Arbórea Villas

8/10 Good

"Getting to the property was a little confusing as a foreigner. Eventually I found it & everything was good. Communication with the host was good. Any issues that occurred I was able to inform the host & it was handled promptly. I understand it being in the jungle & or nature habitat so there was naturally bugs & pests, scared me a little but it was fine. I really enjoyed the home it was beautiful!"

Elegant 5BR Villa with Private Pool & Jacuzzi

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip was phenomenal. The staff at You Get Here were all so helpful. They supported us with transportation to and from SJO, rental cars, private chefs, in home massage, and groceries. We had 13 people, (3 under 10, 2 teenagers, and 8 adults). The home had ample space for us. Everything about this experience was absolutely the best. I’ve never experienced such a seamless vacation - and it’s crazy to say that about an international trip. The area was lovely. It is very sleepy but we had plenty to do and see. We are all trying to figure out how soon we can go back. I would recommend this stay and Stephen as a host to anyone."

Amazing Whitewater View Of The Ballena Marine Preserve Islands

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing week staying here in Costa Rica! The location was ideal, making it easy to visit both Manuel Antonio and Corcovado National Parks.Mark was an exceptional host, checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well and offering great recommendations for things to do in the area. We booked two excursions with his recommended guide, David, and both were incredible experiences.The Uvita farmers market was a fantastic place to stock up on fresh local produce, and Mark's restaurant recommendations were spot on, especially Citrus, which was outstanding.Two people in our group had health concerns, so having air conditioning in the bedrooms made a huge difference in our comfort. The infinity pool was another highlight and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.We would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely love to return for another visit!"
