Prívate Villa - Ocean Views- Walk to beach - Houses for Rent in Ocotal Beach, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Absolutely wonderful two week family holiday! As others have commented, the villa and views are even more beautiful than the photos. And Alina is the most helpful, charming, responsive host ever. My advice: go for as long as you can spare! We’ll be back.

The place has an amazing view from all areas of the house.  Outdoor area is great. There are beach chairs, umbrellas snd more for a day at the beach.  We loved it.

It was a pleasure hosting you. Glad you enjoyed your stay . Pura Vida!

Stunning!  Only wished we had booked it for longer.  What a beautiful getaway with the perfect view of the water and hillside from a perfect slice of paradise.  Few AirBnBs ever make us say, we have to come to this one again.

It was a pleasure hosting your group! Pura Vida

We had an incredible stay at Vista Royal Villa. The home is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views that truly surpass what the photos show. Alina was a fantastic host and provided detailed instructions & thoughtful recommendations, which made our trip seamless. We followed her recommendation to use Luis for both our airport transfer and an excursion, and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend him—he was amazing! He is incredibly knowledgeable and took us to a waterfall, mud baths, hot springs, a volcano, & a rainforest. It was the highlight of our trip and allowed us to experience so much of Costa Rica in a single day. We also used Vamos Car Rental, which was very convenient. They delivered the car directly to the villa and picked it up afterward for a minimal fee. Having a car made it easy to explore Playa Coco, and we even took a day trip to Tamarindo. We all agreed this was the best vacation we’ve ever had. Thank you, Alina, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Your trip sounded amazing! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Pura Vida!!

We were a party of 6 friends and we had a wonderful time. Beautiful house, beautiful views, lovely flora and fauna and friendly people! We had the best 3 days at Alina’s place. Pura Vida!

So glad to hear you had a great time!! Pura Vida!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb near Ocotal Beach! The property is located behind a secure gate, which made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout our visit. The house is modern with a beautiful Zen-like feel, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and we loved being able to use the grill while enjoying the beautiful view—it made for perfect, relaxing evenings. Everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. Alina was an excellent host—very responsive, friendly, and helpful with local recommendations. The location was ideal for both relaxing and exploring the area. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Ocotal Beach area!

We loved our stay! Beautiful views and the house was modern, clean, and comfortable. We had 6 adults and 5 kids and it was plenty of space for all of us. The kids enjoyed the pool and the house was well stocked with amenities in the kitchen, beach chairs, and towels. The walk to the beach was easy and the kids enjoyed digging in the sand and exploring the tide pool. We also enjoyed the beaches at Playa del Coco and Playa Hermosa. We loved eating at Father Rooster.

Beautiful views and a short walk to the beach.

Loved this home. We had family in for our 30th wedding anniversary and room enough for 10. Woke up every day to beautiful views and friendly birds. The beaches were easy to get to and the pool and big windows allowed for enjoy time in the house. Alina was extra helpful and accommodating.

Home was beautiful, there was 9 in my party, plenty of room, view was amazing, we saw iguanas, racoons and monkeys from the deck and was visited by beautiful birds daily that would eat from our hands. The recommended chef was pricey but so good we did two nights. The recommended excursion contacts were friendly and easy to deal with, we had amazing experiences. Everything we needed was present in the home, we cooked and grilled daily, kitchen had all the conveniences of home. plenty of beach towels and the restrooms were fully stocked with everything from bathing towels, hair dryers and soaps and shampoos. You will hear a lot of exotic sounds from outside throughout the night if you're a light sleeper, which added to our Costa Rican experience! Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends. Tina

Really spectacular view and plenty of space both indoor and out for our entire family. We had two toddlers with us and they had the time of their lives in the pool.

The place is truly beautiful and luxurious. I would stay there again.

We loved our stay at Alina’s house. The house and property are so much more amazing than pictures are able to capture! We had everything we needed for cooking in the kitchen, but there are so many great restaurants nearby also. My kids loved the pool and they are already asking when we can come back!

So glad you guys had such a great time. Pura Vida!

We absolutely loved our stay at Alina's amazing property. We felt right at home!! The whole property is even better than the pictures.  It had everything we needed and beyond. We took full advantage of the lovely deck, pool and spa. Relaxing, playing games and soaking up the Costa Rican sunshine. Even lovely in the  little rain we got. So much lovely nature around. The birding from the deck was awesome. We took advantage of her suggestions as to tours, shopping, adventures and great restaurants. We really hope to return someday. Do not hesitate to secure this Airbnb!!  It's sooo worth it!!

I am so happy to hear you guys had such a great time. Pura Vida!

Spectacular house with fabulous views. All bedrooms were roomy and well appointed. Our family cooked most meals and the kitchen was well equipped. We all enjoyed the outdoor space and the pool was perfection.

Good location and plenty of space.  enjoyed the pool and outdoor area

Thank you for your feedback  I will address with our handyman.

