We had the most wonderful week at the villa. The location is spectacular, home was large enough to accommodate our entire 13 member family for a most memorable trip. Jorge our concierge was available to us at all times and responded almost immediately if there were any issues We also availed ourselves of the chef and kudos to Jose and Jermaine for their wonderful food preparation. They truly made our week stay memorable. We arranged all activities with Jorge the concierge and he made everything so easy for us which resulted in a memorable family vacation celebrating a special birthday. Since only five stars are available I can only rate it as five stars but truly it was a 10 plus !

Fantastic property for a large group (we had 9, using all 7 bedrooms), great location, housekeeping, and the owner even dropped by with some cookies and fresh plantains from his farm. The concierge, Jorge, was especially helpful in making everything run smoothly, from outings and dining to transportation. And almost every day we got to see capuchin and squirrel monkeys playing on the balconies, along with other wildlife. Easy access to the beach, though the walk is steep enough that one of us sometimes drove the others (especially very old or young) up and down the short road.

Found paradise in Costa Rica

Wow, where to begin in describing this beautiful villa and having the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime. This villa is stunning-tastefully decorated, spacious, and luxurious. The location was perfect! Beautiful rain forest/ocean views from the balconies. Every morning we were awakened by howler monkeys calling out from nearby trees, and we saw so many beautiful tropical birds. Mark is an exceptional host and it was such a pleasure meeting him! You can tell he really cares about his villa and providing his guest with the best service possible. His staff is amazing! Jorge was invaluable in helping me plan the trip. He was on top of everything and responded really fast! It was a great pleasure meeting him as well. What an incredible man he is! The housekeeper and grounds keeper were very nice as well, always greeting us with a friendly smile, making us feel right at home. The chefs cooked the most amazing food! Every morning we looked forward to their delicious breakfasts. This villa, Mark, the staff…what an amazing experience we had! Thank you Mark, for sharing this paradise with us and giving us the best vacation of our lifetime! This villa is a true paradise!

We had my family of 13 stay here and it was very comfortable. We all loved having the monkeys visit us daily. We also saw toucans and parrots. The house was cleaned every day as was the outside pool area and we also took advantage of the laundry service. Having a chef prepare meals for us was great and I highly recommend.

A In Every Way!!

Beautiful villa with amazing views. Loved being near Manual Antonino and seeing the capuchin and howler monkeys, birds of all types, and beautiful butterflies. All sleeping rooms were spacious with in suite baths. Two of them even have their own kitchens. . Rooms are each individually climate controlled so everyone could have the coolness he/she wanted. Mark (owner) and Jorge (concierge) are gracious, accommodating and very responsive. When Richard had trouble with the stairs to the primary suite in the villa, Mark arrived the next day with a cane for him to use and told him to keep it to help get home!! (so kind) The grounds man Ras and cleaning lady Sylvia were the best. Sylvia will pick up any dirty clothes left outside your bedroom and return them clean that same day. On top of all these wonderful staff, Quentin, our chef, did an amazing and beautifully presented meal for us whenever requested. Everyone enjoyed the meals and his presentations. Pool was cozy with even a swim up bar. Twice we cooked dinner outside on the gas grill which is fully equipped and even has a small fridge and swim up bar. Mark brought us some homemade cookies that he made himself three times during out stay. A special and welcome surprise! The excursions available were plenty and varied with easy catamaran party for everyone and more strenuous and adventurous options for those who wanted that. All 8 of us, from 21 to 80, loved the villa and everyone who worked there. We were never disappointed!

Fantastic!!!

I can’t say enough about this gorgeous, spacious property ! The home is fabulous and the pool and surroundings are beautiful. We ate every breakfast and dinner outside on the pool patio. We utilized Chef Germaine for our breakfasts and dinners for a family of 10 and it was wonderful waking up to a wonderful, home cooked meal and coming home from the beach or an excursion and having a Chef cooked meal ready! We loved it! The location is perfect for wherever you want to go for the day. Our family participated in a lot of activities listed in the guide for the rental and we were very pleased with every one we did. They were all professionals and took pride in their tour. We had the masseuses come out 3 different days to give all 7 adults massages on the top balcony and we all agreed it’s the best ones we’ve ever had. Being outside, we could hear the crashing of the waves and that definitely helped with the relaxation. The game was with excercise equipment , pool table and foosball was also a perk. And having Sylvia keeping the house clean during the week spacious great too. Jorge!!! He booked all our excursions (and we had a bunch) added to them, deleted some, and answered all the many, many questions I had leading up to our vacation. I need a Jorge to keep my life in order in Kentucky!We met Mark the owner, who is a very gracious gentleman. He brought us home baked cookies one day!All in all, this was a fabulous vacation and it was perfect!!

