Great experience.

This villa is excellent. The location, the ocean view, and the entire resort is just perfect, the entire experience during our Christmas 2025 getaway was memorable. Thank you Hillary, in responding to all of our questions and needs. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous!

What a wonderful stay. The villa is stunning and the view - just wow! One morning i opened my eyes to see a whale breach. Another to howler monkeys. Another to a neon colored flock of parrots. We sat in the yard for hours just enjoying the ocean spectacular view. The villa has clearly been remodeled and furnished with love. The furniture is so comfortable and the appliances are top notch. The decor is beautiful. We had everything we needed to feel at home during our 17 day stay. Hillary was the most responsive host ever and the welcome packet and binder were well organized with everything we needed. We are so happy we chose this villa and could not have asked for more.

The Perfect Spot!

This was a perfect place for our family of 4 to spend a week in Costa Rica. The location, amenities, and views made it all worth it. The house itself is beautiful and has everything you need for a visit to this beautiful country. Hillary is extremely responsive and offered many great suggestions and advice when planning our trip as well.

Beautiful family time

Very comfortable and surprisingly spacious villa with wonderful views. The easy access to a great restaurant, pool, and private beach made this an easy and relaxing vacation. We stayed as a family of four with two young children and all were happy.

Living the Pura Vida

A wonderfully comfortable, clean, and beautiful property. The homeowners were communicative and helpful with recommendations. Absolutely enjoyed our time at this property. The resort concierge team (Cesar and Abi) are wonderful. We enjoyed several tours and arranged a private breakfast at the resort restaurant. A great bay for snorkeling with a beautiful black sand beach. We are a family of four (two teenage sons, plenty to do to keep them busy and interested).

Beautiful home, great view, great location.

This was such a beautiful and comfortable home. You can tell it is well loved with all of the special touches from the wine cellar to the outdoor shower to the beautiful patio, master suite and master bedroom porch. My kids loved the rooms they slept in because they were cozy and uniquely decorated. The outdoor space over looking the ocean was amazing. It has comfortable chairs, beautiful flowers and a great view of the ocean. It was also impeccably clean.

Perfect vacation stay in every way

The villa is magnificent! My husband and I are an elderly couple who enjoy beautiful sunsets over a water view, and this villa has the very best of both. My retirement hobby is cooking, and there are not enough words to describe the magnifient kitchen; I so enjoyed making various Costa Rican dishes. Our two daughters-in-law, who accompanied us, availed themselves of the various local excursions with the help of the resort's travel agency. The office staff were the best and saw to our every need. The villa is a very short walking distance to a small, hidden away pool, and we not only enjoyed its water and view but also the monkeys and iguana that rested in the trees. For those who enjoy dining out, the restaurant on site has excellent food and drinks. A quick side note to anyone who might need distilled water for a CPAP: after not finding it at any grocery store or pharmacy, we did luck out at the hardware store, where it is sold for use in boat batteries.

Paradise

We absolutely loved our time in Costa Rica; we as a family voted this our favorite vacation of all-time. The house is gorgeous and wants for nothing. The owners have truly thought of everything, and we felt extremely pampered during our stay. From Abbi the concierge (who is an absolute wonder!) to Sebastian at the delectable Maracuya Beach Club, all of our needs and wants were met with a smile. This house, resort, and country truly exemplify Pura Vida, we cannot wait to return!

Beautiful Home and Patio with a Great View

My friends and I stayed at Hillary’s home on a surf trip to Witches Rock. The home is beautifully decorated with a European feel. The home has been remodeled and stands out from the rest of the units. Bathrooms are fantastic, beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is excellent. The nearby beach restaurant has very good food and a cool setting. The views from the balcony/patio are amazing. This house was definitely a step above what we expected and Hillary is a great communicator. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great Costa Rica rental experience

The property description and photos are very accurate. We found the house very comfortable for our family. Very clean and spacious with lots of outdoor space. The beach club was quite crowded during the week of New Years but we still found chairs. Nice pool and beach are a very short drive down the hill. Most of our activities were about 45 min to 90 min away. I highly recommend you need a rental car. Use Waze for directions. Coco Beach downtown is about 15 min away by car with lots of restaurants and a market to stock the fridge.

