| Playa Grande is one of the most beautiful beaches that we have seen in CR. This is our second trip there and we love that we have the beach to ourselves, the great surf, for the surfers in the family. Villa Olivia is just a wonderful house to enjoy this pristine beach. Staff is always present and friendly. Marianela is fluent in English and very available by phone for anything you would need. Their spacish and well equipped kitchen is airy and gives you views of the spectacular beach. Dinners on the deck were delightful. Villa Olivia can sleep 12 and be a very comfortable house for a large group. We will be back. |

PARADISE !
Each time we visit Costa Rica, we are looking to again experience some of the extraordinary things we have seen before, but alas, it is always new and wonderous things we find!!
Mid-October in Playa Grande was great!
No crowds and not-so-hot weather.
Villa Olivia is everything one could hope for: Beachfront, Luxury and a Terrific staff!!
Got to see a loud family of orange-chin parakeets(they thought they lived at Villa Olivia!), a large Boa snake nearby, and the Rincon de la Vieja volcano.
Like I said: PARADISE !!!
Can't wait to return to Villa Olivia !!
THANKS !!!!

| 8 of us stayed at Villa Olivia for our wedding in Costa Rica and we had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful and all of the staff was extremely helpful! We would certainly rent Villa Olivia again for future visits to Playa Grande. We will miss Corina...what a sweet girl! :) |

Villa Olivia is a slice of heaven. We had a great time and feel that the house, beach, staff, activities and surrounding area met or exceeded our expectations. One of the best vacations we have taken with a good combination of things to do and a great place to be if you don’t want to do.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Olivia! We really felt lucky to stumble on the 'find' that we did! Marianela was helpful as was Kimberly. We really had a great time stumbling through Spanish to get to know Kimberly, Jeffrey, and Bernardo a bit more. They were all so willing to help.
We're looking forward to scheduling another trip back...especially because we'll want to see how the new granite will look in the kitchen, haha!
Thanks again, and it was a pleasure working with you!

We just returned from a week's stay at Villa Olivia and it was
great! We had been 'warned' that it would be rainy season when we went, but that
was okay. We had beautiful mornings full of sun and blue sky - perfect for
morning walks, laying out in the sun, and boogie boarding in the waves. We had
rain in the afternoons, which made for a perfect time to catch up on reading and
relaxing in a rocking chair on the back porch.
Kimberly was a fantastic help and even accompianed us
to the 'fish guy' in Brasillito! And Ian and Corynne with Frijoles Locos were
also very helpful in setting up day trips, pedicures, and massages.
Overall it was a truly relaxing week. We almost can't imagine going during 'high
season' - as we loved being the only ones around! Thanks for a great time.

| Awesome place! Couldn't describe the amazing scenery and beautiful weather that split the days and nights. Swimming under the stars, or in the pouring rain where the water is warmer than the rain... simply divine. Or the ultra clear days, ended by the most serene sunsets. The house is awesome too, AC makes for a great night sleep, and really conducive for perfect meals at night. Overall great. |

| We were 6 people; 2 families sharing the Villa. We were delighted with the house. We loved opening all the doors and windows every morning to enjoy the breeze (slight at times though it was) but mostly the sound of the ocean. Our first night there we were awakened to the loudest thunder and the brightest lightening we had ever experienced. I love storms to it was a treat. Our last night there we sat on the porch and watched another storm move from Tamarindo down the beach. We loved deep sea fishing with Talking Fish; and a great ATV Tour & Zip Line arranged through High Tide in Tamarindo. A real treat (a bit more expensive) was a trip up to Playa Flamingo to a restaurant called Mar Y Sol. It was great. We also loved teh pie (my favorite was the Pineapple) at Noguies in Tamarindo. On our deep sea fishing trip we caught grouper, tile, tuna & mahi mahi so we cooked at home a lot. We enjoyed everything about Costa Rica, Villa Olivia and Corina Corina! Would love to come back some time. The Crisps & The Steffs |

Just Pura Vida. Had an awesome time. Relaxing
week. Great waves every day and the food was so
wonderful. The house is beautiful for couples
visiting your beautiful country. Having young kids
in different rooms was a little nerve racking for the
wife. I loved it.
Our family was also next door and we used there
pool as well as enjoyed our house. I will certainly
stay at the house again in our next trip. Thank you. |

