Perfect getaway

The house was beautiful, clean and perfect for our friend getaway! Chris who lives on the property and maintain it was AMAZING!! he was quick to respond to anything we needed from where to go out at night, to authentic food spots, and helping out with appliances. He was such a sweet person and a pleasure to have on the property and have a my morning coffee with as he cleaned up the pool.

Birthday in Portreros

Appreciate the response from your main office to requests! Beautiful home with many amenities loved the infinity pool- we celebrated my hubbys 55th Birthday with 2 other couples… plenty of room for all of us….. we made our fun around the pool area. The caretaker that lives in the back yard, under the patio… he was very cordial & responsive to any needs. Overall we had a great time! The check in process was a bit crazy…. Trying to meet somewhere other than the home location… .it is a remote location not expecting the road to the house is rough & bumpy…. Wish we could have been able to walk places or to the beach…. Also we recommend the caretaker arrive at the front door to requests- Thanks for the hospitality!

Beautiful View

Uneven rating. Road rough but this is Costa Rica. Beautiful view, pool, caretakers very nice. Balcony superb for am coffee and evening drinks. AC worked well. Beds comfy. Pool and house kept clean. Washer and dryer worked well. Downside- place needs better maintenance. Pool chairs ripped and missing while being fixed, refrigerator leaked and took 2 visits to fix, shower in Master does not all work and what did was feeble. Security system-was told it did not work by walk through person but later found it did. NONE of the mini refigerators worked ! Upstairs 1/2 bath sink drain did not work. Handyman came pulled out drain and left tools on counter. Still there when we checked out ! Disappointing to have call several times for things that property manager should pay attention to and repair.

Gorgeous Sunsets

We loved this house in Costa Rica! Plenty of room for four couples. The drive up the road is bumpy but worth it. When you see the first sunset you will be smiling! We made great use of the pool for relaxing and floating. The swim up bar was a treat on Valentine’s Day when our spouses served us Pina Coladas. The kitchen and grill worked well for our appetizers and dinners in. Grocery stores are not far, though we planned our visits well to save trips. We saw so many birds, hiked on the near by trails, enjoyed the beaches. Our favorite dinner out was at Coco Loco. Best breakfast after ATVing was Patagonia Del Mar. Our favorite beaches were Danta for monkeys at 5:00 and sunset, Penca, and Conchal. Pura Vida!

Villa Oasis

Our family of 5 had the most wonderful time staying at Villa Oasis. The house is beautiful and the views of the ocean,mountains and sunsets are so much more than what photos can show. The proximity to restaurants, beaches and activities are only minutes away. The road to the house is very drivable, just bumpy and dusty in the dry season . The care taker, Christopher and his mom Maria keep the Villa so clean. We appreciated having beach chairs and an ice chest for beach outings. The salt water pool was perfect and so refreshing after a day in the sun. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our week in Costa Rica. We will be back!

Beautiful Property

Our group of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. We loved the warm classic decor and made full use of the gorgeous verandas to enjoy the view and watch the incredible sunsets every evening. It was very clean, and well stocked with dishes, coffee maker, barbecue, etc. There were lots of towels and bedding available. Our only issue was that there were building materials stored in closets and various spots around the house, presumably for an upcoming reno, but made space for our belongings a bit limited. Maria, the housekeeper came in a couple of times to clean. The pool was lovely, and kept in tip top shape by the caretaker Cristofer. He was super helpful, giving us advice on local must sees, helped us to arrange a fishing/snorkeling trip, and gave us daily Spanish lessons as well! We also enjoyed our resident iguanas (although there were a few other creepy crawlies we could have done without!) Our big disappointment was that we didn't see any monkeys, so we'll have to come back for that!

