Puntarenas Villa 1634

Are you searching for a luxurious beachfront villa for your upcoming vacation?  Someplace to recharge your mental batteries while soaking in a tropical swimming pool surrounded by views of the ocean and nature?  Maybe to celebrate your birthday or anniversary with family and friends in a private setting?  Or, a beachfront location for the kids with lots to do?   If that is your dream, then Villa 1634 in Costa Rica is your dream come true!

Villa 1634 is located in the Los Delfines Golf and Country Club - a gate guarded, oceanfront community comprised of 134 acres and 6 kilometers of beachfront.  Guests of the villa are also entitled to use the amenities of the community such as the golf course, the Rancho restaurant and bar, the clubhouse, etc..

Villa 1634  is a spacious and luxurious 5 bedroom, stand-alone villa on a half an acre of lawn and gardens with 120 feet of private beachfront access.  Walk off the extensive, ocean view patio, past the beachfront infinity pool and plant your toes in the warm sand lined with palm trees!  Ah, the good life outside the villa…and, there is much to match the good life inside the villa, too!

Entering the villa is through a large foyer decorated in a Tiki motif with chairs and plants lit up by a skylight overhead.   It has views to the ocean and flows into the living area.

Villa 1634 open floor plan features 5 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms.  All bedrooms are on the first floor, making for easy access.  There are 8 beds in total – 1 king in the Master and 7 queen size beds in the other 4 bedrooms.  The Master Bedroom is oceanfront with views of the surf and direct access to the extensive covered, beachfront patio.  Recommended capacity of the villa is 10 to 12 guests or more, depending on the mix of adults and children, extended family, etc..  Daily maid service, on site concierge assistance, gardening and pool care is provided.  A chef with a weekly meal plan is an available extra.

There are two dining areas.  One is inside next to the ocean view living room and the other adjacent on the beachfront patio outside.  Because of the balmy beach breeze, guests invariably choose dining there! The chef’s kitchen is off to the side, between the two dining areas and it also connects to the large oceanfront living area.  The kitchen also has ocean views.  The two side by side dining areas can be used separately, or arranged together.

Off to the side of the foyer is a television entertainment center room that could also be used for a kids playroom.  The open floor plan of the villa creates a sense of spaciousness with the ocean in view most of the time.

A spiral staircase in the living room leads to a second floor “Sky Room” social area with a refrigerator and mini-bar, with panoramic ocean and beach views.  It leads to an outside, open air Sly Deck with tables and chairs and sunshade umbrellas.  For those who must check into the office or wish to surf the web, there is a computer desk in the Sky Room, situated so that you can see the views below as you work!  High speed internet access is provided throughout the villa by two carriers for redundancy.

There is so much to do or not to do, depending on your level of desired activity!  At Villa 1634,  a  full compliment of pool and beach toys is provided, including 6 boogie boards and numerous inflatables to toss into the breaking surf and ride!  Or, guests can just relax in the oceanfront infinity pool with their favorite smoothie or adult beverage and watch the mesmerizing surf break on the shore and recharge their mental batteries!

Villa 1634 is also within a scarlet macaw wildlife regeneration zone and the colorful birds frequent the almendro trees on the property.  At times, you will see monkeys and iguanas scamper across the grass or in the trees, and occasionally, a Costa Rican deer will cross on the beach!  The property is host to much wildlife!  Also, the villa has a wood burning firepit area next to the beach for nighttime get-togethers.  There are no lights on the beach or in the bay which also makes for great viewing of the stars and milky way!

On the beach in front of the villa, turtles often lay their eggs in the sand and a conservation group at times collects the eggs and 6 weeks later releases the hatchlings to the sea.  A guest favorite is also walking down the beach to the local Tambor airport landing strip that services the area.  The arriving and departing local hop flights pass just over the heads of waiting adults and kids on the beach!

Outside tours at the villa?  A full selection of local tours can be arranged by our concierge.  Some of the providers, like horseback riding tours and half day fishing tours, will pick up guests directly from the beach in front of the villa to start the adventure!  Other tours offered are Tortuga Island for snorkeling, a Montezuma town and waterfall tour, zip lining, bio-luminescence tours at night, ATV tours, a Cabo Blanco National Park tour, etc..
