Mountain & Beach Retreat, With Breathtaking Ocean Views

A blend of the East and West, this luxurious duplex home (3 BDR/3 BR) with panoramic views to the Pacific Ocean is furnished with a fusion of two decors, Costa Rican (1st floor) and Japanese (2nd floor).

Welcome to your luxurious and peaceful retreat overlooking the spectacular ocean vistas of Playa Hermosa and Playa Jaco. This stunning townhouse features three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and panoramic views of the ocean and mountains, offering breathtaking sunrises and sunsets every day.

Experience tranquility and healing at this thoughtfully designed sanctuary, ideal for those seeking inner peace or simply a restorative getaway amidst life's challenges. Embracing the unique theme of "Where East Meets West," our townhouse beautifully blends Costa Rican warmth on the first floor and Japanese elegance on the second.

Step into relaxation in your private infinity pool, conveniently accessible from the comfortable living area. After a day of exploring nearby beaches, national parks, and local attractions, refresh yourself while soaking in expansive ocean views.

Our lush Sanctuary and Yoga Pad, nestled in the orchard below, invites you to meditate or unwind. Complete with hammocks, benches, and a picnic table shaded by a verdant canopy often visited by hummingbirds, it offers a serene setting and another exceptional perspective of the coastline.

Nature lovers will delight in the abundant local wildlife. Monkeys, macaws, toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, coatis, and iguanas frequently visit, embodying the community’s deep respect and love for nature.

FIRST FLOOR

Inside, the first floor features a cozy bedroom with a double and single bed, showcasing original art by local artists, while practical furniture offers generous storage. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped, featuring modern appliances, granite countertops, and a spacious island perfect for preparing meals or hosting gatherings. If preferred, delicious meals can be catered directly to the townhouse by Jaco Homes.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area includes custom-made furniture crafted from fine Costa Rican wood, complemented by a bookcase stocked with helpful resources like field guides, binoculars, and flashlights. Relax in the spacious living room, featuring comfortable seating and an HD TV perfect for streaming your favorite shows. A washer and dryer are available for your convenience.

SECONDO FLOOR

On the second floor, find two master bedrooms—aptly named the Kimono and Buddha rooms—each with king-sized beds, ample closets, en-suite bathrooms, and unique Japanese decorative touches, including authentic silk kimono wedding dresses. The Kimono room features a traditional-style seating area and wall-mounted TV, while the Buddha room includes a beautifully carved Buddha sculpture, a custom work desk, and a laser printer-copier. Both bedrooms provide access to a spacious balcony, furnished with rocking chairs and a cozy sofa for peaceful mornings or quiet evenings.

Awesome Wildlife!

Jaco Homes was amazing at communicating for all our needs. They helped with Taxi's, Personal Chef, tours, power outage, and check out... I will be using them again when I come visit again.

Amazing View!

This is our 9th trip to Costa Rica and this is one of the best views we've experienced. We enjoyed the BBQ grill, the shade and the breeze from the rooftop deck as well as the panoramic view of both Hermosa and Jaco. We had white faced monkeys on the property most days when we were home around sunset. We are cooks, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Bonus rice cooker and instant pot. We enjoyed the pool and the hammocks with their own secluded area and view. We loved the East meets West decor and would highly recommend this home.

Great house in the hills with fantastic ocean/beach views

Our group of 7 adults enjoyed 6 nights at this wonderful home. The description in the listing was spot on. There are several outdoor sitting areas from which to enjoy the view (and we used all of them!) and the wildlife. We had three in our group who were working remotely and they had no trouble finding a quiet place to complete their projects (decent WIFI too). The location was not a problem for us, but I would suggest a 4WD vehicle is necessary during rainy season on the steep and rutted dirt road up to the house. That said, it was only a ten minute drive down the mountain to the nearest store for essentials. Finally, the hosts were exceptional in their response to any questions or issues that we had during our stay. I could not ask for a better experience.
