Ocean and jungle views frame this 3-bedroom villa in Playa Santa Teresa, with a chef-designed kitchen, pool, fiber Wi-Fi, and a flexible office-bedroom for remote work. Sleeps 6.
Welcome to Casa Calyx
Casa Calyx is a garden retreat with ocean views, within walking distance of a café and the beach.
The property offers sweeping surf-to-horizon views over Playa Santa Teresa on one side and a lush nature reserve on the other. Although the ocean is just a 12-minute walk away, the home provides a peaceful escape from the lively town below. Cleaning service is included.
The Space
Santa Teresa is known for excellent surfing and a wide range of international dining options. For guests who prefer to cook at home, the chef-designed kitchen features ocean views.
The home is best suited to couples and families.
The third bedroom can also serve as an office and includes:
- One single bed
- An extra-wide desk with room for two people to work
- Extra-large windows
- A walk-out balcony
- Air conditioning for warmer days
The house was designed to capture a soothing cross-breeze flowing from the ocean toward the jungle. On the main floor, open the sliding doors to enjoy the sound of crashing surf and howler monkeys in the jungle below.
Remote Work Features
Casa Calyx was designed with remote workers in mind and includes:
- Fiber-optic Wi-Fi
- A backup generator to help maintain Wi-Fi stability during power outages
Security and Access
- 24-hour security
- App-enabled keyless entry
Guest Access
A four-wheel-drive vehicle or all-terrain vehicle is recommended for reaching the property, and we are happy to suggest transportation options.
A vehicle is not essential for guests who are comfortable walking up the mountain road. We do it regularly.
Important Information
The plumbing and toilets are sensitive, as is common in jungle environments. Please do not put anything in the toilet. Used toilet paper should be placed in the garbage can beside the toilet, which is standard practice in Santa Teresa.
In Costa Rica, occasional interruptions to water and electricity may occur. These are generally brief and are a normal part of island and coastal living. Although we do our best to minimize inconvenience, some interruptions may be outside our control.
The property may not be suitable for children under 10 because of a steep drop-off at the edge of the backyard. Some families with younger children have stayed comfortably, but we want to provide this information so you can determine whether the property is a suitable fit for your family.

I’d buy this home and live in it forever if I could! A massive tree fell the night before we checked in and caused a major power outage, but Mariel was the absolute most helpful the entire time! I definitely left a piece of my heart there in Santa Teresa and I will absolutely come back!

We had an amazing time. The location was so perfect. I would jog down to the beach every day. The house was gorgeous. We loved cooking in the kitchen and playing in the pool. The BBQ was great too! The bedrooms were so nice and cool with the excellent A/C and ocean views. The animals around the house were very cool! We loved seeing the iguana’s & butterflies around the pool. We also appreciated the house cleaner and the house maintenance man, they were great! We would love to stay here again!

As frequent Santa Teresa visitors with remote work needs, we asked the host about privacy and sunset views before booking a two-week+ stay. The featured sunset photo proved misleading with overgrown vegetation fully blocking the view, unaddressed by the host. She also claimed neighbors weren't visible, but a walkway neighbor looks directly into the home and backyard. We lost water a full day, had multiple power outages, construction noise, and parking interruptions from neighbors, disrupting our work and stay. The host declined our request for early cancellation, cited the policy, then stopped communicating within two days of check-in. Jairo, the caretaker, was the exception, professional and helpful. We worked with Airbnb who approved a partial refund and are they are assuring the host complies with their policies so future guests are not impacted. We encourage future guests to vet this host carefully.

The only thing I would recommend, which affected us, was the lack of blackout curtains in the rooms. When it gets light, it is very difficult to continue sleeping. The curtains they have don't block out the light.

Had a great stay here. The location is ideal, just up the street from the center of town. You can walk in about 10 minutes, but the climb is steep. If you do not walk, you will need a quad or a 4 x 4 SUV. The backyard views and sunsets are incredible. The beds are on the firm side if that matters to you. Overall, a great experience. I would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful week at Casa Calyx. From the ocean views below to the howler monkeys up above we truly had the best time relaxing and enjoying the sun. We had one small hiccup with an electricity outage, but Mariel and the house caretaker Jiro were very helpful in getting the issue resolved. Highly recommend this stay!

Great location! Just up the hill from the man drag of the city. Beautiful view and house over all. Mariel and Jairo were great with response times and any questions we had along with helping us book a driver.

Great location in the heart of Santa Teresa but off the beaten path so very private. Watch the surfers below from the plunge pool while the howler monkeys watch you from the trees! Wonderful stay. Will book again.
