Magical 3 bedroom villa with private pool and beach access

Let us welcome you to the tranquil Caribbean; idyllic beaches, tropical jungle, great food and lovely people. Our beautiful home is set up to allow our guests to relax and enjoy their beautiful surroundings with a private saline pool and a private walkway to the beach.

Casa Pilon was lovingly built in 2011 from a single native Pilon tree from the mountains of Costa Rica. This Balinesian inspired villa, has been constructed with a meticulous attention to detail. Nestled in the surrounding jungle, Casa Pilon offers a beautiful private saline pool inspired by the dark sands of Playa Negra, luxuriant landscaping, and an open-air design. The center of the house is a massive open-air dining and entertaining area, including a comfortable lounge, full-size billiards table, and dining for 8. Grill dinner on the gas grill, play a game of pool, or relax on the built-in daybeds. The lounge is surrounded by lush grass, perfect for lawn games or soaking up some sun. There are 3 separate bedroom suites, each with an outdoor porch or deck. A massage/hammock platform adjacent to the pool offers an alternative to sunbathing by the pool. 2 minutes from the house there is a private walkway to the magical Playa Negra beaches.

The lounge and dining room flow into a fully equipped gourmet kitchen offering a four-burner commercial grade gas range oven, dishwasher, mixer, refrigerator and freezer, blender, toaster, coffee pot and icemaker. On the other side of the kitchen is a comfortable sofa to relax and stream movies (Netflix, Prime Video etc) with a half bath right next to it.

Two bedrooms privately located in separate wings of the main house offer en-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and king-sized beds. The master bathroom has a large double vanity, dressing area, separate shower, and an in-ground outdoor jacuzzi for unwinding in style or relaxing to the jungle sounds by candlelight. For guests wanting a bit more privacy, the third en-suite king-sized bedroom is located in a poolside bungalow.

We offer many added amenities to ensure a stress free experience.
For an additional cost, we can arrange;
A private shuttle from San Jose airport to our house.
A professional chef to cook and/or shop for you.
A prepared meal to reheat upon a late arrival
A professional massage at home
Private tours and trips to local attractions
Daily housekeeping
Let us know if there is anything you need, our experienced on-site caretaker, Juan, is knowledgeable about the area and available to assist our guests in enhancing their experience at Casa Pilon.

Other amenities include: Hi speed Wi-Fi Internet, Smart TV, BBQ grill, Outdoor shower. 4 beach bikes ($8 per bike per day and deposit required).

The beach is a 5 minute walk, easily accessed through a private walkway 1 minute from Casa Pilon. 5 minutes away is a wonderful well-stocked gourmet grocery store opposite Hotel Banana Azul which has a great restaurant for eat-in or take out and serves fantastic cocktails on the beach. You can also go to their tour desk and book a tour (white water rafting on the Pacuare river, Jaguar Rescue Center, horseback riding at Cahuita National Park, the chocolate tour or go fishing. The vibrant town of Puerto Viejo is a short car ride/ 15-20 minute bike ride and has an amazing selection of great restaurants.
A full perimeter enclosure ensures privacy camouflaged by lush landscaping. Private parking is accessed by a remote-controlled electric gate.

Casa Pilon was built to embrace the climate of the Caribbean coast in Puerto Viejo, this home is open to the tropical breezes and sounds of the jungle; designed for style, comfort, convenience, and privacy. The temperature inside stays comfortable day and night as it was specially designed to stay cool using concrete construction and an open-air design to catch the Caribbean breezes. You have to see the house to appreciate the quality textiles, artistic design, and elegant simplicity incorporated throughout the property.

If you have a larger group, you could rent our adjacent property, Casa Pilon Villa, at the same time. This would give you 5 king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and 2 saline pools.

Stunning open air stay

The property was fantastic for our group of friends to enjoy the Caribbean coast. We loved how we could enjoy the common areas as a group and then have our separate spaces. A short walk to the black sand beach and short drive to the more populated white sand beaches with restaurants and drinks worked out very well for us.

