10 Days in Playas Del Coco
Beautiful property sitting high above Coco Bay.This VRBO is one of the nicest and best outfitted house rentals we have stayed in as a family. Plenty of kitchen space with a million dollar view out across the infinity pool toward the water! Ample bedroom space for 3 couples each with its own bathroom and shower. Gas grill outside for additional cooking options. Beach towels and bedding provided. About 1.5 hours drive to jungle tours, whitewater rafting, coffee plantations, and Zip lines. Only downside is have to drive 1/2 mile down to the resort restaurant, pickleball courts, and pool because of the steep roads. US based Host and nearby property manager had great connections for tours and adventures. 9 out of 10 for a family trip.

Does time visitors
We chose the area for proximity to activities and by chance chose villa dulce Vida. We couldn’t have been happier with the house, staff, driver and the many excursions they recommended. Flexibility to change our itinerary made the vacation so much easier. Highly recommend if you’re planning a family or friend stay near coco beach.

Magnificent view!
My friends and I gathered to celebrate our big birthday. It was perfect villa with magnificent view of the Coco bay from every rooms. Having a car is necessary at this villa. It's short drive down to the club and to grocery store to get necessary goods, as well as to the Coco town for lunch and dinners.

Excellent property and experience
This house is exceptional and so is Alex, the property manager; Ofelia the cook that we used for most dinners and the private chef, Paolo, that we splurged on for the last night. I’d highly recommend to anyone else coming to Costa Rica.

As Advertised, but ...
Gerry and Alex were exceptionally gracious and responsive, promptly addressing all questions/requests. Property as advertised and met expectations. However, I must highlight misleading aspects of the listing.Description states Coco Beach and El Coco Casino are a 4- and 6-minute walk respectively—this is entirely inaccurate. Alex was upfront about steep inclines and high temps making the walk challenging, but we expected it to be manageable. Being a fit and active family, we decided to assess upon arrival. Despite the listing’s claim of “mere minutes,” my son and DIL attempted the walk from Coco Beach, which took 24 min. We hired a ride every time afterward. Do not rely on stated walkability.Two Disappointments:1. Catamaran Excursion Cancellation . We pre-booked all excursions through Alex. On day of scheduled Catamaran trip, 1:15 PM pickup never arrived. Unbeknownst to us, Alex canceled the reservation, assuming we were no longer interested after my younger son inquired about a ride to Playa Hermosa, which he ultimately declined. Unfortunately, this miscommunication led to the cancellation. We wish Alex had confirmed with us before cancelling. He apologized profusely.2. Diamante Price Issue . Before arrival, we booked this trip through Alex, who assured paying cash 118/per avoids additional costs. At the park we learned price increased to 125/per, PLUS 13% tax. Instead of 708 for 6, we paid 847.50. Frustrating, yet I feel Alex/Gerry wear many hats and do their best!

Home second to none.
This was a beautiful home and lived up to our expectations. What made our stay especially good was Alex and his team. This rental was by far our best experience with timely responses. From arranging a chef to helping us with excursions to arranging transport to and from the airport. Truly a 5 star experience.

Beautiful house overlooking Playa Ocotol bay and Playa del Coco bay. Alex and Gerry were so helpful and friendly arranging transportation, cooking and history lessons about the area. We were very fortunate to see howler monkeys almost everyday, not a usual occurrence. One of our best vacations.

Villa Dulce Vida
The villa is located in the Coco Bay Estates development and positioned above Playa del Coco with a good bay view. The photos of VIlla Dulce Vida are accurate with respect to the design and finish and the villa was spotless when we arrived. There was a large load of bed sheets, towels, and pillowcases in the dryer that required folding. The kitchen is pretty well-stocked with cooking essentials but the fire sticks for lighting the grill were not functional. The black quartz countertops look great but show every crumb, grain of salt, water spot, etc requiring a lot of constant cleaning if you cook in the villa. There was no problem with mosquitos for our visit, but GIANT grasshoppers were a problem. Both raccoons and grey foxes were seen outside at night and Howler monkeys were heard, but not seen. The town is quite small, sleepy, and not a lot to choose from when it comes to restaurants (the Italian restaurant was quite good). Auto Mercado was an excellent grocery store (as was New Super China, but only for essentials). The restaurant (Sugoi) was average to good with a limited wine list. The associated beach club was quite small, minimaly staffed, and serves no cocktails. The nearest beaches are vocanic (black sand) and not particularly attractive. We enjoyed the week we spent at Dulce Vida but will likely not return to the town of Playa Coco in favor of other areas of Costa Rica.

Villa Dulce Vida
We vacationed at Villa Dulce Vida with 8 adults. Everything from the booking, planning and duration of the visit was perfect. Alex assisted with planning all excursions prior to arriving and presented an itinerary that included every activity we desired. Once we arrived at the house we were greeted by Gerry, who ensured every activity was perfectly executed. We appreciated Gerrys input and responsiveness to all our needs and requests. He really made the stay special.
I completely recommend booking this villa for a relaxing accommodation, breath taking views and the most friendly people. Pura Vida!

Fantastic Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time at the villa. Very spacious rooms, unique design and absolutely killer views. It absolutely necessary to have at least one car (depending on how many are in your party) to run down the hill for shopping, restaurants, the Club or visit nearby beaches. The weather was perfect, the villa gets nice breezes and the patio is in the shade most of the day. Nearby favorite beaches for us were Playa Hermosa and Playa Ocotal. We also enjoyed a Trimaran cruise (arranged by house manager Alex) with snorkeling.
Our college age kids did a group day trip to the Rincon Volcano area with activities at a resort there and loved it!
This was our 2nd time in Costa Rica and we will definitely be coming back.

