Nestled high above Playa Carrillo, one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches, this recently constructed modern retreat offers unparalleled ocean views that will take your breath away. The expansive outdoor deck is the highlight of the property. Furnished with comfortable loungers and a dining set, it's the perfect place to unwind while listening to nature all around you. You'll be able to relax at a gorgeous infinity pool that was just finished in July of 2025. This brand new home offers two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with an open kitchen and a beautiful natural teak ceiling. Step out of the sliding doors onto the huge deck and enjoy fantastic ocean views. You can see all the way to Cabo Blanco in the South and towards Samara in the West. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and a dedicated workspace. The second bedroom has two single beds that can be moved together to create another king size bed. The kitchen offers an oven, dish washer and a huge fridge with an icemaker. There is a small laundry area with a washer and a dryer. If you have to work, the home offers fiber internet that allows for videoconferencing. It’s a quick 5 minute drive down to Playa Carrillo, a pristine beach lined with coconut trees - voted one of the prettiest in Central America. The place is ideal for a family or two couples travelling together. We'd be delighted to welcome you at Casa Elicia! The road up to the house is steep in some parts. It is well maintained and you won't need a 4x4, but we do recommend an SUV during the rainy season (May-November). ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Safe ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Unit size: 1,076 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73980000/73976100/73976037/24ba52a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spectacular Ocean View, Private Pool above the Beach, 35 Minutes from Airport Ocotal Beach - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=73976037&PinnedHotelID=73976037&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110500000/110494100/110494029/w780h683x122y0-a91c1946.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa with Private Pool and Outdoor Space.
