About this property

Casa Tortuga - Beautiful Spacious Beachfront House

Wake up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean at Casa Tortuga, a charming 4-bedroom beachfront villa in Esterillos Oeste. Step outside to miles of quiet sandy beach, perfect for walking, biking, swimming, or surfing right in front of the house. Relax under the almond trees, watch for monkeys and Scarlet Macaws, or enjoy the ocean view from the spacious veranda. Restaurants and local bars are within walking distance.

The heart of Casa Tortuga is its large oceanfront veranda overlooking the beach and Pacific Ocean. It is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, have a meal with family and friends, read a book, or simply sit back and watch the waves.

The home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests across four private bedrooms. Three bedrooms feature queen-size beds, while the fourth has two single beds. Every bedroom includes both air conditioning and a ceiling fan, allowing you to stay comfortable throughout your visit. Open the windows and let the ocean breeze and sound of the waves accompany you to sleep.

The villa has an open-concept layout designed for spending time together. The fully equipped kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area, and living room all connect naturally, with large windows bringing the ocean views and tropical surroundings into the home.

The home is also equipped with Starlink Wi-Fi, providing a fast and reliable internet connection for remote work, streaming, staying connected, or simply sharing your Costa Rican adventures.

For added peace of mind, the property has its own dedicated water storage tank, helping provide a reliable water supply during your stay.

Outdoor Living

Just outside the living room, you'll find a spacious covered rancho in the backyard. With a BBQ and space for meal preparation and dining, it's an ideal spot for cooking together, enjoying a cold drink, and gathering with family and friends.

At Casa Tortuga, outdoor living is part of everyday life.

Sunrise to Sunset

Start your morning with a walk along the beach, fresh coconut water from the palm trees, and the first light of the day over the Pacific.

Because the property faces south, you can enjoy the changing colors of the sky throughout the day and finish your evening in the same comfortable spot with a drink as the sun goes down.

In between, you can fill your days with surfing, beach walks, biking, wildlife watching, exploring nearby towns and attractions, or simply doing absolutely nothing.

At Casa Tortuga, the beach is your backyard, the ocean is your view, and relaxation comes naturally.

Wonderful beach house!

Our family of 7 loved staying at Casa Tortuga! It was probably our favorite place we stayed in Costa Rica - right across the street from a beautiful beach, very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need for cooking, beach towels provided, in short: highly recommended!

Old school/up graded beach house

Casa Tortuga is a wonderful spot right on the beach. It's a typical Costa Rica vacation home upgraded with A.C. and full kitchen. They did a great job keeping the Tico vibe, but making it welcoming for those expecting hot water, etc. Esterillos has, so far, managed to escape the big developers that have taken over most of Guanacaste. It is a spot where you can still get fresh caught fish right from the boat.Our contact, Keylor, was very communicative and ready to help in any way he could.If you want to party go to Tamarindo, but if you want to relax on a quiet beach and grill fresh fish this is the place.

Nice but has water issues

Marla the host was great. House was nice and had most everyone we needed. However, the water from the tap was 1) Un-drinkable, 2) turned off between noon and 6pm daily, and 3) when it was available there was little to no pressure. Finally the living room didn’t have AC so it was super hot which cause everyone to hang out in their room to stay cool rather that hanging out as a family. +1 star if Owner is looking to add a water storage tank to fix the above issues which would raise my rating to to a 4 +1 star if they added AC in the living room

This home is 2 hrs from San Jose airport and 30min from the booming beach town of Jaco.  
If you are looking for a place to recharge and explore look no further, this is the place for you. You can literally walk for miles in either direction along the beach and enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The west end of the village features a unique lava reef, that emerges at low tide forming natural pools and showcasing the famous mermaid statue. The east side gives the town its name, thanks to the estuary, which is also an excellent spot for fishing.
