About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Villa in Guanacaste - private pool and jungle monkeys

  • There is a particular kind of rest that only comes when the jungle is loud, the ocean is close, and nothing on your schedule actually needs to happen. Casa del Sol is built around that feeling.

    The house is in Playa Azul, a quiet, unhurried stretch of Guanacaste’s Gold Coast. The shoreline remains wild and largely undeveloped, which is part of what makes it so beautiful. A short path through the trees leads to the beach in under five minutes—no car required. The pool is private, every bedroom has an ocean view, and howler monkeys move through the surrounding canopy. The pace here is its own.

    THE HOUSE

    Casa del Sol accommodates up to eight guests in four air-conditioned queen bedrooms. Each bedroom has an ocean view, private balcony, en-suite bathroom and large closet, giving every guest a comfortable private retreat.

    The house includes a fully equipped kitchen, with grocery shopping available before arrival through the house manager. There is an outdoor dining area and barbecue, strong Wi-Fi throughout, and a washer and dryer on-site. The main living room has a television, while the bedrooms are designed as quiet, restful spaces.

    THE POOL AND BEACH

    The private pool is at the heart of the house, surrounded by tropical greenery and outdoor living space. Spend the morning at Playa Azul, return for a swim, and enjoy lunch or dinner outside.

    Unlike many vacation homes in this part of Guanacaste, Casa del Sol is genuinely walkable to the beach. Follow the short path through the trees and you’ll reach secluded Playa Azul in under five minutes.

    THE SERVICE

    Casa del Sol is fully managed locally throughout your stay. Housekeeping is provided three times a week and can be adjusted on request. Grocery provisioning, in-house massage and other local experiences can be arranged through the property manager.

    Yoga is available at Azul Hotel & Retreat or can be arranged privately at the house. The hotel is directly across the road and welcomes Casa del Sol guests for breakfast and dinner; simply walk over and pay on-site.

    THE LOCATION

    Casa del Sol offers a peaceful beachfront setting with easy access to several of the northern Nicoya Peninsula’s most appealing communities:

    • Playa Azul: under five minutes on foot
    • San Juanillo: approximately 10 minutes by car
    • Marbella: approximately 10 minutes by car
    • Nosara: approximately 30 minutes by car
    • Liberia International Airport: approximately 1½ hours by car

    San Juanillo is known for its beautiful protected coves, Marbella for surfing, and Nosara for its restaurants, shops, yoga studios and wellness scene. Casa del Sol lets you enjoy all three while returning each day to the privacy and quiet of Playa Azul.

    Surfing, sportfishing, horseback riding, ATV tours, seasonal sea-turtle nesting tours, kayaking, paddleboarding, scuba diving, zip-lining, yoga, massage and guided nature or birdwatching experiences can all be arranged locally.

    Come to Casa del Sol for the rare pleasure of walking to an uncrowded beach, the privacy of your own pool, and the freedom to experience Guanacaste at an unhurried pace.

Wonderful stay & property!

We had a lovely stay with 6 adults & one child at Casa Del Sol. Diego the house manager was on point with everything we needed including fishing, excursions, and general questions. I would highly recommend staying at this property!! Not a single negative I can think of.

Wonderful Stay At Casa del Sol

Casa del Sol was everything we could have ever wanted for our family vacation to Costa Rica; it is absolutely amazing! Four of us including two children (9 and 11) stayed for just under a week over February break. We have been fortunate to stay in many VRBO properties over the years, but I believe Casa del Sol is the best we have ever experienced. The home is very secure, located adjacent to resort grounds, gated and fenced.It is beautifully maintained. Despite being on the beach and next to the jungle, it was impeccably clean upon our arrival. The back yard and pool area is a great private area to enjoy the wonderful Costa Rican weather. The pool is large and in great condition, we spent many evening hours swimming and relaxing after our day’s beach excursions.The house has everything you could ever need for your stay. I can’t think of a single thing that was missing or in dis repair.The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Most importantly, the staff (Diego and Marianna, especially) take great pride in their work and do a wonderful job to ensure everything is perfect for your stay. I am grateful for our time at Casa del Sol.

Fantastic time at Case del sol!

