Location: Ojochal, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, Central America (Playa Ventanas, Cinco Ventanas (between Dominical & Palmar))

Accommodations:  Luxury Air Conditioned House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)

Modern romantic house for rent on a mountainside in the Southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Terraba River delta. Here you can delight in the daily presence of toucans, scarlet macaws and families of howler monkeys. The two- story, private, gated estate is located across the road and up the mountain from Playa Ventanas, a virgin black sand beach surrounded by rocky cliffs and natural caverns that have formed tunnels through the mountains to the sea.

The enchanting home is nestled in ten acres of natural rainforest with an array of exotic flora and fauna, including tropical fruit trees, spectacular jungle wildlife, incredible butterflies, and a rolling river.

The newly built house is 3000 square feet with air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. The house has three large bedrooms. The upstairs master suite has wood vaulted ceilings and a fabulous outdoor covered deck overlooking the Pacific, complete with a hammock and a outdoor teak wet bar. Relax in the king-size bed while viewing a breathtaking sunset or lightning storm over the Pacific. Master bathroom has two large showers and a sunken tub and double vanity.

Downstairs guest bedrooms each have full-size beds and spacious bathrooms with double vanity, large sunken tub/shower and walk-in closets. All rooms have spectacular views of the jungle and the ocean. The house has hardwood ceilings and hand-made wood doors and cabinets. Large modern kitchen opens up to the spacious dining and living area.

Kitchen also has a pass-through window bar for eating by the large tiled swimming pool. Arrangements can be made for a driver to get you to our house in your vehicle. It is recommended that you have a four-wheel drive vehicle; it gives you the most options and you will appreciate it if you plan to do any exploring.

Maid service and pool cleaning provided once a week. If you would like more frequent service it can be arranged prior to your stay for a nominal fee. Grocery shopping and personal laundry services are available upon request. Costa Rican caretaker lives on property and a English speaking property manager lives on the mountain to assist with any of your needs.

The house can be divided and we can rent the downstairs only for a lesser price than the entire house. The downstairs consists of the 2 large bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room and swimming pool. If interested, please email me, and I can quote you a price.

We also have accomodations available in the surrounding Playa Ventanas area and in San Jose. The San Jose condo is a new fully furnished 3 bedroom/3bath, complete with swimming pool, playground, covered parking and it is a gated community. The condo also has a driver available who, for a fee, can pick you up at the airport.

Monthly rentals for house and condominium are available upon request.

  • I am a very seasoned traveler and would rate this villa in my top three! The accommodations were superb and did not lack for any creature comforts!! The early morning and evening sights and sounds around the property were more than I ever anticipated. The black sand beach was private and one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on. There were plenty of local restaurants (two of them with five-star chefs) and any tourist attractions safely within driving distance. For the more adventurous types you can drive to San Isidro where the views were spectacular or take a trip to Panama and visit local beaches along the way. I would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to see Costa Rica and will definately be back again myself! One of the most affordable vacations I have taken to date.

  • This is one of the great places to stay anywhere: gorgeous surroundings where you can wake up to see howler monkeys, toucans and stunningly beautiful blue morpheous butterflies literally at your doorstep; privacy that lets you - and I confess - enjoy a risque skinny dip in the pool; incredible ocean views; and proximity to excellent restaurants and leisure activities. Frank and Sherry's house is a paradise for both couch potatoes like me, and those active naturalists or adventure seekers who can't sit still. I make it a point to stay there whenever I'm in the area, and can count on the house being immaculately kept and inviting. Thanks, guys!

  • Dear Sheri, Your gorgeous villa is away from high tourist areas and set in an unspoiled part of Costa Rica. It is spacious, well appointed and has everything we could have needed for our stay. In fact, the photos do not render justice to your property. For us, it outshined by far the other Costa Rican villas we have rented before. We want to thank you for sharing such a great place. We were impressed by many other things. The ocean, jungle and mountain views from the pool deck or from the master bedroom deck are unbelievable. We kept our wildlife guide and binoculars out constantly and enjoyed bird watching, as well as viewing howler monkeys play nearby. We were amazed how much wildlife there is around the villa. The early morning walks for watching birds and the jungle coming alive followed by a dip in your very private and topnotch pool were one other big part of it. Overall, your property makes a great spot just for swimming, sunbathing and gazing. It's simply Pura Vida. The local French bakery in Ojochal made the best bread we ever had in Costa Rica. The local wine and cheese shop has unexpected gourmet food items and very good wine choices. It did contribute pretty well - along with the firefly shows - to our magnificent evenings. The mangrove boat tour on Terraba River delta with Jorge was undoubtedly worth seeing. Add to these beauties the kindness of everyone we met. Ann and Ted thoughtfulness and friendliness (and the useful information and knowledge of the area) help create one of our most memorable vacations in Costa Rica. Please thank Ann, Johan and Kumari for all they did. Let it suffice to say that we would definitively stay at your villa again and strongly advise anyone that is thinking of coming to this beautiful part of Costa Rica to seriously consider your villa as their base. Thank you again, Yves, Canada P.S. We have traveled all over the word and we have been to Costa Rica several times.
