This was our second visit to this property so obviously we love it. The house is beautiful, well equipped and in a great location. The house manager is very friendly and responsive. Can't wait to go back again.

We loved our stay here. The house was great and the views were unbeatable. The property managers were great. We works recommend this place to anyone.

Gorgeous house and grounds. Very clean and well kept. Beautiful birds and plants. Heard howler monkeys every day. Awesome ocean view. Strong A/C in the bedrooms. We felt fortunate to have found it. It was a bit far from town but we had a four wheel drive and didn’t mind. Would love it even more if the sheets were upgraded. Thank you for a memorable stay. Highly recommend.

This was truly one of the most beautiful spots we've stayed in! The online pictures are accurate, but the true beauty and sense of awe one gets looking at the surrounding mountains or out to the ocean cannot be captured by photos alone. You have to be there, and we recommend you try it for yourself! The Kents' home is very well maintained, clean, open and airy. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, beach towels and beach gear, including a cooler and two umbrellas, amongst other things. The grounds are impeccably kept and the lush garden and landscaping truly allowed us to feel like we were in a rainforest paradise with all the amenities of modern living. We were very impressed with the fact that despite the abundance of nature, and critters, around us, no insects were ever found in the home. The house managers, Karen and Keith, were responsive and helped address any issues that came up during our stay. I would recommend a 4x4 for those staying in the area as a good portion of the mountain roads are unpaved. A part of the road the house is as well, but manageable with the mid-size SUV we had. Nearby beaches are picturesque and not overly touristy (we were here Christmas to New Year's week), and there are several restaurants (of all price ranges) and a few supermarkets to choose from, all within a short drive. Our family of five (myself, my husband, and three kids ranging 15-21 years old) had a wonderful time and hope to return to CR and Villa Vista Milagrosa again. Thank you, Kents, for opening up your home to us. Pura Vida!

This was our third trip to CR and first time to the South Pacific. Ojochal is great location to relax and recharge. The property managers Karen and Keith were so helpful and a great resource. They were able to get some groceries for us to get us started. And checked on us as there was no power our first night. They helped me set up safe transportation for my sister who joined us a couple days later. The house is beautiful and well maintained. I highly recommend staying at this location. We are grateful to the Kent’s for opening their homes to us. We would absolutely consider staying there again.

We have been to CR twice before, but first time staying in Ojochal. Chris's house is impeccable with stunning views of the jungle, mountains and the ocean. This is an ideal location for anyone who loves nature. The climb up to the house is half paved , so definitely recommend a 4x4. I had a passenger and it struggled a couple of times when it rained. Nothing too dangerous, but a 4x4 would make it easier. Karen (property managers) gave us ample if privacy and at the same time was extremely responsive via What's app. Even during these COVID times, we found things to be close to normalcy as it used to be. People in general take common sense precautions, but everything was open and people were out and about enjoying in the open. I highly recommend this property. We stayed here with three kids ages 1, 3 and 9 and our in laws. We all found the house extremely comfortable and inviting for all

This property was fantastic! Everything in the listing was as is, with the exception of the sunshade on the upper deck in which upon arrival we were told was ripped the week prior. The property managers, Karen and Keith were fantastic! They were there for us from our Planning prior to arrival to anything needed during our stay. Additionally, we were due to get to the house about 6pm but due to delays at airport and drive to the house we were considerably later and they were very accommodating. The ride for the first time up to the house in the dark was truly an adventure but loved it and well worth the adventure! The rooms were all very spacious and beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were beautiful and had everything needed. Kitchen was perfect with pretty much everything you would need and more. Refrigerator does need repair, leaked throughout our whole stay and water and ice maker were broken. In addition, there was a free standing ice maker but that was broken as well. We decided to get a Chef for a couple nights as a treat in which Karen recommended Chef Umberto. He was truly fantastic! Set menus prior to arrival and each night was exactly as we arranged and was spectacular. Umberto was so sweet…..highly recommend. We had a local dog, Bonito, greet us on our first morning and was there for the rest of the week to hang out with us. Even slept at night on one of the pool chairs at night. So sweet, wanted to take him home. Saw monkeys, birds and heard howler monkeys every morning. Beaches were great! In particular loved Playa Ventana which was about 5 mins north of Ojochal entrance. Small but beautiful and only $4 to park. Playa Uvita was a little more expensive, $6 per person and parking was difficult. Very pretty beach. Many others to chose from that we were unable to get to. We did Jungle ATV Tours out of Uvita. Highly recommend. Tour guides were amazing. We saw so much of the area, from waterfalls, to tasting a local coffee farmers product in the middle of the jungle during one of our stops to some of the most beautiful views from the mountain tops. We also did the OSA Canopy Zipline Tour. This was about 20 minutes south of Ojochal entrance. Tour guides were also fantastic and would definitely do this again. I would recommend Mamma e Pappas Italian Restaurant in Ojochal. After our week there was still so much we hadn’t seen leaving us wanting to go back to Costa Rica again! Thanks for everything!!!

