There was plenty of room for the six ladies that came to celebrate my birthday with me. Having Esteban cook breakfast and dinner was just the icing on the cake. The monkeys didn't come out until our last full day at the house, but the geckos made a daily appearance.

The house was pretty hot because there wasn’t a lot of breeze and it isn’t on the ocean side. But bedrooms were well air conditioned which was nice! ##### sarah t.

The house is just as beautiful as the photos! But what makes it even more beautiful is the area around the house- it is like a tropical forest! We stayed a week and each day we saw squirrel monkeys (up close!!!!), toucans and scarlet macaws among other wildlife sightings. The kids were in the pool by 7:00 each morning, what a treat! Each person associated with the villa (Gary, David, the housekeepers and the VRBO staff) were incredible! Super easy to work with and they were very committed to making our stay as perfect as possible. I hope we can go back. ##### Robin K. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Just J. Jul 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful House The House is indeed beautiful, but unfortunately, the main living area lacks AC, making it uncomfortably warm during the day. On the bright side, the bedrooms have AC units and are cool and comfortable. The home's location 10-15 walk to a store and is convenient during the day, but walking at night might be a bit far and unsafe due to dark roads and wild life. The decor is lovely, and the staff are responsive and friendly. However, there's a concern about cooling off the upstairs when closing the glass doors due to an influx of bugs and Geckos each evening, making it a bit challenging. ##### Just J. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zac N. Aug 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful Property with everything you need We just returned from what is probably the best vacation of our lives. From the perspective of the property, it is probably best summed up by the ooh's and ahh's of our kids as they entered and explored for the first time. The house is enormous, well maintained and cleaned and tastefully decorated. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is huge. The maid comes each day and did a terrific job keeping it clean. David, our concierge was easy to reach and helpful. Many of the rooms have balcony's and the view of the rainforest is fantastic. It is somewhere around a mile outside of town down a local residential neighborhood, so while walkable for some, usually you'll want to arrange a car to go into town. This offers some tremendous privacy but has to be what you want. We scheduled all of our transportation and activities through David and each one was perfect for our family. We did have the power go out late one night due to a local outage, but that was corrected by the next morning. The house had emergency lights and it wasn't really a problem. We hired a chef several nights which for our group of 9, made it a truly great family bonding experience with some wonderful food and the cost was similar to a meal in town but with better food.. What a terrific vacation....wish I was back. ##### Zac N. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### lianne p. Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Paradise Vacation My family of 5 ( ages twin 13 year olds and 23 year old) had an amazing time staying at this beautiful house. The house does have a lot of levels and stairs, I would not recommend this home for a family with young children. For our family it was nice to have some separation at the end of the day to unwind. The house needs a bit of TLC but overall very nice. We loved sitting on the many terraces enjoying the amazing views and wildlife life that would visit. We saw monkeys, raccoons, and our favorite was a parrot that joined us during breakfast and just sat on the terrace. It was a special moment. You can walk down the dirt road to a market and a restaurant other than that you will need a car or taxi to get everywhere. We did not rent a car and glad we didn’t as getting around was a little tricky. Getting a taxi was pretty simple. Carlos helped with all our needs while on site and was very responsive. The house keeper Sarah was very sweet and accommodating. We hired the chef for two nights which was delicious. One thing to note is you do not have personal access to laundry, the room is locked. Sarah does do laundry for you which is very nice but there were times I wanted to wash a few things at night and couldn’t. The area is remote but close to all activities. We did the full day waterfall tour, catamaran, zip lining, hot springs, national park and beech concierge. All included transportation and a great experience. Our family favorite was the full day waterfall tour. ##### lianne p. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christa M. Mar 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Book this place! The villa is absolutely gorgeous. We were 5 adults/3 kids & had plenty of space. The large balconies have stunning forest/mountain views.The beds are comfortable & each room had its own ensuite. A/c in the bedrooms and games rm was much appreciated. The pool is small but perfect for cooling off. David was fantastic arranging activities/rides. We arranged almost everything ahead of time but he was very responsive to short notice requests. Arranging activities through the concierge seems cost effective but beware that it's paid for in cash. At times it was a challenge to find USD at ATMs (everything quoted in USD) so it's helpful to have it on hand when you arrive. We did a trip to Manuel Antonio Park, beach day (definitely worth paying for chairs/shade), as well as a catamaran & snorkel w/ Sunset Sails which was a ton of fun. We had visitors including white-faced & squirrel monkeys. Two beautiful scarlet macaws landed on our railing & chatted away! The villa feels secluded but is not. There’s a small market (had everything we needed) just a 5-min walk away. There’s a restaurant next to the market that we didn’t visit. The beaches & Manuel Antonio park is just a short drive. The concierge arranged rides. We hired 2 chefs for 3 nights.Be mindful when choosing your menu that items such as beef are pricey in Costa Rica. The grocery bills were $100, 140, and 250. They cooked more than enough food and we enjoyed leftovers for days. An unforgettable family trip! ##### Christa M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marjorie S.

