About this villa rental
Let us welcome you to the tranquil Caribbean; idyllic beaches, tropical jungle, great food and lovely people. Our beautiful home is set up to allow our guests to relax and enjoy their beautiful surroundings with a private saline pool and a private walkway to the beach.
Casa Pilon was lovingly built in 2011 from a single native Pilon tree from the mountains of Costa Rica. This Balinesian inspired villa, has been constructed with a meticulous attention to detail. Nestled in the surrounding jungle, Casa Pilon offers a beautiful private saline pool inspired by the dark sands of Playa Negra, luxuriant landscaping, and an open-air design. The center of the house is a massive open-air dining and entertaining area, including a comfortable lounge, full-size billiards table, and dining for 8. Grill dinner on the gas grill, play a game of pool, or relax on the built-in daybeds. The lounge is surrounded by lush grass, perfect for lawn games or soaking up some sun. There are 3 separate bedroom suites, each with an outdoor porch or deck. A massage/hammock platform adjacent to the pool offers an alternative to sunbathing by the pool. 2 minutes from the house there is a private walkway to the magical Playa Negra beaches.
The lounge and dining room flow into a fully equipped gourmet kitchen offering a four-burner commercial grade gas range oven, dishwasher, mixer, refrigerator and freezer, blender, toaster, coffee pot and icemaker. On the other side of the kitchen is a comfortable sofa to relax and stream movies (Netflix, Prime Video etc) with a half bath right next to it.
Two bedrooms privately located in separate wings of the main house offer en-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and king-sized beds. The master bathroom has a large double vanity, dressing area, separate shower, and an in-ground outdoor jacuzzi for unwinding in style or relaxing to the jungle sounds by candlelight. For guests wanting a bit more privacy, the third en-suite king-sized bedroom is located in a poolside bungalow.

Amazing house and great communication. The game gazebo was perfect for lounging and hanging out. The location couldn’t have been better.

This house is magical, from the moment we stepped in, we knew it was going to be a beautiful memory for the books. With two teens completely content and not wanting for things to do, with the pool table, games, ping pong table, etc., it was a family paradise! The pool was amazing, beautiful space and a welcome retreat from the amazing Caribbean sunshine! The seating area around the pool is great and the covered seating area above the pool was so cool! The rooms are comfortable and a great size, the bathrooms very nice. The kitchen has everything you need. It was really hard to leave, this home is a gem!

The property was fantastic for our group of friends to enjoy the Caribbean coast. We loved how we could enjoy the common areas as a group and then have our separate spaces. A short walk to the black sand beach and short drive to the more populated white sand beaches with restaurants and drinks worked out very well for us.

We had know idea of what to expect when arriving to Puerto Viejo. Residencia Kenia was Beautiful and truly unique. The Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo and Playa Negra is a tropical paradise with a big party scene. However, we had a few rough nights. The house has no AC and can be very hot, with damp/wet bed sheets and pillows from the heat and humidity. Also, lots and lots of bugs/mosquitos. Should have brought bug spray. The biggest issue for us was the noise from the surrounding neighbors. We were woken up multiple times throughout the night from cars and people partying late into the night. On the last night we were woken up at 4:30am from one of the loudest “booms” I’ve ever heard. (And no it wasn’t thunder or lightning, that was going on all night as well) Louder than a shotgun, or a tire blowing, no doubt. Kinda sketch and freaky but I wasn’t too worried because of the great security at Residencia Kenia. Overall a good experience and a very beautiful and unique house.
