Vista Oceana is located in an animal corridor close to Manuel Antonio National Park and the lush tropical jungle, frequently visited by all 3 species of monkeys, Capuchin, Mono Titi, and Howler, sloths, agoutis, flocks of toucans, McCaw’s, pelicans, parrots, and many spectacular lizards and iguanas may be seen about the villa.
Hundreds of species of birds have been spotted from balconies in this area and if you are very fortunate you may even spot a mother whale and her calf only a few hundred yards off of the beach. We are constantly adding new tropical flowers to the property and our butterfly garden.

WALK TO THE BEACH Vista Oceana is the closest luxury Villa to the MA National Park and the main beach known as Playa Espadilla. Conveniently located on a newly paved street just 80 yards from Manuel Antonio Road, the beach is just a 10-minute walk down Manuel Antonio Road, you also can wave down a taxi or catch the bus.

EASY STREET LEVEL WITH NEWLY PAVED ROAD

The owner designed the villa as 3 structures all interconnected behind privacy walls and courtyard enclosures. To further ensure that each guest had their privacy, he designed all 7 bedrooms with their own bathroom. As you enter into the enclosed courtyard you will find the Fountain en suite on your right. This is a very spacious suite with a king-size bed and a queen pullout sofa and kitchenette counter. While this suite does not afford an ocean view it does offer a very relaxing jungle view.

From the courtyard, you will also enter into the Main Villa, the main floor offers one King size en suite, along with the main living area, main kitchen, dining area, and poolside retreat. You will find the Master king en suite, and 2 king en suites on the 2nd floor, as well as a queen Murphy bed. All suites have private balconies and incredible ocean views.

Moving up to our 3rd level you will find the awe-inspiring covered terrace with casual seating, two hammocks, and the best views of Manuel Antonio Bay. Large enough for your wedding ceremonies and yoga retreats, while listening to the ocean waves, and watching the beachgoers below!

Leaving the great room, you step out to our pool area, we have a large covered patio, sun deck, double-sided infinity edge pool with swim-up bar, and a toddler area 12" deep and 6 feet square, that seems to melt into the Pacific. We also have the sunken bar and bar-b-q pit, refrigerator, and sink, both of which are under a thatched palm roof.

As you leave the pool area under the thatched overhead you enter the upper floor of our 2-story guest house, this floor contains the kitchenette, full bath, and queen bedroom with a private balcony with ocean views. The lower suite has a full bath, and queen bed with a private balcony with ocean views as well.

The entire villa is furnished with hand-crafted furniture created by Costa Rican artisans and highlighted with original Costa Rican art.

ABOUT THE CHEF, he charges labor plus the cost of food and the prices are per group: $70 labor for breakfast, $130 labor for either lunch or dinner, $170 labor for a package of breakfast and lunch or dinner, and $240 labor for all three meals… The chef does the shopping, prep, cooking, and cleanup, and all meals are served buffet style… The extra cost of food depends on what food items you select from the menu... Individual portions can be prepared separately for special diet restrictions.

The walk down to the beach is steep but not long (<15min down). It wouldn't work for those with limited mobility, but was easy for our group, and we were able to fully enjoy the proximity.

Best rental property we’ve ever booked
What an amazing week that we had at this beautiful home. This house is perfect in every way, and much better than the photos in person if you can imagine that. The owner and the entire staff are amazing, attentive and so great to work with. I recommend this home to anyone traveling an a group. It’s so spacious and well appointed. Jorge, the house manager and concierge, took care of every detail and booked our cars, chef dinners and excursions. Sylvia and Rodolfo made sure the home was perfect every day. Marc, the owner, brought us fruit and amazing fresh baked cookies. We had so much fun having the wildlife visits daily. We saw 3 types of monkeys, deer, sloths, mini capybaras, and macaws from the home. It was truly a magical week, and we’re so sad to leave.

Beautiful House
Our stay was amazing. The house was beautiful, great location. Jorge our concierge was so helpful. We had seven couples and the 7 suites were perfect for our stay. The house was very clean, Sylvia came in every morning to clean and did a wonderful job. Our full time chef prepared the best food we had while in Costa Rica. We would stay at this house every time we come to visit. We had no complaints. Everything was wonderful.

Amazing Villa retreat
This home has it all. Every amenity was thought of. Infinity pool, hammocks, lots of lounge areas- highly recommend. National park in your backyard. We were able to view all from our balconies & pool area: toucans, macaws, hawks, butterflies, Capuchin & squirrel monkeys even a sloth in front of the house. Outstanding Concierge Jorge & housekeeper Silvia. Mark, the owner, surprised us with an amazing home made dessert. Recommend booking chef Germain two nights minimum. Pictures & description don’t do it justice. Owner & concierge very easy to reach. Very secure-felt very safe and comfortable walking to separate areas in villa. MUST DO!!!

Amazing!!!!!
The whole stay was AMAZING. Jorge was always attentive to all our needs. The chefs ( Germaine) were so good we had them make most of our meals. The housekeeper was so considerate and kept everything clean. Gabriel kept the pool and outside property clean. The wildlife showing up at the Villa kept the children entertained everyday. The view was breathtaking. Can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes waking. Just a great family trip.