Property was just as described. We loved the pool area, it was wonderful as it had shaded and sunny areas and we loved that there were inflatable loungers for the pool. Diego was fantastic and arranged great outings for us. Mariana cooked for us and it was so nice to have our dinner waiting for us after the long ride from the airport. The resort next door was very handy for eating and their food was very good. The howler monkeys at the pool were amazing, and we wished that we saw more of them. Phyllis provided lots of great information and we ate at the restaurants she recommended and they were all good. We loved the "adventure" as this was off the beaten path, but be warned that the roads are very bad, full of pot holes and we didn't venture too far as a result. We rented a car, but it was quite expensive, and you would probably save money by just arranging transportation. There are no ATMs which made it difficult when vendors required cash. The beach access was not available when we first arrived, but Diego immediately cut a path for us. The beach is beautiful, and we loved walking on it. We took a surf lesson in Marabella and it was so much fun that we can't wait to go again. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We would definitely go again! Thank you Phyllis for sharing your getaway home with us!

Amazing visit and a truly authentic experience in Costa Rica

My family (husband and two boys, ages 13 and 17) and my parents stayed at the Casa del Sol for our first visit to Costa Rica. Staying at this home was so much more than renting a property. We were so happy with the attention and care we received from both Phyllis and her property manager, Diego. Phyllis answered every question we had via the site instantly. She sent us ideas, gave advice, made recommendations—she really helped us plan out our entire vacation, including activities and meals. Once we arrived at the property, the delightful Diego was there to welcome us and answer our every question (no matter how silly or dumb), again, instantly. The house was lovely and comfortable with tons of kitchen tools, pots and pans, and even Tupperware for our leftovers. The layout was great for our group – four bedrooms, with each one having its own bathroom. We loved the pool, especially when the monkeys swung through the trees high above our heads! The beach was a bit of a walk to access, but we were able to swim there. Other activities we loved included ATV’ing in the riverbed, ziplining (a must), horse back riding, and a boat tour on the Tempisque River, where we saw crocodiles, iguanas and capuchin monkeys. We had some tasty local meals and also hired Phyllis’s housekeeper, Mariana to cook a few dinners for us at the house, and that was a really nice option. We were so happy with our experience from start to finish and hope we can come again someday!

Casa del Sol Getaway

We had a wonderful stay. We had originally planned on four couples staying for two weeks which ended up being 3 couples for 2 weeks and 1 couple for 1 week. Everyone was ready for a relaxing holiday which we definitely had. Phyllis was great for answering my questions ahead of time. The house is beautiful and gave our group the space to not be on top of each other. Each room having its own bathroom was very important to us. I read another persons review who said the pool was a deal breaker. So true. We spent every day cooling off in the pool. Having our drinks, reading and listening to our music. The howler monkey came to visit a few times as well as a small family of racoons who came in the evening for drinks from the pool. Diego was the best! I almost felt bad for the amount of things I asked of him for our time there. We chose not to rent a vehicle for our group and rely on paying for rides wherever we needed to go. Diego arranged everything we asked for giving us a price ahead of time. One thing about the location, its not within walking distance for supplies so we made a few paid trips to buy groceries and drinks. San Juanillo and Marabella both have little stores so that is where most of our supplies came from during our stay. The Azul Ocean Resort is right next door so we could always go there for meals in their restaurants. We did that a few times. The beach is an easy walk. Overall it was a great place to stay!

Excellent vacation spot - highly recommended!

Six of us stayed here and it couldn't have been better. The house is very accessible to the beach (30 second walk to the sand) and is across the street from restaurants and the pool. All of us had a bathroom next to our bedroom and air conditioning in each room. The owner arranged a fishing trip for us, which was a lot of fun - we caught red snapper and had plenty for several meals.

Very nice home with all the amenities we needed. The pool was especially valued.. Diego, our local contact was always helpful and available. I would recommend more lighting in the rooms as it was often too dim.

Costa Rica delight

This was a getaway vacation with our family who live on Ontario, Seattle, Michigan and was perfect! The home was fabulous with private ensuites in each bedroom and ample living areas to share. Steps from the ocean and across a driveway from a pool and resort made it ideal for our family. The amenities were fabulous for a bigger group (we had 9 including our grand baby). We hope to be able to return one day!

EXCELLENT PROPERTY

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Casa del Sol. Everything that we could possible need was at our fingertips. The accommodations were top notch. Happy Hour at the resort was a blast. Sunset walks on the beach were divine. We did not want to leave and would return in a heartbeat. We strongly recommend this property.

Guestbook Comment

I stayed at Casa del Sol TWICE last year, and it is a delight. The staff at the Sanctuary Resort are close by, always happy to help, and a genuinely friendly group. The house is gorgeous and newly built, a few yards from the ocean, and very well kept. The zip-line canopy tour is a nearby thrill, and the horseback-riding tour on the beach starts a few steps from the house. Thank you Don & Phyllis for such an amazing spot in paradise!

