Mary S. (review from Vrbo)
Great potential.
This place has great potential, if they were to install AC. It is also located on a busy street, which wouldn't be a problem if you could close the windows at night, which you can't because it is too hot. There are also roosters, dogs barking, etc. This was the biggest issue. That being said, the place is nice (modest, but clean and equipped nicely). The pool and grounds are fabulous. The management company was excellent!

Sarah P. (review from Vrbo)
10 day stay
Our overall impression: cute property, older but well kept. A few things were worth noting.

1. The road noise can be bothersome at night considering there is no air conditioner so there is no way to shut out traffic noise.
2. very hard mattresses and pillows. We slept on camping gear we put on top of the mattress to make it a bit more comfortable.
3. Impossible to regulate the cold/hot water-it is an extreme of either one.
3. The rooster next door seems to have not gotten the message about crowing only at daybreak. He starts about 3:30-4:15 each morning-again no way to dampen the noise as the windows must stay open. Of course, there is probably little that can be done about that!

Overall the house was clean and conveniently located. The management company is super responsive and we enjoyed our stay. Dog friendly is a definite plus.

Excelente lugar, una casa muy cómoda, si nos hizo falta aire acondicionado, pero en general está muy bien, la piscina excelente, todo muy cerca en generalla pasamos muy bien

Hidden Gem
This house is a little hidden gem. The place is rustic but we enjoyed that. However, it is a little worse for wear and needs some repairs. The house and property is very private. It is important to note that Ojochal is an up and coming place which means there is a lot of traffic including motorbikes which were very loud. There are some very nice restaurants near by. The property management company were fantastic, they responded quickly to our requests or questions and were super helpful when booking and organizing excursions.

Tim L. (review from Vrbo)
Loved it
We loved most everything about this place, it was a great place to just get away and relax. It is very private and beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as a BBQ. It was also great to be able to wash and dry our clothes. We also got to witness a mom sitting on her eggs and she had 3 little chicks following her around. I do recommend that AC and a second lounge chair by the pool would be great additions, as it is quite warm. We would definitely return.

1 Woche Ojochal🇨🇷
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön und es gibt im Haus alles was man braucht. Wir haben die Woche dort sehr genossen. Die Terrasse und der schöne Pool mit Garten machen das Objekt perfekt. Der Grill auf der Terrasse war noch neu. Wir haben uns nicht getraut ihn zu benutzen weil wir Angst hatten ihn nicht mehr so perfekt sauber zu bekommen. Der Service durch Osa Property Management war vom Anfang an bis zum Ende perfekt. Die Reaktionszeiten waren Rekordverdächtig. Wirklich zu empfehlen! Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage!!

Juan F (review from Airbnb)
Bonita lugar para desconectar , con cocina bien equipada. Se pueden observar numerosos animales como colibris, morphos, coaties , iguanas, patos, etc.
No me ha gustado que puedan entrar al recinto animales del vecindario como perros y gatos. Molesta el ruido del transito de vehiculos en la carretera frente a la propiedad ,especialmente a horas muy tempranas. Aunque por la noche se puede descansar bien.

Emilio (review from Airbnb)
Descanso y tranquilidad. En la mañana escuchar los pájaros y verlos es toda una experiencia.

Stephanie (review from Airbnb)
We enjoyed our stay here. The pool is really great and the beds are very comfortable. We did have an issue with all the power surges and down Wi-Fi, but they helped us get back up pretty quickly. The property is very spacious and has lots of different fruit trees on it.

Dennis L. (review from Vrbo)
Plumbing needs updating/ repairing
The patio and pool was great. The showers and toilets had serious issues.
Ojochal is an up and coming area with a lot of developing going on. Unfortunately this property is located very close to the main avenue and there was a steady stream of construction vehicles.

Tara G. (review from Vrbo)
Lovely Location
We enjoyed our stay here and the pool was fantastic.
The home is more rustic, which we liked, but be aware that there is no living room. The kitchen and laundry worked well for us, there is a cooktop but no oven.
The home is located in a very convenient and beautiful spot, and the property has a lot of space and fruit trees. The view is nice and there are restaurants within walking distance.

Sheila (review from Airbnb)
A lovely home in a lovely location! We loved sitting on the patio and soaking in the beautiful garden, pool and mountain vista.

