Costa Rica’s Hidden Gem!

Stunning spacious villa with every amenity you could need! Overlooking the ocean, the views can’t be beat! Resort complex is quaint, very well maintained with beautiful flowers and foliage- nature surrounds you! Howler monkeys were even on site! The mountainous terrain was great for exercising in paradise! The black sand beach is protected in a cove which makes it feel so private and special! Ocean was a perfect combination of beauty and calmness for swimming and fun!! Staff was very friendly and helpful and the ability to book any amazing adventure trip directly through the resort made it so convenient and easy to create the trip of a lifetime!! The onsite restaurant located by the pool and steps to the beach had phenomenal fresh food and drinks and wonderful friendly staff! Neil and Verda are hosts to be emulated! Excellent communication - extremely helpful wonderful people! We can’t wait to recommend this special place to our friends and family!! Thank you again Neil and Verda!!!

R&R in a lovely, fully stocked condo

Condo is immaculately clean & fully stocked. View is wonderful. Black sand beach is quiet and relaxing, saw 10 people at most all day. Be aware you do need a car. While the beach & pool are a quick 2 min. coast down the road, the road is extremely steep & would be a challenging return walk. Concierge is very friendly & helpful. Good restaurants close by. Easy to cook in if you desire. This is close to Liberia airport, be prepared to see a lot of Americans. We had a wonderful time, no complaints at all!

Immaculate property

Beautiful property with expansive view of the ocean. Neil and Verda the owners were immediately responsive with any question we had. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. Everything was super clean (I’m super picky about this!) and beds were comfortable. We stayed for the month of February and had a wonderful time - you won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful Week

Our family had a wonderful week at Verda and Neil’s villa, the Flying V. The view was outstanding, the villa was as advertised, extremely roomy, comfortable, nicely appointed, and well stocked. The onsite Beach Club and restaurant were lovely. Soluna food was very good and not overpriced. We booked two tours/excursions through the onsite manager and they were both excellent. Do rent a car as Bahia Pez Vela is a couple of miles from town. Driving isn’t as scary as some make it out to be. Verda was very helpful with pre planning, so much so we never had to reach out during our stay.

Beautiful Villa - Outstanding Views

Our visit to Bahia Pez Vela and the Flying V Villa was lovely. Verda and Neal were fantastic and happened to be on the property at their other rental during our stay and helpful for restaurant suggestions and activities. The beds were comfortable, the Villa was well appointed with everything we needed and the closest town, Playa del Coco (Coco Beach) had tons of awesome places to eat and not a bad bite! Bahia Pez Vela’s restaurant, Soluna, is located at the pool/beach area and also has great food and terrific cocktails! 😋 Our group walked the property frequently, but it’s not for the faint of heart! The inclines to create those spectacular views are challenging but if you’re into a good workout—go for it!! You’ll love your stay here!

Paradise

The property was amazing. All staff were kind and very helpful. We booked a few excursions through the office that were all very successful. The food at the restaurant on the property was delicious. We ate there at least once a day! The massage and facial are recommended whether in your villa or on the beach. We hope to come back!

Everything and more....

After a week full of many activities (diving, fishing, Monteverde cloud forest, Las Leonas waterfalls hike and rafting, spearfishing and surfing), the family vote for best part of the vacation was our home away from home. The hosts are incredible and quickly became friends offering so much help and insight. View from the condo is majestic, and we loved sunrise and sunset book ends to our day. Clean, fully equipped, comfortable and immediately felt like home thanks to Neil and Verda. A fantastic secluded beach, great pools (one 50 meters form the front door we enjoyed regularly) and great staff at the property. Excursions were easily arranged including pick-up from the beach for water activities. Great markets nearby and Playa Des Coco offers a fun escape for meals and the local scene. Will definitely be back and thanks again for our wonderful hosts.

Ocotal Charmer

There were a lot of highlights to staying at the Flying V Villa, but what made the experience truly exceptional were the viewpoint of the ocean sunsets and the hospitality of our hosts, Verda and Neil. The villa was comfortable and very well stocked in towels and kitchen items. We really enjoyed the quiet resort. July is slow month and it was terrific to avoid the crowds of normal summer vacationing. Our hosts went above and beyond in providing information and accommodating any requests immediately. Would recommend 100%!

Amazing, unforgettable stay at Bahia Pez Vela in Costa RIca

Our Villa was even nicer than we expected from the photos. Such a beautiful, clean space with an amazing view! The property was very well equipped. The nice welcome bag was such an unexpected gift and the coffee was enjoyed so much! The 6 of us enjoyed the patio day and night. The mosquitoes were a pain as expected but some days were not bad at all. I do want to mention for future travelers that although this is a resort with one restaurant, It's not quite as dressy as I thought! We definitely overpacked because we went into town a lot and it is very casual. I would give Maracuya restaurant 4 stars and it is quite the hike going up and down with steep hills. I'm sure you could arrange for a golf cart but we did not. We just looked at it as a good, well needed workout with all the food and drinks consumed! We enjoyed the upper level pool in the evenings. We shut the lights off and could not believe the stars in the sky! The Hosts, Verda and Neil took care of us immediately when the coffee maker quit working. A new one was sent up immediately! We would definitely come back to this paradise! It was an experience we will never forget!

Wonderful trip with our adult children

This Villa and Costa Rica are absolutely fantastic! The restaurant and bar on site were great and the staff is ah-mazing! I did not plan to rent a car, and Verda suggested I do, which I was very glad that I did. Especially since the main pool, beach and restaurant were down two very steep roads so we had to drive to them. The beach had black sand which was really cool to see but very hot on the feet! You will definitely want to bring water shoes. I highly recommend this Villa as it was absolutely beautiful, completely stocked with everything you would need, great communication with owners and staff at the resort. Pura Vida!!!

