Bahia Pez Vela -1 Minute Walk to Secluded Beach, Ocean View and Infinity Pools!

Villa Toucan (BPV No. 6) is a delightful Three Bedroom villa with 2.5 bathrooms nestled in a secluded cove 25 minutes from Liberia's International Airport. Ocean view, 1 min walk to beach, pool and restaurant. You can see and hear both the ocean waves and howler monkeys from this Villa!

The Villa is steps from the beach in the Bahia Pez Vela Resort next to Playa Octotal and 5 kilometers from Playa del Coco. This resort is the ONLY property on this secluded beach that has an abundance of peace and quiet. This villa is one of the beach area villas (second row from beach) so it is an easy, less than a minute, walk to the beach, main pool and restaurant. You can hear waves of the Pacific and chatter of the howler monkeys in the nearby trees from this fully equipped two level home and see Hummingbirds check out the flowers we've planted just for them. You'll also have unlimited access to our small gated community's two pools, restaurant (Soluna Beach Bistro) and sea kayaks. The resort has wireless internet, accessible from the villa.

At low tide, you can walk to Playa Ocotal which is a bigger beach and has a few restaurants and hotels. It's otherwise a quick (5 km) drive to Playa Coco which is a bustling town with tons of water sports, restaurants and shops. There are plentiful activities near the villa including scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, whale watching, bird watching, and canopy tours. You can even get a massage on the beach.

The Villa has a living room, full kitchen and dining area, outdoor patio with seating area and bbq and three bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The Master BR has a king bed, private bathroom and outdoor balcony. The second bedroom is perfect for a family with kids or a couple having one queen and 2 twin beds . The third BR has a queen bed and fold out couch (folds into a large twin/small double). The living room couch also folds into a full bed.

Villa also has high speed fiberoptic wireless internet to keep up with work (if you want), ceiling fans and air conditioning so you can tailor your comfort level, washing machine - dryer, a washer-dryer so you can pack light and stay fresh, fresh linens and beach towels, TV with Amazon Firestick to access your Amazon, Hulu, Netflix accounts, microwave, dvd player, dishwasher. and many kitchen accoutrements (blender, toaster, coffee maker).

Within a short drive there are ample opportunities for all the activities Costa Rica is known for: hiking, birdwatching, canoeing, white water rafting, canopy tours, turtle watching, hot spring hopping, monkeying around with monkeys, wildlife watching, coffee plantation tours, mountain biking, horseback riding and more.

Villa Toucan is within 1.5 hour drive of three volcanoes
(Tenorio, Miravalles and Ricon de la Vieja), several national
parks (Palo Verde, Ricon de la Vieja, Tenorio, Santa Rosa,
Playa Grande) and dozens of day trip activities including
bird watching, canopy tours, fishing, horseback riding, rafting, hiking, scuba diving, and turtle watching. The two Costa Rica most famous tourist destinations: Arenal Volcano and Monteverde Cloud Forest are a 2-3 hour drive away. The concierge at Bahia Pez Vela can arrange all of these excursions and activities. Or just sit at the beach, enjoy the peace and quiet, get a massage and do nothing. Whatever suits you!

Henry was amazing for helping us prepare for travel. He answered all of our questions and provided us with great information prior to our arrival. The location was right on the money. We travelled with 4 kids and 5 adults and we all had a great time. The pool was well loved an the ocean being steps away made the kids vacation. We will be booking again!

Beautiful beach

What a lovely vacation at Villa Toucan. Jackie and Cesar were very friendly and accommodating. The air conditioner broke and was replaced the same day. The owner of the property was also very prompt to respond to our inquiries. We used local taxis to get to Coco Beach for grocers and some meals. Walking is virtually impossible given the hills and heat. The location is extremely peaceful and we enjoyed sitting outside to bird watch. The beach truly was the highlight for us. We did some snorkeling and saw plenty of fish along the rocks that surrounded it. It was perfect for swimming and had a sandy bottom. This is our 4th time to Costa Rica, we love the local people who are so friendly.

A Hidden Gem

We rented Villa #6 in Pez Vela for a short stay in April 2023. We loved the Villa. It had everything we needed. The Kitchen was well stocked with all the things we needed to cook our own meals. Sitting outside at night was wonderful, the lush landscaping is full of tropical plants and trees. The beach is a short walk ( a block ). There is a pool that only the members or renters can use so it is quieter and more private. We ate at the restaurant by the pool. Their food was fabulous. If you like a challenging hike, you can walk from Pez Vela Beach to Ocotal Beach. We would surely rent there again. Side Note: this was during Easter week and all the local people flood the beaches, because Pez Vela is more private the beach was not overcrowded like the other beaches. And the sunsets are out of this world beautiful!

This villa was perfect for our family. The resort is down the road from Playa Coco where you can get groceries and any other supplies you might need.

