Highlights
The great outdoors
Guests love the outdoor space here.
On the beach
A rare beachfront property in the area - enjoy direct access to the sand and sea.
True direct beachfront — just 20 steps to the sand No roads. No crossings. No crowds. Just you, the ocean, and uninterrupted nature.
Wake up to waves, fall asleep to the sound of the surf, and live your stay barefoot between jungle and sea.
What sets this apart:
Ocean views from both sleeping areas Front-row sunsets from your private space Beachfront soaking tub under the stars Walkable to town — yet completely private A rare blend of seclusion and convenience Wildlife & Nature — Your Daily Backdrop
This is not just a beach stay — it is an immersive nature experience.
Step outside and you are part of one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse coastal ecosystems:
Scarlet macaws regularly fly overhead in pairs, often at sunrise and sunset White-faced monkeys move through the trees nearby Sloths occasionally appear — quiet and unforgettable Iguanas, tropical birds, and butterflies throughout the property Seasonal whale sightings offshore (July–Oct & Dec–Apr) Consistent, unobstructed sunset views
Positioning insight: Most beachfront listings do not combine this level of wildlife, privacy, and direct ocean access in one setting.
Beachfront Living — Effortless and Authentic
Your yard is the beach.
Morning coffee steps from the ocean Swim, surf, or walk the shoreline anytime Sunset walks directly from your door No crowds, no vendors — just open coastline
This environment naturally encourages guests to slow down, disconnect, and reset.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Curry
Moving to Costa Rica was the best decision of my life! I spent the last 25 years as an International Tech Executive (based in Silicon Valley), traveling throughout the US and Asia. It was very exciting and is something I very much enjoyed. Then........9 years ago I made the decision to dramatically change my life and boy am I glad I did! Costa Rica is an amazing place and I look forward to meeting you so I can share some of my experiences with you!
Why they chose this property
When I came to Costa Rica in 2016, I had two things in mind: privacy and oceanfront living. Now here we are — living the life on a beautiful, quiet beach just 20 steps from the casita. Morning coffee with the waves, sunsets every night, and the sound of the ocean while you sleep. It really doesn’t get much better than this.
What makes this property unique

One word: BEACHFRONT.
Step directly from the villa onto the sand. Swim in the warm Pacific Ocean, ride the waves, or grab a boogie board right in front of the house. No driving, no shuttles — just pura vida at your doorstep.
