Lush greenery, tranquility and serenity are yours when you are here. Cool down in the infinity pool, or relax in one of the hammocks by the poolside!

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Mal Pais, Costa Rica

Malpais: Mal País is best known for its panoramic sunsets, natural beauty and close proximity to the Cabo Blanco reserve, but above all for its optimal conditions for the practice of the sport of surfing. There are also many other tourist excursions awaiting you to enjoy during your stay here, among them being horseback riding, sport fishing, guided tours into the dry tropical forest, and marine tours via snorkeling, scuba diving or simply taking in the view by boat.

Perfect for....: Our house was custom built from the ground up, as our primary home for the past 2 years. Just under 3500sqft of jungle paradise including an Infinity Edge pool cascading into the jungle with ample outdoor covered 'ranchos' to shield you from the sun while enjoying the outdoors. We also have an incredible indoor setting of 22ft ceilings, rock walls and a commercial quality kitchen. 40' plasma TV, 2 master bedrooms with private en suite full bathrooms. Wireless Internet in both the main house and guest house remain connected to the the world, from deep within the jungle! Check with us before you arrive so we can help you arrange any tours or transportation you might need *quads, horseback tours, fishing tours, surf lessons etc* Malpais is an amazing place for a family vacation or a couples getaway. We built this house to live in for ourselves, so we know you will enjoy it!

Lighten your load with kids...: House is child-friendly, please let us know if you are in need of a high chair, pack and play, stroller or any child/baby needs. We have a little one of our own, and know how much luggage can be involved with any vacation. Let us know ahead of time, and we can have everything ready for you so you don't have to bring any extras! Costa Ricans love children as you will soon find out if you are traveling with a young family. Everyone is welcome! Daily maid service, pool and property maintenance and all amenities needed for your comfort are provided as well (bottled water, towels, linens etc).

Other Activities: sport fishing, eco tours

Third World Issues

Zipline Mama Texas
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The property was beautifully designed and lushly landscaped. Everything was as described except just 3 bathrooms. The daily maid and security/groundskeeper were very efficient.

We did experience electrical problems that even the house manager could not address, but we got used to the drill after a few days. For example, you could not run the dryer and the A/Cs at the same time, nor the oven with either one of those.

The house manager and his wife, who own and reside in a nearby hotel, could not have been more helpful in addressing maintenance isses, arranging transport for us, and making restaurant/entertainment recs and reservations. They were indispensable!

They arranged surf lessons, horseback riding, zipline canopy tour, and daytrip to nearby Montezuma, plus rented our ATV that we used for the entire stay without a car. We did take a number of taxis.

Malpais is much more of a remote spot than we realized, but we loved it. Lots of young surfing backpackers everywhere. All in all, we enjoyed the house thoroughly and had 12 people staying there.

Almost great

JustinC Salt Lake City, UT
Review Submitted: June 18, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The house is beautiful, the surroundings are amazing and the beaches are paradise. We had monkeys on the property every day. The proximity to beaches and restaurants is great. The commercial kitchen was very useful. The deck, pool and hammocks are wonderful. The grounds are well looked after. The internet connection was quick.

Unfortunately we didn't have quite the stay we were expecting.

First off, here on HomeAway the house says that it has four bathrooms. It does not, it has three. And just a FYI for future guests: only cold water in the guest house. Not a big deal for me but my wife ended up using one of the showers in the main house.

Second, the air conditioning. The two bedrooms in the main house each have an AC unit and the large front room / kitchen has a unit. The AC in the main bedroom worked decently, the second bedroom worked half the time and the main unit in the living space did not work at all. Tim informed me that AC units were supposed to be installed in the guest house, but that hasn't happened yet. So no AC in the guesthouse. We were told to get the fans going and it would be cool enough to sleep. For us it wasn't. The airflow in the guesthouse just wasn't enough to keep us cool. Two couples ended up sleeping in the main house living space because the airflow was slightly better (a bigger space). We were also told that sleeping with the doors open would help. But with no door screens and the various frogs, moths and gnats, I couldn't convince my wife to keep the doors open. Overall, sleeping was pretty uncomfortable.

Other quibbles would be the dirty fridge and no gas for the outdoor grill (although the range in the house is great). Also, the floor area is listed as 3500 sq feet. Not sure how that is calculated, but that seems rather high to me.

I really feel that the house could be great. If you only have two couples, the main house would be a good stay. The AC and bathroom situation made the house pretty uncomfortable for us (7 people), especially compared to the other house we stayed in Dominical.

Review Submitted: June 17, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
You know this could be a really cool rental but it just lacked a few things to really make it nice. We went to a house in Dominical for the same price after this and it blew this away in service.

Good Things
- Nice Layout
- Proximity to beach
- Amenities

Bad Things
- No A/C. They said they had it when we booked it but they were all broke. (Pretty tough when we had a pregnant lady)
- They actually live there and leave when they rent it. (rotten food in fridge, landscaper lives in guest house)
- Showers are either Scalding or Freezing you choose.
- Guest house bathroom is outside. (Hope you like monkeys)
- Security seemed sketchy.
- Fans in bedrooms only stay on if the lights are on. (No A/C, No Fans = HOT)

Like I said we compared this to other house we've rented and it seems like they need to improve on professionalism. When they do that it should be great.
