About this property

The house is a retreat away from the fast paced lives we live. The ocean views are endless. The green trees and wildlife are beautiful. The people are friendly and well educated. Most locals speak a little English. The surf is fun an uncrowded. Our home is on a bluff. We are about a 7 minute walk to a white sand beach called Playa Blanca. The walk back from the beach is very steep up the hill. We drive to the parking lot for the beach and park on the side of the road. It is a two minute drive. The house is located in a very safe resort of Punta Leona. Inside the resort, there are 3 restaurants, a small convenience store, and other activities. You do need to purchase a resort wristband to use their facilities. We are about 25 minutes from Jaco. We have a jacuzzi but it only gets warm.

Paradise

The pictures on VRBO do not do it justice. The ocean views were incredible, the wildlife was abundant. From the house we saw macaws, toucans, iguanas and a monkey. The top pool was fun for laying around and catching some rays. The hot tub was perfect after a day out adventuring or at the beach. The lap pool was perfect for swimming and lounging when it got very hot. The beds were very comfortable. Two sets of bedrooms were set up with a shared bath between, plus a master bedroom with it’s own bath. Another half bath rounded out that floor. The kitchen, living room bar had gorgeous views from all the windows. There is also a half bath off the kitchen. It is a great living space. Plenty of outside space too on the patio that wraps around. The rocking chairs and a cup of coffee was a great way to start the day. People who made our stay even better? The concierge Peter and his wife Lisa. They were prompt and courteous in all requests/inquiries. They met us upon arrival and showed us around the house. They also helped us set up tours. Dari cleaned the house for us, she was such a nice person and did an awesome job supplying us with fresh towels for the shower and beach/ making beds/ cleaning the whole house. Lastly we ordered a few times from Jimmy T the caterer and enjoyed the food. We are already looking forward to a return trip. Pura Vida

Great views as listed

Great house with incredible views. Large and spacious. Owner is easy to work with. Enjoyed the lap pool and other amenities. Great for large groups. We enjoyed the nature surrounding the house, including the monkeys. Well stocked house, great to entertain with friends or family. Seems to have a bug issue...nothing major, but could be treated. Also, bedrooms seem to have a humidity smell. I recommend having a car otherwise you will be bound to the house. Getting cabs to stores or restaurants have to be planned in advance as security is tighter than anything I have ever experienced. Walk to and from beach is terrible. Even the golf cart had challenge getting up the hill to the house. Too bad there are no amenities at the beach for house renters. The beach is fabulous and clean, but impossible to get food, drink or chairs. On one of the quieter days we were able to get chairs with a heavy tip to the worker. Otherwise, plan to sit on sand and pack your own cooler. I recommend booking your own activities rather than using concierge as they charge a premium. Jimmy T private chef was great and highly recommend. You can work with them directly. Drive from main entrance is very long as other reviews state. Plan ahead for everything.

Why they chose this property

I bought this vacation home because I wanted a place that was safe, fun for my family, and most important I wanted an ocean view home near the beach. I grew up by the beach and I will always live near the beach.

What makes this property unique

My favorite part of the house is sitting on the deck staring at the ocean. It is so peaceful and relaxing. I enjoy watching the birds flying by and sometimes the monkeys come by to visit. The house is only a few minutes walk to a beautiful white sand beach. I recommend to drive because the walk back up the hill is steep. It will take about 2 minutes to get to the beach by car. If you like the outdoors and adventure, this home is centrally located. When you are out and about, keep your eyes peeled because you never know what you might see like rare birds, monkeys, racoons, etc...
