Enchanting Villa
We had most wonderful time in Costa Rica. Ellen's Villa was so beautiful and perfect setting for a family. The villa is situated in the middle of the jungle with beautiful view of ocean and greens. We woke up everyday with only birds and animal sounds. It was a very peaceful and magical experience. She had everything we needed in the villa from beach gear to Wi-Fi. We really appreciated high quality linens and towels. The villa is right by a charming little town called Ojochal. The beaches near by were never crowded even during the holiday seasons, and it was the most beautiful beaches we have ever been. We travel a lot to asia and Europe but this was one of the most beautiful places. We were pleasantly surprised by the high standards of restaurants. There were French fusion and Italian restaurants in Ojochal we loved. Home made pastas and 7-course dinner was amazing. We did Don Lulo's horseback ride to Nauyaka fall. It was breakfast, lunch, tour and horseback ride. it was a very memorable tour. We really appreciate Joan and Mau (property managers) there to answer any questions and offer suggestions. They came right over when we needed their help. I would love to come back again. Thank you for offering your place Ellen!

A wonderful place to stay
We booked this house after reading reviews and doing our research. We could not have been more pleased with our stay at Villa Mariposa. From the inital deposit to leaving the property the owner and manager were very helpful and made the rental process smooth. The house is truly as beautiful as the pictures show . We spent all of our time while at the house on the back patio having dinner, playing cards and enjoying the pool. The owner provides lots of helpful information in a binder at the house so you don' t have to waste your time trying to find the best beaches or places to eat. There are plenty of beautiful beaches up and down the coast from the house. There are small towns close by where you can shop for food if you want to cook or there are restaurants from basic to upscale. We would recommend this property to anyone who is looking to get away from it all for awhile. It's a beautiful home in a quiet location but the beaches are only a short drive away.

Thanks for your review. So glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the outdoor living from the covered terrace. It's great to have the privacy of the pool and still be close to all the beaches and activities. Thanks, Ellen

A wonderful experience
Villa Mariposa is a dream come true: it was everything we had hoped, and more. Very clean, comfortable, well-equipped, with beautiful views and a terrific pool. It is easily accessible to all kinds of restaurants, beaches and adventures, but often we all preferred simply to relax, swim, BBQ great dinners and watch the sunset. The owner and property manager were extremely helpful and attentive, and we were always comfortable following their suggestions or advice. It was a wonderful experience and we miss it already.

Peaceful, beautiful, remarkable
High on the side of a mountain, overlooking the Pacific ocean and spectacular sunsets, this remarkable and luxurious retreat in the jungle is everything it promises: private, clean and enchanting.
Mornings, after a wake-up swim in the pool, I enjoyed my coffee on the terrace watching hummingbirds and butterflies flit from flower to flower with the sound of a running stream just off in the near distance. Bliss.
The owners have taken care of every detail, from a collection of music and movies to keep the kids of all ages entertained, to an outdoor shower, a well-equipped kitchen, French doors leading from most rooms to the terrace and finally, a detailed information package with recommendations for local cuisine, activities, beaches and shopping, all within a short driving distance. Customer service through the booking, arrival and rental processes were flawless.
Of the several properties I have rented in the Caribbean and Latin america over the years, this one tops my list. Highly recommended.

Great Place to Enjoy a Relaxing Vacation!
What a great place to stay with great friends!
In the area there were so many activities to choose from and so many great restaurants to dine at, but we enjoyed Villa Mariposa so much we hardly left!
Our days consisted of blending up a big batch of Pina Coladas, enjoying them poolside, and grilling on the BBQ almost every night. We loved all the birds we could see from the pool deck and the sounds of the monkeys every morning.
I highly recommend this tropical home away from home!
