Discover a rare architectural gem where the rainforest meets refined living
Discover a rare architectural sanctuary in the very heart of downtown Playa Chiquita, where rainforest, design, and barefoot Caribbean living come together.
This three bedroom, two full bathroom home was created for those who want to feel immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. Every space flows effortlessly from indoors to outdoors, capturing the Caribbean breeze and opening onto lush tropical gardens that feel private, serene, and alive.
At the center of the property is its most unforgettable feature: a private natural swimming pool and fresh water pond with viewing windows. The chemical-free pool is connected to a thriving aquatic ecosystem perfectly balanced to filter and pump crystal clear water back into the pool. Stepping stones and glass windows around the pond connect you to an underwater world of wildlife.
Whether you are cooling off after a morning at the beach or watching toucans from the water’s edge, it is the ultimate space to decompress and reconnect with nature.
The Highlights:
Natural Pool & Freshwater Pond A one of a kind living water feature with a dedicated regeneration aquarium, freshwater fish, and a glass viewing section from the yoga deck and lower patio. Chemical free, beautifully designed, and deeply calming.
The Home Three spacious bedrooms each customizable with the option of one king-sized or two twin beds and two full bathrooms provide comfortable accommodation for families, couples, or friends traveling together. The layout allows for both connection and privacy, making it ideal for longer stays or work from paradise.
Indoor Outdoor Living The open concept living areas flow directly into the gardens, creating a spacious and airy sanctuary designed for slow mornings, long lunches, and relaxed evenings. You will find double sliding glass doors between the indoor and outdoor living spaces and the kitchen and dining area. The covered outdoor dining, lounge and designated work areas allow you to enjoy the outdoors rain or shine.
Modern Comfort Fast WiFi for remote work, comfortable bedding, a fully equipped kitchen for cooking with local ingredients, and thoughtful details throughout the home. Bathrooms have the option of a handheld or luxurious rainshower head! Each bedroom features a double closet with hanging space, storage baskets, corner desk and individual AC unit for custom temperature control for each room.
Wildlife in the Garden Guests have spotted incredible wildlife on and around the property including toucans, great green macaws, and other bird species, green dart frogs and other amphibians, Basiliscus lizards and other reptiles, several butterfly species including blue morpho, howler and capuchin monkeys, and two and three-fingeres sloths! Wildlife moves around the area freely & naturally so specific sightings cannot be guaranteed. For guaranteed, up-close wildlife viewing we suggest a tour of the nearby Jaguar Rescue Center (less than a ten minute drive).
Walkable Paradise Leave the car behind. You are just a five minute stroll from the golden sands of Playa Chiquita and within walking distance of the area’s best dining, cafés, and boutique shops.
The Neighborhood Playa Chiquita is often described as the quiet luxury corner of the South Caribbean. In just ten minutes on foot, you can enjoy world class sourdough, authentic Italian cuisine, fresh Caribbean fusion, and vibrant local cafés, all within a multicultural and welcoming community. The beach is protected by offshore reefs that create calm, natural swimming areas often described as ocean jacuzzis, perfect for safe and peaceful dips.
Here, everything is within reach. Jungle, ocean, food, culture, and comfort all meet in one extraordinary location.
ADDITIONAL INFO Our property is immersed in the Caribbean jungle, offering a truly unique and authentic nature experience. Even though it is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and the main road, the home itself feels surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, giving you the best of both easy access and a peaceful jungle setting.
The pond on the property is part of a natural ecosystem where you will see fish and occasionally different types of amphibians, including frogs and toads. To preserve the delicate balance of our pool's adjacent living water system, guests are required to shower before entering the pool. This simple ritual keeps damaging lotions, sunscreen, and oils out of the water, ensuring the ecosystem remains healthy and crystal clear.
This area is rich in biodiversity, and it’s common to see a wide variety of birds, as well as wildlife such as monkeys, sloths, raccoons, and other native species. You may also spot a kinkajou, as well as a tolomuco, both of which are part of the local fauna.
The house itself is fully enclosed, so indoor spaces remain clean and comfortable, and it’s very unlikely that you’ll encounter wildlife inside. Outdoor areas, however, are naturally shared with the surrounding environment.
Living in this setting means being connected to nature at all times. The presence of wildlife is part of what makes this location so special. If you’re looking to disconnect and experience the beauty of the Caribbean rainforest up close while still being close to everything this is the perfect place.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
Playa Chiquita offers an incredible connection to nature, with pristine beaches and lush jungles filled with wildlife, all adjacent to a small town that provides everything that you could need. It truly offers the best of both worlds. Just steps away from the house you'll find cafes, restuarants, a grocery store, pharmacy, and boutiques. Cross the street and walk down a short path and you've reached jungle lined beaches where you can float in the sea and spot monkeys, sloths, and more on the shore, while pelicans and macaws fly overhead and tropical fish swim below.
Head north and you will reach the bustling beaches of Playa Cocles, where you'll find beachside dinging, volleyball courts, a beach gym, and other activities then further up the main town of Puerto Viejo. Head south from Playa Chiquita and reach Punta Uva where (weather permitting) you can kayak out in the sea or down the wildlife river. Further south you'll find Playa Grande, which has incredible snorkeling and Refugio Nacional Gandoca-Manzanillo where you can hike through the jungle to remote, hidden beaches.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
When Laureli purchased this property the landscaping was primarily gravel, concrete, and tile. She collaborated with the Sloth Conservation Foundation, local ecology consultants, and a natural pool expert to restore the space with native plants to create a thriving ecosystem filled with wildlife.
The house was fully renovated in 2025. Laureli thoughtful chose every detail of the design and worked with a local crew and woodworkers to bring the vision to life. She wanted to create a space that she could share with family, friends, and guests. One where they could enjoy the incredible wildlife of Costa Rica while still experiencing the comfort and convenience of a luxury vacation home.
