We had such a beautiful stay at Mar a Lago. Everything in the house was perfect and the grounds are stunning. Luci should be added as an amenity because we so enjoyed her food and company. We would certainly return here for another stay.

Lucy and Luis made our stay in Costa Rica extra special! Lucy is a ray of sunshine, radiating joy! The property was amazing… exceeded our expectations! Walks on the beach were incredible at sunrise and sunset! So quiet and secluded, very few people. Take a boat tour with the neighbor I believe his name is Rafael. We had the best time in the mangroves with the monkeys! Can’t give this place enough stars!

The house was amazing! Staying here felt so luxurious for our family of 4. We enjoyed being a 1 minute walk from the house to get to the beach. The hammocks strung under coconut trees were a highlight. Lusi made us feel welcome, greeting us with a smile and making sure we were taken care of. Such great hospitality! We also enjoying the pool and seeing the monkeys pass through once or twice a day. My daughter really enjoyed drinking from coconuts too. We would definitely stay here again and miss it already! Truly a paradise!

Maria was an excellent host very easy to contact and very helpful with several things I was trying to accomplish on this trip. The house and grounds were fabulous and the onsite caretakers were incredible and always available to assist with anything we needed. They did this all without being intrusive. The pool has to be one of the largest in the area. It was my favorite amenity.

This house was so beautiful with wide open spaces downstairs. The kitchen was easy to navigate and had what we needed to make a quick breakfast. Outside was a refreshing pool and the grounds were stunning. The massive beach was only a few meters away and the sunsets were breathtaking. Communication with the host was easy and Lucy was absolutely delightful!

Family Vacation

My husband, I and our 4 kids (3 teenagers and 1 college age) stayed here for a week and loved it! We liked that it is out of the city, we loved being able to go back and forth from the ocean to the pool, and the property is very well maintained!!

Costa Rica Beach House

Our family of 5 stayed a week at this beach house and we loved it! We had so much privacy and were the only people on the beach. It is definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive! Lucy was an amazing host and made us feel very comfortable.

We loved our stay at Mar a Lago! The house was beautiful and located right on the beach! But the highlight of our stay was Lucy and Luis who took such good care to make sure we felt at home. Lucy was the best cook so make sure you have her cook as often as you can! And tell them we said hello :) A must stay!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at this beachfront property Villa Mar a Lago! The house is exactly as described – expansive, spotless, and perfectly set up for a comforting getaway. Having direct access to the beach was incredible. We loved our walks along the shore and afternoons lounging by the private pool. The location is peaceful and quiet, with plenty of privacy. One of the highlights was the natural environments – we regularly saw monkeys in the trees and heard birds all around. It felt like a private heaven. It’s also a great home base for sightseeing the zone. We took easy day trips to Manuel Antonio, waterfalls, and other local attractions, and always looked forward to returning to this calm, beautiful retreat. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled escape with easy access to some of Costa Rica’s best sights. We would definitely stay here again! And last but not least, Luis and Luci, they do a beyond excellent work keeping the property at it’s finest. Thank you to them as well, without their support this would not have been possible. They are very accommodating, knowledgeable of the area and super friendly.

I recommend our house for your vacation to all the people like to have privacy, nature, peace of mind and get away of stress.
Palo Seco is a beach away from the crowded touristic places, where our guests can enjoy and know the costarican real life and enjoy the beautiful nature.
But for a change also is close enough to Jaco or Manuel Antonion.

What makes this property unique

Direct beach front, 60.000 sqfeet of land, a big pool with 1.650 sqfeet area.
