If you are thinking of booking a stay at Villas Solar, stop thinking about it and just book it. Everything about our stay was perfect from the location (literally 5 min walk to beach and several restaurants and groceries) to our excellent host, Greggory who was a wealth of information and extremely helpful in securing things like surf lessons. The accommodations themselves were a perfect blend of comfort, style and convenience. We will definitely be back!

Cute villa with great host in a great location. Property was clean and had all the amenities needed! Very close to the beach and to all the great restaurants. Greg, the host was a great source of information for things to do in the area. Luna, the villa dog was a treat as she kept us company on our patio every day! It was a wonderful stay!

Outstanding!
This place was perfect! Greg was a fantastic host! Close to the beach (4min), Many restaurants close by, grocery store... We were on a 2 months trip to Costa Rica and this place is by far the best of the best! The dog Luna became a good friend of us! Thank you so much Greg for everything. We already miss you!

great home!
Beautiful, clean home that's in the center of town and 30s from the best surf in the area. Greg was an excellent communicator and we found his property to be the perfect home base for our stay. He was also flexible when we were running behind schedule on our check-out. Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect
Great location minutes from the beach and minutes from the grocery store, restaurants, etc. All of Greg's villas are within a gated area so you can step off the busy, crowded, dusty street and have privacy. Greg was very helpful to get us set up with a fishing charter and surfboard lessons through his inside, local connections. We loved staying here and will definitely come back.
