Mark Whitney

Awesome house, looks just like the pictures. Monkeys everyday, sloth in the trees, Scarlett macaws flew by, amazing views, nice cool pool, well stocked kitchen…just wonderful. Staff was great, house was super clean, Jorge was an awesome communicator and helped us book multiple excursions. 5 stars all around.

Mark is a next level host. The house was perfect for our family of 18. Great location and a true Costa Rica experience... monkeys included. Jorge's concierge service was next level. Any request we had. He took care of it immediately including food and drink transportation, general questions and recommendations. Highly recommended we hope we get to return some day.

Amazing villa! Lots of animals come to visit you—it's exceptional! (family of monkeys, couple of toucans!) Breathtaking view! Very warm and welcoming décor!

After spending the first part of our vacation in LaFortuna and doing all the recommended adventures, we were VERY happy to be in such a place of luxury. The minute we walked in the door, my 8 year old nephew said it perfectly, ”finally the luxury we deserve”.From the time I confirmed our reservation till the moment we left, Jorge was available and helpful. Take advantage of having groceries delivered for you. It was a great thing. We hired a chef for one night’s dinner and it was such a treat. The house has beautiful views from every room. The pool was the highlight for the children. The visits from the local natural habitants were exciting. We had monkeys and a great serenade by a couple of Toucans. There is a restaurant up the hill you can walk to. We also walked to the beach from the house. The housekeeper comes every day and will even do your laundry. There is a maintenance person who keeps everything outside clean. Stay here if you can!

INCREDIBLE!!!! Pictures don't do it justice. From the initial contact, everything was smooth. I had been to CR before but brought 3 more families with me. The place is so big, it never gets crowded...unless you count the monkeys that come swimming with you...LOL... Perfect location in between downtown beaches and Downtown Quepos. Will definitely stay at this house every year whether it's just one couple or 6 couples! From every bedroom, to every window, to the pool, and up to the third story hammocks, there is an awesome view! Toucans every morning tapping on the windows, Howler monkeys in the evening and the troop of white face that play all around the property. Want to see a sloth, as soon as we opened the rental car door upon arrival, one was right above us! No need to go to Manual Antonio Park, just stay here and interact yourself! Definitely coming back!!!

The property was fantastic. It was clean and well maintained. The random visits from the wildlife was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids. The beautiful views and great location made it perfect vacation for our big family.

Casa Vista Oceana was awesome! The house matched the photos, beautiful, roomy, private villas, and what a view! We traveled as a group of 10, and not at any moment did it feel like it was crowded, plenty of room and privacy. The house came with a housekeeper, what a treat! She came every morning, straightened up, and even did our laundry! The pool and deck were also cleaned every morning, and fresh pool towels were left. We also had the option of private chef services, we took full advantage and had them cook every evening for us. The food and presentation was fabulous! The chefs were open to cooking any kind of cuisine, and they outdid themselves! The house also had a concierge, he was on point. He was extremely helpful while planning the trip, and once we were there, he was readily available to help with anything we needed including transportation, excursions, and groceries. All in all it was a great trip! I would definitely stay here again.

Marked reached out personally he was very friendly and nice Danny. He turned it over to his concierge. It’s a great property. We enjoyed the view all day every day house is very beautiful.

In looking at previous reviews of Mark's home I was struggling to identify what I could possibly add to the deservedly stellar reviews he has received in the past and I guess in summary all I can say is every positive thing you read understates the reality. This is a really remarkable property and comes with a staff that is attentive without being intrusive and without exception there to insure you have a fabulous vacation. Jorge, Mark's concierge, started the moment we booked helping us to plan our vacation, find excursions we would like, getting them booked for us and arranging payment. Mark, Jorge and the chef's, who we had prepare breakfast and dinner most days, went way out of their way to accommodate food allergies folks in our group had including going far and wide to source ingredients and insuring tour operators who served food knew of the allergies and would accommodate them. All our meals were wonderful and fun! You will not be disappointed booking this property.

Beautiful place with an astonishing view of the ocean and Manuel Antonio. We had an amazing time. Host was always quick to responde.

Incredible stay - our group had an amazing time and were so thankful to have stayed at Mark’s place - highly recommend!

Mark’s house was AMAZING! The views were breathtaking, you can hear the waves from the house, you can walk to the beach and restaurants. You have a personal concierge who books excursions for you, a daily maid who cleans the house, dishes, and even washes your clothes daily. There were constantly monkeys on the balconies or around the pool. Mostly capuchins, and one titi monkey. We saw macaws right outside the house, and sloths walking down to the beach. The house was huge, clean, and even had a workout room with a pool table and fuseball table!

This property was so amazing. Very peaceful and relaxing, the pool was amazing!

This was one of the most beautiful airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in, amazing views of the ocean from nearly every room, house was well stocked with everything we needed - toys for the children - chef that came recommended was amazing - and host was so quick to reply and help us! 10/10 would book again

Casa Vista Oceans combines the best of all the Airbnb virtues. Beautiful home, outstanding view,, comedic animals (monkeys) right on the patio, a sympathetic, good natured host, and helpful. personalized connections to local chef, masseuse, and guide services. Mark is a man who knows what he is doing, wants to do it, and executes superbly.
