Everything was perfect.  Especially recommend arranging private chefs through them.

Sian,  you and your family were amazing guests.  Our local villa family- Flory, Jacson, and our chef loved meeting you all and having the opportunity to serve you.  We hope you will return someday.  Thank you for your kind words. 🙏

I stayed with my kids and grandkids. We loved Paola's place. We saw more monkeys and sloths in our back yard than we saw in Manuel Antonio National Park. We had a great time. Jackson and Flori were amazing local hosts and provided everything we asked for. They made a good time great.

This Villa is better than you see in description and photos. It is on the beach with nobody else around. Flory was very responsive. She met us at midnight when our vans pulled up. She welcomed us with a smile. The welcome and the smile continued for the week. The only surprises were good ones. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. Pool was loved by everyone. Beach was a two minute walk through the gate. Have Flory and team cook breakfast for you. It was fantastic. Everyone loved it. This place is quiet and a little remote. We like this. There were many local places to eat nearby, only 5-10 minutes by car. Small markets were also available. Dominical was 20 minutes and Quepos was 40 minutes away. Everyone in town was friendly and helpful. We had 15 people and were very comfortable. Everyone had a quiet place to retreat to, when wanted.

Words truly cannot express how magical this place is! Beyond the amount of space and privacy that all of the bedrooms afford, and the amenities of “home”, the property setting is unmatched!! The beach is steps away and the ocean can be seen and heard from all over the home. The garden setting outside of the gates is so peaceful. Nothing beats lying in a hammock under the trees and watching the ocean feet away. The infinity pool is a fun place for lounging or playing games with the entire family. And the icing on the cake…..the wildlife! We were visited by spiny tailed iguanas and geckos daily. White faced monkeys visited frequently and were so fun to watch running around and playing in the trees. And a sloth mom and baby stayed in the trees just outside of the property for many days. Scarlett macaws flew over regularly and frequently land in the trees close to the home. Perry, Paula, and team were responsive and treat you like family. I cannot recommend this place enough! Pura Vida!

Shalon, We are so incredibly fortunate to have hosted you and your family. The reason we built our villas was so that people just like you would come find us and enjoy the villa, the ocean, the wildlife, and most importantly, each other. The Costa Rican people and culture are amazing. Flory, Jacson, and our entire villa family were honored to meet and serve you. There are so many special places on earth to visit. Your kind words and your amazing review is so much appreciated. We wish you and your family all the best and that you will tell others about us so that they can experience the magic of Playa Matapalo just as you did. Farewell for now! Pura Vida!! Our warmest wishes, Perry & Paola

We went with a family of 14 and had a Great Time! The House was perfect and The Chefs they recommended was amazing. They  were very helpful with our itinerary and transportation.

Latasha, Thank you so much for choosing us and for your kind words. Our staff loved serving all of you, especially preparing delicious food for your family and friends. Flory, our chef(s), and our entire local villa family always serve our guests with huge hearts and attention to details. We hope you enjoyed being on the beach, listening to the ocean, and experiencing the wildlife both on beach and in the nearby rain forests. We also want to thank you for being in close touch with us during your stay. Things happen from time to time, and in your case, some heavy rains and a tropical storm lead to issues in one of our bedrooms. We really appreciate your patience and understanding as we tried to address and remedy the situation as best we could. We wish you, your family, and friends safe travels always! Pura Vida! Our Warmest regards, Perry, Paola, Flory, Jacson, our chef(s), and our entire villa family. ❤️

The house was amazing. We felt right at home and were stunned with the amazing views.  Flory and Thomas were friendly, responsive and very helpful. It was a dream come true for seeing the smiles of 3 generations.

Gretchen, you and your family were amazing guests. Thanks so much for your wonderful review. Flory, Jacson, and our entire local staff were so grateful to spend time with your family and contribute to your experience. That’s what Paola and I always hope for. We hope to see you again someday. Our warmest regards, Perry & Paola Owners, hosts

Wonderful place for our group of 8 family and grown children! The ocean is right in front and you are wrapped in  nature. We saw: a sloth, monkeys, lizards, birds—all right there. Flori and Jacson were so helpful and made the stay even better. Trust Flori to set up anything and any tour you need. Chef Leo meals were amazing and abundant. Beds and pillows extremely comfortable as well.

