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.

Found paradise in Costa Rica

Wow, where to begin in describing this beautiful villa and having the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime. This villa is stunning-tastefully decorated, spacious, and luxurious. The location was perfect! Beautiful rain forest/ocean views from the balconies. Every morning we were awakened by howler monkeys calling out from nearby trees, and we saw so many beautiful tropical birds. Mark is an exceptional host and it was such a pleasure meeting him! You can tell he really cares about his villa and providing his guest with the best service possible. His staff is amazing! Jorge was invaluable in helping me plan the trip. He was on top of everything and responded really fast! It was a great pleasure meeting him as well. What an incredible man he is! The housekeeper and grounds keeper were very nice as well, always greeting us with a friendly smile, making us feel right at home. The chefs cooked the most amazing food! Every morning we looked forward to their delicious breakfasts. This villa, Mark, the staff…what an amazing experience we had! Thank you Mark, for sharing this paradise with us and giving us the best vacation of our lifetime! This villa is a true paradise!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!!

This is an awesome property to rent!

We rented this villa for a family vacation. It was a special vacation organized for my 83 year old father! There were 12 of us in total and we had an amazing time! The house is exactly like the pictures and it is amazing. Everything was top notch! We had most of our meals cooked by Gerami, the house chef and every meal was spectacular! You will definitely have many encounters with Monkeys on the property. This was a definite highlight for us. There are also lots of bird sightings. The location of the house is wonderful because it is not too far from many of the excursions. We did the Catamaran, River tubing and Nauyaca Waterfalls and enjoyed all of them. I highly recommend this property, the owner and all of the staff are amazing and the house is spectacular!

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.

Amazing Week

This was my third time to Costa Rica, first time renting a house. The communication between Mark (the owner) and Jorge (property manager) was top notch. There were 18 people in our party ranging from 5 years old to 50 years old. Every single person had the time of their life. Jorge took care of everything for us with a smile on his face the entire time. Germaine (the chef) we begged to come home with us. The best food that we had in Costa Rica (and best price too) was when he cooked for us at the house. From the daily monkey visits, to the indescribable views of the ocean, delicious food & having the best property manager help us - there is nothing but good things to be said. I look forward to returning one day.

Amazing!!!

This trip was absolutely amazing!!! Jorge answered every question we had from start to finish, he also had everything in place throughout our entire trip to make sure we were good throughout the 8 days we were there. We traveled with 14 of us ranging from 12-70 and had plenty of room to be comfortable. We spent a lot of time at the pool or 3rd floor deck enjoying the views or the wildlife that came to visit throughout the day. Every part of the house had amazing views and was very well kept up. Germaine and Josephine cooked breakfast and dinner 5 days for us. We enjoyed joking around with them every morning and night and looked forward to the next day and what they would have for us. They were an awesome team and cooked the best food that we ate by far while we were on our trip. I would book them for the entire trip next time to cook every day. Silvia cleaned the house everyday and did laundry. The house was spotless when we would return from the beach and everything was put back where it went. She was great!! The grounds around the house are extremely well kept and we even saw the owner Mark there doing a few things. All in all we will be back to this home again hopefully soon. Thanks to Mark and his Crew for making our Vacation a dream we never wanted to wake up from. Pura Vida....

Simply Amazing

My group of 18 extended family members ranging from 13 to 75 stayed for a week in this beautiful house in January. Everything about the place was amazing. The views from the house can’t be beat. We swam in the infinity pool watching the monkeys play everyday. The young adults played pool everyday in the game room. And the upstairs rooftop terrace was the perfect place to sit with a cocktail and watch the sunset every evening. I also sat up there in the mornings to watch the Howler Monkeys and drink my coffee. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing. The maid kept the house immaculate despite the large size of our group. RESERVE THE CHEF FOR DINNERS! You will not disappointed. Germaine made amazing meals, did the shopping and after dinner cleanup. It made our time at Vista Oceana so much more relaxing. THE HOUSE! WOW! What can I say? Better than the pictures and the pictures were great. The only slight caveat was the king size beds on the 2nd level were very firm. If you are someone that needs a softer mattress, use one of the other rooms or maybe ask for a thick blanket to place under the sheet to soften it up. You couldn’t ask for a better concierge. Jorge was amazing. If we needed ANYTHING before , during or after the trip he was on it immediately. If you are thinking about reserving … do it! If it is slightly out of your price range but you keep coming back to it… reserve it anyway. As my niece said: “ this was the best vacation ever!” Pura Vida!!!

