About this villa rental
Exceptional is an understatement for this property!
Vista Encanto is a dream vacation destination for all the right reasons. This stunning 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath south pacific Costa Rica luxury villa is located in the small village of Ojochal near multiple world-class restaurants, two French bakeries, fresh fish and fruit markets, and close to area beaches and activities including one of the nation's premier beaches, Playa Ventanas. There's even a very charming restaurant and bar within a short walk of the house.
The spectacular 180-degree views from Vista Encanto are truly million-dollar views, especially the sunsets, featuring sightlines as unique and entertaining as anything found in the tropical jungles of Central America. With such picturesque and peaceful views of the sea to the west, the southern peninsula, and the mountains to the east, nature's awakening, and the soft trickle of the pool fountain, you will surely be refreshed with an early yoga workout and fresh fruits to awaken your soul.
The excitement doesn't stop there, either. Vista Encanto has a spacious 6-foot-deep infinity swimming pool to keep everyone feeling fine at all times. Poolside scenes of the Terraba River interlacing with the mighty Pacific Ocean leave many guests mesmerized with the river-to-sea doing its daily ritual of accommodating significant tidal swings and watching disappearing sandbars and the local fishing boats. You could start out with that picturesque view from sunrise to sunset, watching the birds and fishing boats come and go with their catch while on the lookout for whales and other wildlife.
Vista Encanto features high-speed fiber wireless internet and modern appliances, including a dishwasher and washer/dryer units, two refrigerators, an island in the large kitchen with lots of storage cabinets, indoor-outdoor dining spaces, and a big ol' barbecue. The beautiful woodwork and teak cabinetry will surely catch your eye and the high teak ceilings that give the house an airy, fresh feeling. There is a nice wet bar in the dining room convenient to the pool deck and a beverage cooler to keep wine and drinks perfectly chilled.
Access to the southern Pacific towns of Ojochal, Uvita, and Dominical is easy. Simply pop down to the coastal highway and you'll have access to all the different towns and beaches in the region, all less than 30 minutes by car. Local wildlife is also abundant at Vista Encanto, with macaws, monkeys, toucans, butterflies, and frogs all considered regular visitors around the property. Sip your coffee in the morning or a cocktail at night while all the different species of parrots buzz by the property. You don't know who might be showing off in the morning at Vista Encanto.
The property is located less than 2 minutes off the coastal highway, just south of the Ojochal town exit. The drive from the coastal highway to the house is short on an unpaved solid road but visitors may feel more comfortable with a 4x4 vehicle.
Vista Encanto is perfect for large families, couples, and groups of friends with a maximum capacity of 13 guests, and children of all ages are welcome to stay. Every bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and air-conditioning unit. Four of the five bedrooms, including the stunning master king suite, feature big ocean views. Two bedrooms are kings with private entrances and the second main bedroom has a pair of queen beds. Each of those four bedrooms has double sinks in the generous-sized en-suite bathroom.
The fifth en-suite bedroom is a bit smaller than the other bedrooms and is located near the Master Bedroom. It's ideal for children but is comfortable for adults with a bunk bed that has a double mattress on the bottom and a single mattress on top.
Vista Encanto also has plenty of outdoor furniture because let's be honest, the pool and deck areas are where you'll be spending most of your time, soaking in the Costa Rica sun and cool mountain breezes from the eastern mountains. If you decide to move the good times inside for the evening, there's plenty of dining space in the house as well.
Words and photos alone don't do Vista Encanto justice. You'll be blown away at the views, the layout, and the convenience of Vista Encanto. There are so many convenient places to explore besides the property and local towns with their beachside activities. You're close enough to visit Manuel Antonio, Jaco, or San Isidro for a day trip or the OSA peninsula, waterfall tours, jungle tours, fishing trips, and lots more. This is truly the perfect balance of a peaceful but exciting vacation house for family and friends to gather for a once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list type of experience. When you're ready to check off those life-changing boxes with friends and loved ones, Vista Encanto will be ready for your arrival.

