The house is well appointed and has an incredible view. Centrally located in Santa Teresa with easy access to shopping, restaurants and beach. Instant booking was also a bonus with this property as other houses in the area were difficult to confirm. A+ experience with Selva Resort

We couldn’t have picked a better choice to stay in Santa Teresa! Villa Ebony is entirely private, but perfectly located in the jungle above beautiful Santa Teresa town. The villa's unique location provides a breath-taking panoramic view and roar of the Pacific Ocean below, whilst an elevated view of exotic jungle nature of Costa Rica can be seen. The location is the best in Santa Teresa, and we easily walked to any of the LOVELY beaches and spectacular restaurants in the area. Exotic wildlife, such as iguanas, monkeys, etc, can be enjoyed from simply chilling out in almost any area of the open-view accommodation, or while swimming in the infinity pool. Exotic singing birds made the days blissful and brought us pure joy. Sam, the owner, and his staff are all beyond gracious and accommodating. They made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Sam and his staff were very helpful of the area and recommendations on yoga and surf classes, dining, horse-back riding, etc… The accommodation provides a spectacular open panoramic view with elevated rooms as we experienced a floating sensation above the Pacific Ocean. The porch deck is extremely huge and was a fantastic area to chill out and enjoy the view while swimming in the pool, practicing yoga, dancing, or simply relaxing to the sounds of exotic wildlife. The villa was luxurious and the AC was invaluable. We were amazed by the varied collection of worldwide modern art in the villa. The rooms were super clean and stocked with plentiful things we needed. The beds were superbly comfortable, and we enjoyed the spectacular jungle showers. The villa has a luxurious infinity pool, blending perfectly with the Pacific Ocean, and in which you enjoyed swimming while watching an iguana pass by. The kitchen and living room areas were perfect in size and more than fully equipped. We enjoyed having home-made cocktails and fresh juices while experiencing the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. The villa has a parking area for a car or ATV, which we highly needed in order to move around Santa Teresa. Many thanks for the best stay, we will definitely come back!!

Every single one of the guests was yelled at by the owner including myself on two of our 3 days of stay. I had one of his employees come up to tell me he is underpaid, yelled at and what not. I witnessed him making his employee climb to a window through a very unsafe path with a more than 4 meter drop if he made one wrong move. No harness and climbing through metal ledges. Another story that I heard from his employee was that he was forcing people to drink not properly treated water to test if it was ok. Eventually the employee ended up sick according to the story. Eventually, while staying there, I ended up being more aware than usual given the odd behavior from this person. I do not think he was mentally sane. I stayed at the place because I did not want to loose my money and or waste days of vacations. The only thing that was OK was the physical premises. Sadly according to customer service from VRBO, they only guarantee acquiring a place to stay.