This was our second trip to the region in Costa Rica. Great location, great views. With COVID19 and US return restrictions the owner was very accommodating and we appreciate their patience. The guest prior to us put some unexpected wear and tear on the property and a few days before we were told the upper pool was drained. The property managers were top notch and attentive and got the pool back up and running within the first of two weeks. We are always grateful for owners opening their homes and this home has a lot to be desired and we would consider staying here again.

The house was great .the location and views are amazing we love this area of Costa Rica.thanks ken

Great property perched above the ocean in Ojochal. Grounds are meticulously maintained, pool was awesome and the kids (and adults) could not get enough of it after daily activities and the views are pretty darn incredible. Saw lots of birds and coatis. Not a bad drive up at all. So many tremendous things to do in the area. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home!

Very impressed with the spectacular ocean view house. The kitchen was very well stocked, even learned about a few utensils that we didn’t know we needed and afterwords could not live without. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The drive up to the house was very easy. Roads were in excellent shape. The town was very adorable with great restaurants. It was a tough decision whether to cook in the house Or to go out and eat. I would highly recommend this house to anyone.Special mentions about incredibly comfortable beds and wonderful screens to keep bugs out at night. However want to mention that the screens were never needed during the day for bugs

Loved coming home to the fantasic views, lush landscaping ,and the awesome pool. Home is roomy enough to give kids their own space. We felt really safe here.

This was one of the best vacations we have had! The home was beautiful with everything you needed and more. Super comfortable beds and furniture and a very well stocked kitchen. The views from the house were quite simply amazing and we spent many hours in and around the pool just enjoying them. The owner was very easy to work with from beginning to end and the property manager was very responsive to our needs and made the whole check in/check out process seamless. Don't hesitate to rent this home. You will not regret it!!

We stayed in March and the weather was perfect! The home has all of the amenities one could desire and then some! Very quiet neighborhood:). The view is amazing! The restaurants that are down the way are delicious(Sud, and Pancito get an extra shout out:)! Playa Ventana is 10mins away and just gorgeous! Close to attractions, restaurants and grocery stores. Highly recommend a visit to this unique and relaxing property!

We loved everything about it! The house is beautifully decorated, very roomy, well lit, very clean and so comfortable. The views are 360 degrees: on the mountains behind, the jungle around and the ocean in front. Nothing short of breathtaking. I spent early mornings on the upper deck, watching the sun rise and the birds and wildlife come to life. There is everything we needed, in the kitchen, rooms, bathrooms, for the beach. The neighbors are quiet and friendly, not too close, but just enough for the house not to feel too isolated, remote. The infinity pool is well-maintained and the water is just right. The landscaping attracts lots of birds and adds color and beauty. There are world-class restaurants a short (but bumpy!) drive away, as well as well-stocked grocery store. Lots of beaches and wildlife activities around. This is our second multi-week stay and we are going back for more next year. Thanks to the owners and housekeepers for another memorable stay!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at VVM. The road access is great with 4 wheel drive (15 minutes from Costanera), the house is well stocked for cooking, the AC in bedrooms is wonderful, the security for the neighborhood and house is appreciated, and the location is supreme. The pool, upper deck, and views of the ocean cannot be exceeded. We enjoyed lovely sunsets from both levels, sunny days, animal watching, and lounging by the pool. We saw howler monkeys and white faced monkeys in the trees in front and to the right of the house. There are lots of birds but only saw toucans once. We have visited the Ojochal area 7 times and will certainly be booking this home again.

The design, open ceilings, the view of the ocean and mountains was more than we expected. The adventure of the countryside, ATV tour and the unique bars and restaurants. Jolly Rogers bar has the best wings and the Bamboo Room is a great place for dinner. I will most definitely be coming back to this beautiful home and location bringing my friends to share this with. Great place. Chuck

The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. It is very comfortable, spacious and accommodating for 6 people. The views are great and the pool was a welcome perk for daily home activity. The kitchen is well stocked w/more than any necessary cookware or small appliance needed. The living area seating was very comfortable and having AC in the bedrooms was very welcomed when needed. The managers were very accommodating and understanding when we had flight issues and were easy to reach during our stay if we needed anything at all. We love this area and loved this house!

The design of this house is perfect for a family. The pool was a welcome relief on the hot days and sitting out watching the stars at night was amazing . Big Ass Fan kept the inside cool when the doors were open. The other amazing thing was we never got one misquote bite. Maybe it was the time of year or the altitude of the house. Kitchen was well stocked. Showers were warm. Beds were comfortable. We felt safe and secure with the area as well.

Yes, the view was absolutely FABULOUS!! We had monkeys, toucans, butterflies, and birds aplenty in the trees around the house. The lawns are beautifully landscape, the pool is clean and large enough for laps. We swam many times a day. The rooftop terrace was the perfect place to watch the sunrise early in the morning, and for happy hour! At this time of the year, the sun sets behind the trees, so it was a partial view but the concert of nature's songs was beautiful. The house is in a gated community, neighbour are friendly and quiet. It is fully-equiped, comfortable, with AC. The house is beautiful - its decor is contemporary and just perfect! We loved the blender for smoothies, the large refrigerator to fill with goodies brought from the neighbouring farmers' markets (cheeses, breads, fruits, jams, and more!). The bed and bedding were comfortable and recent, as were bath towels. There is a bbq to grill fish and burgers. The housekeepers - Keith & Karen - were responsive, welcoming and efficient. It was totally relaxing, peaceful and beautiful. The house is perfect! We will return! We loved it!

