Luxury Ocean View Villa + Pool + Wi-Fi + Surf - Houses for Rent in Pavones, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Nadiah’s place was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures truly do not do it justice. The home is situated on a mountain surrounded by jungle and overlooking the beach. Despite the secluded location, it’s only about a 8 minute drive down to the beach and the small local restaurants. Our stay was lovely and Nadiah was incredibly helpful and responsive. Pavones is a fairly secluded area so this location is great for anyone who enjoys nature, wildlife, and beautiful beach sunsets. The surf was incredible and we were even able to book a fun boat tour last minute. Will definitely return!

Christy, thank you so much for your beautiful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the peaceful jungle setting, breathtaking views, sunsets, and incredible surf. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’re glad you were able to experience so much of what makes Pavones so special. Thank you as well for your kind words about our home and communication. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to La Joya Del Sur anytime. Pura Vida!

A beautiful place; the view is breathtaking! Super quiet, and the setting is unbeatable—surrounded by a completely natural environment, you feel immersed in it, and it's utterly relaxing! The house is beautiful, with delightful details! Excellent hosts! I appreciate all the help provided. We hope to be back soon!!!

Un lugar hermoso; la vista es impresionante! Super tranquilo y el entorno es insuperable en medio de un ambiente completamente natural te sentis sumergido en él y te relaja completamente! La casa es hermosa con detalles que encantan! Los anfitriones excelentes! Agradezco toda la ayuda brindada. Esperamos volver pronto!!!

We had a beautiful stay in Pavones—this home is truly special. The view is incredible, especially at sunset, and we saw toucans and guacamayas every day, which made it feel magical. The house is comfortable and well done—beds were great, the pool was perfect for relaxing, and the outdoor shower was a highlight. We surfed Pilón every day (about a 20-minute drive), and also loved nearby spots—La Piña has great pizza (even gluten-free), and La Choza de Gaby is absolutely delicious and worth the drive. As others have mentioned, a 4-wheel-drive vehicle is needed. We’d absolutely come back.

Hi Mary Grace, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re so happy you had such a beautiful stay and were able to experience the sunsets, wildlife, and everything that makes the home feel so special. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the pool, outdoor shower, and exploring nearby spots as well. La Piña and La Choza de Gaby are some of our favorites too. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. Pura Vida!

Since we arrived, we fell in love with the place. The view is spectacular: the jungle surrounding the house and the ocean in front, with a beautiful infinity pool. The sunsets are simply unforgettable. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The master bedroom, with its tub and view, was one of our favorite spaces. Also, we were lucky enough to see toucans and macaws, which the whole family loved. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and got a restful night's sleep. Definitely a place that is totally worth it, especially for people like me who love sunsets!! ♥️

Desde que llegamos, nos enamoramos del lugar. La vista es espectacular: la selva rodeando la casa y el mar al frente, con una hermosa piscina infinita. Los atardeceres son simplemente inolvidables. La casa es muy cómoda y cuenta con todo lo necesario para un descanso perfecto. La habitación principal, con su tina y vista, fue uno de nuestros espacios favoritos. Además, tuvimos la suerte de ver tucanes y guacamayas, lo que encantó a toda la familia. Disfrutamos muchísimo nuestra estancia y logramos un descanso reparador. Sin duda, es un lugar que vale totalmente la pena principalmente para personas como yo que ama los atardeceres!! ♥️

Hi Melany, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. I’m so happy you and your family fell in love with La Joya Del Sur! it really is a special place, and you described it perfectly. The sunsets, wildlife, and that peaceful jungle-ocean view are exactly what we hope every guest gets to experience. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the home, especially the master suite and those unforgettable moments with the toucans and macaws. That’s what makes it all worth it. We truly appreciated hosting you and would love to welcome you back anytime.

Our stay at Nadiah’s house was a really great experience. The view is incredible, beautiful sunset by the pool , the jungle , just stunning ! The house itself is a very well maintained space , great spaces maybe missing some cupboard in one of the room but that was the only down point …. If we had to find one . Thanks again ! We will definitely come back !

Thank you so much for your kind words! it truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy you enjoyed the views, sunsets, and the peaceful jungle setting. It’s exactly what we hope every guest gets to experience while staying at La Joya Del Sur. You were such a wonderful guest, and we would love to host you again anytime. Pura Vida and safe travels until we see you next time.

