Villa Mariposa N°10 - Luxury Beachfront Escape, Private, Steps to Beach & Pool

Absolutely beautiful home overlooking the beach. Zero complaints

It's rare that the actual experience meets--and even exceeds--the posting and photos. What a special spot! Alvin was truly the most extraordinary host; he was on top of everything and super responsive and helped us book a variety of outings. He even helped book a car to be delivered to the condo! It was amazing to be steps from the beach and the lovely pool; we spent hours just relaxing with a pina colada overlooking the quiet bay and mostly empty beach. We are already planning our return with family.

Beautiful setting, lovely villa, Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans and dishes, utensils and salt and pepper, coffee filters. Restaurant on site was very good for lunch and dinner. They also serve breakfast. Just an idyllic setting to relax and unwind. Beautiful birds and the sounds of the ocean.

Alvin, We had an absolutely amazing time at this vacation rental in Costa Rica! The property was beautiful, well maintained, and perfectly located. Every minute of my stay was enjoyable, from the stunning views to the comfortable accommodations. Communication with Alvin was seamless; they were responsive and provided clear instructions making check in and check out easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Costa Rica (Ocotal) area and I’d gladly stay here again! Suzanna

Host communication was excellent. Excellent kitchen. Incredible location!

Fabulous property, very welcoming host.

Wonderful

This property is stunning! Just perfect and beautiful. And Alvin is the most kind, helpful and responsive host I have encountered on Vrbo. Thank you and pura vida!!

The condo was perfect. So many simple things that made our stay easier-a cooler, and especially the child gates. #10 villa is perfect-steps to the beach and the pool/restaurant. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful as I practiced my Spanish. Alvin, the host was great too. He took care of making sure the water was safe to drink and that we had a paknplay for our grandson. He also made wonderful recommendations for dinner.

A perfect location for our family of 7, including our 1.4 month-old granddaughter - everyone loved it. Close to the beach, right next to the pool and restaurant (Soluna). Went to the Coco Beach area, (several options for groceries), also had great meals at Soda Teresita (dinner) and Cafe Corazon (breakfast). Per Alvin's recommendations; tried the pizza at La Caveja Pizza - very good!, as well as Father Rooster's, which is a do not miss - the food was great and the sunset was spectacular!!Alvin and Cesar were very helpful with any questions we had.

When I read the reviews on this place, I kind of thought it was too good to be true. When people have said the photos don’t do it justice, don’t get me wrong, the photos are beautiful, but they really don’t. This place was absolutely amazing. We have stayed other places and there are always some kind of issue. This place was 100% clean, gorgeous, and the views were absolutely beautiful!Our villa was literally right next to the resort restaurant and pool, which was a huge convenience. Also walking down the steps to the beach, took about 10 seconds. Every morning we would go sit out on the large patio overlooking the ocean and beautiful landscaping. We would hear, howler monkeys, birds, and had large iguanas visit us every day.Moving on to the owner Alvin was fantastic! We were given very informative details when we booked. Anytime during my trip I would text the owner. He responded to me within five minutes. As everyone else has said in their reviews as well, Caesar, the resort concierge was efficient and so nice. We were completely taken care of.We will definitely be coming back and staying there again. The only thing I hate about leaving this review is I’m afraid people are going to be booking it and I won’t be able to get in it again. Lol.

Villa 10 is where my family and I stayed during our visit. The location of the villa is perfect. It is beachfront and right next door to the pool/restaurant. We loved the accessibility. It is very secluded; we pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves. The villa itself is nice and well equipped. We cooked meals and found everything we needed. We did use the grocery service, and the fridge was well stocked upon our arrival. We utilized the washer/dryer. Each person got one bath towel, so plan on doing laundry. It would’ve been nice to have more towels available. There were plenty of beach towels so that was a nice bonus. I would also suggest extra blankets for the ones that get a little cold during the evenings. Also, watch your toes; crabs tend to sneak in! We took advantage of the games/cards and had family game nights. Getting to the villa is a little tricky; lots of bumpy and windy roads, but we got to/from without issues once we got our directions down. Be sure to visit Father Rooster’s, it has good food and atmosphere. Also, Fabra is amazing. Communication was easy, and Alvin checked in to make sure we were doing well. There was also a nice welcome gift. Overall, this villa is a great space and I would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the villa and the location. It was not crowded and the beach was awesome. A true oasis and my family is already planning our return.

Our family stayed a week at Bahia Pez Vela - Villa 10. The owner sent wonderful comprehensive instructions to facilitate our arrival into the country and the home. The home had everything we needed and so much more. We cooked several meals at home and the kitchen was amply stocked. The living room, kitchen, and dining area had a wonderful open floor plan allowing us to enjoy time together with family and had wonderful touches for the Christmas season. The bed rooms were spacious and had wonderful air conditioning. The bathrooms had bath gel, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner and plenty of towels, including beach towels. The whole staff was incredible but a special thanks to our bartender, Kevin. Special shout out to our two favorites restaurants: 1) Soluna/ AOI sushi at the resort - spectacular drinks (especially recommend the red tide and the spicy green margarita) and food (especially enjoyed the sushi, and traditional Costa Rican dishes), 2) Sugoi Asian Mexican restaurant - solid across the board. We took several days trips, including Rincón de la Vieja national park, boat trip to Witches rock/ Santa Rosa national park, Diamonte eco adventure park, and multiple beaches (tamarindo, grande, coco, flamingo, hermosa were just some of the high points). We could have easily spent the week just enjoying the pool/ activities at the resort. The black sand beach at the resort was definitely one of our favorites. Thank you again for again for sharing your beautiful home!!