Best week ever!
We has a wonderful stay. Place is better than pictures can present. Alex and Gerry were great - setting up rides anytime we needed, setting up excursions, chef, etc.- did their best to make it the best experience possible. Chef Anita won our hearts with her kind spirit and wonderful cooking skills and Gabby was gracious to fill in for her the first day. Also, excellent meals. The drivers we had: Jonny, Jose and Edgar were very respectful of us and our time and were fun to be around. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay.

Unsurpassed and Impressive
The property was great! The home is new, and has many unique features from a design standpoint. Everything worked well in the house. The location is excellent, with unsurpassed views of Coco Bay. The home is in a very secure (gated and guarded) community within a few minutes drive to the center of town (Coco Beach). Communication and local property management was very accessible and helpful if needed.
Overall, I would highly recommend a stay at this lovely, and impressive home. It would be difficult to find anything superior to this property, in this area.

Wonderful stay!
We had such a wonderful stay, the house is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views. All the appliances and cookware are good quality, the house was exceptionally clean and we loved it! Alex and Gerry were wonderful, they arranged transfers for us, restaurant reservations and for the traditional chef to cook for us a couple of nights. They were just whatsapp away, and we messaged frequently with questions and they were always so responsive and helpful
I would highly recommend Ofelia, the chef who prepares traditional costa rican food. It was delicious and such a treat not to have to worry about cooking or buying groceries. The area is great, we walked into Coco a few times (although I would recommend a car as there are some steep hills to navigate). We also used the Club at Coco Bay almost daily as it had a huge pool and drinks/snack service as well as a gym and tennis courts. All in all it was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend choosing this villa for your stay.

Beautiful House with amazing views
Overall, we had a fantastic time at this beautiful house with amazing views. However, there were a few drawbacks. The icemaker did not work, air in the water line in the apartment which made loud noises. You definitely cannot walk through this community due to the steep hills, so you will either need to rent a car or be prepared to pay for private transportation (least amount paid was 40 per roundtrip).
We communicated with the property managers Gerry and Alex about hiring the local cook months in advance and sent several follow up communication with confirmation and the morning of our trip I received a message indicating that the cook was ill and no other replacement in their network was available. This was very disappointing to say the least. Another specific request for a birthday cake was not fulfilled as requested, so there were some disappointments with the Villa managers.

The short version here is that you’re going to love your stay! Just look at the pictures and then remind yourself that they don’t do the view or the place justice. Yep, you’re going to have that amazing view and those amenities while staying in Costa Rica where you can have as much adventure or down time as you want. We had a mix of both.
Plus, the team of Gerry and Alex will make sure you have everything you need for your stay. They’re excellent communicators and always available. You honestly can’t go wrong and don’t need to be stressed or worried about your stay.

Two weeks of R&R
The property is an easy barely 30 drive from the airport & car rental in a gated community. When you first drive in, there's a clubhouse for owners & guests of the property with private pool. My husband and kids used he gym there each day too. There's also a fabulous restaurant there that we ate lunch at and many dinners at. Great service from the friendly staff! This property was one of the highest on the mountain in this community.It's an enormous property, jungle, with lush trees and when we reached the home we had gorgeous views of Coco Bay.I started each day in the infinity pool which we all loved.We bonded, rested, laid out, grilled one night and watched movies on the large tv in the family room during rain showers. We were able to easily drive to nearby zip lining and horse back riding, a handful of amazing restaurants of dinners-our favorite was Mar Azul.We drove to different beaches on three different days-peaceful and beautiful. Our house manager Gerry went above and beyond to help us with any questions and concerns we had about our day trips. He even offered to set up tours for us. We felt safe, could reach him at anytime and our host Sandy.The home is very large, spacious and my mom, husband, 16, 18 and 20 year old loved the views from all the rooms and starting each day together over breakfast. It's decorated beautifully & we loved being able to use the washing machine/dryer. The kitchen has everything you need too. Thank you dear Gerry,Sandy&Alex-Pura Vida

The BEST first out of the country experience EVER
I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property for my Birthday trip! The property is beautiful and the view is amazing. The property was very clean and well kept and there was nothing that we needed that we didn't already have in the home. We were blessed to have two wonderful ladies make our meals during our stay and the food was delicious!
Now! Gerry, Alex, and Sandy were absolutely amazing. They were always responsive and there to answer any questions we had. Alex help set up an itinerary before we arrived including transportation for our entire stay and everything happened as planned with no issues.I even arranged for Birthday decorations to be set up while we were out and the team made sure everything happened with no issues. We unfortunately had an accident while in Costa Rica that landed my Husband in the ER and these wonderful humans checked on us multiple times including Gerry coming at 7am just to take me to the pharmacy! Sandy even followed up AFTER our stay to check on my husband and send well wishes! There hospitality and kindness is something I will never forget.
This was hands down the best vacation I have had with ZERO complaints every person we came in contact with was a pleasure. I cant wait to come back and stay with them again.
I can go on and on with all the wonderful things about this property and the people that run it. DONT THINK JUST BOOK!

My husband and I split our time between North Carolina and Colorado. We love to travel and enjoy time with friends and family.
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
We love Costa Rica and wanted a home close to the beach but, not right in the middle of the action. We also love to entertain and wanted a place that had enough space to allow friends and family to visit but, not be right on top of each other. This brand-new home nestled into the mountainside with amazing oceanview fit the bill for us!
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
This three-story home offers and elevator, private apartment and is built right into the side of the mountain. We love how the builder incorporated the mountain into the design. You'll see part of the mountain right in your Livingroom!
