This place is a small paradise in the Costa rican caribbean. Highly recommended. Our family will come back for sure.

We really enjoyed villa margarita. Excellent location. Woke every morning to the sound of howler monkeys. We were there during Holy Week so was a crazy busy week. Upstairs and open kitchen was grand. Short walk to beach. We saw fireflies each night. Birds too. We would stay there again. Thanks

I rented the upper loft for my wife and I, and a couple of weeks later friends of ours agreed to join us; they were taking the lower level apartment. However, the lower level is not really set up for independent living, especially if you intend to use the advertised kitchen. The full house is appropriate for shared use of the loft kitchen/eating area with the lower bedrooms only being used for sleeping. The house is also located next to the main road so there is some traffic noise. But the loft area is a great place to hang out in the shade and there is a good cross breeze. The pool was very refreshing and we found the water quite warm from the hot Puerto Viejo sun. The beach is a short walk down the path from the house and it truly is beautiful; a great place for walks. There are two well-rated restaurants (La Nena and La Pecora Nera) and a bakery a short walk to the left of Casa Margarita on the main road, and the Cocles supermarket is an easy walk to the right. A bicycle rental shop is located right beside the bakery and they do not require you give them your passport; they take a photo of it. With the bikes it was a pleasant drive to Punta Uva and Puerto Viejo. Nathalia, our prime contact at the property management company, was extremely helpful in coordinating the details of our visit and reserving shuttles to and from the house. This was our first trip to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica but it won't be our last!

For our family of young and older adults, this was absolutely the most perfect house and location. Restaurants, stores and beaches are within close walking distance. Punta Uva, the town of Puerto Viejo, and attractions like the Jaguar Rescue Center are within easy biking or walking distance (including the restaurant La Pecora Nera). The jungle is all around, but the property is completely secured by fencing and there's a feeling of security as well as privacy. The managers (Mao when we were there) were so helpful, before and during our visit, and always available. The saltwater pool was lovely, and we had it all to ourselves since we rented the entire house. Star-gazing from the lounge chairs by the pool at night was amazing. Every morning we walked along the dirt road through the jungle to the beach to watch the sunrise. We took flashlights to see the leaf-cutter ants doing their thing along the path. Some mornings the howler monkeys would be right up overhead, which was thrilling to hear. There were so many different birds in the area around the house, including toucans. On the beach, where the nearby creek feeds into the ocean, there was a variety of shore birds there every morning. At the house, we spent most of our time at the pool or upstairs in the open kitchen area. It was always comfortable, with a ceiling fan as well as a floor fan and plenty of seating for six, including rockers and a hammock. It was the dry season so we had no problems at all with mosquitoes. The bedrooms were air conditioned, which provided a nice break from the humidity. The bedrooms also had screened windows that could be opened if preferred to a/c. We cooked a lot of our meals and found the kitchen well-equipped. If you rent the entire house there is also an indoor kitchen downstairs, but we didn't use it at all. There's a charcoal grill by the pool that we used one night to grill some fresh fish. Plenty of towels are provided, with extras for the pool. If you rent for an entire week, someone will come mid-week to clean, bring clean towels, and even change the sheets if you want. We loved the house. Away from the crowds of Puerto Viejo, but within biking distance, close to Playa Cocles (with a lifeguard and surfboard rentals), surrounded by nature, but also in the midst of a vibrant community, it was the perfect location for our family--just what we were looking for.

Estuvimos una semana con amigos en Puerto Viejo y esta casa tiene todo lo necesario, las habitaciones muy comodas, cocina equipada, tiene un jardin enorme y la piscina esta buenisima. Perfecta para visitar con grupos de amigos y familia. Muy cerca de la playa, restaurantes y supermercado. Tienes todo lo que necesitas en un solo lugar.

This house is a real deal! great location close to supermarket, restaurats and beach all walking distance. 3 comfortable rooms with AC and the pool, we were looking for good price with amenities and this place has all! Monica and Mauricio the mangers are great! Would love to come and visit again next year!

Wow what a great time we had. So relaxing and peaceful. We loved the true jungle that was all around us and the monkeys and so many birds right by our patio. Our amazing hosts Ken and Shelly took us to this great restaurant called El Fugio soso good.Thanks guys, you're awesome!!! The ocean is bath warm, we had so much fun playing in the water.I would definitely recomend this place for someone who wants to get away from it all. Yet there is lots to do if you wish to. We did the zipline, it was so exhilarating. Cant wait to go back.

This place was perfect for our two small families. The two bedrooms had air conditioners which were small but did a great job keeping them cool enough. The huge yard around the house was awesome. The house was furnished well with everything we needed. The beach next to the house was also just what we wanted. The owners we extremely kind and helpful. They lent us extra beach toys for the kids which was great. Everything was as we had hoped or better.

We stayed here for 5 nights and it has a great location near all the nice beaches in Limon, and also near facilities and stores that you can go walking. The beach is right there and you can even listen the waves at night, it’s fantastic. Thank you for your hospitality and effort to make us feel like we were home

My husband and I did our first non all inclusive holiday here. It was amazing. I will never go all inclusive again. The property was so beautiful with lush green and beautiful flowers. We got to see amazing birds and butterflies as well as lizards right on the property. The beach was so private and not busy at all. We could hear the waves crashing from the house. The food was fabulous, we didn't have one meal we didn't enjoy. The owners were so nice and helpful with every aspect of this holiday. I felt like I was at home but without the snow. The outdoor shower and cooking area was a fun place to unwind and visit with the other people staying on the property. We made some great friends. The zip line we did was awesome and there are many activities to choose from. Everything is walking distance from the property which was really fun. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great escape from it all.
