Puerto Carrillo Villa | Amazing Ocean & Mountain views! Pool! Private cook/cleaning included!

4 Bedroom Villa in Puerto Carrillo

La Paila is unique among most of the villas you’ll find!
It's broad panoramic views of the Pacific are due to its siting at one of the highest elevations looking into Samara bay and valley. The sky and light change throughout the day often finishing in spectacular sunsets!
-- staff will prepare meals (if desired, up to 2 per day, your choice), clean house daily and do laundry! The pool and grounds are professionally maintained. Relax and enjoy yourself! Staff live in a separate house on the property providing security and availability but also as much privacy as you want.
-- free delivery of pre-stocked food waiting for you (just reimburse for the groceries you order)
-- La Paila has a huge open air room containing dining, sitting, entertainment and game areas. It has no walls so that you’re directly connected to the views, breeze and nature! (All four bedrooms can be closed-up completely and are air-conditioned).
-- La Paila is very private, tranquil and quiet with only a few neighbors and little passing traffic
-- designed in the colonial Costa Rican style of architecture, the house is appointed with art and artifacts celebrating local Tico and Guanacaste culture. Much of the house is made from tropical hardwoods and the furniture crafted locally. Immerse yourselves a bit in Costa Rica!
Free hi-speed WiFi, TV (Roku streaming) with a VCR/DVD machine A bluetooth JBL Extreme speaker powers music through the big room and to the pool so bring your playlist. Laze in the hammock or lounge in the pool! We have ping pong and backgammon tables, board games, a volleyball/badminton court and darts! Take the boogie boards with you to the beach or use in the pool!
Nature is all around: flocks of parrots fly by each morning and evening, howler and capuchin monkeys will visit the backyard trees occasionally and maybe you'll see a coatimundi or anteater! Mangos fall off the trees from May to June.
The sunsets can be stunning but also look for rainbows, sundogs and green flashes. At night, the Milky Way stretches across the sky if clear. Look for planets, fireballs, moon rings and meteorites!
Use La Paila as a secluded retreat for pure R & R or as a home base for day trips. The daily destination for most?: just five minutes away by car is the iconic, palm lined, two mile-long Playa Carrillo (Carrillo beach), a certified 'blue flag' beach of Costa Rica (means it is safe and clean)! It offers beach strolls, jogging, swimming and picnics and so much more. Horseback riding is available on several beaches. Go deep sea fishing for marlin, tuna, swordfish and mahi-mahi. Turtle watching is best at nearby Playa Camaronal, Playa Grande and Playa Langosta. Snorkel to an off-shore island. Zip line through local jungle canopies. Surf lessons on the bucket list? Dine out in nearby Samara and Carrillo at numerous outstanding but casual restaurants. Explore the surrounding teak plantation. To the south, enjoy lunch at Punta Islita and at the same time schedule a tour of the macaw (parrot) reservation at Macaw Recovery Network. You will not run out of things to do!

Summary: It was a great place and a great trip. Beautiful view, excellent location and accommodations. Grace was fantastic and we would be happy to go back again. The owners were very easy to communicate with and timely in their reaponse. The house staff was very helpful and kept the location clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time at the onsite pool enjoying the beautiful views.

Summary: Everything was simply amazing. Rugged beauty everywhere and an abundance of flowers to gaze at on the property. Views are truly special as we could see all of Samara bay from our hilltop. Housekeeper was so nice and helpful, cooking and cleaning for us. We love the proximity to everything in town and got so much packed into our trip because of the convenience with this location. Clean, safe, spectacular.

Summary: This house has a beautiful view, great location, and the staff is great. The house needs some updating and minor repairs. The bedrooms were a bit dusty. The fridge was consistently leaking water inside and not very cool. The staff cleaned every day and helped with whatever we needed. We had a large group of 11 people. It was unclear for the guests to know where to put the laundry that needed to be washed. However, the staff were willing to do the laundry. The initial portion of the road to the house is paved but then turns into a dusty, rocked road that is pretty rough and steep. 4 wheel drive is not necessary, but it is important to note to the roughness and steep incline. The views from the house are breathtaking. We asked for local dishes for meals and were not disappointed. Grace and Maria kept up with food allergies and made separate meals for the kiddos who were picky eaters. They were very kind and helpful. They cooked meals on our schedule so that we had food early enough for scheduled activities and ready for us when we got home. Brisa was fun to have around and never bothered us once. We loved watching Brisa come around and love on all of us. Grace and Maria helped us learn some spanish which we loved. We would recommend this place again, but would like to see the house have a bit more TLC.

Summary: La Paila is paradise. We so enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were just as advertised and Grace was wonderful in accommodating us and for the wonderful meals that she made for us. We loved the pool, watching the pretty birds, monkeys and THAT VIEW! We never tired of waking up to that view. At night time, you do have to adjust to the living room being open to all sorts of creatures, but by the end of the week, we were used to them and it wasn't a problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and would rent this home again.

Summary: Upon arriving at this well-appointed traditional style home we were all mesmerized by the initial impression and the spectacular view overlooking Playa Carrillo. The house had lots of room for 6 adults; one child. There are inside and outside games galore when not just simply relaxing or at the beach. The pool was a hit for the family and was the first place people would go after breakfast. We heard that this beach was the nicest in the area so we were happy to know that. We found several good restaurants in Samara. The food in Samara is very expensive- and even farther towns like Nicoya still had high food prices. At the end of our stay we did find a little butcher shop in Samara just on the left before the main road dead ends into the town. The bakery (where the road actually dead ends ) was very good. 2 Gringos and the El Calibri (steak restaurant) were our favorite. Our trip was enhanced by an engagement proposal under water scuba diving and our turtle excursion through Samara Infocenter! What a wonderful place to experience all from a breathtaking view each morning, a gorgeous sunset each evening, and the brightest stars at night you’ll ever see!
