Vacation Rentals in Costa Rica

Owner Filip Zak has had a thing for treehouses since childhood and knew he wanted something never seen before, something truly original, as the next development within the striking architectural enclave in the Costa Rican coastal rainforest he and his wife call home. Zak threw down the design gauntlet to Czech architectural team, Archwerk, a firm specializing in wood construction. The result is Coco, an organically-inspired, exuberant cluster of open-air, architectural seed pods created for raw, unbridled jungle living.Wildly imaginative and decidedly playful, the series of cabin rentals in Costa Rica features five cone-shaped structures made of bent wood and opaque white screens, connected via a playful maze of rambling wood decks and suspended staircases, all seemingly afloat above the fertile tree canopy. The pods contain four conical, open-air bedroom/bath suites, each split horizontally by a saucer-like wooden deck that adds open-air living space on platforms with serious treehouse vibes. A playful zigzag of staircases and suspended pathways connects the pods, and there’s a landing fitted with a trampoline and adjacent waterslide for letting your inner child run wild. There are common areas, including a restaurant with seating and a bar (in the fifth pod), plus an extensive deck.The pods’ interiors were designed by Formafatal, who kept décor to a minimum, and the styling focused first on function, without scrimping on playful form. The most dominant design feature is the scarlet wall that serves as the backdrop for the dining pod. Behind it, two refrigerators and freezers are hidden along with cabinets for additional food storage. Beyond the red wall, the cluster’s remaining color palette tends toward a turquoise and pastel pairing that feels a little bit Miami Beach, but also mimics the muted greens, blues and pinks found in the rainforest flora. All seed pods are open to the elements, although they have operable rain shutters to protect the interiors from water and wind during the rainy season.AROUNDInspired by the laws of the jungle, these cabin rentals in Costa Rica pods occupy a privileged perch elevated 300 meters above the Pacific Ocean, within an ambient rainforest inland from Costa Rica’s South Pacific Coast at the aptly named Playa Hermosa, or beautiful beach. The coastal area is set within the Marino Ballena National Park, created as a safe space for humpback whale migration, covering more than 13,000 acres of ocean and over nine miles of coastline. Comprised of mangrove forests, deserted beaches, and thriving coral reefs, local beaches are mostly wide stretches of golden sand backed by rocky coves. Snorkeling is a popular sport, with over a dozen species such as stony and cauliflower coral thriving in the waters. Sea turtle sightings are also frequent. The villa’s privileged positions on high offer seven months of whale watching, with exceptional views out to the Whale Tail, a sand and rock formation on the coast. The surf town of Dominical is located nearby, and abundant natural beauty is the area’s main draw. The nearest services are located in colorful Uvita, a sweet beach community with grocery stores, a health center, and banks. Immediately surrounding the villa, the tropical forest teems with jungle life such as macaws, giant red iguanas, and spider monkeys, as well as vivid tropical bird life including parrots and toucans. On-site offerings for guests at The Coco include yoga and fitness courses and private trainings, a Mayan sauna and massage services, children’s playroom and waterslide, private chef services, and the possibility to book the location for private events, such as lectures, weddings, and retreats. And don’t forget the onsite trampoline and water slide!LOCATIONPlaya Hermosa Dominical, Osa, Costa Rica. Nearest airport: San Jose.BEST TIME TO VISIT: Best weather is from November to April.

<h2>Seed Pods Take Root as Unique Jungle Habitations</h2>
    <p>Four egg-like habitations in the jungle make up the unique Coco cluster, created as fertile ground for adventurous spirits to live in carefree celebration of freedom and imagination, within the luscious organic embrace of vibrant nature. Breaking all architectural conventions, the private, protective “seed” shelters offer a more luxurious, if decidedly playful, take on glamping, combining cushion-dotted, skybridge-style wooden walkways and decks, lounge-if-you-dare resting nets, trampoline landings, and intimate, well-appointed bedroom and living pods suspended above the treetops.<br/></p>

<h3>An Open-Air Habitat above Playa Hermosa</h3><p>The modernist architecture of this villa for rent in Costa Rica is tempered with earthy local design and materials along with stunning views, allowing you to appreciate the luxuries as well as the natural beauty of the region in a laid-back hideaway.</p>

Casa Ceibo, owned by the same family for years, was designed by architect Victor Canas, the same mind behind Casa Cocobolo. Nestled in Montezuma, it offers a tranquil retreat immersed in nature.

