Vista de Oro | Private Peninsula • 180° Ocean View - Villas for Rent in Coco, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Positives: -Absolutely Epic view. The house is perched on a hill with 180 degrees of pacific blue. I have never seen a view like this! -house was very clean. Rooms were big. -John and the management team were great. They are extremely responsive even at odd hours. He gave us recommendations for activities and booked them for us. All of there recs were top notch. -It’s the last house on the hill so it felt very safe. -incredible outdoor sound system surrounding the entire pool area that projects at the house like an amphitheater. -definitely get the private chef Marco. Excellent food and overall experience for a decent price. Negatives: -out of their control but they were doing construction on a building next door that started at 6am which was a wake up call. -Not walkable, you will definitely need a rental car. -WiFi only worked in the outside living area, however John mentioned that they are upgrading this now to extend to the bedrooms. Overall it exceeded expectations.

We were amazed by the outdoor living space and phenomenal views. The property features beautiful flowers and lush vegetation along with fascinating wildlife. It was the perfect setting for our family to spend the week.

Very friendly and attentive,  the property is incredible...

Muy amable y atento,  la propiedad increíble...

We were amazed by the view we had from this beautiful property. The road up to it is somewhat steep and winding but well worth the trip. We loved the outdoor common area and the swimming pool. Juan Carlos was an excellent host. Our son’s family arrived well after dark. Juan Carlos met them in town and guided them up to the house so that they wouldn’t have to find us in the dark. He was very good about answering our endless supply of questions. The house is close to the town of Coco, many restaurants, two beaches, and several grocery stores. We would definitely recommend this place for a Costa Rican vacation.

We had three families, 11 people, and the house gave us plenty of space. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and there were plenty of bathrooms for all. The views in person were beyond amazing, even better than the photos, and the in-door/out-door living space allowed us to enjoy them all day long. The pool was clean and the patio area provided many relaxing lounging areas with shade. We watched the sunsets each night before enjoying a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Marco. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the chef and bartender services. Everything we ate was delicious from the predinner snacks, to the drinks prepared by Manuel, to the beautifully presented dinners. There was enough food to enjoy the leftovers for lunch. Juan Carlos was very responsive and greeted us upon arrival. He helped us navigate anything we needed including excursions, trips to town, and massages with a masseuse that came to the house. We would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the Villa was perfect. The pictures don’t do justice to the view. It’s even more beautiful in person. We were a group of 11 and had more than enough space. Kitchen needs a little update, however it’s still very good and totally worth the small compromise of having a this view and a reasonable price. Juan Carlos is a fabulous host. He was always responsive and available if we needed him. Henri, the pool cleaner was also very kind. We would definitely come back again.

The villa was really beautiful with a gorgeous view.  It was very private and quiet.  The 10 of us were very comfortable there.  You do need a car, but it’s only a 15 minute drive to El Coco.  It was relatively easy to get US cash out of the ATM’s in town.  Juan Carlos was really a great help in setting up excursions around the area.

My group of ten said the house was even better than we expected.  Juan Carlos was very helpful with everything.

Private location with amazing views. Juan Carlos was extremely responsive and supportive whenever we needed anything, and he helped us suggest and book a few of our daytrips. The kitchen is pretty basic and could use some upgrades (believed to be in progress), but it worked out for our group, as we ate out most nights.

if you’re looking for a very special vacation for a special occasion, I highly recommend booking with Juan Carlos! Every recommendation he made worked out excellent from a private chef to a photographer He was very responsive to every question or need that we had. Again, I highly recommend Juan Carlos!!! Without one single doubt that your needs will be met Thank you, Juan Carlos

Our group of 9 stayed at this stunning villa in Playa del Coco, and it was an unforgettable experience! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the space was perfect for celebrating my mom’s birthday. We especially loved the private chef for dinner and the relaxing massages, which made the celebration extra special. The villa itself is beautiful, but there are some signs of wear and tear. During our stay, we encountered a few issues: some bathroom lights were out, requiring our friends to navigate in the dark at night, the ceiling fans occasionally cut out, making it uncomfortably warm, and we found some dirty dishes in the cabinets. There were also issues with flushing the toilets and a noticeable sewer smell. While our host was friendly and helpful, he was sometimes slow to respond, and unfortunately, the maintenance issues were not fixed during our stay. While the villa itself is beautiful, with more attention to detail and maintenance, this would be a wonderful property.

Juan Carlos did everything he could to make sure we had the best time ever! I highly recommend booking this Villa. It really does have the best views.

Our large family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It has the best view of any place we have ever stayed. The chef and bartending services are a MUST. You will not be disappointed. Juan Carlos was excellent and very helpful. We have moved on to a different area with a new house and wish we could be back here. The view simply cannot be beat and the surroundings are amazing. The only thing listed but not available is an office space. We would love to come back. A+++++

This place was unbelievable. The views were absolutely amazing. It was a mansion villa at the top of the hill overlooking the ocean. It couldn’t have been anymore picturesque. The bedrooms and bathrooms were huge and clean. The layout/architecture was very unique. Juan Carlos the host was awesome. He’s friendly, responsive and helpful. I enjoyed everything about this place. It was one of the best places I’ve ever been to in my life. I would highly recommend Juan’s villa to anyone coming to Costa Rica.

