2BR Villa in Manuel Antonio

Adrienne

Excellent, 1 week ago

My granddaughters and I truly enjoyed our vacation to Costa Rica. Villa la Vista was so incredibly beautiful even more so than the beautiful photos online. Our concierge, Sigrid was very helpful and accommodating the whole trip through. It was a once in a lifetime event! The house was very clean, the AC was great, beds were comfy and cannot beat the views.

We had an amazing stay at Villa La Vista! It was the perfect location and space for our family of six. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and having a pool onsite. The housekeeping and laundry service were exceptional. Stacy was the perfect host. She was available when needed but allowed us to really enjoy our stay as well. We definitely look forward to visiting Costa Rica again and we would love to stay at Villa La Vista again!

This beach villa was gorgeous with stunning views from EVERY window in the house! Pictures do not do justice to the overall serenity you experience while staying here. We had daily visits from monkeys, iguanas and birds! Stacy and her team were incredibly responsive to any question or request we had. We timed the walk down to the beach and it is exactly 10 minutes, but it is VERY steep and much less fun coming up. However, with 4WD, it was super easy and fun to drive right on to the beach—ignore the man who says you will get a ticket, he just wants to charge you to park at the road edge. Also, check the tides to maximize beach time with low tides. The beach area is beautiful and picturesque! We also agree that with the breeze and fans you don’t need AC in the common areas of the house; AC in the bedrooms was perfect. Remember your eye masks for the 5 am sun (and maybe earplugs for the 4 am howler monkeys)...it’s all worth it for an amazing stay!

Stacy’s place was private with amazing views. You can hear the waves pounding all day and night from the house. We had a few issues which Stacy worked with us on promptly and to mutual understanding. House did not have AC in the main gathering areas. Makes it tough to be with family during warm time of the year. Windows had broken or missing screens so you could not vent without critters and bugs coming in at night. Washer is not on site, but laundry services are provided for a fee. These issue will most likely be fixed or the ad will be more descriptive for the next guest, as I believe Stacy will address per our correspondence.

Four of us enjoyed a stay at Villa La Vista and had a fantastic time! We watched sloths, iguanas, capuchins, and birds from the pool and balconies. The nearby beach is quiet and pristine, and walkable from the house. Note the hill where the house is located is walkable, but seriously steep. Same for if you want to walk towards the restaurants & shops. If you don't feel like walking, Uber was a quick and inexpensive option. We often Ubered up and walked down. Stacy provided excellent local recommendations; we particularly enjoyed Emilio's and Cafe Milagro. We also made use of the recommended grocery stores and a pharmacy nearby. Stacy is also a very responsive host; she'll quickly investigate and solve your problems big or small. Book it! It is even better in real life!

Stacy's home was perfect for our time in Manuel Antonio. She has a wonderful guide of what to do in the area which we used often. The home was clean and well kept and had everything you might need! We really enjoyed seeing the pool person and cleaning people each day and they were very friendly! Even though our Spanish was not perfect, we were able to communicate easily. It was a great location for what we needed and a lovely holiday!
