Hermosa propiedad con todas las comodidades
Esta propiedad se encuentra fuera del Resort de Punta Islita en una propiedad privada muy segura y muy bien atendida, sin embargo se encuentra justo al lado del Resort y se permite el uso de las instalaciones (restaurant, spa, club de playa). La vista desde la casa es espectacular y se encuentra rodeada de árboles, se pueden observar lapas, venados, mapaches, monos... La casa está perfectamente amueblada y equipada para tener una plácida estancia. Cuenta con limpieza y mantenimiento diario. No duden en visitar restaurante kambute con un amplio y delicioso menú

Loved it!
We had a great 7 night stay here! Two adults and four university age kids. It’s definitely remote and the town and area restaurants are charming. We had a 4x4 and were glad to have it! There were howler monkeys and macaws in the trees every day and we spent hours in the pool after venturing out to do activities like surf school, horseback riding and art classes. The management at the neighboring hotel was wonderful on multiple occasions. The housekeeper Lisbeth took great care of us and her cooking was fabulous!! We made so many memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you for sharing this magical place with us!

Great ocean escape
The house is as advertised, beautiful and well equipped. The location is isolated enough for privacy, but only 35 minutes from Samara. There is air conditioning in all of the bedrooms, which is necessary given the heat and humidity. The property manager Diego is really helpful and communicative. A great location!

Stunning Property
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. Most of our time spent there was in the gorgeous pool watching the Macaws as they flew overhead. Our group consisted of 2 families - 4 adults and 5 kids ranging in ages of 5-16. Diego the property owner and Lisbeth the property manager were both very responsive whenever we had any questions and on top of things if/when we needed them. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful Week of Fun and Relaxation
We visited Costa Rica with our family of 6 (3 teens and a 25 yo). We all loved Costa Rica and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Villa Jalapa! It was amazing! The communication and care shown by both Diego and Lisbeth was excellent. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures online. Our family thoroughly enjoyed playing in the pool, cooking together in the large well equipped open kitchen, listening to the howler monkeys over our morning cup of coffee (we saw a family of them on the property one morning), the many macaw sightings, the access we had to the Marriott to lounge by the beach and enjoy the swim up bar from time to time, and all of the excursions we did while there.. Diego provided many helpful suggestions on things to do. While there we went whale watching, surfing, visited the Macaw Recovery Center next door, went to Corzalitto to watch the sea turtles lay their eggs one night, kayaked and snorkeled. It was truly a dream vacation and we can’t wait to return! Thank you so much, Diego and Lisbeth, for helping to create such a memorable experience for our family!

Fantastic!
Fantastic stay! First time in Costa Rica! Amazing pool and amenities! Grateful for the SUV we rented to travel the last bumpy 10 km. Beach club of the local hotel was very accommodating for a cabana rental when we wanted to splurge. Natural sightings of howler monkeys and macaws. Also a wonderful visit to The Jungle Butterfly farm. Walked to the couple local restaurants - perfect after spending all day in the sun/pool. Would love to come back!

A perfect week
Villa Jalapa is wonderful and when I return to Costa Rica, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The location is perfect - a few minutes walk to the beach, town, and places to hike. We were 9 and while everyone (including the kids) had plenty of space to run around, there were also lots of ways to find peace and quiet. There are incredible views and a super great pool that looks out over the ocean. The house is well-equipped and comfortable. We had some issues with minor repairs (cabinet pulls) and the dishwasher, which we were warned about, all of which was understandable given we were there end of the season. Diego and Lisbeth were responsive and super gracious, even when the very excited kids damaged the couch. Diego made it super easy to be there - putting us in touch with Heiner, who picked us up and drove us back to Liberia and also took us on a mid-week excursion. Having the hotel next door is convenient and they are very friendly to non-guests. My 5-year old granddaughter and I went for mani/pedis and we all had a great breakfast there one morning after the beach. Can't say enough about this great place and its hosts.

Great Stay at villa Jalapa
We stayed for a week and we had a great time. The pool and view were amazing! The kitchen was well stocked with many items for cooking our own meal. Diego helped us order local fish which was delivered at the door and was amazing. We saw monkeys and many other animals and insects which the kids loved. The beach was a short distance by walking and we could do surfing with nice waves! Overall great stay!

Awesome home
Loved the pool, the layout, separate casitas, super comfy beds. Views of howler monkeys, coatis, scarlet macaws from the property. Short walk to beach and Marriott hotel. Beach bar is a plus. Expensive however with Cdn exchange. A bit of a climb to get home. Grounds professionally cared for. Well worth a visit.

Great property!
We loved our stay. It is remote and the road not great (we came from Arenal). But the property is lovely. And Lizbeth is all the great things you have heard. Amazing food at $20 a meal and she secured the seafood for us. The bedrooms are wonderful (although towel racks dangerous for tall people!). Great touch having shampoo, body wash in the showers. Would benefit from a suitcase rack. Communication great with Diego - very responsive. Loved the pool and the rooftop - scarlet macaws morning and evening to spot. Kitchen is very well equipped, although we didn’t use most of it because we left it up to Lizbeth. We played a couple games which were supplied, very fun. Overall a great visit, and highly recommend!