Nice pool. Saw sloth, squirrel monkeys, Mccaws from house. Beware there are lots of steps that are not good for little kids. Hired private chef for breakfast and supper….well worth it to not have to go out each night. Concierge and host were wonderful to help us book excursions ( and our host David went and retrieved phone we left on sail boat). Main living areas get pretty warm (bedrooms air conditioned) but that seems to be the norm for house rentals. Highly recommend. ##### Marjorie S.

The bedrooms are scattered and on different levels, which makes for quiet and privacy. It has great gathering spots in the open kitchen/dining area, the pool room and the living room/covered porch. It has a nice and well maintained pool. Parking is tight, and the road in is a bit of a challenge, particularly if your first time is at night. Super Joseth is close by, less than five minutes and there is a new restaurant/bar at the top of the hill behind the house that has amazing 360 degree views of the ocean and jungle. Overall, the house was a great for for our group of 11 and Escape Villas provided good support. ##### R P. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Subi P.

The house was bigger than we thought and had more than enough space for the 9 of us. The pictures do not do it justice. The views are beautiful. Check in/out was easy. The pool was a great bonus for the kids after morning activities. Thank you! ##### Subi P. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia R.

We saw monkeys on the balcony a couple of times. Hiring the chef is super convenient. Definitely recommend booking excursions. Overall a great time! ##### Alicia R.

A bit of walk to get to the main road and the beach. We ended up taking taxis or booking shuttles with David (property concierge) who is wonderful! I hope I spell our wonderful maids name correctly, Sayra, she did a fabulous job. Managing 4 bedrooms, all our laundry and always with a smile! We were entertained by monkeys a few times. Some were very bold and tried to get inside! Swiped a banana off the table in the middle of the day, before my brother could get him/her out. . .then the Capuchin monkey stayed on the outside railing and actually yelled at him LOL They are adorable but sneaky. Just a heads up for some people . . . the house has multiple stairs. Easy to navigate, nice and wide. We enjoyed the service of Chef Marco, seven great dinners. Be prepared to eat a lot! The only downside that I can think of is the ice make is broken, and we needed our ice for afternoon cocktails! But, we were able to get ice from the store at the end of the road. Plus, for us over packers not enough hangers in the closets. . . and no dressers in the bedrooms to store your items. Make sure you try the restaurant by the grocery store. . . very tasty and super nice. We all had a wonderful time and couldn't ask for a nicer place, great concierges and fabulous chef and house staff. Denise ##### Denise C.

This house is amazing, and we would definitely stay here again. The location at the end of the road gave the house a very remote feeling with views out over the jungle and into the valley, and we saw plenty of wildlife (sloths, macaws, toucans, monkeys) from the balconies and pool. The location is still easily accessible and accommodated our 4 adults and 3 children well. ##### Blake H.

Peaceful and nature oriented. Great Host Gary was outstanding in receiving us. Explained everything in thorough. Would go back in a heartbeat. ##### Anthony G. Stayed 13 nights in Feb 2021
