The Soothing Sunet Villa w/ pool and all inclusive option

Amazing private Villa, inside Villa Sol Hotel, next to Condovac La Costa. Special big Thanks to William for all the assistance and help, he is outstanding host.

The property was well located although anyone was mobility issues would not be able to access.Somewhat dated, but generally satisfactory.

I had contact with the VRBO owner, the broker (Raquel) and they were both professional, kind and quick to reply. The house was clean, spacious, great air conditioning and plenty of fans and beautiful! I thought the photos were nice but it was more beautiful in person! The broker met us at the property, gave a tour and explained the necessary details. We stayed for 10 days. Used our personal pool half the time and the resort pools and shuttle service daily. This was our first time to Costa Rica and we had such a fantastic trip that we can't wait to go back. This location was close to Liberia Airport (30 min easy drive) clean and well maintained. Our views were incredible! 15 min drive to Coco Beach and easy walk or shuttle ride to Hermosa Beach from the attached Villa Sol resort. 10 out of 10 recommend.

This property is amazing and just a short walk to Playa Hermosa, which is a great beach within the bay. Not so crowded. Location is 10 min drive to Playa Coco area with more shopping and markets.

Great location close to the beach and with a beautiful view of the bay. Nice patio area to relax. Gated resort with guards at both entrances. Extremely safe feeling. Only down side is that the houses are close together. There was also some confusion with the check-in. I’m new to renting from VRBO and didn’t know I needed to contact the host before arriving.

The lock on patio door did not work when we got there. The pole to block it had rolled under couch from previous guests or cleaning crew, so we didn’t know it was there. No one responded until we contacted again after 6 raccoons came in and ate about 100 in food before we woke up to scare them off. They did come and fix after our visitors but we were still out food and had to leave unlocked for first 4 days. We also asked them to send someone to clean up the mess, but that didn’t happen. We loved to deck/pool area.

Nice Villa, close to pool, has everything you need for a great vacation. We wore shoes in the villa as the floors were dirty. Complex is very hilly and this villa sits up higher away from the beach with Great sunset views! There are shuttles to take you to the beach area. We did have visits from local cats, raccoons and a baby skunk.

I will do this again

We enjoyed our stay at Villa 51 in Villa Sol. It is in a nice location in the villa, close to the pool and a nice walk to the restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We spent time every day at the beach, and enjoyed the food at the restaurant! We did have a hard time talking to the manager because he did not speak english and we do not speak spanish. The beds were very hard :(

We had a great time. We had a question during our stay and Jay replied to our message very quickly. (He had been responsive to a few questions from us before our arrival, too.) The villa was clean and had everything we needed. The view is great, and the landscaping provides appropriate privacy from the neighbors even though the villas are fairly tight together. We didn't use the grill, but the deck can make for a great dinner area. The resort shuttle service was really good - even though the resort was very busy during Easter weekend. It is nice that the villa isn't all the way up the hill. We usually used the shuttles going up hill, but walked down sometimes, which only took a few minutes. Having the villa be part of the resort worked out perfectly for us. The rental included all of the resort amenities except bar/food, which was perfect for us. When we used the resort restaurant, we just paid. We didn't have a rental car, but there was parking available very nearby if we had needed it. We booked some tours through the resort desk, and they also booked a driver for us when we wanted to go to another area. We were glad that we had arranged airport transfers before we traveled, but the resort desk would arrange them. This part of Costa Rica was very easy for us American tourists. There was enough English spoken by people in the tourism industry, and we used credit cards and US Dollars without ever exchanging currency. We would stay at this villa again.

This property is a reasonable place to stay. However, we did not start out on the right foot. After travelling all night from Canada, we got the key from the front reception and entered into a real mess. No cleaning had been done. It took us 2 hours to round up the cleaning staff, then 2 hours at the restaurant with an unexpected bill and several more hours waiting on the steps and outside the unit till it was ready for us. Not what we had expected. Jay needs to coordinate this better. So, I give it a 3 star rating on the cleanliness category, due to the delay. It was well cleaned and ready for us, once it got done around 6 pm. 6 of us shared family time here. The a/c is new and worked well. The pool is a short walk away and was very welcome. The kitchen is well equipped with all items needed, except that the wine and drink glasses are in sad quantities and selection. Jay needs to buy complete sets of wines glasses and general drink glasses so that 6 people (and 2 dinner guests one night) could complete a reasonable choice of beverage glasses. What is there now is quite mismatched and deficient. The patio furniture, as others have commented, is quite flimsy and uncomfortable. Needs replacement. Other than those 2 details, the condo is quite as advertised and very comfortable. The beach is pleasant. It’s is walkable if you like to have a bit of exercise. The shuttle buses are very convenient for going to and from if you choose to go with them
