"My group was planning a day in Sensoria which is only a 15 minute drive away. This place was off the beaten path and exactly the authentic Costa Rica I was looking for. Gerardo and Zelmina are wonderful people. I was practicing Spanish and they were excited to help me along and let me try. Zelmina can COOK! She would tell us all about every ingredient in her meals, where they grew, and how they made the food better. I would have slept outside in a mudpuddle if I got to eat her cooking. I loved...

"Absolutely beautiful home.Loved the sizes of the bedrooms, common areas were perfect and the pool was the best. Would stay again in a minute. "

"Location to Playa Hermosa was great! The view was absolutely breathtaking! Rooms were great size, the property is well taken care of and the pool is just as beautiful as it in pics. The road leading to the property is a little steep, but not bad. Nice gated community. Home next door being built, but construction noise wasn’t an issue."

"We had a fantastic stay at Chateau Mar Vista! This beautiful house was perfect for my large family, including our in-laws and kids. Between the main house and the guesthouse, there was more than enough space for everyone to feel comfortable. The bedrooms were huge with high ceilings and stunning ocean views. The pool deck was absolutely amazing, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the incredible views, especially at sunset—truly breathtaking! The kitchen was fully equipped and made...

"We had a fabulous experience. The home is quite spacious for families of all ages! The location is wonderful. BUT, there are roosters that sound off during most of the night. Put pink noise on during the night and that helps. Marisol is a gem. She is so incredibly personable and we loved getting to know her. Her daily help and kindness was over the top! "

"The view from this house is absolutely breathtaking. The drive to the house might give some anxiety. Our initial drive to the house was a bit nerve wrecking. However it did seem easier each time. Definitely make sure you have 4 wheel drive. We had 2 all wheel drive vehicles that had a bit of a hard time getting up the steep drive and then backing into the car port. The house fit 8 people very well. The bedrooms are very nice sizes and the air conditioners in each room upstairs worked great. My...

"We really enjoyed our stay in Villa Ocotal; Great location, close to great restaurants and activities. Really enjoyed La Leona hike; the Blown Away Catamaran and Diamante Eco Adventure Park. "

"This property was amazing. It was easy to find, easy to stay and easy to communicate with the owner."

"So, we rented this 5-bedroom house as well as the 4-bedroom house down the hill for a family reunion of 17 people. Yes, that is a whole lot of people to coordinate! This home housed 10 adults and we all had plenty of room and privacy. This house is perfectly configured - every couple had their own bathroom, the common area was spacious and comfortable, and the views were absolutely amazing!! The infinity pool, spa, and outdoor, upper-level bar were a hit - providing lots of different places...

"A beautiful, clean and big house with a stunning view. We were 7 people, ranging from 9 to 82 years old and we all loved it. The pool was great to cool down after swimming at playa hermosa. Everything is very close, shopping, beach and restaurants. Great location. The house is very clean and it has everything you need. Coffee machine, air fryer, pots and pans. We loved it!!!"

"We very much enjoyed our stay here! The location is close enough to the city to easily walk and it was kept very clean. We even showed up 2 hours early and they let us go in and hang out in the AC while it was still being cleaned. The shower didn't really ever get hot but it was warm enough to shower in. The only suggestion we have is to have some porch furniture put out to be able to enjoy coffee outside in the morning. "

"We had a wonderful stay over the holidays! The home and its surroundings are truly beautiful. The owner provided clear and incredibly helpful information about the property, local area, and activities, making our experience even better. I highly recommend this property!"
