2 minutes away was easy and made check-in very simple after a few hours of driving.  This home is located in our favorite area of Costa Rica and we look forward to staying here again.   Thank you, Lars and Paul, for a wonderful stay.

Dear Margaret, thanks to you for choosing our villa! We are truly pleased to serve you with the best place to stay and all the amenities you may need. Warm regards!

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The home is beautiful and the landscaping is absolutely stunning. Our family spent a lot of time in the pool. Oscar, the concierge, was very helpful and responsive leading up to and during our stay. The location is perfect, easy to get to many of the main attractions like Manuel Antonio National Park and Dominical, but tucked away and private. We absolutely loved our time here and highly recommend!

Dear Megan, thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want!

Everything about this vacation was perfect. I have been a travel writer for 10 years and this was the best experience I’ve ever had. The house was the center of this trip and set the tone for an amazing and unforgettable experience. Oscar the concierge was professional and helpful - always cheerful, so kind and patient, and he helped with everything: setting up a zip line tour, stocking the kitchen, arranging a private chef, you name it, he was on it! Cris the chef became like family to us! We will stay in touch with him forever. He was so talented and went FAR above and beyond to make everything amazing - he checked to make sure we had ice, he did the dishes and even helped clean up - things that he didn’t need to do. He did it all just out of kindness and without even being asked. The views will blow your mind. The pool was perfect. We traveled with another couple and the setup was ideal: 2 private sides and a common area. I can’t say enough!

Dear Aimee, thanks so much for your review! We are glad to hear that you felt that way by staying in our villa because that is our mission. We always try to give our guests the best we can. Our villa will be waiting for you at paradise!

Lars and Pauls was in such a good location, easy 10-15 minute drive to Dominical, perched up and quiet on the hill with breathtaking views

Dear Kyleen, thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are very pleased to hear that our staff made your stay pleasant. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Our Second time staying at Lars & Paul’s beautiful home. This home is located tucked away and private but yet the main road is quickly accessible. Dominical is also just around the corner. We always feel at home here. The home is very clean and comfortable, the pool is incredibly warm and private. Secure location in a friendly little town with waving and smiling locals. Oscar is outstanding, no words to describe the excellent service Paradise mgmt & maintenance team is providing 5star + truly! We had many little buggy visitors joining the surrounding of the home at nights which was neat and interesting, we constantly researched what we saw and learned a lot. We saw monkeys almost every evening , listened to the call of the toucan and saw Macaws.The variety of plants and flowers is a real nice addition to the home and if you take your time looking at them you will notice how much passion and creativity goes into the gardening. We will be back again and again someday !! TYVM !!!

Dear Bruce, thank you so much for your comment and for choosing to stay at our place one more time. We are glad to hear that you felt that way by staying in our villa because that is our mission. We always try to give our guests the best we can. Our villa will be waiting for you at paradise. Warm regards!

What a fantastic place to stay for a luxury tropical vacation. The crown jewel is the pool and the view, they’re absolutely spectacular. If you stay here don’t make plans for a day or two to just enjoy the property. Our concierge Oscar was super helpful and very attentive. 10/10 would definitely stay here again.

Dear Clayton, thank you very much for your comment! We always like to know what our guests have to say about us, we are so glad that you and your company have enjoyed our villa. Hopefully, we will see you in a future!

Beautifully designed home and gardens.  Lovely views and comfortable space.  Great restaurants and beaches within easy drive.  The stars at night were wonderful.  Our only real disappointment was in the lighting.  The overhead lights and reading lights by the bed were all way too bright, not on dimmers, and super blue/white 6500k which is not very relaxed or healthy for nighttime.  Still, overall a truly wonderful place.

Dear Doug, thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. We'll check the lights and will try to get something better. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want. Warm regards!

Lovely, private place with a great pool, a great view, and lots of sunlight pouring through large windows. A charming place for my family to unwind for a few days as we start our Costa Rica trip. Dominical with its restaurants and shops is a ten minute drive away.

Dear Amit, it's a pleasure for us to know that our guests enjoy the villa and services we offer; that keeps us trying to be the bests. Whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country, our villa will be waiting for you. Warm regards!

Beautiful house and location and great pool. Expensive compared with what we’ve got elsewhere. Ie only salt provided. Listed PS5 but no controllers, no fuel for bbq. Check in was convoluted and frustrating.

Sincere apologies Louise, it seems a previous guest packed the PS5 controllers in their luggage. Sorry. Check-in is normally straightforward. Oscar meets guests at the local restaurant to drive them up to the property. As you have probably discovered by now, street addresses are not a thing in Costa Rica.

this was the perfect place to start off our honeymoon! It was secluded and private in the hills. We were also a 10 minute drive from a town with tons to do!

Dear Chuck, it's a pleasure for us to know that our guests enjoy the villas and services we offer; that keeps us trying to be the bests. Whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country, our villa will be waiting for you. Warm regards!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed in. The place is more beautiful than the photos. The host is extremely responsive. I will definitely be back to this place if we visit Costa Rica again.

Dear Zil, thanks for your likable comment! It is a pleasure for us to know that you enjoyed our villa and the different services we offer. Feel free of visiting us whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country. Warm regards!