I booked Villa Olivia for 4 adult couples who have raved about how glorious the place and the stay were.
Only negeative was that I had emailed a provisions list to Marianela who confirmed receipt and that those items would be awaiting their arrival. No provisions were there.
Other comments: They had a cook for one evening...Great meal!
Many terrific restaurants close to the villa. Best beach ever! |

| We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Olivia. This was the most relaxing part of our whole trip. We were just our family with three kids ages 11, 4, & 2. It was great time to reconnect, relax and rejuvenate ourselves. The kids had a blast building sand castles, catching hermit crabs, and collecting sea shells. This was total freedom, we felt like we had our own private beach! The thundering sounds of the waves was awesome yet soothing! We will definately be back some day! I can't forget to mention that the staff are truly wonderful people. |

We had 3 families traveling together (VanDerripe,
Bunnell, Eddy), party of 11 including 3 young
children (3-5 yrs.). We stayed at Villa Olivia. We
had good waves and weather everyday. We surfed
the main peak down by The Rip Jack, as well as the
rock formation out front. We tried most of the local
restaurants in Playa Grande, we frequented Kike's
the most as it had the best local Costa Rican
cuisine(breakfast and dinner) with the best local
pricing. We also liked the new Sushi Bar owned by
hosts Andrew and Tamarra. We also enjoyed MarBar
for lunch and a swim in the pool. You simply can't
beat the location and the sunrise and sunsets we're
magical. Plenty of monkey's if you search for them,
saw several crocs in the estuary on the water taxi
to Tamarindo. The Villa Olivia staff took care of
everything to make our stay very pleasant and
relaxing. Had plenty of hammock time, good times
with great friends, and an overall great family
vacation. Thanks, |

| We had a wonderful week in Playa Grande staying at Villa Olivia. We were so comfortable and it was amazing to walk out the front door and be right at home on the beach. We so enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks and sitting on the front porch rocking to the sounds of the waves. We were there on an adult family vacation and it was fun to share our time in your villa. We explored the coastline from Protrero to Tamarindo; sunning, walking the beaches,ATV riding, swimming, and eating in some amazing restaurants. Would recommend Outback Jack's in Brasilito followed by an afternoon at the Conchal beach. Rip Jack's was a favorite right down the road for breakfast, lunch, and dinners!! The ziplining at Witch's Rock was a thrilling experience for all of us across all ages! The riverboat ride on the Rincon followed by lunch was a great way to see some of the local country and amazing wildlife such as monkeys, crocidiles, and iquanas. Costa Rica is an unspoiled get away and the people are so friendly. Villa Olivia at Playa Grande is a special place with its openess to a remarkable beach and relaxing way of life. Thank you for a "true vacation". |

| We had a group of 10 adults and 11 children and had a wonderfull time. We all squeezed in and it was great! Definately recommend Shirley the cook. It was so nice to sit on the back porch and be able to watch the Dads surf and the kids play in the sand and warm ocean. So private! We also recommend the river boat/lunch/zip line canopy tour. We got 10 of the 11 kids on the zip line and they loved it - ages 3-9. We had a wonderful week and may make it annual!! We did get some bug bites, but not too bad. |

This was probably the best vacation ever for most of the 11 people in our group. Pros: Great oceanfront area. The prepared food was amazing. The villa is located on a great spot. Great activities...Catamaran tour w/snorkeling /kayaking/open bar, Palo Verde River tour, Witches Rock Canopy Tour, Deep Sea Fishing, Boogie Boarding, full day at the Rincon de la Vieja, surf lessons, and massages. The night watchman made us feel safe. Cons: At night we couldn't spend too much time in the kitchen/living area because of the bugs and heat, but the studio was a great place to play games and hang out. We probably should have gotten a cell phone rental as there was no phone/internet at the villa for our use and we couldn't get a pay phone to work when we got lost. We hired a driver for the Rincon trip, but he took us to the wrong place at first and drove very very slowly.

