Jan Thiel vacation rentals

Our stay at Villa Sea Paradise was outstanding. We had made arrangements for the local property manager to shop for us ahead of time which was money well spent. It was nice to have cold beverages upon arrival. The house and the view could not be more beautiful. The kitchen opens to the outdoor seating areas so you always have the beautiful view. The villa is appointed nicely. Nice glasses and cookware, comfortable outdoor and poolside seating with umbrellas for shade, as well as comfortable beds. There is a TV room in the front of the house with lots of videos, but we didn't want to spend time inside. The wind was strong the week we were there and we didn't get to access the water from the swimming platform until the last day. It's a nice area to snorkel, lots of soft corals. You can also access the water via a ladder at the Papagayo resort and swim back to the villa (just remember to lower the ladder!). Other nearby areas to snorkel include Tugboat, Directors Bay, Caracas Bay. We had a delicious meal at Pop's on Caracas Bay after snorkeling there. It took some time but it was well worth the wait. We also took advantage of being able to walk to the nearby restaurants and grocery store. Both the owner and local property manager were a pleasure to work with. They responded to all of our questions promptly. I would highly recommend this villa.