This casa is simply amazing! We saw scarlet macaws and toucans were regular visitors. With this amazing spot, even if you don't hear anything, there is always something to see: hummingbirds, iguanas (our daughter even named the female one on the property "Pickle"!), vultures, butterflies, etc. The bedrooms were very comfortable, and the kitchen very well equipped. The pool was perfect all day long, with a set a colorful lights that you can lid at night. Oscar was very helpful, he had a great recommendation for Taco Tuesday in Dominicals which was indeed very delicious and he booked our whale watching tour which was also perfect. We loved our stay there and will go back one day!

Dear Sarah, thank you so much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you felt that way by staying in our villa because that is our mission. We always try to give our guests the best we can. Our villa we'll be waiting for you at paradise!

Incredible place! The infinity pool made it extra special. The gardens are very beautiful and the view is awesome. You can even hear the ocean waves crashing on the shore in the distance! Lots of birds visited the gardens while we were there. Heads up that the beds are very firm so if you have back or hip problems you might end up sleeping on the couch like I did. An extra blanket and sheets would have been helpful. Bring laundry soap and dryer sheets to wash towels frequently if you are staying several days (there are no extras). Other than that, we had a wonderful time in this beautiful oasis!

Sorry you chose to sleep on one of the very comfortable couches Jennifer. If you had let Oscar, your 24/7 concierge, know he would have shown you the spare sheets, blankets and towels, and even had housekeeping change the mattress while you were out horseback riding. The laundry detergent is next to the washing machine and dryer. Please inform us of any breakages, like the kitchen faucet. It was an easy repair, and could have been fixed as soon as you broke it if we had known. Thanks for staying. ¡Pura Vida!

We had an incredible stay at Villa Vista Azul, and would love to return one day. The booking process was flawless and the host’s communication was excellent before our stay. The house itself is stunning, with the most amazing views out to the Pacific Ocean. Oscar, the villa’s concierge, was always on hand to answer any questions or make any arrangements required. We are a family of 5 and the villa was the perfect size for us.

Dear John, thank you so much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you felt that way by staying in our villa because that is our mission. We always try to give our guests the best we can. Our villa will be waiting for you at paradise!

The villa was everything and more - exactly as described, peaceful and beautiful with stunning views and a prime location with many options available based on your agenda. We liked that we could spend the majority of the day out exploring and then look forward to heading back to the villa to dip in the pool, watch the sunset and relax. Oscar was a wonderful and extremely responsive concierge, was patient with us when our arrival took longer than anticipated and provided great local recommendations for us. Most of the area takes some time to get to,  but this was part of our plan, to take our time and have a relaxing home base to come back to - so typically we’d have a day planned out for one main destination and get ourselves and kids back by dusk-ish, and this all worked out perfectly. With the terrain you are within 1-2 hours’ drive from national parks, waterfall hikes, surfing/beaches, local shopping, and even a family chocolate/cacao farm. We had a wonderful time.

Dear Jane, thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want. Warm regards!

My husband, toddler and I had an amazing stay at Villa Azul. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable but it is the outside space that is the show stopper. The gardens are lush, attracting a host of bird and other wildlife. We saw hummingbirds, golden bellied flycatchers, cherrie's tanagers and if you're lucky (like us) an amazing toucan in a tree by the pool. The pool itself is luxurious and very much needed after a day in the sun. The villa is well appointed for exploring the central Pacific coast and nature reserves. As well as the big ones, we recommend visiting the local Hacienda Baru nature reserve and the Alturas nature reserve.

Dear Deborah, it's a pleasure for us to know that our guests enjoy the villa and services we offer; that keeps us trying to be the bests. Whenever you want to enjoy our beautiful country, our villa will be waiting for you!

Great home, amazing views! I’d definitely stay again.

Dear Zarak, thanks for your comment. We are glad to know you enjoyed the villa and please feel free to visit us at any time. Warm regards!

The only regret was not spending more nights here. The pool and views were wonderful, possibly even better than the pictures. On our first evening, we were fortunate enough to see monkeys in the trees on the property and the next day saw two toucans. Leaving the property and driving to Dominical after dark was not an issue. Dominical is a cool little town with a good little mix of restaurants (including pretty good vegan options). Another great thing about this property is knowing you have a concierge (Oscar) that can answer any questions and help arrange whatever you might need. We messaged him in the late afternoon on a Saturday just asking for a recommendation for a place for beginner surfing lessons and he had it arranged that night for the following morning. It was terrific having AC units in each bedroom and the main living area. Pro tip: Don't trust Ggle Maps. It sent us up a really steep mountain drive. Just meet up with Oscar. The main gate is off a main road.

Dear Sam, thank you so much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you felt that way by staying in our villa because that is our mission. We always try to give our guests the best we can. Our villa will be waiting for you at paradise!

Beautiful property! Loved the gardens and the pool. Super clean. Would definitely stay again.

Dear Tracie, thanks for your comment. We are glad to know you enjoyed the villa and please feel free to visit us at any time!

My husband and I loved this place, totally feels like being at home….so peaceful with absolute gorgeous views. Definitely recommend this place 100% and would stay again.

Dear Tanya, thanks for your words. We are pleased to read about your experience and to know you had a wonderful time. Regards!

