THE PROPERTY. The owner designed the villa as 3 structures all interconnected behind privacy walls and courtyard enclosures. To further ensure that each guest had their privacy, he designed all 7 bedrooms with their own bathroom. As you enter into the enclosed courtyard you will find the Fountain en suite on your right. This is a very spacious suite with a king-size bed and a queen pullout sofa and kitchenette counter. While this suite does not afford an ocean view it does offer a very relaxing jungle view.

From the courtyard, you will also enter into the Main Villa, the main floor offers one King size en suite, along with the main living area, main kitchen, dining area, and poolside retreat. You will find the Master king en suite, and 2 king en suites on the 2nd floor, as well as a queen Murphy bed. All suites have private balconies and incredible ocean views.

Moving up to our 3rd level you will find the awe-inspiring covered terrace with casual seating, two hammocks, and the best views of Manuel Antonio Bay. Large enough for your wedding ceremonies and yoga retreats, while listening to the ocean waves, and watching the beachgoers below!

Leaving the great room, you step out to our pool area, we have a large covered patio, sun deck, double-sided infinity edge pool with swim-up bar, and a toddler area 12" deep and 6 feet square, that seems to melt into the Pacific. We also have the sunken bar and bar-b-q pit, refrigerator, and sink, both of which are under a thatched palm roof.

As you leave the pool area under the thatched overhead you enter the upper floor of our 2-story guest house, this floor contains the kitchenette, full bath, and queen bedroom with a private balcony with ocean views. The lower suite has a full bath, and queen bed with a private balcony with ocean views as well.

The entire villa is furnished with hand-crafted furniture created by Costa Rican artisans and highlighted with original Costa Rican art.

Simply Amazing
My group of 18 extended family members ranging from 13 to 75 stayed for a week in this beautiful house in January. Everything about the place was amazing. The views from the house can’t be beat. We swam in the infinity pool watching the monkeys play everyday. The young adults played pool everyday in the game room. And the upstairs rooftop terrace was the perfect place to sit with a cocktail and watch the sunset every evening. I also sat up there in the mornings to watch the Howler Monkeys and drink my coffee. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing. The maid kept the house immaculate despite the large size of our group. RESERVE THE CHEF FOR DINNERS! You will not disappointed. Germaine made amazing meals, did the shopping and after dinner cleanup. It made our time at Vista Oceana so much more relaxing. THE HOUSE! WOW! What can I say? Better than the pictures and the pictures were great. The only slight caveat was the king size beds on the 2nd level were very firm. If you are someone that needs a softer mattress, use one of the other rooms or maybe ask for a thick blanket to place under the sheet to soften it up. You couldn’t ask for a better concierge. Jorge was amazing. If we needed ANYTHING before , during or after the trip he was on it immediately. If you are thinking about reserving … do it! If it is slightly out of your price range but you keep coming back to it… reserve it anyway. As my niece said: “ this was the best vacation ever!” Pura Vida!!!

Must love monkeys
We came to encounter wildlife and we were not disappointed. Troops of white faced and squirrel monkeys delighted us daily and cooled off on the ledges of the pool. Just in the surrounding neighborhood we found about five sloths, including a mother/baby pair. From the many balconies we watched whales breach and maccaws fly overhead. The sunsets were exquisite. The house was very comfortable and well equipped for a large group (we were 12). The staff was exceptional. Highly recommend the chef service instead of dealing with organizing reservations and transportation to restaurant. The food was outstanding and it gave us more time to just relax, enjoy our family and get into the pura vida vibes. Jorge, the property manager was outstanding. He helped us arrange anything we needed. We had an unusual and urgent situation where I needed to make an immediate call to Panama (long story) and none of our phones could complete the call, and whatsapp wasn't getting through. Jorge saved the day and made the call for us, saving a family member from being stranded in Panama for another day. If you book the excursions, use the email that Jorge provides rather than the printed book in the house. Some of the terms have been changed since the printing. Also, to access the beach, we cut through the Hotel Aroboleda property (they didn't seem to notice or care) rather than walk down the curvy road with no shoulder. They lock the gate at night, so come back before dark.

Family Time
Vista Oceana was perfect for our extended family group of eight adults and eight children ages five to fifteen. The lovely villa is spacious and suited to hosting a group. The setting with an ocean view and plants is beautiful. We spent hours in the pool and were able to see three types of monkeys and many birds from the patio. Slyvia, the housekeeper quietly kept our rooms clean and the pool guy maintained the pool daily in the early hours. The location is very convenient to the beach, restaurants, stores and the public bus. Jorge, the concierge, made trip planning very easy. He provided information and coordinated everything. We chose several adventures: catamaran, Campesines waterfall, zipline and a mangrove tour. Chef Germaine made four delicious dinners for us. We would all love to go back for another visit!

Our Favorite Vacation
We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The house was perfect for our family. Each room has its own bathroom which was so nice. The view from every room as well as the pool is amazing. Daily visits from the monkeys added so much fun. Jorge, the concierge, was wonderful. He worked with us closely to not only provide recommended excursions but also made all the arrangements. Everything went without a hitch. Mark, the owner even came by to welcome us. We hired the chief to make dinner and breakfast for us. The food was fantastic and the presentation was right out of a magazine. This is our new favorite place and will definitely come back.

Beautiful House
Our stay was amazing. The house was beautiful, great location. Jorge our concierge was so helpful. We had seven couples and the 7 suites were perfect for our stay. The house was very clean, Sylvia came in every morning to clean and did a wonderful job. Our full time chef prepared the best food we had while in Costa Rica. We would stay at this house every time we come to visit. We had no complaints. Everything was wonderful.
