VILLA MARGARETTA...Close your eyes, take a deep breath, listen to the sound of waves, pull up a beach chair a hammock and relax. Welcome to Paradise.
This fantastic home features one of the greatest pools on the island. The swim up bar and entertainment area surrounding the pool is yours and yours alone while you are here, no sharing necessary. We have a wonderful front porch that overlooks the ocean with 2 rocking chairs to wile your day away or in the evening to watch the most amazing sunsets. The home is located on the beautiful and tranquil island of Palo Seco, in the Central Pacific area of Costa Rica. We are half way between the tourist towns of Jaco and Manuel Antonio. And about a 2 1/2 hour drive from the Airport in San Jose. The house is close to the town of Parrita where you will find all your shopping needs, an amazing number of restaurants, and people who are pleasant and accommodating.
The region has numerous things to do from fishing in the estero behind the house, to casting into the ocean in your own front yard, to hiring a boat and going deep sea fishing. If you are lucky you may even get to see a Green Rigley turtle come up to nest. Not far from the house is Damas Island, where you can take a boat tour thru the mangroves and watch the monkeys frolicking in the trees,They will come to eat from your hand. If you are a birder it is paradise here. We are just a few miles from the national park at Manuel Antonio, renowned for its wildlife and warm calm beaches. You can zip thru the trees on a canopy tour, visit Rainmaker where you can walk thru the rain forest. In Quepos you can drop a few coins in the slot machines or eat a fantastic meal. All these thing are within a few miles of the house.
Upon your arrival, we will meet with you and fill you in on all the great places you can visit and eat. We live only 30 minutes away and will see that everything goes well for your stay. We came here 4 years ago and fell in love with the area and the beach, as I know you will when you are here.
Thanks for checking out our site. If you have any questions,please EMAIL us.
Your hosts, Don and Chris

This was our first vacation to Costa Rica and will definitely come back. Once we got use to no street signs or addresses it was great. We loved the house and the area where the house is located, peaceful and very relaxing. The house was as Christine described and thank you for returning my deposit so quickly. Thanks to the wonderful neighbor Richard- we were able to do adventures and experience restaurants we may not have found ourselves.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

We had a wonderful stay for 2 weeks at Villa Margurita with our two teenage daughters. The sandy beach was beautiful and the ocean was very warm. The sunsets were amazing. We felt very much at home in the rental house as it had all the amenities of home, and the best part was the pool. Started our mornings at the beach and ended the afternoons at the pool. Chris who owns the house was wonderful to assist us in anything. She arranged for my husband and daughter to go fishing with a close neighbour and also arranged for us to go on a Mangroves tour which was amazing with the monkeys. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and this house is located in a central location which made most travel trips fairly close. Even drove down to Panama for cheap duty free shopping, which was a bit longer of a drive, but well worth it as we got to see even more of this beautiful country. We also enjoyed sitting in restaurants in Parritta, and watching the daily activities of the people. Parritta was a neat little town. I would definately return as we have done plenty of all inclusives, and this was more like our own peaceful paradise.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

I have stayed at this property twice with my family, each time for a truly blissful week. The location is ideal as you can simply wander out of the door and straight onto the beautiful, deserted beach. Or you can have lunch out on the veranda watching and listening to the waves. Having your own pool is fantastic and you can lose a week easily just soaking, sunbathing on the poolside, strolling in the garden, beachcombing or body-boarding. We didn't notice any bars or restaurants in the surrounding area but (with two young children) the peace and quiet suited our needs perfectly. There are nice day trips that can be done, indeed Manuel Antonio National Park is an easy drive, and there was lots of information in the house about other things to do. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, and was very informative. All-in-all I highly recommend this place: I think it represents great value for money, and I hope to return sometime soon!Recommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Kate and Family, I am so very glad that you and your family enjoyed your vacation here at Villa Margarita. It makes my heart happy to receive wonderful comments like yours. Please do try to come back again. The beach is empty without you. Regards...Christina

A truly wonderful experience twice. First tour in 2009. 300# blue marlin and 100# sailfish. 2010 went fishing in estero with some locals at the end of the island. Nothing real large but plenty of keepers. The villa is a great place to kick back and relax. The swimming pool and the property is very well maintained and a very relaxing place to lounge around. Monkeys at the entrance to the island everyday. Truly a beautiful place to see and experience. Chris is very easy to deal with and a wealth of knowledge. Do give this one a serious consideration if you are planning a trip to Costa Rica. The new highway from San Jose airport makes it a quick ride to the Villa. Breathtaking scenery along the way is unsurpassed. Terry, Jay, Pam and EricRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