Beautiful property with incredible views

I stayed here with my husband and his family. There were 6 of us total. Our first impression of the property was that is was huge. There was a lot of space to spread out. The master bedroom is upstairs with a living space and the other 3 bedrooms are all on the main level with the dining and kitchen. The view is breathtaking, pictures just don't do it justice. CONS: The drive up to the property was VERY rugged. I don't know that we would have made it in a car versus an SUV as there are lots of rocks and ruts. The "hot tub" is not heated. Our host said there was no need for one, but when it cools down in the evenings and we all would have enjoyed that. Downstairs beds are hard. Lastly, nobody cleans the pool during your stay. We actually had to clean it ourselves because it was getting so dirty. I'm not sure why there is a caretaker onsite if they don't do pool maintenance at the very least. PROS: Value, the value was definitely there. Plenty of space to spread out. Safety, the entire property is gated. Lots of hot water and good water pressure. Fully stocked kitchen, we had everything we needed. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and have no regrets about staying here, but I don't know that we would choose this property again as it was quite the drive up the mountain. I will say that the property management company was a pleasure to work with and I had no issues in the planning, checking in or checking out process.

Better than advertised

Shout out to the on site caretaker of the property, Christopher. Fantastic guy, great resource for local information and made sure everything was running smooth in paradise. The house and pool were even better in person. Amazing views and comfortable accommodations. The road to the property can be a little rough but is definitely worth it. We were very happy to discover trailheads within 100 feet that we could use to hike down to the nearest beach. I’d recommend this place to everyone.

Awesome rental - highly recommend

Gorgeous home overlooking Playa Potrero, we really enjoyed our stay. Check-in process was flawless, communication was great, and it was good value for the money. It only takes 7 mins to get uphill on unpaved road, 4x4 is not needed but SUV is recommended. The view from the house is unbelievable. Make sure propane tank is provided at the beginning of the stay.

Amazing views, Attentive Management, Possible updates

Amazing views, convenient location, easy check in and attentive management and staff. On-site staff was available to help but out of sight and respectful of privacy. As a real estate developer I would note the property was well built but due for some updates, however, it was priced right in the market snd we would rent this home again. A bit of construction traffic heading to sites above us were not constant but occasional and property would benefit with some screening. Work remoters….Wi-Fi and up/down speeds were adequate but less than we paid for to upgrade. In summary, great value, views, management and staff….enjoyed views of sunsets over the ocean, howler monkeys beneath us, birds and the general tranquility.

Incredible Vacation Home

This home has one of the best views I've experienced. Nestled on top a hill, you'll see the most incredible sunsets every night. Potrero is a great city with lots of restaurant and cafe options nearby. The beaches near the house are also incredible. You can have fun in this home whether you want to hangout at the pool all day relaxing and looking at beautiful wildlife, or use it as a homebase for exploring Costa Rica. Our group consisted of 3 couples and everyone loved our experience. We gathered on the upper balcony every evening for drinks, snacks and to enjoy the views. The house could use a few updates, but overall we loved the property. Christopher and his family (caretakers of the property) were very friendly and helpful in helping us solve any issues that arose.

Hidden Gem in Protrero

Our group of seven was so pleased with our house. Great interior spaces, balconies, and pool. Laundry and comfy beds. The maintenance staff was meticulous and accommodating. An example of the service: We wanted a microwave and there wasn’t one. We made a call and it came the next day! Our friendly caretaker Christopher set it up for us. The house is perfectly situated to enjoy the sunrise over the mountains in the morning and the sunset over the ocean in the evening... We were not expecting to see much wildlife in this location, but WOW, the views – plus monkeys, er, frolicking in the trees, iguanas, and lots of parrots and other birds. Bunches of inviting restaurants 15 minutes away and close to some great beaches. Perfect spot - not in the middle of everything , but close enough to everything. Definitely need a car - It’s just a dirt road that gets you here – and a tad bumpy – but absolutely no problem for driving (with or without a 4x4) Highest marks for this vacation residence!