To ANYONE reading this… THIS HOUSE IS INCREDIBLE. It is exactly as described, it has dreamy views, totally private, feels secure, and the house itself is very well kept and modern. The pool is an incredible asset as it’s definitely warm in Costa Rica! The plantings are exquisite and a joy to look at every day. There’s bountiful wildlife, although not invasive, every day. We did not see the monkeys, but the toucan and the iguanas were fun. The tiny chirping geckos on the exterior walls at night were a favorite part for me. It’s so fun to hear them and see them scamper around. Hatillo is perfectly situated amongst all of the towns in the area with all of the activities you could want. Oscar is a wonderful concierge and was extremely helpful at every turn. He is definitely an asset for the property. I WILL say the 4x4 recommendation is a must, the driveway is steep, but that’s how this house is so private and it’s worth the vehicle. We WILL be back to this property again! 100% recomend.

Dear Jered, thanks a lot for taking the time to leave such a nice review about our villa. We  are pleased to hear you had a wonderful time and be sure we will be waiting for your next visit!

This property was UNBELIEVABLE!  The view was incredible.  The pool the perfect temperature and sooo refreshing.  The house is perfectly laid out for 2 couples.  Lars and Paul were amazing hosts.  When they found out my partner and I had gotten engaged during our stay, they had a bottle of champagne delivered to the house.  I was so relaxed staying at this property.  I’m so sad to be writing a review, it means that I’m no longer there.  I hated to have to leave.  Thank you Lars and Paul for being amazing hosts.  Special thank you to Oscar at Paradise Property Management.  The stay came with concierge service and Oscar was so helpful in planning our engagement celebration dinner.  Oscar had already started helping us through whats app months before we arrived in Costa Rica.  This added service along with Oscars knowledge and kindness made a huge difference in our trip.  I fell in love with Costa Rica staying in this home!

Dear Kevin, thank you so much for your lovely comment about our property. We are truly glad to know you had a great time and that our services were helpful for you. We hope to see you in the near future!

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful location for my 29th birthday. The property was way more beautiful in person and the such a peaceful relaxing getaway. Oscar was amazing and very helpful with local attractions. I can’t wait to come back to Costa Rica! Btw: the grasshoppers are huge! Pura Vida

Dear Marisha, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for choosing to stay with us; we're really glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. Warm regards!

A truly fabulous home.  The design, landscaping, location and pool are all highlights.  As advertised.  We loved opening up the living room to the pool.  We would gladly stay here again.  Highly recommended.

Dear Andrew and Pamela, we are truly glad to know you had a nice time at the villa and please be sure we'll be waiting for your next visit!

We love your place. Thank u for everything! Big hugs from us!

Thanks to you Ramon for visiting us and for taking the time to leave a comment. Warm regards!

the pictures don't do this place justice. so beautiful and peaceful. we had a 4 by 4 but could have used a regular vehicle as well. Oscar was great with helping us sort out the chef to come cook at the house. the house was stocked with everything we need. would 100000 percent recommend

Dear Jesse, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to hear you had a nice time and we hope to have you as our guests in the near future!

Please read the whole review to get a better idea of the rating we leave. The place is very nice and has a great view from the back yard. Lean and neat. It is stocked okay – has all the things you might need. Frying pans might not be in the best condition, but do the work. We really liked the place. Unfortunately, there were problems. Long story short, the roof was leaking in several places, including right over kids' bunk bed; owners thought it was previously fixed. The tile is slippery when wet, my husband fell once, no harm though. We were concerned about kids safety, and also the need to constantly replace wet towels and jumping over puddles. But there were guests after owners were there and before us; and it rains here every day. We were told the roof will be foxed again as long as there are several hour of sunshine in a day, which was pretty much every dat. Back and forth communicating with owners, they did issue us a refund, but also pretty much kicked us out of the property.

Dear Irina, I'm glad to hear that despite of the issues, you liked the property. We did all we could at the moment, we brought all the towels possible and we answered all your requests as soon as we could. However, the weather did not help us as it rained every day and it was dangerous for the guys to go up in the roof. You requested a full refund, which we inmediately processed as there was nothing we could do at the moment to stop the leaks and we understood your concerns. You were definitely not kicked out of the villa; the arrange was for us to issue the refund and you had to leave the property. Anyway, we are definitely working on the roof for this situation to not happen again with other travelers. Best regards!

Villa Vista Azul is absolutely stunning. Both inside and outside are wonderful. The pool was perfect. We had the best time and would definitely visit again!

Thanks for your lovely comment about our villa Megan, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your time. Please feel free to visit us at any time!

Villa Vista Azul is somehow even better than what is shown in pictures! The cliff side views, infinity pool, and surrounding gardens made it so hard to leave. However, thanks to the concierge (Oscar), it was worth it every time we did leave the house. He is incredible responsive and helps you with every part of your Costa Rican vacation. We cannot say enough positive things about Oscar. The house does have some leaks when it rains and the driveway to get to the house is incredibly steep, so make sure your car has 4WD capabilities. Outside of those two things, this place is truly picturesque!

Dear Brian, thanks very much for sharing your experience with other travelers. We are glad to know yo enjoyed your time and be sure we are working on repairing the leaks. We hope you to visit us in the next future!

This place is beyond amazing! The views are breathtaking and the home has everything you need and more. The home has a lot of natural light, so I would recommend an eye mask for sensitive sleepers.

Dear Sarah, thanks for sharing your review with other travelers. Be sure you'll be welcome whenever you want to visit us again!