Karen, We are so grateful you chose us and very appreciative of your review. It was an absolute pleasure for Flory, Jacson, Leo, and our entire local villa family to serve you! Our hope is that all of our guests enjoy this very special place on earth as you and your family did. We hope to have you back again someday. Pura Vida!! Our warmest regards & gratitude, Perry, Paola, Flory, & Jacson

Hands down the best place we've ever stayed at in Costa Rica!  It was a newer home that was ideal for multiple couples as it provided a private room and bath for each.  The interior gathering space (kitchen/living/dining) featured a big couch plus a large table and chairs although we spent a lot of time in the pool and covered outdoor retreat complete with 2 bars (one overlooking the beautiful property with views to the beach), several cushioned chairs, benches and couch, a bar fridge, sink and a grill!  The beauty of the grounds and the sounds of the waves crashing -even from inside our rooms-was amazing!  The staff was very accommodating but not intrusive. Flory was wonderful & Jackson provided fresh coconut water daily and even brought us surfboards.  Security also patrolled the exterior of the house at night just to make sure we felt safe.  The nearby convenience store and pizza place was a bonus.  It is a short drive away from the waterfalls, Domincal, Quepos & Manuel Antonio!

Lisa, Paola & I are so grateful that you, your husband, and family and friends chose our beachfront villa. Wow, what a review! Can’t tell you just how much this means to us. When we planned and built our villa(s), we did so very deliberately on this amazing expansive beach “less traveled”in this quaint town of Playa Matapalo. Our hope and dream from the beginning has always been to share this unique experience with people just like you providing a very comfortable, unique, and well equipped villa fit for an authentic experience. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and appreciation of Flory, Jacson, Cristopher, Karen, and our entire local villa team and family. They are undoubtedly the “heart and soul” of our villas in the true sense of the word. You will all be missed! Pura Vida and we look forward to seeing you again soon. 🙏. Our warmest wishes, Perry & Paola Owners, Hosts

Everything about this stay was perfect! The location is amazing and the staff (host, groundskeeper, and security) were super amicable and helpful. Close proximity to many attractions while still feeling private. The in home massage was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Hi Alex, You were an amazing group to host. Our entire local villa team really enjoyed meeting you and contributing to your great experience. We are so happy to know that you enjoyed staying with us. We look forward to seeing again someday. Thanks for your kindness to our local villa family. Our warmest regards, Perry & Paola Owners, Hosts

We had the most magical week here! The house is gorgeous and set up perfectly to enjoy the stunning views. You can hear the waves from your bed! Being able to just step off the deck and be on the beach in a minute was heaven. We spent lots of time in the pool when it was too hot on the beach and enjoyed gorgeous sunset walks every evening. The monkeys entertained us most mornings-what a hoot! Any thing you could possibly need on vacation was here. Games and pool toys, every kitchen accessory, 2! washer/dryer combos. Everything was super clean and the beds and furniture were comfortable. But I can't say enough about what Flory added to our experience. She arranged airport transportation and car rentals, recommended and booked chefs for breakfast and dinners and generally answered any question we had. Those details took it to the next level. We would definitely stay here again. And if you choose to stay here I highly recommend Chef Leo for dinner. Outstanding meals!

Hi Karlyn, Thank you so much for your amazing review. Our local villa team so much appreciated your kindness and generosity and thoroughly enjoyed serving you. It’s families like yours that make this so worthwhile to us. We’d love to host you again in the future. We are so happy to hear that you loved the villa and yes, we must agree, being beachfront on Playa Matapalo IS magical. Our warmest regards, Perry & Paola, Hosts, Owners Flory & our entire Villa family

Honestly, this was one of the nicest places in which I’ve ever stayed. The accommodations were very upscale and pristine. Flory, the concierge, is very kind and strives to help. This was an amazing vacation for 10 people all of different ages. Paola is also very kind and accommodating. I recommend this to anyone who wants a little piece of private paradise. The beach is very private and the private chefs were amazing. I would come here again in a heartbeat.

Michelle, thank you so much for your kind words and review. Paola and I are so grateful that you chose to stay at our beachfront villa and more importantly, that you had a memorable and fulfilling experience. Flory and our entire villa family loved every moment they spent with all of you and they will miss you. Our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes Paola and Perry Your Hosts & Owners

We had a wonderful stay at Perry & Paola’s beautiful beachside home. The house and location far exceeded our expectation. The house itself was spacious and immaculate. The outdoor space was perfect! The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. We all slept comfortably, had plenty of room to spread out, and truly enjoyed every aspect of this home. Flory is the wonderful house manager and she was extremely helpful in getting our activities lined up as well as our transportation. Flory and her staff provided wonderful meals throughout our day and every person we interacted with that helped maintain the property was the definition of hospitality. I highly recommend this property to anyone that is thinking of visiting beautiful Costa Rica. We loved every second and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you to Perry, Paola, Flory, and all of the staff for a truly magical experience.

