We were lucky to stumble upon this listing on VRBO. A friend of mine went to Playa Negra over the winter break and highly recommended the area. I booked this house to travel to the same area for a week at the end of March 2023. We traveled with my four kids and another family. The house is better in person and the photos online are ahhhmazing! The house has a ton of space, the outdoor area is gorgeous, the views are stunning, the people we met were so nice, the pool is fantastic - there really isn't one negative I can say. If you are lucky to get this house, you will not be disappointed.

Our group of 8 had a fantastic stay at this villa which was even more stunning in real life than the pictures suggest. Our host, Juan Pablo, went above and beyond with helping to coordinate services and answering questions before we even arrived. This included transportation, golf carts, and very useful suggestions on where to get groceries, etc. While we were there, he was incredibly responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. Juan Pablo truly elevated our overall experience through his efforts. The location of the Villa was perfect for us (wedding nearby) and having direct access to an amazing beach was really special. Sunsets, endless stars at night, a large & clean swimming pool, comfortable beds…..the list of positives is a long one. We highly recommend this property because it exceeded our (already high) expectations.

It's hard to overstate what a magical experience we have just had at this beautiful home in Playa Negra. We were a large group of 11 -- including children, teens, and adults -- in search of the ideal base for a week of exploring this sleepy surf town. We found everything we wanted in this gorgeous house and in the extraordinary care of Juan Pablo, its gracious homeowner. First of all, the house is immaculate and still NOT a bit precious. You can see from the pictures that nearly every room is ocean facing, allowing for vistas and cool breezes, and an easy in/out flow. We had ample space to hang out together and find our privacy when we wanted it. The outdoor spaces were perfect for swimming, doing yoga, sunbathing, cooking and eating, and enjoying cocktails (on the rooftop deck). No detail is overlooked -- from the organic soaps in the bathrooms to the quality of the linens to the well-organized kitchen. Juan Pablo took great care of us, acting as our personal concierge. He set up surf lessons, sailing, a local in-home chef; provided restaurant and shopping suggestions; addressed any concern we had immediately; and ensured the house was cleaned daily by two expert housekeepers. Truly, we were torn between pursuing activities outside the house and simply staying put -- enjoying every sunrise and sunset is an activity (and a photographer's dream) on its own. As a group, we have traveled pretty extensively and rented often through VRBO. This experience was singular in so many ways -- the house is beautiful and in such a perfect location. AND, the homeowner was so generous in his care of us. In most rentals, we never see the homeowner, much less interact with him or her. Sometimes, property managers were remote or even unresponsive. By contrast, Juan Pablo was genuinely interested in our having a really amazing time in this home -- which he built and cares for -- in a place he loves. Truly, my only regret in writing this gushing review is that when we look to rent this house again in the future, it will be booked for years to come.

The property is really amazing from the architecture to the views to its location !! Juan pablo and Dalmatia performed an incredible work they focused on many detail For an great and relaxing stay . The feeling is great and you enjoy the buenas ondas and the true pura vida feeling!!!
