Bahia Pez Vela Resort

8/10 Good

"My family enjoyed our stay at the property. I would recommend having a car, as the property is pretty secluded and nothing is near by to walk to. The restaurant is nice but a bit pricey."

Spectacular View Luxury Villa, Overlooking Ocean at Bahia Pez Vela Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Gwendolyn’s place is amazing. It was immaculate and well stocked. She is eager to answer questions, friendly and readily available when needed (via the VRBO messaging). The property managers (Jacki and Caesar) are also very friendly and responsive. It is directly next to the property’s upper infinity pool, but it felt like our own private pool because we only saw people there one time in our 6 days. Gwen has beach towels for you and even a couple of beach chairs if you need them. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, a good many spices and a coffee maker (with filters). You will need to buy extra paper towels and bring laundry detergent/dryer sheets.The neighborhood has a lovely private beach with paddle boarding and snorkeling gear onsite. It is about a five minute walk from the house to the beach, but I definitely recommend driving your vehicle because the hill is very steep. There is parking for guests, but you will need to arrive early enough to grab a spot. You can also get a massage at the beach or lounge in one of the three infinity pools, while enjoying lunch from the Soluna restaurant. The location of the house is very convenient to a ton of activities. La Leona waterfall is 1.5 hours (ask for Brandon if you go and tell him the Pittmans said hi), Palo Verde riverboat cruise is less than two hours, Diamonte Wildlife Park is less than an hour. We also beach hopped a couple of days. We will definitely return to this house. Amazing in every way!"

Luxurious private villa with breathtaking views & beautiful resort amenities

10/10 Excellent

"Roxi's place was a great place to relax after our adventure in the rain forest. The rental was well stocked with everything we needed. The views from the patios were wonderful. We spent most of our time at the beach and pool at the bottom of the resort. It was off season and there were no crowds which we really valued. The pool, bar and restaurant were all clean and easily accessible once we drove down the hill. The staff were courteous and helpful. The ocean was very clean and super comfortable to swim and float in. We booked 1 excursion which was 5-6 hour trip on a boat (fishing, snorkeling and lunch on the beach). The resort staff were great at helping us get this booked before we even arrived. Roxi was very helpful and responded immediately on every message we sent. I highly recommend Roxi's place and this resort.Other travelers should be aware, You will really need a car to get down to the beach. The hill is long and steep and you won't want to walk up from the beach."

3 BD/ 3 BR Luxury Villa w/ Pool, Walk to Beach, Near Downtown Coco!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful villa! Clean and beautifully decorated. It was just a few minutes walk from Ocotal beach. Stocked kitchen supplies, beach towels, and beach chairs, everything you need. Grill by pool was fun to use. Our party of 6 was very comfortable here. Father Rooster is within walking distance and made our whole trip very special. Amazing staff and delicious food. Not the best neighborhood but property was very safe. It is notable that the Coco Beach Club is not accessible as per advertised in this properties listing. This was a specific reason we chose the property and it was disappointing to be told “we don’t recommend you go there” AFTER we purchased, planned our trip, and arrived at the property.Owners family was very prompt in communicating, I had to nudge the local contact to get basics like confirmation of airport pickup, check-in instructions, and even a physical address/location of the property. Basics where I was told “you have this” and I didn’t not. Overall great property and I recommend."

New listing - featuring its very 1st review! ☀️Beach, pools & dining-steps away!

10/10 Excellent

"A very nicely appointed place. The pictures are accurate and the home checked all the boxes for us. Caroline, the owner was very responsive. The office staff is helpful and really nice! The food and drinks at the resort restaurant is good quality and tasty. Nothing much around besides the lovely location and property. It is good for people who want to relax and enjoy the beach and pool."

"Took a family vacation and loved our time here. Host and concierge were very responsive and helpful. Location was near a great clean beach, amenities of the house were as listed and all that we needed. Would definitely stay again."

Villa Cala N°11 - 23 Steps to the Pacific Ocean, Luxury Villa with Stunning View

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely spot and super helpful host and staff. This small resort feels more secluded than nearby options and is great for families. On-site restaurant is great and our (older) kids could hang out in the pool when they were done with dinner but"
