New Design Villa · Private Pool · Sleeps 6 · Playa Avellanas Surf

WELCOME TO CASA BALLENA
Wake to monkeys in the garden, surf some of Costa Rica's best waves, and end the day in your own pool. Casa Ballena is a design villa built in 2024 in Playa Avellanas, Guanacaste, made for couples and families who want privacy, nature and world class surf without giving up comfort or style. The beach is about five minutes by car or a twenty minute walk.

THE VILLA
Three ensuite bedrooms open onto the garden and pool: a king primary and two queen rooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a guest powder room. It sleeps up to six, and an extra mattress is available for little ones on request. Living, dining and kitchen share one open space, with tall windows and high ceilings that pull in the light and the breeze. The brand new kitchen is fully equipped, with a coffee machine, toaster, rice cooker, blender, dishwasher, microwave and oven. There is air conditioning and a ceiling fan in every room, a smart TV, fast internet, and a washer and dryer. The primary bathroom has a soaking tub to unwind at the end of the day.

OUTDOOR LIVING
The heart of the house is outside. A private pool sits in a lush garden that glows at night, with a BBQ, an outdoor table for ten and lounge chairs by the water. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach, and quiet corners to read or do nothing at all. Monkeys and birds for neighbors.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Avellanas is surf and nature country. World class waves at Playa Avellanas, Lagartillo and nearby Playa Negra, tide pools at low tide, and some of the best restaurants on the coast, with golf close by. A car or a golf cart gets you around the area, and an SUV is ideal for the rougher roads. The lot is private, with an alarm system and a manned security booth right across the street. The area stays quiet and uncrowded, and that calm is part of what makes it special.

WHO IT'S FOR
Couples, families and small groups up to six who want privacy, design and nature over nightlife and crowds. Surfers, food lovers, and anyone after a calm, beautiful base near the water. A barefoot, unhurried kind of home.
Mateo, one of the hosts, lives right across the street and is on hand for anything you need. And if you want everything ready when you arrive, our local concierge Olga arranges surf lessons and board rentals, yoga, a private chef, transport and tours on request. Just tell us what you would like and we will quote it up front, with no surprises.
Free parking on site. Fast Wi-Fi. Air conditioning throughout. Washer and dryer. Beach towels. Calm, well behaved pets welcome.
