About this property

PRIVATE POOL + FULL OCEAN VIEWS + BEAUTIFUL BEACH

Bright and cheery 2100 sq. ft. detached home with private pool--direct beach access.

Villa Gecko is located on the LOWER half of Bahia Pez Vela, a minute walk to the beach. Prime location, which offers privacy for the pool and deck area, with wonderful ocean views.

Bahia Pez Vela is located a few minutes drive from Coco, a lively beach town full of restaurants, shopping, tour providers and more, but Pez Vela is loved for its mellow, friendly location.

Whether you are looking for a vacation packed with the one of a kind eco-adventure only available in Costa Rica or simply want to relax in your private pool and on the quiet black sand beach, Villa Gecko is the place for you.

Enjoy beautiful views of the beach, Pacific Ocean, Monkey's Head and Witch's Rock. Villa Gecko is a quick one-minute walk to a tranquil beach that offers great snorkeling, soft ebony sand and even extensive tide pool exploration. If you are lucky, you may even spot turtles!

The Costa Rican-style villa is casual, well-equipped, boasts a beautiful custom-tiled pool, seating in the sun + shade--all this at just a one-minute walk to the beach and resort restaurant/pools. Our guests enjoy the privacy our villa offers, while a perfect distance away from the lively restaurant, main resort pools and beach.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast next to your private pool and spend the evening stargazing from your private balcony or large patio.

The onsite restaurant, Maracuya Restaurant and Beach Club (seasonal), offers local and North American specialties--along with a full bar service--in a low-key environment. They offer open air dining at tables or next to the pool. Stretch out on a lounge chair, enjoy the view and enjoy a wonderful passion fruit smoothie--Pura Vida! They can also deliver to your villa and offer classes, weekly live music and more.

The tourist village of Coco Beach, a short 10-minute drive away, hosts a variety of restaurants and nightlife, banks, shopping, tours, etc.

The villa is set up to make your stay pleasant--a private pool in a spacious patio area, a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, all linens, wooden lounge chairs and patio furniture, storage space/uncluttered closets with hangars, FREE WIRELESS INTERNET, games, books and more.

Costa Rican Getaway

This was our 5th trip to Costa Rica but our 1st stay in this area. We thoroughly enjoyed our month at this villa and the entire Bahia Pez Vela Resort. Our villa was exactly as advertised and the minor issues that did arise were quickly addressed by the owner and the resort office and staff. The check in process with Caesar and Jacki was very easy and welcoming, they were very helpful during our stay. All the details of our booking were accurate and taken care of. Our villa was very clean and had all that we expected and needed for our stay including a great gas bbq. The pool at our villa was excellent and cleaned on a very regular basis by pool staff. Howler monkeys were heard and seen most days. The grounds of the resort are stunning and well taken care of. The beach is a very secluded cove with great swimming and snorkelling. We saw many tour operators pick up their guests right at the beach. The common pools are fantastic and easily accessible. The restaurant poolside at the beach, Soluna, had fantastic food and is a great option. Drinks were a bit pricey but very good. Staff at the restaurant were super friendly like all the staff at the resort. It is a 5 or 7 minute drive to Ocotal Bay (Father Roosters) and another 7 minutes into Coco for more great restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Bahia Pez Vela is at the end of the road which allows it to be extremely quiet, secure and private. We certainly hope to return.

Nice

We had a nice time staying here. The pool is great and the space is really nice. The on site restaurant is really tasty but a bit over the top when you just want a light bite. Definetly go through everything and let the owner know if anything is broken beforehand or they will immediately run it through your insurance. Which is good I guess that they require it. However, when they did make item claims on my behalf that were definitely broken before and I wrote them about it they were very quick to reply and remove the charges.

Exceptional property

To summarize, there is absolutely no reason not to stay at this property. You will love it. Some details - pool is very nice, cleaned often and great temperature. Many towels provided. Kitchen has every device imaginable and good dishes and glassware. BBQ works fine. Beds are firm, but very comfortable. Good AC. Note that if you don't close the glass sliders at night, the raccoons can and will open the screen sliders and steal any food left out. TV app can be changed to English, and includes HBO, Prime, Netflix and others. We watched USA sports on ESPN channels. Only USA major network is ABC. Bathrooms conveniently located and well designed. Resort staff very friendly and helpful, restaurant and bar are wonderful. Reception office has snorkel gear to rent. Our use was limited due to rough surf. It's not really a secluded cove, it's pretty open. Beach is soft and nice, but be sure to be diligent in removing all black sand before returning to house. Roads require some careful driving, due to lots of walkers and bikes. But not really scary and speeds are slow. Note that Google maps shows road past Roosters going clear to Bahia. It does not, it's blocked. Stay to left after Ocotal Gatehouse. Only recommendation is to add handrail next to steps into pool. Otherwise this place is pretty perfect, and a great value. Again, just loved it.

What a Fabulous Experience !

This Villa, #23 named "Grecko Villa", surpassed our expectations in every way. The actual building and pool are even nicer than they appear in the site photos. The renovated kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and with the new island, there was lots of room for 4 adults and 2 teenagers to all participate in the food preparation and cleanup. The 3 bathrooms were really appreciated. The beds and bedding were comfortable; there were lots of towels even with 6 people swimming in the private pool and on the private beach. Also washer & dryer to keep them fresh. The beach had the best snorkelling we found on the Pacific coast beaches. The Maracuya Restaurant in the complex is one of the top restaurants in the area; we had several dinners there & everyone was pleased each time. The guard house does a terrific job of keeping the complex secure & the office staff where always there when they are scheduled to be there & quick to help with supplies or excursion suggestions. Even after 10 nights all together we hated to leave. If you are looking around for a place to stay and this one is available, grab it while you can!!

Villa Gecko stay

This house worked very well for the two of us plus our daughter's family with two younger teen boys. The kitchen was fully equipped but lacked storage for non perishable groceries. The pool and grounds were very well maintained. It was nice having easy access to the beach, resort pool and the great restaurant, Maracuya!