Great house

The house is beautiful and very private and secure, the pool is big but it is VERY slippery primarily the stairs and it has no shadow. The playa azul is really close but it has a lot of waves and current so it is not safe to get in the water, luckily there are other beaches near that are really beautiful.

AWESOME!!!!!

If you want to vacation in Paradise, this is your spot. This is truly a dream vacation spot. This home is beautiful, spacious and approximately 100 yards from the beach. It is beautifully maintained just as described in the listing. The owner was very helpful and gave tips on things to do and places to go. Love the restaurant at the resort directly across the street. Also, nice pool to enjoy. Enjoyed a spa day and lunch. It was fantastic. I certainly will go again.

Peace, quiet and seclusion

A beautiful vacation home! Well equipped with all the comforts of home. Nothing like falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves. This property is very secluded, you will have the beach all to yourself. Surf is strong so not ideal for young children. There are two other beaches very close to the house in neighboring towns that are great for swimming, surfing and snorkeling. This was the perfect spot for our family holiday gathering.

Quite, relaxing, and close to amenities.

The house is great. Enough kitchen stuff... blender, coffee maker, pots pans, and a small market close by if you need to cook. We didn’t do much of that. Far enough away from the really busy places, but still close enough to enjoy plenty of the country. Even if you don’t venture out, the resort has all you need for dining and stuff to do. Nice gym, nice pool, quiet beach, and a really good restaurant. Excursions can be booked close by also.

Ideal vacation spot in paradise

Casa del Sol is immaculate and very spacious, it is steps away from the Azul Ocean Club Resort restaurants, pool and a beautiful sprawling private beach. Activities nearby include an ATV tour (3-3.5 hrs.) up into the mountains, crossing streams and stopping at several beaches. There is also a Tiki Bar/Restaurant nearby frequented by surfers. Playa Azul is an ideal vacation spot. The Owners, Don and Phyllis were very helpful and accommodating and we are looking forward to our next visit and would highly recommend to friends and family.

Casa Del Sol - Host Phyllis is Amazing

Our trip was excellent. The host was so helpful prior to our trip. She was always quick to respond and answered all our questions. It was our first time in Costa Rica and the house was impeccable. It was exactly like the pictures so clean and beautiful. The house manager Diego helped us plan some fun events. I really can't say enough good things about Phyllis and her team. I would definitely stay there again. There are many close restaurants with good food. It is walking distance to a beautiful beach. We absolutely had the best time. Thank you so much!

Spectacular Home and Location - highly recommend

This was easily the most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. We loved the location, the nearby amenities, and honestly this home had everything!!! We spent every night swimming in the pool being serenaded by monkeys, and the wildlife. We spent the days surfing, SUP’ing, doing yoga and swimming. There’s so many yummy restaurants nearby. We also we’re here during. New Years and had a perfect view of the fireworks! (Many thanks to Diego for answering all our questions!) we will be back! THANK you.

Wonderful Home in Costa Rica

We have stayed at the Casa Del Sol several times over the past couple of years. It has all the conveniences of home, but just look out the windows or sit on the verandas to see you are really in Beautiful Costa Rica. Close to the ocean with the Azul Ocean Club right next door. You can walk to their restaurant for a wonderful meal, or cook at home as the house is fully furnished with all you would need. The home is spotless and well furnished - loved the Costa Rican rocking chairs! Comfortable beds. Lots to see nearby, Playa Juanillo, Octional with the turtle preserve. Tiki Hut with "the best" surf break in the area. Playa Negra and Avellanas are not that far away. Casa Del Sol is a great place to have a wonderful Costa Rican experience.

Christmas in Casa De Sol

A Beautiful spacious home. The waves of the Ocean can be heard in the house, and the location with Azul Ocean Club across the street is ideal. Azul Ocean Club made the freshest food and cocktails (ask for a watermelon mojito) The Costa Rican People are so nice and welcoming. We did an activity a day. Day 1 was Quadding all over Playa Azul from the mountains to the beaches, Day 2 was horse back riding along the beaches, Day 3 was a Fishing trip catching many different types of fish, Day 4 going to see Sunset at La Luna, Day 5 was shopping in Tamarindo, Day 6 was chillin at Azul Ocean Club pool. Day 7 sadly leaving Paradise!
