About this villa rental
PRIVATE POOL + FULL OCEAN VIEWS + BEAUTIFUL BEACH
Bright and cheery 2100 sq. ft. detached home with private pool--direct beach access.
Villa Gecko is located on the LOWER half of Bahia Pez Vela, a minute walk to the beach. Prime location, which offers privacy for the pool and deck area, with wonderful ocean views.
Bahia Pez Vela is located a few minutes drive from Coco, a lively beach town full of restaurants, shopping, tour providers and more, but Pez Vela is loved for its mellow, friendly location.
Whether you are looking for a vacation packed with the one of a kind eco-adventure only available in Costa Rica or simply want to relax in your private pool and on the quiet black sand beach, Villa Gecko is the place for you.
Enjoy beautiful views of the beach, Pacific Ocean, Monkey's Head and Witch's Rock. Villa Gecko is a quick one-minute walk to a tranquil beach that offers great snorkeling, soft ebony sand and even extensive tide pool exploration. If you are lucky, you may even spot turtles!
The Costa Rican-style villa is casual, well-equipped, boasts a beautiful custom-tiled pool, seating in the sun + shade--all this at just a one-minute walk to the beach and resort restaurant/pools. Our guests enjoy the privacy our villa offers, while a perfect distance away from the lively restaurant, main resort pools and beach.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast next to your private pool and spend the evening stargazing from your private balcony or large patio.
The onsite restaurant, Maracuya Restaurant and Beach Club (seasonal), offers local and North American specialties--along with a full bar service--in a low-key environment. They offer open air dining at tables or next to the pool. Stretch out on a lounge chair, enjoy the view and enjoy a wonderful passion fruit smoothie--Pura Vida! They can also deliver to your villa and offer classes, weekly live music and more.
The tourist village of Coco Beach, a short 10-minute drive away, hosts a variety of restaurants and nightlife, banks, shopping, tours, etc.
The villa is set up to make your stay pleasant--a private pool in a spacious patio area, a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, all linens, wooden lounge chairs and patio furniture, storage space/uncluttered closets with hangars, FREE WIRELESS INTERNET, games, books and more.
Villa features: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Master: king sized bed, private bathroom, balcony, full ocean view, large closet, dresser, nightstands. Bedroom 2: queen sized bed, twin bed, full ocean view, large closet, dresser, night stands. Bedroom 3: two twin beds, dresser, shelf, nightstands, mountain view. All bedrooms and living areas have A/C, screens and ceiling fans.
Villa is self-catering; food is not provided, but we have a well-equipped kitchen if you would like to prepare your own meals. Groceries, shops, restaurants are available in nearby Playa Coco (10 minutes by car). BBQ kit is available from the resort and grocery shopping can be provided through the concierge (fees apply). Pool is cleaned every other day.

The resort was a perfect setting for our reunion of 25 people. Each individual family had their own villa, four in total. The restaurant within the resort had very good food and the service was tremendous. Beach access was excellent. Pool was great. If we were to go back, we would probably request a midweek clean of the villa. And also, we would likely rent a car.

Wonderful property and location. Would love to stay here again. The beach was fantastic. House was clean. Very responsive to maintenance issues.

Home is as described, very comfortable and has good appliances. The pool is quite large and has an excellent outdoor space. We actually never used the public pools since ours was so good.There is management staff onsite all day, so easy access for help.The local beach is very nice with beautiful black sand, tide pools and many shells. It was never busy, it may never have broken a dozen people.Onsite restaurant is delicious - the surf&turf platter for 4 was spectacular. Coco is less than 15 minutes away with many dining and shopping options.We saw many birds and animals from the house.

The owner and resort staff were exceptional to deal with. Speedy and accurate responses to all requests and both were very helpful when there were airport closures and flight disruptions at the end of our trip.
This property is fairly secluded but within a short driving distance of nearby Coco. It has most items that are needed for a stay, however some beach chairs and beach toys would be nice to have.
All in all, a great property and experience.
