This villa has a salt water infinity pool and boasts one of the best views in Santa Teresa. From every room in the house, you will be mesmerized by the sight of the crashing waves below, as well as the more expansive coastal view of the Mal Pais reef. Elevated on the hillside, most living areas of the villa are perched in the jungle canopy where you will frequently see monkeys, toucans, and other wildlife passing by the house on the surround branches or in flight. The space To more fully experience this connection with nature and the surroundings, we created an custom hammock made from high strength Dyneema webbing that extends high above the jungle floor. While laying on the hammock, you can sun bath, nature watch, star gaze or even take a nap while suspended in space above the tree tops. There are no other properties in town that offer such a special atmosphere. Pata Salada has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, each with a brand new king mattress, hot water shower, closet, and a white water ocean view. Additionally, each room has air conditioning and ceiling fans so you can adjust your sleeping temperature to perfection. We find that sleeping with the door open allows the sound of the waves and the ocean breeze to enter the room at night, a perfect recipe for deep relaxation. The villa has a fully equipped kitchen and fiber optic wifi; however, there is no television. The sunset, clouds, surfers, and wildlife are the entertainment here.

ocean view villa prime location - Houses for Rent in Playa Santa Teresa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Our stay at Worthy’s house was the highlight of our trip to Santa Teresa. The house itself is magic. It perfectly captures indoor-outdoor Costa Rican living while being unique enough that you don’t feel like you’re in every other rental. Our family loved hanging out together in the common areas and the bedrooms were comfortable with great AC. The location is ideal; it felt private and tucked away from the main road but easily accessible (up a very bumpy hill). Worthy was a fantastic host, super responsive and kind! If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable home base in Santa Teresa, this is it. We didn’t want to leave!

What an incredible place! The rooms, the pool, the kitchen- all were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the cast iron pans! The cleaner was very friendly and supportive. The only challenges to be aware of are that this place is up a steep hill! Can be tricky with ATVs if you have less ATV experience. But you can walk down for tasty restaurants at the bottom.

We enjoyed staying at Worthy's place despite it being our hardest BNB experience. It was a great location despite the roads being difficult to drive on. The power went out once due to their own issue, the other being the whole penisula. The water also went out for awhile because it ran out the tank. During all of this, they communicated with us very well. We however, did not like how the cleaning ladies where there every morning and just walked in with no notice. It did not give our family the privacy we are accustomed too. So if you don't mind the cleaners just walking in, and most likely the power going out a lot, not due to their own doing, I would say the place is great.

Arriving at Worthy's house was a wonderful experience.  We were delighted with the view, the pool and the bedrooms. An excellent option for a large group. We were six adults and it was very comfortable. Even the poolside grill detail was more than useful. The house was also provided with the necessary kitchen items to make the stay complete and there was even a daily cleaning service. 100% recommended. Judit was very kind and helpful throughout the stay.

Llegar a la casa de Worthy fue una experiencia maravillosa.  Quedamos encantados con el la vista, la piscina y los dormitorios. Una excelente opción para un grupo numeroso. Nosotros éramos seis adultos y resultó muy cómoda. Incluso el detalle de la parrilla junto a la piscina resultó más que útil. La casa además fue entregada con elementos de cocina necesarios para que la estadía fuese completa e incluso había servicio diario de limpieza. 100% recomendable.Judit fue muy amable y atenta durante toda la estadía.

Walking in to the house the first time was like something out of a movie. The landscaping leading up to the door was beautiful and consistent with the natural state of Costa Rica. The view when you open the door is hard to put into words. The day we arrived there were even monkeys playing in the trees above the pool. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. Note: A four wheel drive vehicle is recommended especially if you come during the rainy season as the road to the house can get washed out. Or you can rent an ATV in town like many people do.

