We had a wonderful time at the villa. Very spacious rooms, unique design and absolutely killer views. It absolutely necessary to have at least one car (depending on how many are in your party) to run down the hill for shopping, restaurants, the Club or visit nearby beaches. The weather was perfect, the villa gets nice breezes and the patio is in the shade most of the day. Nearby favorite beaches for us were Playa Hermosa and Playa Ocotal. We also enjoyed a Trimaran cruise (arranged by house manager Alex) with snorkeling. Our college age kids did a group day trip to the Rincon Volcano area with activities at a resort there and loved it! This was our 2nd time in Costa Rica and we will definitely be coming back.

We had such a wonderful stay, the house is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views. All the appliances and cookware are good quality, the house was exceptionally clean and we loved it! Alex and Gerry were wonderful, they arranged transfers for us, restaurant reservations and for the traditional chef to cook for us a couple of nights. They were just whatsapp away, and we messaged frequently with questions and they were always so responsive and helpful I would highly recommend Ofelia, the chef who prepares traditional costa rican food. It was delicious and such a treat not to have to worry about cooking or buying groceries. The area is great, we walked into Coco a few times (although I would recommend a car as there are some steep hills to navigate). We also used the Club at Coco Bay almost daily as it had a huge pool and drinks/snack service as well as a gym and tennis courts. All in all it was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend choosing this villa for your stay.

Beautiful relaxing home. Spacious. Great place for retreat. The view is amazing. Pool much appreciated after hike back up from town. Great spot for happy hour. Some issues with ice maker and wifi sound system. Alex and chauffeur Johnny were A1, always ready to help with smiles and helpful suggestions.

This was a beautiful home and lived up to our expectations. What made our stay especially good was Alex and his team. This rental was by far our best experience with timely responses. From arranging a chef to helping us with excursions to arranging transport to and from the airport. Truly a 5 star experience.

I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property for my Birthday trip! The property is beautiful and the view is amazing. The property was very clean and well kept and there was nothing that we needed that we didn't already have in the home. We were blessed to have two wonderful ladies make our meals during our stay and the food was delicious! Now! Gerry, Alex, and Sandy were absolutely amazing. They were always responsive and there to answer any questions we had. Alex help set up an itinerary before we arrived including transportation for our entire stay and everything happened as planned with no issues.I even arranged for Birthday decorations to be set up while we were out and the team made sure everything happened with no issues. We unfortunately had an accident while in Costa Rica that landed my Husband in the ER and these wonderful humans checked on us multiple times including Gerry coming at 7am just to take me to the pharmacy! Sandy even followed up AFTER our stay to check on my husband and send well wishes! There hospitality and kindness is something I will never forget. This was hands down the best vacation I have had with ZERO complaints every person we came in contact with was a pleasure. I cant wait to come back and stay with them again. I can go on and on with all the wonderful things about this property and the people that run it. DONT THINK JUST BOOK!

The property was great! The home is new, and has many unique features from a design standpoint. Everything worked well in the house. The location is excellent, with unsurpassed views of Coco Bay. The home is in a very secure (gated and guarded) community within a few minutes drive to the center of town (Coco Beach). Communication and local property management was very accessible and helpful if needed. Overall, I would highly recommend a stay at this lovely, and impressive home. It would be difficult to find anything superior to this property, in this area.

Beautiful house overlooking Playa Ocotol bay and Playa del Coco bay. Alex and Gerry were so helpful and friendly arranging transportation, cooking and history lessons about the area. We were very fortunate to see howler monkeys almost everyday, not a usual occurrence. One of our best vacations.

After a 7 day long sailing cruise down the coast of Costa Rica, 3 couples rented this beautiful property for some R&R. Overall the house and its surroundings were perfect for this kind of stay. Waking up every day with the amazing breathtaking view alone made us give this property a 5 star rating. However despite the views, the incredibly responsive, kind and knowledgeable house managers (Alex and Gerry), and the uniquely beautiful architecture of the house, there were a few things that could have been improved or future guests should be made aware of for their stays. See notes below: * the house is in a community with lots of new home construction right down the road, be careful when driving * the incline to get to the house is VERY steep, you will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle including the steep driveway into the garage for parking with no guardrails in front of this driveway facing the cliff side. * the house was minimally stocked with some essentials like paper towels and we had to ask for kitchen towels that we could use, but Gerry promptly provided them. We actually bought a lighter for the house to use for the scented candles that were provided as well. * there was a foul smell in the garbage disposal upon arrival that never really dissipated after Gerry came by to fix it * we had the electricity go out several times due to the construction and high winds which one day effected the pump that brought the water up the hill, so we were without water for half a day. It was resolved and Gerry and Alex were very responsive on it and apologetic. * Be aware that you are near lots of wildlife, some of which may try and come into the home. We saw large spiders indoors and scorpions and fer-de-lance poisonous snakes on our patio, so WEAR SHOES and don't play with the animals. We did see monkeys in the trees near the house one day, AMAZING. * the pool is NOT heated, and given the sun's direction, gets very shady and cold in the afternoon *Be sure to shoo away the Buzzards that like to stop for a drink in the pool, they make a mess with their droppings in the pool otherwise * the elevator bay has a slight gas smell, don't think it is a concern, just pointing it out * the water pressure in the master bedroom shower is not ideal and when both showerheads are going, only one has hot water and the water pressure decreases more Other than these minor adjustments, the house is A++

“The guys” were great, always responsive, very courteous and will provide you with all the information you need. You will definitely need a car as this is not a walk to the beach kind of property but the views are spectacular. Coco is fun, get the Casado, enjoy the locals, tip the parking helper!

