About this villa rental
Villa Colibri (Hummingbird Villa) is situated in a quaint, guarded community nestled amongst a jungle setting 300 meters from the exquisite Blue Flag Beach (Blue Flag is a world-renowned eco-certification for beaches and marinas) of Playa Bejuco. Don't be surprised if you find yourself alone on the beach during your morning shell collection stroll. The view of the ocean waves with a jungle back drop goes on for miles. Amazing! Even though you have this stunning secluded beach within walking distance from your Villa, there are at least 7 restaurants, (2 ocean front) a spa/hair/nail salon, a gym a small mini mart and a large grocery/liquor store within walking distance. Villa Colibri is a perfect location to explore the many waterfalls, rivers, estuaries and mountains surrounding the Pacific Coastal area. Horseback on the beach, ATV tour, ocean view zipline, white water raft, jump into refreshing waterfalls, take a monkey boat tour or catamaran/snorkel for the day, ocean kayaking and more. So much to do and see before coming home to Villa Colibri and your private pool and fully stocked outdoor kitchen and dining/living area. Pool and beach chairs, boogie boards and pool toys are available for your enjoyment. Inside you will find a fully stocked kitchen, dining area and living room with TV as most love to live outdoors when in Costa Rica and we are happy to provide that opportunity!
The outdoor living area has two 5-speed fans to help keep you refreshed when you are not in the pool. The outdoor kitchen is fully stocked when settings for 6 (another 6 settings are in the interior kitchen), thermo "coconut" glasses to keep your drinks cool, pots and pans, utensils, microwave , BBQ (you will always have a full tank as we have a back-up ready to go!), toaster, fridge, 2 burner hotplate, blender and more. Our coffee cart will have all the coffee mugs you need as well as a coffer maker. There are many electrical outlets in the outdoor area for your technology or other gadgets. The inside kitchen also has a toaster oven, stove, oven, fridge, 2nd coffee maker, 6 additional dinner settings, wine glasses, utensils, and more. The custom designed outdoor dining table is created from a local wood and has 6 chairs. We also have 3 additional stools and another 4 dining chairs if you require more seating. Relax on our 5 pc outdoor living area directly under one of the 2 fans. (you will be sooo happy you have these fans!)
Our property is surrounded with beautiful tropical plants hecilonia, hibiscus, bird of paradise red ginger plants, palm and banana trees and other flora) and is fully gated on either side of the house. We have seen monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws while relaxing in the pool or having a coffee or drink under the rancho. Depending on the tide, we often hear the ocean waves in the early morning and evening and the different species of birds singing throughout the day is wonderful.
The master bedroom has a king sized very comfortable bed with an ensuite bath with double sinks and large shower. Walkout from your master bedroom sliding glass doors to your private pool and waterfall oasis! The 2nd bedroom has a queen sized very comfortable bed with a large window looking out to a banana and palm tree. There is also a single blow up bed if required for a 5th person. The 2nd bath also has a large shower. There are 4 air conditioners but most will use them at night to get a good nights sleep as the real living is outdoors!
There will be parking for a small to mid sized vehicle in front of the Villa. (The owners have access to the garage)
Of course, WIFI, and cable are included. NOTE: Electricity will be extra. Due to the fact that many people were running all air conditioners while away or in the pool, a couple of years ago we lowered our rates by $20 per day and started charging electricity. . The average usage is $11 - $12/day if you use the A/C responsibly. We collect a $100 (cash) per week deposit when you arrive. We read the meters when you arrive and again when you leave and refund the balance of the deposit. If you use the air conditioners responsibly, you will actually be saving money.
The community gated/guarded and is small with wonderful neighbours The cobblestone streets are lined with coconut trees and other tropical plants. There is a community pool and have your own personal oasis right outside your bedroom door!
Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive a digital copy of the directions from San Jose or Liberia, a booklet describing our home, area, tours, and tips to take advantage of throughout your stay. We have included a list of the most common phrases you might need here too! In 2019, a new apartment was built over the 2nd level but still offers exclusivity and complete privacy in your Villa and Rancho/Pool area. A very quiet retired couple live in apartment (us)
We hope you love and enjoy our tropical oasis as much as we do. Pura Vida...Costa Rica

The pictures do not do this justice! Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood. The pool was just the right size for us to hang out in or for our 7 year old to play in while cooking dinner. The outdoor kitchen area was amazing. Great host and would stay again!
8 / 10Excellent·May 2025
It was a nice place. We got lucky that we were there on a holiday because there was construction on next door So there was just 3 days that we were woke up. We did not know that the host lived above the rental , but we never saw them except tell us information. They told us about a happy hour party on the beach that was so much fun. We spent all the time on the patio. It was so nice.

From the moment we got there it felt like home. Everything was as advertised and couldn't be happier. The hosts were welcoming and provided us with information regarding tours, restaurants, places to see etc. The local beach was outstanding and beautiful sunsets daily. Highly recommend this property - you will not be disapointed. Lori and Carl (our hosts) thank you very much for everything.

I came to Costa Rica to write and “bird.” I literally was able to do both at the same time during my month long stay at Villa Colibri. I feel totally blessed that I discovered this property.
This is a very well stocked “home away from home” full of all you need to live here day-to-day. The two bedrooms are lovely, with the main bedroom having a sliding door that leads to the outdoor “rancho.” There is a den with a couch that, in theory, could be slept on by smaller people. This is a lot of house for a solo traveller especially when you consider I rarely go indoors.
Why am I rarely indoors? If there is one area of the villa that the listing doesn’t do justice, it is the patio or “rancho.” I basically lived out there; if there had been a hammock out there, I probably would have. My day started early with me sitting in one of the comfortable outdoor chairs, sipping coffee, working on my manuscript with my laptop on my lap (the wifi was great), and my camera in front of me on a tripod. There were days when I hardly got anything written because of all of the different species of birds and lizards distracting me. It was like living in an aviary - one with a sink, a fridge, and a barbecue.
If I needed a break to recharge and/or cool off, the pool was right there. While it has a small surface area, the deep end is over six feet deep.
The villa is so lovely, you could probably spend your entire time inside this quiet, gated community. However, you’ll need to get to the beach. It reminds me of Long Beach on Vancouver, Island or Cannon Beach in Oregon, except with fewer people and the water that is amazingly warm. No wet suit required here. Playa Bejuco is 870m from the villa down a well marked gravel road. Once you are on the beach, you can literally jog barefoot in soft sand for what looks like kilometres in either direction. While the surf is “expert” because of the straight on barrel break, the secondary break was a blast for this rookie bodyboarder. It is no wonder that this “hidden gem” is a popular destination for Costa Rican families from the Central Valley.
No review of the property would be complete without giving a shout out to Debbie and Deems, the property managers for the community who literally live across the street. These warm and helpful expats did an amazing job of getting me settled and making sure my stay was optimal. They are the reason to select this development over some of the others in the area.