We are so grateful to you Ashley and to your family and friends. You’all were the quintessential guests…thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with the world and with our “villa family.” We hope that you made memories to last a lifetime!! Our warmest wishes, Perry, Paola, Flory, and our wonderful staff.

Beautiful and well manicured property. They have everything you need  for a wonderful family vacation. The stocked amenities,  activity options, and chef services are so easy and the food was fantastic. The beach is pretty quiet and the provided security makes you feel comfortable in the open setting. The hosts are experienced and very responsive. We will stay here again!

I don’t know where to begin in describing this amazing place. Our family of 12 spent the last 10 days here. It was more like a private resort because of the way it was impeccably maintained and the hospitality offered us. The entire house was gorgeous and the AC in each room worked beautifully. The ocean front outside area had a beautiful infinity pool (and great pool toys and rafts), bar, and lounge area. We saw monkeys, sloths, geckos, and frogs right in our own backyard! Hearing the ocean every day and night was the best! This is one of the most relaxing, beautiful places I have ever stayed. For a family of 12 to have absolutely no complaints is the best recommendation ever. A special thanks to Flory, Jacson and Christofer for making our visit so memorable.

Our family of 11 enjoyed our time together at this beautiful location! Flory was exceptional in helping arrange transportation & activities. There doesn’t appear to be nothing that she can’t do! Enjoyed gourmet meals that were incredibly delicious that would rival any 5 star restaurant prepared by Chef David! Also, fortunate to meet one of the owners (Perry) as they were staying in their 2nd rental property next door. So friendly & hospitable to their guests.

Our group of 10 friends just returned from Perry & Paola's beautiful paradise home and beach. We couldn't have asked for a more pristine and tropical setting for our Costa Rica adventures. The setting is AMAZING. The home is AMAZING. Flory (our on site friend and concierge) & the entire staff was AMAZING. Perry & Paola's home offers so many extras. -- from Flory's great assistance with excursions, to all the little touches and amenities that make your vacation easier and more enjoyable. The oceanside location is something out of a movie. Beautiful rolling waves (we bodysurfed every day), and great sand for long walks in both directions. We spent many hours in the warm pool staring at the waves and the beautiful garden -- Jackson, you are an amazing gardener! We all took many, many pictures of the flowers, and the resident sloth! The setting is truly remarkable. Inside and out, the home is beautiful. We are strategizing how to return already... PURA VIDA!

My wife is from Costa and we come visit every year. We've stayed in a lot of different houses in the southern pacific area. Paula's beachfront villas is the best place we've stayed, hands down. My mixed American/Tico family had an extremely special week. Memories we'll carry forever! Highly recommend!

The pictures are beautiful but they still do not do Paolo and Perry’s justice. We had miles of beach in both directions to ourselves most days and if any of the locals came down to the beach they were pleasant. Ideal for surfing with shallows that allow standing before catching a wave. Nauyaca Falls is just a short drive away and gorgeous with a large natural pool at the bottom to swim in. It was like something out of a travel magazine. Paolo and Perry’s property is literally 500 yards from beachside jungle where on morning walks we saw toucans , macaws, monkeys, and sloths. On our second morning while drinking coffee on the patio I literally looked up into the trees and there was a sloth sacked out in the branches above! On three nights Flori, the concierge, arranged for a chef to cook delicious meals. The price was reasonable. She also helped arrange kayaking through nearby mangroves with a terrific guide. Dominical is close by with several fun places to eat. We will be back!

Our stay was amazing! The home is beautiful and the location is absolutely perfect. The concierge was amazing and helped us book all of our activities. We will definitely be back one day.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us. Flory and all our entire local villa family were so happy to serve your family and friends and spend time with you. All the best and we hope you return someday soon. Our warmest regards, Perry & Paola

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay.  The home is perfect and laid out so nice for a large group.  Each room has a separate bathroom and private entrance.  The home sits within an easy walk to the beach.  We loved the private pool and playing on what felt like a private beach on most days.  Flory was very helpful in checking in and arranging all of our fun.

