We had a wonderful stay! Laurie was absolutely amazing, so responsive and offered great recommendations for food and activities. The property was beautiful and everyone we encountered was so friendly. Our kids loved the pool and had it to themselves. The beach was a little further away than we expected but still convenient. Would definitely stay again!

Jennifer, Thank you for choosing our villa as your home base during your vacation. Your family and stay were easy breezy and that's my favorite! I appreciate your kind acknowledgement, it's important to me that guests have a great vacation all the way around, not just the lodging. You have my contact, keep in touch and next time we'll leave all the boys at home!

Great place, great location. Laurie was extremely helpful with the many questions we have as first time travelers to Costa Rica. The kids love the fruit trees. Foraging every morning for fresh mangos for breakfast.

The property is very well taken care of and everything seems very new and clean. The parking is close and we liked that. We saved a lot of money because we didn’t have to rent a kayak and snorkeling gear and life jackets. Lauri had all that stuff there for us to use. Lots of birds in the trees. The pool was nice and refreshing and all the plants and flowers around are so pretty. The beach is close enough to walk and not be tired. She helped us get a good price on a rental car and helped us with tours and activities

Laurie contacted us well before our arrival and gave us detailed instructions on how to access the property. She went out of hrer way to provide us with a bbq and a kettle. Both were much appreciated. The villa met all our needs. We particularly enjoyed the hanging chairs on the patio and the pool which was usually empty.

This sweet villa was perfect for our family of 4! The fully stocked kitchen was a great feature so we could make our own food, which was great for the kids. There are numerous 5-star beaches within a walk or 5-30 minute drive. The mango, avocado, and star fruit trees right outside the door felt really magical! The bird watching right at the villagio was the best we found our whole trip. So fun to drink coffee, eat mangos and watch the birds come in and out of the trees. The pool was so wonderful and hardly used by others in the villagio. Laurie was incredibly helpful and responsive with questions and ideas for restaurants, beaches, and tips on navigating the area. Very supportive, kind and thoughtful!We would repeat this trip in a heartbeat!

The Dixon family were wonderful guests and we look forward to hopefully welcoming them back. They showed a true love and appreciation for our villa and the area. I loved getting little updates of cool things they did and saw, it’s especially validating for new hosts. They took great care of the villa and helped keep all the mangos from going to waste 🤭.

We stayed here two times in 2 weeks because there was a promo code on two different rental sites. The owner allowed us to redeem the offers for each site for two shorter visits and got a better price. The beach is half a mile, maybe a 10min walk straight down the street to be on the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here and will come back again next time I’m in Costa Rica. They have a lot of amenities that you don’t have to pay extra for like scooters, snorkeling stuff, life vests, kayak, bodyboards, ice chest, board/card games, outdoor games, beach umbrella/chairs. The pool is 30 seconds walk. The community is totally gated and only has about 20 units. We saw very few neighbors and the pool was always relaxing and empty like it was a private pool. There were many huge trees and so many beautiful birds. We could eat the fruit on the trees. There was mangos, avocados, lemons and starfruit. The unit has a little parking lot right next to it and only you and two other people are allowed to park in so you never have to worry about parking or walking far to get to your car. She answered all our questions quickly and helped us so much with suggestions and advice.

This was the perfect start to our vacation. Everything here was better than expected. The pool is big and never crowded and there are lots of birds singing all over the property. We ate tons of fruit from the trees. The beach is really close and several restaurants. Laurie helped us so much, she helped plan everything and helped with other areas we’re visiting around the country. We loved it here so much that we added we booked additional time here at the end of our vacation.
