The place was stunning and Juan Pablo was an amazing concierge, he helped us from the time of booking until we left. Very knowledgeable and willing to assist whenever possible. We had our wedding on the beach and it started raining and he gathered his staff quickly to find us a tent. Couldn't have been happier with the trip.

Our experience at the EOC completely surpassed our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the beauty of the property and of each villa.

The staff at the EOC who helped us organize everything prior to our arrival as well as oversee everything during our stay were outstanding and went above and beyond. Juan Pablo took such amazing care of our whole group.

We stayed here for our, very small, destination wedding. We brought our immediate family and a close friend each, and no other accommodations could have been better suited for this. The staff all added extra touches and lovely support surrounding the wedding as well, for which we are so grateful.

Such a quick walk to the beach from the villas over a small grassy lot which was lovely. We were so happy we had all of the kitchen amenities available to us as well so we could prepare our own food and drinks when desired. Taking a stroll down the beach to the local supermarket is always such a pleasure in Manuel Antonio.

Our fathers loved spending time in the pools at each villa and there was a private little area with chairs set up for us each day on the beach, where we spent most of our time.

Also so nice and close to the National Park, just a quick walk. One of our favourite places to visit in Manuel Antonio.

We are so grateful we found + booked the EOC for our "wedding vacation" and so honored we could share such a beautiful country and accommodations with our loved ones.

It will be our honor and absolute pleasure to visit again one day!

Pura Vida!

Great location. Great beach. Beautiful grounds, well-maintained. Fun. Well-staffed. Clean and safe. The four villas provide serene private space, each having its own pool. The communal space called "Gather" is lovely for coming together as a group for food, drinks, games, and/or making music.

Thank you!We are happy that you were pleased with our installations! I hope we can host your next group event or family reunion!Whatever you need we are here to make it happen for you!

The property is very well maintained and operated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Just a very short walk and you're on the nicest area of the beach. Chairs and umbrella setup daily. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

We have never been to Costa Rica but we were told the best wildlife viewing is in Manuel Antonio. That was the absolute truth. I found the Espadilla Ocean Club on Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, Emily welcomed us and helped unload our car, toured the facilities, etc. She also set us up with a cooler full of drinks, boogie boards for the kids, volleyball, and frisbee to go to the beach. This place only has 4 villas and it is so charming. The villa we stayed in was really nice with a kitchenette, a great table for games, and bedrooms upstairs. The master bed was right in front of the window where we had perfect viewing of the monkeys playing in the trees every morning AND a view of the beach. The patio had a hammock, splash pool, and a cute eating area. The beach is about 100 yards away (wear shoes and bug spray!) and was gorgeous! The waves were big but you could go out pretty far and remain standing. The kids had a blast boogie boarding and then we had dinner in the trees by the beach next door at the Buena Vista Beach Club. Our family absolutely loved it. We had the whole place to ourselves and watched monkeys play overhead during dinner with the ambiance of torches and white lights strung throughout.

Fabio hooked us up with the best tour guide for the national park and was so responsive to our every need. We ate meals in the main area and also in our villa, and the food was very good. We really loved everything about this place and only wish we could have stayed longer. The owners have done an outstanding job of creating a fun and relaxing escape in beautiful Manuel Antonio.

Oh wow! Thank you so much!This review is gold to our hearts!We are deeply pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much, and in all of its details.This really tells us we are on the right road to our goal: make this "more than a vacation, an experience"You guys were amazing guests and you are now part of the EOC family! we truly hope to see you again soon!

Perfect location for family spring break. House is great and great location to beach. The property itself is nice with very accommodating and helpful staff. Quick walk to market and restaurants. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous 7 day vacation for our family of 5. The beach front location was perfect for our three daughters. All the ocean activities were within 3 - 5 minute walk from the condo. Very nice family friendly restaurants were a 5 minute taxi ride. The staff was very attentive to our every need. The on site concierge team of Juan Pablo and Jose were excellent at making suggestions for activities and dining and making last minute arrangements. Bobby and Shelly have created a unique and enjoyable vacation environment.

I loved the design in the villa. Appreciate the simplicity. Btw, I’m happy there was no tv. We had our books. And the sea is right there.

It was super useful to order some food before hand. Helicopter ride was definitely a good option and cool experience to share!

Early blue moments before sunrise in the ocean. Fruits, wonderful local bf and great staff. Parasailing, hiking in the natural park. All the cool animals, spiders & plants discovered. Sunset by the ocean.

Skiing break well spent recharging our batteries with my dad, lil’ sis and two daughters.

In the end of the week, my heart was full. Thank you.

We had a lovely time. A pair of toucans arrived near our window every morning. There were white faced monkeys playing in the trees and on the beach. Howler monkeys in the trees. On our last day there the icing on the cake - a mama sloth with a baby right by our patio. We saw more interesting creatures here then at the park, but the park is awesome too. The accommodations are nice and well maintained. The concierge was extremely helpful. The only negative is the furniture is mostly built in - cement and tile, so not the most comfortable, but you’re not there to hang around the villa! The beach is fantastic. Loved playing in the waves. Also had a successful fishing expedition. Lots of mahi-mahi. Highly recommend! Bobby, Fabio and all the staff were very friendly. Pura Vida!