<h2 id="aclifftopnicoyapeninsulaarchitecturalvillaenclosedinglass">A Clifftop Nicoya Peninsula Architectural Villa Enclosed in Glass</h2>
<p>Set within a 30-hectare private natural reserve run by a local family, this ultra-contemporary villa, dense with vegetation, its environs teeming with colorful tropical wildlife, is honed of concrete, glass, steel and stone. Designed by Victor Canas, the panoramic glass-enclosed property dominates Montezuma Bay, a Pacific beach immersed by jungle at the heart of the Nicoya Peninsula, a celebrated Blue Zone where residents are among the world’s longest living centenarians.</p>
<p>Three king-sized bedrooms enclosed in glass join four and half bathrooms and a strikingly contemporary, artful common area encompassing the dining, living room and kitchen. For groups of up to 12, the villa can be rented with the <a href="/property/casa-cocobolo">adjacent Casa Cocobolo</a>, insulated by untouched jungle and also designed by Victor Canas.</p>
<p>Rising from the jungle vegetation, the villa’s outdoor areas combine wood decking and concrete and rock terraces with a private river and cascading water feature. There’s an infinity pool spilling towards the Pacific Ocean, a stunning spot with views of Montezuma Bay. And walls of windows all around create a true indoor-outdoor living pavilion in a healing oasis of vegetation, with expansive views that inspire and invigorate.</p>
<h3 id="additionalfeatures">Additional features</h3>
<p>The outdoor area’s architectural waterway feature offers stepping stones and pathways through the water. There’s an on-site vegetable garden, playscape, and a guided walking trail from the home. Housekeeping is provided Mondays through Saturdays, with Sunday available for an extra charge.</p>
<h3 id="around">Around</h3>
<p>Set within the Entre Lomas resort, a private family reserve covering 30 hectares of the Nicoya Peninsula and adjacent to a national refuge, this deep jungle location makes the villa stand as a wildlife bridge, with iguanas, monkeys, butterflies and boldly colored tropical birds residing in the canopy surrounding the home. Montezuma Beach curves brightly below the property, and the villa’s private river with numerous waterfalls and natural swimming pools and its infinity pool allow you to live on a waterfront even as you’re cantilevered above Montezuma Bay.</p>
<p>Montezuma is known as a hippie/yogi outpost at the furthest tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Each Saturday, the town hosts an open-air beachside market known as the Feria Organica, and there’s also an artisan’s market in town, famous for its macrame. The town focuses on sustainable tourism, marking businesses with turtle icons that represent particular strides made, such as the responsible handling of organic and inorganic waste or minimizing energy consumption. Montezuma’s white-sand beach is home to all water sports and beach lounging pursuits, and a trail through the jungle and around some coves leads to Playa Grande, a surfing destination. The Romelia Wildlife Reserve is a turtle sanctuary and hatchery, and the town boasts its own iconic waterfall and a series of cascading pools.</p>

<h2 id="creativepacificbeachhouse">Creative Pacific Beach House</h2>
<p>Creatively combining timber, natural elements, and whimsical sculptural accents across its vivid, open-plan spaces, this contemporary, newly constructed villa at the end of a jungle road stands literally steps from the sea.</p>
<p>The rainbow-shaped beach house offers a unique, aquatic interior décor touch, found in large-scale driftwood, barnacle, and shell-inspired furnishings created by the owners. Beamed ceilings, gingerbread trim, and rich wood floors contrast white beadboard walls, giving the space its airy, tropical beach house atmosphere. And the home sleeps 15, with each of the villa’s five spacious ensuite bedrooms also home to an overflow twin bed, making it ideal for a small group or gathering of families. Step outside to the covered terrace for alfresco living, with seating and lounging, dining, and cooking around the pool and outdoor shower, outdoor living spaces separated from the sea only by the thick green lawn and skyscraper palms.</p>
<h3 id="around">Around</h3>
<p>Located steps from the beach, the palm-insulated home puts the Pacific coastline front and center. Go left at the sand in front of the house to reach Playa Junquillal, a wild sandy stretch awarded one Costa Rica’s Ecological Blue Flags. Or, take a car and head to Blanca Beach or Callejones Beach for more abundant tropical beauty. The town grocery at Junquillal is a five-minute drive, and the local community offers turtle sighting guided tours, snorkeling and diving outings, ATV rentals, rainforest canopy tours and horseback expeditions as well as yoga, spa, massage and a handful of fresh cafes and restaurants serving local, seasonal fare. Tide pools cover the beach right in front of the villa and are great for easy exploring. Or, grab a jet ski or kayak and get out on the water. Eco tour operators lead guided hikes into the jungle and mountains, with hikes including visits local favorites, Rincon de la Vieja, Tempisque, and the Arenal Volcano. Golfers can enjoy the courses at Hacienda Pinilla and Canopy Vista Tamarindo, a bit further away, and the area is well served by wildlife guides, who can arrange inland viewing adventures to see monkeys, iguanas, and colorful tropical bird life.</p>

Jungle Lodge

Set above the jungle canopy with sweeping 180-degree views of the mountains and the Pacific, this beautiful home is comprised of a trio of &#34;pods&#34; that form a modern and eco-friendly treetop habitat. Designed by Costa Rican architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe, the home has been shortlisted for &#34;House of the Year&#34; by World Architecture News, awarded five Costa Rican Binneal awards and has been featured in Inhabitat, Dezeen, Design Boom, World Architecture News and Su Casa Magazine.  Uniquely designed in three independent sections connected by exterior walkways and bridges, the eco-conscious construction was designed for minimal environmental impact utilizing sustainable teak wood, solar power and UV water systems. The large open-plan living room includes a chef's kitchen and dining area and is ideally placed to capture the views, with foldaway concertina doors that create an indoor-outdoor environment. The wood construction is sleek and modern but warm and inviting, with interiors designed Dante Medri. A lengthy bamboo corridor leads to two upstairs bedrooms with awesome views of the shoreline with a third bedroom downstairs. The pool is positioned below the house with perfect placement to enjoy the sunsets. Modern and innovative but with an earthy warmth that gently inhabits the jungle environment, this is a luxurious and unique escape. ADDITIONAL FEATURESHousekeeping and concierge services are included. Services available at additional cost include private chef, grocery delivery, laundry, massage therapist, and babysitter.AROUNDThe house is just a five-minute walk to Playa Hermosa and a 10-minute trip to the charming town of Santa Teresa. The southern Nicoya Peninsula is a particularly blessed corner of Costa Rica. Due to its relative remoteness, it has retained the vibrant beauty of nature unspoiled by over-development. With world-class surf breaks and beaches, Santa Teresa is adjacent to Malpais and offers tranquility in a less densely populated area along a stretch of road with mostly private residences. Manzanillo Beach is to the north and nearby Playa Carmen to the south on the road to the beautiful and protected Cabo Blanco Reserve at the tip of the peninsula.  LOCATIONMalpais, Costa Rica. Nearest airport: Manzanillo (12 mins). BEST TIME TO VISIT: Year round
