We could not ask for a better location. Beautiful ocean views and a wonderful pool. Mal Pais is a wonderful small fishing village. There is a great little store, a restaurant/pizza place and brewery. The fishing excursions with guides via morning kayak and afternoon panga provided plenty of our food!I suggest renting ATVs to share for the week.They offer everyone in the group independence and a wonderful way to explore the peninsula. Thank you !

Amazing Getaway!
This house was absolutely amazing! We booked this trip to celebrate my wife's Birthday and all had a fantastic time! The views were gorgeous in every direction and the location was perfectly located just outside of town. The house itself was incredibly spacious and accommodating for my wife, myself and five friends (and we could have easily fit more). There was a very private feel at the house while the location allowed us to easily access all that town has to offer. Our hosts, Pat and Mati were very attentive regarding any requests that we had while maintaining a genuine respect for our privacy. It was a perfect balance. Pat and Mati helped us set up our ATV rental which was conveniently delivered to and picked up from the house. They also had fantastic restaurant recommendations and were more than willing to help us out answering any other questions that we had. I would note just as other have in their reviews that it would be very much recommended to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to access the house as there some inclines and rocky terrain but this just added to the adventure.All in all, we can't say enough about this property and our kind hosts. Thanks again and we hope to come back for another visit soon! Pura Vida!

Great Experience
The views and the house are incredible. Without a doubt I would rent it again. The host Maximo was always very friendly and always attentive to any questions.
Very nice place. Host was great and the place worth the money.
Villa is very large, clean, and dog friendly.
I recommend to Rent ATV. I have a Honda Odyssey with 3500cc motor. I thought I could climb up however I almost broke the car.
Also you should visit santa teresa beach and also mal pais.

The views are the best!
We stayed for a month with friends and family coming and going. There was plenty of space for each of us to have our privacy while still being able to gather for dinner and hang out together.
The pool was a nice surprise with it being about 8’ deep on one end. It’s close enough to walk down to the beach through the hotel below.
The staff there are so helpful and welcoming. A/C in each of the rooms make it nice for sleeping.
Last but not least, the view from there is truly spectacular!

Breathtaking house trouble checking in
The house in Malpais is absolutely breathtaking! The views are incredible, the house is perfect, and the accommodations were better than expected. We did have some troubles upon check in. When I checked in at the house, after a very long drive, I was told that the VRBO property manager did not tell John, the hotel manager, of our arrival and we ended up spending the first night in the hotel as the house was not yet ready for us. This was very disappointing but overall the rest of the week was incredible and would love to go back!

Two families for New Years week
The house is amazing. View and pool spectacular. Rooms clean and comfortable. Cindy the manager helped us with everything an d was wonderful to work with . Set up amazing cooking class with Barb, our dinners, surfing lessons, massages, fishing and zip lining. The house is just above the hotel so nice to be able to walk down to bar/restaurant. Food there was excellent!!! We had tire issues on way there and staff helped us get that situated too!
Note: you absolutely need 4x4 to get to the house. We parked our non 4x4 at hotel and walked up but it is VERY steep.
Probably should have taken shuttle from airport and rented ATVs for the week instead.
Wish there had been more chaises by the pool for everyone to have place to lounge. And yes WiFi did not always function but that seemed to be global issue not specific to house.

Adventures in Paradise
Our three generation family traveled to Malpais as this year's annual week-at-the-beach to reconnect and have fun. The setting of Casa Moana couldn't have been more perfect for teenagers through the generations to grandparents. The house was absolutely lovely, equipped with everything we could possibly need. Jon was always readily responsive to all of our needs, and arranged for tours (canopy tour and zip lining, snorkeling and whale watching, surfing lessons for our 2 oldest grandsons, and a tour to the waterfalls and cliff jumping. In between all this activity the lovely pool was waiting for us, to begin and end our days.
I must reinforce the other reviews for this house …. believe us all when we say ATVs are a must, and the preferred way to get around town and to the beaches. It is really not walkable, and the roads are a challenge until you get used to them. With that said, our boys thoroughly enjoyed "chauffeuring" the rest of us around on the ATVs after very quickly becoming acclimated. Cabs are also easy to call and very responsive, should you choose not to drive into town for dinner. I would also caution renters to determine whether the hotel below is open and the restaurant available for meals if you are travelling during the off season as we were. We were able, however, to walk up the driveway to another hotel with bar and restaurant in the property next door. All in all, nevertheless, this was a most marvelous trip and family experience. Our sincere thanks to Aidan and Jon!

