Beautiful property. Very clean. Wonderful wildlife including birds and iguanas. We walked to the restaurant in about 5 minutes. Rooms were very comfortable.

It was a beautiful place with great space. The pool was fabulous. It could use some maintenance and checking on kitchen equipment.

Great property with wonderful pool and grounds. Great compound for interaction of multiple guests that still are able to maintain their individual private areas due to the large size of the property. Wonderfully prepared full Costa Rican breakfasts each day. Friendly and efficient housekeeper kept the house in order. The property did have multiple maintenance issues that need to be corrected. In short, the property is great and would be an easy five star property with a little tender loving care.

We loved this house. The house itself has lots of character, is very comfortable and a lovely outdoor sitting area. The pool is beautiful and the setting amongst the trees is lovely, we saw some amazing birds, including toucans! Easy walk to the shops and a few local restaurants. It's a bit of a walk to the beach as there is a hill on the way back but it's a 1 min drive and the beach is absolutely divine, it was our favourite beach in Costa Rica. Never crowded, very safe for swimming and a nice family vibe on the beach. If you want more restaurants or shopping, Samara is less than 15 mins down the road. There's also some more secluded beaches within 30/40mins of the house that are not hard to reach even by two wheel drive car. We wished we had more time to explore. Jackie was really great in her communication with us and her tips on driving to the house helped a lot as Google maps is not overly accurate in Costa Rica (loves to take you down a rough dirt road). She also helped us organise an airport transfer for my parents which was great. Mrytha, the housekeeper and breakfast chef was lovely and served up delicious breakfast each day and kept the house spotless. We wished we never had to leave and really hope that we'll be back to this wonderful spot.

The home and property is breathtaking -- we watched monkeys play in the trees while we were eating. Beach is a 10 minute walk - and the beach was quiet and beautiful. The host was so helpful, attentive and so very responsive. Myrtha's breakfast was delicious and she was so wonderful. We WILL be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Oasis (8 adults). Jackie organized our transportation to and from the airport. Breakfast in the mornings was delicious and Martha was flexible with what time we wanted to eat. The restaurants in the area were soooo good that we didn’t even want to go to Samara for dinners like we originally thought we would. There were many minor maintenance issues such as broken screens on upper windows, the safe was broken and knives were very dull but this didn’t really affect our stay. The pool was wonderful and helped us cool off when we got too warm. There was a variety of wildlife that came by to visit including monkeys, raccoons, iguanas and a variety of birds. There were many furnished areas to sit outside and the outdoor furniture was of excellent quality. They guys went fishing with Jackie’s husband Rick and also had a wonderful experience, they even caught a marlin! All the tours we booked were willing to pick us up at the Villa. Overall we had a wonderful stay at Villa Oasis. Jackie was very helpful with information and bookings. She has many local connections and we were very comfortable at her home.

Jacqueline was an incredibly supportive host, setting up tours with really wonderful guides and last minute trips to and from the airport. Hi my friends felt incredibly supported the entire way through the trip. Jermaine great recommendations for bringing in meals, including special meal by Chef Yannii and delicious fresh fish and lobster tacos by Walter. Myrta was a super attentive support with huge, delicious breakfasts and the house was always clean and well kept. The Spanish speakers among us really loved being able to talk and ask questions and she always had the coffee strong and ready when we woke up. The house was perfect for our group setup -- which was a number of single and couple friends with one family where people could have their own private space but easily come together for meals and talking time around the pool, on the porch, and in the living room. And the location was great! Super close to Playa Carrillo, a really short drive to Playa Samara and easy walking access to several restaurants/sodas and a grocery store. We loved our experience and we would go again and stay there again in a heartbeat.

