Plunge pool was very nice. Exterior lighting was very poor on the entry stairs (hazardous) and porch.
I cannot say enough good things about this property and owners, they made our trip fantastic they have a beautiful place that is spotless and went above and beyond for everything. The only negative I have, is wish we good of stayed longer,hopefully will be able to come back soon. Thank you so much for making our vacation the Greatest. The Turtle Family
We had a great time at this house. Playa Hermosa is great, very big with small waves so its great for the kids to play in the sand. The house is very clean and fully equipped.
Such a lovely place to stay! We will be back!
Loved the views. Great beach. Comfortable beds. Kitchen and baths could use some updates. Owner and concierge were very helpful. Great value.
We just returned from our stay at Casa D'avida. For two weeks over Christmas my 82 yr. old parents and our 23 yr. old son & GF joined us so there were 6 of us in the villa. The location is perfect for day trips to the nearby national parks and we had rented a vehicle to use which we safely parked in the resort every night. We made family meals together, shopped for food & supplies in Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco nearby. While we enjoyed walking to the beach, and down the beach to the other end, my parents took the resort shuttle so they didn't have to climb the hills in the heat. The shuttle service was frequent and the drivers are very kind. We enjoyed the resort pools but mainly the Villa plunge pool - which is great for cooling off and relaxing. During our time we were in touch with the property manager, Sebastian, who was quick to respond and act on our requests. Since we were there for an extended time, he also helped us secure a cleaning person, Carmen, who was excellent. After our family departed, we spent time relaxing and enjoying the resort which always seemed to have live music available, and activities, if you choose to participate. The AC worked well and the wi-fi connection was strong. Overall we enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend the Villa. Thanks for the fun!
Stayed here March of 2022 with family of 4. The Villa was clean, well equipped, and everything worked great. Bernie was amazing with communication especially when I had questions on the first day. The front porch was great for morning coffee and evening sunsets.
We stayed for a month at Casa da'Vida, and the home was everything we needed! Internet was great for both me and my husband to work remotely, and Sebastian (the property manager) was able to provide a portable table for us to set up our computers/monitors. A/C worked great, and the plunge pool was absolutely the best...I would go out and work from the pool in the afternoons :-) Before we got here, I was unsure if you could actually walk to the beach, so let me clear that up for everyone. It is .6 miles from front door to beach, and the home is on the side of a hill, so it's a decent decline going to the beach, and conversely, a good incline coming home. We are in our late 50s, moderate fitness level, and we walked it every day. Shuttles are available, but we enjoyed the exercise. We ate at 3 different restaurants that are right on the beach (Playa Hermosa): Mariscos, Roberto's, Aqua. So, walk to the beach, enjoy the sunset at 6ish, and then walk home in the dark...no problem! And the overall location of the home is very convenient...there is a grocery store about a 5 min drive from home, plus there is a convenience store in the resort down by the beach. It takes like 10 minutes to drive to Playa Coco, and that area has a lot of food/shopping. The home has everything we needed to cook a few meals, and they also just added an outdoor bar-b-q grill. Bottom line: very comfortable home, close to conveniences, and would recommend staying here!
Our stay was fantastic. Villa del Sol is a great complex and the condo itself was perfect for a family of four. Everything in the condo worked as expected and there were no issues. The location in Playa Hermosa is centrally located with many activities nearby. The local restaurants were a unending supply of adventure for us as we explored Playa Hermosa. This was our first trip to this particular area of Costa Rica and will definitely have it on our list for a return trip. We did mark the property manager lower for two reasons. We had no contact from them as the property owner had indicated we would (we figured things out with the help of the reception team when the property manager didn't reach out) and secondly, there was miscommunication on check out. The Vrbo listing indicated check out was at 11am. The cleaning crew arrived a little after 10am saying check out was 10:30. They camped out on the patio and waited while we hurried to load the car and get out of their way. It would have been better if they had left and came back after we had departed. The experience was a poor end to an otherwise great stay - 4 Stars for the stay overall.
From the minute you step in the door you feel at home in paradise. The house itself is beautiful and comfortable but the views, patio and fantastic pool on the patio just put it over the top. Bernie is so great and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We very much liked the property, as advertised, clean and functional. Property definitely needs an outdoor BBQ for cooking, however maybe Bernie and David figured with all the cats and racoons hanging around, best not to go there. Racoons were the worst part of the rental. Kinda aggressive and prone to going to the bathroom in the plunge pool. Villas Sol needs to take control of that situation because do not see it getting any better on its own. Home Away Sebastian and Daniela very nice and helpful.
