About this property

Pedacito De Cielo, a Beachfront slice of heaven!

Enjoy this gorgeous tropical BEACHFRONT villa with a private pool. This two bedroom, two bathroom home is literally on the sand. Enjoy the sound of waves and watch magnificent sunsets in this peaceful and secluded retreat.

Make sure to also check out our other listings and their reviews. Vrbo #478339, #1502027, #1631038.

If you are looking to spend a few days (or more) away on the beach, enjoying nature, look no further. The house is only one of a handful located on this mile-long section of the 4 kilometer beach. Playa Junquillal is known as a nesting site for the endangered leather back turtles. An estuary, on the other side of the road, is full of wildlife and is ideal for kayaking or paddle boarding.

Enjoy morning walks on the beach, or just relax by the pool. The house has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. It is perfect for couples, a single family, or two families with small kids. We offer two additional futons for extra sleeping, one in the second bedroom and one in the tv room. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to prepare a romantic dinner or a family meal. Or, if you prefer, we can arrange to have someone cook for you!

The outdoor space is the highlight of the house. It has a large, spanning porch which includes a grand dining table on one end and a relaxing sitting area on the other. A perfect place to read a book, oversee the pool and flower gardens, or watch the spectacular sunsets. There is also a beautiful rancho with a comfortable sitting area , a gas grill, and a hammock.

Situated in a lovely, private setting, this villa is within a short drive of many 5-star restaurants that offer a large variety of delicious dining options. Also worth noting, it is only a half-hour drive from the lively tourist town of Tamarindo, which offers even more delicious restaurants as well as breweries, shops, activities, surfing and much more. It is also only a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from the airport in Liberia.

Exceeds expectations

This is more beautiful than listing can even convey. It's remote and quiet but still easy to get to and driving around is easy. Many reviews mentioned the size of the kitchen but that's no surprise based on photos and the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms are worth the sacrifice of cooking space, there is plenty of room to get a meal ready and the outdoor dinning space is fabulous. As someone very afraid of creepy crawlers, I expected the creatures to be more of an issue in the evening but didn't notice anything. The property is gated and the ability to transition between the beach and the pool with young kids was amazing. Sitting by the pool to read a book was also so relaxing. The beach is quiet and so nice to spend the day at or go for an early morning walk/run and the sunset is like a postcard. Definitely eat at some of the local restaurants, Lochitos and La Ventana del Surfista were two close restaurants I wish we had more time to eat at again. Property management was so helpful and responsive from planning our trip to the time we left the property. Lastly, driving into Tamarindo and Avellanas for some activities was an easy 20-30 minute drive, most roads are dirt roads but not narrow or difficult to navigate. It's been wonderful and I hope to be back!

Relaxing beach in paradise!

The house and property were as described and shown, and the pool was bigger than anticipated! Although the beach is hidden from view from the house (due to the dune elevation), it is only a few steps from the property gate. Spent a great deal of time in the ocean (swimming and boogie boarding) and walking the beach to the estuary and the tide pools. Had to be respectful of the tides and rip currents at the beach. Sunsets on the beach were amazing! Neighbors were very helpful and friendly. Communication with the property managers was flawless and greatly appreciated! Used the charcoal grill a few nights and ate out at local establishments...Rest. Latinos is a must for the patacones! Even during Semana Santa (Holy Week), the beach remained very private with little use from the general public. Definitely enjoyed our 10 days here!

beautiful seclusion in paradise

The place was as advertised: comfortable with a beautiful pool area and a secluded beach just beyond the property. It was secure and the sunsets each night were absolutely stunning. I didn't want to leave. There were some nice restaurants nearby too.

Remote slice of heaven

Great property - stunning sunsets, secluded beach, nice amenities. There are some less exciting realities like limited groceries/stores nearby, unexpected encounters with wildlife in and around the house and some local roads that are not in the best condition for driving. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

A real slice of heaven on earth

My husband and I love privacy, and this was perfect! The home is so clean and filled with tranditional Costa Rican wood furniture and comfortable beds. Great water pressure in the lovely showers and the pool is to die for. If that isn't enough, you have you're own access to a private beach with fantastic waves for surfing! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Beach Home

We really enjoyed our stay at Pedacito de Cielo! The beach was beautiful and quiet, and we also loved having a pool to swim in. The house had everything we needed, and the property manager responded quickly to questions we had. We definitely recommend this place if you're looking for peace and quiet on the Pacific.

Rare paradise

The house is right on the beach, you can hear the waves, and is very unpopulated. We had the ENTIRE, from end to end, beach to ourselves the first sunset. Great waves for body surfing. Was a little smaller than we expected but that was not an issue for us as a couple. We’ll bring our kids next time!

Some Good Some Not

It was hard to find and road was very rough. Had trouble getting in touch with property manager and getting home address. The house us beautiful but the kitchen is about 6 ft x 8 ft. The only dining area is outside with the goats and chickens. The pool and beach are fantastic. Should have gotten supplies before getting to the property. There are not any grocery stores or dining places near.

Great House

The house was in a nice quiet location away from big tourist cities. Almost no one on the beach. Very close to where they release the turtles when they hatch. So no need to pay for that tour. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. The bedrooms were very large compared to the photos. The pool was excellent too. I definitely will stay here again.

Private location right on the beach with a pool

We loved this location. It was such a local experience right on the beach. The house was perfect for our family of 3, and we cooked and ate most of our meals there. We were able to navigate with google maps, and the recommendations from the host were fantastic! They were all spot on -from renting a 4WD to the local restaurants and attractions!

A great Costa Rica getaway

we loved our stay here. the communication from the property manager was so amazing- they even arranged to have the house stocked with groceries for us on the day of arrival for a tiny fee! the location cannot be beat- literally on the beach overlooking the Pacific- we walked on the beach multiple times a day. Interior is a bit dated but we were so thrilled with the outdoor space we didn't mind :)

Great private beach house

We stayed here for only 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. The house was nicely spaced out to give our family lots of room. The pool was nice for the kids when we didn't want to be down in the ocean every minute of the day. The beach was breath taking. We felt like we had the whole beach to ourself, barely seeing anyone. We walked a long distance to the more 'main'beach area in Junquillal. Its was so peaceful and amazing to walk along watching the massive waves crashing down. The only warning, is I wouldn't take any inexperienced swimmers to this area. Our children are older and very good swimmers and my husband was in the water with them the whole time keeping them in the swallow. They LOVED riding the epic pacific ocean waves!!

A Little Slice of Heaven - Great House

The house is on the beach and beautiful. The pool is wonderful and the ocean is only 30 yards away. YOU WILL NEED A CAR! There is nothing within easy walking distance and the roads are awful. There is a nearby mercado and a few restaurants, yet at least one mile away. Tamarindo is about 30 minutes away by car. The countryside is lovely and the people are quite friendly. The beach is awesome, with black sand and volcanic rock formations. Georgina was great to work with and quite helpful. The house is fenced in and gated - very secure, and the price to pay for that is heavy duty locks. We were visited by goats and chickens daily.
