About this villa rental

Situated in Herradura, this attractive villa for $935 per night is a great choice for your next break. Paradise Found - Luxury Beachfront Villa with Spectacular Ocean Views of the Pacific at Playa Escondida The property is located on a private, white sandy beach next to Los Sueños Marriot Resort. At the foot of a lush tropical forest where toucans sing and monkeys swing, this expansive abode is perched on a hill with a 180 degree view of the ocean. A stone’s throw from the beach, the villa boasts the best position in the exclusive private gated community of Playa Escondida, where the most discriminating Costa Rican and international families have their vacation homes. Please take note that this condominium caters only to FAMILY LIFE, NO GROUPS OF SINGLE MEN LOOKING FOR SINGLE LADIES IS ALLOWED. After a period of enjoying the villa for ourselves, we started to rent the house this year since we purchased a slightly larger home down the road. Casa Caracola includes 400 square meters of construction (4,300square feet) and is located less than 50 meters (165 feet) from the beach. It shares a pool and deck area with 5 other elegant homes. The well-kept and secure beach is exclusive to the Club de Playa Escondida SA, community under which it is regulated. The place has the perfect mix of outdoor living and state-of-the-art technology, i.e. high speed internet throughout the house, full cellular signal coverage, central air-conditioning in the main living room, kitchen and all bedrooms. The main story is centered around an outdoor living room with a stately square dining table with comfortable, upholstered chairs which seat 8, next to a relaxed seating area. The 21 X 21 ft ( 7 x 7 mts) main living room has a ¬¬50” LCD HD TV with Apple TV, a supersized coffee-table with drawers full of board games for all ages. Become an ocean-view cook experimenting in beautiful solid cedar kitchen with granite tops and new stainless steel appliances. Take the solid teak stairs down to a large deck with lounge sofas and hammock that face a lush tropical garden and access three 10 ft ceiling bedrooms. The Blue Room has two full beds separated by a soji screen and a large private bathroom. The Aqua Room has a beautiful colonial-style mahogany queen bed, private bathroom and walk-in closet. The Indigo Room has two large spaces separated with a soji-screen. Upon entering there are two twin beds for kids, behind the glass partition we find the master king bed. Both spaces share a large bathroom with two sinks, they each have spacious closets and access to a private deck facing the garden. Additionally, the villa has a two-car garage, plus two separate spaces for cars, a laundry room with washer and dryer, chairs and stuff for the beach. Yet the best is yet to come…. a rooftop terrace to see the sunset over the Pacific, just before the stars stud the dark celestial sphere, if the moon does not fill everything with its white serene luminescence. The house’s finishes are premium quality. It is built of reinforced concrete, with thick and tall whitewashed walls. Doors, windows, columns and beams, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and jalousies are made of local almendro hardwood and cedar. Italian porcelanato floors, teak decks, natural-stone-carved sinks in the bathrooms and bamboo ceilings complete the villa´s palette of materials. Playa Escondida is located less than 2 hours drive from San José’s Juan Santamaría International Airport. It is a secure gated community inside the Marriot Los Sueños Resort, which includes a large marina plus amenities and a paradisiacal 18-hole golf course. It is a few kilometers away from the town of Herradura with its high end supermarket and boutiques, and the city of Jacó Beach where one finds a lively night life, with plenty of restaurants, casinos and shops. If you like the extreme adventures Costa Rica offers, I you enjoy surfing, or building sand castles, or if you are totally fine with simply sipping a cold refreshment under a palm tree; if you love the sun, the sea, the stars and the rainforest, then Playa Escondida is your perfect destination!

My family and I spent 10 wonderful days here. The house met all our needs. It was spacious, the view from the outside room was spectacular and we were just a very short walk to the beach. Many times we had the beach to ourselves. The surf was fun, water warm and beach sandy. Who could ask for anything more?!!! Olga made a lot of meals for us. It made our experience here truly a vacation. Olga is a wonderful lady who makes delicious meals and was accommodating to our wishes. I would highly recommend her. She also has a great sense of humour. 😊 I really enjoyed having around. This would be a great place to return to. 😊🌴🍹😎

We had a wonderful time and the home is amazing. Beautiful views, secluded and very safe. The beach is private and you really can’t beat it. Anna was great and very responsive. We did not rent a car like she suggested, and in hindsight it would have been nice to have one. But, with our large group of 8, we felt better having a van and driver come and get us for our excursions, and it worked out fine. Thank you Anna for everything!!

We stayed here with a group of family/friends and our 8 month old baby. The house is beautiful, with jaw dropping views of the ocean. It’s a minute walk to the beach which is practically private and full of shade. We even saw a whale breach from the shore! Anna provided a pack n play, baby bath, and high chair, which was very helpful! Every night we sat in the large outdoor living area enjoying the incredible sunsets while sweet Olga cooked us dinner, which was always so delicious! Olga even offered to hold the baby while we got to eat! She is so kind and really made our experience that much better! I know we plan to stay here again and she is a big reason for that! We really appreciate the lovely experience and would highly recommend to everyone!

Every aspect of our stay was beyond our expectations! This setting provided the perfect spot for my family, including children and grandchildren, to relax, and enjoy quality time together. There was space to be together as well as space to be quiet with privacy. This clean and comfortable home is an incredibly well appointed space that provided everything we needed. The location is also ideal! A beautiful beach, and sunset views were fantastic. An added benefit was accessibility to shopping and fun activities. The property manager was extremely helpful and responded to any questions we had immediately! I am very grateful for her support during our stay! As we left my family wanted to know when we can return!

Our stay at Casa Caracola was by far the best family vacation we have ever had! The location is perfect (1.5 hours from San Jose airport), a few feet from the most stunning private beach, and a short (15-20 min) drive to Playa Herdura and Jaco for restaurants, surfing, and tours. The house was as advertised and better, clean, spacious, breathtaking views, comfortable beds, huge bathrooms. The open veranda and layout made us feel like we were in our own private hotel. But what made this trip the most memorable was having Olga be part of our stay. She was absolutely incredible! Purchased all our groceries, cooked dinners for us, and breakfast on a few occasions, and did all the cleaning after. We would spend all day on the beach, watch the sunset and then walk up to fresh pinacoladas and hot empanadas being set on the table. She even made my 1 year old son special dinners like pasta or fries in case he didn’t like the food. She made traditional Costa Rican meals one night and gave us our own private cooking lesson, answering all our questions and letting us participate in the preparation of the meal. She was such a sweet and comforting presence during our stay, always available to answer questions or help clean up, even folding our laundry and changing our sheets! We were planning on having her cook only a few meals for us but after eating out once we quickly realized her cooking was far better than any restaurant and ended up having her cook every meal for the rest of the trip! Anna was quick to respond to any questions and made the booking process smooth and easy. We had 9 adults and 1 infant and the place had more than enough space for everyone. If you are on the fence about this location let me put you at ease that it is well worth the price. But only if you have Olga make you tacos and empanadas! We miss her already!

Very comfortable house with amazing views in exclusive beach near San José. I have lived in San José for 20 years and this location is still the best beach near the capital.