Great house

Beautiful and well equipped house that lives up to the photos. It is perched high above the water with sweeping views. The walk up from the beach is quite steep and on the road, but it is a very quick drive down to the pool and beach and there is a parking lot a few steps away. There is a smaller pool that you have access to a few doors down from the house as well. The community is very well maintained and safe (there is a gatehouse to enter). The restaurant by the pool was very good and was not busy when we were there. The host and the on site management are very responsive if anything comes up. We had a great time!

Highly recommend!

This property was exactly as advertised. It was spotless, well taken care of and the host was always available if anything was needed. The house had a book of recommendations that were spot on, including the wonderful massage therapist that would make house or beach visits. The beach club had a great pool right by the ocean. There were always a few chairs available but enough people there for my teen son to find someone to hang out with. Coco was a quick 10 minute drive away for anything we needed but far enough away to feel a bit removed from the faster pace of the town. The sunsets from the house balcony are not to be missed!

Wonderful Costa Rica villa Retreat

Normal ware and tear do to house being a rental - It is a beautiful place! Only issue is that there is a fabulous main suite with incredible views off the balcony - bathroom great - problem is we had 2 couples who “shared” the Villa The 2 & 3 bedrooms ok but nothing like the main one- we solved problem by having house cleaners clean 1/2 way and changing sheets That way we all got to experience the luxury of the main bedroom

Breathtaking

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the villa! It was an absolutely beautiful property that provided the perfect foundation for a mosaic of peace, joy, family bonding and lots of laughter. The resort staff was friendly and helpful, and the villa owner maintained great communication throughout the entire booking process and stay. The grounds were beautiful (the view from the upper and lower patios!) and the location was also ideal, with delicious food (when we weren't taking advantage of the state of the art kitchen and backyard barbecue, we often found ourselves at Father Rooster), coffee (Guayoyo); and our must-do activities of scuba diving and snorkeling just a stone's throw away. I was also able to get some work done during my stay, thanks to the reliable internet connection. It was great to have the option to stay connected and work while enjoying the serene atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Villa is a Gem

This villa is unique for Bahia Pez Vela. It is truly one of a kind. We were very comfortable and immensely enjoyed our stay. The views from the villa are breathtaking and we’re lucky enough to see a whale from the villa one morning. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch each day from the upper veranda. Our host Hillary, was very gracious and helpful. Bahia Pez Vela is a really wonderful complex. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend the Soluna Restaurant in the resort. The sushi is excellent. Ocotal beach is one of our favorites and the snorkeling was excellent. One afternoon we were serenaded by howler monkeys in a tree beside the beach. Ocotal is a quick drive to Playa de Coco where there are nice restaurants and Auto Mercato for groceries is excellent. Ocotal is a wonderful area and the villa at Bahia Pez Vela feels like a Spanish oasis. We highly recommend this property and hope to go back next year.

Wonderful!

We stayed at this property for one week and although we enjoyed a few day trips and exploring the town of Coco, our favorite part was just spending time at the fabulous pool and beach. It was quiet with just a few other families around. The restaurant was incredible for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everyone was kind and helpful. The beautiful home sits atop a hill with drop dead gorgeous views of the pacific. It's private and peaceful. It's fully equipped with everything you need in a full kitchen. We watched streamed a few movies with no issues and had easy access to Wifi. It was perfect for my husband and I, and our two young daughters. The master bedroom is amazing and the girls each had their own room which were small but cozy and comfortable. To get to the pool/ocean you have to travel down a very steep road - maybe 1/3 mile? So unless you feel like walking up and down this brutally steep climb, rent a car. Which is also nice to have so you can do other local exploring. I can't say enough good stuff about these accomodations and everything the resort had to offer. We will definitely be back.
