About this property

La Luxuria Executive Villa -**** HIGHEST RATED AND BEST DEAL IN THE AREA!! ****

Somewhere on the Nicoya Peninsula there is a tiny surf town where rock stars, supermodels and pro surfers come to play. This is a place where the sun shines a little brighter, friends laugh a little harder and life is a lot less serious.

This brilliant place is called Santa Teresa and it’s just far enough out of the way to keep the crowds out but close enough to paradise that it’s worth going an extra mile for.

We built a very special hilltop house here to entertain our friends and family. This is a very private place, just a kilometer up the hill from spectacular beaches, surf spots, bars and restaurants but guarded by a gatehouse and hidden by the dense rain forest that surrounds it.

Of course we share this space with the resident monkeys, parrots, toucans and all of our other beloved forest friends. Sometimes if we’re lucky, we get to watch the whales swim by in the turquoise ocean below with our morning coffee. What a life!


Whales and Dolphins: While not everyone likes to go fishing, it's worthwhile at least taking a boat tour of Cabo Blanco just south of Santa Teresa to view the migrating whales, dolphins, manta rays, turtles and a wide array of stunning sea life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning on having a raging party here, save us all the trouble, and please don't rent this house, the power will be cut immediately, police will be called, and charges will be filed.

Beautiful house, very clean and well maintained. No problems with any anything while there. If you want a great ocean view in a quiet area with privacy La Luxuria would be the place. I highly recommend.

The best place in the area

The place is beautiful and the pictures don’t lie. That said there are a couple warnings. First, the property is located up a STEEP hillside. You will need a AWD or ATV to get up and down. Second, it’s in the jungle, there will be lizards, bugs and ants.That said, the property manager was awesome and recommended numerous excursions and restaurants — all of which were awesome.

Beautiful and very peaceful!

We had a wonderful time! The villa is very private, surrounded by trees, short drive to the beach and a wonderful ocean view. The host and property manager were very responsive. We had no issues at all, our vacation was perfect. Highly recommend renting a AWD SUV, the hill to the get to the villa is very steep. We all enjoyed the pool, very relaxing. We will definitely come back.

A little gem above Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Beautiful property surrounded by the jungle with awesome views of the ocean. Road to get there is very steep. Definitely need a 4x4, but it’s worth it. The house is spacious, with AC in every bedroom. Kitchen is super functional. The pool was probably the best feature. We spent a lot of time in it. Felt safe the whole time. Great property managers.

Great stay

This was our family's 4th time to the area and our favorite villa. The location is perfect, right in the middle of Santa Teresa but high enough on the hill so that it is very private and quiet. The house is perfect, a great pool area and awesome outdoor spaces with beautiful views of the ocean. The concierge Laurie was so helpful, she helped us set up ziplining, horseback riding, and our ATV's for the week. We saw lots of wildlife at the house itself, including howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys. Thanks to Sanjiv for sharing his beautiful house with us! We can't wait to go back!

Private Ocean Getaway Overlooking Santa Teresa

My wife and I met two of our friends here and absolutely loved our stay. The home is well maintained, secure, private and breathtaking. Santa Teresa Beach is an eclectic location of enchanting beaches, good food, great surf and fun beachcombing. La Luxuria is located above all the noise in the quite hillside above the beach. The pool is big enough for several guests to be in at once. Housekeeping comes regularly, and the owner is very easy to work with. I was a little intimidated by the steep driveway, but it’s very safe and like Sanjiv says, it’s what you gotta do for such a great view.

Month in Paradise

This was the third year in a row our group has spent a month in Costa Rica. Each year we have rented a home in a different area of the country. This house was our favorite. Lori, the property manager lived down the hill was always available, responding within minutes to any questions or issues which arose. For example, the espresso machine was replaced immediately when discovered it was not working. Our group loves cooking. This kitchen was well stocked, various choices of coffee makers, sharp knives, multiple sets of dishes and a water filtration system. The infinity pool was kept crystal clean, the water warm and the view exceptional. We ate all our meals outdoors on the shaded patio, reserving the indoor dining table for "office space". The Wi-Fi worked well, even with 3 or 4 Zoom calls. The house sits at the top of a steep hill. We decided not to rent a car or ATV, as we preferred the daily exercise of walking down and up from town and the extraordinary beach. (If you have mobility issues transportation will be required.). We hired cabs for larger or heavier grocery runs. If you love wildlife, this is the house for you, pizotes, monkeys and a wide variety of birds & butterflies frequent the property. We highly recommend this property for families or 2-3 couples.