This house is magical, from the moment we stepped in, we knew it was going to be a beautiful memory for the books. With two teens completely content and not wanting for things to do, with the pool table, games, ping pong table, etc., it was a family paradise! The pool was amazing, beautiful space and a welcome retreat from the amazing Caribbean sunshine! The seating area around the pool is great and the covered seating area above the pool was so cool! The rooms are comfortable and a great size, the bathrooms very nice. The kitchen has everything you need. It was really hard to leave, this home is a gem!

Beautiful property

Wow, this property is amazing. The caretaker, Juan, was super friendly and helpful. The pool was nice and the rooms were great and spacious. The outdoor area had a grill, seating area and pool table. Plus, the bikes and green house are a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again!

We are very pleased to know you enjoyed the house and the "eco friendly" concept we offer. The green house is in a process for improvement, but we will push it until it provides us with everyday fresh legumes just across the door. Thank you for coming and would love to have you back.

Wonderful stay in a paradise

Everything about this property was absolutely amazing. Easy to navigate to , excellent distance from town & shops. Would definitely stay again. I felt like a true king of the jungle in a luxury jungle home during my stay here. Sarah was an absolutely amazing host and did an excellent job to make us feel right at home. It was a hard place to leave that is for sure. Highly recommend this amazing home.

Casa Pilon is truly a magical place. My husband and I, two sons and their partners stayed in April. It was just perfect. Rooms were just right with private decks which we loved. The family enjoyed the pool table and games in the huge family room just about every evening. The path to the beach was always interesting with all the different birds and butterflies. We saw monkeys and sloths right outside the casa.The hostess put us in touch with Chef David who came and prepared and served dinner on our first full day there. It was fantastic and I highly recommend calling him. He also did a breakfast for us. We had all local dishes including red snapper which was fabulous and a special brownie made without flour that I had to save for the next day because I ate so much at dinner.Everything you might need is there including bikes which the kids loved, beach chairs etc. Juan the property manager was always there if we had questions or needed help with anything. We also took advantage of the laundry service and housekeeping.I really cannot say enough good things about Casa Pilon - it made me sad to leave, but I suspect the family will lobby hard for another visit as soon as possible.

Phenomenal home and awesome hosts!

This home was beautiful beyond words and we truly enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect size for our group and being on the property felt like we were in our own little jungle oasis! Sarah and James were wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable. In addition to all that the home itself offered, Puerto Veijo was a truly charming beach town with a wonderful vibe. We would not hesitate to stay here again! We are grateful for everything.

The most perfect home in Puerto Viejo

This home is more stunning than the pictures can show. A true paradise that you don’t actually have to leave during your stay! The home is equipped with lounge spaces, games and amenities to make you feel like the most pampered guest. Chef David’s food was the best we had in PV. Short walks to the quiet black sand beach and excursions nearby made this trip quite memorable. Thank you Sarah and Juan!

Excellent Stay

Three couples enjoyed our stay this February. Each room was private and unique. Beds were comfortable. We loved the outside space including the pool table and comfy outside furniture. The owner Kenyi was easy to work with and very responsive. The caretaker Juan was great and we were even provided breakfast the first day! Juan even updated the bicycles for us during our stay. Great restaurants within walking distance. Beautiful beaches and bike trail on the beach. Close to Puerta Viejo but not too close. The pool was refreshing. We enjoyed everything about our stay. Love the Caribbean side of Costa Rica!

AMAZING house, like being in paradise. Perfect vacation. Never wanted to leave.

The house, grounds and pool are even better than the pictures! Everything about this property is simply stunning. From the moment we arrived, we were in paradise. Juan and Evelyn were great. They made sure we had everything we needed and helped in any way they could. The welcome breakfast was delicious. The kitchen had everything needed for us to cook many of our meals. The house was so beautiful, it made us not want to leave. But when we did, the towns we explored, Puerto Viejo, Cocles and Manzanilla were so amazing. Beautiful beaches, good food and gracious people. We had the most wonderful vacation and could not have been happier with our choice to stay here. We hope to come back. Pure paradise. Pura vida.

