About this house rental

Situated in Bahía Ballena, this charming house for $143 per night is a great choice for your next break. Los Loros (named for the parrots that fly over morning and evening) is perched atop a frontline ridge, offering spectacular ocean and mountain vistas. You will enjoy delightful daytime sea breezes and cooling nighttiime mountain breezes. Toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, and other wildlife we haven’t totally identified, thrive in the lush tropical foliage. Even scarlet macaws are sighted (they are making a comeback to this area). Please see pictures (I'm not great on providing narrative) and the amenity list. Los Loros is located on the "easy side" of Ojochal - just 2 km off of the paved Costanera. The villa is fully equipped and ready to be lived in - please enjoy the magic that is Costa Rica. To save money, please send an inquiry rather than a reservation request. Your stay includes free access to the Happy House. In the interest of full disclosure, there are dogs next door (a not uncommon experience in Ojochal). Unfortunately, the neighbor allows her dogs to run loose, so they frequently visit the property. Costa Rica Mindset: Yes, there are bugs in CR- but these are kept under control by the breezes and the Gecko patrol. Should you happen to be bothered by bugs/geckos, you might wish to consider an alternative destination. Driving is not recommended after dark (5:30). Unless your flight arrives in the morning, we suggest you spend your first CR night in the central valley, or along the way. Several excellent restaurants are located in and around Ojochal, as well as all desired creature comforts. Nearby beaches include lovely Playa Tortuga (within view), Playa Ventanas (with 5 caves), Uvita’s Whale’s Tail, and the Marina Ballena National Park. Within 90 minutes driving are Manuel Antonio (most visited National Park in CR), Dominical (great surfing) and the entire Osa Peninsula experience. Enjoy zip line canopy tours, whale/ dolphin watching, bird watching, kayaking, surfing, horseback riding, sports fishing, etc., or simply cocktails on a choice of verandas as the sun drops below the horizon fifty miles away. Ojochal de Osa is located along the Costanera Highway 30 minutes north of Palmar Sur Airport. (daily 35 minute flights from San Jose via Naturair or Sansa.) If driving from San Jose, the picturesque trip takes 3 ½ hours. Warning: You may find yourselves setting an alarm to arise at dawn each day just to absorb ALL of the constant beauty around the remarkable surroundings of this gracious Mediterranean villa. And if you encounter particular problems during your stay, a resourceful English speaking manager resides locally just a phone call away.

This property makes you feel like you're in Costa Rica! The only reason we didn't give it 5 overall was only a/c in one room and some cooking utensils in poor shape. Also some missing bulbs and Costa Rica plumbing! Great place overall!

We want to thank owner Diane and our new friend Ken for sharing this beautiful property with us. The view was top of the world rain or shine. The pool was refreshing.and there was different wildlife to see daily. The barb que had infrared heat and worked like a charm. I can't think of a single thing I would change. Pura vida

This property is in dire need of updating and there is definitely a safety concern given the doors and windows do not lock effectively. The shower floor is disgusting and I tried bleach and vinegar which only caused the black mold to rise up in chunks. The house smells of mold and mildew . The oven, tv and CD player did not work. Further the property manager was very condescending and chauvinistic. The evening before my departure the internet was out so could not load Covid results or check into my flight. One of my worst VRBO stays ever!

We had an absolutely amazing stay. This property is stunning, from the ocean and sunset views to the pool to the toucans in the tree every morning and dusk. Truly magical. We fell in love with Ojochal and cannot wait to come back! The owner and property manager were lovely and very easy to communicate with. They recently added AC in the downstairs bedroom which we were very thankful for. We wished we didn’t have to leave this oasis and are counting the days until we can come back!
