Family Vacation

We had my family of 13 stay here and it was very comfortable. We all loved having the monkeys visit us daily. We also saw toucans and parrots. The house was cleaned every day as was the outside pool area and we also took advantage of the laundry service. Having a chef prepare meals for us was great and I highly recommend. Overall a wonderful stay and great location. So happy we chose this house.

Fabulous Manuel Antonio accommodations and location.

The house was perfect for our group. Everyone was astonished at the wildlife that visited our back door (monkeys, iguanas, sloths, toucans, hummingbirds, macaws, agouti…). The close beach access, bus route and restaurants made the location so convenient! The property and staff were first class! We would highly recommend this vrbo!

Fantastic property!

Our family of 15 spent the week at this beautiful house and loved everything about it! It was nice to have room to spread out and the rooms were very spacious. Jorge was AMAZING helping organize our week for us (excursions, transportation, chefs, etc.) We all enjoyed all the wildlife especially the white faced monkeys that visited every morning and evening. There are plenty of restaurants close by to choose from but I would encourage you to hire the chefs at least several times as they made wonderful meals at a very reasonable price. We stayed another week in Guanacaste and I have to say if I had it all to do over again we would have spent another week at this beautiful home!

Outstanding Concierge Jorge & housekeeper Silvia. Mark, the owner, surprised us with an amazing home made dessert. Recommend booking chef Germain two nights minimum.

Found paradise in Costa Rica

Wow, where to begin in describing this beautiful villa and having the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime. This villa is stunning-tastefully decorated, spacious, and luxurious. The location was perfect! Beautiful rain forest/ocean views from the balconies. Every morning we were awakened by howler monkeys calling out from nearby trees, and we saw so many beautiful tropical birds. Mark is an exceptional host and it was such a pleasure meeting him! You can tell he really cares about his villa and providing his guest with the best service possible. His staff is amazing! Jorge was invaluable in helping me plan the trip. He was on top of everything and responded really fast! It was a great pleasure meeting him as well. What an incredible man he is!

Best rental property we’ve ever booked

What an amazing week that we had at this beautiful home. This house is perfect in every way, and much better than the photos in person if you can imagine that. The owner and the entire staff are amazing, attentive and so great to work with. I recommend this home to anyone traveling an a group. It’s so spacious and well appointed. Jorge, the house manager and concierge, took care of every detail and booked our cars, chef dinners and excursions. Sylvia and Rodolfo made sure the home was perfect every day. Marc, the owner, brought us fruit and amazing fresh baked cookies. We had so much fun having the wildlife visits daily. We saw 3 types of monkeys, deer, sloths, mini capybaras, and macaws from the home. It was truly a magical week, and we’re so sad to leave.

Paradise Found

5-Star Review for Vista OceanaOur stay at Vista Oceana was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the experience was elevated by the exceptional service from Jorge, the concierge, and the entire staff was wonderful. Jorge the concierge went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect—whether it was arranging transportation, recommending local gems, or answering our every question with a smile.The property itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking ocean views that made every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. The house is impeccably maintained, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities you could need for a luxurious getaway.One of the highlights of our trip was the daily visits from the playful monkeys that added a unique charm to the experience. It was such a joy to watch them swinging through the trees right outside the property!Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, soaking in the views, or exploring the local area, Vista Oceana is truly a slice of paradise. We can’t recommend it highly enough and are already dreaming of our return visit!

Incredible Stay at Casa Vista Oceana

5 star property, 5 star location, 5 star concierge, 5 star chef, 5 star housekeeper and groundskeeper. This place was all that's advertised and more. I honestly can't think of one thing our group could have asked for - except an additional week stay! Jorge, the concierge was incredible - helped us with all arrangements before and during our stay. Chef Germaine made delicious dinners for us multiple nights - highly recommend using him frequently. Mark, the owner, had fresh baked cookies and an assortment of fruit waiting for us on arrival, a very nice touch. We had a group of 7, two couples and three teens. Gave us more than enough room to spread out as well as nice spaces to get together for meals and pool time. Can't express enough how perfect the location is - private, quiet, safe, beautiful views, visits from monkeys, toucans, etc daily. Look no further for the best property in Manuel Antonio, this is it!

Family Time

Vista Oceana was perfect for our extended family group of eight adults and eight children ages five to fifteen. The lovely villa is spacious and suited to hosting a group. The setting with an ocean view and plants is beautiful. We spent hours in the pool and were able to see three types of monkeys and many birds from the patio. Slyvia, the housekeeper quietly kept our rooms clean and the pool guy maintained the pool daily in the early hours. The location is very convenient to the beach, restaurants, stores and the public bus. Jorge, the concierge, made trip planning very easy. He provided information and coordinated everything. We chose several adventures: catamaran, Campesines waterfall, zipline and a mangrove tour. Chef Germaine made four delicious dinners for us. We would all love to go back for another visit!
