Tucked away on a protected wildlife refuge, this is the hidden gem you've been dreaming of — a modern luxury front-row beachfront home where a world-class surf break sits right in front and nature feels wonderfully untouched.

This very up-to-date, well-cared-for exclusive beachfront escape offers 180° panoramic ocean views, four private oceanfront decks, and direct access to a secluded stretch of beach. Families, nature lovers, and groups will discover sophisticated comfort and rare serenity that most visitors to Costa Rica never experience.

This rare sanctuary on the Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala Wildlife Refuge blends modern luxury with an intimate connection to nature: scarlet macaws fly by daily around 7am and 4pm, sea turtles nest along the shore, and from the upper decks you may catch glimpses of whales and dolphins offshore. Enjoy breathtaking west-facing sunsets painting the sky right from your front yard. Explore 5 miles of pristine beach with soft, smooth sand perfect for peaceful walks that feel like your own private coastline.

Just a short stroll down the street lies the tranquil Laguna Pochotal — a scenic lagoon ideal for birdwatching and gentle hikes. A quarter-mile walk along the beach brings you to excellent restaurants and beach bars serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Surf competitions light up the weekend every Saturday, and sunset parties happen every Sunday — all within easy walking distance.

The entire 3,900 sq ft home spans all three floors and is fully private for your group. It features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with 4 king beds, 2 queen beds, 1 twin, and 1 single (all with luxurious linens). Enjoy two full kitchens with high-end appliances, dishwashers, and gas stoves, plus filtered drinking water on each floor. High-speed fiber optic WiFi and smart TVs are provided in every room. Additional premium touches include 2 Weber gas grills, an outdoor shower, 2 full-size washer/dryers, and access to the private community pool and pavilion (shared with the community, no reservations required).

We have two high-speed internet connections — fiber optic and cable — so you should never have any connection issues.

One pound of fresh Sloth Life Coffee is included with your stay. We proudly serve this single-origin Costa Rican coffee from our own brand (slothlifecoffee.com).
