Oceanfront villa in Puerto Carrillo with stunning Pacific views, 3 bedrooms, private pool, and outdoor dining. Just minutes from beaches and lively town, perfect for a tranquil getaway.
The Space
Wake up to the soothing sound of crashing waves at Villa Las Mareas. This oceanfront villa in Puerto Carrillo features three spacious bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and air conditioning for your comfort. Additionally, there is a comfortable sofa bed available as a fourth sleeping option.
The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for those who enjoy cooking and sharing meals with friends and family. A barbecue grill on the patio allows you to prepare fresh seafood or steaks while taking in stunning Pacific Ocean views. Dine outdoors on the large patio and let the sound of waves crashing against the rocks relax your senses.
The villa’s highlight is the beautiful private swimming pool overlooking the ocean. Take a refreshing swim while admiring the coastline, then watch spectacular fire-orange sunsets and gaze at the stars in the evening. Local wildlife, including tropical birds and curious monkeys, often visit the property, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.
Location
Villa Las Mareas is located just a five-minute drive from the pristine white sands of Playa Carrillo, offering privacy while remaining close to the beach. The lively town of Samara is only 15 minutes away by car, providing a variety of restaurants and dining experiences to suit any occasion, from romantic dinners to fun nights out.
Guest Access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire villa, ensuring complete privacy during their stay. Between January 28, 2026, and March 13, 2026, the owners’ parents-in-law will occupy a separate servant’s studio on the side of the villa. This studio is not connected to the main house, and they do not use the pool or interact with guests. They are 82 years old and keep to themselves, so you will hardly notice their presence.
Additional Information
Please inform us in advance if you require any of the three available air mattresses.

Villa 8 was amazing. The view from house is incredible and well beyond the description. Dimas took excellent care of us and is incredibly responsive.

We just returned from a 3-week stay in Patrick's villa and I'm still hearing the peaceful sound of the surf pounding. You can watch the sunrise and set from the house. It was a very easy house to stay in and and we loved the layout, the pool, and the views. It's located on a private dirt road for morning walks. There are a few areas to walk down to see the tide pools (which is a must). We cooked most of our meals at the house and it was nice to have a good selection of cookware, utensils, and serving pieces. The only suggestion I have is to provide an electric hot water teapot. The small town of Carrillo has some new stores & there's a few good local restaurants so you don't have to drive all the way to Samara. We had a few issues with things at the beginning that were quickly addressed by Dimas who lives nearby. We loved the beach chairs and new towels Patrick provided us! Not sure I'll be back but I love Playa Carillo so it's a possibility! Thanks Patrick!

This was our second year in a row at Patrick’s place and we loved every minute of it. A quiet spot with a beautiful view. We recommend sneaking down to the private beach area next to the house to explore the tide pools. Already looking forward to next year.

Villa Ocho has become a family tradition for many years. We hope to continue this tradition next year. We love Puerto Carrillo, and Villa Ocho.

Our second stay at Patrick's ocean villa was as enjoyable as the first. Incredible location on a lovely property with plenty of room for two (or three) families to spread out. Saw plenty of wildlife (birds, butterflies, monkeys, iguanas, and even whales), enjoyed beautiful sunsets by the pool, and always felt safe. Dimas was great when we needed assistance - very helpful and knowledgable. Hope we have the opportunity to visit again. Pura Vida!

The location is stunning. There is nothing like swimming in a pool while watching the waves crash on the shore. We have friends who live across the street & with our large group we were in need of a few extra bedrooms & the house for the bill. The kitchen was well equipped & there is a grill, but we never cooked here to be honest. What time we did spend at the house was outside having coffee in the morning or swimming in the pool. Town & the beach is a drive so you might want to rent a car. if you rent in Samara, they will deliver to the house. Our group hired a shuttle to pick us up from the airport & bring us to the house. This was our 2nd trip to the area & both times we used Samara Info Center for our drivers & tours. Brenda is amazing to work with & a wealth of info. We would definitely rent here again & have already recommended it.

Une villa spacieuse avec piscine en bord de mer à Puerto Carrillo avec ses vues exceptionnelles…. sans oublier la beauté de la nature tropicale et ses animaux exotiques qui l'entoure… voila qui résume bien de notre dernier séjour d’une semaine passé au Costa Rica…. Pura Vida! L’emplacement nous permettait à la fois de profiter des plages magnifiques de Carrillo et de Samara ou celles moins connues comme celles de Barrigona ou Camaronal ou de se déplacer vers la coop de production café Daria de Hojoncho ou prendre un très bon lunch au CanelAzul de Nicoya…. La villa offrait aussi une très grande tranquillité d’esprit et flexibilité que nous avons fort appréciée en voyageant avec deux très jeunes enfants et l'excellente disponibilité de Dimas, point de contact au Costa Rica, en tout temps pour répondre à nos questions. Nous n’avons que de beaux souvenirs de ce séjour à cette villa magnifique et n’hésiterions pas à y retourner et d’en faire une excellente recommandation…

Patrick is a responsive host and his Property Manager Dimas was very helpful in many ways and communication from both in most cases within a few minutes. The house itself was extremely clean and quiet neighborhood, private gated property and very lovely! We felt very much at home and the view of the ocean was breathtaking! We have been to the area 3 times in the last couple years and likely would stay there again on our next trip!
