An infinity saltwater pool overlooks the ocean at Villa Mapache, a 2-bedroom villa for 4 in Nicoya. Enjoy ensuite king bedrooms, open-air living, fiber internet, and La Lora beach nearby.
The Space
Villa Mapache is situated on a hill between the jungle and the ocean, offering stunning views just half a mile from the well-known La Lora beach break. This open-concept villa includes:
- 2 bedrooms with king-sized beds, each featuring an ensuite bathroom
- Infinity saltwater pool overlooking the ocean
- Semi-open kitchen and dining area
- Semi-open living room with a large sofa and smart TV
- Desk space
- Kitchen equipped with an oven, stove, Italian espresso machine, regular coffee maker, and a large refrigerator and freezer
- Up to 95 Mbps fiber optic internet
The bedrooms are accessible from the terrace, and to move between the living room and bedrooms, you must go outside, as shown in the photos. Both bathrooms are ensuite. The villa embraces tropical living with sliding glass doors (which do not lock) within a gated community that has 24-hour security.
On the same property, behind this house, there is a smaller separate house. Both homes are private but share parking space.
Location
Villa Mapache is located in a residential neighborhood within the Paradise Hills gated community, approximately half a mile from Eat Street and Selina North.
Santa Teresa is a beautiful tropical destination known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and breathtaking sunsets. It offers some of the best surfing breaks on the Pacific coast. Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve and the abundance of local wildlife.
Amenities and Activities
Nearby, guests can enjoy a variety of activities including:
- Surfing
- Zip lining
- Horseback riding
- Paddleboarding
- Fishing
- Yoga studios
- Eco tours
The area also boasts excellent restaurants serving fresh fish and other local cuisine. There is a grocery store within walking distance and an organic market a short drive away.
Guest Access and Transportation
Due to the steepness of the road leading to the property, renting a 4WD vehicle or ATV is highly recommended, especially between May and November. The property offers sheltered parking shared with the neighboring house.
Additional Information
- The house is constructed primarily from wood and natural materials, which may show minor stains from construction that cannot be removed.
- The villa does not have air conditioning but is equipped with ceiling fans for comfort.
- Being in a beach town surrounded by jungle, occasional power, internet, and water outages may occur, though they are infrequent.
- Wildlife such as monkeys and birds are commonly seen and are part of the natural experience.
- This home is best suited for experienced travelers who appreciate a tropical, nature-focused environment rather than a city-style apartment.

Uky helped us in a very good and prompt way. We arrived at the house. It has a very nice open-plan layout. The fans are great and even make you feel cold. The pool is incredible. The sunset looks beautiful. A place I would recommend. Pura Vida, Uky. Very grateful to you.

It was incredible for us!! But I should warn you that this is not a place for everyone. At night, with the lights on, the bugs take over the villa, and not just the bugs, but the raccoons too!! It wasn't a problem for us. The place is incredible. It's very important to have a 4x4 to get to the property. The service from the guy is unbeatable. Uky, the caretaker, is very attentive and responsible!!

This was by far the best stay I’ve ever had! House is beautiful, clean, and exactly if not even better than described. The view is breathtaking, you’ll see beautiful sunset from there! Location is perfect really not far from the main street of santa teresa and easily accessible. But still very safe, calm and private. The host is very nice, available, responsive and generous! I really never had to worry about anything there. Thank you again a lot for everything ! - Rose

Beautiful property. Very cool location with lots of privacy, but still close enough to town. Our host was incredibly helpful, and we would absolutely come back!
