Our stay was amazing! Would highly recommend this house near tamarindo. We are a family of 10 with 5 children. The house was perfect for our size. The daily housekeeper Jimena was so sweet. Joel was very responsive and helpful to make our stay memorable. We could tell how much the owner wanted us to have the best time! The community is beautiful and great to take walks and explore. Always felt safe and everyone was friendly. So much to do without needing to drive far. Beaches were phenomenal. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to costa rica. Thank you Joel for everything. All of the kids said this was the best vacation and best house!

Our stay at Villa la Selva was excellent! The house has everything you need and is in a beautiful neighborhood that felt very private and very safe. We even saw a family of monkeys climbing trees in the backyard which was really cool! Joel was extremely proactive and had excellent recommendations even connecting us with a private chef who came to the Villa and cooked a beautiful dinner for us. We enjoyed breath taking sunset dinners at Pangas and Lola’s right on the beach—the food and drinks were delicious. JW Marriot is right around the corner from the Villa and is a place you should check out during your stay. Top shelf experience for us all the way around. We will definitely be back!
