Luxurious private villa with breathtaking views & beautiful resort amenities

THE LOCATION

Set between the resort’s two infinity pools and just a few minutes walk to our stunning, tranquil beach, we love our location, as it offers privacy that can be hard to find in a resort AND views that are second to none!

THE VILLA

The Villa is a 2,200 sq ft split level, with kitchen, living room, dining room, and full laundry on the main floor, a powder room half-way up the stairs, and 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and large balcony upstairs. After an extensive renovation, during which we focused on local materials and preserving the Costa Rican vibe, the Villa features natural stone flooring, solid wood cabinetry and furniture, upscale large and small appliances, and in the dining room, a bamboo ceiling. The front of the Villa opens up via two sets of French doors to let the outside in. Views from every room on both levels are second to none.

Upstairs, the master bedroom and ensuite are furnished with gorgeous pochote wood. Both the master and second bedrooms walk out to a large balcony where you can savor your morning coffee as you watch the howler monkeys swinging in the trees, or whales, dolphins, and manta rays swimming by in the bay. The third bedroom looks out the other direction over the islands of the Gulf of Papagayo.

Local artwork and prints of scenery from around the area decorate the walls.

The villa is equipped with a high quality water filtration system to ensure your drinking water and ice are absolutely pure. High speed Internet is also provided.

THE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE

In Costa Rica, your outdoor space is just as important as what’s indoor. At our Villa, the expansive outdoor living area is furnished with vibrant and cozy furniture that you can curl up in to read a book, enjoy your breakfast, or watch the local wildlife such as monkeys, iguanas, and coatimundi which are all frequent visitors. The panoramic beach and ocean views make hanging out in the outdoor living space special, as whales, dolphins, schools of tuna, and manta rays can often be seen cruising by or frolicking out in front of the resort.

RELAXING AND DINING

If you are looking for complete relaxation, why leave the property? With a spacious outdoor living area complete with comfortable furniture perfect for snoozing, and room service or a private chef a phone call away, you need never lift a finger. For a change of scenery, chill beside the upper infinity pool or lunch and nap at the beachfront pool and restaurant before your afternoon massage on the beach. If you prefer cooking, you will LOVE the gorgeous new solid wood and quartz kitchen, and dining under the stars on the expansive patio, listening to the waves washing up on the shore below.

The on-site restaurant, Maracuya Beach Club, is set on the beach beside one of the resort’s two infinity pools. Offering local and North American cuisine, along with a full bar service, Maracuya has been the recipient of many awards for culinary and mixology excellence. As well as poolside dining, they offer meal delivery to your villa, weekly live music, mixology classes, and even cooking classes in right in your kitchen.

VENTURING OUT

On the days you want adventure, the area offers all the eco-tourism options Costa Rica is famous for. Experience endless fun and adrenalin — from sport fishing to ziplining, from wildlife tours to scuba diving, river cruises, coffee plantation tours, and visits to local artisan communities. Local operators offer pickup from the villa, or from the beach if you are heading out on the water. Activities and tours can be booked through the on-site concierge.

The lively village of Playas del Coco is 3 miles from the resort, offering plenty of options for groceries and local crafts, along with many wonderful restaurants and bars. Out favorites are listed in the information binder you’ll find in the villa.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of the helpful staff at this villa. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Bahia Pez Vela Beach. You'll find features like an outdoor pool, breakfast (surcharge), and concierge services. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the villa.

This is a beautiful home in a very tranquil location on a hillside with beautiful views. Our host Roxy is very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions or requests. She truly wants you to have a wonderful Costa Rico experience. I truly recommend and look forward to returning. If you won’t have a car, I recounting a golf cart to move around the resort and go into town. We had both but frankly the golf cart was much more fun!

A slice of paradise

Our family of four had the most wonderful stay in this villa. It was impeccably clean and well-appointed. The resort was absolutely wonderful. The beach was private and the views were incredible. We have already recommended Bahia Pez Vela to several friends who want to visit CR and have more space than a hotel room but with the resort amenities.

Beautiful home in a great location

We are a family of 6 adults who have been planning a trip to Costa Rica for years. This home in Bahia Pez Vela was the perfect location for our stay. There are so many places to explore within a 2 hour radius. Roxi is a very responsive host. I highly recommend!