Let me start by saying, the Villa is absolutely gorgeous. Up on the mountain side, overlooking the ocean and the quaint town below. You will need an SUV with 4x4, the driveway is STEEP! The infinity pool is the obvious sell to the back yard. The location in relation to the activities we wanted to do, was spot on as well. I recommend going into Dominical for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The people & food in this town left me wanting to revisit Costa Rica. The reason I give this three stars is because of the check in process & the leaky roof & front door. The check-in process is slightly uncomfortable. It says “smart lock access” and self check in on the ad. It is half of that. We were able to access the property, without assistance, but not alone. He stated it’s optional for him to welcome you to the Airbnb, but it wasn’t optional. He made us wait for him to access the property, showed us a couple things and then stood there waiting for $20 because we arrived after 5pm. With flights already being booked prior to booking this villa, there isn’t a way around this. Which is extremely uncomfortable. Secondly, we experienced some extremely hard rains while here. The sounds of the rain, we’re amazing. The rain coming through the roof and front door, not so much. There is a couple small leaks in the roof. Also, the rain caused some run off in the above garden foundation to wash out. Which then caused the grounds crew to be on property two days in a row, which without front blind on the window, found us having people walking by looking through the windows. Especially in the bedroom with bunk beds. Lastly, we got to experience some amazing wildlife while right at the Villa. We saw some monkeys, toucans, frogs, and some amazing insects. Other than these issues, I would stay here again, just in a different time of year. Thanks you for opening your home to us! Pura Vida!

Dear Alex, thanks for your comment. We are glad to know you liked the villa and your time there. We are really sorry we couldn't meet your expectations, but please be sure that your constructive criticism will help us improve our services. The rainy season brings a lot of leaks that are not always that easy to repair and other issues, but we are working on that hoping to avoid any disturbance to our guests. Best regards!

This was an amazing place to stay for the week! It was set back from the town dominical which made it a quite oasis to just sit back and relax in the amazing pool with awesome views! :) Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle since the hill getting up to the house is a little steep.

Dear Shayna, thanks for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your visit, we'll be waiting for your next one!

We had several disappointments during our stay, some of which were quite major. Water leaked from the ceiling during rain in the master bedroom. In addition, the shower in the master bedroom was not functional during our stay.

Sincerely sorry you were disappointed Julie.  Please let us know during your stay if you have any concerns. The 24/7 concierge would have shown you how to turn on the shower, and immediately attended to any surprise rainy season leaks. We hope it did not detract from your stay in Costa Rica.  Pura Vida Paul and Lars

Everything about this stay was Amazing amazing amazing! Oscar was fantastic

Dear Clement, thanks for your comment. We'll be waiting for your next visit!

Dream house in an idyllic setting. The view from the deck is magical. Oscar's hosting is enjoyable.

Maison de rêve dans un cadre idyllique. La vue depuis la terrasse est magique. L'accueil d'Oscar est très agréable.

hère Karine, merci d'avoir recommandé notre villa à d'autres voyageurs. Je suis sûr que tout notre personnel a apprécié répondre à vos besoins autant que vous avez apprécié votre séjour. Prenez soin de vous!

Dear Jo, we're glad to know you enjoyed the property. Please feel free to visit us at anytime!

Magnificent views. The swimming pool was the perfect temperature and so refreshing. This house is stunning. Perfect stay. Thank you, Lars, Paul, and Oscar.

Dear Carly, thank you for giving us a perfect rating and for recommending our villa to other travelers. I’m sure our entire staff enjoyed catering to your needs as much as you enjoyed your stay. Take care!

Beautiful location and a great stay overall.   We loved the pool and outdoor area.  Saw monkeys on the property the last night.  The place is a little hard to find and I'm glad we had a 4x4 to get up the hill.   Only minor negative is being asked to pay $20 additional for showing up at 5:15PM (i.e., 15 minutes "late").  Check in is between 3-5PM only.  Doesn't give a good first impression of the service.   Everything else was spectacular though.

Dear Cynthia, thank you for having taken your time to provide us with your valuable feedback relating to your stay with us. We are glad to know you had a nice time and please be sure that your helpful comments are much appreciated, and your feedback will help us to continually improve the standard of facilities and services offered to all our guests. Regards!

Wonderful place to stay and welcoming, informative, supportive service.

Dear Adam, thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are very pleased to hear that our staff made your stay pleasant. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

The house and views are amazing but The concierge is the cherry ontop of the cake. If you want a stress free vacation, then look no further because everything gets taken care of while you relax and enjoy! Beautiful Dominical beach  is only 7 min away with bountiful amounts of little local restaurants there and even closer than that. The area is amazing!

Dear Ty, thank you for visiting our Villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want!

This is an excellent home in a great location, close to the Nauyaca waterfalls, restaurants and the ocean.

Dear Sonali, thanks for your review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time. Feel free to visit us anytime you want.

Thanks for staying at our place Tom, we hope you had a nice time there!

Villa Vista Azul is an amazing hillside retreat.  We watched shockingly beautiful electrical storms from the pool patio and home each night.  The property felt safe and was very well maintained and appointed.  The views of the forest and ocean were spectacular.  Sunset views were lovely.  Toucans and other tropical birds visited daily.  The infinity pool was perfect, we loved the pretty nighttime pool lights.  I’d live there if I could!

Dear Chelsea, thanks for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed the villa and the views and amenities its offers. We will be waiting for your next visit!

Our family enjoyed the stay at Vista Azul. The property manager Oscar was amazing - very responsive, provided detailed information and suggestions. House was very comfortable for our family.

Dear Evita, thanks for your review! We are really glad to know that you enjoyed so much being in our villa because that’s our main goal. We always try to offer the best comfort and be the best to our guests. Looking forward to seeing you in our villa again!

