About this property
Stunning Oceanside Hidden Gem, an Unmatched Vacation Experience
This paradise villa is more than a home; it's an experience.
Nestled in the tropical rain forest 150 meters from the perennial Top 10 beach of Playa Carrillo, the feel and experience of Casa Hakuna Matata is unlike any other.
24/7 ocean breezes and views, this privately gated home is as comfortable as it is encapsulating, with unmatched ambiance and connection to the ocean and nature around us.
The ocean-centric, open space focus and comfortable, peaceful design of the home together combine to provide the foundation for among the most enjoyable vacation settings that can be experienced.
The home is uniquely designed to provide ideal gathering and bedroom experiences.
~ The living, dining, kitchen and breakfast-nook areas are often the center of daily activity. Upon opening the double hand-made wooden doors facing east and the entire wall of full glass doors facing west over the pool and ocean, and you will feel enmeshed in the beautify land feel of the rain forest around us.
~ The 2 family bedroom suites each have full courtyard and ocean views. Each is capable of hosting a family of 4 (8 total), has their own en-suite bathrooms, and generously oversized walk-in closets. The master bedroom is complete with a private balcony overlooking the pool, courtyard and ocean, the first floor suite has walk out access to the pool and courtyard areas.
~ The pool courtyard is so very unique. Surrounded by rainforest around us and the ocean slightly below, with occasional families of monkeys in the trees adjacent to us, it is especially inviting from sunup to well past sundown, so much so that it would be possible to have the vacation of your dreams without ever leaving the Casa Hakuna Matata private compound.
Add to these the ease of access via a small, quiet street, the excellent restaurant resources of Playa Carrillo, the shopping and additional dining universe of Playa Samara a 10 minute drive away, and the newly constructed private 3rd floor, full ocean view office with 200 MB high speed internet, and Casa Hakuna Matata becomes an unparalleled vacation and/or remote working environment experience.
Peace, privacy, connecting to nature combine, to one's self, or to or with those we love - the opportunities for each of these - and lifetime memories - are available at Casa Hakuna Matata.
