Friends of 30 plus years getaway. Seven of us had the pleasure of staying at Villa Vida Bonita, we had such a lovely time catching up and making new memories. Edgardo was absolutely incredible; he went above and beyond with making sure we are all comfortable and taking care of all our needs. The house was beautiful, clean and in a great location. The chef Randall did an amazing job with our dinners, and the ceviche. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. We hope to return in the futue.

What a wonderful vacation! We highly recommend this wonderful house and all the wonderful people that help you have a fantastic stay! I felt like I was at a 5 star resort. Edgardo, the concierge, is so kind, positive and accommodating. The house is beautifully done and kept very clean. The beds were all very comfortable and the grounds look like a botanical garden. We really enjoyed swimming in the pool and watching the sunset on the balcony. The black sand beach was really interesting and beautiful. Edgardo helped us with activities and getting them all set up. We will miss it all!

I was nervous to book this property due to it being a new listing and the fact that it did not have any reviews. I am happy to say that the property is better than the pictures! It was perfect for our family and had everything that we needed. The beach was wonderful and we did multiple late night swims. Larissa was a great host and had great communication with us. Edgardo was amazing and made our trip extra special! He helped us with excursions and transportation. Transportation can be a bit tricky but the location is well worth the extra travel. I would highly recommend this property especially if you are wanting your own little oasis to escape to.

My husband and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary at Villa Vida Bonita for a week. First let me say that we were a little nervous as it’s a new listing without any reviews…..Once we arrived we knew that we made the right choice. The villa is absolutely stunning in every way. The renovations are all new and top of the line! We couldn’t believe that we had this gorgeous house all to ourselves! We like to cook our own meals and the kitchen did not disappoint…everything we needed was there. We also love our privacy which is another reason we chose this spot. We literally had the beach to ourselves everyday. We are good swimmers but the surf is a bit rough. The beach was cleaned every morning so it was pristine when we headed out. There’s a cool cove close to the house and the views are breathtaking. Our manager (Eguardo) was the best! He recommended some great local restaurants with typical Costa Rican food that was out of this world… it to mention very reasonable! We also did a couple tours…waterfall tour out of Jaco and the Crocodile Tour out of Tarcoles. Again, Eguardo assisted us with these as well as telling us where to pick up groceries etc. The road to get to the villa is really bumpy as it is a dirt road with ruts and gullies etc. We drove through farms of (what we were told later to be mango trees). So the place is pretty secluded…again just what we were looking for. But even with that…you are close to both Tarcoles and Jaco so everything you need in within 1/2 hour drive really. All in all we are SO HAPPY that we risked booking a new place on VRBO. We want to return with our family members…the place can easily hold 8 adults..with room to spare!
