Wonderful condo near Playa Ocotal. Amazing views and a beautiful infinity pool.

This condo is on the infinity pool level at the top of the hill, with with best views and privacy. The pool pictures are the actual views from the condo.

Renovated December 2023 with beautiful kitchen with quartzite counters, dishwasher and new cabinets. Fully equipped for cooking and eating in. Newer appliances, AC units and fans throughout, new bedroom mattresses with memory foam toppers and new bathroom fixtures.

Our condo is located 1/2 hour from the Liberia airport, between bustling Playa del Coco and quiet Ocotal Beach, both within walking distance. Coco is 1.7 miles away, Ocotal is less than 1 mile. Coco offers shopping, dining, nightlife and a large active beach. Ocotal is a beautiful small golden and black sand beach with many water sports available. Other wonderful beaches are yours to explore by car or by hiking. In the area and within a couple of hours drive are more opportunities to enjoy this dramatic landscape and ecological diversity. The province is Guanacaste with two seasons: Golden and Green. Golden brings constant sun and higher temperatures. Green bring rain with regular appearances of the sun.

Villa La Colina is a well-designed, relatively small, low-rise development (2 story max) with buildings on three tiers. Ours is on the upper tier where there are only 12 units. It is the quietest level and offers the best views across the valley to the mountain in front and wild hillside behind. And the spectacular infinity pool is just steps away, other pools in the development are for your use, too.

Our condo has large windows and vaulted ceilings creating a very open space. It is on the second floor and has a private staircase. The living room, dining room and kitchen face the pool and the mountain. The bedrooms are in the back, facing another mountainside, with trees just feet away, no buildings, roads or parking lots. The bedrooms and front door have screens, so the breezes flow through the spaces. Air conditioning is throughout, but for some the breeze and 5 ceiling fans are enough. There is a large balcony, perhaps the best place for coffee and to watch the sun light up the mountain and awaken the valley. Directly to the right of our building is a ranchero with table, chairs and fan for a change of venue or shelter from the sun.

Fully furnished and equipped, the condo is 860 square feet. It has one bedroom with a queen bed and private bath. There is another bedroom and a separate second bathroom. No more than 4 guests and no children under age 12 are permitted.

Two mountain bikes are included. Useful for quick trips to Coco for provisions or a ride on the path along Coco beach or through the barrios.

This condo is regularly visited by owners and it is well equipped and well kept and it is constantly being improved.

Awesome Quiet Reprieve
The condo was situated at the very top of a steep hill overlooking the infinity pool and hillside. Completely private with beautiful landscaping and palapa below for dining. Monkeys, beautiful birds, iguanas and other creatures were plentiful. A photographers haven! Look out the kitchen window first thing in the morning and you're likely to see monkeys in the tree tops, mamas with babies a tow. Amazing. The condo so well equipped. It was stocked with all the essentials and the extras you don't necessarily think of when travelling. It's obvious that attention to detail was a priority for the hosts, we had everything at our fingertips. Beds were comfortable with higher end linens and plenty of towels. Washer and dryer onsite but we only used the washer - dryer racks were provided for fresh Costa Rican air drying...the best. Tito, the property manager was onsite and met us upon our arrival. He remained available to us throughout our stay but we really didn't require assistance. Any questions I had for Kathy were answered immediately. We are staying in several spots in Ocotal and Coco during our month long stay, and each place has its unique differences and attractions, but so far, La Colina is our fave. One thing to note, we were so thankful to have a golf cart. I can't imagine hiking into town or to the beach and back. We are relatively fit and don't mind a good sweat, but the hills and Costa Rican sun don't mix well. Transportation for us was a must. :)

Just as described
Property was just as described. The pool was convenient and nicely maintained. The beach was a short walk, although the condo was up a hill so it was a good hike getting back up the hill. The owners and renters in the upper condo complex were very friendly. I felt a nice sense of community, which was an added bonus. The property manager was very accommodating. The owner was amazing! Very responsive to my every question and offered tips to make our trip run smoothly. I will definitely go back and would recommend to others.

Ideal secure vacation spot
I would highly recommend this property to others. The owner quickly responded to all our questions throughout the stay. The property manager and staff where also very approachable and quick to respond to any of our questions. The condo was very bright, clean and well stocked with dishes and appliances in great working order. The condo has a gorgeous view of the mountains and the infinity pool. It is convenient as it is only minutes from the main street of Coco and within minutes of 3 different beaches. We stayed there for the month of January and would highly recommend this property to others. Thank you Kathy and Tito for all your support in making our vacation a great one!!

Best experience!
We had an amazing time at Ocotal and the apartment. The beach is the best attraction and the condo is a quiet place to rest. We loved how cozy and clean it was and we found everything we needed inside the apartment. Cathy is a great hostess and the manager on the premises is very helpful as well. We look forward to coming there again in the future!

We were happy with our stay from January through March 2019.
The online photos of the condo, pool and grounds are a true representation of the property. The sheets, towels and other household linens, and dishes etc. were in new condition and all the appliances (large and small) were in good working order. We especially appreciated the good quality washer and dryer as well as the efficient and quiet air conditioners and ceiling fans. And finally, we found the beds to be comfortable which is always a big relief. The property location is quiet and provides beautiful surrounding hillside views. During our stay there was a good mix of guests staying at the property ranging from young families to retirement ages. There were no safety concerns whatsoever. We walked to Coco and Ocotal a few times and enjoyed it but for us a car rental was a better option as it gave us the freedom to explore the many surrounding beaches, towns and other areas of Costa Rica. There is a lot to see and do! We left Costa Rica with a happy feeling and agreed we would return sometime in the future and if in the area we would return to this condo.

