Contact Art Guzman - Phone: 8844-5431 Pool, gardens and a private guest suite just a short stroll from the beach and restaurants. Click for 3D-tour Set in a lush pocket of Playa Chiquita, just minutes from the Caribbean Sea and the vibrant center of Puerto Viejo, this beautifully maintained tropical property offers the rare combination of privacy and walkable convenience. Arriving at the property, the first impression is the relaxed outdoor lifestyle that defines the Caribbean coast. The home naturally opens toward a central pool terrace where shaded lounges, a swim-up bar and outdoor dining areas create a welcoming space for gathering with friends or simply enjoying long tropical afternoons. A cold plunge pool and outdoor shower add a refreshing touch after time in the sun or a workout in the home gym area. The beautifully maintained grounds are filled with mature tropical landscaping and flowering plants that bring color, shade and privacy throughout the property. Sloths are occasionally spotted in the surrounding trees, toucans and macaws are frequent visitors, hummingbirds move through the garden, and a wide variety of colorful birds form part of the daily soundtrack. From time to time monkeys pass through, and curious agoutis wander across the garden… reminders of how closely daily life here remains connected to nature. The main house feels warm and inviting thanks to the use of natural materials and a layout that flows easily toward the outdoor living areas. Two spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning provide privacy and quiet, while a half bathroom accessible from the terrace conveniently serves the pool and outdoor areas. A detached guest suite with its own covered sitting porch offers a comfortable and independent space for visiting friends or family. While the bedroom is not en suite, it has easy access to a half bathroom and a very private outdoor shower. Nearby, a separate laundry building keeps the practical side of daily living neatly tucked away from the main home. The property also benefits from thoughtful infrastructure including ASADA water service, a private well, rainwater collection, dual pump systems, storage capacity and two septic systems. Ample covered parking and a well-drained lot contribute to the ease of maintaining the property. Location is one of the great advantages of this home. The beach is only a short walk away, and the surrounding neighborhood offers a surprising variety of amenities within easy reach — pharmacy, beauty salon, organic produce market, Mediterranean and Mexican restaurants, local Caribbean cuisine, excellent Italian and pizza, Argentinian flavors and many other small favorites that give Playa Chiquita its relaxed, cosmopolitan, and welcoming character. Fully furnished, decorated and equipped, the property is ready to enjoy from day one and offers a welcoming place to settle in and experience the rhythm of life on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