This villa is paradise!  The home is beautiful and well laid out for our group of 6 couples.   The beachfront view and easy access was worth the price on its own.   We spent a lot of time in the pool and the outside lounge where we saw more wildlife than we had on our guided tours.  Makaws flew over daily,  sloths in trees on property and a full troop of white faced monkeys visited us twice,  swinging through trees and jumping on our roof.  Flori and Jackson are so helpful and really quick to respond each time we reached out with questions.   We hope to return to this tropical paradise again.   Pura Vida!  (PS - Matapola Beach is the best beach we've ever been to!)

If you are searching for a large house in Costa Rica for a peaceful group getaway with everything at your fingertips - stop now!! This place is the answer!! We were 11 friends/family celebrating my 40th birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Playa Matapalo right out the door, a pool with a view, private and beautiful rooms (that make it feel like you have privacy but also are sharing space with family and friends when you want), and the best concierge team you could ask for!! We just fell in love with Flori, Jackson and Coco (our chef for a few nights) - they literally went above and beyond to make sure our week was perfect. We cannot wait to come back to this piece of paradise in Costa Rica!! Thank you Paola & Perry for sharing your space - we feel so fortunate!

Having lived in Costa Rica for 6 years and now coming back each year to vacation, this was hands down the BEST spot we have ever stayed in. I love matapalo and know the area very well. We have a large family and this gave everyone privacy and we could all be together!  I have already sent their listing to friends. Absolutely the best Costa Rica vacation we have ever had. Did not disappoint at all!

Susanah, Paola and I are so happy that you chose to stay with us, especially knowing that Costa Rica was your home and so close to your heart. We are grateful that you found our villa comfortable for your family and appreciate your kind words. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to offer the world a unique opportunity to stay somewhere very special and beautiful. Matapalo is an absolute gem. The local people including our amazing “villa family” who work with us add so much to the experience and the wildlife and expansive beach are the reasons why we built our villa(s) here. Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone, especially your friends. We look forward to your return someday! Our Warmest Regards, Perry & Paola

The pictures do not do it justice. The house is beautiful and the view serene. The locals are friendly and they get to use the beach as well. The house is stocked with every appliance. The pool has many many toys for the kids to play with and boogie boards for the beach. Everything you could possibly want for an afternoon in or activities with provided. The house staff was amazing and they had great recommendations for restaurant and even made reservations for us. Everything about this house was perfect.

We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning home directly on one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches we’ve ever seen. The location is absolutely perfect—secluded yet close to Dominical, Uvita, Manuel Antonio, and Quepos, giving us the best of both worlds. The home itself was immaculate, spacious, and the ideal size for our party of 7, including two kids (ages 7 & 9). It truly felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed the pool and having the beach practically to ourselves every single day. Our hosts and Flory were excellent communicators throughout our stay, always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations. Their hospitality made the entire experience even more special. We absolutely fell in love with Costa Rica and can't wait to return! Highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Pura vida!!

We were a group of 11 with 5 kids and it was the perfect place for multi-family connection. The kids loved the pool and quick walk to the beach. The adults could relax while the kids stayed busy and had so much fun together. Flori and Jackson were so helpful as concierge and groundskeeper. Thank you Flori and Jackson! We are so grateful for the care and consideration, we had a great stay!

The photos and description don't do this gem of a stay justice. Paola's Villas are truly magical and one of a kind. I've seen nothing comparable. Imagine having a little 5-star resort all to yourselves, down to an amazing concierge, Flory, who can arrange almost anything and help you with the little things that will make your holiday more relaxing and enjoyable. Every little design detail, including a squeaky clean kitchen, bathrooms, and bed linens, comfortable beds and lounge chairs, and manicured grounds (to name a few), made our trip relaxing and comfortable. Perry & Paola's staff are incredible, and we had the chance to interact with Flory and Jackson most days. They truly helped make our stay perfect. The bunks in two bedrooms were terrific for the kiddos, and we loved that all the bedrooms were en suite. The location is quiet and a quick drive to Dominical for most needs. It feels as if you have a mostly private beach. I can't praise this rental enough! Pura Vida!

This home is amazing! The location worked out well for our group. We are definitely coming back to this place. Thank you for a great vacation!!!

