superb home Felt like

Review Submitted: May 28, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
My Husband and I and 8 other couples stayed at both Casa Exotica and Villa Oceana, (the home next to it-same owners). We had a fabulous time. We had seen pictures beforehand, but the homes were much grander in reality. They are impressively beautiful both inside and out. The decor is elegant and casual, a perfect mix for a vacation home. We loved the Pool, the Palapa, the terraces, and the spectacular views. There's everything you need in the home, and more. We played Ping Pong, Volleyball, swam, rested and explored a lot too. There are so many fun things to do all around: horses right there by the house, Zip lines, beaches..etc. We spend a wonderful day in Manuel Antonio, also shopped in Jaco, but whatever we did, it was always so nice to go back to an absolutely beautiful, spacious home. The soft breezes at the top of the Hill kept the homes much cooler and we hardly ever had to use the AC. Casa Exotica and Villa Oceana are very unique in style and both are perfectly suited for a fabulous Costa Rica vacation. We had such a great time, we sent our son there too for his honeymoon and hope to go back ourselves some day.

Owner's Response: Thanks Rick and Lynne. We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves so much at our home. We've had large "couples" retreat there ourselves with friends, it is a blast.

Do come back!

Christmas 2011 at Casa Exotica

Review Submitted: January 5, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
The house was very nice and exactly as described, was clean, and the house and grounds were well maintained. It is a little too far from the ocean to walk there, but is a very easy drive. We had six people staying there and all were very comfortable. The property manager was very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and to address any problems we had (mostly minor issues with getting internet and phone to work). The only negative thing about the propery is that the Del Pacifico development itself is about 80% unfinished and vacant, so there is no on-site retail or other amenities, and the drive to the house is over a long gravel road past a numbe of unfinished houses. But otherwise a very nice place to stay and we enjoyed it very much.
Owner's Response: I am glad you enjoyed the house and the surroundings and that the manager was able to assist you as well. We are looking forward to the day Del Pacifico finishes the Golf course and development, unfornutately the economy crashed just after they started, still it is such a beautiful location with extraordinary views and peaceful feeling. The nearest grocery store as just minutes away (4 miles). I am glad you got to relax and enjoy Pura Vida!

Casa Exotica a unforgetable house!

Review Submitted: August 23, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Casa Exotica what a perfect name for Casa Exotica!
Our family of 3 and our friends spend 9 days at Casa Exotica this August and will keep such good memories of our staying there!
The house is by it self a vacation from the rest of the world. weather you are looking for quietness, beauty, extravagance or simply a enchanting get away , Casa Exotica will definitely charm you and stimulate sense of wellness and dream. The harmony and festival of colors will put you at ease in no time. From the different balconies ,the majestic views will embrace your curiosity and the richness of the fabulous landscaping is purely a enchantment for the pleasure of the eyes. A fabulous sense of wellness and serenity will relax you and make you feel like you are on vacation. After a swim in the beautiful blue bottom pool, it is a delight to relax or read a book in the hammock under the palapas or just let your self go for a nap gently rocked by the sounds of the cicadas or the roaring of the ocean.. Start or finish your day at the spectacular nearby black sand beach will set you up at the utmost well being joy of life.
Casa Exotica is spacious ,elegant, and beautiful. The kitchen is fit for a Chef and the Bathroom will satisfied any one who needs to be pampered.
Everyone could be happy at Casa Exotica. Thank you for sharing your house with us, it is truely a peace of Paradise!

Costa Rica, a wonderful tropical country, perfect for sight seeing and vacationing, and what better place to stay in than a vacation house like Casa Exotica!
When I first stepped into this house, I knew my stay was going to be an enjoyable one. It had everything I could hope for, with wide open spaces, lovely furnishings, comfortable beds, balconies over looking beautiful views. The backyard is a swell place framed by the rainforest, including a tiled pool, beautiful plants, and sports facilities. Friendly animals visitors are often spotted, with colorful birds, gorgeous butterflies and neat lizards. The sounds of cicadas, birds, the roar of the not too distant ocean through out the day are comforting. I truly enjoyed my stay there. ~ Nathalie Aiello

Green Parrots and Tasteful Tropical Living

Review Submitted: January 22, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
My family spent a week at Villa Oceana. The home is gorgeous and well stocked - the kitchen has everything you need to cook. The decorations are good quality and so are building materials - hard wood floors, nice stucco, tiles, etc. You can tell the owners spend time here themselves; they didn't use cheap throw away furniture.

The outdoor areas are all pristine. Wonderful landscaping and a stylish pool. The outdoor table is covered by a thatched roof and is perfect for drinks and meals. Nearly all the bedrooms have great decks. We also loved the two roof decks. Perfect for my morning yoga practice and viewing the green parrots!

We were a group of 8 and there was plenty of room. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. We felt very secure. All the keys and lock pads worked well as did the safe. There was an on duty security guard on our road at all times.

The Del Pacifico property (development Villa Oceana is located within) is very much "under construction". The welcome center and front gate with guard are very nice and well staffed. They have good computers with fast internet connections.

There are about 4 completed estates/villas on the top of the hill, one of them being Villa Oceana. That's it. The rest of the property is in various stages of construction. We didn't mind this at all, but you definitely need rental cars and to be independent. There are no facilities, shops, restaurants, or entertainment on site. I recommend renting a cell phone with the rental cars.

We had help from the maintenance and cleaning staff. They were great, efficient. The property owners were easy to work with as well, in terms of setting up the rental contract and payment.

The beaches closest to Villa Oceana are black sand and undeveloped. Absolutely spectacular and never crowded. There were very strong rip currents and waves the whole week (late December). We spent time in Jaco, Queopos & Manual Antonio Park. Tons of adventure activities - zip lines, rafting, ATVs, horseback riding, surfing.

Amazing property for independent travellers who don't rely on a resort for the amenities and convenience. You'll have way more fun creating your own Pura Vida experience here!

Amazing home in an amazing location

Review Submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The home itself is outstanding! It is in a great location with wonderful views and ambiance. While the location, construction, design and maintenance are as expected in a home of this classification and price range many of the details fall bellow the standard.

Not having a phone or high speed internet is a serious drawback and would probably keep us from returning to an otherwise nice house.

The living room furniture looks nice and shows well but is in fact very uncomfortable. The synthetic fabric and sequins do not feel good. The straight back metal sofa is not made for lounging. The dining room table and outdoor facilities are excellent.

My son has food restrictions so we had to use the kitchen. It is fairly well equipped. The knives are all dull however and there is no tools to sharpen them making food preparation very dificult. Gary & Kelly
