Villa Mer

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Carefree vacation memories will be yours at this beautiful beach home just steps from the ocean in Tivives. Not only is the home inviting with its coastal charm and decor - including an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area - but the outdoor garden and shady, green spaces are exquisite as well.

You will find yourself not wanting to leave the lazy hammocks and chaise lounge chairs surrounding the crystal-blue private pool, nor the shared time spent with loved ones at the outdoor covered patio and barbecue grill - with an ocean view! And speaking of views, no one will want to miss out on a morning coffee or favorite evening beverages during sunset while perched on the rooftop patio, a most pleasant way to both begin and end the day.

Inside, this gem of a home features a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to whip up delicious homemade meals for the crew. Use the free WiFi to search for a traditional Costa Rican dish and give it a try! Both bedrooms feature comfortable beds and smart TVs for added convenience. There are two modern bathrooms, both with showers. Look no further for your next tropical getaway - it's all here.

This location is equally convenient and secluded. There is a local dining spot less than a mile away and a hiking spot called Alto de las Mesas just three miles away.

No Hot Water
BUYER BEWARE No hot water and beach is dirty. I contacted Vacasa before confirming reservation to verify had hot water due to previous review. I was told I would have hot water but never did. The pool water was warmer than the shower. The company was notified as soon as we knew there was no hot water. Beach is very dirty due to ships waiting to get into port and dumping garbage while waiting. We did see monkeys and birds which were beautiful. Sorry for the bad review I tried to work with you.

An Unforgettable Beachfront Retreat Surrounded by Nature
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beachfront house VILLA MER that exceeded all expectations. This remarkable property not only offered stunning views of the ocean but also immersed us in a natural paradise, complete with swaying palm trees, colorful macaws soaring through the skies, and playful monkeys and raccoons in the surrounding trees. The house itself was a haven of comfort and convenience. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare delicious meals with ease, while the comfortable beds ensured a restful night's sleep after a day of exploration. The presence of amenities such as reliable Wi-Fi, access to Netflix, and hot water further enhanced our stay, providing entertainment and comfort at our fingertips. What truly made this experience exceptional was the opportunity to connect with nature. The sight of guacamayas gracefully flying overhead and raccoons added a touch of magic to our days. It was a joy to witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat, creating unforgettable memories for both my children and our beloved pets. The beachfront location was simply breathtaking. We spent countless hours building sandcastles, taking long walks along the shore, and basking in the beauty of the ocean. The tranquility and serenity of the surroundings allowed us to unwind and truly appreciate the wonders of nature. I cannot recommend this beachfront house enough. It seamlessly combines the comforts of a well-equipped home with the awe-inspiring beauty of its natural surroundings. Whether you're seeking a memorable family vacation or a peaceful retreat with your pets, this property offers an unforgettable experience. We left with hearts full of cherished memories and a longing to return to this idyllic haven by the sea.

The Place, in Paradise!
Everything was great. The beach house was wonderful and had everything you could need or think of. The location was excellent, not front beach, at The Beach 😉. Loved the private pool and the outside deck! The owner was wonderful as far as responding and answering any questions! Would definitely book again in the NEAR future.
