This beautiful home features four spacious air conditioned king bedrooms, each with blackout curtains, plush bedding, and private en-suite bathrooms (one bathroom is ADA-accessible).
Three of the bedrooms also include loft spaces with two twin beds each—ideal for children 10+ or nimble adults (accessed by ladder, with low ceilings).

Indoor-outdoor living at its finest! Expansive fold-back glass doors blur the lines between the open-concept great room, chef’s kitchen, and the breezy poolside terrace—complete with a grill, large chest fridge, and al fresco dining space.
Start your day watching the sunrise over the ocean, sipping on a cup of coffee watching the sights and sounds of Scarlet Macaws and Howler Monkeys greet the dawn. After a day of exploring waterfalls, beaches, or cultural tours, return to float in the serene private pool overlooking Marino Ballena National Park—seasonal home to majestic humpback whales and the protected bird sanctuaries of Isla Ballena and Tres Hermanos. It’s your personal front-row seat to the wonders of nature.
Fire up the BBQ and enjoy al fresco dining beneath the stars or indulge in a locally inspired gourmet dinner prepared by a private chef to celebrate a special occasion.
