WOW - I can't believe how nice Ed and Lorrie are! Their villa is beautiful, they live on the top level so if there is any problem (like you forgot your beach towel or how to play hearts) they can deal with it immediately - amazingly hospitable. Within the first 3 hours we had already taken a video to entice... More

This vacation started with trip advisor. I regard and value each review. This is where I found Villa Vista Mar and finalized the whole vacation. The owners Ed and Lorrie were extremely helpful with all our plans. Many months ahead of the vacation, we sent emails back and forth and they made very helpful suggestions. They helped us find a...

Wonderful Place, clean, beautiful and away from the crowd but close enough to go to town, and plenty of places to eat, close to the beach. Great place to stay, and Ed and Lorrie are great hosts. If you want the party crowd this is not the place but if you want peace quiet and serenity...you cannot go wrong here. More

Located in a quiet, residential area, ten minute walk to choice of two beaches. The Villa has three apartments, beautiful swimming pool and lovely terrace.

great beach, wonderful views, excellent and stylish apartments, sweet pool. The friendly owners Ed and Lorrie live on property and are available for all needs and requests. Apartment living was a nice change after having been in hotel rooms for 14 days - we will definitely go back and recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place... More

We absolutely loved our time at Villa Vista Mar. Ocotal was the perfect spot for us, it was a clean, quiet beach with beautiful views, tide pools to explore and troops of howler monkeys in the trees. Not too far from Playa Coco where there are plenty of restaurants and shops but a completely relaxing, private feel. But the most... More

Villa Vista Mar exceeded our expectations. The views are absolutely georgeous! Ed and Lorrie are exceptional hosts; they picked us up at the bus in Playa del Coco and showed us how to get around the area, recommended restaurants and told us where to see a great sunset. They arranged a car rental for us which was very helpful. We... More
