Rare Find! Gated LUXURY, 7500 sq. ft., Beachfront Villa on Millionaires Row

Rare Home with 6 Master Suites, 5 of them are Oceanfront! Tortugas is one of only a few Villas that are situated on Millionaires Row "Beach" and can be rented out.

Enjoy waking up to the sound's in this Beautiful Custom Villa. Indonesian Designed with a Costa Rican flare, Professional Interior Design, Private Spacious, Beach front Villa.
Casa De Las Tortugas (House of the Turtles) sits on the beautiful upscale beach of Playa Langosta. So close that the surf is to be heard from just about every room in the house.
Designed by acclaimed architect Abraham Valenzuela, executed by the well-known Karl Gronemeyer and built by the hands of Costa Ricans with imported wood columns, ornate doors and artifact's that were imported directly from Indonesia… These two cultures blended together create a serene oceanfront escape. Over seen and executed by Karl again, In 2015 Casa De Las Tortugas went under a careful restoration that has enhanced its subdued and simple, yet elegant character.
This breathtaking 7500 sq. ft. beach front estate is truly one-of-a kind which makes it the perfect place for an Oceanfront celebration with multiple families or friends traveling together.

Our concierge can set up transportation, tours, chefs and for fill any special requests you may have.
Our home is very rare in its floor plan. No other home on Millionaires Row has such a Unique floor plan with all oceanfront Masters and large windows so you don't miss out on the views even when inside.

Another rare characteristic of Tortugas is that all the homes situated on our beach are connected to each other so we do not have side yards. You can only go through the house to get to the back or front yard. Tortugas was built with a tunnel that goes under our home so our security guard can patrol the front and the back without walking through the house and your private space.
Mario our security guard has been with us since the house was built. He is there to ensure that during your stay you will always have a good night sleep.

Has so much to offer. Our quiet & quant Langosta Community is on a dead-end road from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo (less then 1 mile away).

We also have a Adorable beachfront B&B 3 doors down that is open for breakfast.


Our rates do not include breakfast because of so many convenient and unique places to enjoy. If you wish for a chef to come for breakfast we can provide one for an additional fee. In the mean time we don't add breakfast to our rates so that we can remain to keep our rates as low as possible for those who do not want breakfast service.

Staying at Casa de Las Tortugas you can't help but leave the world behind. You can head to the pool or to the beach with a cold drink in your hands and for the warm sand between your toes…. You're close enough to go back for a refill.

We hope to have you as our guest at Casa De Las Tortugas ~ Chris Kellar (owner)

Best Vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at
Beautiful, just like the pictures. Maid service was excellent. Walking distance to town. Private security. Overall exceeded expectations. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Multi Family Home
Perfect home and location for a relaxing vacation with teenagers (if there is such a thing!). The location of the home was ideal-far enough from Tamarindo to have a quiet private beach and close enough that we could get there quickly for dinners or a night out! We traveled with 4 teenage boys who said it was the best spring break they’ve had. The staff at the house was so helpful-from dinner reservations and help planning drivers and excisions to keeping the house tidy and us safe, they didn’t miss a thing! One thing I would point out is that 2 of the bedrooms (pool room and casita) are not accessible from the main house so they wouldn’t be ideal for young children. However, for teens or older couples it was perfect! Highly recommend booking here! We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic
The house is great and as advertised. Maria and Susanne were fantastic to work with, very responsive, and happy to give us plenty of activity ideas. It is on the beach even if you can’t tell from the pictures. The location is great also. Maybe a 5 min drive from downtown Tamarindo, it’s quiet - but close to everything.

Wonderful Stay
Just got home from great stay at Casa de Las Torgugas. What a beautiful house and property! Maria was so helpful as the concierge. Bertha and Jose were also great! The nightly guard was much appreciated although we felt very safe. The property was well-maintained, and the house was spotless. Lots of excellent restaurants with just a short golf cart ride. No car needed.

Amazing Property and Staff
The property and staff exceeded our expectations. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed for our family vacation. This is a boutique hotel experience with a home feeling. Anything we needed, Susanna was quick to respond and help us. Clean, organized and luxury Costa Rica living! A short walk to restaurants, beach, or bars. This house is perfect and our family already wants to plan our next vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Kellar

Host profile image
Born and raised in Columbia Missouri, my husband Dan and I still reside in our hometown where we met at 18 years old. We have two children, also raised in Columbia that are now grown and independent.
We have owned vacation properties in not only Costa Rica but Florida and Crested Butte Colorado.

Why they chose this property

In 2003- Hearing how wonderful Costa Rica was, Dan and I took a trip down to Central America to see what the talk was all about. We fell in love with the beautiful land and the laid back vibe and gracious locals.
We chose our first home on Playa Langosta to be a beachfront 2 bedroom condo. After nearly a decade of owning we realized our love grew even more for the country and Playa Langosta so we purchased Las Tortugas in 2013. Instantly when walking through the house We knew it was the one....Love at first site.
I never understood the importance of feng-Shui until I entered Casa de las Tortugas.
(feng means "wind" and shui means "water." In Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune)

What makes this property unique

Casa de las Tortugas has a simple elegance that you instantly see when you drive through the front gates. The house has a large living area that opens up on to a large Lanai that allows you to hear the soothing rhythmic sounds of the ocean. The living area was designed to be open air if desired. Between the Ocean sounds and the gentle breezes, Tortugas will calm your worries away.
We loved the fact that the house had two story wings on each side of the house that jetted off towards the ocean. Each wing had bedrooms overlooking the ocean which makes you feel as if it's your private villa off of the main house. Touring up and down the coast we understand how hard it is to find 6 suites where 5 of them are Full Oceanfront Masters.
Playa (beach) Langosta is literally our backyard and most all of the time it's as if no one knows about it but you.
