About this property

La Luxuria Executive Villa -**** HIGHEST RATED AND BEST DEAL IN THE AREA!! ****

Somewhere on the Nicoya Peninsula there is a tiny surf town where rock stars, supermodels and pro surfers come to play. This is a place where the sun shines a little brighter, friends laugh a little harder and life is a lot less serious.

This brilliant place is called Santa Teresa and it’s just far enough out of the way to keep the crowds out but close enough to paradise that it’s worth going an extra mile for.

We built a very special hilltop house here to entertain our friends and family. This is a very private place, just a kilometer up the hill from spectacular beaches, surf spots, bars and restaurants but guarded by a gatehouse and hidden by the dense rain forest that surrounds it.

Of course we share this space with the resident monkeys, parrots, toucans and all of our other beloved forest friends. Sometimes if we’re lucky, we get to watch the whales swim by in the turquoise ocean below with our morning coffee. What a life!


Whales and Dolphins: While not everyone likes to go fishing, it's worthwhile at least taking a boat tour of Cabo Blanco just south of Santa Teresa to view the migrating whales, dolphins, manta rays, turtles and a wide array of stunning sea life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning on having a raging party here, save us all the trouble, and please don't rent this house, the power will be cut immediately, police will be called, and charges will be filed.

Costa Rica Reunion

This was an amazing property and vacation all around. The balance between going into town and just relaxing at the top of Santa Teresa was perfect. The pool was phenomenal-so were the accommodations as a whole (bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious-kitchen was very well stocked). We’ve been to ST 5 times now and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed.

The best place in the area

The place is beautiful and the pictures don’t lie. That said there are a couple warnings. First, the property is located up a STEEP hillside. You will need a AWD or ATV to get up and down. Second, it’s in the jungle, there will be lizards, bugs and ants.That said, the property manager was awesome and recommended numerous excursions and restaurants — all of which were awesome.

Month in Paradise

This was the third year in a row our group has spent a month in Costa Rica. Each year we have rented a home in a different area of the country. This house was our favorite. Lori, the property manager lived down the hill was always available, responding within minutes to any questions or issues which arose. For example, the espresso machine was replaced immediately when discovered it was not working. Our group loves cooking. This kitchen was well stocked, various choices of coffee makers, sharp knives, multiple sets of dishes and a water filtration system. The infinity pool was kept crystal clean, the water warm and the view exceptional. We ate all our meals outdoors on the shaded patio, reserving the indoor dining table for "office space". The Wi-Fi worked well, even with 3 or 4 Zoom calls. The house sits at the top of a steep hill. We decided not to rent a car or ATV, as we preferred the daily exercise of walking down and up from town and the extraordinary beach. (If you have mobility issues transportation will be required.). We hired cabs for larger or heavier grocery runs. If you love wildlife, this is the house for you, pizotes, monkeys and a wide variety of birds & butterflies frequent the property. We highly recommend this property for families or 2-3 couples.

CR Vacation

The place far exceeded expectations. The pictures are good, but the property is better. We arrived to howler and white face monkeys in the yard. There were butterflies everywhere. The pool overlooks the pacific where we watched the whales breaching on several days (bring good binoculars). The house has very well equipped kitchen and the beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms were great. Laura is an exception host and offered any assistance we needed. Our only complaint is the house was so good, we rarely left to experience Santa Teresa....I guess we will just have to come back.

Absolutely Perfect!

My family and I had a wonderful time at La Luxuria. The house is beautiful and stocked with all the things you need. The cleaning and grounds personnel are great and Laurie, the concierge, was very helpful with information about local businesses and setting up excursions. Both my wife and mother-in-law have mobility problems and were not able to go on any excursions, but the house is so awesome and well-appointed that they were thrilled just to relax there during the days. The house also serves as a great, secluded home base from which to go on adventures. My kids and I went to the beach several times, hit all the local restaurants, went horse-back riding on the beach and zip-lining through the jungle. Best vacation ever!

A little gem above Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Beautiful property surrounded by the jungle with awesome views of the ocean. Road to get there is very steep. Definitely need a 4x4, but it’s worth it. The house is spacious, with AC in every bedroom. Kitchen is super functional. The pool was probably the best feature. We spent a lot of time in it. Felt safe the whole time. Great property managers.

Best of the best

We come to Costa Rica often and stay in different towns and houses. La Luxuria is the only house that we have stayed in more than once. It is a slice of paradise and we will come here again. Everything is always perfect from the cleanliness to the accommodations. Our host was extremely helpful and answered any questions we had. Love this place 11/10.

The hills of Paradise

This place was a great place to stay in Santa Teresa. The town is small but a very busy surf town and this place was just far enough and just close enough to be perfectly situated in the town. The home is as advertised. We saw monkeys, parrots and other exotic animals almost daily. Highly recommend this place to anyone. The owner and property manager were also very helpful and always returned our texts and calls promptly and efficiently.

Amazing house, wonderful staff

From the moment you pull up (the very steep hill) this place takes your breath away. The pool, landscaping and view all compete for top billing. The house is attractively furnished with every amenity. The housekeeper is unobtrusive and hard working, the concierge responsive to all questions and delightful to work with. Would return in a heartbeat!!!!

Santa Teresa Adventure

We just returned last night from Santa Teresa, never being in Costa Rica I was a bit nervous, but it was everything we hoped it would be. The home was amazing just as listed, I actually feel it was better in person and that was an amazing feeling. We were there for 1 week, it was the perfect length of time. We enjoyed exploring the area on ATV's, horseback, we zip lined. the ocean was so warm, we surfed and enjoyed the tide pools. The snorkeling is not the best if you are one that snorkels. The food was great and the people were so nice!!! Loved our trip
