Villa Malibu was perfect!!!! The pool was so nice, the view from the room was stunning. My husband and I loved the location because we did not want the hassle of renting a car which was no problem as we were close to several restaurants and markets and took walks to other beaches around the rocky points at low tide. The condo was immaculate and had all the supplies we needed for making meals and cocktails. The air conditioned room was a luxury in the afternoon when we wanted to take a break from the sun for a little while. We had plenty of clean towels included big, fluffy beach towels....which is not always the case with some rentals. The groundskeeper and her family were so nice and so respectful of our alone time at the pool, etc. Swimming in the ocean in front of the condo was very good....water was calm on most days and the beach was clean and often secluded. The management company was very nice upon our arrival. My family had contacted them from home to give me a message upon check-in that my father was very ill. They made me feel much better and calmer with expressions of concern and offer to use the phone in the office to call home when needed. My husband and I hope we are lucky enough to stay at Villa Malibu again. It was a very relaxing and romantic destination.

This was our very first visit to costa rica and also using vrbo and much to my surprise, the experience could not have been better. The owner, the housekeeper and the property management company excellent. The suites were clean, the beds comfy, the property and pool well maintained. Our days were blissful starting with waking up to the sounds of birds and the ocean, having our first cup of coffee while watching the pelicans, walking the large beautiful beach with hardly a soul on but local fisherman in the ocean, enjoying the lap pool with the local iguana and birds who stopped by for a drink. In the evenings the sunset, the breeze and then all those stars were remarkable. The neighboring dogs and wandering cows made it fun too. Our days were busy as there are many beaches to see with our favorites being playa la penca, playa flamingo, and playa conchal. One of the thrills is riding the local buses. You can easily get to Tamarindo-very touristy, and Brasilito which we really enjoyed. Loved seeing the locals riding their horses. One tip, if you do not get a direct bus to your location, Huacas is a connecting point. We even took a day trip to Liberia with the bus trip being almost the highlight. We surfed with Point Break Surf, Matt and Natasha, they were amazing, and we surfed playa grande. We rented a scooter and toured the area on our own including going to Santa Cruz. We went to get gelato at Flor di Pacifico in Potrero. We shopped at Super Wendy around the corner and found it to be fairly good. Grocery stores are very different here. During our visit, on Thursday afternoons a truck would come by the suites to sell melons and oranges, which tasted fabulous. Or you could catch them throughout town. Mangos are fabulous here. Because we were vacationing for nearly three weeks, we had the fortune of learning to hear the monkeys, and once you recognize them, you can find them. They are in the neighborhood. Seeing them naturally was way better than seeing them thru a tour. As you can tell, we would highly recommend Villa Malibu. It was beautiful, peaceful, restful and allowed us to be still, to truly enjoy the moment. But amazing how fast the time went. There were lots of restaurants as well but we loved our time at home in the Sol suite. We were able to acquaint ourselves with the Ticans. Pura Vida.

Zane and I have stayed at other VBRO's in Costa Rica and Hawaii, but this was our favorite. The property is clean and they even have their own caretaker/maid who takes are of everything. It was nice to come home to fresh towels! Right on a black sanded beach, we enjoyed the sunsets and morning walks! We would highly recommend to friends and co-workers!

We absolutely loved your place. It was such a nice retreat from the normal hotel stay. Your new swimming pool is incredible. No beach needed. We will be sending you some photos once we get home. Martha and Mike were awesome. The two of them do very well keeping the property clean, safe, and serviced. Even though we do not speak spanish it was fairly easy to communicate with them and they were just very nice people to have around. I would recomend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful place to relax. Can´t say enough about how incredible that pool area is, perfect. Thanks again
