This is a fabulous place to stay, particularly for the price. The property was as described, tucked in a private jungle area with a lovely pool and lots of opportunities to see many examples of the amazing, local wildlife up close! The Villa is very spacious, allowing our family of 8, including a 2 YO, to spread out and enjoy the beautiful views. The location is great for easily accessing great beaches, a multitude of excellent restaurants, and the many activities we enjoyed, including scuba diving at Caño Island, Corcovado, Manuel Antonio, a trip to Nauyaca Waterfalls, deep sea fishing, a mangrove tour, and canyoning. Communication with Claire leading up to our stay was thorough and very helpful, making it easy to get to and into the property and plan for the trip. There were a few, minor upkeep items - a screen door lying on the outside deck, sliding screen doors not all closing tightly, for example, and there were also a few issues at the first of our stay - WiFi/Internet didn’t work, electricity went out for several hours and wasn’t sufficient to run appliances and A/C as needed, and having the info up-front on how to resolve the electricity outage would have been better. However, Claire and Bud responded quickly and effectively to resolve those, even coming in-person more than once and regularly checking in to make sure things were working. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and memorable trip!

Beautiful view and incredible wildlife! We were lucky to get to meet our host , Bud and Claire . They are fantastic people and helpful and responsive when little things needed attention. We stayed for 35 days , My husband and myself , We also had family visit for a week . The house was big enough for everyone to enjoy , the location was in one of the nicest areas with complete privacy , but also a quick ride down to restaurants and excursions. We cooked dinner most nights in the well equipped kitchen , We bought fish every night and made healthy and delicious meals. Mornings were spent in the pool with monkeys and toucans and butterfly’s , The amount of wildlife that we were able to see was incredible, We enjoyed everything about this rental . The house had two air conditioner, one in the master downstairs and the other master upstairs, They also provided us with a portable air conditioner if we needed . The house is far enough up to not need it at all . Freddy was a sweet guy who kept the pool cleaned , katte was the housekeeper who came one day before the kids arrived and did a great job cleaning and refreshing the flowers all around the house . So many things to do in the area , We went zip lining with the OSa canopy tour ( not for the faint at heart ) We went fishing and caught fish and they cleaned it up for us , We came home abd had fresh fish sandwiches. We also went horseback riding which was so much fun . Just rent this home , Claire and Bud are incredible people .

Neat spot in the jungle, although it was different than expected based on the VRBO listing.We did see some great thunder/lightening storms, my kiddo was able to pick wild bananas and see neat wildlife and we appreciated having the pool and outdoor seating area.Travels should be aware that the VRBO listing states 15 min walk to beach/national park and 3 min drive to beach. The house is East of highway in the mountains (not near beach/contrary to VRBO map, which shows it near La Cucinga)AC in two bedrooms ineffective. Windows cannot be closed (which is good for natural air flow, but not good for AC). One of the rooms has a mobile unit without external venting, rendering it useless. When we arrived, there were no extra trash bags/cleaning supplies (dishwashing detergent).Kitchen wasn't "fully equipped/gourmet": no basic items like salt/oil to cook; well loved pots/pans/utensils. We were expecting more given the listing.