This was our 5th visit to Costa Rica, and 3rd in the Uvita / Ojochal area. This home is beautiful and the design and layout is fabulous; definitely our favourite home so far. The property is high enough up the mountain to have a great ocean view, but also not so high up that you miss the wildlife. We saw monkeys, toucans and macaws in the nearby trees on several mornings. The property is also beautifully landscaped. Both the owner and the property managers (Karen & Keith) were very helpful. Thank you Debra & Chris for sharing your property with us. Wishing we were still there....

We loved this place. After 10 years of visiting the area, this will be the only place to which we will return.

Everything was wonderful. This house has it all. Chris (owner) Karen (property manager) could not have been more accommodating. We had a great time in the pool and on the grounds. Great food choices in the area. Great surfing and beaches. Waterfalls in the area are great as well. The drive from SanJose is worth it to spend time in this great area. Thanks for a great vacation.

From start to finish the house continued to amaze us. Prior to arrival the communication was seamless, from directions, adventures, town map, suggestions, phone numbers , and house info. Our caretakers Keith and Karen were phenomenal, bringing extra propane for grilling , fixing wifi, making sure we were comfortable , and explaining the in's, and out's. once you enter the property your stunned by the mountaintop views; expansive, vast, and picturesque. Not shown in pictures is the amazing staircase from the carport to the perfect pool; big, clean , and perfect for lounging all day in the sun! Each room has its own character, and bathroom. All bedrooms connect to the wrap around porch connected to the pool! Ample mood lighting for midnight swimming,listening to the jungle sounds, or rooftop hanging in the foot pool for lunch and relaxing. The kitchen/living room(s) was equip with more then we could have expected, pots and pans , cups, utensils, nothing was forgotten for cooking a gourmet dinner in the jungle. With a kitchen table for 6 and an island for 4, large families would have no problems entertaining for a day home not at the beach. The living room with the "big ass fan" was much needed , with it off ;you can feel the humidity and warmth Costa Rica's noted for, with it on...feels like your walking into a perfectly air conditioned day spa. An extra sitting area near the accordion glass doors entering the main pool area with lounger chairs , and remote controlled retractable screen to keep bugs out. The master bathroom stole the show with huge deep soaker tub, double vanity, and glass shower, with jet sprayers. Every bedroom has air conditioning not that you'll need it with French sliding doors and huge fans in each . From top to bottom, inside and outside , every detail was thought about . We couldn't have made a better decisions for staying in Costa Rica in the mountaintop mansion! With so much to see and do , I can't see myself staying anywhere else besides this house! Can't wait to come back and enjoy another magical getaway in this gem!! Hats off to the perfect hosts! You made this a magical trip ! Until next time !

Very thorough and responsive communication from the owners and property managers. We were worried about making it up since we didn't have 4WD but we didn't have any issues. You have to know how to drive though! Beautiful pool and living area. Loved the "big ass fan". Saw howler monkeys and tucans from the pool deck!

This is hands down the best property we've ever rented. The house is beautiful and comfortable. As beautiful as the pictures are, they do not do it justice. The owners were very responsive during the rental process and the local property managers were great to work with as well. We travelled with 4 adults, and three kids ages 10, 11, and 11. The house was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, sheets, towels. etc. The beds are super comfortable and the living room was great. The 4wd was definitely helpful for the drive up, especially in the rain. Everyone loved the infinity pool. We loved going to the upper level deck in the morning and listening to the birds and monkeys. Wildlife is everywhere. We didn't see any monkeys, but saw coatis, toucans, parrots, and tons of other birds and lizards. The town of Ojochal and the surrounding communities were great. There is no shortage of activities. We went hiking to a waterfall, visited several beaches, went zip lining, took a day trip to Manuel Antonio, and did a night walk yet there was still plenty of activities we didn't have time to get to. We will save them for our next trip. The kids are already asking when we can come back. This home was great, do not hesitate to rent it!

My wife and three kids (ages 5 to 8) stayed here in February 2017 and had a fantastic time. The house, views and pool are nicer than even the pictures convey. The closet beach is about 10 minutes away, was basically empty and had great wave and sand. There are some local restaurants a short drive away but we preferred to cook at home. This is the perfect spot for anyone looking for a few days of seclusion and relaxing.

The house is absolutely wonderful with views from almost everywhere of the mountains and the sea. The landscaping is beautiful, the location wonderful and the caretakers-Kevin and Karen-couldn't be better. The howler monkeys made sure we woke up just before dawn in time to watch the sunrise over the mountains from the upper deck and the sunsets were wonderful too. Thanks to Debra and Chris for sharing this lovely property with others that feel the need to renew their soul. Thanks as well for insisting we have a 4x4 as it was definitely necessary. I will revisit as soon as possible