Everything about our stay was amazing! The views incredible, our host, Roxi, accessible and communicative, the concierge, Eddie, very helpful for information and booking excursions, the restaurant food delicious, pools beautiful and relaxing, and beach stunning and felt private!We loved relaxing on the balcony enjoying the view, watching the active colorful birds and listening to the howler monkeys. The gourmet kitchen made preparing meals in the villa a delight! We were very comfortable (2 couples and 3 teens) with the bedroom and bathroom accommodations. Everything was clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The hill for accessing lower pool, restaurant and beach was a slow climb for some of us, but we were prepared from reading previous reviews and drove if we didn’t feel like making the climb. However, since we were never in a hurry we mostly enjoyed the walking. The upper pool was very close and had great view as well. Usually we were the only people there. We would absolutely return given the opportunity! Thank you Roxi and Bahia Pez Vela staff!

Just what we needed!

So enjoyed our stay here. The house was perfect for what we needed and Roxi was very helpful and informative when needed. The walk down and back up from the beach was a great workout, if we stayed longer we’d be in excellent shape. 😊 Totally loved the privacy of the house, the help from Cesar et al., the good eating at the restaurant and the smaller beach.

Private neighborhood with secluded beach

The property and villa was beautiful. Quite property. The villa was updated and spacious with beautiful views. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Ourdoor patio and balcony had comfortable furniture to enjoy the scenery/nature. One of our favorite memories was getting madsages on our balcony during sunset. Easy booking through the resort for all activities and massages. The secluded beach has beautiful black sand and we got to see howler monkeys while we were enjoying a day on the beach.

Gorgeous gardens and monkeys visited our patio in the trees just outside. Lots of delicious restaurants nearby and the resort restaurant was great as well. Resort was very private and staff were so friendly. Communication with Roxi was easy and helpful. Sad to be leaving this special spot! Thank you, Roxi!!!

Amazing stay!

This was our 2nd time at this small but upscale resort, this time in a different villa. This villa was fantastic, amazing views, and had everything we needed for a great stay. The owner is helpful and available, and the resort staff are too. The restaurant, pool and beach are wonderful. It is a short invigorating walk from the beach to the villa - well worth it for the amazing views from the decks. The upstairs deck was as comfortable and inviting as the main floor terrace - all with great views of the hillsides, water and if you’re an early riser, birds! I enthusiastically recommend this rental!

Family Vacation with young adult children (18; 20 and 24)

We loved our time at this villa in Costa Rica! The villa has amazing views, comfortable beds and an amazing kitchen. The resort is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The owner provided detailed information that we needed and checked in on us after our arrival to see if we needed anything. The resort arranged transportation to and from the airport, our car rental and our excursions. The staff (especially Sebastian) at the beach club were all kind and helpful. We all loved this vacation.

Paradise

This is our second trip to Costa Rica, our first trip to Bahia Pez Vela. The home itself was beautiful, well stocked, and immaculate, as well as the grounds. The view was incredible. It was a bit of a hike to get back from the beach or Soluna, but well worth it. The staff and Roxi were very attentive and we encountered zero issues during our stay. The availability of excursions and quality of tours were perfect for our family with teens. I highly recommend this property!

Costa Rican Paradise

We can't say enough good things about this property. Our Villa was gorgeous, immaculate inside, landscaping was beautiful, and everything worked as is it should. The views, especially the sunset, were stunning. This Villa, as all of the Villas are in this resort, are separate/stand alone units, this provides for privacy and peace and quiet. The resort staff are all very friendly. The two resort concierge staff we dealt with, Cesar and Abigail are two of the nicest, most helpful folks you will come across.

Million dollar view

It was an exceptional place. Not if you re not a fan of hills then you won’t like the amazing perch this property has. Important thing we learned is there is an infinity pool just 3 minute walk up the road and it was quiet and outstanding. If being on a beach is vital, then this isnt it. But for us, it was exceptional.

Wonderful visit to Bahia Pez Vela resort

Villa 29 is perfect. Very clean and spacious, and of course the wonderful view of the ocean from the expansive patio where we spent most of our time outside. Good idea to have a vehicle to get around and to the market, as well as some trips up and down the steep driveway to the beach when you don’t have the energy to walk it. We enjoyed a catamaran cruise and snorkeling one afternoon. Another morning we had a fishing charter leave right from our beach. Lucky enough to catch a Mahi Mahi, which the chef expertly prepared for us at the restaurant that evening. All the staff at the resort were great including the concierge managers, Cesar and Jacky. All considered, a very fun trip …. a little bit of an adventure in beautiful Costa Rica.
