Beachfront, Private Pool, Pure Luxury at Bahia Pez Vela, Villa Las Olas #4

BEACHFRONT. PRIVATE JETTED INFINITY POOL..

FREE FIBER-OPTIC WIFI.

NEWLY REMODELED KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS!

BAHIA PEZ VELA RESORT AMENITIES

THREE BEDROOM, THREE BATHROOM HOME

The ocean is a mere 30 strides away from Villa Las Olas, and the views of the sea and the Gulf of Papagayo from our patio and pool are worthy of a travel magazine! Bahia Pez Vela, a community of only 40 privately-owned homes, is the only development on this secluded and beautiful Blue Flag beach, and uniquely imparts a sense of unmatched exclusivity and luxury.

The large private jetted infinity pool and beachfront location make Villa Las Olas the premier home in the community. The pool shines at night. Mesmerizing lights dance off the fountain and the swaying palms above and night sounds of the adjacent forest lull as the jets swirl luxuriously warm waters around tired bodies.

The pool area is the work of Costa Rican architect Juan Roca and was featured in Su Casa architecture magazine. The Italian tumbled travertine stone and a sleek teak deck are paired with Costa Rican-made Castelle outdoor lounges, dining, and deep-seating conversation pieces.

Our home provides ample room for up to six adults and two children, but is still intimate enough for traveling twosomes. Two of the three generously sized bedrooms are ocean-front, which makes the set-up ideal for two couples or families. The third bedroom can be set up with a King or two Twin beds.

The newly-remodeled and fully-equipped kitchen provide options for home-cooked meals or in-home chef services, The full-size washer and dryer are convenient for those who travel light. Three light-filled bathrooms are newly remodeled with high-end finishes. All furnishings are fresh and tropical, but also practical and child-worthy. Kitchen, bedroom and bath linens are provided, as well as pool towels.

Our home is air-conditioned with individual controls in each bedroom. Some like it cool, while others prefer an overhead fan and an open window to enjoy the pleasant ocean breezes and sounds.

The beach is alive with a seasonally-changing array of inhabitants. Breeching whales, hatching baby turtles, skipping dolphins, hermit crabs, and magical tide pool critters are all here. So are parakeets, tiger herons, blue-green mot mots, and howler monkeys, all of which are most active and morning coffee and evening cocktail times.

The Bahia Pez Vela Resort community provides a full array of concierge, business, maid, maintenance, and gardening services, as well as 24/7 security. Cesar and Jacky are available to help you make arrangements for your Costa Rican adventures. Ziplining, hot springs, wildlife tours and cloud forest visits are popular, but don’t forget the cooking schools, horseback rides, paddle-boarding and poolside massages!

The property offers an on-site open air restaurant that provides breakfast, lunch and dinner service.

If yours is a working vacation, fiber-optic high-speed WiFi is available throughout our home and on the outdoor patio. Cellular service is strong, and Skype, WhatsApp and FaceTime work exceptionally well. Basic office services are available from our Reception Office team. And if you need access to North American television, the living room has an enhanced HD cable TV service which brings in North American cable media outlets.

Fantastic Location, Perfect Place for a Family

This place was fantastic for a family with school age kids! It was well-equipped with all supplies, comfortable with furniture and very effective air conditioning, and had a pool that exceeded expectations. The location, with the ability to walk right out the backyard to the beach, was unbeatable. The resort location is not too far from the airport but feels remote; the restaurant is delicious with wonderful service. We had such a great time that we will certainly return!

First class accommodations

This property is first class. It’s even better than the listing indicates. It’s situated within the resort so that it only has one neighbor to the right and wilderness to the left. Only spot in the whole complex with a private pool. Walk to the beach barely qualifies as a walk, it’s more like a step-out. Clean, comfortable, and has everything in it to make it your home for a while. It’s not for budget travelers, that’s for sure. The restaurant there is pretty pricey but delicious. We cooked a lot. But if you want the best spot, it’s worth the money. We saw monkeys, iguanas, and wild birds. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Excellent Beach Location

We have been traveling to Costa Rica many times but this was our first stay at this villa. It's a little out of the way from Playa de Coco which is why we chose it. It was part of a property that had 40 villas up the hillside with this one being right on the beach. The villa was wonderful and just as pictured and described. The host was very responsive and helped us get the grill going the first day. The kitchen is very nicely stocked and we cooked out every night, they even had a spice rack which was a present surprise and helpful. The on-property restaurant is high quality and we ate there the first night. Having a private pool was perfect with lots of local wildlife to watch and enjoy. We were only steps from the beach and took advantage of swimming in the ocean and using some of the provided toys. All in all, a perfect week's stay.

This is our second stay in LaRaye's beautiful home, and each time is such a blessing. The property is beautiful, and everyone that works in the resort is so friendly. LaRaye is a joy to communicate with, she is efficient and kind. We love having the pool at the house and watching the numerous birds come drink from it. Nice and close to the beach and restaurant. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the beautiful country of Costa Rica!

An amazing experience!

Villa 4 at Bahia Pez Vela was such a gem! The house and amenities were perfect and just as described. The private pool is bigger than I imagined and so perfect after having been at the beach all day. The jets were a game changer! The kitchen is huge with everything you could need and the washer/dryer came in handy as well. Once booked, LaRaye sent very detailed notes regarding the property and extremely useful tips and recommendations. Caesar at the property was very accommodating and helpful with booking transfers and activities. Second time coming to Costa Rica and I will definitely be back to this villa! LOVED it!

Paradise!

