About this villa rental
Staying at Casa Celeste feels like you are spending your days in your own beach front private nature reserve. A natural corridor for many of Costa Rica’s wildlife. Listening to the sounds of the waves all day is a truly peaceful experience. Enjoy your own private pool, outdoor ocean view bathtub & shower, BBQ, beach bonfires, yoga deck, hammocks, outdoor seating & entertaining area. Our home is an ocean front facing open modern living concept. Daily housekeeping & personal concierge services provided.
We are approximatly 1100 meters (1/2 mile) from Santa Teresa. The biggest difference between our two sister towns of Mal Pais and Santa Teresa is that Mal Pais is more relaxed, quiet and private. Staying in Mal Pais is the best of both towns, you can drive into Santa Teresa to enjoy our many beaches, restaurants and hustle and bustle; then retreat home to your peaceful and quiet rental home. We have several natural tide pools to enjoy out to the left of the property and also to the right of the property in addition to our private pool. While it is rocky right out front what makes this location special are our many tide pools located to the left and right. We are also a short walk to Playa Carmen beach where you can enjoy swimming & surfing by walking. We do recommend renting a car as Costa Rica is a country worth exploring every inch and every beach. We have several beautiful beaches to check out during your visit. Upon completion of your reservation we send you our Welcome Packet PDF file which contains all kinds of useful information about our area, activities, beaches, restaurants along with always being available to help you plan your perfect Costa Rican vacation.
We are located beachfront. A private 1.5 acre property.
Our 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is located in Mal Pais, Costa Rica. 1100 meters from the Cruce (crossroads) boarding Santa Teresa.
This incredible tropical location will cradle you in comfort. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves from every point of the house. Yoga deck, outdoor shower & bathtub. Private pool for your pleasure and beachfront hammocks.
Experience unforgettable sunsets right out front all year. This is the ideal spot for the perfect family vacation, friends, or a romantic couples get-away. At Casa Celeste we provide you with an onsite caretaker who's favorite thing to do is to take care of you. If you are looking to experience "Pura Vida" lifestyle; you've come to the right place.
For those interested in surfing, there is a left point break within a short walking distance, and for the more experienced surfers there is a right point break steps from the property. We are located 600 meters south of the World Famous surfing beaches of Playa Santa Teresa (3 minute drive).
There is much to explore in our roughly 5km of flat dirt road between the villages of Mal Pais & Playa Santa Teresa. We look forward to hosting you soon!

We spent 2 days in Casa Celeste last year during our trip in Costa Rica in april 2015. The feeling we had when we arrived was very strong, the feeling to have reached our terminal destination, where we all want to finish our life.
The house is really direct on the beach, and we had our breakfasts in the hammock, on the beach, with a lot of animals in the trees doing the same.
The house is perfectly comfortable and clean, and thanks to Vicente who warmly welcomed us, we were told all the useful information to survive in paradise...he showed us the way to a private warm swimming pool, on the beach where we had the best glass of wine, looking with tears in our eyes at the sunset.
That was a wonderful stay, I really mean it ! You can't miss that place.
I can see only one negative point...we are so sad now when we think about Casa Celeste !
Thanks Diana and Ran...Thanks Vicente

Our family of 5 very much enjoyed our short stay at Casa Celeste: and I agree with the other reviewers. Vicente was welcoming and yet reclusive, the house was rustic, clean and comfortable. The location was the best we say along the shore of Malpais. The owners were responsive and it was easy to book with them. Everything was comfortable and nice. The only thing I missed was a microwave and we got over that quickly. Cold milk with your coffee isn't the end of the world....We had a big truck which was a bit difficult to park in Santa Teresa so I recommend a smaller 4 wheel drive or rent an atv to drive to the store. Visit the tico restaurant Caracoles 2 houses up - wonderful food and very nice hosts.The bakery was excellent, but we preferred to eat breakfast and drink our coffee at the best view in town - Casa Celeste. Visit secret beach at low tide so you can snorkel, but bring your shoes at it's very rocky, but lovely. Make sure you visit Playa Hermosa which I believe is one of the loveliest and safest beaches to swim at in CR. Enjoy!

Casa Celeste is a nice, welcoming, clean and rustic house. It is well situated in Malpais and totally appropriate for a family. The owner is pleasant and provided all the information we needed to go to the house and to enjoy the surroundings. The caretaker is a gem.

We got back from Casa Celeste 2 weeks ago and it's been on my mind ever since. Our stay was amazing and so is Vicente!! Vicente made our stay truly special, something we will never forget. The home is beautiful and comfortable, has everything you need. The scenery is beautiful it feels so secluded, though everything (i.e. restaurants, stores) is nearby. We rented ATVs for the time there and got around the village just fine. I would absolutely recommend Casa Celeste if you'll be traveling to Mal Pais!!!

We came across this house while eating breakfast down the street debating our next move for the trip.
Diana got back to me immediately and 3 hours later we were lounging in the hammocks situated right on the beach in front of the house. Vicente was extremely helpful and most importantly, a great guy.
This house was everything we needed for an amazing week!

Our family of 5 ended our Costa Rican vacation at Diana's and Ran's Casa Celeste from July 2nd to July 5th. We arrived from Monteverde by 4WD through at-times torturous roads and we found paradise! We could not have picked a more heavenly setting after a two week adventure trek through Costa Rica! The property is beautiful, the ocean views are gorgeous, the house is spacious, well-equipped and clean and Vincente the care-taker is a wonderful, heartwarming gentleman...We will always remember his hospitality. A family of howler monkeys greeted us every morning and evening, wild horses grazed by the ocean, iguanas scampered across the front lawn, geckos ate supper with us, millions of tiny crabs descended upon the beaches in the evenings, tropical squirrels fought over coconuts! What more can you ask for! We walked along the shore from the house to the beach of Mal Pais and all the way to playa Santa Teresa, where we enjoyed a full day swimming and playing in the surf. Best waves ever according to the kids! Vincente set us up for surfing classes at Playa Carmen with Luna and Edite. We had a blast! The town of Santa Teresa is a gem! It was a perfect setting for our last days in Costa Rica. Enjoying the beaches, listening to the ocean surf, watching the surfers and the amazing sunsets from the outdoor patio...Thank you Vincente for the coconut water, the conversations and stories, the fire by the beach...all things that made our holidays so special. Pura Vida!
