We spent 3 nights at the villa. Two families with teens. The Villa is amazing in terms of amenities and views. The outdoor living space feels like something you would expect at a resort with the thatched roof. Plenty of space and can’t think of anything we needed that they didn’t have in terms of cooking supplies (pans, cutlery, bowls, etc) Not much in terms of wildlife except for birds but sounds and sights were wonderful. 4X4 definitely a must and get food/supplies before arriving as town is close but still 30 min round trip. Would highly recommend

The property itself is immaculate. It was much more than we expected. Yami was lovely and discreet. The only frustrating bit was the location and travelling in and out of town to get to the property as it was a little far from any amenities and required 4x4 for the very steep mountain side. If you plan to stay at the villa most of the time, this is the perfect spot for you. It is very challenging to get an uber or taxi willing to come out to the property either because it’s too far or they don’t have 4x4. So be prepared to drive everywhere yourself or spend a good chunk of money to hire a personal driver with 4x4. Beyond the transportation, this property is so so worth it! Had a great time!

If you want a place to go to relax and be away from all the hubbub this place is perfect. The pictures do not do it justice one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed

This was truly a fantastic vacation. The views were amazing, and howler monkey were around almost everyday. The property was very spacious and wide open so that all guest could spread out and enjoy their own space. Yani and Wilder did a great job of taking care of the property, and Claire was very prompt at answering any questions we had. One important note, a 4x4 vehicle is definitely needed to access this property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool and outdoor area were 5 star luxury. Master bedroom is ginormous. Great location as it’s only a short 10 minute drive to Tamarindo. The sunsets were incredible. Definitely need a 4x4 ….the last 100’ is steep but nothing a 4x4 can’t handle easily.

Our family of four stayed at this property for five nights. It is a beautiful area with a beautiful view. House was wonderful, with comfortable bedrooms and a great kitchen. We loved the pool and patio areas, and the house staff, Yamileth and Wilder, were great. The property contact, Mila, was great to work with and very helpful throughout the process. I agree that guests need a 4x4 to make it up the road to the house, but with a 4x4, it is easily manageable. Would definitely recommend this property.

We had a beautiful time!! Thank you for everything! My husband, kids and I throughly enjoyed every moment of this amazing house and property. With such a short ride to several area beaches, it was the perfect, quiet, peaceful place!! And the view was spectacular!!

The listing is as advertised and past reviews are accurate. Our family truly enjoyed our stay here. It was like our own private resort. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer. It's a great location to get to most of the nearby beaches within 20-45 minutes and a great place to return to rest, relax, cook and enjoy the great sunsets. The spaces are large and luxurious and the house staff arrived daily to clean the house and maintain the pool. On the last day, our host kindly agreed to have house staff arrive later in the morning (even though it was our check out day) so we could enjoy our last morning at the house on our own.

Would give it 6 stars if I could. The property is stunning and offers every comfort we could have desired. The pool, outdoor seating, kitchen, bedrooms… all of them met or exceeded our expectations in every way. Nammy and Wilder are available but very discreet and able to help with any household need. It is out of the way (20min from Tamarindo) and does require a true 4WD vehicle for the final 400meters. If you desire privacy, peace and quiet, and easy access to beaches if wanted, Villa Kanda is the place. This is a slice of heaven and we are already planning our return!

The perfect place for a getaway. Sunsets are amazing, the breeze was great and welcome. Very friendly staff, our group highly recommends this property.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Caroline is a fantastic, attentive host. The property is beautiful and the sunsets with the ocean view are breathtaking. Having Yemmi around daily to help keep things tidy definitely contributed to the relaxation. She is very discreet and friendly. We hired a chef recommended by Caroline to cook us a meal in the house and it was absolutely delicious and high quality. We would stay here again and have already recommended to friends.

We stayed at this property after a week at a different property on the beach. We enjoyed this one better. The layout of the house is fantastic. The kitchen wall completely opens to the fantastic entertaining area and view. We spent most of our time in the pool and lounging under the palapa reading and talking and enjoying cocktails. The staff and management was easy to communicate with and very friendly and accommodating. Be certain that you need a 4wheel drive like they say. The last few hills are extremely steep but it’s worth it when you see the view! We learned to communicate with the monkeys nearby and enjoyed watching them make their trek down the hill every morning. We would stay again - hopefully next year.

The house is a little difficult to access (must have true 4-WD vehicle), but was otherwise just like the pictures. Great view of the valley and Pacific Ocean in the distance. Very secluded and quiet. Lots of wildlife nearby with various insects (including scorpions), birds, howler monkeys and lizards & iguanas. If you don’t like bugs then probably should stay in a city, but we found them very interesting. Just be warned, that there are a lot of insects, including scorpions around the house. My son was stung on his thigh while sitting in the kitchen but stings are not poisonous, just like a bee sting that hurt for about 30 minutes. The kitchen is rough around the edges and would benefit from updating along with new pans, cooking utensils and sharp knives. We did a lot of cooking and that would have been much appreciated. That being said, most things we needed were there, just very beat up. (This is coming from three people who cook a lot and are probably pickier than most). All in all, we had a fantastic time sitting outside all day and well into there night. We used the pool several times each day an lived it! The beds are very comfortable and the housekeeper even did our laundry a few times. We would definitely stay there again. Would just bring a few of my own knives like I’ve heard some professional chefs do. Overall, fabulous vacation destination!

The arrival to the property is easy if you go on a 4WD car, the location is very secure (gated community), the house is fully equipped, and with very spacious areas !!!

We absolutely loved this home. It had everything we needed for a wonderful week in Costa Rica. We were a little nervous about the staff being there but we quickly realized they were very discrete and kept the home looking amazing.We even had fresh juice/coffee prepared for us each morning. The outdoor living space was perfect for lounging in the day or evening. Caroline, our host, was by far the best host we've had at any property. She was kind enough to arrange for our COVID tests to be done at the home. She also arranged massages for our group (she owns a massage studio) at the house and they were fantastic. Don't hesitate to stay here!

We had a great stay and as soon as we got in we felt like we were home ! We stayed 3 weeks in this you would definitely not do in a hotel.The house is on a top of a hill and very quit you definitely need a 4x4 . Caroline is a great manager and the couple taking care of the house are discreet and helpful.
