We had a fantastic stay at Chateau Mar Vista! This beautiful house was perfect for my large family, including our in-laws and kids. Between the main house and the guesthouse, there was more than enough space for everyone to feel comfortable. The bedrooms were huge with high ceilings and stunning ocean views. The pool deck was absolutely amazing, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the incredible views, especially at sunset—truly breathtaking!
The kitchen was fully equipped and made meal preparations easy for a large crowd, and we really enjoyed the outdoor BBQ grill and bar right by the pool.
The property is tucked away in a private, gated community. The location was ideal, with a short drive to gorgeous, relaxing beaches and beachside restaurants, making it easy to explore the local area.
The local property manager and complimentary concierge services were also excellent. They provided a bunch of great recommendations - we especially enjoyed a beach hopping and snorkel boat tour of the Papagayo peninsula.
A gorgeous home in a gated community, beautiful view, lovely pool, trees full of monkeys. We loved our stay. Management was friendly and extremely helpful. The road up to the house is a challenge, but our van was a champion.

I expected much more than what I got.
The property has potential to be beautiful, however the upkeep of the property isn’t being met. The sofa cushions, lawn chair pillows had holes in them. The guest house was absolutely horrible. First thing is the smell, it smelled old and moldy. The furniture is outdated and the sofa cushions were dirty. There was no refrigerator in there, it was actually in the main house kitchen pantry. I guess it was broken so they stored it in the pantry. We couldn’t use the pool the pool the first night because it hadn’t been cleaned yet. We couldn’t sit on the balcony or lay in the hammocks because they were dirty. The house manager Rebecca told us she was going to replace the patio cushions the next day and that never happened. She also said she was going to send us videos on how to work the stove, hot tub etc so that we didn’t have to call her. Well the videos that she sent were not the same make and model, so we still had to constantly contact her. The concierge Jennifer was amazing!! She was extremely helpful and responsive to all of our needs. She offered suggestions on what to do while we were in Costa Rica and we enjoyed all of them. It was my 50th Birthday celebration and she brought me a cake, she’s super sweet. With all of the problems that we encountered, Jennifer kept me and my groups spirits up. Lastly the listing had a pool and hot tub for the house and a private pool, which I thought would be for the guest house. Well there was only one pool on the property.