Everything is as described…beautiful home & location is perfect…staff was welcoming & very helpful in arranging everything from excursions to massages & chef dinners..we had a great time…only negative is beachfront isn’t always private…public beach where cars can drive & park & often spent the entire day…Everything else was lovely…

Thanks so much for your review. As hosts, Paola and I are intimately involved in the experience of every guest. Since this is our very first review that received a 4-star ( all others 5), We felt it was especially important to respond publicly. Please know that our staff all live locally and we are always positioned to handle issues that may arise in “real time.” As far as the beaches in costa rica, they are “all” public. It is rare to find a home that is literally on the water such as ours. While there are times that locals come and enjoy the beach and do have access to park in front of the villa, these times are exceptions and not common and usually occur on Sundays (and National Holidays). The Costa Rican people are wonderful and their occasional festivities beachside add an element of authenticity. That being said, you will enjoy the constant sound of the ocean day and night as well as stunning sunrises and sunsets and an expansive beach that stretches for miles in both directions. In an added note to the public, we did receive a private note from Renee regarding some issues which we addressed in real time and some that we were “never informed” about. Our wish as hosts is that we’d rather hear about “any” issue in real time so that we can respond in “real time.” Paola and I establish a chat group with each and every guest that also includes our consierge so please never hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you again for your feedback and to all who join us in the future. We are a family business who take pride in offering our villa(s) located in an authentic typical Costa Rica community on an expansive beach less traveled. Our staff of Costa Rican Natives are amazing and help our travelers with all aspects of their stay in the most personal way including: transportation, private chef services, shopping for you if needed, child care, support to help with cooking and cleaning during your stay, activities planning, helping book private services such as massages at the villa, private surf lessons and more. In this sense, we believe that we operate on a different level than most airbnbs. Our Warmest Regards, Perry and Paola

This is one of those places you wish you could only say awful things--but only so you can always book it for yourself. Perry & Paola's place is incredible--a shaded beach with nothing but miles of beautiful, practically empty beach. When looking in from the water, you can see nothing but trees and mountains. The beach right in front, however, is public and locals will drive up and park--enjoy a little Tico party. :) The house itself is incredible and almost like being at a hotel, with each bedroom having its own exterior door and bathroom, and then the common kitchen and living room. It was perfect for our family introverts who need a little quiet time from the kids sometimes. We spent most of our time in the outdoor area (seating area and pool). The best part was probably the staff--the Villa Family is amazing. Flory & her family took care of everything from breakfast a few times to our transportation and sending us to the best grocery stores. We would have stayed forever.

It can not be overstated how much raw beauty is around this area. The management of the house were beyond helpful, warm and welcoming. The beaches and wildlife were fantastic. Don’t go eat on the towns. Have Floribeth or Jose, or one of the other chefs come to cook. It’s well worth it. All this made it exceptionally hard to come home. I would come stay here again and again.

The house and property is beautiful and safe for my children. The private beach was the best we’ve ever been to. What put this rental above others was the wonderful staff. Genuinely amazing tikos, extremely knowledgeable, helpful and catering. Flori and her brother were amazing caterers. The house basically came with our own tour planners and contacts. The friendliness and helpfulness was worth their weight in gold.

Not only is the location lovely but the host really went above and beyond offering suggestions for activities, accommodating a very late arrival but also making sure we had everything we needed to make the best of our stay even when the weather had other ideas in mind. The communication was just also top notch every step of the way. Would  highly recommend staying at the location and with Perry & Paola!

The house and pool are gorgeous and well maintained, and located in a beautiful area with easy access to the beach. The hosts and concierge were extremely responsive and accommodating, and provided a wealth of information about everything we could possibly need during our stay. We would highly recommend this one of a kind "hidden gem"!

We can’t say enough good things about this stay. Hosts set up a text chain one month prior to our stay to answer all our questions. The home is well staffed and safe. It sits on a picturesque beach of dark sands and green palms. The waves were gentle and kid friendly. We adored the concierge Flori and hired her and her sister to cook Costa Rican food for us. The meals were delicious and we loved them both. Flori also arranged for horses to meet us on the beach for a morning ride, where we saw sloths and monkeys and exotic birds. The rooms and linens were lovely. Each has its own bathroom and air conditioning unit. Great care was put into the design. The hosts also ordered a baby crib and chair to better accommodate us. We were about halfway between Quepos and Uvita. Both towns have plenty of parks and activities and were 25-35 minutes away. This was a world class stay and we strongly recommend the property to visitors. One of our happiest vacations. A clear 5 star experience.