Amazing Property!
Our stay at Villa Jalapa was amazing from start to finish! Lisbeth was an AMAZING cook and took great pride in cooking and cleaning for us the entire time we were there. Our kids loved everything she made! The rooms were beautiful and comfortable and the bird watching in the morning was really great. Would definitely stay again! We loved the town of Islita and all the people there! We spent a day at the beach and rented a cabana from the local hotel with food and drink service to our chairs. We all did surf lessons on the beach and had a great time. My daughter and I did a 30 minute massage at the outdoor "spa" in a private cabana that was super peaceful and secluded. If you want to eat at the local Don Romero's you need a reservation, but I would highly recommend it! It's a very intimate setting with the chef preparing food especially for you!

Amazing home and location!
Our family of 6 could not have asked for a better home on our recent trip to Costa Rica. We had plenty of space to enjoy our stay at home. We separate sleeping quarters, our four teenagers had the space they needed. The pool and surroundings are so peaceful. Punta Islita beach down the road is very secluded and private! We had all the waves to ourselves. The beds were superior, the kitchen was stocked, the TV streaming was perfection! Can not think of a thing we needed during our stay. The convenience store up the road had last minute items. But the icing on the cake was Lisbeth! She truly made the trip just that bit more special. She is kind and willing to answer questions — her cooking was truly authentic and better than any restaurant we visited. Get her menu before arriving and grab the ingredients and you are set! This was a vacation for the parents. Thank you Diego for sharing this beautiful home! This will not be our last visit to the beautiful country of Costa Rica!!

Amazing stay
We stayed at Villa Jalapa for 3 weeks and our stay could not have been any better. The host was very attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. We took advantage of Lisbeth who tends to the property daily for meals and her meals were better than any restaurant. Her personality and care for the home was outstanding. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures show but true to detail. Islita is the hidden gem of Costa Rica. We were at our own private oasis yet there were so many accessible restaurants due to the neighbouring hotel. The drive from Samara to Islita is rugged at the end and 4 x 4 is recommended but it adds to the appreciation of this beautiful property. We saw macaws, howler monkeys, white faced caupchins,… nature all around us. The infinity pool was incredible and many hours were spent here daily. We did the 1 km walk to Punta Islita every morning and felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. Somehow 3 weeks was not enough time here.

Villa Jalapa was the perfect way to wrap up our Costa Rican dream vacation. It was essentially our vacation from our vacation. The beautiful spacious property was everything we imagined and more. It was a special treat to come home from the day’s activities and take a dip in the private pool. Our empanada cooking lesson with Lisbeth was memorable and she was so easy going and delightful. We appreciated Diego’s prompt and exceptional communication from booking our stay to local tips and recommendations. Thank you, we can’t wait to visit Islita again!

Villa Jalapa was spectacular! Wonderful vistas, house, beach, and Lisbeth’s great care and cooking
We loved every minute of this adventure. The house was lovely and comfortable, with the common area opening on all sides to the outdoors. We enjoyed seeing capuchin and howler monkeys, myriad birds including many scarlet macaws, coatis and more. The pool is lovely. Lisbeth cooked for us four nights - absolutely delicious. And she’s so kind, helpful and fun. The area is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth it. The local beach is a 5 minute walk and we felt like we had it to ourselves. The waves were the perfect size. We also enjoyed eating at Kimbute, and hoped to eat at Don Ramiro’s but it was closed. We enjoyed the neighboring hotel for some dinners, as well as a lunch on the beach. We explored other nearby beach towns, as well. Mostly, we simply reveled it in being at the house. Wish we could’ve stayed another week! Thank you, Diego and Lisbeth, for an unforgettable retreat.

Great location for a group!
Villa Jalapa is an exceptional vacation location for a group, or even a couple if you want privacy. The house is spacious and airy and the bedrooms are separate for privacy if that’s what you like, or bunk with friends for an even larger group. The pool just off the common area was unexpectedly delightful, clean and refreshing. The owner is extremely helpful and the manager/cleaner/chef is outstanding. Do not miss a chance to have Lisbeth cook for you. The rooftop area is shaded perfectly, wonderful for looking out over the jungle to the sea, listening to the howler monkeys and all the amazing birds. This is a great location for peace and tranquility but also offers some great local restaurants all close by. This was a great find and we will be back!

Great house, will definitely return
The house is amazing, great pool, all necessary appliances, Lisbeth cleans daily which is an amazing added value - also knows the town very well. Would add a little shade for the pool since it is 100% directly under the sun all day which is not great for skin health. Diego was a very responsive host and everything went as expected. Would return.

