The Pinnacle-Costa Rica ✦ Ocean-View Estate ✦ Infinity Pool ✦ Breakfast & Carts
Welcome to The Pinnacle, an elevated coastal retreat perched high above the Pacific in the private gated community of Mar Vista. Perfectly positioned between Playa Conchal and Playa Flamingo, this luxurious eight-bedroom oceanview villa offers sweeping views of the Pacific, the Flamingo Marina, and the surrounding jungle canopy that stretch endlessly toward the horizon.
Designed as a hosted luxury villa experience, every stay at The Pinnacle-Costa Rica includes daily authentic Costa Rican breakfast prepared at the villa, light housekeeping service, and complimentary use of up to three 6-passenger golf carts for exploring Mar Vista and the surrounding beaches and towns. Guests also enjoy private concierge support throughout their stay, with assistance for planning, local recommendations, transportation coordination, and curated experiences in and around the area.
The result is the comfort and privacy of a luxury estate paired with the ease and attentiveness of boutique hospitality.
From the moment you arrive, The Pinnacle invites you to slow down and settle into its rhythm. The journey begins at a masterfully crafted teak entry door—an intricate piece of art that filters the tropical sunlight into a warm, dappled glow while preserving a sense of privacy and intrigue. Crossing the threshold, the home opens into a light-filled space where thoughtful architecture, natural materials, and local craftsmanship create an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply connected to Costa Rica.
Locally crafted teak furnishings and a striking geometric teak wall rising through the staircase opening anchor the home’s design with warmth and character. Expansive glass doors and windows dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, allowing ocean breezes and natural light to move freely through the living spaces. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen, spacious dining area, and inviting living room are designed for effortless gathering, while the home’s layout also offers quiet corners for moments of rest and reflection.
The Pinnacle features eight spacious bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom, offering both comfort and privacy for larger families or groups traveling together. On the main level, a principal suite with a king bed opens directly onto the pool terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor luxury and outdoor living. Two additional bedrooms on this level feature queen beds and private en-suites, providing convenient access without stairs.
Upstairs, two additional principal suites with king beds offer private balconies and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding jungle. The upper level also includes three more bedrooms—two with queen beds and one with two queen beds side by side—each thoughtfully designed with high-end finishes and its own en-suite bathroom so every guest enjoys a private retreat within the home.
Outdoor living is at the heart of The Pinnacle experience. The infinity-edge pool stretches toward the horizon, creating the sensation of floating above the Pacific below. Just beyond the bridge crossing the pool lies The Lounge, a tranquil seating area offering plush comfort and panoramic views—an ideal place to begin the day with coffee or gather at sunset as the sky turns gold over the ocean.
Beneath the trees, The Hangout offers a playful and relaxed atmosphere with hanging chairs, swings, and a suspended daybed surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. Nearby, The Bar & Grill becomes the natural gathering point in the evenings—an open-air kitchen and bar seating area designed for shared meals, sunset cocktails, and long conversations under the Costa Rican sky.
Throughout the property, each space is thoughtfully designed to create moments of connection, relaxation, and joy. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast overlooking the ocean, lounging beside the pool, gathering for dinner at the grill, or watching the sun disappear into the Pacific, The Pinnacle offers a setting where every moment feels elevated.

The house is spectacular and perfectly situated in a gated community between two terrific beach towns. Stunning vistas, lots of spaces to hang out for adults and teen/twenty somethings, and great amenities (including access to pickle ball courts). Beyond that, the owner was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs - definitely went above and beyond. I could not have asked for anything more for our multi-family trip. Thank you.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words-it truly means a lot to us. Hosting you and your group over Christmas was such a special experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better group to welcome as our very first guests at The Pinnacle.
We’re so glad the home, views, and spaces created the perfect setting for your multi-family time together - that’s exactly what The Pinnacle was designed for. And your generosity in sharing us with friends who may enjoy a future stay (and some pickleball!) means more than you know.
Thank you again for being such fantastic guests. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you and your family back anytime.
Warmly,
James & The Pinnacle Team

Jim & Traci were amazing host. The location of the home is an easy, short drive from the Liberia airport. Nestled in a quiet community you have walking trails and a beautiful pickleball facility. There is also a wonderful restaurant (Gracia) you can easily walk to. 5-7 minute drive and you are at the beach!! The house had everything we needed on night we cooked. Opt for the private chef at least once to have a delicious meal made for you! Anything we needed the owners were responsive and went above and beyond. Golf carts are a great addition to easily bop around to local restaurants and beaches. More than enough space at the house for our large crew, we will for sure be back! Thank you Jim & Traci for sharing your home!
