Spectacular Ocean View House - 5 min drive to Famous Carrillo Beach

Hi Pat Not really sure by what you mean the House needs a little maintenance work. ?? Seems very nice to me and others. Can’t please everyone. John

Thanks Kurt & Lisa, It was great having you there. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Cheers, John

Hey Dave, That's awesome you had a great stay at my house. And I try to make it a special place for myself, my family and all my guests to enjoy and create the best possible memories they can. Quality time with family is so memorable and having the right place to do it is important. Hope to see you again and until next time.....keep up that pura vida life. John

Hi Tamie, Great to hear you and your family had a wonderful time. And you're right, the view is breathtaking. See you next time. Cheers, John

Hi Stefanie, I tell everyone it's a special place but you almost have to be there to see and more importantly feel it. So glad you had the time to stay there and create some marvelous family memories. And hope to have you again. Thanks John

Thanks Michelle for your review. And you were the first guest for the high season since during the rainy season there are very few short term guests. And as I mentioned before my apologies for the water heater and the gas, but the water heater was a quick fix and we changed out the gas tank in 20 minutes, so that was good and this side of Costa Rica had extremely fierce winds for several days and I had the pool company come twice right before you arrived to clean the pool but within hours, more debris, and Leaves made their way into the pool. I even offered to clean the pool again while Michelle was there but she said it wouldn’t be worth it since the wind was so strong it would’ve just blown more debris in there. And I’ll remind the Cleaning lady to wash the dishes and pots and pans after they have been sitting. Again we had such strong winds so the caretaker was focusing on the yard and the cleaning lady was trying to get some of the dust and the floors cleaned. She probably forgot about refreshing the dishes, but they were washed before. But other than those few items which were easily corrected by Antonio, my caretaker, the house was in good shape. Just very difficult to keep the entire property clean with such tremendous wins.

HI Paul, I am pleased you and your family and friends had a wonderful stay. I look forward to hosting you again. Until next time... Cheers, John

HI Sergio, Really glad to hear you and the family had an awesome 2 week stay at Casa Bella Vista. There's nothing like having an entire property to yourself, your own pool, lounge area, plenty of privacy to walk around the property and enjoy the beautiful views and space for all your cars, etc. I love it there! I'm sure I'll see you again. Until next time... pura vida John

Hi Debbie, I'm really glad you and your friends had a great time and enjoyed the house. My apologies on the cleaning. I was there just 2 weeks before you and the house was totally clean and no issues. The cleaning lady came 2 days before your arrival because you asked to check in 5 hrs earlier than normal check in and I was fine with that. Anyhow, I will have a conversation with them. Also, the hill up to the house is a little steep but that's was gives us the beautiful and awesome view. You are kind of on top of the mountain. But I disagree 100% about the 4x4. I have never had to use one and all the cars I have rented have been 2x4 with no issues. I even had a taxi pick me up and that was a small, old sedan that was low to the ground. And my wife and 2 kids drive the hill as well. I just drive 25mph up the hill and in 4-5 minutes I'm at the house. The roads in Costa Rica aren't always great but they are drivable. Thanks. John

Hi Poul Thank you for your stay. But I wish you would’ve told me about the water issue. You did mention it when you were leaving that you were going to wash the dishes, but there was no water. It turned out the water pump motor just needed to be reset. We had that done and everything is fine. Hope to see you again soon. Thank you John
