Best house ever!!!    Dec 17,2021

  •         

I cannot say better things about this property! We had a group of 7 couples for a week at this house. Every couple had their own bedroom with a closet and own bathroom. Almost every room has their own balcony as well. Jorge (the house manager) was absolutely amazing. He set up a private catamaran cruise for us, deep sea fishing for the boys, and massages for the girls. He made the trip so much easier to plan. The house comes with a private chef. We were hesitant at first, thinking it would be extremely expensive. When he cooked for us our 3rd night there and we saw the grocery bill and his service fee we immediately emailed Jorge to book him for more meals. The best meals we had the entire trip were hands down from the chef. Our entire group wants to return to this house in the future. We had multiple pool days at the house cause we didn’t want to leave the property because of how nice it was! The owner, Mark, swung by on our last night to meet us and say thank you. He was so sweet, came by to see us leave and dropped off fresh baked cookies. Best vacation ever

A wonderful week    Dec 17,2021

  •         

Our group of 10 completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much to Mark, the owner, for dropping by to meet us. That was a nice surprise. Jorge, your concierge service was awesome, thank you so much for arranging everything and taking care of the few house items that came up. No impact to our trip at all. Germaine, everyone already misses your cooking! But, a few pounds to work off from all that great food, so maybe it's good we are back to our boring food! Silvia, thank you for keeping the place spotless and providing all the clean beach towels ready to go each day. Much appreciated. Francisco, so happy you were able to come back and bartend our birthday celebration. Everyone loved it. The level of concern and support was really incredible and beyond anything I have experienced at a vacation rental. This was our third trip to CR and this location and the experience was the best, and the other two trips were pretty good already! A person in our group made a highlight video of our week and as we show it to our friends and family, they all want a link to this place. So, Mark probably more guests coming your way! Puda Vida!!!

Post wedding fun    Dec 17,2021

  •         

Our group of ten had a wonderful time at Vista Oceana. After my daughter’s wedding in Montezuma we traveled to Manual Antonio for some down time. We utilized the pre arrival grocery service and had a chef prepare our dinner the first night. The service and food were amazing and the cost was less than an equivalent meal at a restaurant. Everyone had private space. Having en-suite bathrooms with each bedroom was the best. The kitchen was completely equipped and easy to use. He pool was fresh and clean and the outdoor space was perfect for meals and gathering. A group of little monkeys were frequent and entertaining guest. Some of the group did canyoning, parasailing , explored the Nation Park and spent a day at the beach all close and convenient to the house. A great restaurant is just at the end of the drive. We have rented many houses but this one was the best.

Beautiful place to stay and be with family    Dec 17,2021

  •         

We all loved this house. It is inviting and a great place to be with family. There was room for everyone to have their own space and privacy with a little extra. The monkeys, sloths, toucans were so awesome and provided much entertainment for our group. If there is one this I was disappointed with it was the access to the beach. It required walking down a very treacherous road that was very busy and as people not used to walking down a busy road we did not do this well. In fact, my husband fell off the enbankment and broke his ankle trying to go to the beach. After that, we took public transportation to the beach and to shopping.

A Perfect Stay for Our Group of 12!    Dec 17,2021

  •         

This home was absolutely perfect for our group of 6 couples. Our 10-day stay rates 11 on a scale of 10! The property reflects where and when it was built, and we loved its unique character. (The photos represent it accurately.) It is very well maintained, immaculately clean, and Mark, the owner, is constantly improving it, which shows his love of hosting. Booking with Mark is much more than a typical short-term house rental. It's more like a small, private resort hotel. The bedrooms are spacious, air-conditioned, and we all slept very well in comfortable beds. There were fantastic views of the ocean all throughout the house, and the beautiful landscaping is clearly dedicated to the conservation of the environment and wildlife. We enjoyed the monkeys, toucans, macaws, butterflies, and the sloth that visited us. We spent a lot of time in the small but perfectly maintained pool, on the pool deck, and also on the upper deck (with its stellar views of the ocean and into the trees and a constant light breeze.) Jorge, our concierge, was first-rate, very responsive and helpful. He was easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions quickly, and he offered lots of services and activities that we took advantage of. We loved our National Park tour guide, Henry, and appreciated him pointing out so much that we would have otherwise completely missed. Ambar and her team created a wonderful spa day at the house for us. And our Chef Germai was fabulous! We had him cook 6 dinners for us and we completely enjoyed every meal. The home was tidied up for us nearly every morning by the housekeeper and the pool guy, which really helped us enjoy our vacation. October is a low tourist season, and also the rainiest time of year for the Quepos area, but I cannot imagine any other time of year as perfect as it was for us. The rain never spoiled our plans, it cooled the air, and it also created rainbows and fantastic sunsets. In my opinion, October is the best time to go. Everyone in our group had a wonderful, memorable time, and the home was the key to creating that experience. There are lots of choices of places to stay in Quepos, but we will most certainly choose Mark's Casa Vista Oceana again when we return.

Best house ever!    Dec 17,2021

  •         

We had an incredible experience from before the trip ever began, during our pre-planning stage-working with Jorge our Concierge. He answered every question! The house was perfect, gorgeous location and full of wildlife. The staff: housekeeper Sylvia kept the home totally spotless, Oscar kept the outside and pool in perfect condition, and Germai, our Chef spoiled us all with his delicious meals! Mark-you have a gorgeous home and are a real sweetheart. Thanks to all of you for making my 70th birthday celebration unforgettable ??