Amazing place to stay
Pros: amazing view of the ocean, great pool, and great open living plan- couldn’t hear anyone in their rooms and it was very private. The bathrooms were really nice and the maids cleaned so well every time they were there. There’s also some cool bugs, monkeys, and iguanas around the property which was cool to see! Easy to set up activities with the manager.
Cons: road up requires 4x4 unlike roads in town; these are small nit picky things but WiFi doesn’t reach all rooms and the main fridge was not cold enough but there was a back up fridge for ice and keeping things cold.
Overall an amazing house and we had a fabulous time!

Loved the house! Perfect for our 3 families. The view was awesome, would definitely come back again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time in MalPais. The house was our own private resort, with stunning views. The weather was great. we even got to see an electrical storm - thanks Aidan! I’m sure you had that set up for us. 😊 We enjoyed the MalPais zip lining, walking in the protected national park in Cabuya, and a trek to Montezuma. Highly recommend quads and/or the side by side 4 wheel vehicle to cruise around in. Perfect family vacation.

The pic's don't tell the half of it. It's a very special place in my families memories.
This experience was exactly what I wanted for my family. There were 11 of us 6 adults and 5 kids 10 to 17. It was quite an experience getting there, but I wouldn't change it for the world. The roads are a challenge and the driveway it an amazing experience. That being said I wouldn't want to do it in the rainy season. Always rent a 4x4 otherwise it will be a real drill. The house is amazing with room for 11 with no problems and views that kept me at the house for 10 days we were there. The rest of the family did everything that was offered in the area. None of us wanted to leave, but were off to the next adventure. Enjoy your stay we sure did.

Wonderful ocean views in a quiet elegant setting
We had an amazing time - we were two families for a week over New Year's Eve. The house was just as shown - well appointed, very spacious and private with an incredible view and stunning sunsets - perfectly watched from the infinity pool where we had a hard time distinguishing the edge of the pool to the ocean - true infinity. We walked down to Hotel Moana Papaya lounge for several meals and the staff there were super friendly and the meals great (with nearby monkey displays to make the breakfasts even more memorable). As well the Hotel staff at the registration desk (Cindy and Maria) helped us to arrange local transport for regular surf lessons. We also had Ono Cuisine come to prepare a few meals and Thor and Maria did not disappoint. We organized lots of day trips - birding, surfing, hiking - through Anywhere Costa Rica - we would highly recommend them. All in all a wonderful stay and we would not hesitate to return.

Well laid out for a large family group so there is a feel of privacy and connection at the same time
Stayed with a multi-generation family group of 8. Enjoyed the layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms - we all had our space. Central kitchen, dining and lounge overlooking the pool and ocean view is ideal for a group.
Laundry onsite and driveway space for cars/atv’s.
Upper level ‘hacienda’ is a lovely spot with shade and usually a breeze.
The location is both a blessing and a curse. The views, breeze and fresh (read not dusty) air is wonderful. However there is a lack of trees for shade and the roadway in/up from the main road is brutal and frankly dangerous. Also to walk down to the hotel/restaurant from the house, one needs to walk on a steep rocky dirt path (unlit) entering the restaurant at the service entrance to the kitchen.
The kitchen needs some immediate sprucing up including more/better contents. Amount and quality of towels needs improvement.
Surprised that there was no propane for cooking on our arrival and it took several days to rectify.
Would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues- this applies in general to Mal Pais as the roads are very pitted/potholes and cause jarring rides. Within walking distance of the main drag of shops/restaurants/Carmen beach for those in shape (2km) and willing to get very hot and covered in roadway dust/dirt and playing a bit of ‘Frogger’!! Atv’s are great to get groceries (very few taxis available).
Excellent restaurants including Moana, The Bakery, Mary’s, Caracolas. Lovely people and generally great service. Running shoes and/or sport sandles are a must - if you’re an individual/family who likes pristine high end high heeled glamour then this town is not for you. If you are in good shape, like to be active and don’t mind a bit of dust and dirt then you will see past the potholes and be able to soak up all this town has to offer!
Truly a memorable trip for our group aged 14-77!!!
