2 week stay in Ojochal
My wife and I, alongside our travel companions ( 3 kids and 4 adults) stayed in this wonderful villa for two weeks. From the outset, the communication with Amber the owner was excellent. We had a change of plans prior to our travel dates, as one of the couples decided to bring their two children along and Amber was very helpful in helping us accommodate them as well.
The house was laid out very well with all the necessary items and the house was clean and welcoming. The outdoor area, (pool/rancho) by far the best part of the house, was large enough to facilitate a large gathering and provided more than enough room for the adults and the kids to coexist outdoors.
We had visits from toucans as well as scarlett macaws, a few cattle at the fence line of a nearby farm and the sounds of howler monkeys replacing the need for alarm clocks in the morning.
My wife and I stayed in the onsite cabina, at the back of the property. It is a simple studio with a kitchenette and bathroom but very suitable for a couple wanting some privacy away from the main home.
The local manager Kenny was always available to answer any questions and was a pleasure to deal with.
The house was walking distance to the bakery ( La Panaderia Frances) as well as Los Gatos Locos ( nice bar/restaraunt with an extensive menu and live music). The grocery store ( Super Juculoa) was only about a 5 minute drive form the rental.
Overall, this house was perfect for our large group and offered everything we were looking for. Highly recommend it to those with a larger group, looking for a luxurious outdoor space and a clean, well stocked home capable of pleasing the masses. it is a wonderful home base from which to travel up and down the pacific coast to a variety of wonderful beaches and beach towns.
It was a wonderful reprieve from the concrete jungle, to the real jungle on the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Enjoyed thoroughly by all!
Gracias a Amber and Kenny. Hasta pronto.
Pura Vida, Gord and Rebecca.