Slip back into Eden…

We have stayed in many beautiful places, but this home is the first time we felt we had snuck into the Garden of Eden and had it all to ourselves. The home is well appointed; we wanted for nothing. The beds are comfy and king sized, the fans are plentiful, and everything is just as you would have done it yourself. The jetted tub in the “secret garden” off the primary suite is heavenly. The housekeeper is unobtrusive and thorough. Our linens were regularly refreshed, and everything was neat as a pin. You can also choose to you have your laundry done. Juan, the grounds keeper, made us feel safe and was available to answer any questions. The hosts were wildly helpful – restaurant recommendations on point! They know an army of folks to help make your Costa Rica dreams come true. Massage on property – no problem. Pizza delivered – they know who to call. Private shuttle from the airport – they have a guy. You but need to ask, and anything you need or want, the host have a solution. Don’t skip the Banana Azul beach club which is feet away from the front door. We spent many quality hours lounging and sipping. But, for us, the true luxury was the private pool and the hours we spent watching iguanas in the trees above us, orchid swaying in the breeze, and giant butterflies drift through the backyard while floating in utter bliss.

Casa Pilon Was A Dreamy Island In The Jungle

We had an incredible 29-night stay at Casa Pilon in February of 2024. This would be our second time spending a month in Costa Rica with two other couples, friends from Minneapolis. The previous year we stayed on the Pacific side in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area. Although it was rainier on this side, we enjoyed Puerto Viejo more. Fewer people and tourists offered a more authentic Costa Rican experience. We found Casa Pilon allowed us to relish our stay regardless of the weather. The house has a plethora of activities, always something to keep us busy and plenty of cozy areas to sit, As most of us were “working nomads”.The kitchen was stocked too.We also appreciated the refrigerators working ice machine. We found the homeowners, Sarah and James, were great hosts and responded quickly to our needs. The home is equiped with safes for our electronics too. The caretaker, Juan and the housekeeper Rosa did a great job. The nearby beach Playa Negra is beautiful and when the tide allows, you can walk to Puerto Viejo in about 25-30 minutes, avoiding the busy street. We highly recommend using Chef Davd. We had two great meals, A full Red Snapper and Ahi grade Tuna. Restaurants we recomended, Banana Azul,Bread and Chocolate, Café Viejo, Mopri , Chilie Rojo and Stashu Con Fusion. Tours to try: Talamanca Chocolate Making Class, White Water Rafting through Exploradores. Jaguar Rescue Center and the Yorkin One Day Tour. We would love to stay there again! This is a house to experience.

Great Gem!

Our group of 4 had an amazing time on our first trip to Costa Rica! From this property it’s a very easy walk to what seems like, miles of black sand beaches. We enjoyed watching the Howler Monkeys on our walks, toucans flying around when we were utilizing the pool and watching all the lizards and frogs running around the property. One thing I was worried about before getting to the property was that it was listed as “open air”. While it is true that it is open air, it did have a netting type building material to keep the larger critters out! Nowhere has air conditioning in PV-and it was really non issue. I would however make sure to use bug spray. I was the only one in the group that was bitten, but the mosquitoes loved me. The home has just about all of the tools you’ll need. As an owner of a vacation rental myself, I can be a little picky, but we had everything we needed and more. The WiFi was more than adequate for doing some remote work for a few small bits of time. We didn’t experience any loud neighbors (other than the Howler Monkeys in the evenings at times, which was amazing). One of the bedrooms does hear vehicles passing, but this wasn’t a problem for our group. Pro tip: There’s a small hotel a block away, on the beach called, Banana Azul. Happy hour is 10am-5pm, 2 for 1! As long as you order a drink they will let you use the padded lounge chairs on the beach even though you’re not staying with them. Thank you for the hospitality. We can’t wait to visit again.