Fantastic!

We spent 7 days at this fabulous villa to celebrate hubby’s birthday. The Villa exceeded our expectations. From the spectacular views to the beautifully decorated Villa, everything was wonderful. Verda is an outstanding host. She was very responsive with all our questions prior to the trip. She reached out after our arrival to make sure everything was as it should be. Cesar and all the staff at the office were all friendly and very helpful with scheduling excursions, including zip lining and an ATV tour….so fun. Cesar helped organize a delicious surprise birthday cake which was waiting for us upon arrival. We took advantage of the opportunity to schedule a private chef one evening. Jose came and prepared quite possibly the best meal we have ever had! Highly recommend this Villa. Truly a great experience. Costa Rica is a wonderful place to visit and we can’t wait to go back!

Private and lovely

This villa is beautiful, clean, and nicely appointed. It is hard to get out and about due to very steep, narrow roads. The restaurant seemed expensive to me, but the staff was very gracious. We were traveling with my elderly parents. It was a little challenging for them with limited mobility. The pool on our level was greatly appreciated since the roads were so steep, and narrow, they did not feel comfortable driving. I recommend this location if you are seeking quiet, solitude, and a spectacular view.

Perfect Vacation Villa

If you read other reviews about this Villa, they more than adequately express our views and complete satisfaction with our late January, 2023 stay. The Villa is exceptional not only in its location, with extraordinary views and accessibility to the pools, but how beautifully it was organized, decorated and had everything you need to cook, recreate and completely relax. Great communications with both Verda and Neil and they have thought of just about everything a vacationer would need while staying at a home away from home. We would recommend this Costa Rican Villa to anyone without hesitation.

Waking up in paradise!

What a great vacation! Check in was incredibly simple, our whole family was blown away by the view from all rooms (even better than the photos)! The beach at Pez Vela is quiet and small, not crowded at all, and a lot of fun to swim in. There is food and drink service on the beach from Maracuya’s restaurant, especially Jocksan (Chimpy) who treated us like royalty!! Shoutout to Lizette, Renaldo, and Sebastian in the restaurant as well for making us feel right at home. The food at Maracuya’s is not cheap, but absolutely worth it. Cesar was excellent at the main office, and helped with booking any excursions or any issues that came up. All the resort staff were very friendly and courteous. Verda was amazing with her communication prior to and during our trip. We actually got to meet Verda and Neil near the end of our visit as they were staying in their other property. They are wonderful people! By far the best thing though was waking up to the view every morning, having a cup of coffee on the patio, and just breathing in the amazing ocean air and experiencing “Pura Vida” first hand. 5 stars all around.

Christmas in Paradise

Where to begin? Flying V Villa is an absolutely breathtaking, beautiful property. The decor was gorgeous and tasteful, and the views from the patio were stunning. We stayed 6 nights here after spending 3 nights in La Fortuna - this was definitely the highlight of our vacation by far. Verda went above and beyond to make our Christmas special - including personalized stockings for each of us and a small tree. It was lovely and such a nice touch (in addition to the many wonderful Christmas decorations throughout the villa)! We loved the comfortable beds, towels, and the kitchen was very well stocked (better by far than any other rentals we've had in the past). We were able to enjoy several meals here, including our Christmas dinner using the grill outside to make some steaks. I felt like this was such a special, well-cared for property and I just thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We especially loved watching the birds from the patio and enjoyed our mapache visitors every night. They are adorable! The beach on the property was actually our favorite - not crowded at all, and loved the black sand and gentle waves. Verda was also amazing as we prepared for the trip providing lots of good recommendations and information. I will fondly remember the warm air and watching the stars from the patio with the ocean sounds in the background - truly a magical place! This is a top notch property - I highly recommend it and would love to stay again.

In a word.... perfect.

In a word it was perfect. The check in went so easy, security guards are friendly, Jackie at the office is a pure delight, and... The home is perfect! In the nearly 11 years we have lived in Costa Rica, this is far and away the most beautiful and well appointed and equipped home we have ever stayed in! Location is incredible, the home is built for comfort, and the glass art is to die for. The restaurant at Bahia Pez Vela is very nice, excellent food and drink and entertainment and especially staff. Getting to visit with the raccoons, magpie jays and other critters, watching the whales every day is such a tranquil pleasure. And all from the patio. All the services are very near, farmicia, Buzzed Monkey, great sushi, well stocked stores. Add to all of this and more the owners provided a great welcome package, love the wine and post cards, and thank you for responding so quickly when we had questions! Simply put it greatly exceeded expectations in every way. Thank you so much for sharing it with us, we all had a great time! Chuck, Anna and family

Beautiful Place with exceptional views

6 night stay that was better than expected. The house was clean and the views were amazing. While we could have stayed on the patio all day watching humpback whales, howler monkey and more, we were able to communicate with Cesar at the front office to set up all our private excursions. There is so much to do in the area and everyone was pleasant at the resort. Definitely worth the money and only a 30 minute drive from Liberia airport.

About the host

Hosted by Neil & Verda Hutcheson

Living in Atlanta affords us the opportunity to visit our villa often for both the enjoyment as well as the necessity of freshening and maintain the villa so guests will always have a wonderful experience. Costa Rica has so much to offer and the Flying V Villa is an outstanding place to relax and enjoy the sounds and views of the ocean after a day of adventure or lounging by the pool.
We take pride in the villa décor and amenities and the reviews support our dedication.

Why they chose this property

The resort offers everything you need to have a great vacation, and is close to the village of Playa del Coco, so you can stock up on whatever is needed and have the convenience of restaurants, banks, shopping and night spots. We are only 17 kilometers from the LIR airport.
