About this property

Spectacular Ocean View, Private Pool above the Beach, 35 Minutes from Airport

Imagine waking up to the clouds rolling in over the bay and sunlight dancing on water. With views from nearly every room, Mariposa is a Pura Vida dream property featuring 3 full ensuite bedrooms with ocean views. The large covered back patio/lanai spans the length of the house. Relax on a Chaise lounge next to your private pool or read a book from our collection on a rocking chair. Our upgraded modem supports zoom perfect for remote work escape destination. On top of the views, original artwork and a well appointed kitchen with a Vitamix and Nepresso machine make this a stand out property. *Please note that the address listed by VRBO is Pez Vela, but we are NOT a part of that community. Rather we are next to the resort and cove of Bahia Pez Vela.

Villa Mariposa sits high above the surf in the Blue Zone called the Nicoya Peninsula minutes from two black sand beaches. Offering the ultimate in privacy, enjoy 200 degree views of Papagayo Bay from the entire resort- like backyard and from the double balconies off the upstairs bedrooms. Enjoy the leather rocking chairs on the covered patio that runs the length of the home or grill up your fresh catch and enjoy al fresco meal at our locally crafted Guanacaste table. Enjoy the local wildlife as you relax in the pool or read a book on a lounger under the thatched hut.

Entrance to the VIlla is stairless. The ground-floor master offers a private bathroom and stairless enjoyment of the villa and with direct access to the long lanai to enjoy the full impact of the view.
Guest access
Our road and driveway are steep but paved. We are minutes to two beaches but you need a car because fabulous views mean elevation. Two restaurants are within 5 minutes. Groceries stores, shopping, and many more restaurants are next door - about 15 minutes.
Other things to note
Our favorite beach, Bahia Pez Vela, (Bay of Sail Fish) is minutes from house by car or a 15 minute walk. You must be in good shape to walk the hills however, so please be aware our area is very hilly. Being semi- private the beach and water are Blue-Flag- meaning pristine. Turn right from our driveway, right to go down the hill and then left. Go through the gate (if they ask tell them you are going to the beach) and continue down towards the Beach until you see a parking lot on the right. In low tide you can snorkel around the rocks -varies by season and tide. You can also access water sports at all the local beaches. The closest are Playa Azul, Ocotal Beach, and Coco Beach.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy and Al McEwan

Host profile image
Gary and Amanda are both Navy veterans and have lived all over the world. They fell in love with the warm calm waters of the Papagayo Bay and look forward to retiring at Villa Mariposa in a few years. Until then you can enjoy the magic. Amanda is an artist and Expressive Arts Coach and Gary is an Immunologist. They live in Southern California where they also host guests at their mountain home in Idyllwild, CA. They both love nature.

Why they chose this property

Views, Privacy, Views, Original Art on the walls, Views, Views, Privacy. This isn't just an investment property. This is our home away from home, and we hope you will treat it with the same TLC we do. We love Ocotal because it retains in local culture unlike many of the over touristy locations in Costa Rica. There are offerings of international cuisine, easy shopping, and local culture. We are in easy driving distance of Lake Arenal, Monteverde, and the splendid waterfalls of the Rincon volcano. Many of our beaches are black sand and when under certain conditions, you can snorkel directly off the beach. You can also explore the quiet beaches of the north unknown to most tourists.

What makes this property unique

Villa Mariposa feels very private with its expansive view but you can actually be on the beach or at Father Roosters in a matter of minutes. Our kitchen is well stocked and our local property management is ready to serve you or leave you in peace, whichever you prefer.