A truly amazing place. It was hard to leave the house even to go and explore all that the local area had to offer! We saw two kinds of toucans in the garden as well as a large troupe of capuchin monkeys, hummingbirds and many other fabulous birds. The pool was stunning.

Dear Hannah, thank you so much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you felt that way by staying in our villa because that is our mission. We always try to give our guests the best we can. Our villa will be waiting for you at paradise!

Beautiful place. Very private. We went to the little markets in town for groceries and even one of the local restaurants. We also went into Dominical for more restaurants and the health food store. Playa Domincalita was beautiful and great for surfing. Playa Linda was a large nice beach with hardly anyone else there. The house had everything we needed.

Dear Alyssa, it's a pleasure for us to know that our guests enjoy the villas and services we offer; that keeps us trying to be the bests. Whenever you want to enjoy Costa Rica, our villa will be waiting for you!

We’ve done some amazing things in Costa Rica on our many visits (zip lining, hanging bridges, hikes, snorkeling, horseback rides, national parks) but honestly… watching the sunset over the Pacific while floating in the pool here was pure magic and something we will remember forever. The house is exactly like the photos and lovely. Our concierge (Oscar) was extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive. I even had an in-home massage here that was delightful. Stay here!

Dear Sean & Luna, it's our pleasure to know you enjoyed our property and that is was a nice stay for you. We will be waiting for your next visit!

Gorgeous home & view! We had an unbelievable time.

Dear Lexi, thanks for your review! We are really glad to know that you enjoyed so much being in our villa because that’s our main goal. We hope to see you again in the near future!

Where do I even start about this dream boat of a home we stayed in. Ugh. Magical. I will start with a downfalls, which aren’t many. If you are scared of grasshoppers, get used to them. Because here they are the size of dinosaurs and they are everywhere. You will find many dead ones in the pool amongst other insects every morning. I SO afraid of insects and honestly I have no problems cleaning the pool every morning because everything else was so perfect. If you are sensitive to Sun while you are sleeping, bring a sleeping mask. There are curtains in the bedrooms but they do not go all the way up. But honestly you shouldn’t be sleeping and while you’re here anyways lol And honestly think of those windows are open because at night you can see so many stars and it is breathtaking. Everything else about this home is fat on. It is well equipped with everything that you need. The pool is seriously beyond amazing. All the greenery surrounding is beautiful. Yes, like a money have side you do need a 4 x 4 to get up to the house and down easily and safely. Dominical is such a great little town with everything that you need- restaurants, grocery, the beach, Yoga, coffee, shops etc… OSCAR Was our contact when we were there. He was so fast at communicating and helping and he was AMAZING. We loved chatting with him! We were so unbelievably sad to leave. But we will most up be coming back to Costa Rica. I wish I had the patience to write a longer review, but just know you will regret it if you do not stay here!!!!

Dear Angelica, thanks for your comment! We are glad to know that you enjoyed the stay in our villa. We always try to provide our guests with everything they might need for them to feel like in paradise. We hope to see you again in our villa!

I will try to give a review that accurately describes this magnificent offering, but words aren't enough. We stayed here with our two children (5 & 9) and I can't imagine a better place for our vacation. Here are some highlights: 1. This place comes with an amazing concierge, who is extremely prompt in answering your questions, checking in, etc. We felt totally spoiled, and I believe he genuinely cared for us and wanted us to have a good time. On that note... 2. Often when you travel to a place with a robust tourism industry, there's a push and pull of feeling like locals are glad you're there spending your money, but they also don't want you there taking up space. This is NOT the case in Costa Rica. Throughout our entire stay, I felt like the people who lived there were legitimately happy that we were visiting. Everyone went out of their way to be kind, make things easy, etc. It was wonderful to feel welcomed! 3. The location of this house is, in my opinion, perfect. It's a short drive to groceries, beaches, etc. But it's off the beaten path, in a secure gated and safe neighborhood. The town is sweet and there is a lovely restaurant at the edge of town, plus a couple of mini-grocery stores for quick grabs. There is an endless amount of adventures to be had in this area, as well. 4. The pool is incredible. It had to be the cleanest pool I've ever seen at a rental, hands down. Lounging in the pool looking out at the ocean beyond is phenomenal. The landscaping around the house is well designed and full of vibrant color. More importantly, the plants felt happy! There were lovely birds and butterflies, giant grasshoppers and sweet frogs. It was so fun to go on an animal safari every morning and evening. 5. The house is quite spacious, spotless, and has everything you'll need for a stay. The AC is nice and works well, but we didn't even use it that much since the house stayed comfortable at night and we were out for much of the day exploring. In short, it's easy to see how much effort went into making and maintaining this space. For the price, Lars and Paul are clearly offering this as a gift to the rest of us. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!

Dear Talia, thanks for such lovely review about our property. We are really glad to know you had a wonderful time in here and that you felt as described by staying in our home. You were a great guest and we'll be waiting for your next visit. Warm regards!

The house was located close to Playa Linda as well as beach town Dominical (10 mins away); so plenty to do close by.  The house is very privately located and offers a resort like experience.  The views of the ocean and surrounding jungles are top notch.  The pool area and back yard are well designed and offer an unforgettable experience in Costa Rica.  The house is modern, clean, and very nicely decorated.

Dear Joe, thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want!

