Tambor Villa | Amazing Beach House on Bahía Bellena

3 Bedroom Villa in Tambor, Paquera

This beautiful Bayside Beach Villa is right on Tambor Beach in Bahía Ballena (Whale Bay, located within the gated community of Los Delfines in Tambor, Costa Rica. The home is one of a kind in this gated community as it sits at the edge of a park, thus having more privacy than the rest of the development. (I especially like to hear and watch the howler monkeys in the trees in the park 25 ft from the front door. The other morning, I saw over 20 in those trees, some with babies hanging on to moms.)
When I first walked into the house I was blown away by the view through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the whole front of the house with an incredible view of a beach paradise. (I swear, it looks like a picture postcard, complete with palm trees, broad sandy beach, and beautiful blue ocean. I'm pretty sure the gods photoshopped that view!)
The downstairs has an open floor plan with a large dining/living area and a custom kitchen with teak wood cabinets and new appliances. The extended living room has a semi-private queen size day bed with its own full bathroom. The two sliding doors open to a patio with a sectional couch, a small raised table and stools, and a large live-wood table that seats up to 10 people covered by new porch roof which, along with the surrounding palm trees, creates a perfect covered outdoor space. There's also a gas grill for cooking outside and a large hammock waiting for you to lay down and read a book or take a nap.
Up the staircase are the three bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom and again with the floor to ceiling windows! The master suite has a king-sized bed, a large bathroom with ocean views from the shower, and a large balcony along two sides of the bedroom overlooking that fantastic view with many fans. (I love to sit on the balcony in the early mornings in the cool breeze, watch the scarlet macaws swoop by in pairs and just marvel at the view. I also love sleeping at night with the doors open listening to the ocean waves.) The other two en suite bedrooms also have a wall of floor to ceiling glass.
This villa sits on an expansive, 4-mile beach with nice soft black sand...easy to walk/run on, and a very gradual slope to the beach. (I counted them today...it's 75 steps to the water at high tide; 240 steps at low tide, depending on the phase of the tide). It's not a great surfing beach since it's in a bay, but it's a fantastic swimming beach. However, the previous owner says she could surf here sometimes. For your enjoyment, there’s surfboard, boogie-boards, and lots of floaties. I also have 2 pickle ball sets and a bocci ball set. Oh yes, and there's a nice pool just about 25 steps from the patio that we share with only eight other houses. (My new early morning routine is to run on the beach, cool off in the ocean, have a dunk in the pool, and then eat breakfast on the balcony. Did I mention the incredible view?)
There are lots of places to go and things to do in the area. Within Los Delfines, there is a beautiful 9 hole golf course, a larger pool at the clubhouse, tennis courts for tennis and pickleball, and horseshoes on the beach. Or how about a boat tour to Tortuga Island to see the turtles, a visit to the Curú Wildlife Refuge, horseback riding on the beach from Montezuma to El Chorro, hiking to local waterfalls and swimming in their pools, fishing with local fishermen, take an ATV tour in the area jungles, snorkeling or scuba diving, experiencing a Montezuma zipline canopy tour and jumping off the cliff over a waterfall, going on a night kayak tour to see the bioluminescence, or exploring the well-known surf towns of Montezuma and Santa Teresa for some great restaurants, shopping, surfing, and fun nightlife? And when you're done with the adventures and hustle and bustle, come home to the relaxing peace and quiet of your Tambor beach getaway. (I'm sure it can get busier, especially during Easter Week, but I've never seen more than 10 people on the whole 4-mile long beach at one time. More often than not, I'm the only one on the beach. It's like I have my own personal beach and bay!)
There’s a small, but well-stocked, convenience store at the clubhouse, a (slightly) bigger store in the town of Tambor just down the road, or a couple of bigger grocery store about 20 minutes to the east in Paquera and 25 minutes west in Cóbano. If you don't want to cook you can stroll over to the beachfront restaurant just down the beach a little from our house, with good food and very friendly owners and karaoke and dancing Thursdays and Saturdays. There are many incredible restaurants in the area as well.
Only about 3 hrs from San José, depending on traffic, across a ferry, or a 30-minute ride in a small prop plane to the local Cóbano airport only 25 minutes away. Come make yourself at home at a true tropical paradise! (Can you tell I'm in love with this house?...and the views!! I must be dreaming.)

Summary: We are a family of 5 ages 6 to 81 and absolutely loved the house and the beach. We were there late November and had great weather as well. The house was well maintained and clean. The ocean is perfect for swimming, boogie boarding and surfing. It was safe for our 6 year old to swim. Access was just a small stroll down from the house. The beach is long and great for walks. The only downside was the amount of plastic garbage on the beach. We were told that this comes from the local rivers and is cleaned up by the locals and we happened to be there before the cleanup. Despite this we would go back and stay again.

Summary: I can't say enough amazing things about this house and the surrounding area. From the owner to the manager to the restaurant and beach only steps away.... This place is more than we could've ever asked for. The people were great and I relaxed from my super busy lifestyle. The food, the comfort of the home, and the helpfulness of the owner and the property manager, all made this just what we needed. We will be here as frequently as we can. We hated to leave!!! You will not regret coming here. Jeannette's home is beautifully decorated and so comfy. I loved every single bit of it. The sounds of the ocean and the different types of wildlife made this a tropical retreat I'll visit time and time again. Thank you Jeannette and Sebastian for making this trip everything my family desired and more. Pura Vida!!

Summary: This place was all we were hoping for and more! We were looking for a relaxing respite where we could just exist with no plans and no cares in the world and that's exactly what we got. My fiancee is still talking about how sad she is we aren't still on the beach in Playa Tambor. I sadly didn't see any monkeys here but you know the howler monkeys are out there as they were very talkative. Lots of iguanas about on the property of all sizes, even saw one as big as a skateboard! We will definitely be back. As soon as possible according to my fiancee.

Summary: We loved this house and would definitely stay here again. Sadly, we could only stay 2 nights. Sebastian the property manager was so helpful with checking in and assisting with other questions we had. Our highlight was seeing the Macaws in the back yard. The house and the view is beautiful!
