About this house rental

Villa Mer

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Carefree vacation memories will be yours at this beautiful beach home just steps from the ocean in Tivives. Not only is the home inviting with its coastal charm and decor - including an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area - but the outdoor garden and shady, green spaces are exquisite as well.

You will find yourself not wanting to leave the lazy hammocks and chaise lounge chairs surrounding the crystal-blue private pool, nor the shared time spent with loved ones at the outdoor covered patio and barbecue grill - with an ocean view! And speaking of views, no one will want to miss out on a morning coffee or favorite evening beverages during sunset while perched on the rooftop patio, a most pleasant way to both begin and end the day.

Inside, this gem of a home features a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to whip up delicious homemade meals for the crew. Use the free WiFi to search for a traditional Costa Rican dish and give it a try! Both bedrooms feature comfortable beds and smart TVs for added convenience. There are two modern bathrooms, both with showers. Look no further for your next tropical getaway - it's all here.

This location is equally convenient and secluded. There is a local dining spot less than a mile away and a hiking spot called Alto de las Mesas just three miles away.

Our stay was great. We love the fact that it was a beach front property with a pool. House was just as described and had everything we needed (well equipped kitchen, grill area, towels, etc). The sunsets by the pool were the best! We definitely are looking forward to our next visit.

Villa Mer is centrally located to many activities most within a 90 minute drive. Randal the owner is very responsive via What'sApp and the grounds keeper does his job without interfering with the guests enjoyment of the property. The pool man Alexander was beyond helpful even changing a tire for us when we discovered a flat. Having a washer onsite was good and hanging the clothes on the clothes lines was quite sufficient for drying, though for the off season a dryer would be needed.The pool is a good size for swimming and just relaxing and with the beach right there you can go for a walk and watch the sunset or watch it from the upper deck. The kitchen is well applianced and there are multi-lingual instruction books available for each appliance. There is plenty of hot water for showers and the kitchen cleanup.I would stay at Villa Mer again in a heartbeat and wish I could have booked it for 2 weeks, but I have only so much time off from work. Guess there is next year.

Everything was perfect. Very well equiped house. The sunsets form the pool and ranch made our rest even better! Love it.

This property was worth the stay due to the outdoor dining area with hammocks and the pool. You could walk right out to the beach. It is off the beaten path and you are 45 minutes from the closest town. We were a little worried when we were driving into the surrounding area and was glad to see the 24/7security that monitored and patrolled the front and back areas along the beach. The stove top does not work and there were cockroaches. We were able to use the bug spray provided under the sink. If you are looking for something quiet and remote this is the place.