We had a fantastic time everything was A+++++ Home is beautiful, tastefully decorated , VERY private !! The pool is so clean and warm !! We had monkeys coming thru the yard , iguanas , humming birds , toucans and giant grasshoppers !!! Oscar has been OUTSTANDING !!! Unbelievably responsive to questions and accommodating!!! Simply wow ! The same we have to say about the home overall ,the area , the country and it’s people !! We fallen in love for sure !! Thank you !!!

Dear Bruce, thanks for your words about our property. We are so glad to know you did have a wonderful time in there and that our services were helpful for you and your group. We'll be waiting for your next visit!

This house is amazing! Everything we could have asked for. The driveway is exactly what the other reviews said it was but it was not problem for us with our 4x4 vehicle. Oscar was the real MVP here though, he was amazing. He set up all our tours and changed things last minute for us. He was the best! The house is just amazing! My only thing would be please buy a full length mirror :) I would stay here again in a heart beat!

Dear Whitney, we are truly pleased to know you had a wonderful time at our villa and that the services we provide were helpful for you. Please visit us whenever you wish so!

The pool is even better in person!  Spent two days straight basking in the sun.  You won't regret staying here.

Dear Alan, thanks for your comment. We are really glad to know you had a nice time there. Please feel free to visit us anytime you want!

It was a wonderful, beautiful stay! Thank you for having us!

Dear Paige, we are truly pleased to know you had a wonderful time at our villa. Please visit us whenever you wish so!

The villa is just as amazing as the profile pictures. Amazing place. I highly recommend.

Dear Scott, thanks for your words. We are truly glad to know you enjoyed the property, please feel free to visit at anytime!

Lars and Paul’s property is nothing short of amazing. Recommend 4x4 to get to the property (it is steep), but very manageable and less scary as you get the hang of it. The pool, privacy and native plant gardens are beautiful. We say capuchin monkeys, lizards, butterflies and exotic birds while staying at the property. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stay near Dominical. Oscar from the concierge service was very kind and helpful during our stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Dear Marshall, thanks for your comment. We are really glad to know you had a wonderful time and that our services were helpful for you. We'll be waiting for your next visit!

This place is magical. So peaceful and calm! We loved just sitting outside listening to the wildlife and enjoying the amazing view. It’s also in such a perfect location to go out and explore!

Dear Kylee, thanks for your comment! We are glad to know that you enjoyed the stay in our villa. We always try to provide our guests with everything they might need for them to feel like in paradise. We hope to see you again in our villa!

pacific view in the distance, Dream villa perfect for 2 couples, 15 min from Dominical

vue sur le pacifique au loin, Villa de rêve parfaite pour 2 couple, a 15 min de Dominical

Dear Remy, thanks for your comment. We are pleased knowing you had a nice time and be sure we'll be waiting for your next visit!

This property is every bit as beautiful as the photos! We loved the location, it was secluded enough for us to relax and enjoy the gorgeous views from the infinity pool yet close enough to enjoy the beach and surrounding activities. Playa Linda was a fantastic place to enjoy the sunset in a quiet natural beach setting and Dominical offered all the beach town staples you could want! They’re not kidding when they say you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle! The driveway is quite steep but then you turn into the Oasis that is your AirBnB!

Dear Travis, thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villas anytime you want!

We loved our stay! The jungle location. Perfect views and pool. We were so happy to come back to the home and go swimming and cook in the beautiful kitchen! We saw so many wonderful birds and thoroughly enjoyed being in the jungle. Oscar was so helpful and kind!

Dear Meesha, thanks for taking the time to review our property. We are really glad to hear you enjoyed your time there. Feel free to visit us at any time!

Everything was fantastic! Oscar was extremely helpful and kept an open line of communication throughout the stay. Great location and gorgeous views.

Dear Ashley, we are glad to know you had a nice time and enjoyed the services we offer. Please feel free to visit us at any time!

We absolutely loved our stay. Near to adventures and then able to retreat back to the house during the rainier late afternoons. The common spaces. rooms, and gardens are the thoughtfully designed for a stunning immersive experience. Oscar was very communicative and scheduled massages for us, which was such a treat.

Dear Emily, thanks for your review. We are very glad to know you had a wonderful time there. We'll wait for your next visit!

Villa Vista Azul is a wonderful location with a breathtaking view. When swimming in the pool you have the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle. The villa is so great and fully equipped. But it is a bit hard to find: use Google maps to find the right way since it is pretty hidden. But wonderful - highly recommended

Dear Laura, thanks for your comment. We love to hear you had such a wonderful time at the villa. Please feel free to visit us at any time!

This house was honestly everything you would expect and more. It is so beautiful the views are beautiful the house is so modern and private. We loved our stay

Dear Maher, thanks for your comment. We are really glad to know you had a nice time at the property. We'll be waiting for your next visit!

Great property with stunning views and very comfortable. Oscar was our concierge member and he was very helpful in planning our trip. They made everything very easy and stress free. Our car was waiting for us at the villa and the shuttle service was waiting for us at the airport when we landed. They were very punctual and accommodating to all of our requests.

Dear Valmarie, thanks for taking the time to review our property. We are truly pleased to hear you enjoyed the time at the villa and the services offered. Please feel free to visit us at anytime!

This place was amazing! The views were amazing! I would definitely stay again.

Dear Melissa, thanks for your comment. We are glad to know you had a nice time and we'll be waiting for your next visit!

Incredible house, views, location! The concierge service is A++ and so great to have for those visiting. This is a must visit house!

