Perfect gem of a place!

Our family of 5 stayed here for 8 days in June. Before booking, I had looked at so many different places but I'm SO incredibly glad we booked this one. The setting is truly the prettiest beach we visited and we went all over Northwest Costa Rica on our trip. The view from the deck is breathtaking, and the space was perfect for our family of five. The pictures of the condo don't do it justice - it is just gorgeous inside and out. We had coffee on the deck each morning, had a clear view down to the beach where our kids swam daily, and fell asleep each night to the sounds of the ocean. We visited during the off-season, so the beach and pool steps away felt private for us. We had several meals at the restaurant next door and every single dish was delicious. Eating there can get a little costly for a family of five, so we were so happy to have the full kitchen in the villa stocked with everything we needed to make our own meals. Al was so helpful with his communication before and during our stay. He helped me set up airport transportation and connected me with Marbely in the restaurant to set up a special dinner for my husband for Father's Day. He answered all my questions quickly. He also helped us get a rental car delivered to the villa, which I'm glad we did on this first trip to better see the area (although Cesar will help set up excursions that pick you up right outside the condo.) This is just a perfect gem of a place for your Costa Rican vacation.

Amazing stay! Would definitely stay again.

This is an absolutely beautiful home. The beach was lovely. We swam in the ocean every day. The home owners made the stay as easy as could be. They provided lists of nearby activities, put us in contact with drivers, car rentals, anything we needed. We booked a fishing excursion through Cesar in the office. It was so easy and the boat picked us up right on the beach! The home is equipped with everything you need. Water floaties, containers for your left overs, soaps and shampoos, etc. I could go on. You simply can't go wrong renting this villa!

A Slice of Paradise

Bahia Pez Vela is a beautiful resort, and Villa Mariposa was as much as we ever expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the excursion opportunities in the area. Cesar and his team were very helpful and accommodating, and we can't say enough good things about how we were treated. Also the food at Soluna was excellent. Overall, we give our experience a "10". We would love to come back some time.

Villa Mariposa, #10

We had a wonderful week at Villa #10, at Bahia Pez Vela Resort. The location, steps from both the striking black sand beach and the resort’s pools and charming restaurant, was ideal. The resort has a friendly family oriented feel. Our hosts Alvin and Carolanne were exceptionally helpful and responsive. Snorkelling right off the beach was very enjoyable. We would heartily recommend Villa #10….and hope to return ourselves!

Absolutely Stunning View

House was lovely, clean and well appointed. The patio is comfy and has such an amazing view you will not want to be inside. Just a few steps away from the secluded black sand beach. The on site restaurant serves delicious food, has a nice ambiance and wonderful customer service. We will most certainly be returning.

Amazing memories made

We had an amazing experience! We came with our 2 daughters, 20 and 15, and everyone had plenty of space. The villa was very clean with plenty of towels and linens. The kitchen had plenty of space and everything you needed to cook. It was close to the nearby town for shopping and restaurants. We did several excursions and had transportation provided that picked us up at our villa. We would recommend this villa 100%!

Vacation in Paradise

If a trip to Costa Rica is on your “ bucket list” and you want to stay in a community that is safe, secure and overwhelmingly beautiful, look no further. The Bahia Pez Vela Beach Resort is located on its own private beach about 35 minutes east of the Liberia airport. There is no need to rent a car, the owner of Villa #10 will help you to arrange transportation from the airport with a stop at the supermarket in Coco Beach to pick up groceries en route to your villa. The owners of Bahia Pez Vela #10 are the most helpful rental hosts that we have ever dealt with. They supplied us with wonderful recommendations for tours and restaurants and general travel information about Costa Rica that was very helpful. The oceanfront condo is really beautiful and is meticulously maintained. We really appreciated the proximity to the pool and the restaurant. Steps lead directly from the condo to both the pool area and the beach. The restaurant has excellent food. While we were there in early July, there was live music once a week and specialty nights twice weekly. The property is quiet, private and a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The interior spaces of the villa are thoughtfully furnished and very comfortable. The patio is an extension of the living spaces and the shaded sitting area makes for wonderful ocean viewing even in the brief rainy season downpours. Howler monkeys can be heard in the trees on the surrounding hillsides. Don’t think twice! Villa #10 is amazing.