Beautiful stay, maybe a couple of updates

The property was really wonderful and the surroundings couldn't have been more beautiful. Loved the location, and communication was super fast and easy. The important stuff was all really great. Some of the less important stuff could use some attention. The house was spacious, though a bit run down in some parts. The kitchen didn't have much in terms of cooking (Salt, pepper, oil) or supplies, which was a little bit of a surprise since houses I've rented before from VRBO would typically have some condiments, essentials, paper towels, detergents (even if just left over from previous guests) so it was a little annoying to have to buy all of that.

Family Vacation

Costa Rica is one our favorite vacation locations. The house was just as it was listed. The grounds were kept neat, house was clean and the onsite house manager was very helpful. Our stay was in March, which happens to be the dry season in that region. That meant a very dry landscape and many area fires. I believe that lead to a few unwanted "scurrying guests" in our master-bedroom. It took the onsite house manager a couple of tries, but he managed to remove them. The property managers were very responsive to the issue. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The pool was a very pleasurable amenity. The view from the house is beautiful and I'm sure during the non-dry season it is even more breathtaking, however that comes at a cost. The steep road to the property is not paved and extremely rocky. A 4-wheel drive vehicle would be necessary.

Great vacation in CR

3 couples( 6 adults) came to this Villa April I5 for a week. This place was absolutely everything like mentioned. Very private, up a mountain. Breathtaking views. The first day, we decided to cancel our rental car and used transfers. Maria at the concierge service was able to suggest transfer contacts. . Best decision. All of us had a stress free week. Miguel’s and Maria the caretakers of the house were all the time available when needed. Very nice people. House had everything we needed. We had rooms we never had the chance to use. Concierge organised custom excursions with a driver « Goose ». Excellent decision again. He made sure we did everything we wanted to see in Costa Rica. We would recommend this Villa for a group of friends wanting to relax in Costa Rica.

Beautiful home with great views

What a great place to stay! A beautiful home with amazing views. We wanted to get away with the family for Spring Break and not go to a large hotel and share a pool during the pandemic. This was the perfect place for us. Here is a quick list of what we liked and what we thought could use a little improvement: Pros: -Nice large home -Amazing views -Great pool -Nice furnishings and amenities -Comfy beds and blackout curtains in all rooms -Close to town, beach, and activities -Onsite caretaker was very kind a prompt. -Gated and felt very secure -Great TV room with Netflix access Cons: -Shower in master bath that was a bit leaky -Hot tub heater not working -It can get pretty windy up on the hill, so the pool was hard to keep clean -Some of the outdoor furniture needed to be repaired. - A few more pool toys and float would have been nice. Overall a fantastic home that we highly recommend!

Relaxing Birthday Getaway at Villa Oasis

I traveled to Costa Rica with my mother, 6-year-old daughter and 3 close friends for my most recent birthday. This house is beautiful and the photos simply do not do it justice. The check-in process (with Cristina) was well-coordinated and the concierge service (Maria Chacon with Tropical Homes) was instrumental in ensuring we enjoyed our stay. Concierge can help you arrange transfers, excursions - we did a boat tour (Palo Verde) on one day and a combo zipline/jungle waterslide/mud bath/hot springs (Buena Vista Adventure) excursion on another day - and also assist with in-home chef services and Covid testing to return to the States. Our guide for both days of excursions was excellent. The groundskeepers at Villa Oasis, Jose and Maria, were always available to answer any questions we had and to make sure the house and pool were kept nice and clean throughout our stay. Jose also helped us get to the beach one day and Maria gives awesome massages so don’t pass up that opportunity! Yes, the road leading to the house is unpaved and getting to and from the house is an adventure in itself. Remember that you’re in Costa Rica so you may experience rolling power outages and the wildfires may bring more creatures to the house than you expect. We were surprised, but not alarmed (you’re in the jungle!), by a scorpion and mice that found their way into the house. There is nothing negative to be said about our stay but if we could change anything, we’d ask for the pool lights to stay on a bit later (they are on a timer) since we spent most of our time at the house in the water and for the jacuzzi to be heated which would be good for the evenings when the temperature dips a little. Overall, we had an amazing, relaxing time in this well-appointed house and would absolutely return again.
