Fantastic Ocean View Penthouse in Punta Leona

Extraordinary ocean view penthouse in a tranquil park for members only. Home is 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 balconies, gourmet kitchen, huge master suite, terraza, private covered parking, laundry and pool. Located next to "Playa Blanca" one of the top 7 beaches in Costa Rica. If you want privacy, security, tranquility, a fantastic view in a beautiful home on the ocean, this is the place for you.

Great surfing, restaurants, hiking and site seeing nearby. Just an hour and a half from San Jose International.

If you want spacious tranquility on the ocean, this is the place for you. The Penthouse is top floor, with a huge terrace that overlooks the ocean. By day enjoy seeing the beautiful distant shores of the Nicoya Peninsula, along with whales, pelicans, macaws, and parrots , and at night enjoy the far away lights of Puntarenas.

The home was completely remodeled, and newly furnished in 2017, thus giving a new appearance. Home also includes 55" and 50" smart tv's with Netflix, cable and high speed wifi. We are located at the end of Punta Leona on a cul-de-sac so we have no traffic or traffic noise. Just waves, birds, and ocean breeze!

Guests will have the entire home, private parking garage, private laundry, pool, and grounds, including free access to Playa Blanca (about an 8 minute walk) and Playa Mantis. (While we don't provide bracelets to the private club, guests will still enjoy and have access to Playa Blanca through the central entrance)

Our goal is for you to have a fantastic vacation. Because we live here in Costa Rica, we are always available to you by phone, text or email as the need may be.

We will provide you a map and directions to Punta Leona, and the location of the home within Punta Leona. Because of the controlled entry into Punta Leona, we will need to provide the guard station the names of all in your party. You will pick up the keys at the final guard station called "Puntos de Leonamar" directly before the condominium.

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Excellent stay! My only issue was the A/C auto-shut off linked to doors and windows. This should be turned off as it was quite disruptive and uncomfortable at times for a vacation rental.

Amazing condo with gorgeous views
My family of five had a wonderful time at this gorgeous two-story condo. My husband and three teenage daughters loved our time together in this very spacious and lovely condo. We especially loved the views from the two balconies. We enjoyed coffee on the main balcony and the sunset and starry nights each night from the huge rooftop one. Gilbert was very helpful and had everything we needed in this wonderful home away from home. We rented a golf cart which made our stay absolutely perfect. It was just a few minute ride down to the beautiful beach of Playa Blanca which is ranked one of the top beaches in Costa Rica and is only accessible by the people within the private area of Punta Leona making it not very crowded. We had a wonderful time each day on this beach. I would highly recommend renting the golf cart, and Gilbert made it so easy to get in contact with the owner of the golf cart company within this resort area. There is one restaurant and ice cream shop and market accessible to you while you stay here, or you can buy a day pass to the resort area of Punta Leona to have access to the private club with restaurants, pools, etc. other restaurants were about a 12-15 minute drive away. We absolutely loved this house and you cannot beat the views of the ocean! It surpassed our expectations! There is also a shared pool, but we mostly had that to ourselves. We would definitely come back and stay in this lovely condo. I would highly recommend this for your stay on the ocean.

Beautiful Views and private beach
Great place to stay with awesome views and a beautiful beach. The downside is that there is no parking area to leave car while at beach. You have to leave at condo and walk back and forth. The going isn’t back but returning is a bit difficult with the steep climb.

Absolutely beautiful and clean condo with amazing ocean views and quick access to the beach (8 minute walk). Great outdoor living space with multiple decks. Only downside was challenges getting the AC too cold/too hot and never just right throughout the night. Communication with owner was great. Very responsive.

Spectacular views & peaceful location!
Highly recommend this property! Great communication with Gilbert leading up to our stay, and throughout the stay when we needed. Was provided a detailed list/binder of local recommendations that was super helpful as it was our first time in CR. Renting a golf cart is a MUST with going back and forth to the beach. Playa Blanca was wonderful for snorkeling, and less busy vs our usual Spring Break destinations in the US. Great location for a family (3 teenage boys) who enjoyed the culture and Pura Vida lifestyle. Surfing, snorkeling and National Parks not far. Enjoyed the pool, and the amazing views. Drive into the complex is about 15 minutes, but liked the security and tranquility of this property. Miss my morning coffee on the balcony watching those beautiful Scarlet Macaws! Ocean view is spectacular. Our family made some great memories here, and hope to be back in the future!

Our Favorite Stay in Costa Rica
My family and I (all adults) recently went to Costa Rica and travelled all over the country staying at multiple VRBO's; this was our favorite stay. The check-in process was extremely smooth, and Gilbert was checking in with us every step of the way. The condo itself was beautiful and clean, and we saw lots of macaws in the nearby trees! The checkout process was just as smooth, and Gilbert again checked in with us to make sure everything went ok for us during our stay. We would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone staying in Costa Rica! The only con to this property is the drive in Punta Leona- the brick road is not very well maintained and is very bumpy, but all in all it was an amazing place to stay. If we ever go back to Costa Rica we will certainly plan to stay here again!

Beautiful upscale property
My husband and I stayed here with our 12 and 15 year old and had a fabulous time. The condo is gorgeous, and having access to Playa Blanca is fantastic. We saw so many macaws! It's a VERY steep walk to the beach, though, so you either need a golf cart or someone to pick you up and drop you off if you can't manage the walk. You also need to plan ahead for meals and bring all your food in because it's a long way to grocery stores or restaurants. If you're looking a for a peaceful, private vacation home with unbeatable views, this is the spot for you. The owner's detailed directions and restaurant/store recommendations also proved to be very handy and accurate. Five stars!

Best VRBO Ever!
Came down to Costa Rica to explore and booked a few VRBO’s this one stood out and had been the best rental I have ever stayed at!! The host was very informative of the area, communicated very well and timely, and the view/location was breathtaking. I will rebook this every time I return to Costa Rica. It’s better then a 5 star resort!!!

Beautiful Location - But Lots of Noisy Construction starting at 7AM
The property is in a beautiful location. My bride and I were so excited about visiting this location, but were surprised with the noise from the construction site right next door. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on our first evening, but awoke around 6AM to a HUGE amount of noise, cutting, banging, etc... My bride said: I wish they would of told us. I did call the owner and he was able to have the construction start at 7AM. We really came there for peace and quiet, after the long Covid season, loss of her mother we just wanted to hear the birds and re group etc. The owner did offer to give us a free night on our next stay, but I don't Know when we will be traveling (2000 miles) to that area. I've promised to make it up to my bride and plan a second honeymoon to someplace quiet this summer. Again, the owner explained it was beyond his control and was always available to us. The area is beautiful, we enjoyed the green mountains, Zip lining, horseback riding and more. The owner provides a nice book of local things to see and do. In the end the construction got us out of bed early and we probably were able to see more things in the area than we may of otherwise.