We had the most wonderful week at the villa. The location is spectacular, home was large enough to accommodate our entire 13 member family for a most memorable trip. Jorge our concierge was available to us at all times and responded almost immediately if there were any issues We also availed ourselves of the chef and kudos to Jose and Jermaine for their wonderful food preparation. They truly made our week stay memorable. We arranged all activities with Jorge the concierge and he made everything so easy for us which resulted in a memorable family vacation celebrating a special birthday.

Fantastic property for a large group (we had 9, using all 7 bedrooms), great location, housekeeping, and the owner even dropped by with some cookies and fresh plantains from his farm. The concierge, Jorge, was especially helpful in making everything run smoothly, from outings and dining to transportation. And almost every day we got to see capuchin and squirrel monkeys playing on the balconies, along with other wildlife. Easy access to the beach, though the walk is steep enough that one of us sometimes drove the others (especially very old or young) up and down the short road.

A In Every Way!!

Beautiful villa with amazing views. Loved being near Manual Antonino and seeing the capuchin and howler monkeys, birds of all types, and beautiful butterflies. All sleeping rooms were spacious with in suite baths. Two of them even have their own kitchens. . Rooms are each individually climate controlled so everyone could have the coolness he/she wanted. Mark (owner) and Jorge (concierge) are gracious, accommodating and very responsive. When Richard had trouble with the stairs to the primary suite in the villa, Mark arrived the next day with a cane for him to use and told him to keep it to help get home!! (so kind) The grounds man Ras and cleaning lady Sylvia were the best. Sylvia will pick up any dirty clothes left outside your bedroom and return them clean that same day. On top of all these wonderful staff, Quentin, our chef, did an amazing and beautifully presented meal for us whenever requested. Everyone enjoyed the meals and his presentations. Pool was cozy with even a swim up bar. Twice we cooked dinner outside on the gas grill which is fully equipped and even has a small fridge and swim up bar. Mark brought us some homemade cookies that he made himself three times during out stay. A special and welcome surprise! The excursions available were plenty and varied with easy catamaran party for everyone and more strenuous and adventurous options for those who wanted that. All 8 of us, from 21 to 80, loved the villa and everyone who worked there. We were never disappointed!

Fantastic!!!

I can’t say enough about this gorgeous, spacious property ! The home is fabulous and the pool and surroundings are beautiful. We ate every breakfast and dinner outside on the pool patio. We utilized Chef Germaine for our breakfasts and dinners for a family of 10 and it was wonderful waking up to a wonderful, home cooked meal and coming home from the beach or an excursion and having a Chef cooked meal ready! We loved it! The location is perfect for wherever you want to go for the day. Our family participated in a lot of activities listed in the guide for the rental and we were very pleased with every one we did. They were all professionals and took pride in their tour. We had the masseuses come out 3 different days to give all 7 adults massages on the top balcony and we all agreed it’s the best ones we’ve ever had. Being outside, we could hear the crashing of the waves and that definitely helped with the relaxation. The game was with excercise equipment , pool table and foosball was also a perk. And having Sylvia keeping the house clean during the week spacious great too. Jorge!!! He booked all our excursions (and we had a bunch) added to them, deleted some, and answered all the many, many questions I had leading up to our vacation. I need a Jorge to keep my life in order in Kentucky!We met Mark the owner, who is a very gracious gentleman. He brought us home baked cookies one day!All in all, this was a fabulous vacation and it was perfect!!
