Pura Vida

Villa Cielo Mar is a little bit of heaven! The views from all 3 levels are amazing. Carol and Scott's house is one of three townhouses but we had total privacy for the 11 days we were there. It was so nice to have the pool and Jacuzzi to ourselves. The house was in walking distance to 2 beaches, Playa Potrero which wasn't a very nice beach and Playa Penca which was fabulous. Also a short drive to Playa Danta, our favorite. We saw and heard many howlers around the house and at Danta. We were also in walking distance to a few restaurants.......all very good. There are several small markets close by for food, cervezas, vino, etc. In addition, a short drive away there are some larger markets. Claudia was helpful in arranging our snorkeling trip and massages at home. Jenny has magic hands and I only wish we could have had a massage every day! My husband and I have rented vacation homes/condos in several countries but Carol and Scott have topped them all. You will get a workout....there are 3 levels. Of course something was always forgotten so it was up and down the stairs.

We arrived late afternoon and Carol and Scott were waiting to greet us. First, let me speak about Carol and Scott. What fabulous people. They were always available, provided outstanding service, guidance and direction. I really can't say enough about them.

The Villa was well located and had spectacular views morning and evening. I thoroughly enjoys sitting on the main balcony in late afternoon. The breezes were wonderful. The Villa had all the requirements to make meals and the BBQ was great for evening meals. We loved that we could walk to many local restaurants. Las Bris as was our favorite - try the marguerita!! Its wonderful. We has pizza several times from Marco Polo's. It was really good! Our favorite beach was flamingo - well worth the 4 k drive.

We loved having the pool for the late afternoon swims.

Great vacation, great hosts, great location.

La estancia en este dulce lugar es increíble. Maravilloso vistaje al amanecer y anochecer, se puede contemplar lo lindo que se ve el paisaje. Cerquisimamente a diferentes playas, restaurantes, y tiendas de conveniencia (tan cerca que uno puede caminar). Los dueños son fenomenales, sinceros y carismáticos. Fue nuestra primera vez en Costa Rica y fue súper. Definitivamente volvería a quedarme en este fantástico hogar. El hogar tambien tiene una piscina y jacuzi para poder disfrutar de unos traguitos en el jacuzi o después de un chapuzón en la piscina.

The Perfect Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
This was the perfect getaway. My husband and I rarely get away for what I call a tropical vacation. And when we do, we hope that it's going to be the perfect get away for us to relax and have fun. We traveled to Costa Rica with good friends and found that the three story condo was the perfect getaway. It really was ideal for 2 couples or a family of 4 or 5. Each level had a view that was amazing. I always looked forward to early mornings with coffee or evenings having cocktails sitting on the deck. The pictures we took of the sunsets just don't do it justice. Words or pictures can't describe how pretty they really are. Although, we did a fair amount of cooking (the house was totally equipped), we went out to eat a great deal as there were several awesome restaurants within walking distance. And the people there were so friendly and helpful. I really miss the fresh fish, fruits and vegetables! The beach is only a 5 minute walk. Our experience there was authentic as the condo was not located within a resort, but in a small community. Carol and Scott were incredible and were a wealth of information. I highly recommend it!!

We stayed in this amazing 3 story villa for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. The amenities and the views of the ocean from both balconies were amazing. The owners were very helpful and answered every one of our questions. The villa is conveniently located very close to the beach, various restaurants and food shops.

We had a great time and will be coming back very soon!