Paradise in Costa Rica

First of all, we experienced such generous and thoughtful communication with Liz and Henry, who made our entire experience flawless and perfect. They gave us so much advice, which was invaluable as it was our first time to Costa Rica. Our family of 6 adults spent one week at Villa Toucan, which exceeded our expectations. The furniture and decor is comfortable with some updates. While we did think it could maybe have more chairs in the living room for the number of adults we had, there was plenty of space for us all to stretch out. The beds were all very comfortable (We slept so well!); there was a fabulous dining table and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed to make some wonderful meals. We were also grateful for an abundance of beach towels and a laundry room. The location of the townhouse for us was excellent, with close proximity to the beach and pool -- this made going to the ocean oh so easy! And the resort's restaurant (by the pool) is very good. We ate there for New Year's and thoroughly enjoyed it. The nearest town, Coco, is about a 12 minute drive away and had some excellent grocery stores and a fresh fish store, as well as numerous restaurants. We loved that we were in a quiet beach of our own, which was never over crowded. Everyone (residents, guests, staff and locals) was very friendly and we definitely feel we want to return again and again to Villa Toucan and its gorgeous location. This was by far one of our favorite vacations!

Beach and Quiet

There were six of us (3 adults and 3 kids) and we had a fantastic time...the kids were water logged at the end of four nights. The beach was quiet and the on-sight restaurant was good too...although I would recommend a trip to the bay over and Father Roosters. Lovely birds as well as Howler monkeys. We did a few day trips to parks and pottery - perhaps a little far but looking at the map, I don’t see a great alternative so would not slight it - about 60-90min drive one way. Although Playa Coco is right next door and all the food and entertainment amenities to boot. Would certainly recommend and hope to be back. Thx G

Wonderful Stay at Villa Toucan

Our family of 4 had a great week at Villa Toucan. The description and images of the villa are very accurate. We enjoyed having coffee each morning on the outdoor patio and watching the birds and monkeys. We spent many days hanging out at the pool and going back and forth to the ocean. The beach is very private and the water calm. We did a lot of snorkeling along the edges of the beach/cove and saw a lot of very cool and colorful fish. The restaurant at the pool is an added bonus. The food and service is great, and the kids especially enjoyed the smoothies and ice cream. All in all, a great trip. Thanks for sharing Villa Toucan with us!

Excellent location amongst the group of villas!

Good location, good time! The restaurant on the site has the best service and best food within 15 Km (10 miles) Great, clean pools and wonderful proximity to the ocean! The unit was spacious and clean, but needs the plumbing; toilets, faucets, counter tops upgraded to 2018 standards. The office staff, pool and restaurant staff were exceptional. With the plumbing and other upgrades completed, I'd give a 5 star. Norm Mole PS For what I paid for the Toucan unit I could rent a brand new two bedroom, two bathroom unit 2 minutes away from Pez Vela for THREE MONTHS (no pool and not close to the ocean/beach .

We spent 3 nights/4days at Villa Toucan. It was perfection!! Stunning quiet beach, very comfortable condo with everything we needed. We were a large group, but never felt crowded in this roomy, well appointed unit. The staff were very friendly and helpful. And the owners, Elizabeth and Henry were super helpful with suggestions on what to do and see nearby. Would definitely recommend Villa Toucan to family and friends and look forward to another visit in the future!!

Lovely black sand beach with great swimming

Our family of 5 adults spent two weeks at the Villa Tucan over the holidays. The listing description was mostly accurate, and the property was very clean. Photos show the rooms exactly as they are; the villa is more spacious than the photos led us to expect. We appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit. The owner intends to make some updates which will improve comfort and decor. The location is truly beautiful, on a tiny black sand bay with views of the gorgeous coastline to the north. The gardens are lovely and immaculately maintained. The owners are extremely responsive, and on-site management is very good. We love, love, loved the beach! Fabulous swimming. A lot of local families also walk in to use the beach during the day. The pools are really nice, not too crowded even at high season, and the on-site restaurant is a local favorite. If you want breakfast out, you'll need to drive to the Coco Coffee Company or another restaurant. Check the most recent TripAdvisor reviews for restaurants; there is a lot of turnover. Be aware that most reviews are raves no matter what the quality--people are having a good time here and no one is too critical. You will want a rental car. Parking is covered and at the door of the villa. The nearest town, Coco, is about 10 minutes away. Driving is very slow because of road conditions and a great amount of foot and bicycle traffic; other drivers are not aggressive during the day, but sometimes at night an impatient driver may pass you in a rush. We saw no accidents or other road problems during our two-week visit and did not feel that driving in Costa Rica is difficult or dangerous in any way. Coco is a small but lively beach town filled with tourists, expat Americans, and locals. Watch your step! There are no sidewalks, and most of the paved areas are uneven. Souvenir shops and bars abound. Supermarkets are well stocked and open 7 days a week. The new Diamante Eco-Adventure park in Matapalo, about 45 minutes to the south, just opened in December 2015. It will be a lot of fun when all the features are open. The zip lines are operating now and are spectacular. The owners have an extensive list of recommendations for activities, and many can be arranged through the office. Important: Check web sites before your trip, and bring a list of possible activities so you won't be at the mercy of the very slow Internet at the villa; it often quit working during our visit.