Manuel Antonio home
We had excellent time here. House was perfect for 10 adults and 5 kids. I would suggest to have car as Uber was not easily available and was hard to walk up the hill for seniors. However, we loved view from all sides of home. Children enjoyed monkeys at swimming pool.

Casa Vista Oceana is an exceptional property very well located to the many activities offered in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area. Both the owner, Mark, and Jorge, our stay coordinator, displayed warmth, congeniality and a customer service orientation that exceeded even our highest expectations. Additionally, the staff servicing the facility daily (pool, housekeeping) were extremely thorough, personable and reliable. Travel to Casa Vista Oceana with confidence.

We had our perfect stay at Vista Oceana! First of all the owner Mark was very easy to communicate to. And his property manager Jorge is simply superb to work with. He helped us make our trip to CR memorable. The house is just as described. Serene, beautiful with perfect view of the ocean. We were a large group of 17 people and we all stayed very comfortably.

Our Favorite Vacation
We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The house was perfect for our family. Each room has its own bathroom which was so nice. The view from every room as well as the pool is amazing. Daily visits from the monkeys added so much fun. Jorge, the concierge, was wonderful. He worked with us closely to not only provide recommended excursions but also made all the arrangements. Everything went without a hitch. Mark, the owner even came by to welcome us. We hired the chief to make dinner and breakfast for us. The food was fantastic and the presentation was right out of a magazine. This is our new favorite place and will definitely come back.

Incredible Stay at Casa Vista Oceana
5 star property, 5 star location, 5 star concierge, 5 star chef, 5 star housekeeper and groundskeeper. This place was all that's advertised and more. I honestly can't think of one thing our group could have asked for - except an additional week stay! Jorge, the concierge was incredible - helped us with all arrangements before and during our stay. Chef Germaine made delicious dinners for us multiple nights - highly recommend using him frequently. Mark, the owner, had fresh baked cookies and an assortment of fruit waiting for us on arrival, a very nice touch. We had a group of 7, two couples and three teens. Gave us more than enough room to spread out as well as nice spaces to get together for meals and pool time. Can't express enough how perfect the location is - private, quiet, safe, beautiful views, visits from monkeys, toucans, etc daily. Look no further for the best property in Manuel Antonio, this is it!

Vista Oceana is amazing!!
We were 5 couples staying in the villa and were all blown away with the beauty! The views from the infinity pool and 3 rd floor patio were spectacular and we enjoyed multiple daily visits from all 3 monkeys species. The sunsets were amazing every night- no need to go elsewhere! We had chef Jermain and Josephine cook us several breakfast and dinners and they were all beautifully presented and delicious! We could walk to Manuel Antonio beach( challenging uphill walk home) or taxi easily. Concierge Jorge was unbelievable at meeting our every request prior to arrival and during our stay! Overall, this villa exceeded all our expectations and we had a fantastic week- don’t hesitate to book!!

Family Time
Vista Oceana was perfect for our extended family group of eight adults and eight children ages five to fifteen. The lovely villa is spacious and suited to hosting a group. The setting with an ocean view and plants is beautiful. We spent hours in the pool and were able to see three types of monkeys and many birds from the patio. Slyvia, the housekeeper quietly kept our rooms clean and the pool guy maintained the pool daily in the early hours. The location is very convenient to the beach, restaurants, stores and the public bus. Jorge, the concierge, made trip planning very easy. He provided information and coordinated everything. We chose several adventures: catamaran, Campesines waterfall, zipline and a mangrove tour. Chef Germaine made four delicious dinners for us. We would all love to go back for another visit!

Family vacation of a lifetime
The booking process was a breeze. Jorge, the concierge , emailed answers to questions and gave suggestions almost immediately, arranging our transportation from /to the airport, excursions, car rentals, groceries or anything else we wanted. You don’t need to lift a finger! It was after all our vacation. The chef, Germaine, made the most delicious breakfasts and dinners you could imagine with amazing presentations. Varying food preferences for 14 people ages 6-73. The villa is beautiful, better than the pictures. Add the monkeys, gorgeous sunsets, and the Pacific Ocean nearby it was a “vacation of a lifetime.”

Perfect Stay
I would give this house 10 stars if I could. Everything about it was wonderful. The house could not be more beautiful and Jorge made everything so easy. The owner was also extremely nice and helpful. We cannot say enough good things about the chefs. Germain and Josefana made some of the best food we’ve ever had. Also do yourself a favor and book a massage. They were amazing. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. We were a group of 16 and everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of space for quiet time even with our big group. Seeing capuchins, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys and even a sloth on the property made it even more special. The house is also within easy walking distance to some great restaurants and shops and to the beach. Overall this was an amazing experience. We would come back in a second!

Beautiful place to stay and be with family
We all loved this house. It is inviting and a great place to be with family. There was room for everyone to have their own space and privacy with a little extra. The monkeys, sloths, toucans were so awesome and provided much entertainment for our group. If there is one this I was disappointed with it was the access to the beach. It required walking down a very treacherous road that was very busy and as people not used to walking down a busy road we did not do this well. In fact, my husband fell off the enbankment and broke his ankle trying to go to the beach. After that, we took public transportation to the beach and to shopping.