I travelled all around the world and it's the best place I have ever stayed at. The location and the VIEW is so perfect. We were 14 staying at the casa, and there is enough room for everyone. We were in Costa for my wedding, and we had plan to marry on a beach, and the day before, we arrived at the casa and changed all our plan to get married with the most amazing view! It ended up being the perfect wedding! Juan has been the best! He was amazing at helping me, even weeks before, always being so responsive. He did all the shopping for the wedding feast (2 meals, 15 people), and set up everything for us (even went to Liberia to pick up the wedding cake). The biggest thank you to chef Marco, wow this was the best meal we ever had ! So delicious and the set up of was impressive! A big thank you to the host Carlos, you did an amazing job at everything and big thank you to the bartender Manual, your drinks were the BEST and you are a great dancer too! 10 stars ! Can't wait to go back :)

This home had amazing views. We loved that it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. Loved the pool and open living space for us to be together as a group of 8 adults. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. The home had great bones and with the upcoming renovations that we heard were going to start soon, it will be even more spectacular with the upgrades that are planned.  We would definitely stay here again!!  Everyone in our group love this Villa. We even cancelled one of our tours in order to just stay, hang out and swim in the villa.  Juan Carlos was so attentive and responsive. He was a great host.

My family and friends spent a week at Vista del Oro and it was the best vacation I've ever had. The view is unmatched, Juan Carlos took care of all the details including airport transfers, excursions, chef services. I would highly recommmed adding the chef services to your stay as that made the trip magical for me. As a mom of 5 children, having a delicious breakfast and dinner prepared and cleaned up each night was amazing. The chef prepared delicious healthy meals. Watching the sun come up every morning was beautiful and so relaxing--the perfect way to start the day! After a week stay I came feeling rested, relaxed, healthy, and in awe of the beauty of the world. A huge thanks to Juan Carlos for making our trip wonderful!

Villa de Vista Oro offered plenty of space for privacy, the open common area was unique for planning the day and frozen drinks at sunset. The view from every lounge chair or swing was breathtaking. It was fun to watch the birds, listen to howler monkeys, and my favorite, whale watching! If possible, 10 stars goes to Juan Carlos! Attentive from the start, he was amazing. Arranging, rearranging activities, transportation, he lives to his motto of “your happiness is my goal” with the best, reassuring smile. He went out of his way to save the day several times, like when my friend broke his arm, when we ripped the exhaust off the rental, or the time there was several pounds of fresh caught fish hanging out of his personal vehicle. What can we say, he is the man! Gracias Juan Carlos for introducing us to the Mahi Mahi fishing crew, Gino with the tours, and of course Manuel and Monte, the private bartender and chef, who exceeded expectations. We are so grateful, our stay was "Pura Vida!"

I cannot say enough about this magnificent villa! Beautiful 180-degree view of the ocean. You can see both sunrise and sunset!! Also, Juan Carlos was exceptional!! He provided clear instructions and extremely helpful suggestions. He gave us information we didn't know we needed! We felt that he  exponentially made our vacation the best possible, providing detailed advice and observations about all the excursions.

We took our blended family of 14 to Costa Rica, with the goal of forging stronger relationships. The trip was amazing and relationships are stronger than before.  Juan Carlos was quick to meet our every need (no request was too big or too small), the amazing Chef (Marcos) and Bartender (Manuel) would serve us incredible food and delicious drinks.  We felt like we were at a 5 star resort!!   The entire family had a wonderful time, it was worth every penny.  The views, the sunsets and the cool breezes did not disappoint.  We can hardly wait to come and see our new friends again.  Thank you for helping us build these memories, Priceless!

The place was peaceful and beautiful. My family had a great time.

Our group of friends and I cannot say enough of how awesome Juan our host was. Juan was always proactive, quick to respond prior, during and even after departure. Extremely attentive to our requests to the extent of even making sure that we got our spa treatments overlooking the ocean and in making dinner reservations without any problems. Wr were delighted that the property was kept clean throughout our stay. The outdoor living areas are outstanding with breathtaking views of the pacific coast. The whole experience of our stay was very peaceful and serene. You can expect a bit of a bumpy car/van journey to reach the top it’s well worth the journey to achieve a very unique stay and positive experience. We can highly recommend to others.

I cannot possibly put into words the feeling when we first entered this villa & it opened up to the most beautiful, expansive ocean view we have ever seen. Vista de Oro sits on a hill & is the last villa on this road. The privacy is unbelievable & the amazing house manager Juan Carlos told us to enjoy our music as loud as we liked as only the ocean would hear it! We chose to have the villa’s private staff (manager, chef, bartender, housekeeper) while we were there over New Year’s. The villa is stunningly beautiful & perfect for our large family of 13 with 6 bedrooms. We had incredible meals thanks to Marcos & amazing drinks thanks to Manuel. We appreciated every moment we spent here swimming & reading by their gorgeous pool & dancing in the sitting/bar area on New Year’s Eve! We played cards & dice and will never forget our experience here. Juan Carlos is incredible & arranged for all our transport needs & activities while in CR (JC Adventures). He & this Villa/staff are such gifts!

The house is exactly like the pictures. Very clean, very peaceful and relaxing. Your living room and dining room are outside you just felt one with nature. Beds extremely comfortable. Showers were great but lacked really hot water. Found everything we needed and if you didn’t Marlene the house keeper was there everyday all day. Juan is super helpful shows up every day. Only animals we saw at the house was a raccoon, crabs and black birds. The house is located at the top of a VERY STEEP hill. You are not going to walk anywhere unless you are an amazing athlete. The first beach is a 9 minute drive so very close. Town is about 20 minutes but there are family shops for drinks or snacks along the road. I would stay there again the view is breathtaking and the pool fantastic. We used there chef and bartender for just 5 people, great. Had massages beside the pool. Only thing at the end they handed us envelope and expected tips for the house staff.