Helen (review from Airbnb)
This was our third stay in the Ojochal area and our first time renting with Osa Property Management through Airbnb. The place itself was lovely, bigger than we expected and a great sized pool and garden! It was definitely good value for money and with a bit of extra love it would be perfect. Something to note is that the property is located close to road with more traffic than expected, so just bring some earplugs for early morning. The booking process is also a little more complicated than a typical Airbnb, so keep in mind that you will be required to do some extra pre-trip paperwork. Ojochal is a fantastic area and this is a great base to explore from!

Jacob H. (review from Vrbo)
Great spot in the heart of Ojochal.
The property is beautiful. We saw many birds and animals throughout the day. The gate locks which is great for piece of mind. The neighbors are friendly. Grocery stores are very close. We did not rent a vehicle but still were able to walk to the beach and waterfalls nearby. The only reason we gave it 4 out of 5 stars for accuracy of listing was because it said it had AC units. Two fans were provided in each room, but no AC units were present.

Response:
Thanks Jacob! We are happy you enjoyed your stay at the property. It was a pleasure hosting you. One clarification, per our (property management company) conversation with Vrbo, and confirmed with Vrbo, the listing does not state that there are A/C units. We have managed the home for several years and the home has never had A/C units. We hope to see you again soon!

Juan (review from Airbnb)
El lugar es confortable, esta bien equipada para cocinar, centro de lavado, la piscina tiene tamaño suficiente para disfrutar y con su debido mantenimiento . La propiedad esta ubicada en un lugar tranquilo. Esta cerca de supermercados y lugares de interés. El servicio es excelente.

Daniel (review from Airbnb)
La casa está ubicada a unos 5 minutos de la carretera costanera y a unos 15 minutos de las principales playas y parques nacionales de la zona. La casa es sencilla pero tiene todo lo mínimo para una estadía agradable. La piscina tiene un tamaño muy adecuado para el disfrute y tiene toldos que permiten estar en la piscina sin tener que recibir directamente el sol. El terreno en el que está la casa es bastante grande (unos 5.000 m2 aproximadamente) y muy bien mantenido, es el lugar perfecto para visitar con perros de cualquier tamaño ya que pueden jugar libremente en la propiedad sin ocasionar molestias y sin riesgo de escapar. Un punto importante es que la propiedad tiene un supermercado a pocos metros y algunos restaurantes.

Slice of heaven
The place was very quaint, many Great restaurants near buy, spent time in joying the ocean at two different locations. Beautiful, warm and enjoyable. The property pool could have been heated. But still was refreshing. Waking up to the birds and roosters was quit enjoyable. The tacos were very friendly, never felt threatened or scared. Some of the off roads adventure were very interesting… mush rent a 4 wheel drive Vehicle. Enjoy Ojochal..

La piscina grande y linda. Sólo como recomendación cambiar la cama del cuarto que da al jardín trasero, suena mucho y está inclinada.

Un lugar espectacular
“Un lugar espectacular, propiedad muy privada y una piscina deliciosa, hay campo con bastante espacio, incluso pudimos hacer frescos naturales con los frutos de los árboles que hay en la propiedad, hay minisuper cerca, parrilla, y todo lo que se necesita para cocinar e incluso lavar. Punto estratégico para ir a playas en vehículo, la calle es asfaltada y de fácil acceso a la zona, cuando fuimos estaba recién asfaltada por la que la entrada a la propiedad como tal, tiene un poquito de dificultad para vehículos bajos pero estoy seguro que pronto rellenaran para que esté al nivel de la calle. 5 estrellas 😊, pronto volveremos!!!”

Sofía (review from Airbnb)
Muy privado, con una vista increíble a las montañas.
La piscina es súper agradable y la mantienen muy limpia.
Excelente opción para ir con mascotas, pues tienen muchísimo campo para olfatear y jugar.
Tomar en consideración que es necesario manejar al menos 10 o 15 min para llegar a alguna playa (característico de la zona).
El único comentario negativo, es que los gallos de los vecinos cantan toooda la noche y madrugada jaja. Si usted tiene un sueño ligero, le sugiero llevar taponcitos para los oídos ;)
