About this villa rental

A luxurious fully appointed 3 bed/ 3.5 bath house with living room, full kitchen, dining area and private pool. Perfect for a family or group of friends who want a comfortable yet modern and elegant place to enjoy their time on one of Central America's most exclusive beaches!

Located in the secluded Nicoya Peninsula in the Costa Rican province of Guanacaste, you will awaken to the sound of Howler monkeys in the trees, step outside to see migrating whales from the comfort of the pool, and witness the beautiful Scarlet Macaws as they make their way through the trees. You can spend your days at Villa Jalapa laying by the pool or ocean, reading in a hammock, or going on surfing, kayaking and fishing adventures. On your short walk to the beach, you can encounter deer, coatis and countless tropical birds, or you can lay by the pool and watch these amazing creatures as you sun bathe or sip on a drink. If you’re searching for unique experiences in this remote part of Costa Rica, you can go to neighboring Camaronal Wildlife Refuge to see nesting sea turtles at night and newborn hatchlings at dawn or dusk, or surf on its world class, powerful and uncrowded waves. Similar experiences can be found at Corozalito beach, where surfing and turtles abound and even fewer people visit. In addition, our friendly local operators offer multiple tours including ocean and mangrove kayaking, horseback riding, surfing lessons, stand up paddle boarding, sport fishing, and yoga. For those in search of a cultural experience, the local town of Islita, within walking distance, offers community guided tours of the women's art cooperative and the outdoor art museum. You may also request to take Tico (Costa Rican) cooking and tropical cocktail mixing lessons. Lisbeth, our on-site property manager, also offers cooking services (for a fee) for our guests--an opportunity to try local fare by one of the best chefs in the area! Guests of Villa Jalapa will enjoy all the comforts of home with on site property management to meet every vacation wish you could possibly have.

Originally built in 1997, Villa Jalapa underwent a major renovation during the fall of 2013 and emerged as an elegant yet comfortable vacation paradise.

The property is made up of 4 individual buildings: 3, 1 bedroom villas nestled around the central living/dining/kitchen area which opens to the infinity pool.

A large Flat screen television in the living area, stainless steel appliances, stone counter tops, and cool tile flooring. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, plates & silverware, glasses & wine glasses, toaster, blender, coffee maker, Full size commercial refrigerator, separate full size standup commercial freezer, dishwasher, stove, oven and microwave.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are equipped with all linens and will be serviced daily by the on site staff to clean floors, beds and bathrooms.

Magical. It takes some time to get to the Villa and be aware the roads are not paved or flat. All wheel drive helped a lot. the trips is worth it though. If you are looking for nightlife and action. this is not the best choice. If you are looking for tranquility and a truly immersive Costa Rica experience this place is perfect. The people in town were great and everywhere we ate was delicious. We were also lucky enough to have the caretaker Lisbeth make a few dinners and she is a great cook. Diego was a very responsive host and Lisbeth was always there to help with questions and tips. We saw monkeys and coati on property and macaws and parrots flying overhead. the kids loved having private spaces and the pool and living/ dining areas were great spaces to come together. Samara is about a 35 minute drive for tours, food and more great beaches. Would recommend 100%

Great villa for a family vacation. Beautiful views, amazing pool and a huge living area with well stocked kitchen. Rooms were separate with bathrooms so lots of privacy. Definitely recommend this place, we will return

Beautiful setting. House was fully stocked with plenty of room to mingle and have your own air conditioned space. Close to beach and groceries. Would definitely return.

Villa Jalapa is the ultimate beach rental. Could not recommend it more to anyone who is looking for a tropical vacation in Costa Rica. The home is perfectly situated near a large 5 star hotel in Islita, which is a beautiful beach town a few hours drive from San Jose. The house itself is gorgeous -- an infiniti pool with ocean views, & a luxurious Mediterranean aesthetic. The staff is friendly and Lisbeth makes delicious food if you are looking for local cuisine. You need to stay here!!