We had a lovely two-week stay at the house. Compared to other stays in Santa Teresa, the house is updated and well-maintained. Despite its jungle location, we did not experience problems with bugs or other wildlife. The view is outstanding, as advertised. We did have to contend with construction work from the house above most days. The pool is lovely, but it is mostly shady, so worth knowing it doesn’t warm as much as a pool that receives sunlight. The home could use more seating options; there is no sofa. On the other hand, it has a very cool net which serves as a hammock of sorts. While our needs were met, the communication from the host and staff was more distanced than what we’ve experienced with other Santa Teresa stays. (We stayed for 2 weeks and never actually met the host/ concierge.) Overall, we’d recommend the house, especially for families with older kids, and especially once nearby construction ends.

Beautiful architectural house. A few small details to improve to give a perfect rating.

Belle maison d'architecte. Quelques petits détails à améliorer pour donner une note parfaite.

Fantastic spot, and excellent views . A little tropical paradise. The host was always responsive and super helpful!

Honestly, one of the most amazing places I’ve stayed. Host was so communicative and beyond helpful. Would most definitely stay again.

Thank You Daisy for your time and nice words! We would love to host you again! Judit

Amazing house, modern and well decorated, fully equiped. Perfect to disconnect and relax with a great view and the sound of birds and waves. A cleaning lady and a maintenance man for the pool came everyday. Few points worth mentioning: Although the location is close to the Main Street, we need a 4x4 or ATV to get to the house as the hill is steep and the road is bumpy. There is a construction site nearby that starts pretty early, and there are no blinders in the room, so be ready to wake up early - which is fine as it is Santa Teresa vibe anyway. Last, a mosquito repellent is an absolute must to enjoy the outdoor space that is gorgeous. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

Beautiful house that matches the pictures. The house is beautiful, clean and spacious. The rooms do not have blackout curtains thus you will be waking up at sunrise if light bothers you. Sunrise happens as early as 5:00AM. There is construction next door that also starts very early and ends late, everyday! We went with two women that did not feel comfortable enjoying the pool because of this, the men were even looking at me while I was in the pool (I did not mind) the host can plant some plants to block their view, easy to do. We ran out of electricity one day for a few hours, another day the internet went down and lastly the water ran out, which took hours to fix. They can provide bathroom toiletries or event salt in the kitchen. We loved the house since it’s modern, the most amazing ocean views with great proximity to ocean. The town is magnificent and great restaurants. They include a daily cleaning service which is great, the house is always clean. Pricy for what one gets.

Thank you Luis for your evaluation and taking the time to evaluate us, we appreciate it. 1- We are very sorry for the works being carried out next to our property, it is something that is out of our hands. We will try put more plants around it to see if we can block more of the views. 2- About electricity, internet and water: in the rainy season it is very common for these things to happen. Electricity and internet were out of reach, as was the public water supply (we order truck water immediately and it only lasted a few hours). 3- You always find bathroom items in the bathrooms (shampoo, gel and shower, hands and face towels) and also basic elements for cooking such as salt, sugar, pepper and oil, so we do not understand this point well. Thank you again for your time, had been a pleasure to host you!

This house is absolutely stunning and the views are even better! Judit made our stay amazing and her communication from start to finish was great. She coordinated a private chef and masseuse for us and I highly recommend both! We can’t wait until our next visit to Santa Teresa and would love to stay here again. Pura Vida!

Thank You Cassey for your nice words! :) You bad been amazing! Judit xx

The pictures don’t do it justice. Insane views amazing spot! We loved it.

This home on the hills was an absolute dream come true! Waking up to the beautiful view of the sea was everything I needed and more. The house fit our group of six very well. Every room was very clean and the concept of the house was beautifully designed. We loved hanging out on the deck and laying out on the net. The pool was very lovely too. We had the best time. Thank you to your team for creating such a beautiful space and welcoming us into your home. We appreciate all of your guidance and support throughout our trip.

Beautiful place with great service and atmosphere. Staff where great and the views are unmatched. I hope to be back

The house has amazing views and with the kitchen in the middle of the open space, it made things super easy for us with the kids. would love to stay here again!

The place was beautiful 😍 super clear instructions on how to find and get inside! Very private and great views! Close to beach and many restaurants. Judit was very responsive and friendly! Would definitely stay again!!