This home is has a stunning view that is well worth the 4WD access only road. Best sunsets ever! Abundant birdlife visiting the poolside daily, monkeys in the trees and very comfortable  AC and beds! In general the home was well maintained but a little bit empty with necessities. No bedside tables, no closets or anywhere to put clothes, no spare toilet paper, no body wash, shampoo or conditioner, personal items in closets/showers, fridge filter wasn’t working and some items in kitchen were broken or lower quality. A few thoughtful upgrades would make this place worth the price. Unfortunately, the water pump stopped working on our third day and we were asked to leave due to safety issues. The host initially was supportive, but was ultimately unresponsive and we had to contact Airbnb directly to receive the appropriate refund. While we really enjoyed the location, we were not hosted well at all. Hopefully this situation will be resolved quickly and we wish all the best for Nadiah.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the views, sunsets, wildlife, and location. For future guests, the home is accurately represented in the listing photos and description. Bedside tables, closet space, and room layouts are clearly visible in the images, and the property matches what is shown. La Joya Del Sur operates on a private well system, and water conservation is disclosed as important. When the pump burnt up and stopped working, we acted immediately. A technician was dispatched, and out of caution we offered relocation options and coordinated directly with Airbnb to ensure unused nights were refunded promptly. We also offered assistance with nearby alternative accommodations to minimize disruption. All communication was handled through Airbnb so everything was properly documented and resolved. The 4x4 vehicle requirement is clearly disclosed in the listing. We remain committed to maintaining the property to a high standard and addressing any issues quickly.

Wonderful property.  Beautiful view of the sunsets. Refreshing infinity pool surrounded by a luxurious space.

Thank you so much, Alan. We’re really glad you enjoyed the property and those sunset views - they never get old for us either. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing stay.

We had such an amazing stay, the view was breathtaking and the house is beautiful. The house was very clean and checking in and communication was very easy. Would recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much, Hanna. We’re so happy to hear you had such a wonderful stay and that you enjoyed the views, the home, and the overall experience. It truly means a lot to us. You’re always welcome back, and we’d love to host you again anytime.

Nadiah’s place looks amazing in photos but in real life it’s something else! The view is absolutely breathtaking. Property itself is thoughtfully designed, modern and airy, and comes furnished with everything you might need for your stay. We will absolutely be back here. Pool deck is the real star of the show with a nice sized pool overlooking the ocean and providing the most beautiful sunsets. Location is very private and absolutely worth the drive up. Be advised you will need a real 4x4 to get up comfortably. We rented a Land Cruiser and never had any issues on the road up. Pavones in general is my new favorite place in Costa Rica. People are friendly and living the Pura Vida! This place is free from major hotels and resorts, if you’re into supporting the local businesses like we are, you will enjoy it. We went surfing with Coco who runs a company called Cocodrone. Highly recommend him for your surfing lessons.

Thank you so much for your incredible review! It truly means the world to us that you enjoyed your stay at La Joya Del Sur. I’m so happy to hear the views and the pool deck left such a lasting impression—and that the house had everything you needed to feel right at home. You’re exactly the kind of guest we love to host—adventurous, appreciative, and supportive of the local community. I’m so glad you got to experience Pavones in all its magic and even caught some waves with Coco—he’s the best! We would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. Until then, keep enjoying that Pura Vida spirit!

My family and I LOVED our stay at this beautiful oasis on the mountain.   It had been years since my husband and I had stayed at Pavones.... and this was the perfect way to come revisit the town and show its beauty to our two boys (10 and 13).  A short drive to the beach for some surf and evenings poolside watching the sunset and coming storms.  We would def stay here again.  Clean, comfy, great hosts.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a memorable stay at our jungle paradise. It sounds like revisiting Pavones was a special experience, and we’re glad our home could be part of that. Watching the sunsets and storms from the poolside truly is magical! It was a pleasure hosting you all, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for more surf, relaxation, and jungle adventures. Please don’t hesitate to reach out when you’re ready for your next getaway! Safe travels and pura vida!

Stayed here for one week as a home base to surf Pavones. 4 wheel drive definitely required for access but once at the property we had a stunning view of the jungle and ocean. About 10 mins to Pavones beach and another 10 to Punta Banco. Modern amenities provided, excellent kitchen, pool, and bedrooms. However, we had several properties prolonged instances of power outages and one instance of wifi outage which Nadiah was available for help with, so the property is not entirely reliable for either service. No back up generator on site. Could also use dressers for clothing storage. Overall, great location in the rugged surf town of Pavones and generally satisfied with our stay.

We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the stunning views, modern amenities, and the beautiful surroundings of our property. It sounds like you made the most of your surf trip, and we’re glad our home could serve as a comfortable base for your adventures. This part of Costa Rica is still developing, and while the natural beauty is unbeatable, occasional interruptions are part of the experience here. We’re always working to make our guests’ stays as seamless as possible and are grateful for your patience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Wishing you many more great waves and adventures ahead.

What a spectacular home. We so enjoyed our stay at Nadiah’s! The setting is idyllic- private, so comfortable and yet close to the town. What a treat and we will definitely be back!

Fantastic place with a magic view and amazing pool. Everything was perfect there, we loved it with our 3 little boys. The access is super challenging so anticipate it with a good car but the reward is spectacular…

This was our second stay at Nadiah's place, and it's still our favorite Airbnb. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Thanks Andrew! We look forward to your return! Pura Vida

Nadiah's house is breathtaking beyond words!  This is by far one of the most magical places we have ever stayed.  The view of the jungle and ocean from the infinity pool is stunning.  Nadia and the property manager Erick were extremely nice and helpful during our stay.  As far as getting to the house, we had a 4x4 vehicle (which you would want/need for getting around) and rented an ATV (our preferred method of getting around) and had no trouble getting to and from the house.