Sorry don't write reviews

Our stay at Villa Oasis was great! The home is lovely, comfortable, and has beautiful grounds. It is even prettier in person! We enjoyed the pool, and its resident iguana, every day. Communication with Jackie was quick, helpful, and friendly from booking to departure. Myrtha greeted us upon arrival, was very welcoming, and gave us a tour of the house, which is well-equipped with everything you might need. And, Myrtha made us a great breakfast every morning of our stay and kept the house spotless! Her daughter was also very sweet. It was very easy to get to the house and we felt very secure. We enjoyed being close to Samara, but also found Carrillo had everything we needed - a few restaurants and markets. Playa Carrillo is easy to get to, has tons of parking, and has beautiful sunsets. Jackie connected us with Brian at Wakaya Tours for a fun side-by-side ATV tour. We really enjoyed that tour - the ATVs are a blast to drive and Brian made us feel very safe through the entire adventure. Jackie also arranged surf lessons for our oldest son at Playa Samara. The beach at Samara was a great place to try surfing and to just to be in the water – gentle surf and shallow water. We also booked a tour at the Jungle Butterfly Farm and thoroughly enjoyed that as well. It was an easy drive from the house, and we were able to go to Camaronal Wildlife Refuge on the same trip. Our family would not hesitate to stay here again!

Pool awesome grill was nice great time overall will definitely be going back

Super nice location with no neighbors from inside the property to be concerned about. We felt secure and secluded. There are restaurants and markets within walking distance and the beach is not too much further. We enjoyed the patio dinning table and pool with a mansion feel. There are separate rooms and a sufficient number of restrooms, including one in the pool area. Some details could be worked on for type "A" people, like a Christmas themed table cloth in July and minor maintenance. Everything else was great and went as expected. Communication with hosts and Myrtha, the on-site person, was great. Myrtha cooked two very good breakfast meals for our large group and was very friendly. Highly recommend!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this spacious home close to the beach. The owner and housekeeper were wonderfully accommodating and easy to work with. We highly recommend!

We had an amazing time! The property is beautiful, roomy, and well appointed. A yummy breakfast provided every morning made us feel spoiled and well taken care of. Also, having housekeeping every day in a VRBO is such a nice treat! We wouldn’t have changed a thing! The host is very responsive, and once we arrived gave us lots of recommendations on things to do and places to eat and nothing disappointed. Playa Carillo has become one of our top beaches of all time! If we ever find ourselves back in Costa Rico, we’d stay here again without hesitation!

I'd love to keep this property all to myself but that would be such an injustice. Jackie has a lovely home, it is well-appointed, has relaxing vibes and is in a wonderful location. The AC in the bedrooms kept us all comfortable as we slept. We spent much of our time at the home out on the deck or in the refreshing pool. Mrytha, the housekeeper, kept the home tidy, did some laundry for us which was super helpful, and even cooked us breakfast! Jackie was an extraordinary host. She offered top-notch recommendations, made reservations for fun activities (surfing & dolphin tour) and her husband hooked mine up with a last-minute wardrobe need. We highly recommend this home and will definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent time here. The pool was the highlight for the grandchildren every day. Jackie was great and easy to communicate with. She set up a dolphin tour for us which was totally worth it. We absolutely loved Myrtha, who made an amazing breakfast for us every morning. We will miss her and her warm personality the most. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants and the corner store. Playa Carrillo is definitely our favourite beach ever. We will cherish the memories from our stay here. Loved every minute!

This is a beautiful property that is well appointed and landscaped, and kept impeccably clean by Myrtha, the housekeeper and breakfast chef. The host, Jackie, checked in every few days to make sure were having fun. She made some suggestions of activities she thought we would enjoy, and let us know when she heard there would be an arribada at Playa Ostional, which we would otherwise not have known and was a highlight of our trip. We also enjoyed her recommended visit to the macaw recovery project and hiking the trails and the beach at nearby Playa Camaronal. Jackie also provided all the foods we liked for breakfast, which included lots of fruit. We made delicious smoothies with the blender that is provided. The pool is very private, and we used it many times per day to cool off, as the house was hot in the afternoons. It is also wonderful at night to float in the pool and look at the stars. Also enjoyed the boogie boards in the gentle surf of Playa Carillo.

