3 BEDROOM COSTA RICA BEACH VILLA FOR RENT
| Villa Toucan is nestled in a secluded cove near Playa Ocotal, on the Northern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. The villa is part of the Bahia Pez Vela Resort complex. This resort has two pools, a restaurant, ebony beach, two sea kayaks, free wireless internet, a concierge/office and abundance of peace and quiet. Villa Toucan is one of the 25 beach side villas (as opposed to the 15 mountain side - oceanview villas). Only one row of villas separates you from the beach. The pool, restaurant and beach are a minute walk away. You can wake up in the master bedroom, go outside onto your private balcony and see and hear the ocean and the howler monkeys in the nearby trees. (Of course, the villa is air conditioned and daily maid service is available.) We've also planted many different flowers around Villa Toucan, particularly the kind that attract hummingbirds. As described below you can either partake in many different activities nearby or just relax on the secluded beach and listen to the waves while getting a massage. The villa sleeps up to 10 and has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms in addition to a full kitchen, living room and dining area. One BR has a king bed, one BR has one Queen bed and one twin bed, one BR has two twins and a fold out futon type thing that makes a large twin (for an adult or two small kids). The living room couch folds into a queen and we have an air mattress that can be inflated to sleep one more soul. The Villa has a dvd player, bbq, washing machine and dryer, microwave, dishwasher and full set of cookware and dinnerware.
