Luxury Oceanview Villa with Private Chef, Infinity Pool, & Staff

The house was well cared for and clean. Ana and Freddy did a wonderful job at making meals and helping us arrange activities. The view was spectacular. The host communicated quickly and answered questions. We would love to stay there again.

This looked amazing online and when we arrived, our kids said “ this place is even better than the pictures show “! Wendy was an amazing host who helped us with transportation, additional hotel stays in the area, and every recommendation we needed. The house was well equipped, Ana made us amazing meals, and the views were awesome. I’d like to give this a 7 star review if possible.

We had an incredible stay! Ana, the in-house chef, was absolutely fantastic—her meals were delicious and her local recommendations made our trip even better. The property itself was spectacular, beautifully maintained, and perfect for relaxing. The views were absolutely stunning, and the sunsets were unforgettable. The surfing in the area is excellent, and the home is truly great for all ages. We would highly recommend this property and can’t wait to return.

We are so thankful for our wonderful stay at this property. It surpassed everything we were expecting. Ana and Freddy are the absolute best. Ana is a superior cook and was so helpful in planning all our activities. Freddy was a diligent hard worker up at the crack of dawn every day cleaning the pool and property. We were so sad to leave. Perfecto!! Can’t wait to come back.

We can't say enough good things about Casa de la Loma. The pictures truly don't do it justice. The view is stunning and we found ourselves enjoying most of our meals outside. Ana and Freddy do an excellent job preparing meals and keeping the grounds clean. The beef tenderloin with the green peppercorn sauce was delicious, and was one of our favorite meals. Freddy makes the best mashed potatoes! Ana prepared most of our meals, cooking a variety of cuisines, including Costa Rician fried rice and fries plantains. She knew who to recommend for activities and had all our excursions within minutes. Hands down, this was our favorite vacation, and we're wanting to go back already!

Cannot say enough great things about our stay. It is the best VRBO property we've stayed at on an all-around basis. Great communication and help from the owner, Ana and Freddy are fantastic, the home is beautiful and perfect for 8-10 people, and Costa Rica is beautiful. Staying here you get to experience more of the local towns than you would staying at a resort. Do not hesitate booking a stay during the rainy season. There's still plenty to do (sometimes more fun in the rain), and still plenty of sunshine for the beach or pool. The cooler temps are also nice, but it was never too cold to get in the water. Last time we came to Costa Rica it was in the summer season and at a resort. This trip was all-around the better trip! Can't say enough good things about Ana and Freddy. She makes delicious meals, and took the time to talk and answer all of our questions about the local towns and the country to help teach us about Costa Rica. Freddy is like a ninja working in the background sweeping up, cleaning up, or grilling, while Ana takes care of everything else. They feel like part of the family by the time you leave, and you'll want to come back and visit them! If we get a chance to go back to Costa Rica, we would definitely stay at this house again (as long as Ana and Freddy are still there)!

Beautiful property, Ana and Freddy are the best. If we revisit costa rica will definitely be staying there.

This property and the amazing staff deserve 11 out of 10 across the board. From booking to check-in to location and Ana and Freddie, we had a sublime vacation.

We had the most amazing time at Casa de la Loma. We arrived and Ana and Freddy were there to greet us and when we walked into the home just as the sun was setting it literally took our breath away. The pictures don’t begin to show the beauty of this place. A 4 wheel drive is needed to get up the last hill but it’s not scary at all - and I’m a wimp. The town of Samara is very close if you can tear yourself away from the home. And I don’t even know where to begin to praise Ana’s‘s cooking and her attention to every detail. On top of that the pool is so wonderful with the view spread out below you as you sip a cold drink. Don’t miss the chance to stay at this wonderful home.

The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day! All reviews say Ana will help with excursions upon arrival (which made us - typical over planners a bit nervous), but within our first hour Ana helped us set up everything we were hoping to do and more! I would strongly recommend this home to anyone looking for a dream vacation! We will be back! Thank you Wendy, Ana and Freddy!

There are a few things travelers should know that are not specified in the listing. This is not a typical VRBO. The listing refers to Ana and Freddy as caretakers. In reality, they are constantly present. They live in the lower level of the house. In addition, we were scolded for having friends visit us at the house. We were told it was rude and we needed to ask for permission. Also, travelers are expected to tip 5 to 15 percent on the accommodation.
