About this property

Relaxing Carrillo Bay-Walk to Beach, Restaurants, 3-7 bdrms great for families.

Welcome to Ventana Del Mar! For those of you looking for a true Costa Rican experience without the hustle of vacation resorts and tourist traps, you’ve found the right place. This unique custom home is nestled in the trees resting above Carrillo Bay. The open air design brings cool ocean breezes and plenty of sunlight. All of the bedrooms are fully appointed with air conditioning units and ceiling fans. There is a gated entry and parking for up to 5 cars for your convenience as well.

Our home is centrally located in the small fishing town of Puerto Carrillo. It is walking distance to the local tiendas (groceries), restaurants, pizzerias, cafés Ko, and of course THE beautiful beach. Carrillo Beach was rated among the top 25 hideaway beaches in the world in Travel and Leisure magazine. Samara is the next beach town 10 minutes away and provides more shopping, restaurants, surfing and adventure tours. Playa Carrillo is one of the most desirable beaches in Costa Rica. This 2-mile long white sand beach is lined with palm trees that provide plenty of shade. And, is void of commercial development. No bars, no hotels, no restaurants, just like its supposed to be with a few locals selling coconut milk or a push cart with sno-cones. Many mornings you can walk the entire beach and see only a handful of people. Carrillo’s horseshoe bay is protected from the rolling Pacific waves by a coral reef which is available for snorkeling at low tide. The waves are usually very playful with no undertow, making it perfect for all ages. Surfers looking for bigger waves can go to Camaronal, the next beach south. Returning from the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax in our private infinity pool. The pool includes a swim up palapa bar with a mini-fridge for drinks and a gas barbeque grill. There is also a cool water Jacuzzi and a waterslide for kids of ALL ages.

The main house offers an open air environment in the Great Room and Dining area and a large, fully equipped kitchen with pass-through breakfast bar. It has 3 bedrooms and three baths that sleep up to 8 people, and for larger parties there are two adjoining 2 bedroom apartments complete with baths and full kitchens for an additional cost.
On site property managers, David and Lesdy will the there to help. Additionally they own Samara Adventures and can provide airport shuttle transportation as well as arrange various sea and land excursions. As you can read in the reviews of our house, they will enhance your experience in every way. Convenience is key when planning an exciting vacation.

Getting to this pristine location is surprisingly easy. If you fly into Liberia International Airport, you can rent a car or charter a Samara Adventures van to take you 2 hour drive. The road is paved the entire way to the house, which is quite a luxury for Costa Rica. If you are flying into San Jose, the drive is usually just under 4 hours. Flying from San Jose is 35 minutes on the local commuter airline, Sansa, which lands at an airstrip in nearby Islita approximately 35-40 minutes away.

Please indicate if you are interested in the house, the apartments or both. Considerations may be made for groups of larger than 14 on an individual basis.

And remember...Pura Vida!

A Great House for a Group
We stayed at David’s house a few years ago and loved it then; we still do. The house is well designed and the rooms are spacious, including the bedrooms. The pool is, as one of our party said “the best in the universe”. The house is well situated near grocery stores, restaurants, beautiful Carrillo beach and there are bus stops handy for travel to nearby towns. Lesdy and David responded quickly to every issue or inquiry and helped arrange various excursions for us. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Family Vacation
This was the perfect vacation house for our family of ten. We spent many happy hours in the spectacular pool. David and his staff were friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The location was ideal and within walking distance to the beautiful beach, restaurants, and grocery stores. We would recommend this vacation house to everyone!

You did not disappoint!
For our group, the house was perfect. We had a family of 4, two being less than 5. Two other couples, and 1 single in his 20s. This house had everything we needed. The owner was there with supplies when needed, and helped with all our excursions. We had a cook come one night which was delicious! The restaurant across the street was fantastic, and 2 close stores to shop. Yes, the walk to the beach is steep, but doable!! Thank you David for helping make this trip one of the best we have had to CR!!

Casa Ventana
Me and my fiancé stayed in this home for a month. We had the main home and the adjacent apartment as we had family and friends visit the entire time. As would any large home, it had its issues over the month, but David (property owner), lived right next door and would have it fixed within the hour. The quaint town of Puerto de Carrillo has everything you need within just a walk (grocery store is a 2 min walk, 8+ restaurants within a 5-8 min walk, beach within an 8 min walk) Amazing food and wonderful people on every corner. Wildlife was plentiful but not intrusive and very safe. By far what made this trip the life changing experience it was, was David and his family business. The own a shuttle company that can pick you up from any airport and shuttles to help get you around town if need be. They also broker and manage every excursion you could possibly want to do and David is simply a text message away. I've never had a more seamless experience while traveling and we'll miss this place dearly and hope to return in the future!!

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
Our home is the culmination of a dream of three families in Boulder, Colorado that wanted a safe, serene yet adventurous tropical home to take our kids for some quality family time. Convenience to beach, shopping, restaurants and activities was important, as well as, our privacy from corporate development and resorts. We think we achieved that here at Ventana Del Mar.

Why they chose this property

We took several years before choosing Carrillo as a location to build our vacation home. We flew the whole western coast of CR looking for a protected bay without commercial development.
Additionally we wanted the convenience to WALK everywhere. To restaurants, groceries, beaches, etc. A car is nice, but not necessary. Fishing is usually fantastic. We've regularly caught Mahi Mahi, Yellow Fin Tuna, Sailfish and Marlin. Snapper and Snook on shore.

What makes this property unique

Howler Monkeys are always an entertainment early in the morning (6 a.m.)Geckos and Iguanas are always around for amusement. Luis Angel will bring the horses right to the door if you want to do some riding. Boogie boarding at sunset is a great way to finish the day, then bocas and tragos (tapas & drinks) by the pool. Relax and enjoy!
