"We enjoyed our stay….very lovely place and environment! Directions to the property by photo were very useful."

"We had a very relaxing stay. Good communication with the host/property manager. Wildlife all around…monkeys, toucans and scarlet macaws. Couple power outages, but didn’t spoil our fun. House had a battery backup which was great. Pool was AWESOME! House was well equipped. Location was perfect…loved the local restaurant suggestions. Overall it was WONDERFUL!"

"We loved our stay at Villa Lucia! It was in a great, safe location and close to waterfalls, shopping, and the whales tail. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the hummingbirds, toucans, and butterflies. The sunsets were amazing too! I recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get up the road easily."

"Great service by truly dedicated friendly staff. Amazing coastal views."

"Lovely friendly staff with excellent restaurant on site"

"The staff is so wonderful. Kind, funny and helpful. Views are unbelievable and it is worth the trip up there!"

"Their romantic unit was wonderful. Beautiful tropical very private setting. A communal pool that we had all to ourselves. Its an outdoor kitchen that worked but could use a bit of an upgrade. Big fridge but only a 2 burner countertop gas hotplate. No oven or microwave. Good closet space and beautiful shower. Groceries and a very good soda was beside it. Some high end restuarants near by. Could walk but the road is very narrow and its very dark. Osa golf golf course 20 minutes away. Uvita 20 minutes away. Good road into it. I highly recommend this place ."

"Una buena opción en Ojochal"

"We absolutely loved the eight days we spent at this incredible house. Our hosts were very welcoming and met us when we arrived. I had a few questions while we were there and got responses almost instantly.The house was spotless. There wasn't anything that we needed that they didn't have. The pool was fantastic. There wasn't a single day that we didn't swim or chill in the pool. We enjoyed seeing the toucans and other local birds that came around every morning and evening. We even had a coati come visit a couple of the days. One evening we could see howler monkeys in a tree down below the house. Not only was the house great, but the entire area was wonderful. The people were friendly and welcoming. If you're an animal lover, I suggest a tour of Hacienda Baru, which is about 20 minutes away. We used Freddy Cascante. It was our favorite activity for the two weeks we spent in Costa Rica.We wouldn't hesitate to come back to this beautiful property. It's easy to feel the pura vida spirit here."
