About this property
Bahia Pez Vela -1 Minute Walk to Secluded Beach, Ocean View and Infinity Pools!
Villa Toucan (BPV No. 6) is a delightful Three Bedroom villa with 2.5 bathrooms nestled in a secluded cove 25 minutes from Liberia's International Airport. Ocean view, 1 min walk to beach, pool and restaurant. You can see and hear both the ocean waves and howler monkeys from this Villa!
The Villa is steps from the beach in the Bahia Pez Vela Resort next to Playa Octotal and 5 kilometers from Playa del Coco. This resort is the ONLY property on this secluded beach that has an abundance of peace and quiet. This villa is one of the beach area villas (second row from beach) so it is an easy, less than a minute, walk to the beach, main pool and restaurant. You can hear waves of the Pacific and chatter of the howler monkeys in the nearby trees from this fully equipped two level home and see Hummingbirds check out the flowers we've planted just for them. You'll also have unlimited access to our small gated community's two pools, restaurant (Soluna Beach Bistro) and sea kayaks. The resort has wireless internet, accessible from the villa.
At low tide, you can walk to Playa Ocotal which is a bigger beach and has a few restaurants and hotels. It's otherwise a quick (5 km) drive to Playa Coco which is a bustling town with tons of water sports, restaurants and shops. There are plentiful activities near the villa including scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, whale watching, bird watching, and canopy tours. You can even get a massage on the beach.
The Villa has a living room, full kitchen and dining area, outdoor patio with seating area and bbq and three bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The Master BR has a king bed, private bathroom and outdoor balcony. The second bedroom is perfect for a family with kids or a couple having one queen and 2 twin beds . The third BR has a queen bed and fold out couch (folds into a large twin/small double). The living room couch also folds into a full bed.
Villa also has high speed fiberoptic wireless internet to keep up with work (if you want), ceiling fans and air conditioning so you can tailor your comfort level, washing machine - dryer, a washer-dryer so you can pack light and stay fresh, fresh linens and beach towels, TV with Amazon Firestick to access your Amazon, Hulu, Netflix accounts, microwave, dvd player, dishwasher. and many kitchen accoutrements (blender, toaster, coffee maker).
Within a short drive there are ample opportunities for all the activities Costa Rica is known for: hiking, birdwatching, canoeing, white water rafting, canopy tours, turtle watching, hot spring hopping, monkeying around with monkeys, wildlife watching, coffee plantation tours, mountain biking, horseback riding and more.
Villa Toucan is within 1.5 hour drive of three volcanoes
(Tenorio, Miravalles and Ricon de la Vieja), several national
parks (Palo Verde, Ricon de la Vieja, Tenorio, Santa Rosa,
Playa Grande) and dozens of day trip activities including
bird watching, canopy tours, fishing, horseback riding, rafting, hiking, scuba diving, and turtle watching. The two Costa Rica most famous tourist destinations: Arenal Volcano and Monteverde Cloud Forest are a 2-3 hour drive away. The concierge at Bahia Pez Vela can arrange all of these excursions and activities. Or just sit at the beach, enjoy the peace and quiet, get a massage and do nothing. Whatever suits you!
For detailed info and more photos see web address below or email us. Special discounts for last minute booking available! If you've read this far and book at least a 3 night stay we'll throw in a $50 gift certificate to the onsite restaurant, Soluna. Just remind us by email.

About the host
Hosted by elizabeth loeb or henry docter
We live in Washington, D.C. where Liz works for the Justice Department as an environmental prosecutor and Henry brings beauty and joy to the world through his art and occasionally practices law from the house, and took care of our two child who are not adults, Hannah (25) and Jonah (23) as of early 2025.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a place that was secluded and relaxing but also had outdoor and cultural attractions nearby. The fact it's only 25 minutes from an international airport was also a big draw.
What makes this property unique
The resort is quiet, secluded and very relaxing. If you're looking for a party scene then this is not for you. But for families with kids and couples it's a wonderful place to just kick back. You can even get a massage on the beach while listening to breaking waves and howler monkeys. Walks around the area yield beautiful views and birdwatching. Then again, if you get tired of all that peace and quiet and want to see and do stuff all the activities Costa Rica offers are very nearby: horseback riding, hiking, zip lining, scuba-diving, rafting, volcanoeing, hot springs, etc.
