If you are looking for a magnificent location with a million-dollar180-degree commanding panoramic ocean view that invites you to experience its relaxing Pacific zen, this is your Shangri-La. Villa Serendipity is a 4-bedroom Deluxe unit whose top-of-the-complex corner vantage point offers the acknowledged best view of any villa in Pez Vela. Surrounded by resplendent plants and visited by familiar local birds, you can bask in unobstructed vistas of the Gulf of Papagayo, the Bay of Culebra, and Playa Ocotal. Splendid offshore rock isles, and sailboats in their bay moorings below, beckon you with their inherent quiet beauty.

Please view the two-minute video to understand not just the dwelling, but the experience that is available to you. [Note: VRBO is revamping their site, and has temporarily deleted the video. I hope to have it back online soon]. The villa's exterior was recently completely redone, with new roof and a fresh, updated look.

The main villa features three upstairs bedrooms, two of which have full ocean-view balconies. The separate Casita, a self-contained efficiency unit overlooking the spectacular infinity dipping pool view, offers privacy and quietude, as well as ground-level entry for disability access. The variety of bedrooms available, along with 3-1/2 baths, offers maximum flexibility for families. Fiber-optic Wifi, entertainment center and flat screen TVs allow you to tailor your media … or to leave them off and go listen to the howler monkeys!

This recently renovated tasteful villa, with backlit kitchen and pleasing local artwork, was designed around the concept of Serendipity: The phenomenon of events or occurrences that develop by chance in an agreeable or beneficial way. Leave your problems at home, show up with an open mind and an open heart, and let the flow of life and nature bring you unexpected gifts. The light sea-green and sky-blue hues of the villa’s walls will offer you welcome Costa Rican respite in comfortable, non-ostentatious fashion. Outdoor BBQ and a variety of seating options let you tailor your relaxation.

In addition to the private dipping pool, a second, larger secluded infinity pool is two minutes’ walk away, right next to the jungle. Walk a few additional minutes down the hill, and you encounter our open-air Soluna Restaurant, which has just reopened under highly-acclaimed new management. It is adjacent to another spacious pool, which overlooks the resort’s ocean beach called Playa Azul. Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available on-site, and an array of local outdoor activities are accessible by talking to a gem named Cesar in the Office. Some of the many adventures at your disposal include sundown cruises, sport fishing, diving and snorkeling, Diamante Eco Adventure Park, surfing, ziplining, hiking, massage, yoga and much more.

With the vibrant street life of the town of Playas del Coco less than 10 minutes’ drive away, and Liberia International Airport 35 minutes away, your accessibility to options is easy. Playa Ocotal and Bahia Pez Vela comprise one of the very few Pacific Costa Rican communities that are a cul-de-sac (end-of-the-line) destination. By not being a typical “through” beach area, with the bustle of transiting cars and people, Bahia Pez Vela is revered for its tranquility and quiet natural atmosphere, as well as its 24-hour security.

If you can envision watching the entirety of the sunset over the Pacific, while seeing the moon rise above the foothills as you sit next to your private infinity pool with your favorite beverage in hand, Villa Serendipity is your calling.