Dear Brett, thanks for your comment. We are very glad to know you enjoyed the time at the villa and the services offered. We'll be waiting for your next visit!

At a loss for words with how spectacular this home was! Both indoor and outdoors were quite the site to see. I was sad I had to do. Communication was great, house was amazing and I am fully relaxed and rested!

Dear Natacha, thanks for taking the time to review our property. We are pleased to know you had a wonderful time and be sure that you can come whenever you want to get relaxed again!

Everything about this place was amazing-- from the privacy of the location to the service level and communication from Oscar who met us on the main road and guided us up to the place during our check in. Lars, Paul, and Oscar were very proactive with their follow up to make sure our stay was as expected and in no way were intrusive with their approach. The location is managed and maintained by Paradise Management and I must say their standard is above and beyond. Definitely looking forward to coming back! Thank you!

Dear Victor, thanks for your nice comment. We are so glad knowing that you enjoyed the house and the services we offer. Please feel free to visit us anytime!

Amazing stay. Host was very attentive and helped us with everything we needed to enjoy our stay

Dear Desyree, we are pleased to know you enjoyed your stay at our property. Please feel free to visit us anytime you want. Best regards.

Lovely, serene, comfortable, convenient, and the concierge, Oscar, was very responsive and helpful.  Note that there are no kitchen staples provided such as salt, pepper, oil, etc. (perhaps due to Covid).  So purchase those items if you plan on cooking.

Dear Joy, thanks for your comment. We are pleased to hear you had a nice time at the property. Definitely, the Covid has changed many things, but we will keep your comment in mind. Warm regards!

The location and views are what makes this place so amazing. It has a very comfortable, homey vibe. We absolutely love the area, perfect location. Playa Linda is right down the road and a beautiful place to walk on the beach for hours. We rode horses on the beach, it was breathtaking. We are from Hawaii so most of the beaches we saw in Costa Rica weren't impressive but Playa Linda was, very much so. We saw Sloths and Scarlet Macaws and little hermit and sea shell creatures - so cute. There is a restaurant nearby the home (Restaurante y Marisqueria el Ticanero) which served local dishes and they were very friendly with much more reasonable pricing than other touristy areas. This homes location is perfect to travel north towards Manuel Antonio for day trips or south towards Uvita and even west - into the mountains. We traveled from Turrialba to Dominical on Route 2 which was absolutely stunning and I highly recommend if you love the mountains. Dominical is such a cute little town, my husband got a massage at Alegria Spa, he enjoyed it very much. We ate at Fuego Brewing Company (best fish tacos ever), Phat Noodle, Gate One Charter & Tropical Wings Bar/Lounge, and The Aracari Resturant; All recommended. And of course - there is a lovely little supermarket in Dominical and nice one in Matapalo near the beach to buy groceries and cook in the kitchen which was stocked with all the essentials. Lars and Paul's home offered breathtaking ocean views surrounded by greenery, tropical plants and flowers and beautiful skies. We had no problem going up the driveway without a 4x4, that being said, you must be confident in your driving skills (we reversed into the driveway everytime as Oacar recommended). Check in was great, Oscar met us at the local restaurant to show us the way. We were asked to provide credit card information upon arrival for incidental damages which I thought was odd being that we booked through AirBnB. The first morning of our stay a family of monkeys passed through which was super cool. A lovely song drew me outside another morning to find a beautiful toucan visiting the property. The humming birds were busy at work in the beautiful gardens along with butterflies, iguanas and super cool insects. We loved being in a more secluded area away from busier towns and the people were so friendly and kind, true Aloha spirit, which the world needs more of. The hot water was on a timer and unfortunately the timing was off almost our entire visit which was a big bummer (no hot water in the evenings only the mornings). Oscar sympathized and did his best to help with that situation, sending someone to reset it but it still didn't really fix the problem. The grounds near the pool side are a bit worn and the concrete pavement / paths are eroding a bit. As another reviewer stated, I agree the beds are quite firm and the linens could definitely use an upgrade. That being said, the place was spotless upon arrival and the homes view and location is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended.

Dear Kamaile, we are so glad to know you had such a wonderful time and that you were able to enjoy the views and wildlife. We will be waiting for your next visit!

We had a great time at the house. Oscar, our concierge was very helpful and informative. The location was ideal for exploring points of interest in the Dominical and Southern Pacific area and it was a short drive north to Quepos and Manuel Antonio for more activities. The kids loved the pool so much it was hard on some days to drag them away to go exploring. The owners have done a great job with the landscaping. It was fun watching the many visits from a variety of birds including a Toucan couple that we saw every day. One day we saw some Scarlet Macaws in the distance. It was relaxing sometimes just looking at the beautiful view.

Dear Paul, thanks for your nice review about our property. We are really glad to know you had a wonderful time and that you and your group enjoyed the villa. Please feel free to visit us anytime you want!

Beautiful home located in lush jungle but only 7-8 minutes to main road. It was easy to find and Oscar (with management company) met us for check-in/out. He was super helpful and very pleasant to talk with. The house itself is gorgeous - new and well designed. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had everything we needed. Honestly, this is a house that you might consider not leaving for a few days straight. Nature, quiet and a beautiful view just come to it. Everything was clean and pre-stay information packet accurate and helpful. Plenty to do in area. Wifi signal seemed strong, should you need to work remotely. We highly recommend this home and if we are lucky enough to return to CR, this is the one place we would stay again.

