Villa YOLO embraces a clean, uncluttered Pura Vida vibe, designed to meet the needs of discerning guests. The fully stocked kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, while the location offers easy access to excellent restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets, banks, and beaches—all within a 1 to 3-minute drive.
The living area showcases artwork by local artisans, blending contemporary design with subtle Costa Rican influences. Neutral, calming colors and a focus on comfort define the space. Large open doors and windows allow natural light to fill the interior.
The villa has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to six guests.

Each bedroom opens onto the stunning outdoor area, where guests can enjoy breathtaking sunsets and the soothing sounds of the ocean.
Outdoor Amenities
The outdoor space is equally impressive, boasting unforgettable views, a refreshing pool, and a spacious deck with both lounge and dining areas. Two separate lounge zones ensure there is always a comfortable spot to unwind. A dedicated area is available for yoga practice.
The sunny deck is outfitted with a new Coral deck surface, which feels great underfoot and remains cool even in direct sunlight. This outdoor area is perfect for any time of day—whether sipping morning coffee while watching surfers or relaxing in the evening with stargazing and a glass of wine.

Great stay! The pool was a must, because of the heat! The view is splendid; the accommodation is clean! Johanna and Nathan are attentive and proactive! I know it's not the host's fault, but the construction noise next door was a bit annoying. The beach is beautiful and a few minutes' walk away. We learned to live with the wildlife of Costa Rica!! Pura vida! I highly recommend this listing 🙂

Nice property, but tough location and missing amenities. The place itself is very nice, but getting around can be a challenge. Two off the bedrooms only have outside bathroom. The road up to the property is very steep, the route to the beach is impractical, and there is some nearby construction. Inside, be aware that there is no dishwasher

Our family of 5 adults had a great stay at Casa Yolo. We were provided with a very thorough welcome package at time of booking including check in and check out details, wifi info, local attractions and activities etc. The views of the ocean were amazing. The outside space has lush gardens and is very private and the pool was the perfect temperature. Lots of seating for lounging, dining and enjoying the sunsets. All 3 bedrooms had good individual air conditioning with plenty of space and comfortable beds. Kitchen has everything you need, ample pots and pans, dishes, and appliance etc. House keeping came every other day, unless you otherwise specified. Johanna was quick and thorough each time. Although you don’t have access to laundry machines, laundry service is included, turn around time is fast and the detergent they use smells soooo good!!!! We also enjoyed our daily visits from Tomi, Johanna’s very cute and well behaved pup! Thank you for a great stay!

This is a perfect spot in Santa Teresa. The beach, shopping, and restaurants are right down at the bottom of the hill. The property itself is secluded, clean, and perfect, with an incredible view of the ocean. I definitely would stay here again.

We stayed at the house for 3 nights, very nice and inside the jungle. Only problem was lots of ants every night at certain areas of the house.

The house was fantastic, close to restaurants yet still quiet and private. A 4‑wheel drive vehicle or ATV is definitely needed to get up the hill to the house, but the host made everything easy by arranging a shuttle to and from the airport and having a side‑by‑side delivered directly to the property. The main living area connects to two bedrooms, both with king‑size beds. We didn’t use the third bedroom, which has two double beds and a separate entrance, though it is still close to the main living space. We loved the easy access to beaches, tide pools, and restaurants. Our kids loved swimming in the pool, (~5ft deep) in the afternoons. The views are absolutely stunning, perfect for watching the sunset. We would happily stay here again.