Unbelievable

This home sits high up on the mountain…. You have to drive up a steep dirt road to get there, so be prepared. From the yard, you can look over the ledge and see lots of wild jungle, some rooftops, and then beautiful blue ocean all the way to the horizon. You can check the waves from here too. The infinity pool makes you feel like you could just fall off the ledge and into the jungle below….But that’s actually not true- the pool and house and entire property are very safe and clean. We stayed with four WILD kids, ages 10-12, and no one got hurt or lost or bitten. Though we had a few close encounters with dangerous creatures: a snake, a scorpion, and one huge, hairy spider. But that was only because we left the sliding glass door open for a few hours one night, when we left for dinner. Like others have said, the photos and description don’t do this place justice. Also, it’s located right above the main drag of Santa Teresa, near Del Soul surf shop and a bunch of restaurants and clothing stores. Playa Hermosa is 15 min away on an ATV. AMAZING!!

Costa Rica Reunion

This was an amazing property and vacation all around. The balance between going into town and just relaxing at the top of Santa Teresa was perfect. The pool was phenomenal-so were the accommodations as a whole (bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious-kitchen was very well stocked). We’ve been to ST 5 times now and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed.

Tolles Ferienhaus mit leichten Mängeln

Das Haus ist schon sehr toll, allerdings ist die Lage ca 150m über dem Meeresspiegel und man muss eine sehr steile Straße hoch, die mit dem Auto nur zu bewältigen ist, weil sie asphaltiert ist. Zu Fuß zum Strand ist nur etwas für Leute die in den Alpen wohnen. Die Fliegengitter sind beschädigt und schlecht. Wir hatten eine Vogelspinne und 2 Skorpione im Haus. Wir hatten für jedes Bett ein Moskitonetz dabei, und das war eine gute Entscheidung. Beim 4er Toaster haben nur 2 Spalten funktioniert.Der Blick vom Haus und aus dem Pool ist super, aber den Sonnenuntergang kann man leider nicht sehen.Der Indoorpool ist leider für eine sehr hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit im Haus verantwortlich.Da das Haus am Ende der Straße liegt, sieht man dort sehr viele Tiere ( Leguane, Nasenbären, Waschbären, Brüllaffen), mehr als in den National Parks.

CR Vacation

The place far exceeded expectations. The pictures are good, but the property is better. We arrived to howler and white face monkeys in the yard. There were butterflies everywhere. The pool overlooks the pacific where we watched the whales breaching on several days (bring good binoculars). The house has very well equipped kitchen and the beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms were great. Laura is an exception host and offered any assistance we needed. Our only complaint is the house was so good, we rarely left to experience Santa Teresa....I guess we will just have to come back.

Absolutely Perfect!

My family and I had a wonderful time at La Luxuria. The house is beautiful and stocked with all the things you need. The cleaning and grounds personnel are great and Laurie, the concierge, was very helpful with information about local businesses and setting up excursions. Both my wife and mother-in-law have mobility problems and were not able to go on any excursions, but the house is so awesome and well-appointed that they were thrilled just to relax there during the days. The house also serves as a great, secluded home base from which to go on adventures. My kids and I went to the beach several times, hit all the local restaurants, went horse-back riding on the beach and zip-lining through the jungle. Best vacation ever!

Un endroit paradisiaque !

Nous avons séjourné en famille en février 2024. Tout était parfait ! L’emplacement est idéal. La maison et la vue sont splendides. Nous avons pu observer beaucoup d’animaux sauvages dans le jardin et aux alentours (singes, iguanes, ratons laveurs, écureuils, oiseaux colorés…). Les photos correspondent tout à fait à la réalité. Marison est venue 3 matins par semaine pour faire le ménage. Roberto vient aussi 3 fois par semaine pour entretenir la piscine. Ils sont tous les deux très discrets et efficaces. Laurie, qui nous a accueilli, parle très bien français et nous a permis d’organiser certaines activités. Nous recommandons vivement de séjourner dans cette villa. C’était notre premier voyage au Costa Rica et nous avons adoré, nous y retournerons sans aucun doute.

Living The Life

From check in with Laurie to the quick answers of the owner, this has been one of our best vacation locations ever. This was rainy season and we only had 2-3 rainy days out of 15. The proximity of the beaches and activities were perfect. Believe me you need a 4X4 to climb that mountain and yes you might think your going the wrong way but when you arrive at this little oasis you will know it was worth it. Laurie will help with all the activities and to be honest we did some of the best activities we have ever done on trips, a 2 hour horseback ride on a ranch, through rivers, on the beach, just breathtaking and memorable. The town has great restaurants and are all close to the house, main beach down the road has the perfect sunsets and amazing waves for surfing. The house was cleaned regularly and well taken care of by the staff. The pool well that’s all I can say it’s exactly like the photo. If you’re lucky enough you will see some monkeys, coatis, iguanas and other birds and stuff. All around this place is as advertised and we highly recommend it to anyone taking a trip to Costa Rica. Many thanks to the whole team there, Laurie and Sanjiv as well. Hope to visit again in the future. Derek
