We loved our stay at Mar a Lago! The house was beautiful and located right on the beach! But the highlight of our stay was Lucy and Luis who took such good care to make sure we felt at home. Lucy was the best cook so make sure you have her cook as often as you can! And tell them we said hello :) A must stay!

Costa Rica Beach House

Our family of 5 stayed a week at this beach house and we loved it! We had so much privacy and were the only people on the beach. It is definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive! Lucy was an amazing host and made us feel very comfortable.

Family Vacation

My husband, I and our 4 kids (3 teenagers and 1 college age) stayed here for a week and loved it! We liked that it is out of the city, we loved being able to go back and forth from the ocean to the pool, and the property is very well maintained!!

Private and perfect beach stay!

This home is perfect for those who want to have a private getaway. Off the beaten path…literally off dirt road, but once there you will have all the amenities in this gorgeous, sprawling home. On the beach with large pool. Lucy & Luis make the stay comfortable and informative. Coconut drinks in the morning, pointing out monkeys and birds on property and making a traditional Costa Rican dinner upon request. Couldn’t be happier with our stay and highly recommend this property!

Great Place to Stay

We really enjoyed staying at this location. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but that is also part of its charm. The house was very clean and comfortable. Luci and Luis are the property's caretakers and they are wonderful. They know just how to be warm and welcoming while still allowing you your privacy. They brought us coconut water and let us know when we could see monkeys at the property.

Beautiful vacation property-just as described and more!

Villa Mar Lago is a comfortable, spacious, well kept beach front villa...exactly as stated and shown in the VRBO pictures. Lucy and Luis, the onsite caretakers, are a pleasure in every way...from the property condition to the meals Lucy prepared, their helpfulness and kindness is much appreciated. Lucy and Luis take the best care of the property and were most welcoming upon our arrival to the villa. The beach is secluded and private black sand with a beach front palm frond umbrella and hammocks strung between the palms by the beach. The villa was clean, the beds comfortable, sleeps 8 comfortably in 3 bedrooms each with its own bath and a separate cabana with kitchen/LR area with a 4th bedroom. Birds and monkeys can be found in the trees, a local restaurant 5 km back toward town offered great meals as well. Quepos is about 50 minutes away, Parritas 20 minutes for groceries. For a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation, stay at Villa Mar Lago. We would definitely return some day!

Great place to unwind

Couldn’t have chosen a better place to unwind. Last part of the road is pretty rough but once you get there, Luis and Lucy take excellent care of you. Very warm caretakers and they are there for every need - which we hardly had. They even treated us to fresh tender coconut water and juicy pineapple slices. We had a nice catered (paid) meal made by Lucy. Beach was great though the kids couldn’t go deep in, due to the scare of riptide signs. They simply loved being in the pool and enjoying the place.

We were greeted my the smiling faces of Luci and Luis. They showed us around and told us how to contact them for any questions. Luis brought us fresh coconut water! Luci was a gem. She showed us how to prepare our fresh fish, make pantacones, and other helpful hints. We enjoyed the pool and hammocks by the beach. The info regarding thebdistance to the nearest store is very accurate so beingbwhat you meed! Hope to stay h We here again.

Absolutely amazing stay in paradise!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful beachfront property! We arrived in the evening during a rainstorm so Luis and Lucy, let us settle in until the next morning when they greeting us with fresh cocunuts. I can't speak highly enough about Luis and Lucy. They were outstanding caretakers and truly made our stay one to remember. Lucy cooked a few traditional Costa Rican meals for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. She also let us know when there were monkeys nearby for us to view, one had a baby that was super cute! The beach was wonderful and we saw very few people out there, often times we were the only ones present. If you enjoy being in paradise away from large crowds this is your place! We can't wait to return!

Amazing home and property!

Pictures do not do this property justice. It was stunning. Communication with the owner was great. We arrived to the caretakers greeting us with smiles and coconuts. The home was immaculate. The beach was quiet and the sunset was beautiful. The neighborhood dogs came to visit and my children enjoyed this very much. We were missing our dogs at home. The caretakers of this home made our stay so much better. They were kind and came to get us when a family of monkeys were playing. We fed them fresh fruit and it was an amazing experience. The store is a good drive so I would recommend getting what you need before you arrive. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer! I didn’t want to leave. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay and relax, away from tourists this home is perfect for you.

Beautiful and Secluded Villa on the Pacific

We had an amazing stay at Villa Mar a Lago! Communication with Maria was great. The home is in a picturesque tropical beach setting. The beach is nearly empty all the time, despite there being a very small resort right next door. The villa and casita were immaculately cleaned and had anything you would need for a week's beach vacation. The pool was clean and warm, so much so that it felt like a hot tub in the evenings. We walked the black sand beach for miles during the vacation and it never got old. The property caretakers, Lucy and Luis, were such a major added bonus for this rental! They are amazing people and didn't let the fact that our Spanish is limited, hinder talking with us. They were there for our party whenever we had a question or needed anything. If you are looking for a secluded beach vacation that is off the beaten path with great amenities, then this is the place for you! P.S. We did easy day trips to Jaco, Quepos and Manuel Antonio, so it's not that far off the beaten path.

Great beach villa

It is always difficult when looking at Vrbo listings to tell if a villa is the right one for your family. The listing for the villa is accurate; everything it said we should have available to us was as described. The three bedrooms each had their own bath and balcony access - plenty of space!!!! Absolutely perfect for our group! The living room couch was exceptionally comfortable. We cooked most of our meals at the villa using the kitchen in the villa as well as the kitchen next to the pool so we didn’t heat up the house. This was a great option for us! The caretakers are very friendly and assisted us when we had questions. They even let us know when some monkeys came through and we got some great pictures. We tried fresh coconut water, mangos and limes grown on the property. Lucy cooked us a traditional dinner and we enjoyed watching her cook it as much as eating it. If you want to communicate with the caretakers and don’t speak Spanish you’ll need to use google translate. This worked just fine for us! The grounds are kept very very clean. We walked the beach every sunrise and sunset. Very few people and we usually had the beach to ourselves. This villa is a bit off the beaten path but signage makes it easy to find and if you love the beach, it could be the one for you!

If I could give 6 stars I would

This amazing property is everything advertised and more! A beautiful 3 bedroom, Master en suite with King bed, guest en suite with two queen beds, guest en suite with Queen bed, meant plenty of room for everyone. There is additional ’casita’ with a full kitchen and king bedroom, Full, well equipped kitchen, large dining table and comfortable living area meaning we never got in each others way. With on-site caretakers, Lucy made certain we were well taken care of The house, however, is not the star! The VERY large pool and hot tub were expertly maintained by caretaker Luis. The pool ‘cabana’ has a fully equipped kitchen and propane grill. Lucy graciously cooked Tico breakfasts for us several mornings (tipping is appropriate). We spent many hours poolside, fully enjoying our time there. With an expansive beach less than 100 yards from the house, why go ANYPLACE else? I would walk the 2 plus miles to the end of the beach and would very rarely see another soul…. Where else can you walk on the beach in total harmony? The ocean is pretty wild here at low tide you have 200 yards of rolling waves to enjoy, however, warnings of riptides are present. The sand is dark and sparkles complete with sea life. Sunsets are STUNNING and enjoyed by the few neighbors on the beach. If you’re nice, Lucy & Luis, who are now family, will surprise you with coconut water, mangos, and MONKEYS! You are 6km down a dirt beach road, but solitude, sweet solitude! Villa Mar a Lago, we WILL be back!