We loved everything about this place. Not only was it situated in the middle of paradise (literally), but it was also on the perfect lot at the end of the street, the pool was luxurious, and the inside was clean, well-equipped, and very very comfortable. We wanted for nothing because it was well stocked. The only thing we missed was a pizza cutter! But the knives worked great. Awesome place - we really do hope to be back again someday very soon. It was paradise!

Stunning setting in an amazing villa

LaRaye was very nice and responsive to our questions and suggestions. Her villa was beautiful and the setting being right on the beach was perfect along with our own private pool. Loved it! Cesar was so helpful with making accommodations for transportation shuttles, car rental, excursions recommendations. He was a pleasure to work with. LaRaye recommended Betty for massages which Cesar arranged once again. Betty gave us the best massage in our villa. The resort staff was very attentive and so friendly too! Father Rooster is a must too for dinner. We did the Heliconias, Guacheplin Full Adventure and Sailing/Snorkeling excursions were a must! The tour guides were amazing especially Daniel. Thank you so much for everything! We loved Costa Rica. Pura Vida! Denise Z

Wonderful townhouse with gorgeous setting. Ocean views, private pool, fairly close to town. Stock up on groceries cuz the kitchen is great and the on-site restaurant is pretty spendy. Be sure to get massage and go on tours recommended by reception area. We had a car and liked going to Coco Beach. The catamaran tour was great. Rainforest tour was a show stopper. Will be back.

The beach location is very Costa Rica

We loved the beach and pool. The villa is very spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The views are beautiful and the water was so warm. The patio couches and inside couches are worn but we did not mind. Kitchen is updated. Floats and snorkel masks would have been a great addition. Cesar and Jacky are the best at helping with your visit. The restaurant food was very good but for every visit allow an hour plus to receive food. Drinks were good and staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, we chose to skip eating there at the end due to the long wait after ordering. The grounds are pristine and very clean. We would highly recommend our villa and this location. Be prepared for bumpy roads and you will need to arrange drivers for transportationWe did not get a car and loved having transportation set up by Cesar or Jacky. The beach is public but not very crowded due to location .Our personal pool was worth it, truly pure vida!

Paradise

The house is everything promised to be. As part of a resort there is easy access to amenities such as a top notch restaurant and bar. The staff arranged for us to go kayaking along the coast which added to the glory of the beach, sun, ocean and pools. The location is both remote yet close enough to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended! Our host was very attentive to our needs. Finally villa 4 has its own small pool which is a bonus and it’s is right on the beach and n ar bar/restaurant. View and ocean sounds spectacular.

Beautiful Villa - Wonderful Vacation

My family of four (w/ 7yr old and 9yr old) thoroughly enjoyed our 12 day trip. The villa was as described. In fact, the photos don't do it justice. The beach is right there which provides an unobstructed view and easy access. The villa was clean and comfortable. It has everything we needed including modern appliances like the dishwasher and washer/dryer. Bedrooms are a nice size, plenty of closet space, and comfy beds. Two of the three bedrooms provide breathtaking views of the pool and beach. The master has a deck and bathroom. The pool was great. Nice temperature and regularly cleaned during our stay. Pool depth ranged from 3-5ft. Pool lounge chairs and a few pool toys were provided. You may want to bring/purchase more toys for the kids to keep them entertained. So many animals around the villa to admire - including mapaches, howler monkeys, lizards, iguanas, all types of birds. We had regular visitors during our stay. Our kids even named them! 15 mins from Coco. Definitely recommend renting a car to get around. You can't walk. But beware of some challenging terrain, especially approching the terrain. The mosquitoes and ants were pests but that was expected. Everyone we met at the resort were wonderful. Cesar and Jacky were great to deal with. They were very responsive but not overbearing. They helped with our rental car, answered any questions we had during the stay, and booked our excursions. Great trip!

Excellent week in Villa 4

All of the reviews are spot on. Perfect for our family of 4, but can surely accommodate more. We were the envy of our neighbors with the private, infinity pool. Being able to snorkel at the beach 50 ft from the home then come back and relax in the pool was the perfect combination. Inside and out, Villa 4 was everything we needed. LaRaye was so quick to respond to every question and the check in/check out process was seamless. The property is great because it has the restaurant within a 30 second walk and is so close to ocotel and coco beach. You can even take the short cut to ocotel during low ride across the rocks. We found the best snorkeling at this beach. It was like being in an aquarium. Great location, great property, and an ideal setting. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by LaRaye

Host profile image
We hail from Minnesota and visited the Bahia Pez Resort community with our children every year since 2003. In 2012 we bought our Costa Rican' home and sincerely hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose our home for its beach front location, private pool, and edge of the forest setting. It is a uniquely serene and private setting, with magazine-worthy views of the ocean in front and a forested area full of birds and monkeys on the side. We also loved the beautifully designed pool and patio area, which not only gives respite from the day's heat, but also offers soothing jets to work sore muscles after a day of snorkeling, paddle boarding, or hiking. It is rare that you find a community of privately-owned homes like Bahia Pez Vela with full resort services, including concierge services, maid service, security service, and an on-site restaurant. And while Bahia Pez Vela feels very private and secluded, it is only three miles away from the many restaurants, conveniences and services of the lively beach town known as Coco.

What makes this property unique

We seek to provide exemplary service to our friends and guests. This includes prompt replies to all of your questions, a comprehensive "help" document for planning your stay, and providing all of the comforts of home because this is our home, not just a rental property. Bahia Pez Vela Resort community staff, from the property manager, to the reception office, security guards, gardeners, maids, and maintenance staff, will make you feel like family and do their utmost to assure that your Bahia Pez Vela experience exceeds expectations.
