About this property

Casa Ylang Ylang - Ocean View Villa with Pool

Casa Ylang Ylang is perched high above the blue Pacific, offering splendid ocean and mountain vistas. You will enjoy delightful daytime sea breezes and cooling nighttiime mountain breezes.
Awaken to toucans raiding the papaya and banana trees. Parrots, hummingbirds, and other wildlife we haven’t totally identified, thrive in the lush tropical foliage. Even scarlet macaws are sighted. ETC.
Please see pictures (I'm not great on providing narrative) and amenity list. The villa is fully equipped and ready to be lived in - please enjoy the magic that is Costa Rica.
Your stay includes free access to the Happy House.

Please note the map placement is incorrect. The house is located on the "easy side" of Ojochal, less than 3 km off the coastal highway (by car) and a half mile from the coast/beach (as the bird flies, i.e., not a walkable path). To save money, please send an inquiry rather than a reservation request.

Several excellent restaurants are located in and around Ojochal, as well as all desired creature comforts. Nearby beaches include lovely Playa Tortuga (within view), Playa Ventanas (with 5 caves), Uvita’s Whale’s Tail, and the Marina Ballena National Park. Within 90 minutes driving are Manuel Antonio (most visited National Park in CR), Dominical (great surfing) and the entire Osa Peninsula experience. Enjoy zip line canopy tours, whale/ dolphin watching, bird watching, kayaking, surfing, horseback riding, sports fishing, etc., or simply cocktails on a choice of verandas as the sun drops below the horizon fifty miles away.

Ojochal de Osa is located along the Costanera Highway 30 minutes north of Palmar Sur Airport. (daily 35 minute flights from San Jose via Naturair or Sansa.) If driving from San Jose, the picturesque trip takes 3 ½ hours.

Costa Rica Mindset:
Yes, there are bugs in CR- but these are kept under control by the breezes and the Gecko patrol. Should you happen to be bothered by bugs/geckos, you might wish to consider an alternative destination.
Driving is not recommended after dark (5:30). Unless your flight arrives in the morning, we suggest you spend your first CR night in the central valley, or along the way.

Warning: You may find yourselves setting an alarm to arise at dawn each day just to absorb ALL of the constant beauty around the remarkable surroundings of this gracious Mediterranean villa. And if you encounter particular problems during your stay, a resourceful English speaking manager resides locally just a phone call away.

wonderful stay at casa ylang ylang.
My family and I had a lovely stay at casa ylang ylang. My kids loved the pool which we used every day except for one day of our two week stay. House is on older side so it can use some touch ups, however, it does have its charm and lots of character. The kitchen is great, we did a lot of cooking and used the grill as well. The views were amazing, sunset was beautiful to see. It’s very hot weather, could use more fans. But nights did get a bit cooler so you could get a nice rest. And pool was refreshing. Like it describes yes many bugs, it was interesting to see a new one every other day but they mind their own and yes you are in Costa Rica rich in greens and life. Gecko kept us company here and there, my youngest actually looked forward to spotting them around the house. Having washer/dryer was great, after constantly going to beach/pool/exploring it was so helpful. Definitely best to have four by four, the house is up there but again great great views! Close enough to beaches and yet nice to be in a more private residential area. Some construction nearby but I have to say, first I woke up with sounds of the many birds which is what I imagined Costa Rica would be so the construction actually was not too bad. Kenny was very nice, helpful and available when we reached out a couple of times. Thanks Kenny!! Overall the house was a wonderful part of our vacation, we very much enjoyed it!!

Fancy digs
Pros: Nice place, well stocked kitchen, very comfortable, great pool, amazing birdwatching! Ken the property manager was helpful and communicative; Playa Ventanas. Cons: surprise $100 key deposit; landscapers weedwacking all day on the property above; was advertised as having a dvd player and movies, and the player was broken; the soda next to the super - steer clear.

Gorgeous views
Both the owner and property manager are responsive and nice. Cute property, expansive views. Has everything you need. The pool is long enough to swim. Nice straight shot on the road, 4x4 required. We didn't get to see a lot of birds, they fly by but don't seem to land close. The town itself is cute and out of the way. We enjoyed our stay!
