Great views and very quiet

If you’re looking for nice accommodations, a quiet area, and great views, this is the place. The pool was rarely used by other guests, the beach was clean, and the entire neighborhood was quiet. You are going to want a car if you want to be able to run to town or eat off-site. The on-site restaurant is very nice.

Paradise!

This was the perfect rental for a grandparents trip! I mean we were steps from the beach and pool and there were monkeys in the trees! The villa is spacious and well designed. Air conditioning, and well everything, worked perfectly. Yes, Cesar in hospitality, was very helpful. He was great! The food at Solana was very good. The resort and owners were both very helpful. We rent a lot, this unit it special and we’ll priced!

Slice of Paradise

Our family had a 10 day stay Jan 7-17th. Weather wasbeautiful. Home is steps from the beach. Master bedroomhas a balcony where we spent a lot of time watching howler monkeys and a wide variety of birds. We loved themultiple pools and ate many meals at the restaurant. The food was always fantastic. Snorkeling was not the best but awesome for body surfing. If you want nature and quiet, which is what we were looking for, this is your place. Would highly recommend.

Excellent 2nd visit

We enjoyed a longer stay on this return trip. The villa is comfortable in every way, and the nearby pool and restaurant were convenient and a perfect complement to relaxing on the patio and enjoying the ocean views beyond. We especially enjoyed the many birds in the area this yea.

The property and community were all gorgeous. Everything was as described and very relaxing. My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and it was perfect to unplug and relax. The host was very helpful and communicative as well as all of the staff we encountered throughout the community.

Unbelievable location!!!

What a trip! The villa is absolutely beautiful. Detail of property as listed on VRBO is 100% accurate. All communication with owner was easy and so responsive. Cesar at the office of Bahia Pez Vela was fantastic. Definitely use them to book excursions. The restaurant on the property was excellent. The food was fantastic! Also loved Father Rooster. Diamante excursion a must. First drive into the property is a little daunting but after the first time it is easy. Don’t leave anything on the terrace as raccoons are sooo smart. This property and Costa Rica far exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Family vacation to Costa Rica

Our family really enjoyed our stay at this villa. The place was clean, beds were comfortable and had all you needed for a great time. The beach is beautiful, and having it steps away from the villa was amazing. Working with the ownerJohn and staff at the complex (shout out to Cesar) was great. Cesar was amazing in coordinating the outings we chose. The location feels very remote, and that helps with keeping the beach less crowded. Due to the steep roadways at the complex, walking to nearby attractions or into town is not an option. We were able to use Uber to move around and all the excursions would pick us us at the door of our villa. This is a price to pay to have the feeling that the beach is yours. Overall I would highly recommend this place. Our family loved it and we hope to return to Costa Rica in the future.

Wonderful Family Trip

This property location is so beautiful. The ease of access to the beach and pool couldn’t be easier. The manager coordinated all of our excursions and they were all great experiences. Great snorkeling and beach time right on our beach each day. The only thing I wasn’t prepared for was the area surrounding the resort. It was much more rugged and less developed than I expected. Our family enjoyed the trip and the host was incredibly prompt and helpful in responding to any questions or needs that we had.

Wonderful stay at Bahia Pez Vela

The villa is a beautiful, well kept home just off the beach of a very pleasant cove. It is in a secure and semi-private complex around the cove (by law the beach is open to the public, but this was not a major issue) which is extremely well maintained with gracious and friendly staff. Included is an excellent restaurant open all day which overlooks the great swimming pools and the cove. The villa itself is well laid out; has a generous and totally equipped kitchen, nice dining and living room areas, lots of linens, a washer/dryer, TV's, great A/C, etc. The host provided excellent information ahead of time. We did have some difficulty finding it in the dark, but no issues after that. Coco nearby has good groceries, restaurants and shopping. We stayed 16 days and were sad to leave. Our family enjoyed lots of quiet time together on site as well as scuba diving, snorkeling in the cove, and local activities which can be reserved through the office. We would stay here again and definitely recommend it.