Simply gorgeous

The whole family loved our stay at Villa Pilon. Sarah made every step of the process so straightforward before and during our trip with every detail we requested met with a friendly supportive approach. The house itself is wonderful. The children loved the pool table, various board games and of course the pool. All the spaces are super comfortable and tastefully decorated. Juan and his mother looked after our daily needs cleaning the property and giving helpful suggestions for surf lesson and day trips. The beaches in the surrounding area are stunning. Our favourite was Cocles. We hired chef David for several lunches and dinners and his cooking was wonderful adapting to the requests of the family with a smile. He’s a lovely kind man with lots of stories to tell. Overall we cannot fault any aspect of this vacation. Thank you Sarah. We will be back…….❤️❤️

The Best Vacation Rental Ever!!

If you are looking to stay in the Puerto Viejo area, this home is the place to stay...a paradise itself. The home is open air, spacious, immaculate and super comfortable. The gardens that surround the home are lush and beautiful...with all kinds of wildlife around...exotic birds, lizards, colorful frogs, and you can hear howler monkeys daily. Sarah, the proprietor, was super helpful and gave us amazing suggestions. She helped us with transfers, she booked a chef for us one night (amazing), a massage (also great) and great restaurant recs. It rained often during our week there but that just gave us more time lounging at this incredible property. Highly recommend this property.!! Thanks Sarah and Jim for your kind hospitality.

Playa Negra Rainforest Retreat

We had a lovely stay here with our family, long-awaited after twice postponing our trip due to the pandemic. We found the original owner, Kenyi, and the new owners. Sarah and Jim, to be very accommodating and helpful. The house is stunning and ties in beautifully with the surroundings. The pictures do not fully do it justice. The third bedroom is separate from the main house, by the pool, and my teenage daughter quickly claimed it, enjoying a bit of separation from the rest of us. We spent much of our time when at the house in the outer sitting area, which is truly special. The home is open air, and we had no trouble keeping it cool enough for sleep; it is good to keep the bedroom doors closed at night to avoid bugs and other visitors. There was occasional noise from neighbours and the road that runs the length of the property, but that is part of being located within an active community. The property is ideally located for quick access to the stunning beaches, national parks, and villages in the area. Juan and Rosa (the care-taker and housekeeper) do an excellent job keeping an eye on things and maintaining the property. They made our stay extra special, as did David, the chef. We used his services for 3 nights while we were there, and his meals were amazing.

Paradies

Da wir noch nie in Costa Rica waren, haben wir nicht allzu große Erwartungen gehabt. Jedoch waren wir bei der Ankunft überwältigt, welch gepflegtes und wunderschönes Haus wir gebucht haben! Der Garten ist wundervoll. Der Hausmeister Juan kam sofort, um uns zu empfangen und Sarah, die Eigentümerin hat uns ebenso umgehend kontaktiert um eventuelle Fragen zu beantworten. Wir waren positiv überrascht, da das Haus täglich gereinigt wurde, dass Dinge wie Shampoo, conditioner, Salz, Pfeffer, Kaffee, etc alles vorhanden war. Das Inserat war somit vollkommen „untertrieben“, die Fotos des Objektes absolut „ehrlich“. Wir sind weder von Affen, noch von Waschbären oder lauten Nachbarn belästigt worden und unser Sohn war von der Qualität des WIFI begeistert! Wir kommen wieder!!!!

Thank you Sabine, it was a pleasure to have you and we look forward to hosting you again. For non German speakers, here is a translation: Paradise Since we've never been to Costa Rica, we didn't have too many expectations. However, when we arrived we were overwhelmed by the well-kept and beautiful house we had booked! The garden is wonderful. The caretaker Juan came immediately to welcome us and Sarah, the owner, contacted us immediately to answer any questions. We were pleasantly surprised, since the house was cleaned every day, that things like shampoo, conditioner, salt, pepper, coffee, etc. were all there. The listing was completely "understated", the photos of the home absolutely "honest". We weren't bothered by monkeys, raccoons or noisy neighbors and our son loved the quality of the WIFI! We will be back!!!!