Wow!!!! Great stay at AirBnb in Octocal Beach. We visited Costa Rica for our daughter’s nuptials and indeed our stay at this AirBnb was an unforgettable experience. It was an upscale home away from home. The service was excellent! The atmosphere soothing yet vibrant, calm, and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious with stunning views. The amenities were top notch and every needed for a home away from home was readily available in the home. I highly recommend this AirBnb and my family I, look forward to the next opportunity to visit. Many thanks to our amazing host Alina.

Alina was a great host and her home is absolutely breath taking. A perfect place with an outstanding ocean view, amazing pool, and surrounded by nature. Thank you for sharing your place with us. Pura Vida!!

Thank you, I am so glad you guys had such a great time.

One of the best Airbnbs we've ever stayed. A spectacular house, full of space with all the comforts to enjoy with the family. Alina is an excellent person, with excellent communication A place that I recommend and I'm sure you'll have a great vacation. The people who work for Alina are honest, highly responsible, and provide quality and customer service. Diego provided us with cooking service at home and everything came out spectacular, the food and the service were first class, he also gave us super nice tour services. Cristina is impeccable in cleanliness. I would give everyone 6 stars. Excellent service, beautiful place. I can't wait to come back. Alina is the best host and all the service provided by Diego and Cristina was amazing

Uno de los mejores Airbnb que nos hemos hospedado. Una casa espectacular , llena de espacio con todas las comodidadadea para disfrutar con la familia. Alina una persona excelente, con una excelente comunicación Un lugar que recomiendo y estoy segura que pasaran unas excelentes vacaciones. Las personas que trabajan para Alina gente honesta y con una alta responsabildad y calidad y servicio al cliente. Diego nos brindo servicio de cocinar en casa y todo salio espectacular , la comida y el servicio de primera , tambien nos dio servicios de tour super lindo . Cristina impecable en la limpieza. Les daria a todos 6 Estrella. Excellent service, beautiful place. I can't wait to come back. Alina the best host and all the service of Diego and Cristina were amazing

Thank you for the kind words. We would love to host you again

Beautiful, interesting custom home with lots of space both inside and out. We mainly stayed at the house, relaxed and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Father Roster’s was fun, I recommend the mango daiquiri and the fish ceviche. We would love to come back.

Beautiful area, Alina was very responsive even at the beginning.  Beautiful home. Some minor issues came up which were resolved immediately. Had a wonderful stay.

Villa Royal was even more stunning than the pictures. We couldn't get enough of sitting on the deck enjoying the view. The home is located in a neighborhood, but the position of the house makes it feel more remote. The house had plenty of space for a large group so that everyone had their own retreat. Walking every morning provides quite a workout in any direction-we loved starting our day with a workout of a walk. A 4WD vehicle is a must. We loved the location that provided a magnificent view, but was close enough to walk to the beach. Playa del Coco was a short drive and had everything we needed. Every single person we met was kind and welcoming! We loved our trip to Costa Rica!

the view from the house was absolutely stunning! the house was clean, and private, with electronic lock on the front door, and a gated driveway the pool was wonderful, and beds were comfy! we hope to come back some day!

Great stay, beautiful views. Clear instructions.

Alina’s place was everything we could have hoped for during our family vacation. The home is located in a beautiful location with amazing views of the lush nature and beautiful views of the bay from your hilltop retreat. The home is on a steep hill. If you are driving a manual transmission large vehicle for your group, make sure you get a good start to get up the hill ! 😅 The rooms were all well decorated and had comfortable beds. Amenities were very nice and bathrooms were plentiful for our large group. There were places to eat within walking distance. Father Rooster was amazing. Catch of the day was a hit with our group. I definitely recommend this if you are coming to this area!

Beautiful place! Already want to come back!

Absolutely beautiful! The house is incredible, loved the pool and the view, and enjoyed how close to the beach it was.

We LOVED Vista Royal Villa! We didn’t want to leave! The pool was amazing, the view was spectacular, and Alina was a wonderful host. It made our vacation to Costa Rica incredible.

Alina’s place in Costa Rica was absolutely breathtaking! We were drawn to it for the sleek modern design, the inviting pool, and, of course, the promise of a hot tub to unwind in after long days of adventure. Now, we did have a bit of a hiccup with the hot tub—it was out of commission for six of the seven nights we were there, much to the disappointment of our sore muscles! To her credit, Alina had people working on it daily, but it turned out she needed to order a special part (which seemed to be as elusive as a howler monkey). But honestly, that small inconvenience didn’t dampen our spirits. The rest of the stay was absolutely top-notch, with the property exceeding our expectations. Alina went above and beyond to give us all the local tips we needed to explore the area like pros. It was truly an unforgettable trip, with one minor lesson learned: always double-check the status of the hot tub… just in case!

The pictures don't do this gorgeous rental justice. It is a truly special place with beautiful views of the ocean from most of the bedrooms and the kitchen and living area and from the beautiful pool and deck  . The house itself is very modern with a well equipped kitchen for our family of eight . There are lots of stairs which weren't great for a two year old toddler but he and his parents managed just fine ! Staying here with our family was the highlight of our short trip to Costa Rica .We  spent a lot of time just enjoying the pool and the views . We walked to the beach daily . It was a lovely family friendly black sand beach, quiet but with a delicious restaurant . Our host provided lots of valuable information and directions to help us enjoy our stay .