Dear Mike, thanks for taking the time to review our property. We are really glad to know you had a nice time at the property. Please feel free to visit us at anytime!

What a beautiful house with fantastic views.  Lots of wildlife such as frogs and birds.  Layout was perfect for our family of four.  Wish we could have stayed much longer than we did.  Thank you.

Dear Toby, thanks for your nice words about the property, we are pleased knowing that you enjoyed the stay. We'll be looking forward to your next visit!

The house and gardens are so beautiful! The concierge team, especially Oscar, were great to work with! I definitely recommend this house to anyone going to CR!! The near by towns are nice and we never had a bad meal at any of the places we ate. Dominical is definitely a must when visiting Costa Rica!

Dear Tessa, thank you for giving us a perfect rating and for recommending our villa to other travelers. We enjoyed catering to your needs as much as you enjoyed your stay. Take care!

This house is an incredible value, all is exactly how it is described. I will second other reviewers and say you DO need a 4x4 especially if you’re going during rainy season. We made the mistake of not doing so and got stuck going up the hill to the house. All of the recommendations in their guidebook are on point 👌🏻 would absolutely be back!

Dear Brianna, thanks for your review! We are really glad to know that you enjoyed so much being in our villa because that’s our main goal. We always try to offer the best comfort and be the best for our guests. Looking forward to seeing you in our villa whenever you wish so!

This place is absolutely beautiful. The pool is luxurious. Nestled up in the hills for ultimate privacy and everything is very new so you feel like you are experiencing first class all the way. The drive up to the villa is very rough at first but you get used to it. The host, Oscar, is an amazing person and genuinely cares about your well being. We got a private chef for one night and the food was amazing but he bought a lot of extra food so we’d recommend having him show up on the first or second day so you can use the extras. We would 100% come back and recommend this place to anyone!

Dear Brice, thank you for visiting our villa! Our main goal is to serve our guests with the best hospitality and provide the best comfort to enjoy the journey. It will be our pleasure to have you in our villa anytime you want!

The house was amazing and felt like a home from the start. From the toad serenading us to sleep at night to the infinity pool with the sound of waves crashing... we loved this house and I would totally stay forever if life permitted. Oscar is the man- he’s the concierge. He gave us so many tips about restaurants and beaches. He’s extremely professional about hosting but also feels like a close friend by the end. I will be back!

Dear Kristy, we are truly glad to see your comments about the villa. We are also glad you enjoyed your time there, please feel free to visit us anytime you want. Best regards!

Our stay at Villa Vista Azul was all that we could have hoped it to be.  The villa itself is very modern and comfortable. Nice gas stove with all you need to create meals. Oscar, the concierge checked in on us to make sure everything was to our expectations and that we had everything we needed.  Avoid overpacking as the washer snd dryer works well. The air conditioning worked very well on the days we needed it. The pool is nice and warm. The views of the ocean from the pool area are so pretty even when there’s overcast.  We had many gorgeous sunny days and afternoons even though my weather app showed rain and clouds do not worry about the weather you will have nice sunny days. I prefer to live in the moment but that’s not to say that I didn’t get Instagram worthy photos from the pool.  On the property we saw Capuchin monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds galore, dart frogs.  I loved listening to the sounds of nature all around me. The view from the villa bedrooms are fabulous. You can see all of the stars at night which is not something I can do at home. The town of Hatillo was so close to Dominical with options to dine at. In particular Cafe Mono Congo has these tasty chicken rolls. They are better than they sound.  Next door to the cafe is Mama Toucans here you can get these delicious chocolate chip cookies. Our family had at least 15 of them.  My husband loved the sushi in the place next to Mama Toucans. We highly recommended going to Playa Linda which has almost no people there with super soft sand, and Marina Bellena park about 20 min away. It’s gorgeous with awesome views.  The villa is an excellent value for the money. Great views, attentive staff, and perfect location. Looking forward to our next trip.

Dear Larissa, thanks for your comment! We are glad to know that you enjoyed the stay in our villa. We always try to provide our guests with everything they might need for them to feel like in paradise. We hope to see you again in the villa!

Amazing place!! Beautiful views and a very fun place to hang out.

Dear Aleks, we are really glad to know you liked the place. We'll be waiting for your next visit!

You cannot go wrong with this gorgeous villa. It looks better then in the pictures, as my teenage daughter said "it feels like a million $". Everything is clean and modern. Kitchen is well equipped. Swimming pool isn't only beautiful - it's very functional and provides great relaxation after daily activities. Air conditioner is powerful (and necessary). The vegetation around the villa is lush, very well maintained and is home to all kinds of wild life: we saw a pair of toucans, at least 4-5 species of different little birds, some animal resembling ferret which was hunting and sometimes catching birds, and a very fluffy rabbit. Maintenance was great, unobtrusive and thorough. Property manager, Oscar, went above and beyond his responsibilities, and basically saved our vacation and car during the first day which was VERY rainy. He responded to all texts and questions promptly - it was a great comfort to know that he was always just a phone call or a text away. The villa is very close to Dominical - tons of little stores, great restaurants and beautiful beaches are 10-15 min away. We drove to Quepos and Manuel Antonio multiple times for different activities - it's 30-40 min away very easy drive. We hope return in the future - one of the best locations and properties we have ever stayed in.

The house is nice. View is wonderful. Loved the greenery- very peaceful ! Oscar, the concierge, was AWESOME! Shower pressure is a little weak so just a heads up for that but over all 10/10 :)