Hi Alex, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the experience magical. We would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. Looking forward to your next visit! Pura Vida! Nadiah

Nadiah’s home far exceeded our expectations. The space was clean, private, spacious, very comfortable and had a full kitchen! The view of the sunset each night is the best in Pavones. The pool is very clean and well-maintained. We’ve been coming to Pavones for a few years and this is the most beautiful home and view! Nadiah is also extremely helpful with clear directions, local recommendations, and a quick response time in case anything is needed! She is an amazing host. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this stay. This was a trip we will always remember.

Dear Alexandra, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am thrilled to hear that your stay at my home exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the clean, private, and spacious space with a full kitchen. I'm glad you appreciated the beautiful sunset views and the well-maintained pool. I'm also happy to hear that you found my recommendations helpful and that I was able to assist you promptly during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Thank you for choosing to stay at my home and for recommending it to others. Warm regards, Nadiah

The place is stunning - the house, the pool, the view and the jungle and birds around. We could not go up with our Nissan SUV, good 4x4 is required, we just asked locals to bring us there. I missed washing machine and some shelves to put the stuff, I wouldn’t choose different places because of those things, but these things could improve.

Nadiah's place was such a very special place for us.  We felt as if we were an integral element of an open, unrestricted aviary as the sights and sounds of nature were an incredible multidimensional symphony!  The view is spectacular along with the architecture.  You must be prepared with 4WD to experience all of this so bite that bullet!  Thank you Nadiah!

Nadiah’s place was absolutely incredible and exactly the vacation we were looking for. The home is thoughtfully designed with a modern aesthetic and the views from every room overlooking the jungle and Ocean is breathtaking. We arrived on our first day to the sounds howler monkeys on the property along with macaws and toucans flying overhead. If privacy is that you crave in a vacation, look no further. This place is a gem.

Thanks for a lovely stay. The view and the sunsets were spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. What more could you ask of paradise.

Brand new modern home with 2 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms (master w/ tub and outdoor shower; and then another with master bed and a bunk for 2 plus an indoor shower). Great living room and open kitchen, with amazing sunset views over the infinity pool. Air conditioning in all 3 rooms. Perhaps they could add a small dresser or two in each room. You need a 4x4 to get up the road. About 5 minutes beyond the house, there's a jungle trail -- the trail can get muddy, and some parts are steep. Hike straight in, then turn left at the first junction and walk for a mile to cross a stream, beyond which you'll eventually end up in a thick jungle (to the north of the house) surrounded by howler monkeys. Pavones is a big surfer town with secluded beaches and relaxing restaurants. Ebenezers has great fish, caught by the owner's brother Leo (who can be hired to go on fishing and boat tours - book ahead). He's the guy you should buy fish from (that's where the locals buy their fish).

Fabulous home with stellar view of the ocean and sunset.

Thanks for the nice words. We hope you come back too!

Thank you for the nice compliments. Pura Vida

After 15 years of staying in Airbnbs around the world, Nadiah's home ranks #1.  This is a very special place.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy to share our special home with you and hope you will be back soon ! Pura Vida !!

Nadiah's place was the perfect home away from home during our trip to Pavones. It was super comfortable and spacious, with an amazing pool and perfect views from every room. The proximity to town was great - close enough for easy trips down but far enough where you felt truly tucked away in the mountains. I'll plan to book again next time I visit Pavones.

I can  not imagine a better place to stay in Pavones. This amazing house more than lived up to expectations. The infinity pool is the best I've ever seen. The modern home is stunning.  The 10  minute drive up the hill is awesome and only adds to the experience.  If  considering this house for a stay, book it now, it won't disappoint.

it's rare that a place looks like the photos, this place is clean, well designed and amazing.  the sunsets were unreal, lots of wildlife.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I look forward to hopefully hosting you in the future. Pura Vida!!!

The place was amazing. Everything was new, great location, and one of the best views I’ve had yet in Costa Rica. I’ve been traveling the country for 3 months and I would highly recommend it. (We had a good all day rain and still didn’t really need 4x4 for the road, but it did look a little visually intimidating arriving at night in the downpour:)

We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend Nadiah’s place! This beautiful new home has breathtaking views! Immersed in the jungle, the highlights are the infinity pool, the outside shower and the views! Nadiah was very responsive and flexible with our check out time - we were so happy to find this place for our last minute trip to Pavones! Great privacy, and great for families (outdoor mini soccer, games and puzzles)  Note: the drive up the mountain requires a 4x4 - it makes for a great adventure.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. It’s a really new home and we are working on those suggestions. See you again next year!

All I can say, is WOW!! I felt like I was staying at my own private resort. I’ve been coming to Pavones for years, but this place blew my mind!!Definitely need a 4x4,  but that’s part of the adventure of Costa Rica. It’s close enough to the surf and town (5-10 mins), yet far enough to feel like you’re all alone.  Woke up at sunrise to meditate and couldn’t believe all the sounds of the wildlife in the jungle!! Wish I could’ve stayed longer! Also, thankful the host letting me book last minute because my other place fell through, so actually stumbled on this on accident.  Pura Vida!!!
