We had everything we needed for a beautiful stay and the property manager is on site, lovely, and was willing and able to provide what ever we needed including 2 wonderful meals! Minor issue with the hot water for showers but frankly with the air temp and humidity it was refreshing and we did not ask to have it fixed!! It is off the beaten path and 50-60 minutes from sight seeing but worth it for the privacy, quiet and calm down time. Wonderful! Thank you for your attention to our every need Lucy and Luis!

La villa est superbe. La plage, la mer et ses vagues le sont autant. L’air climatisé est efficace dans la maison. Les 2 personnes qui s’occupent de la villa sont discrètes et très gentilles. Il faudra cependant être patient avec le four, le lave-vaisselle et le BBQ qui ne fonctionnent pas au attentes.standard, 2 des 3 salles de bains dans les chambres n’avaient pas d’eau chaude pour les douches.Mais sommes toutes, nous avons adoré et RECOMMANDONS.. Sur le site il y a un énorme manguier et nous avons aperçu des singes capucins pratiquement tous les jours sur le site.Parrita étant qu’à seulement 20 minutes, ça nous a facilité la vie pour les courses (épicerie et autres).Merci Maria, Lucy et Luis

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!

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.

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!

Fantastic property! Luis and Lucy, the caretakers were amazing people and helped us feel at home. This home is in a quaint town in between Jacó and Quepos and you do have to drive down a dirt beach road for 15 minutes to get there. The beach is pristine, Luis keeps the property perfect, monkeys walk through every night and morning and fresh coconuts, limes and yuca grow in the yard. Beds, a/c and kitchen all function well. Great for cooking and spending days there. Lucy helped us coordinate a horse riding experience that came to the house and get our friends from the airport midweek. Lucy also will cook for you for additional money and Luis got us many coconuts from the tree to keep us hydrated. You can walk straight out to the beach. It is very remote or you can lay in hammocks and see the the ocean from the yard. Our kids are 10 and 8 and I felt very safe. The ocean does have rip currents - so keep yourself and little ones in shallow water except for high tide. We saw monkeys, macaws, many types of birds, devil rays (not dangerous), toads, and a few loving dogs looking for snacks. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! Thank you!

Beautiful vacation property-just as described and more!

Villa Mar Lago is a comfortable, spacious, well kept beach front villa...exactly as stated and shown in the VRBO pictures. Lucy and Luis, the onsite caretakers, are a pleasure in every way...from the property condition to the meals Lucy prepared, their helpfulness and kindness is much appreciated. Lucy and Luis take the best care of the property and were most welcoming upon our arrival to the villa. The beach is secluded and private black sand with a beach front palm frond umbrella and hammocks strung between the palms by the beach. The villa was clean, the beds comfortable, sleeps 8 comfortably in 3 bedrooms each with its own bath and a separate cabana with kitchen/LR area with a 4th bedroom. Birds and monkeys can be found in the trees, a local restaurant 5 km back toward town offered great meals as well. Quepos is about 50 minutes away, Parritas 20 minutes for groceries. For a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation, stay at Villa Mar Lago. We would definitely return some day!