The first time in my life when the vacation accommodation was the actual destination. I could not believe it until I checked in that somebody would share such an architectural gem with travelers. The product of a renowned architect has endless details to discover and admire. This is the end of the road for me, it cannot get better than this for my means.

It was a pleasure hosting you. So glad you enjoyed your stay!

The pictures do not do it justice.  It was gorgeous.  All of the bedrooms were perfect with fantastic views.  Comfy beds!  The kitchen was great and fun to cook in. Cristina and Memo were so responsive and friendly.  Everyone with us was awed and we did not want to leave.  Until next time….. thank you Alina!

So glad you had a great time. Sorry about Diego I gave you the wrong number.

It was very nice . And her guy Diego is top notch. Whatever you need he will help you. We wanted to bring him and his wife back with us. They were amazing. I wish I could give it 10 stars.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes we love Diego and his wife. There were beach chairs and an umbrella in the garage for guests to use, sorry you did not see them.

Alina was so helpful from booking, to our stay, and even after we checked out. The house was amazing and almost felt like an art exhibit when we first walked in! All of Alina’s helpful instructions were spot-on and she provided countless recommendations that we took her up on. If we ever make it back to the area we will definitely look to stay here again!

It was a pleasure having you guys, so glad you had a great time!!

Beautiful home and the pictures don’t do the view justice! Our family had a great time and the home was well equipped. Truly an architectural home made beautifully. We used chef Isabel for a dinner one night and it was a lovely sunset meal. Things to note if you’re traveling with young ones - there are some steep stairs and areas where you may need to keep a closer eye on a toddler. Ours learned fast after the first day, but worth knowing. We didn’t love Ocotal Beach, but spent more time at Hermosa beach which was beautiful. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful time at Alina’s beautiful home. It was exactly as we expected and perfect for our stay. We loved that she sent instructions and recommendations days before our stay which gave us time to prepare and discuss with the others in our group. The home was clean, not too warm in the hot Costa Rican heat, and had everything we needed.

Gorgeous does not even begin to describe this home.  Don't look any further if you want to stay at the best place in Costa Rica.  The house is incredible for many reasons: the pool and jacuzzi, the views, and the location were all outstanding, not to mention it is huge! Alina will get back to you immediately and she also made several suggestions of what to do and where to eat, which greatly enhanced our vacation. 1 week was not enough.

The house was amazing. The pictures do give the house it’s justice. All the necessary amenities were provided. everything was clean. 10/10 experience. we wish we could’ve stayed longer

We had a great time! The house was absolutely beautiful with a  spectacular view and very spacious. Looking forward to going again soon.

We would love to have you again. Very glad you had a great time!

Vista Royal was everything we imagined and more.  We were a group of 8 (4 married couples) everyone was amazed and very sad to checkout.  The home is beautiful and offers exceptional stunning views.  Alina was a wonderful host.  You can coordinate everything including housekeeping upon arrival via the host. We hired a private chef Sophia who was amazing.  Diego (Sophia's husband) coordinated all of our excursions effortlessly.  We will definitely return.

I am so glad you guys such a great time. It was a pleasure having you guys!!

This house is absolutely beautiful!! Great for couples and families. The bedrooms are all spacious and private - nice comfortable beds. The pool and hot tub are awesome. There is a barbecue on the deck by the pool. The pool is visible from the kitchen and living room which is so amazing when you have kids swimming. Great view of the ocean too. Overall this place is a 10 in my opinion! Would definitely recommend to friends and family. We would love to stay again in the future!!

It was a pleasure having you! The extractor is brand new, there is a light switch by microwave to turn the power on. I will do a label , thank you for pointing it out.

Alina's home is amazing. The architecture, decor, design details, cleanliness, comfort was an easy 10. It was comfortable, safe, and exactly what the listing said it was. You can tell Alina has a great deal of pride in her home and has a vision for details. Everything about our stay at the villa was great and we will certainly reach out again. Thank you so much for a great week ! David & Dot

It was a pleasure having you both.  Being in the tropics we always have problems with the ants but will make sure they fumigate more often. We will love to have you at Vista Royal again.

Amazing house! Every room has an awesome view. The infinity pool overlooked the ocean, Alina responded to all of my questions, Luis got us connected with a couple that came in and cooked for us, the pool was nice and cool, Bluetooth speakers inside and out, beach chairs and towels provided, just all around a fantastic place and host.

Fantastic home with incredible views and amenities. Wonderful place to unwind!

Villa Royal is an incredible place to be with family and friends. The house is beautiful, spacious, with details in each space. When you wake up you have a panoramic ocean view, the pool available a few steps from the kitchen and living room. The kitchen is super equipped, there are board games, spaces ideal for reading or taking a nap. Our experience at the house was excellent, we hope to return soon.

Villa Royal es un lugar increíble para estar con familia y amigos. La casa es hermosa, amplia, con detalles en cada espacio.
