We had a wonderful time at Bahia Pez Vela. Although we had some difficulties finding it at night, the hosts provided detailed directions and were incredibly responsive. Our family enjoyed the direct beach access, especially as it allowed some freedom for the teenagers to explore and we had no concerns about the ocean currents. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything about our experience was top notch! The hosts were always super accessible via the app, both before and during our stay if we had quick questions. The villa was exactly as described - well-appointed with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The home was pristine, with comfortable beds, bedding, living area furniture, and plenty of towels and paper goods. The kitchen had everything we needed for any cooking or beverage prep. The location couldn't have been better, just (level) steps from the beach, pool, and restaurant (which was terrific by the way). It was wonderful having access to the resort concierge staff for booking excursions and transportation. We would definitely return here on any future trips to Costa Rica!

This was such a perfect place for a relaxing vacation in Costa Rica! The check-in process with Jacky and Cesar was so easy - and they are very helpful with recommendations. We did not plan much in advance and just waited to see how we felt that day and it was perfect for me. The hosts Jane and John were so kind and understanding of a last minute date shift, and were able to help me work out some details, which I was so appreciative of. The villa was amazing, clean, well-stocked with plates, linens, beach towels. The resort pool was relaxing, and you could sit on the lounge chairs and enjoy a nice breeze while looking out at the beach. The beach was fabulous with good snorkeling right off shore. We saw howler monkeys right in front of our villa one day! We enjoyed the on-site restaurant - great food and service. I did not want to come home! Would love to stay again soon.

The location was fantastic, just steps across the lawn and on to the beach. The beach was quiet and pleasant with good snorkeling available on the north end. The resort provided lounge chairs for the beach and there was nice shade to relax in while enjoying the views. The house was clean and spacious and the hosts were quick to respond to any questions. There is a restaurant a few steps away and it was an only a short drive to Coco for excursions and a variety of restaurants and shopping. The kitchen was well stocked and in good order. The only thing we were left wanting was some cooking spray or oil. Not something we thought to pick up at the grocery store. Overall a great home and location for a very relaxing vacation.
View of the resort, home is on the right.

Great views and very quiet

If you’re looking for nice accommodations, a quiet area, and great views, this is the place. The pool was rarely used by other guests, the beach was clean, and the entire neighborhood was quiet. You are going to want a car if you want to be able to run to town or eat off-site. The on-site restaurant is very nice.

About the host

Hosted by Jane & John

Host profile image

Home base for our family is Ontario, Canada. We love to travel and take the opportunity to escape the Canadian winter whenever we can. We have been coming to Costa Rica for a number of years, like many others we've fallen in love with the diverse and beautiful landscape, wonderfully warm climate and above all its genuinely friendly and welcoming people.

We would love to welcome you to our home and experience all that beautiful Costa Rica has to offer.

Jane & John

Why they chose this property

We have been staying at Bahia Pez Vela for a number of years and made the decision to purchase our villa in 2017. One prerequisite for our family was that any home we purchased had to be on the beach. Bahia Pez Vela is a secure community of only 40 homes. It offers all the amenities you need for a quiet relaxing stay but is close enough to take advantage of everything Costa Rica has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Without a doubt, our location on the beach sets us apart. Because of its strict environmental laws, there are few homes in Costa Rica that offer beachfront living. From our terrace to the sand is only 50 steps. The views over the beach and ocean are spectacular!