Wonderful Hidden Gem
We had such a great stay over the New Year with my family. The property itself is everything you could want on a tropical beach vacation. It felt extremely safe and was well stocked. We have never been to Punta Islita before and we found so much to do in our week's stay. Diego was so helpful and communicative in setting up things before our arrival and making sure our stay was going well. Lisbeth, the housekeeper/cook was amazing!! Her cooking is wonderful and more than that she is just a lovely and sweet person and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. As a Mom to 4 young children, it was so nice to REALLY take a break at a VRBO. We took some awesome guided hikes and tours with Eduardo (find him at the beach). Just a great trip made better by meeting so many wonderful locals who love their country and are happy to share it. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful home, gorgeous location
Fabulous. Our family of 4 (kids ages 12 and 14) spent a week and a half here in late November. It exceeded our high expectations. The pictures and prior reviews are accurate. Several very positive attributes to this property: (1) Lisebeth the housekeeper takes loving care of the home. She cleans for several hours daily, and it shows. She also will happily cook you a delicious meal for 5000 Colones (about $8). She can also procure fresh fish for you (Snapper). Her family's home is a couple hundred years down the driveway, near the gate, so she's not a close presence but also adds a feeling of security in this tightly-knit, safe town. (2) Diego, the owner, lives a few hours away. He is a fluent English-speaker, and very helpful by email. He answered many questions for us before and during our stay. (3) Proximity to various wonderful beaches: This part of the Nicoya Peninsula is lightly visited by travelers, so the beaches are un- or minimally-developed. The gorgeous Playa Islita is a 7 minute walk or a 2 minute drive from the house. There are never more than a few groups on the beach. There are usually a few people lounging in the hotel's beachside restaurant, and you can use this facility a la carte if you wish. Playa Camaronal is a 10-15 minute drive and is ideal for surfing. In late November swells ranged from 4-5 on small days to 7-9 on bigger days. If you want to rent a board for a day or a week, Lisbeth can put you in contact with Marco, the owner of Islita Surf School. Playa Carrillo is a 30 minute drive for a 2 mile protected, crescent shaped beach to the north. To the south 30-60 minutes, there are several deserted, 5-mile beaches (such as Playa Coyote). A couple pieces of advice: If you can, fly to Liberia rather than San Jose. There are two groceries, an organic food store, a bakery, and a butcher in Samara (get your meat from the butcher, as the grocery stores reportedly turn off their refrigerators at night to save money!). It might be worth buying groceries in Liberia on arrival. Also, it probably goes without saying, but you need a 4x4 to travel here--roads are mostly dirt and are very bumpy. Get a dinner reservation at Don Ramiro in Islita--the owner Miguel is a charming guy who takes great pride in his dishes. We spent our days here running (early!), surfing, walking beaches, lounging around in the shade, doing beach walks, and eating well. Such a relaxing, rejuvenating vacation. I wish it didn't have to end.

Paradise in Punta Islita
We visited this Villa with 2 families with 4 adults and 3 boys ages 10-14. Having been to this area previously on business, I wanted to return as it's off the beaten path and has very few tourists. It's the perfect place to immerse yourself in the Pura Vida lifestyle. All the locals are friendly and warm. This is the perfect property with a location just 5 minutes from the beach and from 3-4 restaurants/sodas. The village is one of the most authentic beautiful villages in Costa Rica. You can easily walk into the village from the villa. This is the perfect place for those seeking solitude and nature. We encountered deer, coatis, and black howler monkeys on the property. Also, the bird watching is phenomenal from the pool area. The upper deck on the main building also provides the perfect 360-degree views to search for wildlife, do yoga or chill out in the hammock. Scarlet Macaws are seen daily. Also, they have resident Turquoise Browed Mot Mots next to the pool. All the rooms are spacious and private from each other. The pool views are world-class. We spent most of our time in the pool taking in the views and wildlife. The onsite caretakers Lisbeth and Alvaro are lovely. They are available daily for cleaning and cooking. I highly recommend having Lisbeth cook as it's extremely affordable. Don't miss her Fried Whole Snapper, patacones and Ceviche!!!! They can also secure fresh local seafood for you to cook. Diego the owner is the most responsive and detailed rental owner I've ever dealt with. He can answer and advise on all your needs such as tours, restaurants, logistics, etc. I would recommend a Sports Utility vehicle as some of the drives in this area are difficult in small sedans if you are not experienced in offroad driving. All in all a 5-star experience and can't wait to return! Pura Vida!

Un havre de paix, une vue inoubliable
Séjour d'une semaine en début janvier. La ville est très propre et très bien aménagée. La cuisine est très bien équipée. La pièce centrale est magnifique. Vue splendide sur la mer et la végétation environnante. Oiseaux exotiques, singes hurleurs et coatis autour de la propriété. Environnement très calme. Les gens qui s'occupent de la villa sont très sympathiques, discrets et serviables. La piscine est très belle et de température agréable. Attention toutefois car elle n'est pas sécurisée donc pas recommandé pour une famille avec de jeunes enfants. La magnifique plage de Punta Islita est à 10-15 min de marche de la ville et est quasi déserte. Point à améliorer, chaleur intense dans le bâtiment principal qui n'était pas équipé d'air climatisé. Aussi, la description de la villa parlait d'un accès sur place à une laveuse/sécheuse et à un grill, mais ces services n'étaient pas disponibles. Le propriétaire nous a toutefois gracieusement offert un service de buanderie par les gens qui entretiennent la villa. Vraiment hâte d'y séjourner à nouveau!
