Stunning beach just steps away! Lovely accommodations with private pool. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. Quiet. Staff very friendly. Fantastic restaurant. Great bird watching, snorkling and swimming. Howler monkeys. Had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

Wonderful townhouse with gorgeous setting. Ocean views, private pool, fairly close to town. Stock up on groceries cuz the kitchen is great and the on-site restaurant is pretty spendy. Be sure to get massage and go on tours recommended by reception area. We had a car and liked going to Coco Beach. The catamaran tour was great. Rainforest tour was a show stopper. Will be back.

We had an amazing time at a fantastic property! The property was clean and very well appointed. You couldn’t ask for a more picturesque setting, with a private pool and ocean just a few steps away. The host was fantastic and coordination of activities with on-site personnel was a snap. Hope to be going back again!

Absolutely beautiful location, great fit for our family group. Loved the Villa amenities, cleanliness, space and vibe. Beach was beautiful. Saw the howler monkeys every day. Host sent wonderful detailed 20page info document about the area and was very responsive to emails. Cannot even remotely think of anything that could have improved our stay.

We loved the beach and pool. The villa is very spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The views are beautiful and the water was so warm. The patio couches and inside couches are worn but we did not mind. Kitchen is updated. Floats and snorkel masks would have been a great addition. Cesar and Jacky are the best at helping with your visit. The restaurant food was very good but for every visit allow an hour plus to receive food. Drinks were good and staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, we chose to skip eating there at the end due to the long wait after ordering. The grounds are pristine and very clean. We would highly recommend our villa and this location. Be prepared for bumpy roads and you will need to arrange drivers for transportationWe did not get a car and loved having transportation set up by Cesar or Jacky. The beach is public but not very crowded due to location .Our personal pool was worth it, truly pure vida!

The house is everything promised to be. As part of a resort there is easy access to amenities such as a top notch restaurant and bar. The staff arranged for us to go kayaking along the coast which added to the glory of the beach, sun, ocean and pools. The location is both remote yet close enough to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended! Our host was very attentive to our needs. Finally villa 4 has its own small pool which is a bonus and it’s is right on the beach and n ar bar/restaurant. View and ocean sounds spectacular.

Hard to describe with words. Beautiful natural beach, combined with a private swimming pool and views of tropical birds and howler monkeys from the deck. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

My family of four (w/ 7yr old and 9yr old) thoroughly enjoyed our 12 day trip. The villa was as described. In fact, the photos don't do it justice. The beach is right there which provides an unobstructed view and easy access. The villa was clean and comfortable. It has everything we needed including modern appliances like the dishwasher and washer/dryer. Bedrooms are a nice size, plenty of closet space, and comfy beds. Two of the three bedrooms provide breathtaking views of the pool and beach. The master has a deck and bathroom. The pool was great. Nice temperature and regularly cleaned during our stay. Pool depth ranged from 3-5ft. Pool lounge chairs and a few pool toys were provided. You may want to bring/purchase more toys for the kids to keep them entertained. So many animals around the villa to admire - including mapaches, howler monkeys, lizards, iguanas, all types of birds. We had regular visitors during our stay. Our kids even named them! 15 mins from Coco. Definitely recommend renting a car to get around. You can't walk. But beware of some challenging terrain, especially approching the terrain. The mosquitoes and ants were pests but that was expected. Everyone we met at the resort were wonderful. Cesar and Jacky were great to deal with. They were very responsive but not overbearing. They helped with our rental car, answered any questions we had during the stay, and booked our excursions. Great trip!

All of the reviews are spot on. Perfect for our family of 4, but can surely accommodate more. We were the envy of our neighbors with the private, infinity pool. Being able to snorkel at the beach 50 ft from the home then come back and relax in the pool was the perfect combination. Inside and out, Villa 4 was everything we needed. LaRaye was so quick to respond to every question and the check in/check out process was seamless. The property is great because it has the restaurant within a 30 second walk and is so close to ocotel and coco beach. You can even take the short cut to ocotel during low ride across the rocks. We found the best snorkeling at this beach. It was like being in an aquarium. Great location, great property, and an ideal setting. We will be back.