Amazing location and wonderful home

My husband and I stayed here with our 3 young kids and had an absolutely amazing time. The location is stunning. We loved waking up to the beach just steps outside our door and then walking down to the water and looking at the howler monkeys in the trees. My kids played in the warm ocean and climbed on the rocks at low tide. When we weren't the beach we swam in the pools with the great views. We also enjoyed the restaurant on site for dinner a few nights and the food and service was delicious. The home is equipped with every thing you might need in the kitchen, bathrooms and they even had some beach toys my kids enjoyed. Definitely a special place.

Girls Getaway

This was an amazing villa for our girls getaway. Right on the beach, pool about 15 steps away, an excellent restaurant. We had a well equipped kitchen and had most of our meals in our villa. Ceasar and Jacky were excellent helping us to arrange transportation into town and booking our tours. We felt very pampered and have decided to return to this villa next year.

Great property, great view, great restaurant

Overall a great spot for my family. The ocean is warm and inviting, the three bedroom villa is perfect for a family (including a blender for pina collodas). The hotel manager is accessible and helpful in making suggestions for outings. Small niggling things....master bathroom doesn't have hot water in shower (other shower does), and the back bedroom no wifi access. However, these truly are small things. The hotel restaurant is a bit expensive, however, you get a truly excellent meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Wait times a bit lengthy, but hey, what's the rush?! The check in was super smooth. Uber is available to get to town if you don't rent a car. Worth the trip!

Paradise!

Villa #3 was better than advertised! We were spoiled in our own little bay of paradise for our first trip to Costa Rica! Communication with John and Cesar was friendly, prompt and thorough. The villa's location was just what we wanted for our week of sun and relaxation. We enjoyed having easy access to Soluna, the restaurant/bar on the property, and took a walk to Father Roosters on the beautiful Playa Ocotal one day as well. There are many markets for groceries in both Ocotal and Coco. We did not have a car but Cesar set us up with drivers for a few trips and Uber was easy and very accessible as well. The villa was spotless and well equipped for dining in.The black sand beach so soft. The water delightful. Many beautiful birds and we even had a couple days of howler monkey views! Our only complaint was that we didn't book a longer stay, so we will be back! Thank you!

Outstanding stay at beautiful Bahia Pez Vela

This was our first visit to Costa Rica and we feel very fortunate to have selected such a great property. The unit is well stocked and the complex is situated on a great beach. We booked the Heliconias Waterfall Tour and the snorkel sail through Caesar at BPV and we also drove to Ortega and did the river tour with Palo Verde River Tours. All tours were great and if you do the river tour select the lunch option. Make sure to visit Father Rooster nearby. We also recommend Mar Azul in Coco and Roberto’s in Hermosa. Overall a great stay, highly recommended!

Perfect Home Base

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the stunning beachfront villa. The kitchen is well equipped although we frequently opted for the community restaurant because it delicious and convenient after a long day of adventuring. We used the concierge to book three excursions and found the team to be very helpful. Being picked up from the villa or on the beach off the patio was very nice and allowed us to maximize our time. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip! A beautiful place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jane & John

Home base for our family is Ontario, Canada. We love to travel and take the opportunity to escape the Canadian winter whenever we can. We have been coming to Costa Rica for a number of years, like many others we've fallen in love with the diverse and beautiful landscape, wonderfully warm climate and above all its genuinely friendly and welcoming people.

We would love to welcome you to our home and experience all that beautiful Costa Rica has to offer.

Jane & John

Why they chose this property

We have been staying at Bahia Pez Vela for a number of years and made the decision to purchase our villa in 2017. One prerequisite for our family was that any home we purchased had to be on the beach. Bahia Pez Vela is a secure community of only 40 homes. It offers all the amenities you need for a quiet relaxing stay but is close enough to take advantage of everything Costa Rica has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Without a doubt, our location on the beach sets us apart. Because of its strict environmental laws, there are few homes in Costa Rica that offer beachfront living. From our terrace to the sand is only 50 steps. The views over the beach and ocean are spectacular!