Julie,
Thank you for a beautiful beach location we can not say enough about Playa Grande great for all ages. We were an extended family of 10 for a post Christmas break and everyone loved the location. The house works well would remember to book Shirley for everyday next time but she was great, everyone was very helpful. It was much more crowded on the beach than it is in April but your spot is nice and removed from the crowds a definite plus! The waves were great and as always the people of Costa Rica wonderful. We had great weather, great meals and just an all around great time. Thanks again to all that help you make this lovely vacation spot work!

| We stayed in Julie's Playa Grande beach house in a party of 9 in June 2007. The house is large and spacious with a well equipped kitchen and great views. The beach was almost totally our own private beach. We loved eating in the outdoor dining room as a family. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. |

| Beautiful house with private surf spot right out front and no crowds! Look for high tide at Playa Grande and off-shore winds for great surf conditions. Take a walk north to the tide pools and black sand beaches. Very convenient house. Shirley did a great job cooking breakfasts and cleaning every morning. Highly recommend it! House is filled with tons of amenities. |

I can't say enough about our beautiful stay at Villa Olivia.
From the gorgeous location to the relaxed no pressure environment.
The staff was able to direct us to everything we were interested in doing;from zip lining through the jungle to getting a relaxing massage at the villa.
Everything was perfect.
There are no words to describe the utter beauty of Playa Grande the professional staff at Villa Olivia and the friendly generous hospitality of the Costa Ricans.
Between the stunning beach and ocean, brilliant sunsets and abundant animal life it's impossible to choose a favorite thing. It was all a dream vacation.
I recommend Villa Olivia 100%.
Cant wait to return.!!!

Our stay at Villa Olivia was one of the most memorable and relaxing vacations I have ever experienced. (This comes from one who lived and vacationed in Asia for 26 years--Bali, Phuket, Penang-- all in the days before tourism with a capital T arrived to over-populate and commercialize these pristine places.) The staff was helpful, engaging and personable! Costa Rica is an ecological gem--I hope to explore more of its interior on future visits. VO provides an easy launching ground to other adventures and a soothing landing place at the end of each day. Our stay was so terrific, I want to book for 2 weeks next November!!
Thank you, Julie, Marianella, Shirley and Agustine

This place was wonderful!! PURA VIDA! Even with a group of 14, we were able to enjoy ourselves and loved every moment of it. We surfed, swam, body surfed, got tan (and burnt), saw beautiful sunsets and sunrises. This house was great because of the location. Not having any access to TV, telephones or internet truly makes you relax and enjoy the time you have here. We were sad to leave but anxious for our next adventure. Enjoy yourself and relax!

Arrived and found the best thing to do was nothing. Relaxed, swam, surfed, walked, connected. The Pura Vida was wonderful! Staff and guard were tops (make sure you have fresca for the guard). Tamarindo was a let down. No worries, Playa Grande was where we had the best time. Surf was good on all days but one. Weather even in green season was fine, rained one day and most nights. Very safe, keep doors closed at nights- attack of the crabs.

Pura Vida, Pura Vida, Pura Vida. Playa Grande was amazing, I saw the potential of the waves here and how hollow the barrels can be. I couldn't believe that we rented this mansion on the beautiful land. Even though we got skunked fishing in the surf, thes was the best trip ever. No TV, no cells, no news, what more could you ask for, its all about the simple things down here, and we got it. It's great when you realize that all the superficial jargon in the states is a waste of time and money. It's all about the company down here and it's a beautiful thing when you are surrounded by the people you love and care for. The waves better be pumping the next time or I'll be spearfishing by ass off. I love the Ticos and their Tico-style and to all who visit, keep it mellow and don't be ignorant. Aloha.

We came to find a litte rest, a little getaway... We found paradise! The beauty, love and spirit we discovered have been inspirational for all of us. Thank goodness for Villa Olivia, the wonderful snapshots are in my head forever.

What can I say other than, "I cant go home." The booze cruise, the sunsets, the beach, the waves, the laughter...good, good times! This vacation as one may call it turned into a portal into another way of life... Costa Rica feels like home away from home! Thank you for your generosity of spirit and showing us the best time.

Villa Olivia...No words can describe the fun, beauty, and great time had here in Costa Rica. The beauty of crawling out of bed and walking on the beach...Can it get any better than this? Removing myself from the rat race we call LA, I can't think of a more relaxing, fun, and beautiful spot in the world to be. It will be in my memories for years to come.

Thanks for the great place to stay. WE have been traveling around Costa Rica for a week looking for good surf. so fat this has been our most memorable. The surfing has been poor but the beauty has made up for it.
