And the Oscar Goes To... Villa Roca
A magical custom-designed home that sweeps every category.
Set Location Perched on over an acre within the coveted Puesto del Sol gated community of Ojochal, Villa Roca enjoys one of the most breathtaking ocean-to-mountain views on Costa Rica's South Pacific Coast. The 1,000-square-foot wraparound covered terrace and every room in the home frame a unique perspective of the surrounding landscape. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of jungle, protected river reserve, and green space, yet only minutes from restaurants and beaches, Villa Roca offers privacy, serenity, and an authentic Pura Vida experience.
Production Design A wall of river rock, soaring laurel wood ceilings, an 8-foot single-slab island, colorful accents, rich textiles, playful artwork, hand-painted washbasins, and custom-built furniture create a home full of warmth and character. Traditional Costa Rican design blends seamlessly with contemporary international style, creating a joyful atmosphere throughout.
Visual Effects Brilliant mountain sunrises give way to spectacular sunsets that reflect off the Pacific Ocean and surrounding foothills. Enjoy the show from the pool, outdoor shower, terrace dining area, outdoor bar, or one of several thoughtfully placed lounging spaces. Solar power helps keep everything running smoothly, while dimmer switches throughout the home allow you to set the perfect mood.
Original Score Howler monkeys, tropical birds, cooling ocean breezes, flowing rivers, and distant thunderheads provide the soundtrack to your stay.
Supporting Cast A carved toucan, stone tapir, colorful macaw, and the villa's namesake rock formation are always present. Frequent guest appearances by monkeys, anteaters, and the resident sloth make every stay memorable.
Lead Actors At Villa Roca, you create your own story. Whether your ideal vacation includes romantic dinners, private chefs, surfing, snorkeling, golf, jungle pickleball, guided birdwatching, horseback riding, in-home massages, or yoga on the terrace, your private concierge can help bring your plans to life.
Like any unforgettable film, Villa Roca leaves a lasting impression: a deep sense of well-being, a connection to nature, and the positive outlook that defines Pura Vida. It is the same feeling that brought the owners back to Costa Rica's South Pacific Coast year after year for more than 25 years before building their own piece of paradise to share with others.
We warmly invite you to experience this very special vacation home.
Villa Roca is a distinguished member of the Pura Villas Collection and includes personal, professional support from the local Pura Villas team. With decades of hospitality experience and deep local knowledge, our team is available before and during your stay to assist with everything from airport transfers and rental cars to private chefs, activities, babysitting, and concierge services.

About your hosts:
Pura Villas is a small, family-run property management company with a special collection of luxury homes along Costa Rica's Southern Pacific coast. At the heart of it is Shannon, born and raised in Costa Rica on land her Maryland-native grandfather settled in 1969.
She has spent her whole life here, and over many years of welcoming guests, she's become less of a manager than a quiet local guide — the person who knows which beach is calm this month, why you'll want the 4x4, and what the howler monkeys are up to at dawn.
What that means for you is simple: there's a real person behind this home who knows it intimately and treats your arrival as her own responsibility.
Shannon, and her equally dedicated husband Ben, take the time to get to know you and craft a stay tailored to your interests.
All Guests are looked after honestly and without fuss, and the owners who entrust their homes to Pura Villas tend to stay for years — because care, here, is personal.
Just message her…and you’ll get a glimpse of the care you’ll receive.
