About this villa rental

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!

This house is beautiful and is on a private beach near playa Herradura. It’s situated on a mountain above the Los Suenos Marriott resort and is about 20 minutes from Jaco beach. It was very clean and exceeded our expectations. We hired Olga to cook for us for most of the week and she was AMAZING!! She was so sweet and cooked the most delicious meals! She really was one of the best things about our vacation and cooked us lots of authentic Costa Rican food. We rented a car from the airport (about 2 hours drive) and highly recommend doing that so that you can get around easier. It’s about a 20 minute drive to the local grocery store / shopping area. We went to the grocery store just about every day. There are loads of activities within a hour to two drive of the house. We used the Viator app to find tours, etc. We also went to the private beach in front of the house nearly every day. Our host Anna was amazing and always in close communication when I had any questions. She helped me arrange airport transfer as well. Overall an OUTSTANDING family vacation in a Costa Rican paradise!

What a vacation!! This home was everything we had hoped it would be. We spent most of the day at the very close beach (2 flights of stairs ) or lounging in the outdoor living room. The BEST part of the trip was Olga!! She made us breakfast and dinner every day. It was the most amazing food. She takes great pride in what she makes and everything was so good. She also cleaned the home and changed the sheets mid week. It was so nice to have her and would never want to vacation with out her again. We watched the Macaws every morning from the house. It was such a great location. We will be back!!

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!