This is an amazing house. The weather was perfect and the town is cute and authentic. Not your typical tourist area. The highlight was the property managers who did their best to make us at home. Would love to,go back.

The short version here is that you’re going to love your stay! Just look at the pictures and then remind yourself that they don’t do the view or the place justice. Yep, you’re going to have that amazing view and those amenities while staying in Costa Rica where you can have as much adventure or down time as you want. We had a mix of both. Plus, the team of Gerry and Alex will make sure you have everything you need for your stay. They’re excellent communicators and always available. You honestly can’t go wrong and don’t need to be stressed or worried about your stay. I know our family will be back!

This property is everything the pictures show and more! The interior is beautiful and the views breathtaking. But what made our family Christmas so special was the people. The house managers Gerry and Alex are wonderful human beings! They made sure we had everything we needed at all times. We even made Gerry join us for dinner! Giselle and Anita cooked absolutely delicious meals for our group of 8 and spent time just visiting with us which we really enjoyed. By the end of our trip we were all taking selfish together! We also loved the town and wandered for hours, ate at the local soda multiple times and chatted with the locals. I highly recommend as it is truly magical!

This property was immaculate and much better in person than the photos. You could see the detail and creativity that went into constructing and designing this home. Everything that you needed was there in the home. My family was extremely helpful that I chose this home for our vacation and we had the best time ever in Costa Rica. If you are thinking about renting this property, don't think twice-just do it. The GAT representatives, Alex and Gerry were super responsive and very helpful. Because of them, we have decided to purchase a home in this development. Let me tell you, these two went way beyond our expectations and made our trip very memorable.

Pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful home and amazing views. Gerry from property management was awesome to work with! We loved our stay.

We has a wonderful stay. Place is better than pictures can present. Alex and Gerry were great - setting up rides anytime we needed, setting up excursions, chef, etc.- did their best to make it the best experience possible. Chef Anita won our hearts with her kind spirit and wonderful cooking skills and Gabby was gracious to fill in for her the first day. Also, excellent meals. The drivers we had: Jonny, Jose and Edgar were very respectful of us and our time and were fun to be around. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay.

I have stayed in many vacation houses over the past decade, and this is my favorite. Gorgeous view, the house is well equipped, and the management was so helpful in arranging outings, giving advice and checking in on us. We absolutely fell in love with Costa Rica! Could not have had a better experience!

The house was amazing and spacious for our family of eight, the property managers were prompt with any request we had, Anita the Cook was great, overall great experience.

Our stay at Villa Dulce exceeded our expectations. From the start, Alex and Gerry were so welcoming and helped us throughout the week with many fun adventures. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. The house was unbelievable and the views were magnificent. Very sad to leave but We will definitely be back!!

Alex started planning out our every need 2 months before we arrived He was very pleasant and professional! His favorite saying is we will do everything we can that is legal to make you have an amazing vacation! Alex and Gerry did just that and more! We never had to worry about transportation or how to get to our excursions… they had it all planned out and were always on schedule even if we weren’t 😂! Anita was a pleasure to see each morning she made us a delicious breakfast and an amazing surprise birthday feast! Everyone with GAT Tours were extremely Top Notch. We booked the catamaran, mega tour, beach tour, ATV and Crocodile excursion. We enjoyed them All. We especially loved Carlos our tour guide for a couple of our excursions, he is super knowledgeable about Costa Rica’s wildlife and nature. Do yourself a favor and book with Alex and Gerry of GAT Tours at Villa Dulce Vida… Pura Vida!

Beautiful house and view! Even better than the pictures. Our group of 10 had an amazing time and there was plenty of space for all of us. The property is very modern with lots of relaxation/entertainment areas available (and the sound system throughout the house is great) so it’s very pleasant to spend time just in the house itself. The location is a little out of the way so unless you rent a car, you’ll need to plan for car transfers for any activities/errands (which can be done through the host). The surrounding area is also being developed so there may be some construction taking place nearby but we weren’t really bothered by it. It was very easy to communicate with the hosts/property managers through Whatsapp and they were very helpful and responsive. We went with the option to have a local cook named Anita with us for most of our stay and she was incredible! Highly recommend having her for your stay – her food was delicious and she was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, we loved our stay and definitely recommend it for others!

