Amazingly Beautiful 9BR/9BA Home with Great Ocean View!

The view, location and outside areas of the Villa can not be beat. Well maintained and had everything we needed. With a group of 13 there was more than enough room for everyone. Ricardo was great at getting us set up with transportation, tours, on sight massages you name it. The staff, Santos, Angelica, and Luis took care of anything we needed. We explored the surrounding areas and beaches and by far, Playa Flamingo was not only the prettiest beach but also less crowded. We truly felt like it was our own beach. We had a restaurant within walking distance and rented a golf cart for transportation around the town to shop. Fantastic place.

We had a family of 13. This property is spacious, has private rooms and apartments but also has common areas to relax and gather. Outdoor living area, several patio areas and the pool. Very short walk to the beach. Beautiful sunsets everyday. Small short rain showers on a few days. But we loved it. Howler monkeys arrived in the trees on the property on our last night. We watched them eating the fruit in the trees and saw them again the next morning. The grounds keeper, and cleaning lady are there during the day but give you privacy. Luis was there overnight. We included Luis for dinner every night. He mostly ate after we went to bed probably because he’s on a different schedule than us. We went to Nicaragua for a day trip. Deep sea fishing out of Playa Flamingo and water falls, mud bath, hot springs and river cruise and lunch at a local farm. We rented Golf carts and explored 4 local beaches. Everything is close by. Great local restaurants and bars. Local grocery shopping.

Nuestra estadía en familia fue perfecta. Cada uno tenía su privacidad en cada habitación y el área social (piscina, BBQ y mesa de comedor) es amplia, cómoda y fresca. El poder caminar a la playa no tiene precio!

We had a group of 13 people traveling to Costa Rica and this place worked out wonderfully for us. We had plenty of room for everyone to have their own privacy. We did rent the house and all rooms/apartments. Some of the rooms did need some attention/TLC but over all we were happy with the location as it suited our needs.

The common areas outside were fantastic. The grounds are well kept and the grounds keeper is there throughout the day to keep the pool nice and clean. The housekeeper was also there daily as well and both were very kind. The view from the property is absolutely breathtaking and we spent the majority of the time at the pool when we were at the house. The steps to go down toward the ocean are a bit dark at night and steep so keep that in mind if traveling with children or elderly.

Coco Loco was a short walk from the house and the food was fantastic. We also utilized the personal chef that Ricardo uses and all the food he prepared for us was amazing. It was really convenient to have him show up and cook for us and it was very affordable. We rented a car so that we could go to the grocery store and cook some of our own meals. The food at the store was a bit pricey and so was the beer ($10 USD for a 6 pack). I would suggest that you buy some duty free liquor on your way if you can to help cut down on the cost of cocktails.

Ricardo was hands down amazing in helping me to coordinate this trip for 13 people. He was always very responsive to me via email. He helped to book the van service to and from the airport and the personal chef. He made the entire process so easy for us and I can't thank him enough. We also used the van service to go to and from Tamarindo for some shopping and dining. It was so nice to be able to get all of us in one vehicle at the same time.

On our last day there a family of howler monkeys came to visit. it was absolutely fascinating to watch them. Overall we loved our trip and had a lot of fun. We do not speak Spanish and found that we had some breakdown in translation while there so please be prepared for that if you do not speak/understand Spanish.

Ricardo you are the best and we very much appreciate you. We can't wait to visit Cost Rica again in the future!

We stayed here at this property with 15 people and it was perfect! Everyone had their own space and privacy and we never felt cramped. We also had the neighboring condo rented with an additional 11 people and Villa Martita provided us with an exceptional place to relax and visit without feeling crowded. It was like our own mini resort

The house sits up on a bluff, so the view from the pool let us have the most amazing sunset views. There was always a small breeze coming off the ocean which was wonderful in the heat. They had a few pool toys and noodles for us to use. However, there is only a few beach towels provided.

To access the beach there is two ways to go. Some people have complained about the stairs to the beach. We did not think it was bad. From the steps, the beach is a block away. You can also take the driveway to the beach, just a longer walk if the stairs are an issue.

There is a delicious restaurant just steps from the house and a few more a mile away. A rental car is necessary if you need to go to the grocery store. Most of the tours do pick up at the Villa. Be very cautious of Major Tours. This is a man who will stop by and try to arrange tours. We had a horrible issue arise with him. Use at own risk!

We felt safe at this location. There was a grounds keeper there during the day and a night watchman if any issues arose. Housekeeper was wonderful!

I believe this property is a little older, and could use a few upgrades but these were minor details. We were very happy we stayed here!
