Featured Costa Rica Vacation Rentals

Very extended introduction material and a lot of automatic messages before arrival. The house was comfortable and clean. WiFi was very slow and the host didn’t respond to that, among other things. But at the same time, we got a lot of automatic robot like messages about their service. That didn’t really match. We didn’t like the impersonal feeling we got during this stay. But the house itself lived up to good standards, except for the problems with ants in the kitchen.

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Peace. The manager team were amazing.

El lugar es precioso, la casa es pequeña pero el terreno es grande y las áreas sociales están bastante espaciosas! La piscina es bastante grande y se disfruta mucho! Muchas playas cercanas! Hay un río cerca con unas cascadas que les recomiendo vayan a visitar! La pasamos súper!

Very clean, about 10-15 minutes from most restaurants and beaches. Host was responsive. Home had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay!

Estadía tranquila!

Beautiful house with exceptional views. Kitchen well equipped for all our needs. Even had beach towels and beach chairs which came in very handy as well as a secured lock room to secure all our belongings. House was very clean and beds were very comfortable.

The only issue we faced was late arrival. Jaguar Management clearly states not to arrive after 8pm and unforrunately we did. We travelled early morming from Canada and arrived at San Jose by 1:30pm. After clearing customs (1hour), picking up rental car (1hour), getting out of San Jose (45 min) and driving for 3.5+ hours and stopping for a quick bite to eat, we didnt make it by 8pm. Jaguar sent us some pictues of where to turn, plus we had their directions but still couldn’t find the house after hours of driving around in the dark. We gave up at 1:30am and drove back to Uvita to find another place to sleep for the night. Luckily, we met someone who had a friend that owned a hostel. By 2:30am we were finally settled in for the night. A long day indeed. We were shown the way to the house the next morning.

Word of caution, if you think you may arrive after 8pm then dont stay here your first night because its extremely hard to find by yourself in the dark.

Hello Teresa, we are so glad you loved your stay at beautiful Casa Sea Esta in the charming town of Ojochal. There is so much to do and see in our area!! We have dozens of tours for adventurers and those who just want to chill, tons of nature activities, pristine beaches and waterfalls, and have many excellent restaurants close by. Yes, we explain our meeting time policy in our Welcome Email (sent at the time of booking), and again in our Meeting Email (sent just prior to arrival). Your flight arrived at 1:30pm. Most guests arrive 5.5 -6 hours later after customs, getting the rental car, stopping to get a bite to eat and grocery shopping. That should have put you in our area around 7:30pm. At 9:45pm you messaged us to say “we’re on our way” and assured us you could find the house because you had stayed in our area numerous time before. This was against our advice to please stay the night somewhere en route, so you could arrive safe and refreshed early the next morning. We drove to the house to turn on lights and fans for you, and sent you a photo of each of the five turn-offs leading to the house, with a GPS/Google Map/WhatsApp location of each turn off, and also at the home. Unfortunately we were asleep when you finally arrived in Ojochal at 11pm, as we had to meet a guest for check out very early the next day. We feel so badly that you got lost…we did everything possible to prevent this from happening. This is why we meet our guests in town, and always escort them to the property so they are not stressed out, or get lost as you did. We hope you return soon to see us again in Paradise. Pura vida, Christine and Tom, Jaguar Property Management.

This place was astonishing. Beautiful views, AMAZING house both inside and out! Lots of wildlife around. The private chef was AMAZING as well! The only scary part for me was driving up the hill. But most taxi drivers in the SUVs had no issues at all getting up. Would stay again 10/10

Nous avons passé 3 nuits incroyables dans ce lieu. La vue et les coucher de soleil sont magnifiques. La taille de la piscine est parfaite et à l’abris des regards. Nous n’avons rien à dire sur l’équipement intérieur (petit plus pour la machine à laver et le sèche-linge qui étaient très appréciables). Le lit king-size face à l’océan rendait chaque réveil unique ! Nous avons vu des oiseaux et divers animaux autour de nous pendant ces quelques jours. Si nous revenons au Costa Rica, nous reviendrons ici sans hésitation ! En résumé : un séjour incroyable, Pura vida ! L’accès est assez raide, le 4×4 est nécessaire.

Great house, pool and location.
Well appointed house.
Thank you

Great place! Highly recommend!