Thank you so much for sharing your magical villa with us. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable. The pool, view, and location were amazing. LaRaye, your 18 page information sheet was invaluable! Thank you so much for sharing so many details we didn’t even know we needed. We will be back. The Therrien’s

This is our 4th time at Bahia Pez Villa but our first time in Villa #4 and it did not disappoint. We obviously love coming to the area, the people, the resort itself - all beautiful and perfect. Don't hesitate to visit! Specifically about Villa #4: Location - The location couldn't be more perfect. It's on the very front row of the Villa's meaning you have direct beach and beach club access. You can walk out of your back door and onto the beach or over to the restaurant/pool area. I've stayed higher up once before and I will pick the front group every single time if I can get it. It's 100% worth it. Inside: Everything was perfect. The decor had been updated, the kitchen and all areas were well stocked with things we needed, there wasn't a time I looked for something that I would've expected to be there and couldn't find it. Beds were very comfortable, nice sized washer and dryer. Back patio: The pool is a very nice touch. While the clubhouse has a nice pool and it's very walkable from the villa, it was so nice to be able to hang out at the house and some be in the pool. I think the teenagers got in every single night. Communication: The communication with the owner couldn't have been better. Everything went smooth, was laid out well and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I book VRBO's around the world and this was one of the easiest to work with. Highly recommend everything about staying here!

This place exceeded all expectations. From the start instructions and information provided before we even left for our trip were clear and helpful. The check in process was seamless. Prior to arrival we reached out to the concierge on site, Cesar, who was amazing and set up airport transfers, a rental car, and tours for our stay. He and Abi were super helpful during our stay, made our vacation that much better. The home is as described and very clean. The views are incredible and the beach is almost in the back yard. We were able to see birds, crabs and howler monkeys from the house. The complex is not large and was pretty quiet during our stay. The staff at the restaurant were always friendly and the food and drinks excellent. We had smaller children and very safe and comfortable staying at this place. We would absolutely stay here again, was an amazing place for a family vacation.

The other great reviews are spot on. This unit is the best- has its own pool, is right on the ocean, and is very private. The kitchen is very well stocked, the bathrooms are clean and updated, and overall I can’t think of any concerns we had. We enjoyed several restaurants in town (including Masala Indian Restaurant and Sabor a Mexico, both excellent). It was easy to pop into town for groceries or restaurants and then head back to the condo in this quiet, uncrowded area with the calm beach that we often had to ourselves. We did snorkel a bit and took two kayaks out which was fun- the ocean is so calm and blue at this beach. It was a beautiful stay. We hope to be back.

It was a wonderful stay and cannot say enough about the location. Literally 50 paces from the beach. The cleanliness as well as the people in the office responding quickly to anything we needed and LaRaye was amazing. Highly recommend this rental.

We had a wonderful stay at LaRaye’s beautiful home. The home is in a beautiful gated community and has the best location. The home has everything you need and more. It was fantastic to come home after exploring for the day and to be able to relax in the pool. We enjoyed eating our meals on the patio and listening to the sound of the waves. Thank you LaRaye for making your home available and for making everything easy and enjoyable.

The “villa” is located in a very magical spot…the views, surroundings and the resort staff/service as well as the restaurant are extremely special! This is just one of those places that stands out…not because of “typical luxury” but for its simplicity (so easy to snorkel, swim in mild clear ocean waters and then swim and relax in your private pool —-within an hour!!—and without getting in a car!!!). The Villa is just as described and pictured…the kitchen has everything you could need! The owners comprehensive notes and suggestions should be heeded…we went on several excursions she recommended and they were spectacular! We hope to return!!!

The communication was Outstanding and Accurate to a T! We were treated like royalty Property description was spot on! Thank You Very Much !!

The minute we walked into LaRaye's beautiful villa, we knew we made the right decision. It was paradise!! Our very own private pool right outside and 50 yards to the magnificence of the ocean. It truly was heavenly and we can't wait to go back. The villa was well appointed and had everything we needed and LaRaye's thorough directions and suggestions of where to go made it a breeze to navigate things. Each bedroom had enough space for everyone in our party (me, my husband, our 3 year old daughter, nanny, and her godparents) to feel like they could spread out and really enjoy themselves. We loved being able to have our own pool but head to the beach when we wanted. We rented a car (which I would recommend) so could easily head into town when we wanted as well. It was the perfect base to explore from and wonderful to come back to our own space with full kitchen. We saw howler monkeys in the trees, colorful birds, the precious little raccoon family and lots of sealife. Thanks, LaRaye, for sharing your amazing space with us and we hope you'll have us back! Pura vida!

We had a great time at the place. It was really comfortable and the private pool was amazing. I never made it to the other pool. Highly recommend if you want to be in the coco area.

VILLA #4 and the entire resort was absolutely spectacular. Well-appointed and comfortable. And the private pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean is something you dream about. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and it won't be the last.

Beautiful property in beautiful location. Loved every day here.

The property was pretty well as described. The house is not as secluded as we had hoped and (some noisy) people would walk up to the pool to check it out. Additionally, the grounds between the pool and the ocean must be the only level green area (it became a soccer field). Overall great house and you can't anticipate rude people. For anyone's information, U. S. Cellular does not work in Costa Rica. You will have to get a Kolbi sim card.

