Modern 4BR beachfront villa in a protected Costa Rican reserve offers stunning ocean views, a private pool, and seamless indoor-outdoor living just over an hour from San José.
The Space
This modern beachfront villa is situated within a protected biological reserve, directly facing the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the rare homes in Costa Rica located so close to the shoreline. The architecture is minimalistic and spacious, featuring a private pool, parking, and stunning ocean and sunset views. The villa offers all the amenities you would expect from a city home.
Ideal for families or groups of friends, the villa provides a tranquil setting for relaxation and close interaction with nature. During high tide, the ocean nearly reaches the front of the property. The reserve is home to a variety of wildlife, including monkeys, iguanas, and many exotic bird species frequently seen around the area.
The community is quiet and peaceful, with no commercial buildings nearby. It is a gated and secluded area with 24/7 security and surveillance. Despite its tranquility, the villa is conveniently located about a 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes drive from San José International Airport (SJO), making it one of the shortest city-to-beach trips in Costa Rica. The location also offers easy access to many popular destinations along the Pacific coast.
Constructed entirely from reinforced concrete and structural steel, the house features tempered glass facades, stainless steel railings, solid wood doors, elegant bedrooms, comfortable and well-appointed bathrooms, and a large, fully equipped kitchen. Modern LED lighting and passive design strategies have been incorporated to minimize the carbon footprint. The villa’s exceptional modern design, double-height interior spaces, and seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living will appeal to those who appreciate architecture, natural light, and beauty.
Guest Access
Guests will have exclusive access to the entire property during their stay. This includes all bedrooms and bathrooms, the private pool, BBQ area, and parking garages.
The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped, perfect for those who enjoy cooking. For convenience, guests can shop for groceries at the Walmart near San José International Airport before arriving. The villa also has a dedicated BBQ area ideal for grilling while enjoying ocean views.
If you prefer not to cook, a local Costa Rican restaurant offers delivery service directly to the villa. The food is delicious and affordable. Please ask the host for more information if interested.

Edgar was, without a doubt, the best host I’ve ever experienced. He personally greeted us upon arrival, gave us a full tour of the property, and shared helpful insights about Costa Rica . His home is stunning and we absolutely loved the indoor-outdoor living. We used the pool every day and truly the beach. The beds were comfortable, and the thoughtful bathroom amenities were a wonderful touch. He checked in multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly and was always quick to respond to any questions. We enjoyed every single moment. Thank you, Edgar

De mis mejores experiencias en Air BnB, definitivamente Edgar es un host que te hace sentir en casa desde el minuto 1, mi familia estaba encantada con su trato y todas las comodidades que nos brindó. La casa esta en excelentes condiciones y en un lugar privilegiado a solo unos metros del mar, es justo como se ve en las fotografías, el area de piscina es un sueño y te permite prescenciar el atardecer sin tener que moverte. Definitivamente pienso regresar !

This home is amazing! It's steps to a beautiful beach that's never busy. The private pool is perfect. It was so wonderful to wake up every morning to this beautiful view and end every night with breathtaking sunsets! Edgar was a wonderful host. He made us feel right at home and was extremely helpful with suggestions for activities and restaurants. He even had a birthday cake ready for my husband's birthday!

Edger was, by far, the best host I've ever dealt with. He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the place and a great synopsis of what to expect in Costa Rica, which made planning our stay easy. His home is absolutely gorgeous and very clean, and we loved the indoor/outdoor living. We used the pool every day and really enjoyed our walks on the beach. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the bathroom amenities he left for us. Midweek he checked in to make sure everything was going well and always responded quickly to questions we had. The personal chef he recommended for a special dinner was fantastic. We felt very safe and loved every minute of it. Thank you Edger, you're the best.

This place was amazing! The view of the beach, water and mountains....it soothes the soul. The sunsets take your breath away. Edgar is an incredible host. He is very responsive. He is also thoughtful. I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday and he arrived to greet us with a birthday cake. It's the little things like that, that mean a lot to me. Edgar also had assorted toiletries available in case we forgot to pack something. Again, it's the little things like this... I highly recommend this property if you want to relax and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. Edgar made the experience even more enjoyable by making recommendations for activities, etc. I highly recommend bringing Chef Alberto in for a night. His food was AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about our experience. You won't be disappointed.

This Airbnb was beyond amazing. It was even better in real life than the pictures show. We had a group of 6 adults and 5 kids and the place was spacious enough that everyone had lots of space. Being so close to the ocean was a huge plus for us. We loved going to the restaurant a few minutes down the road, Costa Linda. We also went to the beach bar and had amazing food, drinks and views of the ocean. Edgar as a host went so above and beyond. He was so quick to answer any questions for us before the stay and during the stay. He thought of every little detail. I have stayed at a lot of Airbnb’s and have never experienced a host so great. We had Alberto, a private chef, come one night and we really enjoyed his food and his company. A truly great person. I don’t have a single complaint and would highly recommend this place to anyone! I am already missing falling asleep and waking up to the ocean right outside our window.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Séjour absolument magnifique, 5 étoiles plus que méritées. L’endroit est encore plus beau en vrai que sur les photos, avec une vue exceptionnelle et une ambiance vraiment apaisante. L’hébergement est propre, bien entretenu et parfaitement situé pour profiter pleinement du séjour. L’hôte est toujours disponible, très attentionné et rapide à répondre, ce qui fait toute la différence et nous met immédiatement en confiance. On se sent vraiment bien accueillis du début à la fin. Un endroit magnifique, une vue incroyable et une expérience globale parfaite. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation et j’y retournerais avec grand plaisir.

Airbnb only supports 1,000 characters for their review. My positive and detailed review can be viewed here by an external link that Airbnb doesn't want to support. Link needs to be: http:// + bit +.ly + / + 4aLXTen It's worth the read. Regards, Bret Evans