Everything was great

We were eight people looking for a stay in Carillo, and we were very fortunate that we selected this spot. Great location, walking distance to a beautiful beach. Convenient stores and restaurants nearby too. Great communication with the landlord. Daily cleaning service and cooked breakfast (delicious!) included… way beyond our expectations. Internet worked great. Pool was refreshing. Very happy overall!

We could not have asked for a better experience. Jackie and Rick were amazing. They went above and beyond to provide everything we needed during our stay. From setting up a fishing excursion, finding a private cook, to answering every question we asked they were there. Myrta made great breakfasts for us every morning, and we really enjoyed meeting her. My kids loved playing with her daughter. Overall an amazing experience!

We highly recommend this property and the place in general. Carrillo is a really good beach to stay and is very closed to Playa Samara were we can find good restaurants.

Everything about our stay was magical. The house was beautiful, spacious, and clean; the grounds were breathtaking, the pool was delightful, and Jackie could not have been a better host. She was so accommodating and went above and beyond every step of the way. We felt like we had our own personal concierge service! She booked an incredible boat excursion for us where we saw tons of dolphins frolicking right next to our boat; she made much appreciated recommendations for activities, sights, and restaurants, and she was so kind and pleasant and truly made us feel like it was her pleasure to make sure we had the best possible experience. And then there is the housekeeper, Myrtha, who also added so much to our stay here by fixing us substantial and delicious breakfasts each morning and then doing some cleaning — again, making us feel like it was her pleasure to serve us. Our family of 6 adults enjoyed our stay so much. We would love to come back to Costa Rica, and if and when we do — we would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our week long stay at this property! We loved the location and the neighborhood. The house and the guesthouse were huge and although there were two families we all had enough privacy and space to enjoy each other. The grounds and view are beautiful. Jackie was so helpful arranging activities for us. She responded immediately and was willing to do anything to make our week great. This was our first trip after covid and it was a wonderful getaway!

We had an excellent experience at Villa Oasis - my family, including two children under age 3, stayed for a week and had a lovely time! The home was great, clean, spacious, quiet, and had a great pool and outdoor with lots of wildlife visitors we saw during our time, such as howler monkeys, iguanas, and lovely birds. There was also a box of sand and water toys for our kids to play with in the pool and at the beach. Mirtha’s presence made our trip stand out from other visits we’ve had to Costa Rica, as she made great breakfasts for us every day and cleaned the kitchen and bed/bathrooms, helped to connect us with a local fisherman to buy some red snapper one day, and just answered many little questions like where the safest place on the beach would be for my littles to get in the ocean, etc. Her daughter is also lovely and loved playing with my two small children in the mornings. This was our first time staying in Playa Carrillo and we really enjoyed the town - it is a great quiet and accessible town for families - the beach is great with lots of shade and a calm cove near the big rock that is safe for children to play in the water. Jackie was a lovely host - she checked in with us frequently, and was beyond helpful in helping me to coordinate our covid testing requirements for reentry into the states - a local laboratory actually came to the house and tested our whole group for us one morning - so wonderful! I would highly recommend a stay here! We hope to return again soon. :-)

Our group of 6 people (3 couples) had an amazing time at Villa Oasis! The house and adjoining apartment made for a very comfortable stay with more than enough room for everyone to relax and unwind! The pool was beautiful and perfect to escape the sun and heat. The owner Jackie was the perfect host, always quick to respond to our questions and with lots of great recommendations to make sure we had a great stay. Her housekeeper, Merta was an added bonus making breakfast and keeping everything clean! We would definitely recommend staying at Villa Oasis when visiting Costa Rica!

We spent 8 days at this property ! We loved it! Very spacious . Loved location and pool was amazing. ( we did wish the waterfall would of ran more than just a few hours a day) Jacque was awesome to work with to say the least!!! She helped us schedule a tour and gave us some local this gs to do!! We were also caught in an accident coming in from San Jose and was extremely late getting in, but was greeted my Maritz with a smile ! One of the air conditioning units went out which was beyond anyone’s control and she had the men there fixing it bright and early one morning. Breakfast was amazing also! We love this property and would highly recommend!!!!!