Beautiful condo with a magical pool
We absolutely loved our stay at Kathy's condo near Ocotal. We arrived late in the evening after a very long day of travel with our two children. Tito, the condo manager, greeted us and helped us with our heavy bags and even helped us order pizza. Later during our stay, he helped us sort out some trouble we were having with our car. He was always there to answer questions and offer recommendations. The condo itself was very comfortable for our family of four and was outfitted with more than the usual rental. The beds were comfortable, lots of extra towels, a fully equipped kitchen (I was even able to bake brownies for my son's birthday), and lots of attention to small details (the driftwood sculptures, brightly colored bowls, clear instructions for every appliance). The condo is in a great location as well, close to Ocotal Beach (we drove because of our small kids but you could easily walk) and away from the hustle of Coco. And the pool was amazing! Overlooking mountains, perfect for kids and adults, and never very crowded. We met some great people there and felt very much at home. We definitely hope to return.

The villa was perfect!! Fully stocked with a view that was out of this world!!
From the super easy rental process at the beginning, everything was superb. Tito met us at the door when we arrived and gave us the keys and the low down of the area, he even gave us a ride to town that evening even with it being after 10pm!! The unit was fully stocked with any and all items that a person could possibly use during their stay. I was there for 55 days and used the kitchen quite regularly and never once was stuck requiring an item that wasn't available in the kitchen. The groundskeepers worked through the scorching heat everyday to try instigate the growth of the vegetation after the long dry season and the grounds always looked great, and absolutely amazing once they were helped with a little bit of rain. Don't let the 'rainy' season scare you away, it only rains for a few hours 5-6 days a week, and most of the time it's during the night or early morning. Still leaving tons of sunny weather for for our enjoyment. Can't wait to go back, Pura Vida!!

Nice condo & property located in a convenient location
We enjoyed our stay at Kathy's condo in the Villas La Colina. The condo is nicely decorated and fronts on a unique and beautiful swimming pool, around which we made many new friends during our weeks-long stay. Kathy is an extremely helpful and attentive host, who took the initiative to communicate regularly both before and during our stay. Playa Ocotal beach is within a 15-20 minute walk and the Playas del Coco beach and downtown are a 30-40 minute walk or 10 minute cab ride away. Playa Ocotal is a lovely, smaller beach which is generally less busy than Coco and other more tourist-oriented towns and beaches. The waters at Ocotal are usually very swimmable with some good rock-reefs offshore, along which ocean-life can be viewed while snorkeling. Downtown Coco has several choices for restaurants, bars, night-life, groceries and recreation. Several of Costa Rica's interesting and exciting attractions are within a 30 minute to 3 hour drive of this location. We would recommend Kathy's condo as an affordable and pleasant home and base for your Northwest Costa Rica get-away. George and Dee Brown Michigan, USA

Beautiful, stunning, awesome, perfect location!
Couldn't ask for a more stunning location. We had everything we needed there, (except a car.) I would highly recommed this location to anyone, but seriously recommend a car rental. It's a great walk to town but far if you just need one or two items. Also if you want to explore the other parts of Costa Rica it would be cheaper and better to have your own vehicle unless you have a fat wallet full of cash to pay someone or do tours. If you're happy with just keeping to yourself and chilling out without the need to explore too much then this is totally the right place! But more adventurous people seriously look into it! -Make sure your Visa insurance covers you and hold your ground-don't fall for the "insurance" issues they may try to convince you that you need. For the most part the people are super super awesome in Costa Rica, but sometimes (incertain business types) they will try to convince you you need more than you really do. In other words DO YOUR RESEARCH thoroughly! Other recommendations are.....bring your own medications if you think you're catching a cold! We picked up a bug on the airplane and buying medicatios was EXPENSIVE!! A simple antihistimine/decongestant was about $1.50 PER PILL! So six pills is $9.00 (U.S.) Doesn't sound like much but if you have a headache too,....ibuprofen is about $1.00 We (two people) needed them both for three weeks, twice a day, until we were clear and could breathe again. That's $210.00 U.S. for basically Advil cold and sinus. Just trying to give you some perspective. Check out Zi Lounge in the downtown between 11 and 7 for happy hour and try the pizza,....yep the pizza DELISH!!! The pasionfruit frozen drinks.....YUM!! The Luperon and Mega Super are your best bets for price when buying groceries go there first-not kidding! If you want some more Canadian/American items the Auto Mercado is pretty good for that, but also double the price-again do your research, it's worth the time. If you don't speak spanish, DO get the google translate app and download the Spanish translator so you can use it offline as well. It is super handy because you can type in, or speak ingredients to find out what they are and also communicate with the locals. Only a very SMALL amount of people speak somewhat good English so take the time to learn basic Spanish, or at the very least download that app. The location of this condo was perfect because it was in the middle of two beaches that you can easily discover and out of town.

Amazing view!
We stayed 10 days in the condo and we really enjoyed the view from the balcony and the pool! The condo has the best spot in Villa la Colina as it is at the end, on the second floor, with the woods behind. The only sound you hear is birds and monkeys. We saw several monkeys in the trees behind our bedrooms. The site is very well maintained and the condo was very clean. We enjoyed having a cocktail at the Father Rooster. The communication with Kathy and Tito was easy and quick. We would like to come back in the future!
