3 Bedroom Villa in El Ocotal, Playa Ocotal

THE LOCATION
Set between the resort’s two infinity pools and just a few minutes walk to our stunning, tranquil beach, we love our location, as it offers privacy that can be hard to find in a resort AND views that are second to none!
THE VILLA
The Villa is a 2,200 sq ft split level, with kitchen, living room, dining room, and full laundry on the main floor, a powder room half-way up the stairs, and 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and large balcony upstairs. After an extensive renovation, during which we focused on local materials and preserving the Costa Rican vibe, the Villa features natural stone flooring, solid wood cabinetry and furniture, upscale large and small appliances, and in the dining room, a bamboo ceiling. The front of the Villa opens up via two sets of French doors to let the outside in. Views from every room on both levels are second to none.
Upstairs, the master bedroom and ensuite are furnished with gorgeous pochote wood. Both the master and second bedrooms walk out to a large balcony where you can savor your morning coffee as you watch the howler monkeys swinging in the trees, or whales, dolphins, and manta rays swimming by in the bay. The third bedroom looks out the other direction over the islands of the Gulf of Papagayo.
Local artwork and prints of scenery from around the area decorate the walls.
The villa is equipped with a high quality water filtration system to ensure your drinking water and ice are absolutely pure. High speed Internet is also provided.
THE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
In Costa Rica, your outdoor space is just as important as what’s indoor. At our Villa, the expansive outdoor living area is furnished with vibrant and cozy furniture that you can curl up in to read a book, enjoy your breakfast, or watch the local wildlife such as monkeys, iguanas, and coatimundi which are all frequent visitors. The panoramic beach and ocean views make hanging out in the outdoor living space special, as whales, dolphins, schools of tuna, and manta rays can often be seen cruising by or frolicking out in front of the resort.
RELAXING AND DINING
If you are looking for complete relaxation, why leave the property? With a spacious outdoor living area complete with comfortable furniture perfect for snoozing, and room service or a private chef a phone call away, you need never lift a finger. For a change of scenery, chill beside the upper infinity pool or lunch and nap at the beachfront pool and restaurant before your afternoon massage on the beach. If you prefer cooking, you will LOVE the gorgeous new solid wood and quartz kitchen, and dining under the stars on the expansive patio, listening to the waves washing up on the shore below.
The on-site restaurant, Maracuya Beach Club, is set on the beach beside one of the resort’s two infinity pools. Offering local and North American cuisine, along with a full bar service, Maracuya has been the recipient of many awards for culinary and mixology excellence. As well as poolside dining, they offer meal delivery to your villa, weekly live music, mixology classes, and even cooking classes in right in your kitchen.
VENTURING OUT
On the days you want adventure, the area offers all the eco-tourism options Costa Rica is famous for. Experience endless fun and adrenalin — from sport fishing to ziplining, from wildlife tours to scuba diving, river cruises, coffee plantation tours, and visits to local artisan communities. Local operators offer pickup from the villa, or from the beach if you are heading out on the water. Activities and tours can be booked through the on-site concierge.
The lively village of Playas del Coco is 3 miles from the resort, offering plenty of options for groceries and local crafts, along with many wonderful restaurants and bars. Out favorites are listed in the information binder you’ll find in the villa.

Summary: Fabulous vacation home! Chef’s kitchen overlooking the Pacific to cook your fresh seafood. Wonderful beds/ linens. Huge patio overlooking the bay. Gorgeous gardens and monkeys visited our patio in the trees just outside. Lots of delicious restaurants nearby and the resort restaurant was great as well. Resort was very private and staff were so friendly. Communication with Roxi was easy and helpful. Sad to be leaving this special spot! Thank you, Roxi!!!

Summary: We are a family of 6 adults who have been planning a trip to Costa Rica for years. This home in Bahia Pez Vela was the perfect location for our stay. There are so many places to explore within a 2 hour radius. Roxi is a very responsive host. I highly recommend!

Summary: Our family of four had the most wonderful stay in this villa. It was impeccably clean and well-appointed. The resort was absolutely wonderful. The beach was private and the views were incredible. We have already recommended Bahia Pez Vela to several friends who want to visit CR and have more space than a hotel room but with the resort amenities.

Summary: Such an amazing property! We have used VRBO rentals for years and this villa is over the top! My husband and myself with our son and his wife stayed and were so impressed with the decorating and touches from local artisans. We chose to stay up the hill instead of by the beach so it is a trek to make it to the beach and back in the heat. The onsite restaurant was amazing as was Farmer Rooster's restaurant. The road to the property is quite hilly and unpaved at times but if you take is slow you will be fine. I would suggest a first aid kit for the villa but other than that, we loved the sound of the howler monkeys in the morning and the continued variety of birds making calls. We even had a crab walk across the patio!

Summary: Villa was very clean and well appointed. Recently upgraded. Roomy and tropical. Beach restaurant on site was better than any in Playas del Coco. Restaurant staff very friendly, professional. Costa Rican people are beautiful and friendly and were the highlight of my trip.

Summary: The Villa and property are very well maintained, clean, and the staff on site were very helpful. We like the feeling of having all of our normal amenities (TV, Internet, AC) but also being close to nature. Just stepping out on the back patio provided a good dose of the natural surroundings. Various Birds, racoons, geckos, Leaf-cutter ants, praying mantis all made an appearance for the 5 days we stayed. At night we heard the howler monkey's in the distance as well. Very cool! The property manager was on the spot with helping and suggestions. The property itself was a little off the beaten path and took awhile to find at night, but the view once we found it was amazing. Well worth a little hunt. Super quiet and private. The VRBO map pin makes the unit look like it's down closer to the water, but you wouldn't have the awesome ocean view this unit has tucked up a little higher on the mountain. We ate at the clubhouse only once and it was very good. Awesome beach setting. I wish we had more time to explore the beach down in the cove, but we had other plans. Hopefully next time!

Summary: Great property for a family vacation. Beautiful location close to the beach with an outstanding view. Howler monkeys, iguanas, and numerous birds all from the back patio. Costa Rica is an incredible destination and should be on everyone’s vacation bucket list.

Summary: Communications with Roxi the owner were excellent, and the villa was everything described and more. Very peaceful and relaxing. Jacky and Cesar at the resort were great. They booked all our transportation. Van to and from the airport, rental car delivered to the villa, multiple massages for our group and multiple excursions. We loved them all and they were all reasonably priced. Resort restaurant was amazing and we ate there at least once a day. We ate a meal in Cocoa beach every day and they were always very good to amazing. Service was always good but remember you're on Costa Rican time. You wont be pushed out of the restaurant and you will want to let them know right away if you're in a hurry. Pool and beach area we as described and we were at the pool/ beach everyday. Howler monkeys were at the beach for a couple days and we saw/ heard them around the resort every day. We booked the Trimaran excursion with the waterslide. Had a great time. Swimming, snorkeling, drinks and snacks were great. I would especially recommend booking with Kuna Vela sailing tours. The crew picked up our group of 6 on the beach and took us to the boat for a private snorkel and sailing trip. We had the boat to ourselves and Captain Israel and first mate Andres took such good care of us with amazing heavy snacks and whatever we could think of for drinks. Thanks again to Roxi for sharing their amazing villa and our group would definitely book again.
