Harry (review from Airbnb)
Nice house, the house contains everything it was indicated on the listing page.

Response:
We're sorry we didn't earn a 5-star review, especially after we let you stay 4 hours after check-out for free and we also did not make you fill out our ID verification form prior to entering the house. You also never mentioned any issues/difficulties about the home during your time there. Hopefully next time we will earn a 5-star. Pura vida!

Cindy (review from Airbnb)

Here's what you wrote to John: It was absolutely amazing. It was our 35 th wedding anniversary. Sooooo special. One of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Girls want to move to CR. Casa de Guacamaya Roja is absolutely beautiful. Perfect in every way. And we had everything we needed down to laundry detergent. We absolutely can’t thank you enough!!!!!

Ronald (review from Airbnb)
Short summary, pricy for what it is. Lovely quiet neighborhood. House is nice, but the pool is sore need of maintenance, as well as the AC units in the rooms. Lots of odds and ends just need maintenance throughout.

Louise (review from Airbnb)
Un gros merci le tout était parfait, sauf la sécheuse, l'eau chaude et le chemin de terre. Mais c'est rien très contente et un gros merci pour votre excellent service. Les jardiniers très respectueux à leurs arrivée, nous étions au déjeuner et ils sont repartie pour nous laisser le temps de terminer notre déjeunée . Au plaisir

Response:
Thank Louise! It was a pleasure to Host you at one of our 40+ properties. We hope to see you again soon! Pura vida! Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas

Beautiful House in Ojochol
The property was beautiful. We were not prepared for how difficult it was to get to the property. I think the listing should explain it is a very difficult car ride it is. That made our travel and events much more limited. We also had a significant issue with the water supply, we had a whole day (the one day we all took a day of rest at the house) without water supply and it took all day to get it serviced. If one is looking for a staycation, it worked well but if you want to enjoy all that the area has to offer, I would recommend not getting this property.

Cozy Beautiful Spot
We enjoyed our stay. Management was very responsive and we had everything we needed.

Rolando V. (review from Vrbo)
Nice property and friendly staff
The staff was super friendly and the property was well maintained.

Dale And Christie (review from Airbnb)
Fantastic views! Loved the pool. Definitely need a 4 x 4 car especially if it is raining. Perhaps I should already know this but being from Vegas it is not a problem for me, do not leave any food out ever! Ants will find it even if it is very small. It was very nice to have air conditioning in the bedrooms.

Mark H. (review from Vrbo)
Everything as advertised
The house was excellent. Everything we expected. Had our own personal tucan. Need a 4x4 on final stretch which we knew in advance.

Blessed (review from Airbnb)
OSA property is the worst host ever
Me and my friends were stranded in Costa Rica bcz they refused to give us the keys to the house or even meet up. Poor communication, the owners are rude and very unprofessional I do not recommend anyone from the USA to stay at their property. We were forced to spend unnecessary money due to the fact that the property manager did not pick up a phone call when we get to the Airbnb on Monday. They are a con artists, they need to be removed from this app since they lie about everything.

Response:
Blessed did not arrive on time (over an hour past check-in time). Blessed did not rent a 4x4 vehicle. Blessed yelled and belittled our employees - using our employee's phone so we met up with them. However, they didn't have a vehicle that could make it to the home. We contacted Airbnb as our employees felt unsafe.

Brandon (review from Airbnb)
Be prepared to go to the store if you are there for a extended stay, to purchase some basic items!!! Cleaning supplies etc.

Beate (review from Airbnb)
Schönes Haus, netter sauberer Pool. Die Lage ist nicht so toll. Die Check In Zeit ist leider nicht sehr flexibel.

Samuel (review from Airbnb)
Great House in the middle of a Beautiful Neighborhood Ojochal.

House feels very modern and AC in every unit is worth every penny at night time or during the day when it is hot and high moisture in the area.

Great Washing Machine and Dryer,

We Traveled with 5 Children and the house was perfect to get everyone a nice comfortable bed. Pillows were amazing and plenty of linens and Towels in all rooms.

Make sure you do have a 4x4 vehicle to confidently get in and out of the neighborhood.

Barbie (review from Airbnb)
Place is absolutely amazing! It was comfortable and very well tended too.
We loved this property and spent a lot of time there. Management company is great they respond rapidly to any and all concerns.

Beatriz (review from Airbnb)
Bien! Deberían poder hacer el check in más temprano

Pilar (review from Airbnb)
Es una casa muy linda con todo lo necesario en medio de la montaña. Se pueden ver muchos pájaros incluidos tucanes y lapas. La vista es maravillosa. Una parte del camino no es asfaltado y requiere 4x4.

Abigail
Comfortable and exquisite to the core.
Amazing property! Beautiful views, comfortable and exquisite the core. This property is exceptional! Very comfortable for cooking, hanging out, or just relaxation and peace. Definitely worth every penny!

La casa está muy linda, todo estuvo muy bien, 👍🏻

Charisse
We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time here! There were six adults and two kids. The family of four stayed on the main floor and the others upstairs. We all had plenty of privacy but also had great communal space. Beautiful pool with a gorgeous view. We took advantage of extra cleanings a couple times and it was worth it. You definitely need 4WD to get here. It’s not just a suggestion. We would definitely stay here again!!
