Malpais vacation rentals

My family has rented vacation homes for over 20 years and the Villa Casa Blanca experience was the best we have ever had. The house and grounds are very well maintained. The design of the house is architecturally stunning. All four bedrooms were very beautiful. The negative edge 22m lap pool was exactly as pictured and in great shape. We used it extensively both for laps and general hangout fun. The kitchen, cooking equipment and exceptional outdoor kitchen with a large Big Green Egg smoker and high end Napolean gas grill were fantastic and although we had planned to eat out most evenings we ended up cooking at the villa 3 nights. The pre-trip information provided by Michael was abundant and clear. As the villa access could be quite daunting upon first arrival, Michael made sure that we were met in Santa Teresa and escorted to the house. As we arrived after dark that this was a particularly welcome service. A 4x4 vehicle was a must. Throughout our stay Michael continued to be most helpful with regards to activity bookings, recommending and connecting us with a private boat tour operator, a private chef for a catered dinner on Xmas day, and surfing lessons. We had a problem with one of the A/C units and Michael ensured that it was promptly taken care of. The couple taking care of the house and providing housekeeping services were excellent. Thank you Maria and Eduardo for all your help. I only wish we were better able to communicate in Spanish. Vai Toronto, On

This place is incredible! A retreat from the busy city while still being within a 10 minute drive to Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. We often would sit and watch the monkeys and birds and just relax. The hosts provided ample suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We certainly plan to come back again. Thanks for having us!

To begin, the property manager Soraya was just awesome to work with. Extremely accommodating. We also developed a lovely rapport with the grounds and house keeper. Very kind people. The location offers views second to none. Abundant opportunity to enjoy regional wildlife on the doorstep. We saw monkeys, toucans, iguanas, some weird little pig/rodent type animal, plenty of gorgeous butterflies, and an array of other birds as well. The sunsets are extraordinary, easily the highlight at the property!!!! If you are arriving by your own (rented) vehicle, there is NO OPTION but to have a 4x4. An “all-wheel” drive won’t cut it. We also rented quads and a side-by-side which was a HUGE advantage for going to Montezuma and into Santa Teresa. The property has a very well equipped kitchen, which was a plus for our family as we love to cook. If you are looking for test and relaxation….look no further!!!

We stayed 4 nights in Nicoya Villas #3 with our family (including two young kids) and loved the property. It is a brand new small complex of 4 villas. The two bedroom villa we stayed in was spacious and clean with comfortable beds, a large living room and kitchen and good AC to escape the heat. There is beautiful shared common space of a refreshing pool and large covered deck. A delicious breakfast is provided each morning. A BBQ is available for the complex as well. There is a small grocery store less than a 2 min walk away. The staff went above and beyond and were very warm and welcoming! Would definitely recommend to family and friends and would stay again!
