Secluded beach house with amazing view and pool

The Space

This luxurious, fully equipped house offers three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, along with a living room, a full kitchen, and a dining area. It is ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a comfortable and private retreat in Costa Rica.

The property is nestled among forested mountains, providing stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and proximity to world-class, uncrowded surfing spots. Daily housekeeping is provided, adhering to the highest cleanliness standards. Transportation and tours can be arranged through reliable local businesses.

Location

Situated in the secluded Nicoya Peninsula within the Guanacaste province, the house immerses you in nature. Wake up to the calls of howler monkeys, step outside to spot migrating whales from the pool, and observe beautiful scarlet macaws flying through the trees.

You can spend your days relaxing by the pool or ocean, reading in a hammock, or embarking on adventures such as surfing, kayaking, and fishing. On the short walk to the beach, you might encounter deer, coatis, and numerous tropical birds. Alternatively, enjoy watching these creatures while sunbathing or sipping a drink by the pool.

Nearby, the Camaronal Wildlife Refuge offers unique experiences like observing nesting sea turtles at night and witnessing hatchlings at dawn or dusk. It also features powerful, uncrowded waves perfect for surfing. Corozalito Beach provides similar opportunities for surfing and turtle watching, with even fewer visitors.
