Casa Sea Esta is a wonderful home for groups up to seven guests with its open floor plan, huge outdoor covered living space, wonderful ocean views, large private swimming pool, all nestled near the Costa Rican jungle.

Loved our stay
Our family stayed for a month and loved it! The house is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool was perfect for our 8 and 10 year old...they took their first swim around 6am and last swim around 8pm every night! Also, Christine and Tom (the property managers) are absolutely outstanding. This is a great home, I highly recommend it!

Forest Paradise
The property is surrounded by forest and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We awoke each morning to the sound of howler monkeys, and each evening the songs of toucans, Montezuma oropendolas, and other birds filled the air. Tom and Christine of Jaguar Property Management were very helpful and responsive from the first time we contacted them through our final checkout. (Thank you!) We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Pura Vida! The only item to note is that the toilet in the master bedroom is not really "en suite", but "in suite"; meaning, there is no door. :-)

Midst of nature
It’s a beautiful house in the quaint town of Ojochal!!! The house itself is well equipped for a family to move-in with their luggage to have a home away from home!! The hosts Tom and Christine are the best that comes in this industry. Even though we reached a little beyond the specified timing of 8pm they greeted us personally and extended the same courtesy when we had a few bumps before settling in for the 4 weeks. We will do the same property again in future when better and safer times prevail. The town itself has a quite a few selection of restaurants that cater to the varied tourists but since this was a working holiday we had no plans of going out of the property unless it was necessary other than the grocery. The concern for the ecosystem and the measures taken to protect the environment are commendable. Thanks again for making our stay safe and memorable during these testing times.

Beautiful place
Beautiful house with exceptional views. Kitchen well equipped for all our needs. Even had beach towels and beach chairs which came in very handy as well as a secured lock room to secure all our belongings. House was very clean and beds were very comfortable. The only issue we faced was late arrival. Jaguar Management clearly states not to arrive after 8pm and unforrunately we did. We travelled early morming from Canada and arrived at San Jose by 1:30pm. After clearing customs (1hour), picking up rental car (1hour), getting out of San Jose (45 min) and driving for 3.5+ hours and stopping for a quick bite to eat, we didnt make it by 8pm. Jaguar sent us some pictues of where to turn, plus we had their directions but still couldn't find the house after hours of driving around in the dark. We gave up at 1:30am and drove back to Uvita to find another place to sleep for the night. Luckily, we met someone who had a friend that owned a hostel. By 2:30am we were finally settled in for the night. A long day indeed. We were shown the way to the house the next morning. Word of caution, if you think you may arrive after 8pm then dont stay here your first night because its extremely hard to find by yourself in the dark. Teresa and Gerald Innisfil, Ontario

Amazing location, beautiful views, clean, loved the beach chairs! Private and very comfortable
We are never disappointed when we stay in Costa Rica especially when we are so well looked after by Tom and Christine. This is our first stay at Casa Sea Esta and it was marvelous! The view is the first thing we were amazed about when we arrived. Everything you would need is there - clean and well organized. We had absolutely no issues the entire time we were there. Tom and Christine even checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this villa to anyone! Susan and Bruce

Amazing.
Everything about this Ojochal home was perfect. My husband and I loved every moment. Warm pool, beauty view, immaculately clean, great kitchen for preparing meals but also close to many delicious restaurants and grocery shops. Citrus, Halyconia, Mosaic, Las Alturras were some of our favourites. Also short drive to Playa Tortuga and Playa Ballena. Don’t hesitate to book this great home! Super hosts Tom and Christine helped us with all our questions. Could not have been a better experience!

5 nights of beauty and tranquility
We had an awesome time! Tom and Christine were wonderful hosts from start to finish. They answered all the questions As we were planning our trip and Took care of any of our needs While we were there. The house was exactly as advertised. What a beautiful spot! Ojochal is within a short drive of great restaurants, tours and beaches. There are many stores where you can buy supplies to get you through the week. If you are coming From North America the costs for Food is about the same. Some have mentioned the drive up to Cass Sea esta as challenging. It is a bit bumpy and there are some steep hills but you get used to it pretty quickly and Tom guides you up the first time. We went up and down everyday at least twice and at nighttime with no issues. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the main highway from up the hill. Another thing to mention about driving. Driving around Costa Rica was a pleasure. You get to see the countryside and explore on your own. We never once felt unsafe. On a map the distance and seem far but if you are used to road trips in North America, most drives are pretty short. Our drive from SAN José to Ojochal took about 3 1/2 hours. We left around 7:30 am drove about 2 hours, stopped at Manuel Antonio for a tour and drove the rest of the way To Ojochal to arrive for check in around 4. The stop made the drive seem very short. If you come here you will have a great time!

Stay was great and villa was clean, inviting and well situated. Beautiful sunset views. Only issue to raise was with the gated security access which hopefully can be resolved for future guests by the estate management team… Despite this issue I would go back and recommend this villa without hesitation.
