DO NOT stay at this property. I have used Airbnb for more than 10 years and, during this trip alone, stayed in seven other properties across Costa Rica without a single issue. This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to leave a review like this. Our experience was so unacceptable that we made the decision to leave on the third day rather than complete our 10 day booking. That was not a decision we took lightly. As this matter is being pursued through the appropriate channels, I won't be sharing the full details publicly at this stage. However, I feel a responsibility to warn other guests. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this property in any way and would strongly advise booking elsewhere.
Host Response
The guest chose to end the stay early and requested a refund from Airbnb, citing environmental conditions typical of Costa Rica’s South Caribbean, all clearly disclosed in our listing before booking. Airbnb reviewed the case, rejected the guest’s refund request, and confirmed that our listing had provided all necessary information before booking. After departure, we discovered significant unreported damage. The guest declined responsibility; AirCover reviewed evidence, approved our claim and issued reimbursement. No concerns were reported during the stay or before departure, so we were never given the opportunity to address any issue. For this reason, the statement that the matter was still ongoing does not accurately reflect the facts, as Airbnb had already reached its decision before this review was published. We respect every guest’s right to share an opinion. However, we believe reviews should reflect the actual stay rather than a dispute already reviewed and decided by Airbnb.

Best airbnb ever!!! my husband and I came here for our honeymoon and this was the PERFECT home for us!! very private, fully gated, lots of trees and full of small wildlife everywhere. The pool and jacuzzi were awesome and very much needed! We used both everyday. the outdoor fridge and cooking equipment was amazing. We BBQd outside one night and had a blast. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. There are 2 grocery stores right down the road about a 30 second drive, very convenient. The little town was soooo cool! So many little shops and restaurants right on the beach!! This beach, BTW was the best beach I've ever been to. The hammock upstairs, level with the trees to be able to watch the birds, was an awesome amenity. In the backyard we saw agoutis, a toucan, a bunch of different lizards, and frogs! If you love nature, this house is for you!! We are definitely going to come back every year and make this a tradition.

We loved our stay at Ory & Jimmy’s home. The outdoor space is amazing, and we spent the majority of our time outside in the pool and hot tub. The bed was very comfortable and the AC gave reprieve from the humidity. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need, however we didn’t cook much as there are so many delicious restaurants in walking distance. When we experienced a utility issue, Ory & James were very quick in responding & resolving it. The area is very walkable with groceries, a pharmacy, tons of restaurants, and beaches close to the house. We didnt use our car at all. I can’t think of anything that would have improved our stay. Ory and Jimmy are wonderful, kind hosts and you can tell they love to share their tropical oasis with others.

Ci ha fatto davvero piacere leggere il vostro racconto. Sapere che avete trascorso tanto tempo a godervi la casa e soprattutto gli spazi esterni, tra piscina, momenti di relax e vasca idromassaggio, è per noi una grande soddisfazione. Siamo felici che abbiate trovato comfort e praticità durante tutto il soggiorno, sia all’interno della casa, sia nella comodità di avere ristoranti, servizi e spiagge vicini. È stato un piacere ospitarvi e potervi offrire assistenza quando necessario. Grazie ancora per aver soggiornato qui, speriamo di potervi accogliere nuovamente in futuro.

Ory was an absolutely outstanding host—hands down one of the best we’ve ever had on Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, Ory was there to greet us warmly at the door with a big smile, which immediately made us feel welcome and special. He took the time to give us a thorough, thoughtful tour of the entire place, pointing out all the little details, how everything works, the best local spots, and even some thoughtful extras she left for us (like snacks and clear instructions). Her hospitality went way above and beyond what we expected. The place was spotless, beautifully set up, and exactly as described (if not better). Ory was super responsive throughout our stay and genuinely seemed to care that we had a fantastic time. We can’t recommend Ory highly enough—if you’re lucky enough to book with her, you’ll be in great hands. Thank you, Ory, for making our trip so memorable! We’d stay again in a heartbeat.

