Gorgeous home overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Costa Rica is our happy place, and Villa Esperanza increased our happiness! It is a beautiful luxury home that was extremely comfortable. Lenora and Mary were so accommodating with whatever we needed and our vacation was perfect. From our chef, Garrett, to breakfast at Cafe Negra, to swimming in the pool and jumping waves-we will be back!

Birthday Trip

The house was unbelievably beautiful! We all felt like we had walked into a postcard. Mary was so helpful and responded promptly when I had any questions. If you are looking for a quiet retreat to the beach that is convenient to Tamarindo, this is it. It was fun to sit on the balcony and watch the surfers while drinking coffee in the mornings. I have zero complaints about this property. We all would highly recommend it to anyone looking for paradise.

Amazing and luxurious home!

Our family of 11 spent our spring break at this lovely home. It was the perfect set up for three couples and our children. LOVE the bunk room. We hosted our nephew's baby dedication and couldn't have asked for a better place! Mary was wonderful to set up the actives and made sure our trip was in order. Loved Michelle, the chef, who prepared fresh and delicious meals to accommodate various tastes and preferences. Loved Villa Esperanza and Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Amazing week

We did a last minute trip to CR between Christmas and New Years. Lenora and the house managers were absolutely wonderful to deal with. They were incredibly helpful in setting up activities, and helped us set up amazing chefs. The house is beautiful, well furnished, and well stocked! All of the bedrooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable. The kids enjoyed being able to walk down the beach to a fantastic surf break. The beach in front of the house is amazing and quiet. Do not hesitate to book this gorgeous home!

Amazing Stay

Wow, what a fantastic stay at Villa Esperanza. The house is beyond beautiful and the location on the beach is amazing. Pictures do not do it justice. Mary, the house manager, is incredibly helpful. We loved having meals prepared by Chef Sebastian and a day trip to Palo Verde through the driver Mary suggested was also great. We had a fun time doing ATV through Conchal Fun. We had great breakfasts at Corazon and dinners at Villa Deveena, Cafe Playa Negra and Mycelium. But some of the best time was just hanging at the house, watching the surfers and walking on the beach. Thank you Lenora and Mary for a wonderful vacation. We can't wait to visit again!

Perfection

The house was amazing and we all had a really great time. We played hise and seek since it was so big. We were all comfortable and the decor was gorgeous. The kids loved the pool. The ocean swimming spot was about a 10 minute walk. The sunsets from the house took our breath away and the iguanas every morning on the rock wall were fun to see. Response to any question was fast and the two chefs (Ben and Arthur and Jen) were a must to have cook for you. Guti Tours, Mojo Surfing, Jet Skiing with Conchalfun.com and Ziplining are a must!!

Heaven on Earth.....

WOW! Where to start.....the sound of the waves rolling up on the beach as we relaxed by the pool or the infinity view of the sun sinking into the ocean, La Villa Esperanza has it all! From the time we first made an inquiry about spending our honeymoon in Costa Rica both Lenora and Mary made sure every detail was looked after from the time we booked until we flew back to Canada, and by far exceeded all of our expectations! A perfect location that allowed us to explore the local culture and take in activities during the day and relax in luxury as the sun set into the ocean in front of us every night! A honeymoon we will not soon forget.....Thank you!

Agree with most of the previous reviews but would like to add a couple things we did. We had a family of ten 6 adults, 4 teenage kids. Working with Mary Diekers, the rental property manager, we employed a ten person van and driver to pick us up at the airport. Turns out he was also an excellent daily tour guide, setting up and driving us to zip line, ATV, horse back riding, and river cruise activities. His name is Jeffery Guevara, very friendly, speaks fluent English, and was knowledgable on everything Costa Rican. We also selected to have evening chefs cook dinner for us on three occasions. This was especially helpful after returning from a busy day of activities. Highly recommend Chefs Garrett Hurley and his wife. Their food preparation was incredible, much better than any restaurant. We also rented an SUV at the airport as kind of a back up. As stated by others the property is realatively isolated with bummpy dirt roads in and out.

