Great place! Pictures don't do it justice. Quite the luxury for us. Beach and pool are great. Lucy and Luis are wonderful and made us feel completely at home. Check in was easy, kitchen is good. Nice space for us and our adult children. We would highly recommend it. We'd go back in an instant.

We loved our stay at Mar a Lago! The house was beautiful and located right on the beach! But the highlight of our stay was Lucy and Luis who took such good care to make sure we felt at home. Lucy was the best cook so make sure you have her cook as often as you can! And tell them we said hello :) A must stay!

Costa Rica Beach House

Our family of 5 stayed a week at this beach house and we loved it! We had so much privacy and were the only people on the beach. It is definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive! Lucy was an amazing host and made us feel very comfortable.

Family Vacation

My husband, I and our 4 kids (3 teenagers and 1 college age) stayed here for a week and loved it! We liked that it is out of the city, we loved being able to go back and forth from the ocean to the pool, and the property is very well maintained!!

We had a fantastic stay at this beachfront property! The house is exactly as described – spacious, clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing getaway. Having direct access to the beach was incredible. We enjoyed our walks along the shore and afternoons lounging by the private pool.The location is peaceful and quiet, with plenty of privacy. One of the highlights was the natural surroundings – we regularly saw monkeys in the trees and heard birds all around. It really felt like a private paradise.It’s also a great home base for exploring the area. We took easy day trips to Manuel Antonio, waterfalls, and other local attractions, and always looked forward to returning to this calm, beautiful retreat.Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled escape with easy access to some of Costa Rica’s best sights. We would definitely stay here again!

Private and perfect beach stay!

This home is perfect for those who want to have a private getaway. Off the beaten path…literally off dirt road, but once there you will have all the amenities in this gorgeous, sprawling home. On the beach with large pool. Lucy & Luis make the stay comfortable and informative. Coconut drinks in the morning, pointing out monkeys and birds on property and making a traditional Costa Rican dinner upon request. Couldn’t be happier with our stay and highly recommend this property!

Great Place to Stay

We really enjoyed staying at this location. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but that is also part of its charm. The house was very clean and comfortable. Luci and Luis are the property's caretakers and they are wonderful. They know just how to be warm and welcoming while still allowing you your privacy. They brought us coconut water and let us know when we could see monkeys at the property.

Beautiful vacation property-just as described and more!

Villa Mar Lago is a comfortable, spacious, well kept beach front villa...exactly as stated and shown in the VRBO pictures. Lucy and Luis, the onsite caretakers, are a pleasure in every way...from the property condition to the meals Lucy prepared, their helpfulness and kindness is much appreciated. Lucy and Luis take the best care of the property and were most welcoming upon our arrival to the villa. The beach is secluded and private black sand with a beach front palm frond umbrella and hammocks strung between the palms by the beach. The villa was clean, the beds comfortable, sleeps 8 comfortably in 3 bedrooms each with its own bath and a separate cabana with kitchen/LR area with a 4th bedroom. Birds and monkeys can be found in the trees, a local restaurant 5 km back toward town offered great meals as well. Quepos is about 50 minutes away, Parritas 20 minutes for groceries. For a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation, stay at Villa Mar Lago. We would definitely return some day!

Just as described, perfectly accommodated kitchen and baths. Pool area well maintained. Beach area well maintained by Francisco and Kathia as well. We felt welcomed and enjoyed our stay. We forgot something at the house and they texted us through What’s App to let us know. Very happy and plan to return. Highly recommend!

Great place to unwind

Couldn’t have chosen a better place to unwind. Last part of the road is pretty rough but once you get there, Luis and Lucy take excellent care of you. Very warm caretakers and they are there for every need - which we hardly had. They even treated us to fresh tender coconut water and juicy pineapple slices. We had a nice catered (paid) meal made by Lucy. Beach was great though the kids couldn’t go deep in, due to the scare of riptide signs. They simply loved being in the pool and enjoying the place.
