Guests have easy access to emerging tourism in the islands of the Gulf of Nicoya including Costa Rica’s newest national park Isla San Lucas a former penal colony now a wildlife reserve with beautiful uncrowded beaches. End your day marveling at Puntarenas’ famous sunsets with a cold beverage at any one of several establishments overlooking the beach and the Gulf of Nicoya.

Your Costa Rican vacation begins after a 90-minute drive from the San Jose airport when you arrive at Villa Cabomar in Puntarenas - your fully equipped private retreat that comfortably accommodates 4 guests in 3 bedrooms. You'll find en-suite baths with hot water in each bedroom along with air conditioning, ceiling fans, generous closet space, and either patio or balcony access. The open concept design and the interior open-air atrium provide maximum ventilation and a sense of tropical living.
After you settle in, you may take a dip in the patio plunge pool surrounded by tropical vegetation before walking to one of the nearby highly rated restaurants in the neighborhood. Connect to WiFi and let your family and friends know you arrived safely.
In the morning your housekeeper will prepare a breakfast featuring fresh tropical fruit, bread, and assorted breakfast items, as well as Costa Rican coffee. The menu can be modified for dietary requirements. Choose to enjoy your breakfast at the custom-made dining room table, the table on the patio, or at the poolside bar.
Original artwork and fresh flowers accent the comfortable and well-equipped living spaces in Villa Cabomar. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals including a microwave and dishwasher. A washer/dryer is available for your use. Security is provided by a remote-controlled entry system and only the housekeeper and the owners have access to the Villa. Villa Cabomar is located in a quiet residential neighborhood where it is safe to walk to the beach and nearby businesses.
Numerous options for spending your day are available:
Relax with a good book and cool beverage on the patio with a refreshing dip in the plunge pool. Grab a beach towel (provided) and soak up the sun and relax in the gentle surf at Costa Rica's longest beach - a two-minute walk from Villa Cabomar
Shop for everyday essentials at a well-stocked neighborhood supermarket. Venture into downtown Puntarenas to visit historical sites and shop at full-service supermarkets, fresh produce markets, pharmacies, and fresh seafood markets.
Back at Cabomar, the housekeeper will service bedrooms and baths providing fresh towels daily and bed linens weekly.
Prepare a snack or meal in the fully equipped kitchen or order in from one of the restaurants offering delivery or walk to a neighborhood restaurant. Join residents of Puntarenas on the beachside boulevard - Paseo de Los Turistas- for a stroll to enjoy the ocean breezes, spectacular sunsets, and the occasional open-air concert.
End the day with a movie on the 52- inch flat-screen TV in the living area or on the 32-inch flat-screen TV in the bedrooms. All TVs are equipped with an Amazon Fire Stick.
Of course, no trip to Costa Rica is complete without visiting some of the country's natural wonders. In Puntarenas, you have the unique opportunity to visit the undiscovered islands in the Gulf of Nicoya, a world-renowned Blue Zone. Experienced tour operators offer excursions by boat to secluded beaches, fishing villages, nature reserves, and even an abandoned prison. Other attractions within 2 hours of Puntarenas include rain forests, jungle canopy zip lines, national parks, wildlife rescue centers, sport fishing, lively beach towns, and innumerable beaches.
Need help in deciding what to do? The Villa owners can provide advice and recommendations before your arrival and during your stay. Consider them your "private concierges."
Villa Cabomar has hosted dozens of families and groups of friends from the US, Canada, and Europe. They have consistently commented on the exceptional service and comfort provided by Villa Cabomar. This experience can be yours.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Cabell & Martha Cropper

We built Villa Cabomar as our retirement home and are happy to make it available for your vacation in Costa Rica. We have lived in Northern Virginia for almost 30 years. Martha is a Puntarenas native and a talented artist. Her taste and attention to details can be seen throughout the house - from the original art on the walls, to the custom designed dining room table, and the handcrafted cabinetry made of native renewable wood. Our adult children consider Villa Cabomar and Puntarenas their second home and visit at least once a year.
Why they chose this property
Located in town within walking distance of highly rated restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, ATMs, and other services, Villa Cabomar is uniquely private but provides many options for your vacation. Our housekeeper considers guests as family members and goes the extra mile to make your stay in Villa Cabomar relaxing and enjoyable. She prepares and serves a complete breakfast every day (except Sunday) and provides hotel-style housekeeping so that you always have a clean and orderly place to come back to from your adventures. Puntarenas, the town, is home to numerous moderately priced restaurants, a lively downtown, and a wide, gentle beach that stretches for several kilometers. It is the perfect starting point for tours to the interior of the country, the Nicoya Peninsula with its quirky beach towns and nature preserves, as well as other Pacific Coast beaches. Puntarenas is only 90 minutes from the international airport in San Jose.
What makes this property unique
Villa Cabomar is unique in that you feel as if you have a home in Costa Rica. You are not sharing its amenities with anyone else. Housekeeping and breakfast are provided so that you can spend your time by the pool, exploring Puntarenas, lying on the beach, or seeing the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Having our roots in Puntarenas gives us access to resources that can make your vacation even more enjoyable. We can help you plan tours and ground transportation to and from the airport with a reliable bi-lingual guide with a well-maintained air-conditioned van. We can provide suggestions for destinations that are 'off the beaten path and transportation alternatives to rental cars. Puntarenas, the major city on the Pacific Coast, provides a taste of the true 'Pura Vida (Costa Rican expression for 'good life'). It welcomes visitors from around the world, but remains a city of friendly people who love to share their beach and lifestyle. Villa Cabomar with its inviting interior atrium and cool spa pool on the patio is a welcome respite from the bustle of the town and sightseeing. It is your private oasis.