Thank you Abby for your words! has been a pleasure! Judit xx

Great house in an excellent location. Very private with incredible views. The whole team was great and responsive between our arrival, arranging activities, cleaning, and our departure. Highly recommend this place to stay, though you will want a vehicle (ATV is the way to go) as the hill is steep. It is walkable if you are in shape but gets slippery after rain. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc. Truly a great stay that we would look to stay at again if in the area.

The pictures do not do this house justice. It was BEAUTIFUL. The views alone make this house amazing but all the details inside and outside made it even better. We were able to have our coffee on the patio and see monkeys and birds, it was very serene. Judit was very quick to respond  and always willing to answer any questions we had. There are two bedrooms inside and one bedroom (with own bathroom) where you have to go outside and down the stairs but we had no issues with that. There were 3 couples visiting and it was more than enough room. Would recommend having a car or rent a side by side/atv due to the house being up a steep hill. I would love to stay there again and would recommend this house to anyone!

The experience was definitely 5 stars An incredible view, the sound of the sea at all times unparalleled and the pool with an ocean view. Both the host and the very attentive and special cleaning staff. Recommended 100%, I will definitely be back.

La experiencia fue definitivamente 5 estrellas. Una vista increíble, el sonido del mar en todo momento inigualable y la piscina con una vista al océano 10/10. Tanto el anfitrión como el personal de limpieza muy atentos y especiales. Recomendado al 100%, definitivamente volveré.

Gracias Daniel por tus palabras! Ha sido increíble hospedarles! Judit xx

Wonderful view and lovely home! We most definitely will be back! Thank you

The home is absolutely beautiful. Everything was very clean and well cared for and matched the description. We would absolutely love to stay here again.

This is a spectacular 5 star villa!! The views are amazing! The furnishings & finishes are very high quality, the beds were the most comfortable! We loved everything about this villa!! However, the 3 adjacent lots are currently under heavy construction which detracted from what would be  peaceful surroundings and cut our stay short.  Otherwise, I would recommend this vacation home without hesitation!

Hello Melissa thank you for your review. Santa Teresa is with constructions all around. We understand the inconvenience that there was with the construction, which is around 200m away, they were just those days making a lot of noise. We gave you a full refund for that issue and hopefully you can come back soon.

This house is amazing. It shows the beautiful view of Santa Theresa surf every morning. The trampoline is a wonderful addition so unique. Beautiful sliders.   The host Judit was amazingly kind and helpful. But remember this is the jungle there’s animals and natural organisms that we’re here before we were.

PURA vida family! Thank you for your nice words!

Everything about my stay was exceptional! The space was comfortable, clean, accessible to local hot spots and beaches while also being tucked away, making it feel like your own piece of paradise. The ocean views were unbeatable, and can be seen from every room but my favorite was seeing the jungle and ocean from the shower! The sound system is also a nice touch, creating just the right vibe while relaxing on the hammock under the stars, or cooling off in the pool with a cold drink. Can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at this Santa Teresa Airbnb was an absolute paradise. Perched on a hilltop with awe-inspiring ocean views, we were instantly captivated by its beauty. The host's exceptional hospitality made us feel like cherished guests, ensuring our every need was met with warmth and care. The house itself was a serene oasis, blending modern design with cozy comfort. Every detail was meticulously curated, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces allowed us to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings. With convenient access to surf spots, restaurants, and shops, our days were filled with adventure and delicious cuisine. The memories we created in this breathtaking hilltop retreat will stay with us forever. We wholeheartedly recommend this Santa Teresa Airbnb to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. Prepare to be swept away by its beauty and embraced by the heartfelt hospitality.

The view is the most incredibly seductive for this place. The pool is magical. To swim at night with the sun going down was heavenly. Coffee on the open deck and a soothing sunbath on the trapeze just completed everything. We will be back.

Beautiful, well thought out space with incredible jungle and ocean views. My stay was wonderful. Would highly suggest this house for your future vacation in Santa Teresa. A short walk to some amazing restaurants as well as playa Carmen!
