Great Relaxing Getaway
So the family and I stayed at this location in March but my daughter got sick and my wife really didn’t get a chance to enjoy herself because she spend most of the time in the hospital San Jose hospital with her. I took it upon myself to surprise her for her birthday and it was just me and her this time. She really enjoyed herself so much at the house, and was relaxed. We spent every day outside just enjoying the views and listening to the birds in the morning, while eating breakfast and drinking coffee/tea. I did a lot of laps in the pool. The security guards were friendly and the neighborhood peaceful. We did 2 miles walks within the neighborhood, also every morning. And as the last, Jeffrey the host was outstanding and amazing. Communication is the key to success and we did a lot of that. It just makes life easier. Thank you,Jeffrey for being a great host and providing paradise for me and my wife.

Beautiful property amazing landscape, the pictures that you see online is just what you get when you stay here. The home has a resort appeal if you are just wanting to relax and enjoy the beautiful pool and the outdoor kitchen with a view of the hills and mountains around you. Nice to take morning walks in the neighborhood after a good yoga stretch and warm up.

Mistreatment of Landland (Jeff)
We booked for 4 nights but left after 1 and request a refund that we did not receive. When we arrived we called (Jeff) but he refused to allow us in the property because he was upset we were unable to keep constant communication. He spoke to us in such a demeaning way and scolded us for not having constant communication. He finally allows us to enter after I apologizing and explain our mobile issues when entering CR.

Amazing pool and outdoor space

Great place to stay near San Jose
We needed a place to stay near the San Jose airport at the end of our trip and this property was excellent. It was easy to find, well maintained and has a beautiful back yard. We enjoyed the pool and also the quick walk to the bar at the corner, which was one of the less expensive dinners we had in Costa Rica, but was really good. Our family of 7 was accommodated well and we enjoyed our stay. Jefferey was great with communication and keeping us informed. This is a great option for a place near San Jose.

Oasis Getaway
1st I want to say is thank you allowing me and my family to stay at this property. Upon arrival, our eyes was amazed by the beauty of this home. We acted like kids trying to pick dibs on the rooms. We all enjoyed the grounds, pool, area and felt so safe with having security right outside by the house. My son and I even made friends with the older security guard. I forgot his name but my son traded instagram with him. The host, Jeffrey was so great by responding to all my texts in a quickly manner. He kept me informed of who will be by the property, on what day and time and I really appreciated that. He advised me of a great place to eat, which where I took my son to celebrate his 26th birthday, amazing place. The area was so safe, that I took morning walks each day. Despite my daughter getting injured doing zip lining and having to spend a night in the hospital, the family and I had a great time. I will definitely book this home again on our next stay in Costa Rica.

Our stay was everything we expected it to be from booking + more! The fact that the whole villas was at our expense, was great! The photos are only giving a glimpse of this wonderful stay. Spacious and filled with everything you need. It’s far away from the busy city but an 1 hour 30 min taxi/Lyft ride away from Jaco, which was where the party is! Looking for peace and a wonderful back yard filled with beautiful scenery and an amazing pool.This is your villa! Mr. Jeffery was very responsive anytime we needed to ask a question! I’d recommend this stay to anyone, just have a rental car or be prepared for Lyft/taxis!

Wonderful Home to Enjoy Yourself.
I contacted the owner of this property, asking about a somewhat long stay, and he graciously accommodated our request. Upon arrival we saw that the home was as pictured beautifully landscaped in a lovely community. The owner met us at the house and toured us Around the property. He made us aware of a light system that you can turn on at night, which makes the backyard a magical place to sit and enjoy the evening. We swim in the pool daily. Enjoyed leisure time in the house and slept well in comfortable beds and enjoyed our trips into a Atenis, La Garita and the surrounding areas. This home is very well located to get you quickly to the coast, the mountains and all of the activities you would wish to do while visiting Costa Rica. We also enjoyed staying at the property swimming daily, and having lovely meals on the patio at night. Jeff stayed in touch with us throughout our stay always making sure we had what we needed and that we were enjoying our time. The community is quiet and the gate guards are very nice and helpful. I would suggest this home to anybody that wants to fully enjoy their time in Costa Rica. Thank you Jeff for allowing us the use of your beautiful home. We will be speaking with you again on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Luxury Accommodations
Staying at this house is like having your own private little resort. The pool and the grounds are gorgeous, and the interior is very nice as well, with comfortable beds and A/C. The location is quiet and suburban, not crowded or busy, but only 20min from the airport and 45min-1hr to downtown depending on traffic. It's also a good base to get to many waterfalls, volcanoes, or even the Pacific Coast in less than 90min. Communication with the property manager was great, extremely responsive, and he even was able to track down my wallet after I left it in a restaurant in Grecia... thank God.