A perfect beachfront escape - a rare find of beauty and peacefulness

This house is absolutely breathtaking! Nestled in the charming small town of Playa Negra, it offered stunning ocean views and a gorgeous beach just a short walk beyond the pool. We loved that we could stroll straight from the house along the sand to the best swimming spot—no need for a car. From the moment we arrived, we knew we wouldn’t want to leave—and we hardly did!With everything we needed right at our fingertips, our rental car sat untouched. The house itself was beautifully designed, seamlessly blending comfort with the natural beauty around it. The bedrooms offered so much privacy that I often had to text everyone when it was time to gather for meals—it was that spacious! Every morning, we woke up to the soothing sound of waves and enjoyed delicious meals prepared by our hired chef, making the experience even more relaxing and luxurious. Some of my favorite moments were spent reading on the shaded deck, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Given the warm Costa Rican climate—temperatures were consistently in the low 90s—the air conditioning was a welcome necessity.The setting was pure magic—jaw-dropping beauty everywhere we looked, with peaceful, unspoiled beaches perfect for long walks and quiet moments of reflection. It was the ultimate place to unwind, recharge, and fully embrace the serenity of the ocean. If you’re looking for a place that offers both relaxation and awe-inspiring scenery, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Great time at Villa Esperanza!

We just returned from a 7 day stay at beautiful Villa Esperanza. The house is just as described and the photos are very accurate. Rooms are big and comfortable and it has everything you need to have a great time. It is in a gated community with a mix of house sizes and styles. It is located in a fairly remote area. You will be traveling on a lot of dirt roads! The beach in front of the house is very rocky, but there is a more sandy beach a short walk down or a 5 min drive to Lola's beach grill. Mary and her staff are extremely helpful with developing an itinerary, making reservations for tours, assisting with any issues you might have. We also had a private chef (Ben from PasCam Catering) come two nights, which I highly recommend. Despite the remote location, there are several fantastic restaurants close by. My only complaint about the house is there is a house being built next door and there is some construction noise associated with this. It's not terrible, but they start when the sun comes up at 6:00am and it's something to be aware of. They were not there every day or all day. This is, of course, temporary.

Amazing vacation!

We rented Villa Esperanza for almost 2 wks in June. It was a fantastic experience. The house is gorgeous & huge! The views are spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked. The property manager is very responsive and answered every question we had. Some highlights: 1) Mary offered to do initial grocery shopping for us & it was well worth the fee charged. We ordered wine, beer, food to cook for dinner the first night and breakfast the first morning and snacks & it was a godsend. Once you make the drive from the airport on those rough roads and see the amazing views, you don’t want to head immediately back out to get food. You want to put on your suits and jump in the pool & watch the surfers! 2) We did a triple tour with pura adventura (about 20 min drive) and it was fantastic. Best zip lining we’ve ever done with panoramic views of the canopy. We also did a fun ATV tour with them & horseback riding. Highly recommend. 3) as mentioned, the kitchen is truly gourmet & well stocked and for a rental, the knives are decent. We cooked almost every night, enjoying the ocean views as we prepped and cooked. The only drawback is that there is no hood on the stovetop and no place for the smoke/steam to go which makes cooking bacon and sausage in the morning a bit problematic. 3) the house is very spacious. We had 9 people & were very comfortable. There is a beautiful outdoor table that seats 12 and we ate there every night. I was disappointed that we couldnt eat dinner at that beautiful circular table in the photos. Unfortunately there is no light in the room, making it difficult to eat dinner since it gets dark at 6:00. 4) villa Deevena is a wonderful restaurant in playa Negra with a Michelin trained chef and his family. It’s open air in a beautiful setting, unpretentious, extremely pleasant staff and phenomenal food (get the octopus). We loved it so much that we asked Dean (the owner/chefs son) if his dad would do a cooking lesson for us and he did! We met at 9:30 in the morning & he had us prep the veggies and cook & amazing lunch of lobster, shrimp, scallop, grouper and octopus with a red curry vegetable sauce, roasted butternut squash with julienned veggies & mango cobbler for dessert and one drink! The entire experience was only $50! Chef Patrick rocks! Many more tips but I’m out of room! Beware that you are in a remote area & the nearest grocery store is 30 min away - but that’s part of the charm. Bring books!