Costa Rican X-Mas 2022

The property was in a gorgeous beachfront location. Check in and out was easy, villa was well appointed, had everything you might need to visit any beaches, coolers, beach towels, etc. Owners put up Christmas tree for us and we had such a wonderful vacation, would definitely book again. Rooms and bed were comfortable, full kitchen and amenities, beautiful dining room area, comfortable lanai facing beach. Maracuya beach club right next door. Our family of 6 had a wonderful Christmas vacation here. Location was close to Los Cocos area, shopping, beaches, supermarkets, and lots of restaurants and souvenir shops as well as excursions. Diamante Eco Adventure Park was 1 hr and 20 min away, Playas del Coco and its malecon (boardwalk), just 10 min away and Marina Del Rey for Catamaron tours has a destination from Playas del Coco also. Playa Hermosa just 20 min away, Llanos del Cortez waterall just 1 hr and half away. Owners were super helpful with our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. Loved our first Costa Rican vacation.

There is a restaurant on site for lunch and dinner and for afternoon cocktails by the pool the staff is very gracious.

Could Not Be Better

This property is simply wonderful; we plan to come back in the future. The floor plan is great for a family, the kitchen is well set up for longer stays and cooking, the beds are comfortable, the AC works well, the resort staff is terrific, and the communication with the host is great too. We had issues with the wifi at the start of the stay but the owner got it sorted out quickly. It is now great and can handle multiple video calls. The views are unmatched! I appreciated the high latches on (all but one of) the doors, as it helped keep little kids away from the water when unsupervised. The road to the resort is bumpy, and it takes about 20 mins to drive to Coco, but you'll just want to stay here in paradise. The amazing shared pool at the terrific restaurant is next door, which is super convenient. If you want only silence, you should know you'll hear some music from the restaurant until about 9pm a couple days a week. This did not bother us at all, it added to our fun. The beach was good for little kids; some days it was a bit too rough and some days it was fine. We saw a whale once and dolphins a couple times, and howler monkeys in the trees of course. Generally our stay could not have been better. This property is beyond recommended.

What an amazing property!

Stunning property! Was fortunate to spend a nice stretch of our vacation here. The view is breathtaking. Property is very clean and well maintained, and as pictured on VRBO site. On-site staff was extremely helpful during our stay, always smiling and eager to help. Similarly, the owner was easily contacted and responsive when we needed assistance. I was a bit worried that being located next to restaurant and pool it might be noisy. It was not noisy in the least, and being able to eat at the restaurant just a few steps away was awesome. This is a great property run by great people. Just book it!

So clean, interior even nicer than pictures. The view is gorgeous. I think this unit is the best location on the entire property, tucked away yet steps to the pool and restaurant and the beach.

The Villa is amazing and the view from the deck is breathtaking. We had coffee on the patio every morning enjoying the view. The staff at the restaurant are so nice and service is great. We took the mixology class one afternoon with Mauricio (spelling?) he was a great mixologist and the class was a blast!

Couldn’t ask for more

From the get go the villa owner and the resort management made the process simple and helpful. The villa right on the beach,, steps to private quaint beach and resort pool and restaurant. Must drive to get anywhere else but like the other reviews say, Coco beach (larger but no overly populated) is 3 miles away. You can certainly walk or bike, the locals do, just be warned it’s basically Marshall law ;) This only adds to the experiment though! We have been all over the world and this was one of our top vacations by far! Definitely a 10!

A Villa in Paradise

Family vacation over Christmas with 4 adult children. Everything about the Villa was perfect: property, unit, amenities. We LOVED it. I literally cannot think of what would have made it better. Although within a 'resort' we felt we had ample privacy due to the orientation of the villa. Due to the topography of the bay, the beach was basically a private one. Just fantastic all way around. Would return and would highly recommend to others.

What makes this property unique