I hate to tell you what I really think about this house, because I’m afraid we won’t be able to use it anymore it will be so booked! We have rented many homes in the Dominical, Uvita area ~ but this is by far the best! We can’t wait to come back! The You get here team, especially Ishmael are the best! So responsive, we only had a couple problems with the house, the air conditioner in my bedroom wasn’t working one day and they immediately had someone on it. The house is beautiful and worked so well. We didn’t want to leave The pool is wonderful ~ The only thing that would’ve made it better is we would have liked heat in the jacuzzi. It’s a steep driveway to the house, but it’s not unmanageable. The restaurant right around the corner, El Castillo was wonderful! And so handy on nights we didn’t feel like barbecuing. The house is in a perfect location, quiet and beautiful. The view from the house changes throughout the day. Low tide, you can see all of the sand bars, and at high tide it looks like you’re right on the ocean! Beautiful sunsets from the pool every night. We saw so many animals, monkeys right in our trees, coitamondi’s, parrots flying over every day, hawks, we even saw a crocodile on the sandbar! Love the Alexa sound system throughout the house. I really can’t say enough about the house, it was absolutely amazing.

We had 12 people ranging from 2.5 to 61 years old and all loved staying here. Each room is comfortable, has a bathroom and all but the kids room have a spectacular view from them. We chose days specifically to hang out at the house because the pool and views were incredible. We saw monkeys near the house and a ton of different birds. It was truly paradise!!

This house is the perfect place for a large group. We had a party of 11 with 6 of them being kids. We had plenty of space. Each bedroom has a bathroom which was so convenient. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and a large coffee pot.
The pool was phenomenal and the view of the pacific could not be more beautiful. If you are wanting to relax and not do a lot of excursions, this is the place. We did jet skis and a chocolate tour and both were in Quepos about an hour away. Not a ton of restaurants or shopping near the house, but a Maxi Pali about 15 minutes away for groceries. We took advantage of the service to stock the kitchen with groceries and were glad that we did. It was ideal for our family and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a beautiful place to relax with an amazing view.

My family of 4, and a friends family of 7 stayed at this property for one week over Spring Break. It was stunning! Words can’t describe the incredible views. From the front you saw views of the ocean/pool/ landscape, from the back you saw the mountains and rainforest. The place was exactly as described in the pictures and looked better in person. Clean, spacious, and comfortable, beautiful lighting, landscaping and birds! Neil and his team were very helpful with questions, rental cars, tours and directions. They even provided a grocery service and had the groceries at the house waiting for us. From the VRBO there were numerous beaches, waterfalls, hikes and tours to go on all within 5-30 minutes. We went snorkeling, rented surf boards and stayed home and enjoyed the pool. It was very hot when we went, but there was plenty of outdoor shade on the property.
A few things to note:
1. You do need a 4x4 vehicle (as stated), crazy bunny road up to the property.
2. It is a 4 hour drive from San Juan. Once you get to the property there is tons to do nearby, but if you fly in late, you need to stay in San Juan and drive there the next day.
3. The floors are beautiful but slippery. A few more rugs by the pool entrance would be helpful.
4. There were beach towels, but no chairs or beach extras. The only thing that would have been incredibly helpful would have been a beach umbrella. But many beaches had them for rent.
Thank you so much for an amazing week! We had a fantastic time!

Stunning property! Incredible view. Easy access. Very well maintained! We have been to Costa Rica 6 times. Each time a different vacation rental. This one tops them all hands down!
10.0 / 10.0
This Villa was ABSOLUTELY Amazing! The views were breathtaking. When every single local came to the home to provide service for us THEY ALL took pics and videos. The massage therapist our drivers and our chefs all captured pictures. Every time we stepped out of the house we pulled out our camera Front and Backyard! This is how beautiful it was. Speaking of chef the property management help set up the chef for us and the food was delicious. We were the first to stay in this newly renovated property and it didn’t disappoint at all. I’ve traveled to different counties but Costa Rica ranks high on the list and is a must. We flew into San Jose and had to drive some hours to arrive but it was worth it!