Our stay at this beautiful Airbnb in Costa Rica was truly nourishing for the soul. The space felt serene, peaceful, and so thoughtfully designed. With a private pool and jacuzzi, it quickly became our own little sanctuary—a place where we could truly slow down and relax. What made this stay especially special was our host, Ory. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with such warmth and care. You can feel how much heart she has poured into this home—every detail was considered, from a well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms to thoughtful touches like candles to help with mosquitoes. Nothing felt overlooked. Anytime we had questions, whether about the house or the area, Ory was incredibly responsive and always happy to help. We left feeling genuinely cared for and so grateful for the experience. This truly is a little oasis, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Our stay at Ory and Jimmy’s place was absolutely incredible! They were amazing hosts who responded immediately. Ory even met us on the first day to get to know us and show us around. The house itself was perfect for our family of five. A beautiful jungle home with AC in the bedrooms, giving us comfort and privacy while still being in a perfect location. We could walk to supermarkets, an empanada stand, restaurants, the beach, and activities like the JRC. We hesitated to book this, but it was absolutely worth every penny. We relaxed in the hot tub every afternoon-even in the warm climate—and the outdoor kitchen was such a fun and unique feature. The whole vibe of the property was so special and truly added to the magic of our vacation. Every local restaurant we tried served delicious food made with love. We We walked or rode our rented bikes everywhere, and when needed , Ubers were quick and very affordable. I can’t stress enough how wonderful our vacation was because of this Airbnb.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure to meet you and host your family. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the house, the location, and the special atmosphere. It’s especially great to hear that you appreciated the outdoor kitchen by the jacuzzi — a fun extra space for enjoying meals outside, even more than the fully equipped main indoor kitchen, which is always available for our guests. We’re also delighted that you could relax in the hot water jacuzzi every afternoon. Many guests are pleasantly surprised by how much they end up enjoying the jacuzzi in the tropical climate, often even more than the nearby pool, and we’re so happy it added to the magic of your vacation. It’s wonderful to hear that you also made the most of the local restaurants, shops, and nearby activities, and that everything contributed to such a memorable family holiday. We would be truly happy to welcome you back anytime!❤️ Warm regards, Ory & Jimmy

Amazing! We considered quite a few places and decided to splurge on this one because of its tropical property, location, privacy, pool and hot tub. We love hot tubs but weren’t sure we would use it much in a warm location. But we used it a lot and loved it! Just book it! You won’t regret it!!

Luxury experience, thank you!! It was Amazing, We absolutely loved it!!❤️ I love Costa Rica, I’ve spent quite a few long stays in Costa Rica over the years, especially in the southern Caribbean, so I know the area quite well and I can honestly say this is my favorite house. We felt like we were in our own private paradise!! The pool is amazing, the hot jacuzzi is absolutely a must, and the sound of the waterfalls makes everything feel so special. All around you, there’s the jungle with thousands of tropical plants and flowers. We even saw toucans and a sloth in the trees just above the pool!! The kids were so happy! The house has a unique, cozy atmosphere, it feels like real Caribbean style, but also with all the luxury you could wish for. Everything is really well thought out and it made us feel like we were on a proper luxury vacation, while still surrounded by nature. From my experience, I know it’s almost impossible to find this combination. The house is super clean, fresh and ever

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A luxury experience in the heart of nature Our stay at Villa Elita, Cocles was an unforgettable experience. This luxury villa is surrounded by lush nature, which provides an atmosphere of peace, privacy and total disconnection, offering an excellent location near the Caribbean Sea and the main attractions of the area. The villa is equipped with all the amenities one could wish for: spacious rooms, super comfortable beds, air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen and a private pool that became our favorite place to relax. Every detail is designed to provide comfort and well-being. It's the ideal place for those seeking a perfect mix of comfort, exclusivity and contact with nature. Undoubtedly, a jewel of the Costa Rican Caribbean that deserves to be among the best Airbnb options. 100% recommended. We would definitely come back.
