Ocean View Villa with 6 bedrooms, Infinity Pool, WiFi 100mb, AC

Very nice place. Host was great and the place worth the money. Villa is very large, clean, and dog friendly. I recommend to Rent ATV. I have a Honda Odyssey with 3500cc motor. I thought I could climb up however I almost broke the car. Also you should visit santa teresa beach and also mal pais.

This house was absolutely amazing! We booked this trip to celebrate my wife's Birthday and all had a fantastic time! The views were gorgeous in every direction and the location was perfectly located just outside of town. The house itself was incredibly spacious and accommodating for my wife, myself and five friends (and we could have easily fit more). There was a very private feel at the house while the location allowed us to easily access all that town has to offer. Our hosts, Pat and Mati were very attentive regarding any requests that we had while maintaining a genuine respect for our privacy. It was a perfect balance. Pat and Mati helped us set up our ATV rental which was conveniently delivered to and picked up from the house. They also had fantastic restaurant recommendations and were more than willing to help us out answering any other questions that we had. I would note just as other have in their reviews that it would be very much recommended to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to access the house as there some inclines and rocky terrain but this just added to the adventure.All in all, we can't say enough about this property and our kind hosts. Thanks again and we hope to come back for another visit soon! Pura Vida!

We loved every minute at Casa Moana

The views and the house are incredible. Without a doubt I would rent it again. The host Maximo was always very friendly and always attentive to any questions.

We stayed for a month with friends and family coming and going. There was plenty of space for each of us to have our privacy while still being able to gather for dinner and hang out together. The pool was a nice surprise with it being about 8’ deep on one end. It’s close enough to walk down to the beach through the hotel below. The staff there are so helpful and welcoming. A/C in each of the rooms make it nice for sleeping. Last but not least, the view from there is truly spectacular!

This property couldn’t have been any better!! The BEST VACATION RENTAL EVER!!! Best view, best pool, best kitchen, comfy beds…. Just the best!!! We definitely want to return!!! We dream of this place on a daily basis!

We were 8 adults and 3 children. Everything ok

The house in Malpais is absolutely breathtaking! The views are incredible, the house is perfect, and the accommodations were better than expected. We did have some troubles upon check in. When I checked in at the house, after a very long drive, I was told that the VRBO property manager did not tell John, the hotel manager, of our arrival and we ended up spending the first night in the hotel as the house was not yet ready for us. This was very disappointing but overall the rest of the week was incredible and would love to go back!

We enjoyed our trip, the house, the neighborhood. Cindy and John were very helpful. We highly recommend this rental.

The house is amazing. View and pool spectacular. Rooms clean and comfortable. Cindy the manager helped us with everything an d was wonderful to work with . Set up amazing cooking class with Barb, our dinners, surfing lessons, massages, fishing and zip lining. The house is just above the hotel so nice to be able to walk down to bar/restaurant. Food there was excellent!!! We had tire issues on way there and staff helped us get that situated too! Note: you absolutely need 4x4 to get to the house. We parked our non 4x4 at hotel and walked up but it is VERY steep. Probably should have taken shuttle from airport and rented ATVs for the week instead. Wish there had been more chaises by the pool for everyone to have place to lounge. And yes WiFi did not always function but that seemed to be global issue not specific to house.

Our three generation family traveled to Malpais as this year's annual week-at-the-beach to reconnect and have fun. The setting of Casa Moana couldn't have been more perfect for teenagers through the generations to grandparents. The house was absolutely lovely, equipped with everything we could possibly need. Jon was always readily responsive to all of our needs, and arranged for tours (canopy tour and zip lining, snorkeling and whale watching, surfing lessons for our 2 oldest grandsons, and a tour to the waterfalls and cliff jumping. In between all this activity the lovely pool was waiting for us, to begin and end our days. I must reinforce the other reviews for this house …. believe us all when we say ATVs are a must, and the preferred way to get around town and to the beaches. It is really not walkable, and the roads are a challenge until you get used to them. With that said, our boys thoroughly enjoyed chauffeuring the rest of us around on the ATVs after very quickly becoming acclimated. Cabs are also easy to call and very responsive, should you choose not to drive into town for dinner. I would also caution renters to determine whether the hotel below is open and the restaurant available for meals if you are travelling during the off season as we were. We were able, however, to walk up the driveway to another hotel with bar and restaurant in the property next door. All in all, nevertheless, this was a most marvelous trip and family experience.