This home was spectacular. You could not ask for a better view—looking down at the gorgeous bay below. Plenty of room for all. Brand new and pristine. Alex checked in with us everyday and went out of his way to tend to our needs. He was the best! We hired the cook Anita to prepare breakfast and dinner on 3 of the days and she was outstanding and very reasonable. I highly recommend her. This VRBO stay exceeded our expections!

The house was perfect. The team managing the property is very responsive and accommodating. The food prepared by Anita was excellent. The house is truly stunning, with ocean views from every room.

We spent a glorious week with our 2 college-aged children in this magnificent villa. The house is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Alex, the property manager, is an absolute Prince. He took care of every detail for us and was completely available to answer any question before and during our stay. The facilities at the Club house - pool, gym and restaurant, were an added bonus - highly recommend the guacamole prepared table side. We also secured the services of Anita to cook a few dinners and breakfasts for us and she is a lovely person and prepares delicious, local cuisine. We did the private boat tour which included a tour through the mangroves, fishing, wake boarding, snorkeling, & relaxing on private beach with 2 wonderful crew men and plenty of refreshments. We also did the Mega Tour which was a highlight of our trip - located near one of the volcanoes in a resort the trip included a day of zip lining, horseback riding, short hike to amazing waterfall, jungle water slide, volcanic mud bath and relaxing hot soaking pools. Bring cash for a cocktail while you soak and relax around the pools at the end of trip. I would also recommend a visit to Playa Hermosa - a beach 15 minutes north - more picturesque than the beach at Coco. We also enjoyed cocktails and lunch at the Look Out Restaurant (on Netflix series Restaurants on the Edge). Amazing views but would not want to attempt drive in the dark so do lunch or early evening. One word of caution, do not rent a car with Avis - there was no car for us & several other customers from our flight upon arrival. Luckily Alex was able to secure something for us but at considerable cost. A car or dedicated driver is really a must at this property as the walk to town would be very long and strenuous given the hills. And finally, the people of Costa Rica are a highlight - warm and friendly -- Pura Vida!!

This property was magnificent, had unbelievable views and was in pristine shape. The local management company GAT Group (Alex and Gerry) were beyond helpful and worked hard to exceed all expectations. The local cook/maid (Anita) they arranged for us was wonderful and our only regret was that we could not bring her home. The local tour driver/guide (Carlos) they arranged was equally wonderful and entertaining. Thank you all for a perfect vacation!!

Our family had a wonderful time at Villa Dulce Escape. The villa exceeded our expectations…. tons of space, beautifully done, and room for all 7 of us to be together and to spread out. The location to town was great, and we had breathtaking views of Coco Beach. If that wasn’t enough, Alex and Gerry provided us with amazing service, lots of tour and activity options and a warm welcoming feeling each time we connected. Don’t hesitate booking this place. Pura Vida!!!

The view and the villa are awesome. Alex and Jerry manage this Villa. They both were as much help as one visiting a new place could ask for. Very Friendly and flexible. We would recommend them and this Villa to anyone and everyone looking to a vacation in Costa Rica .

I am honored and privileged to be one of the 1st guests at Sandy's beautiful home in Coco Bay Estates! Overall one of the best experiences our family has had. Sandy was very attentive and put me in direct contact with the property manager - Alex. Through Alex, we were able to pre-book excursions and arrange airport pick up and drop off. Being only 30min away from Liberia airport was super convenient and enabled us to quickly get into vacation mode! when we arrived at the house - the initial response from my family and friends were "wow", "incredible", "you've outdone yourself", "pinch me". The pictures do not do it justice! the house is beautiful, very modern with many amenities and the view over the bay....just stunning! Our driver from the airport to the house was in direct contact with the property manager and was able to give us some history of the area, giving us a lesson on the "pura vida" lifestyle. we stopped and got some groceries and then checked into our home for the next 6 days. Alex met us at the house and gave us a tour of the home and a rundown of our itinerary during our stay. We had some adjustments and Alex was able to accommodate. We had beautiful weather and only a short trip to the local beach! During our short time there we were able to visit some popular beaches (both white and black sand), surf in tamarindo, zipline, visit a natural waterfall, take a private boat to visit a secluded beach, snorkel and see a beautiful sunset from the boat. we also treated ourselves to in-house massages and a personal cook for breakfast and dinners. Anita made us traditional Costa Rican breakfasts with fresh fruit - simply amazing! my kids still talk about Anita and miss her and her delicious food. We ran into some slight issues when at the house but Alex and Gerry were so quick to address them and really did not affect our stay or experience. The people are amazing and we quickly became fast friends with so many. one of our favorite spots for dinner is a Mexican restaurant in town called El Capricho - excellent margaritas, ceviche, chiliguaro shots! We will definitely be back to visit our friends in Costa Rica and stay in Sandy's place. my family wouldn't have it any other way.
