These beaches may too rugged for swimming but they are an amazing place to spread out a towel and relax, collect shells, and take in the surrounding serene beauty.

Villa Amore is only a 5 minute drive from beautiful Playa Carrillo. In March 2013, Travel and Leisure Magazine featured it in the Top 25 secret beaches in the world. The magazine describes it as a white-sand beach framed by mountains and just off a boulevard lined by palm trees. It is safe to swim, surf or just lounge under the palm trees and try out a fresh coconut water or a flavored shaved ice, from one of the local vendors . It is perfect for an early morning walk along this 2 km beach and top if off with a relaxing massage from a local beach vendor or you can enjoy a beautiful sunset at the end of the day. The beach is protected by rocky headlands and provides calm, warm water for all swimmers.

Alex, the villa caretaker, was the best part of this stay. He made us feel so welcome, made amazing food, and even helped us change our flat tire the day we arrived!
We traveled as a multi-generational family, and this beautiful home was the perfect place to gather and make special memories together. The views were absolutely stunning, and we loved the thoughtful layout that gave everyone space while keeping us connected.Every excursion was so much fun and the concierge, Christopher, was phenomenal to work with, helping us plan everything with ease! Alex and Jenny were truly a gift. They were always ready to help and prepared delicious meals that our whole family enjoyed. We are so grateful for their hospitality and left with full hearts and wonderful memories.
We had an amazing trip. It felt like a once in a lifetime vacation. The villa was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. Everything was very clean and Alex and Jenny were great! We took advantage of meals being prepared every day and it was so nice to sit around the table with the beautiful backdrop and wonderful food. All of us, ages 5 to 75 enjoyed the pool daily.
Our stay at Villa Amore was fabulous! The house was beautiful, the pool spectacular, and the view of the ocean divine. Laura was so easy to work with and answered all of my many questions in a very timely manner. The house was stocked with all the essentials that saved us when packing for our trip - soap, shampoo, lotion, beach towels, etc. The beds were very comfortable making for a great nights sleep after spending the day exploring. Alix and Jenny were great! They prepared delicious meals that we enjoyed on the outdoor patio dining area, with an ocean view, every day. The concierge service with Christopher and Brenda was so helpful. We could have never planned all the fun activities on our own. They were extra accommodating to us, as we have many changes to our itinerary along the way.I would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone traveling to Costa Rica. You won't be disappointed!
Great time with family . Alex and Jennifer were the best. Prepared great meals. Very friendly and lots of laughs. Stayed in the pool most of the time. Great house for families
Amazing house with great staff and perfect location
This place is amazing. I highly recommend. The location is great with tons of activities to do around it. Beaches are stunning and the view from the house is unprecedented.The staff at the house were extremely hepful and cooked some amazing food.
We recently stayed at Villa Amore as a family of 11. The home was WONDERFUL with amazing views of the ocean, a magnificent pool and fantastic accommodations. Alex and Jenny made wonderful meals night and morning. We never had a bad meal made by them. Thank you for a truly memorable stay!
Wonderful place! our 3rd time back and we love Alex and Jenny as they make it worth it! our kids love speaking to them in Spanish, and the meals Alex/Jenny make are phenomenal. lovely home and ideal location!

Third time’s a charm! We are very pleased to have you and your family back. We hope our home is starting to feel “like home” to you! Thanks again,
Laura
This is a beautiful location and gorgeous home. Alex and Jenny as in home cooks and vacation friends are an amazing addition. 10 members of our family enjoyed this stay and the fabulous meals they prepared. The presentation....table cloth, cloth napkins was so lovely. The view is incredible and the kids (and adults) had so much fun in the pool. Alex was very helpful getting us booked with an inshore fishing trip and surf lessons. His recommendations helped make this part of our trip memorable. Great location close to two beautiful beaches Playa Carrillo and Samara. We saw whales, monkeys and birds from the balcony. Definitely a piece of paradise. Laura is easy to communicate with while you are working on the booking process and beyond!! We had a great experience there and honestly, we didn't want to leave.
As other reviewers have noted, this property is gorgeous, but what pales in comparison to even the view and infinity pool is alex and jenny, their kindness, yummy cooking, and help makes the property 10/5 stars!

The villa is so much nicer than the photos. The table outside the kitchen on the patio was our favorite place in the villa. It seats more than 10 and the view of the ocean is incredible. You get a nice morning breeze to have your coffee and just enjoy your surroundings. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and never felt crowded with all the bedrooms and sitting areas. The pool was used every day and night and has the same views of the ocean. Jenny and Alex were beyond amazing, they make you feel like you’re part of the family. They are so helpful and will go the extra mile to help/please your every need. They are a big reason we may book the villa again.
We had the most amazing stay here. This was our trip remembering our mom in her favorite place. Alex and Jennifer were incredible, everything was just magical and we couldn’t have asked for a better anything. It was gorgeous and perfect in every way.

Wow! We had such a time. The home is beautiful, well kept and run by the best staff. The surroundings allow you to see wildlife in the trees, whales in the ocean, and birds in the sky. Every meal was exceptional and the concierge service set up our airport shuttles, rental cars and the best excursions. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to return one day

Fantastic Family Vacation!
Our stay at Villa Amore was wonderful! As stated in previous reviews, pictures just don’t do it justice. I couldn’t get over the spectacular view from the outside terraces and took every opportunity to relax and enjoy it. Our family of six, five adults and an eight year-old, spent many hours enjoying the pool and all of us absolutely loved Jenny and Alex! They were so accommodating and assisted us any way they could. Meals were an event to be savored! We had one fussy eater his requests were always accommodated. The villa was immaculately kept and Jenny even did laundry upon request. Honestly, we have never stayed in a better vacation rental. Thank you, Laura, for promptly answering our questions and for allowing us the pleasure of staying at your beautiful villa. And to Jenny and Alex, you are the best!
Amazing experience!!! Beautiful house. Alex and Jenny were amazing. Food was really good! The view is unbeatable!! Lots of wildlife, beautiful beach!! Would 100% recommend to anyone!!

Our extended family had the pleasure of staying at Villa Amore in mid-March as the second half of our family trip to Costa Rica. This was a perfect getaway spot for us with everything we could ask for and more. The place was spotless, the pool was well maintained and the view and ocean breezes couldn’t be beat. We loved the space in the bedrooms for all our luggage and as four separate families with children it was the perfect setup for sleeping. And then there was Alex and Jenny, they were so warm, welcoming and accommodating to our group. We all very much enjoyed their fabulous cooking and the break it gave us from making our own breakfast and dinners was a priceless luxury! We will be recommending this place to other friends and family.
Our experience was superior to all other of our VRBO stays. The hosts, Alex and Jenny, were especially helpful. Every meal they made for us was better than any meal we could get in the restaurants. We will try to stay here every time we come back to Costa Rica.

My wife, parents and adult sisters stayed at Villa Amore for a week to celebrate my Mom’s 70th birthday. Everything about the week was great.
There is not much more to be said that has not been said in previous reviews . The food is incredible.
I hope to book again with some friends.

Everything about the house was amazing. The pool and outdoor living areas were just what we needed on a winter vacation with the views out to the ocean and the gorgeous sunsets every night. But the most amazing thing about the house is Alex and Jenny who made this a place we decided to continue to visit. They made the most delicious meals every day and worked to create the most relaxing trip ever.

This was our second trip to Carrillo. We love the area, and the beaches are beautiful! Laura was great during the booking process, and Alex and Jenny were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The house is gorgeous, with amazing ocean views. The food was delicious, we ate in every night! Jenny kept the house so clean, and even did our laundry when needed. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us!