5-Star Review for Vista OceanaOur stay at Vista Oceana was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the experience was elevated by the exceptional service from Jorge, the concierge, and the entire staff was wonderful. Jorge the concierge went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect—whether it was arranging transportation, recommending local gems, or answering our every question with a smile.The property itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking ocean views that made every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. The house is impeccably maintained, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities you could need for a luxurious getaway.One of the highlights of our trip was the daily visits from the playful monkeys that added a unique charm to the experience. It was such a joy to watch them swinging through the trees right outside the property!Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, soaking in the views, or exploring the local area, Vista Oceana is truly a slice of paradise.

Surprise 50th Costa Rica Birthday

We hunted down the perfect house Casa Vista Oceana for my husband's surprise 50th birthday trip in August 2024. Mark the fabulous owner was quick to respond to help me book. The pictures of this home are gorgeous. In person, will leave you stunned, never wanting to leave. This is your own personal gated compound on the mountain side that worked brilliantly to accommodate our group of 14 in a first-class fashion. The experience in this home was a true excursion in itself. We were immersed in the canopy of wildlife. Property manager Jorge went above and beyond from A-Z assisting me in every single detail. Jorge assisted us with our private shuttle pickup at airport and departure right on time and very easy to find our driver. I had many questions Jorge was quick to respond with options for excursions, a private chef and grocery list. We wanted to ATV, catamaran, zip line and deep-sea fish. He setup us up with the best tours, shuttle and pickup time for each excursion. He went a step further for the day of my husband's birthday, we went on Oceana King catamaran. Jorge had a peanut butter chocolate cake delivered to the catamaran and decorations for when we arrived back at the house. Chef Brenes came in three nights to make us dinner. Absolutely, blown away by the flavors. Silvia the housekeeper was impeccable everyday she was there to clean the whole house. Rodolfo was meticulous keeping the pool area and grounds beautiful. What a magical experience. Pura Vida!

“We Had the Time of Our Lives”

We loved our vacation to Costa Rica and all it had to offer. We enjoyed the people we met, tours that Jorge set up for us, the ocean near by, and the jungle right at our fingertips because of the house location. We were able to see a variety of birds and monkeys right off the decks of the house. The House itself along with Mike the owner, Jorge the concierge, Silvia, housekeeper and Norman the maintenance man all contributed to making it “ Time of Our Lives” We had 16 family members in all. The house had enough beds for all and bathrooms ( which is very hard to find). The house was cleaned Everyday and pool and outside areas also Everyday and if needed Slyvia did laundry if someone needed. We never experienced this in any home rental before!! All we had to do was have Fun! Jorge set up all tours and answered all questions almost immediately! When one of our family members fell very ill, he immediately got us a taxi, set up an appointment at local urgent care, informed them of the issue and even came by to check on him. We all loved Jorge❤️ On top of all this, the house offers the choice of a chef. When we found out prices and convenience it offered, we had 5 dinners and 3 breakfast. Didn’t have to worry about any of it, Chef Germaine took care of everything. All our meals were perfection! We asked for hamburgers and fries one night, better than American! Ate out at Ronnie’s, view and food were great! Must order the banana foster!

Best rental property we’ve ever booked

What an amazing week that we had at this beautiful home. This house is perfect in every way, and much better than the photos in person if you can imagine that. The owner and the entire staff are amazing, attentive and so great to work with. I recommend this home to anyone traveling an a group. It’s so spacious and well appointed. Jorge, the house manager and concierge, took care of every detail and booked our cars, chef dinners and excursions. Sylvia and Rodolfo made sure the home was perfect every day. Marc, the owner, brought us fruit and amazing fresh baked cookies. We had so much fun having the wildlife visits daily. We saw 3 types of monkeys, deer, sloths, mini capybaras, and macaws from the home. It was truly a magical week, and we’re so sad to leave.
