Amazing house and staff !! Loved the location ! Beautiful sunset views! Mark even brought us cookies and cake ! He also gave us a tour of his wonderful farm ! Loved every minute and plan to return soon !
We had such an amazing stay! The house and the view are breathtaking. The location is perfect. We were able to walk to the beach and to many different restaurants. Our family loved the birds and monkeys that visited us! The owner and concierge were so welcoming! They did an amazing job to make our vacation unforgettable! Our family did not want to leave! Thank you Mark for everything! We will definitely be back!
A wonderful house in a great location with amazing views. Everything about the property is great. The staff was incredible as well. Jorge, the concierge, was extremely helpful with everything we needed. The cleaning/property maintenance crew was top notch, and the chef service was amazing. Mark, the property owner, was very attentive to our needs as well, and we couldn't have asked for a better option for our family vacation.
We had a wonderful stay full of family fun! It’s a beautiful property with some much to do near Manuel Antonio. Jorge did an excellent job coordinating our excursions and we had delicious meals cooked by Germaine. Definitely recommend!
Had a wonderful time at the house. The host was fantastic, the concierge was unbelievably helpful and attentive, and the house staff were friendly and did a fantastic job. All in all, it was great. It was even more beautiful than the photos, and the location could not be better
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!
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.
What an incredible home! Everything was wonderful. The property is exactly as advertised with local wildlife visiting every day. The location was incredible with easy access to the beach. Manuel Antonio national Park and many adventure activities. Jorge was incredible as a concierge and helped arrange everything we needed. Daily house staff was incredible to help with cleaning, laundry, and property maintenance. We loved everything about being here.
This house is a tropical dream! The staff is top notch and the owner even stopped by to say hello with homemade cookies in hand! The surrounding wildlife was amazing. We loved our stay in this home. Because you have these views the home is placed on a pretty good incline so you will get your steps in! Overall, this was an amazing stay!
Vista Oceana is absolutely amazing. Mark and his staff are world class. The house is so beautiful and the views are second to none. Jorge, the concierge, is the best he was quick to respond to questions and book whatever we wanted our adventure to be. the house staff did a phenomenal job with the cleaning. the house is immaculate. and don't forget to get the chef, the food was delicious if your headed to Manuel Antonio just book Vista Oceana, you wont be sorry.
we were two families with 5 children. The host and owner was very friendly. Fresh and beautiful flowers were prepared and there were homemade biscuits as a welcome. Jorge the concierge was great too. Thank you for everything!
Our stay was amazing. The house was beautiful, great location. Jorge our concierge was so helpful. We had seven couples and the 7 suites were perfect for our stay. The house was very clean, Sylvia came in every morning to clean and did a wonderful job. Our full time chef prepared the best food we had while in Costa Rica. We would stay at this house every time we come to visit. We had no complaints. Everything was wonderful.
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!
The whole stay was AMAZING. Jorge was always attentive to all our needs. The chefs ( Germaine) were so good we had them make most of our meals. The housekeeper was so considerate and kept everything clean. Gabriel kept the pool and outside property clean. The wildlife showing up at the Villa kept the children entertained everyday. The view was breathtaking. Can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes waking. Just a great family trip.
We were blown away by the beauty of this house, the fresh flowers and fruit bowl, the well-appointed sleeping areas, practical kitchen, the amazing terrace. And the setting couldn't be more exquisite, with views of the sunrise and sunset and the ocean so close you can hear the waves. But it was the people who we especially carried back in our hearts -- Sylvia and Rudolpho who cared for us so well, Mark the owner with his warmth and welcome cookies, and Jorge, oh my! He helped make this whole family dream trip come true! We will be forever grateful!!
This trip was a family vacation with our 4 adult children and their significant others. Casa Vista Oceana is as beautiful as pictured. Silvia arrived each morning to keep the whole house spotless. Rodolfo kept the pool area sparkling and perfect with fresh towels daily. Chef Germaine prepared us the most delicious dinner and breakfast...the food and presentation were beyond words!! I can't say or thank Jorge enough for everything he did and arranged to make this vacation easy, relaxing and so much fun! Mark, the owner, stopped by with fresh baked cookies and fruit. So appreciated!! We would absolutely stay at Casa Vista Oceana again. Beautiful home...perfect location. The daily visit from the monkey's put smiles on all our faces...loved it!! Pura Vida!!
We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The house was perfect for our family. Each room has its own bathroom which was so nice. The view from every room as well as the pool is amazing. Daily visits from the monkeys added so much fun. Jorge, the concierge, was wonderful. He worked with us closely to not only provide recommended excursions but also made all the arrangements. Everything went without a hitch. Mark, the owner even came by to welcome us. We hired the chief to make dinner and breakfast for us. The food was fantastic and the presentation was right out of a magazine. This is our new favorite place and will definitely come back.
This home has it all. Every amenity was thought of. Infinity pool, hammocks, lots of lounge areas- highly recommend.
National park in your backyard.
We were able to view all from our balconies & pool area: toucans, macaws, hawks, butterflies,
Capuchin & squirrel monkeys even a sloth in front of the house.
Outstanding Concierge Jorge & housekeeper Silvia. Mark, the owner, surprised us with an amazing home made dessert. Recommend booking chef Germain two nights minimum. Pictures & description don’t do it justice. Owner & concierge very easy to reach. Very secure-felt very safe and comfortable walking to separate areas in villa.
MUST DO!!!
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.
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!
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!