Jungle Paradise

This property is absolutely amazing. Everything is so meticulously thought out! From the decor to the living areas (yes, multiple) to the layout design. There's room for ample privacy for multiple couples or family members. The main area is perfectly equipped for good times in the Casa- with plenty of games, a pool and even a billiards table. Not to mention it's right in the middle of the yard/ jungle so you'll be fully immersed in the action. We found it difficult to choose a night in the town vs. the casa. Sarah (the owner) is very communicative and supremely helpful with everything she knows and even has a private chef and masseuse at hand. Neither of which you'll regret booking! The caretaker, Juan is always around to assist in anything you need and is super kind. We felt very secure with a large automatic gate entrance (room to park a car). You are a short walk away from Banana Azul, the beach, and a convenient store. The only thing is it's a bit of bike ride to town, more than you'd want to walk. But we enjoyed the jungle more than our lack of proximity. Our group is already planning a trip back!

Dream tropical Christmas

We (two couples) had the perfect week enjoying arguably the best holiday home we've ever experienced. The property itself is stunning and has actually given us all plans to own/build something like it in the future! We probably didn't spend as long as we wanted there nor made the most of it, but more evenings than not were enjoyed at the house in the end, staying in, cooking and entertaining ourselves with the two forms of pool on offer. The owner, Sarah, was extremely attentive and helpful in organising our stay. The housekeeper, Juan, is a great and very willing guy, on hand if and when you need him. We are quite a self sufficient group but we know he would go above and beyond to cater for whatever you need. Sarah and Juan organised some amazing fresh lobster and fish for our arrival so we could make ourselves the ideal tropical christmas dinner. The walk to the vibrant town of Puerto Viejo is easily manageable but there are plenty of tuktuks around for quicker journeys. Lots of great bars, restaurants and live music to enjoy. Wildlife abounds in the neighbourhood and in the garden itself - resident green and black poison dart frogs and daily/ nightly visits of hummingbirds, parrots, flycatchers, tanagers, howler monkeys raccoons and olingos. We suggest taking a morning/evening/night walk 'around the block' to the forested and empty plots inland - plenty of sloths, howler monkeys, frogs, toucans, parrots and other birds to find. The only slight downside is it's actually quite a noisy neighbourhood. It may be due to the Christmas period, but lots of trucks pass the road adjacent to the property and there's a nearby/neighbouring 'party house', blaring out music til 4am every other night. Ear plugs are therefore a must for light sleepers. Tbh, we planned to wear them anyway to counter the dawn howler monkey chorus ;). This, however, didn't tarnish the stay at all and Casa Pilon genuinely is close to perfect! The house is an amazing base to explore the southern Caribbean coast of the country and we really do intend to return one day.

Hi Robin, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. Really glad that you had such a great time. Very much appreciate the wildlife tips too! Yes, you are right, there tends to be an increase in loud parties over Christmas. Have a wonderful year and we hope to have you back!

A few days in the Caribbean

We had know idea of what to expect when arriving to Puerto Viejo. Residencia Kenia was Beautiful and truly unique. The Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo and Playa Negra is a tropical paradise with a big party scene. However, we had a few rough nights. The house has no AC and can be very hot, with damp/wet bed sheets and pillows from the heat and humidity. Also, lots and lots of bugs/mosquitos. Should have brought bug spray. The biggest issue for us was the noise from the surrounding neighbors. We were woken up multiple times throughout the night from cars and people partying late into the night. On the last night we were woken up at 4:30am from one of the loudest “booms” I’ve ever heard. (And no it wasn’t thunder or lightning, that was going on all night as well) Louder than a shotgun, or a tire blowing, no doubt. Kinda sketch and freaky but I wasn’t too worried because of the great security at Residencia Kenia. Overall a good experience and a very beautiful and unique house.

Paradise

We stayed here for 6 days in mid February and enjoyed every minute. Pictures were accurate as well as description of the property. Location was within walking distance to plays negra and a quick drive of only a few minutes to grocery stores and downtown Puerto Viejo. The pool was wonderful, bedrooms large and comfortable. Left bananas out one night and did have a visitor that came to eat them but for us this added to the entertainment and to the feel of truly being a part of nature. Loved the breakfast that was included one morning as well as the bowl of fruit that was given to us. Would definitely recommend casa kenia!
