We had a wonderful stay, we had a few questions along the way and Jorge and Mindy were always quick to answer! We enjoyed the pool and cabana area after long days at the beach, and it was such a treat to have our laundry taken care of by Maria.

Bettina, I'm disappointed to see your rating. The ice maker wasn't broken, it was switched to "off", the issue with the pool chairs and issue with cleaning of one of the showers, could have been resolved quickly by our property manager within a few hours. As you can see from our dozens of reviews, we take great pride in presenting our guests with the best experience ever - with the hope that our guests will communicate with the property manager or directly with us if something isn't working right, instead of after they leave. I'm at least glad that you all enjoyed your visit to our area of Costa Rica.

My family (two teens and parents) had the most wonderful stay at Villa Buena Vista in late March. The house was even more lovely than described and pictured. It is spacious, well-appointed, and the views are stunning. We enjoyed time in the pool and walks to Playa Prieta, which was almost empty each time we visited. The landscaping and bird life around the house are beautiful, even during dry season. We heard howler monkeys every day, and there's a family of them in the trees across the street. The town within walking distance has several restaurant options, and we couldn't get enough of the gelateria! There are several beaches within a 20-min drive, but a highlight was spending the day at Lola's on Playa Avellana (as recommended by the hosts - 1 hour away). We recommend making a reservation beforehand to ensure you get umbrellas and loungers. Ernesto and Ana were wonderful house and groundskeepers - our laundry was done daily, bed linens changed a couple of times, and house swept and tidied up daily. We enjoyed the visits from the dogs, too.Overall, one of our best VRBO stays anywhere. Would highly recommend!

We loved our stay here. The home is spacious & well kept, & in a good central location to many of the places we wanted to visit along the coast. Ernesto the caretaker was on site the whole time & helped us when needed. There was one day that our water line broke, but Ernesto had it fixed within a few hours. Maria was amazing; we were told there would be someone coming to clean/pick up, but we had no idea she would come daily, clean the entire house/pool/patio, & insist on doing all our personal laundry & dishes. What a treat! We especially enjoyed the pool area & spending time on the terrace overlooking the amazing ocean views & witnessing the abundance of tropical birds. The only “drawbacks” were the non-air conditioned common living area & kitchen (the bedrooms are cooled very well), but apparently this is the standard in Costa Rican homes. Also, the beach is more than the 300 paces away as advertised, it is more like a 10-minute walk. The nearest beaches were our favorites of all the beaches we visited during our stay, & it’s a very easy walk other than the steep driveway. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay & I would highly recommend it!

Wonderful week

We had a great week at this house overlooking the ocean. A couple of minor issues that were addressed very quickly by the property manager (eg new hot water heater installed). The location is fantastic and the view is great. The onsite caretakers were wonderful, cleaning the pool, making beds, doing laundry and dishes. We really enjoyed our stay.

The view absolutely took our breath away from the moment we arrived, and the bedrooms are comfortable and cool for restful nights. With restaurants and beaches just a short walk away, the location is hard to beat. A favorite morning ritual became sitting outside listening to the birds — especially the one that sounds exactly like a car alarm. You'll know it when you hear it!The entire team made our stay special. The owners provided great information ahead of our trip, and onsite, the caretaker, housekeeper, and property manager were attentive and kind. When we got a flat tire, Ernesto and Jorge helped us change it and directed us to a nearby shop — that kind of hospitality is rare. The sweet on-site dogs were a charming bonus we loved encountering throughout the week.A few things to know:-The main living area and kitchen are not air conditioned and can get quite warm.-The driveway is a steep incline with no sidewalks — walkable, but use caution if you have physical limitations, are with young kids, or it's very hot. We drove most of the week.-The third bedroom has a separate floor and entry, great for privacy but worth noting for families with young children.Overall, a memorable stay with spectacular views and genuine hospitality. We'd absolutely return!

This house was the highlight of the trip. I would totally recommend it for a small group. Clean, big rooms, beautiful bedrooms high on a hill with ocean view and breezes in the cute little town of Potrero Guanacaste.
