overview
With the best view in Costa Rica’s exclusive Santa Teresa community of marAmar, “Casa Playa Vista” is a unique home.
Inspired by the concept that, "just because you are in the jungle it doesn’t mean that you can’t have all the amenities and comfort of a 21st century, big city loft space." The 2,000 sq ft fully air conditioned home boasts not only a panoramic view of one of the best surfing beaches in Costa Rica, but also every convenience of a modern, urban home.
Two master suites grace the first floor with a king size bed in the master bedroom, and full and queen size beds in the second suite. The upstairs features an open plan living area, with an oversized balcony, and guest bathroom. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen accompany modern amenities like, hi speed internet, a Sonos audio system, and a 50” LED smart flat screen TV. The house also contains an office area with a wifi printer, dining table for 12, indoor and out door couches, and pretty much everything todays multi-tasking traveller needs.
The upper floor leads out to a private hillside, ocean view pool, which supplement’s marAmar’s own luxury family pool. MarAmar’s secure gated community includes 24 hour security, daily maid service, surfboard storage, and ample 4G cell coverage. That plus what has to be one of the best Pacific sunset views in Central America.
A short 5 minutes walk from either the La Lora or Rocamar surf breaks, and a short distance from several excellent restaurants, cafes and a good supermarket, there is no convenience not at arms reach from Casa Playa Vista.
You cannot go far in Santa Teresa without coming across yoga. There are many Yogi’s and a number of great stiudios. Our personal favorite is Pranamar which is run by Nancy Goodfellow, a truly gifted teacher, Nautilus is also great, and 2 minutes walk from the marAmar gates. Our concierge can even arrange for you to have private instruction on the balcony. Where there is yoga, there is always great massage, again, ask our concierge for recommendations.
The 5 star concierge service can also help you with everything from ATV and Surfboard rentals, to restaurant reservations. They can give you the inside scoop on the best weekly ‘locals only’ beach parties and events, and help you with any and all your travel and excursion needs.
We look forward to your stay.