I am so glad you enjoyed your time at Villa Esperanza and your critique is appreciated. We are contemplating changing out the cook top to convection which should help with the heat (design flaw by our contractor & us not totally understanding the environment we were building in). Fan / light for the dining is on order and should be in place prior to next high season. There is light from upper floor and we like loads of candles for ambience. Cheers & Pura Vida

Beautiful House Near Surf

We stayed at Villa Esparanza for a week at the start of October. Typically this is a super rainy period of time but we lucked out with only an occasional moment of rain. The house is stunning and arguably the nicest house in the area of Playa Negra. It was a three minute walk to the solid surf spot and we found ourselves sitting in the pool waiting to time our sessions. The layout of the house provided tons of space and the house is so large we didn't even fully maximize areas. Three of the rooms are almost identical and have their own private bathrooms. The region of Playa Negra was perfect with numerous quality restaurants and a good launching point for other regions in the guanacaste area. Only drawback for our stay was the building of the house next door and the construction noise you get if you stay on the west side of the house. They are building fast and imagine won't be much of an issue after the end of this year.

Great place, great location

Go to Playa Negra, stay at Villa Esperanza. Stunning beaches with plenty of stretches of soft sand interspersed with outcrops of ancient black, volcanic rock. And a villa, the word house doesn’t do it justice 10 yards from the beach. 3 true master suites, a well stocked kitchen, verandas, indoor and outdoor eating and gathering areas, and very well maintained. We loved this place, and we get around. My wife and I are often asked if we’d go back to a place. Our stock answer is no....there’s too many places to explore in the world. We’ll make an exception for this place.

Incredible retreat in perfect surroundings.

If you are looking to Costa Rica, look no further! This Villa is perfection. Spanish architecture with old world flair, gorgeous and well appointed immaculate suites which exude warmth, class and charm. We loved the rocking chairs at sunset, the enormous round table for dinner, walks on the beach, frosty drinks by the pool...... and gazing out to the surf and wild horses from the infinity pool. Mary who is the Property Manager is simply incredible, she organized every pick up from the airport to all of our excursions. From spa day's at Spa de Eros, to snorkeling and sunset sails, dinner reservations at Daveena's (a must do) to day trips. She arranged for Chef Pascal & Camille to cook us incredible meals, morning and night. We've stayed in some of the best resorts and hotels in the world and her attention to detail was beyond the best of the best. This is a first class vacation in a phenomenal setting and I can not thank the owners enough for making our experience one that we shall never forget. It was beyond perfection Xxx

One Word: PHENOMENAL

Absolutely astonishing property, location, interior and exterior. It was the getaway of a life time and I really hope to be back. The hosts have the house set up with everything you could want or need and more. Immaculate daily cleaning and service. Locals are so nice! The sunset's are absolutely breathtaking. The POOL! So so beautiful. We stayed in March, and I'm late giving this review but 5 stars isn't enough. 12/10. The pictures shown are incredible, for sure, but still don't do the place justice. You really need to see it and experience Villa Esperanza for all its true beauty. Close enough to Tamarindo to go into town, have dinner, and come back - but also far enough to have peace, quiet and privacy. Amazing food nearby = walking distance. Definitely recommend walking the beach to the hotel restaurant (for breakfast, lunch and dinner!). Amazing Smoothies and breakfast just up the road at a place called Jalapenos, you can walk the beach and go up through the hotel road. Getting to watch the surfers all day long, right from the pool deck was so, so cool! (if you're into photography you will love this part!) Also go check out Lola's Restaurant at Playa Avellanas. AMAZING food, staff there is awesome too! This beach is where I tried surfing :) The photos don't show the totally private beach you get, just footsteps below your pool deck! If you're a star gazer... oh man! We'll be going back ASAP :) Thank you Villa Esperanza !!
