Esterillos Oeste is the ideal vacation destination community of choice in Costa Rica. Starting out as a small fishing village on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, Esterillos Oeste is rapidly becoming the most desirable beach in Costa offering dark sand beaches, small fishing boats on the beach, green palm trees overhanging the beach, a sea turtle preserve and a consistently good surf break with many other world class breaks within a few minutes drive. This is truly a paradise!
This Villa is located about 75 feet from the ocean, 20 minutes south of Jaco on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It is a 1 1/2 hour drive from the International Airport in San Jose and it is in a very small development named Rocamar Villas. There are four buildings and a guard's quarters along with a beautiful pool. All owners are absentee owners and there is a good chance that you will have it all to yourself. A full time security guard is present and we are fenced and gated. A large statue of the mermaid 'Serena' stands in the ocean to look over the fisherman and yes... you can buy fish right off the boats and grill them on your roof top observation deck. Our two favorite places for food and drinks are the Almendros and El Vagos...both are great.
Our Villa has 1 large bedroom (queen size bed) and two baths with showers. We also have large custom futon. Marble floors, granite counter tops, fully equipped kitchen and a laundry room in our villa makes for a comfortable, easy vacation. For your use we have air Conditioning, cable TV, high speed computer service, wifi, and fishing equipment.
The property is maintained 24 hrs a day by our security/ pool guy/ grounds keeper. Your comfort and safety are never compromised at Rocamar Villas.

About rick shiver
Rick lives in Daytona Beach, Fl, A retired firefighter that loves to surf and fish has found costa rica to be a perfect fit.
rick shiver purchased this villa in 2005
Why rick shiver chose Puntarenas
In 2002 I visited Costa Rica and fell in love with the people and culture. I found myself returning again and again. Tiring of hotels and restaurant food, I decided to buy. My first visit here, a scarlet Macaw landed beside me and began eating almond off of the picnic table. I knew that this would be my second home.
What makes this villa unique
Sunrises at around 5AM. Grab a cup of coffee and sit on our rooftop deck to watch the beach come to life. We have THE BEST view of the beach and beautiful, birds, iguanas and surrounding area. The surf out front is great. A 1 hour walk to Punta Mala (bad point) is an experience you will treasure forever.
Guestbook comments from the owner
"Amy and I can't say enough good things about the villa and Esterillos Oeste. The villa was clean and bright and the grounds where phenomenal. You were right, Tracy didn't speak a lick of english, but was super friendly and we managed to get exactly what we needed from her. I guarantee, no matter where you travel in the world, there is no place that will have the array of characters found in Esterillos Oeste, both tico and gringo! We had an absolute ball...everyone was friendly and helpful. Brett gave me my first surf lesson, which makes me a proud member of the Soda Mary Surf Team! Amy's highlight was the Chicle Canopy Tour and her Mahi Mahi at Los Almendros (probably the best meal we have had in months)! We took your advise and got in the rental car and explored. We drove as far south as Playa Ventanas, where we saw what I would consider the most beautiful beach I have ever been on. Thanks so much for allowing us to take part of your "piece of paradise", we had the time of our life!"

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(15 traveler reviews)
Great view, pool & just steps to the beach!
great price, great condition, great views!
Not what we expected
The location is excellent, but the unit is a bit run down (Hot water comes and goes, making showering or even washing dishes difficult.) and the beach is almost inaccessible because of erosion. The property manager does an excellent job of maintaining the grounds and pool, but cannot help with directions, dining recommendations, etc. because she speaks virtually no English. This will not be on my recommended list.
Beautiful get away
Wonderful experience if you like an away from it all vacation. Condo complex small and well maintaibed with beautiful pool and landscape. Top of two level condo buildings are wonderful shaded patios for relaxing and view of the ocean. Serene!
Paradise
This was our first visit to Costa Rica. The weather was incredible everyday! The people were very friendly and we were surprised how many expats lived in the area. The beaches are endless,you can walk for hours, the sunrises and sunsets are amazing everyday. We enjoyed the villa,in our opinion we had the best one in Roca Mar Villas. The ranchero was really the best feature and we spent so much of our time there just watching the wild life and the endless waves. The surfers were very entertaining. We used the pool three or four times a day. The only down side for us was the bed wasn't comfortable. We would like to come back one day.
Truly Paradise
We spent several weeks at Rocamar Villa in November/December. The villa was comfortable & had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the the rooftop deck, the beautiful pool, the proximity to the beach, and Tracy - always there and very helpful. We spent most of our time in Esterillos, eating at local restaurants, exploring the area, and enjoying the beautiful and fascinating wildlife - from Scarlet Macaws to giant iguanas and monkeys. We did explore up and down the coast as well - many beautiful beaches, cool towns and national parks a short drive away. It was an unforgettable experience and we hope to return soon. Pura vida.
Very nice and great location
We were very happy with the place. Such great access to the beach since it was directly on the beach. We loved the little community it was in. Everyone was so nice. Tracey was great. She works so hard and it shows. The pool was great but HOT. Which isn't a problem for me. Great hot weather. My only issue was that none of the outdoor lights worked. Which wasn't a huge deal since we were so tired at night we went to bed quite early. But it would have been helpful for the stairs and shining on the lock so we could see where to put the key. Something very minor but thought owner should know about it so it can be taken care of. All in all we would definitely rent again and Richard the owner is so helpful in making everything happen. Thank you for a great vacation.
