Property Description
Welcome to Ventana Del Mar! For those of you looking for a true Costa Rican experience without the hustle of vacation resorts and tourist traps, you’ve found the right place. This unique custom home is nestled in the trees resting above Carrillo Bay. The open air design brings cool ocean breezes and plenty of sunlight. All of the bedrooms are fully appointed with air conditioning units and ceiling fans. There is a gated entry and parking for up to 5 cars for your convenience as well.
Our home is centrally located in the small fishing town of Puerto Carrillo. It is walking distance to the local tiendas (groceries), restaurants, pizzerias, cafés Ko, and of course THE beautiful beach. Carrillo Beach was rated among the top 25 hideaway beaches in the world in Travel and Leisure magazine. Samara is the next beach town 10 minutes away and provides more shopping, restaurants, surfing and adventure tours. Playa Carrillo is one of the most desirable beaches in Costa Rica. This 2-mile long white sand beach is lined with palm trees that provide plenty of shade. And, is void of commercial development. No bars, no hotels, no restaurants, just like its supposed to be with a few locals selling coconut milk or a push cart with sno-cones. Many mornings you can walk the entire beach and see only a handful of people. Carrillo’s horseshoe bay is protected from the rolling Pacific waves by a coral reef which is available for snorkeling at low tide. The waves are usually very playful with no undertow, making it perfect for all ages. Surfers looking for bigger waves can go to Camaronal, the next beach south. Returning from the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax in our private infinity pool. The pool includes a swim up palapa bar with a mini-fridge for drinks and a gas barbeque grill. There is also a cool water Jacuzzi and a waterslide for kids of ALL ages.
The main house offers an open air environment in the Great Room and Dining area and a large, fully equipped kitchen with pass-through breakfast bar. It has 3 bedrooms and three baths that sleep up to 8 people, and for larger parties there are two adjoining 2 bedroom apartments complete with baths and full kitchens for an additional cost.
On site property managers, David and Lesdy will the there to help. Additionally they own Samara Adventures and can provide airport shuttle transportation as well as arrange various sea and land excursions. As you can read in the reviews of our house, they will enhance your experience in every way. Convenience is key when planning an exciting vacation.
Getting to this pristine location is surprisingly easy. If you fly into Liberia International Airport, you can rent a car or charter a Samara Adventures van to take you 2 hour drive. The road is paved the entire way to the house, which is quite a luxury for Costa Rica. If you are flying into San Jose, the drive is usually just under 4 hours. Flying from San Jose is 35 minutes on the local commuter airline, Sansa, which lands at an airstrip in nearby Islita approximately 35-40 minutes away.
Please indicate if you are interested in the house, the apartments or both. Considerations may be made for groups of larger than 14 on an individual basis.

Great location for small study abroad group
The house was perfect for our small study abroad course (1 professor), 7 students. Everyone had their own bed but all but one student (and the professor) shared a room. The upstairs apartment has its own sitting area and kitchen too. Kitchen was great for breakfast and dinner so not having to eat out every meal saved us . Pool was clean and free Netflix for movies in the evening. The property manager David was super helpful getting activities organized after our course was done.

Carrillo sunshine fun
David is a very attentive host. Power outages/surges make for awkward use of bedrooms a/c needed for heat/humidity. The surge protector setup was finicky while ww stayed but David very responsive. Street noise is a problem for light sleepers as windows are noise porouswindows let all

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
We looked for a large home for a family of 12 with 2 toddlers, 2 teenagers and 8 adults (4 couples). We had the main home and an apartment. It was such an unbelievable home and experience. David, the main point of contact, is extremely responsive. He helped us schedule shuttles, excursions and helped when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the safe. The main space is completely open, which is super nice on those 30 days but each room has a mini split to help yourself cool down when necessary. Each room also had a shower and toilet which is really nice when you have so many people.The kitchen is fully equipped. But I would recommend to anyone to use Vivianna, the chef that David connected us with. She cooked us 4 dinners and her fees were extremely reasonable (around 90 total for the 12 of us). The pool is great and it was cleaned twice during week our stay.The beach is about a 5 minute walk. It is a steep walk but if there are mobility issues and you need to drive there's plenty of parking at the beach. It is a great beach, way less busy or touristy then the beach over at Samara. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Christmas Escape
Our family decided to runaway for Christmas and we found ourselves at the perfect spot. There was enough space for 4 teenagers and 6 adults to have some privacy and a lovely shared space. The pool and slide were a great hit. The hill to beach is a bit of a challenge but the ocean makes it worth it.

A Great House for a Group
We stayed at David’s house a few years ago and loved it then; we still do. The house is well designed and the rooms are spacious, including the bedrooms. The pool is, as one of our party said “the best in the universe”. The house is well situated near grocery stores, restaurants, beautiful Carrillo beach and there are bus stops handy for travel to nearby towns. Lesdy and David responded quickly to every issue or inquiry and helped arrange various excursions for us. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Family Vacation
This was the perfect vacation house for our family of ten. We spent many happy hours in the spectacular pool. David and his staff were friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The location was ideal and within walking distance to the beautiful beach, restaurants, and grocery stores. We would recommend this vacation house to everyone!
