Wonderful
This property was exactly as listed and more. We stayed for 6 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The house has everything you need, including a compressor that came in handy when we discovered one of the tires on our car rental was very low. Beds are comfortable and the covered patio was a favourite hang out. Because it was very hot during our time there, we wish the pool had a cooling system. The pool was the main reason we chose this house. The water was very warm, bordering on hot so therefore not refreshing at all. We still rate this amazing house a 5 star for its amenities, proximity to the beautiful (and very quiet) beach and for the group of monkeys that came for a visit during our last day. Highly recommend.

Idyllic Stay in Playa Matapalo
This place has it all - fantastic beach with best sunsets, wildlife (sloths, monkeys, etc), and proximity to some of the best areas to visit (Uvita, Manuel Antonio, Rio Savegre, etc). Beautiful home and excellent host. Highly recommend!

Great stay!
We stayed 5 nights in late November. This house was probably the best equity rental home we ever stayed in. Lots of pool/beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, umbrellas, books, games, etc. we cooked several meals here and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The dark sand beach was beautiful and peaceful. Quick walk as advertised. Waves were good for kids to body surf/buggy board. It felt like a private beach. It was incredibly clean. We saw tons of wildlife at the house. White faced monkeys, a sloth, 2 types of toucans, macaws, frogs, iguanas, and lots of other birds. The back yard was wonderful for lounging in the pool and watching the birds and monkeys moving through the trees on the property. The house was more than big for 10 of us (4 kids and 6 adults). There are several sitting areas and 2 large balconies providing space for everyone. It is located on a very quiet street in a small, quiet town, truly a retreat. We went two restaurants near by which were fine for a quick bite. There is a convenient store down the street with a decent selection of basic items. The host and property manager were so attentive and helpful. We would definitely go back!

Beautiful Property
The house was amazing, clean, and relaxing. Elizabeth (the property manager) was very informative and quick to respond to any inquiries we had before and during our stay. This house is a hidden gem and located in a very quiet environment, which is exactly what we were looking for. We saw two sloths, parrots, and numerous monkeys on the property grounds. We loved every moment of it! Only minor mishap we experienced was no hot water in the master bedroom but that didn’t ruin our stay whatsoever.

Excellent stay
We spent 11 nights and loved every minute of it. We were 3 couples in our 60s and found the house very spacious, beautiful, and only a couple of minutes by foot to one of the nicest beaches in Costa Rica. We have seen many and this one tops them all. House is very well equipped, comfortable, and pool area amazing. We also enjoyed to watch the monkeys every morning as well as many species of birds. All in all enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to come back.

Amazing!
Words cannot express how amazing our stay was with Malwina and Elizabeth! First off, we informed then of two birthdays that we were celebrating and walked Into a home with a birthday banner, cake and multiple bottles of Prosecco! The house was fitted with some many comforts, I can't even list them! The fridge was stoked with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, some breakfast staples and other comforts made our first impression one for thr record books! Elizabeth (Property Manager) was incredibly thoughtful and responsive throughout our stay! We had a couple of minor issues with the pool and hot tub due to a storm but Elizabeth was quick to respond and fix where she could! Pepe and Esteban (gardener and pool man) were fantastic , friendly and professional ! Overall, amazing visit and would surely recommend then to anyone!!! A diamond for sure in the VRBO world!

Peaceful and Tranquil staycation
Villa Ardea Alba is the perfect spot for a peaceful and tranquil staycation. My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Ardea Alba over a long weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This home provides luxurious and extremely comfortable bedrooms with bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. What made us feel even more welcome was not just the inviting warm living room, but the little gesture of having a few food items to sustain us with our late check in. The front of the property provides the sights and sounds of waves crashing on the shores in front while the back of the house is home to beautiful scenic views of the fields and mountains afar. And if that does not satisfy your appetite for relaxation, you can go for a swim in the pool under the stars. And lastly we would like to appreciate the host and hostess of this lovely villa for making us feel so welcome during our stay. Hygiene is of utmost importance to us and this is exactly what we were provided with.