Es un lugar mágico, con mucha tranquilidad, excelente ubicación y la villa muy bien cuidada. Realmente lo disfrutamos

This was our second visit to Costa Rica, but first time to this area. We are so glad we chose LaRaye’a property. It met all of our needs. My husband and I traveled with our young adult children and their significant others. Everyone was comfortable, it was so amazing to have both the pool and the beach within steps. We really appreciated not having to drive to visit the beach, as we did on our last trip. We definitely utilized the kitchen, as we usually only ate out once a day, if that. The kitchen was well equipped, and the blender was great. We used it to make a lots of drinks with all the amazing fresh fruit. It is close enough to Coco, so that you can get what you need, but far enough away, so you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle.

Bahia Pez Vela is an amazing place to stay. Unit #4 has a great view of the ocean and is right on the edge of the forest. See howler monkeys, mapaches, tiger herons, iguanas, and other wildlife all while sitting by very nice pool on the back patio. The resort staff goes out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible whether it is getting groceries, setting up excursions, getting a taxi, or dinner reservations. Whatever you need they will be sure to help. Maracuya Beach Club has great food and even better staff. I was standing on the beach and a server walked down to check and see if I needed another drink. Always doing everything they can to make sure you are taken care of. Highly recommended!!!

We were delighted to return to this property. We were here 3 years ago and it's still wonderful. The owners provide a great information packet, the property manager, Cesar was so helpful arranging excursions. The on property dining was fabulous. Property staff was wonderful assisting with beach chairs, kayaks and dining on the beach. The pool at the unit was private and pictures are very accurate. Loved every minute!

This property was everything we were expecting. Super clean, steps to the beach, relaxing pool, and all the necessities stocked and ready for us when we arrived. We will be back again someday!

Every morning I was up early to read while listening to multiple types of birds, holler monkeys and ocean waves. After reading a morning swim/snorkel was filled with good visibility and many fish. One day saw a spotted eagle sting ray. The pictures of the house are great but even better in person. House cooled well for hot days. Easy check in. Even though house has its own pool kids loved to explore other pools on complex. The owner is extremely helpful and even wrote a 22 page info packet to guide for a better experience. Quick drive from airport. The black sand beach was almost completely ours. At night hermit crabs were all over the beach. The restaurant on-site had really good food and service. Took a boat to another beach to snorkel in the mangroves and play with white faced capuchin monkeys. Catamaran ride back saw sting rays and dolphins. The city of Coco is close and kids loved to shop there and eat. Ages 11, 10, 9 and 3. Every where we ate we overall enjoyed. Made easy quick trips to grocery stores. Recommend fruit stands for fruit. So much to do we ran out of time. Highly recommend staying here. Pool was beautiful and a few steps in smooth grass to ocean that is otherwise calm. Property staff super helpful. US requires return covid testing and they make us very easy. 60 dollars a person though. And magpie birds would land on our arms and eat from our hands. You will not regret Villa 4.

With two teen kids (13, 17) and myself, we had a fabulous week at Vela 4 in Bahia de Pez. The house was immaculate, including grill, pool area. The kitchen had everything you could ever want or need. The location is just perfect. You are literally practically on the beach while sitting by the pool or having morning coffee on the veranda off the master bedroom. we had plenty of space and a perfect mixture of exploring the amazing beaches and rain forest, with, being sloth like and indulging in this amazing villa. The guidance in the welcoming packet is so thorough and accurate. We knew where to shop, where to eat, and even where to get our required COVID test prior to returning to the US. As for Costa Rica! We fell in love. The Tico people. The beauty, the ease of getting around. Just amazing. I hope to be back with my college age son next time so he too can enjoy this amazing place on earth.

A couple little things came up the host took care of them and more! We would highly recommend this place can’t wait to come back ourselves!

The villa was beautiful. Fabulous view and amazing location right on the beach and close to town and great restaurants. Just the right size for our family of 5. Spacious kitchen and nice new bathrooms. A/C worked well in each of the rooms. Owner provided lots of extras around the house like sand toys, beach mats, coolers, reusable bags for grocery shopping etc. Owners recommendations write up was also very helpful for first time visitors to the area. Mid-week maid service never arrived for our 7 night stay which was a little disappointing. Maybe this was a covid issue? The concierge was unresponsive via email leading up to the trip, but very helpful once we were at the resort. One other thing to note if considering this location for February is that it is the windiest month. Wind was howling for 5 of our 7 days there, but the skies were clear with not a drop of rain and 90 degrees everyday. Overall, loved our stay and would return again for sure!

We had a beautiful stay at this villa! From the private pool to the quiet beach just steps away it was the perfect peaceful getaway I was looking for. The concierge staff was super helpful with planning day trips as well. Would def recommend this stay to a friend!
