🌴 Oceanfront Luxury on a Secluded Beach in Costa Rica

Why settle for “ocean views” when you can be right on the ocean? Our villa sits directly on Playa Matapalo, an expansive stretch of sand where the rainforest meets the sea. This is not a crowded resort town — it’s a peaceful, unspoiled paradise perfect for families, couples, and groups seeking privacy, comfort, and connection with nature.

Wake up to the sound of the surf, walk the beach at sunrise in solitude, and spot macaws, monkeys, and sloths nearby. Playa Matapalo is a beach less traveled — and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.

Our calendar is filling up far in advance. Don’t miss out. We’d love to host you!!🙏

My wife and I hosted a 4-night creativity, art and music, retreat at this amazing place and it worked perfectly. We were 14 people (we rented this full villa and the 'owner's villa' next to it.) The location is breathtaking. Literally steps from a beautiful beach that we more or less had to ourselves. The ocean here is perfect for swimming and splashing around. We had visits from Capuchin monkeys, a sloth, and many beautiful birds and iguanas. The rooms are amazing and all our guest were very happy with the accommodations. The upstairs master bedroom is incredible. We hired Karla to make our lunches and dinners and her cooking was delicious and varied with lots of local fruits, vegetables and flavors. We worked with her to create the menu and it exceeded expectations. The villa is close to a little store that is well stocked for most anything. We also worked with Flory to coordinated transportation and scheduling and she is a joy to work with. The owners were very responsive as well. This is a fantastic place to stay and we hope to be back!

We chose this property originally because it had wheelchair access and it was large enough to handle our large family group of 4 generations. Little did I know just how amazing the property, the owners and especially how amazing Flory our concierge was! This was a very special trip as my father is battling end stage colon cancer and we wanted to celebrate his life with what he called his "Going away Party". Flory contacted me immediately once the reservation was made and was so communicative throughout the entire process. She set up surf lessons, horseback riding and fishing where 7 Sail Fish were caught! She also had a chef prepare some amazing food for some dinners as well as a birthday breakfast for my grandson's 16th birthday. The house and Villas are beautiful and the beds were so comfortable! The view from the bedrooms could not have been more serene and we did have a visit from some monkeys, iguanas and our favorite, sloths. Jacson was a master at finding the sloths and always let us know where they moved to. Perry and Paola, the owners, are the nicest people and so humble. We were so fortunate to have met them when we were there. We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience and my father was so appreciative of the care everyone took to ensure his last trip on this earth was a great one. We would definitely stay again the next time we visit Costa Rica!

Flory was an awesome host, she set up everything in advance that we requested and all of her recommendations were spot on! We had a group of 13 people, the house was set up perfect for the group and I highly recommend having dinner cooked at the villa, the chef was amazing and they made you feel like you were at a restaurant (again set up by Flory)!

We were delighted with the place. Flori and Jacson were very helpful, and the property is beautiful and very comfortable for families or large groups.
