Beachfront House with Pool and Jacuzzi - Quiet Vacation

Staying at Villa Oceanis was a unique experience for my family and I, beyond our expectations ! We went to Costa Rica to spend time all together, my parents and I living in different part of the world. Meeting in that singular place will be truly unforgettable.

Luxurious nature is everywhere and we had the chance to see monkeys, hummingbirds, iguanas, crabs etc ... just on our door step.

The Ocean view is amazingly breathtaking and overall, we were so glad to take advantage of it directly from the swimming-pool !

At the villa, we felt like in a charming cocoon, perfect for us 4, with all the amenities we needed, very clean and well-maintained.

What surprised us the most was the presence of an onsite manager, that was very kind to us and helpful to advise us on various activities. For a rental of this price range, we didn't expect that service at all and thanks to this lovely person, we felt we truly accessed to 'Real Costa Rica', enjoying nature paddle surfing, zip lining and visiting national parks but also assisting to singular events like a tope guanacasteco (rodeo) or turtle liberation. Our stay at Villa Oceanis was an everyday discovery, educationally and emotionally strong, that's why it was sincerely one of our best vacations ever.

Outstanding time at the spectacular and special Villa Oceanis! We couldn't have asked for more. From the breathtaking ocean views, to the interior finishes of the Villa, the daily impeccable housekeeping, the beautifully maintained grounds and, most of all our wonderful concierge Patty. She made us feel right at home and was the most gracious hostess we could ever hope for. By the time we left we had fondly nicknamed her St. Patty! I highly recommend Villa Oceanis. It will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

We've just finished our third stay at Villa Oceanis in the last year, and there's a reason we're continually drawn back to this gem in Guanacaste.

A perfect size for two couples or a family of 4 or 5, the home has a well equipped kitchen, two beautiful bathrooms, a great picnic table on the deck, adirondack chairs and lounges. But in all likelihood you'll spend you time in the pool enjoying the spectacular views and sunsets. It's a beautiful pool suitable for kids and adults and is always well maintained.

The home also has all of the other amenities you could use including stable and fast WIFI, A/C in the bedrooms with great patio doors at each end for breezes, a tv with Sky satellite (about 10 english channels), a gated driveway, washer and dryer (though you're provided with more than enough towels and plenty of handy drying racks for bathings suits). They've also thoughtfully included some paperbacks, bug spray, a lantern (there are not streetlights in the area), binoculars, maps and books about Costa Rica, and the list goes on.

The home is on a beautiful beach for walking and surfing, but if you are looking to swim there are options a few minutes away by car. The area has a few great restaurants around including the one at Hotel Igauanzul (you can walk here), Amigo's, Latinos, Lola's Deeveena and others which are few minutes away by car.

We've also felt incredibly safe in in the area and everyone we've met has been incredibly friendly.

Over the last year this vacation rental has only gotten better! Two trees have been cleared out so the view is less obstructed, the indoor and outdoor couches have been replaced/recovered and look great and are comfy, a new privacy wall on the deck which gives it more space, and the yard has some new landscaping which also improves the view.

Also new on this trip are Patty and Nicholas the new concierges who live nearby and are incredibly helpful and friendly. They emailed us ahead of our arrival to help with any preparations and had a wonderful set of activities/suggestions/options available (make sure to get a few platters of food from La Ventanas, do the beach sunset dinner, eat Desert at Deeveenas, and release baby turtles if it's happening during your stay).

Thank you to Valerie and Patrick (the owners), you're easy to deal with and I hope we meet on a future visit. It was another magical stay and I am already planning a return trip, it truly is paradise.

We just spent an unforgettable vacation with family and friends at Villa Diosa Del Mar and Oceania. From the moment we arrived Patty, the villa concierge, greeted us with open arms and a beautiful smile. She opened the front door to show us an ocean view we will not forget. Beautifully maintained tropically lush grounds and gardened pathways joining the different dwellings, hammocks and seating amongst palm trees to capture ocean views and sunsets, beach path to wading pools full of life at low tide, and snorkeling beach steps away with tropical fish. Expansive green yard space for sunset yoga(thank you, Patty for organizing, Dianna and Rosalia for teaching us), football or soccer games, or just lounging. The pools were refreshing and clean(thank you, William), the house and rooms always tidied(thank you, Yorleni & Odixi), with clean pool and beach towels always.

Patty is located right next door, and likely needed a holiday after her attentiveness to our every need and request. Patty organized groceries upon our arrival, a cook, sunset yogas, outstanding golf at Hacienda Pinilla, zip line and horseback riding at Pura Aventura, surfing with Nicholas at Longosta Beach, Tamarindo, a wonderful dining experience at Villa Deveena, and many other things. We also ventured out for meals on our own at restaurants---Amigos, Cafe Playa Negra, and especially Villa Deveena are musts. Renting cars is essential, a GPS is a good idea too.

Every area within the villas has beautiful artwork and lighting, unique furnishings, woodwork and architectural details throughout. The attention to detail is endless. Wildlife and nature abounds---palm trees, orchids, flowers, iguanas on the roof, birds, monkeys traversing overhead, butterflies and other interesting insects(it is a rainforest!).

Valerie and Patrick, you have an amazing property and have found priceless staff in Patty, Yorleni, Odix and William. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Villa Diosa del Mar and Oceania with us. We hope to return one day, Pura Vida.
