Let us welcome you to the tranquil Caribbean; idyllic beaches, tropical jungle, great food and lovely people. Our beautiful home is set up to allow our guests to relax and enjoy their beautiful surroundings with a private saline pool and a private walkway to the beach.
Casa Pilon was lovingly built in 2011 from a single native Pilon tree from the mountains of Costa Rica. This Balinesian inspired villa, has been constructed with a meticulous attention to detail. Nestled in the surrounding jungle, Casa Pilon offers a beautiful private saline pool inspired by the dark sands of Playa Negra, luxuriant landscaping, and an open-air design. The center of the house is a massive open-air dining and entertaining area, including a comfortable lounge, full-size billiards table, and dining for 8. Grill dinner on the gas grill, play a game of pool, or relax on the built-in daybeds. The lounge is surrounded by lush grass, perfect for lawn games or soaking up some sun. There are 3 separate bedroom suites, each with an outdoor porch or deck. A massage/hammock platform adjacent to the pool offers an alternative to sunbathing by the pool. 2 minutes from the house there is a private walkway to the magical Playa Negra beaches.
The lounge and dining room flow into a fully equipped gourmet kitchen offering a four-burner commercial grade gas range oven, dishwasher, mixer, refrigerator and freezer, blender, toaster, coffee pot and icemaker. On the other side of the kitchen is a comfortable sofa to relax and stream movies (Netflix, Prime Video etc) with a half bath right next to it.
Two bedrooms privately located in separate wings of the main house offer en-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and king-sized beds. The master bathroom has a large double vanity, dressing area, separate shower, and an in-ground outdoor jacuzzi for unwinding in style or relaxing to the jungle sounds by candlelight.