Thank you so much for your overwhelmingly kind words, especially recognizing Flori and Karen. Our hearts are “full” knowing that your family enjoyed your experience at the Villa. It truly is a very special and beautiful spot and we built this home in Matapalo in hopes tnat we would find people like you to enjoy it for exactly what it is…a beautiful beach, with wildlife….a true cultural experience….a place to relax, enjoy one another, and make memories. Nothing is more important to us than serving our guests in the best way we can. We will miss you!!! With deepest gratitude, Perry, Paola, Jacson, Flori, Karen, Sandra, and Cristopher.

This home sits perfectly on the beach and is located near many small cities with endless great restaurants and jungle excursions with water falls and rivers to swim. Definitely rent a 4x4 vehicle so that you can explore the area. The staff was always very helpful and supportive. Jacson often brought us coconuts to drink from and pointed out the sloths in the trees. Flori was always available and helpful and cooks a wonderful breakfast. We saw the troop of monkeys many times and iguanas and beautiful birds. The garden and landscape is beautiful. The location is lush and beautiful and perfect. You will sleep and rise to the sound of the ocean with the mountains in the backdrop. It’s a small, local community with grocery and amenities close by, but not saturated with tourists. My family of seven fell in love with Costa Rica here. You will be baptized in the ocean and the beach and the mountains and the jungle and the kind and friendly people all at once. Pura Vida.

Above and beyond our expectations! The location was fantastic and the concierge level service was  helpful and thoughtful.  Floribeth was such a great help with everything!  We enjoyed the Chef service and breakfast on a couple of different occasions.  With Floribeth's help we also arranged onsite massages for our whole crew.  The location was fantastic as we were able to visit several of the local attractions.  We had a group of 12 people and the was plenty of room for everyone. We have stayed in Costa Rica a couple of times and this place is our new favorite!  I am already missing my morning swim in the ocean and the fantastic sunsets.

We had the most amazing experience in Costa Rica this week. This house is absolutely stunning and the location can not be beat! We had AMAZING food from our private chef. And Flori was such a welcoming soul. Any questions we had were quickly answered and taken care of by Flori, Paola, & Perry!! 100% recommend this beautiful home! We will most likely be back very soon! :)

Paola, Flori, Jacson, Sandra, Cristopher, Karen, and I so much appreciate you sharing your experience with us and with others to see. We take so much pride in trying to provide a comfortable and uniquely located Villa for all of our guests. We are a family run business and by that I mean that we have working with us a group of amazing Costa Ricans who are “our family” and we mean that in the truest sense of the word. Playa Matapalo, in the small community town of Matapalo gives travelers a unique opportunity to stay somewhere special on an expansive beach less traveled and yet close to some amazing national parks, waterfalls, and access to activities for all ages. We are so thrilled that you were happy with our communication with you during your stay, and we are grateful for your comments about our villa. Our chef(s) truly enjoyed cooking for your family and friends. We look forward to hosting you again some day soon. The monkeys and sloths also send their regards!!!! Pura Vida!!!

Amazing facilities/pool outdoor entertainment area. We had 14 people (7 couples) never felt too small very spread out to give all guests their space.  Very nice whole house/pool audio system. Almost private like expansive black sand beach.  Perry Paola Flory and team took care of us the moment we booked several months ago to after we left.   Transfers,tours, food, supplies, chef, rentals, last minute details Ice and limes!  No detail missed can’t say enough 5 star service.  We will be back.

Thank you so much James. We are honored, grateful, and humbled by your kind words. We are a family run Villa in every sense of the word and our intent is to help guests with all aspects of their stay with us. Your review is so meaningful to us because it gives the readers a sense of what we’re all about, not only in regards to the villa itself, but also, your “entire experience”. Our entire “Villa Family” wishes all the best to your and yours! Pura Vida!!

Let me start off by saying WOW!  My family of 9 had such a wonderful time. There’s so much room for everyone to relax and have a great time. The house has absolutely everything you need from cooking, chairs, towels, games and views!! We saw sloths and monkeys right in the back yard. Flory was so amazing to us. Her alone made this trip so special. Everything she recommended was such a hit! We can’t wait to come back! Pura Vida!!!!!

Stewart, Paola and I thank you so for your review. Most of all, a very special thanks to you and the family for treating Flory like one of your own. She misses you guys already. You were the quintessential guests. We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Pura Vida Our Best, Perry and Paola

What an amazing location and house. Only about 6-8 minutes from a main road to access all of the surrounding areas very quickly, the house is on a beautiful beach, which is quite private. The house was fantastic for our group of (8), and we definitely plan to return. Thanks for being great hosts!
