Luxurious glass home in Costa Rica’s nature preserve with stunning ocean views, a private pool, and jungle wildlife. Just minutes from beaches and vibrant surf towns.
The Space
Blue Sound is a luxurious glass home completed in July 2021, offering breathtaking ocean views and a private pool. Situated on a gated property, it provides complete privacy and is surrounded by a 100-acre nature preserve. The residence features three bedroom suites, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, indoor and outdoor showers, and spectacular views.
Designed by award-winning Costa Rican architect Roberto Rivera, the home includes a chef’s kitchen and custom-made furniture throughout. A yoga deck overlooks the jungle, where guests can watch howler monkeys from the pool area.
Location
Blue Sound is located within an international gated community nestled in a river valley protected by a nature preserve. It is just five minutes from the pristine beaches of San Juanillo and twenty minutes from Nosara, a vibrant yoga and surfing town.
Nearby activities include hiking, horseback riding, deep-sea fishing, and zip lining. Ostional, known for its large beach where tens of thousands of Ridley sea turtles nest, is a ten-minute drive away. The area also offers good restaurants and grocery stores, with recommendations available from the hosts.
Guest Access
Guests have full access to the entire home, pool, and surrounding grounds. Hiking opportunities are available both within the community and nearby, including trails along the Rio Rosario.
Additional Information
The home’s extensive use of glass allows for immersive jungle living while enjoying expansive views of the ocean, Rio Rosario river, and nature preserve. All bedrooms are equipped with blackout blinds for comfort.
The property is exceptionally private, with the nearest neighbor located a quarter mile away through dense jungle and on the opposite side of the hill. Guests will experience a true sense of solitude in nature.
Blue Sound is an excellent spot for bird watching and observing local wildlife, such as coatis, howler monkeys, and white-faced capuchin monkeys, from a safe distance. The owners built this home as their retirement residence but offer it for rent when not in use, and they are happy to share their local knowledge and tips.

Beautiful glass house overlooking the jungle and ocean. Loved spending time out at the pool watching the colorful birds and listening the Howler monkeys. Steven was an amazing host in every way! He was responsive to our questions and needs. Thanks Steven.

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The house is truly unique, with beautiful architecture, a great layout, and complete privacy. You really feel immersed in nature — it’s set right in the middle of the jungle with no neighbors around, which makes it very special. Waking up to the sounds of birds and seeing animals around the property was an incredible experience. The views are stunning, the pool is great, and the overall design of the house makes it both comfortable and memorable. That said, it’s important to understand what you’re booking: this is a true jungle experience. There’s nothing nearby, which is part of the charm, but it means you need to be comfortable being remote. Access requires a 4x4 vehicle, especially from the main road, and driving back at night in complete darkness is something to be prepared for. If you enjoy nature, privacy, and a bit of adventure, this place is perfect. We absolutely loved it and would definitely come back.

Sarah was a very generous and attentive host. She was helped by Stevie who was quick to respond to any questions and was also able to help us with his local knowledge of the area. The wildlife sanctuary is stunning and ours was a very memorable stay. Thank you!

Blue Sound Villa is paradise on earth! We had the most wonderful time. It was luxurious yet still rustic as we were surrounded by nature. The pool was a huge highlight and we spend many afternoons and evenings in the water. We cannot wait to return!

We had a truly wonderful stay! The house is architectural perfection,the glass walls make you feel completely immersed in nature while still enjoying total comfort. It is incredibly peaceful, the bedrooms are lovely, and we absolutely loved the bathrooms with the indoor/outdoor shower experience. The views are simply unbeatable! My personal favorite way to end the day was sitting by the pool and watching the sunset. If you’re looking for a serene getaway with stunning vistas, this is the place. We didn't want to leave!

Quite an incredible stay! You truly feel like you’re alone with the jungle. There is no one around you at all and you just hear all the animals. The house was beautiful beyond words and very clean and well maintained. The entire house is glass which is amazing! (You’ll see some bugs too - they recommend dimming the lights or they will definitely come in the house). Outside there was such a peaceful, quiet and private atmosphere with a such a beautiful view. A great pool as well! Steven was so kind and helpful, and very responsive. He also quickly got us some awesome surfing lessons and zip line tours! The drive is a little rocky for sure but you get used to it. It’s definitely worth it. Overall beautiful stay.

Staying here was an absolute dream. If you're looking to truly disconnect and soak in the raw beauty of Costa Rica, this is the place. Remote enough to feel like your own private slice of paradise, yet still close to small local spots that give you a real taste of pura vida living. The beaches were some of the most stunning we’ve ever seen—quiet, unspoiled, Playa Palada probably being the most fun for our young kids. The home itself was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Kids loved the pool! We’ll never forget falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the jungle and having the koatis and bird come to the pool for a quick sip. If you're craving nature, tranquility, and an off-the-beaten-path adventure, this place is it. Already dreaming of coming back!
