Incredible Ocean Views, Private Pool, Fully Equipped Villa in a Gated Community

Casa Olas Azul is a modern, fully equipped villa situated on 2 private acres within the very desirable and safe Costa Verde Estates. The 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom property is nestled in a lush, vibrant cloud forest more than 1,400 feet above sea level and is teeming with wildlife.
Plan to spend plenty of time outdoors at Casa Olas Azul. The infinity pool is breathtaking, and the weather is absolutely perfect to hang around on the poolside lounge chairs or grill some fresh fish on the barbecue. In addition, a landscaped tropical garden highlights the backyard foliage.
Throughout the property, there are incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and the famous Whale's Tail at Marino Ballena National Park, a rocky reef that stretches more than a mile out to sea and is completely exposed during low tides. It truly is a sight to behold as nature works its course each Costa Rican day.
The modern kitchen at Casa Olas Azul is perfect for making gourmet meals. It features an island with granite counter top and stainless-steel appliances including refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, blender, ice-maker and all the cutlery you'll need to prepare perfect feasts each day of your stay. Next to the kitchen is a living area with two sofas, a flat-screen television and DVD player. The villa also comes equipped with fiber optic Internet service, a secured safe for your valuables as well as a washer and dryer unit.
The master bedroom features a luxurious king bed and beautiful ocean views, while the second bedroom offers garden views and contains a pair of twin beds that can be combined to form a comfortable king size bed. There are air-conditioning units in each of the bedrooms. Overall, it's an ideal setup for families with children or for two couples.
Casa Olas Azul is located in the Costa Verde Estates Community, about 15 minutes off the coastal highway and almost directly centered between the towns of Dominical and Uvita, where you can find excellent restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies and unlimited activities such as surfing, diving, fishing, zip lining, and more, The road to Costa Verde Estates features both dirt and concrete surfaces, and a 4×4 vehicle is required. There is a security gate to enter the community with a full-time guard on duty. The community is extremely safe and incredibly beautiful. Because it’s located high in the cloud forest, the temperature at Casa Olas Azul is very pleasant, often 10 degrees cooler than down at the beach.
As guests in the Costa Verde Estates development, your group will have access to an outdoor tennis court, a workout room, a large outdoor picnic area and a helicopter pad in case of medical emergencies or if you just feel like taking a helicopter to San Jose instead of driving!! Tennis rackets and balls are provided by the house, so there’s little need to pack your playing gear for the trip.
Casa Olas Azul sits is in a prime vacation destination of Costa Rica. From outdoor adventure to indoor luxury, this is the spot to be for viewing remarkable wildlife – or simply kicking your feet up poolside and reading a good book!

Important: Pool Maintenance is done Tuesday and Thursdays and landscaping is done Tuesdays at 7:00 am.

Heaven on earth
We stayed at this property for 5 weeks! My heart ached a little when it was time to go home. The comments about needing a 4 wheel drive are accurate. Oscar, the best concierge in the world, helped me with renting a vehicle since I could not find whether the rental vehicles were 4 wheel drive on the websites. From the time I secured this house rental one year earlier, Oscar was always helpful, friendly and immediately responsive whenever I communicated with him. It was wonderful being greated every morning by yellow throated toucans and pendulum birds...more often than not a coatimunda strolling through the yard. Grunts from howler monkeys could be heard every morning and evening, though we never saw on the mountain. We did however, see capuchin monkeys 3 times...and lots of tropical birds and butterflys 🦋. Mostly I was charmed by Lizzie, a Jesus lizard (common basilisk). She likes hanging by the edge of the infinity pool and having the water wash over her feet. She is not real shy and I could be in the pool a foot away and she would just look a me curiously when I talked to her. The house....just lovely! There weren't any spices or condiments left by previous renters so if you're going to stay a while, you might want to bring you're favorite spices in a ziplock. Spices are pretty inexpensive though. Also, I would recommend bringing a few extra face cloths...one face cloth, bath towel and hand towel for each of 4 people, plus a pool towel. ❤

Beautiful!
The house was everything shown in the pictures. Takes about 20 minutes of 4x4 1st & 2nd gear driving to reach the house from the main road, but that's definitely part of the adventure that gets you the spectacular views from the house. Scala and Bar Jolly Roger are great food options closest to the house. Can't say enough good things about the house and its private lot. We enjoyed seeing toucans morning and evening each day. The cody was cool to see as well, but it will definitely go after the trashcan after you put the first bag in it - so keep the bungies tight. We hope to return to this house in the future!

Beautiful villa, stunning view
As noted by many, the drive up to the property is an adventure. But it's definitely worth it. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The views are amazing. We were visited by toucans and other birds as we lounged by the infinity pool. We had a very relaxing stay and were sorry when it was over. Oscar was super helpful. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous views and closeness to nature
The property is exactly as described, and our property manager Oscar was very responsive and wonderful. The only problem we had was the off-roading feeling we had reach time we got out to explore other places, roads to the property are bad. Rest the views, the property itself were worth it.

You can rent a piece of paradise!
This property is absolutely perfect. I usually try to add some constructive criticism but with this home I am 100% happy. We were just two and the place was perfectly sized, even with two more it would work well. We spent most of time time outside gazing at the magnificent view and I suspect you would too. The house is stocked with essentials and very, very comfortable. A highlight was being greeted within minutes of our arrival by a flock of Toucans that visited regularly each morning. You need a 4x4. Fact! Enjoy

Spectacular secluded getaway
Don't let the drive from the highway discourage you, it's so worth it! The roads are very well maintained, just really steep so 4wd is a must. Besides, once you get there, you never want to leave. We were so happy with the time spent there, it was very private, and the views were absolutely captivating. One of my many favorite features was the unique shower which opened up into a lush garden area that was like the garden of eden. Oscar our concierge was so helpful. Truly an unforgettable experience and I cant wait to come back.

Breathtaking Views
My family stayed here for 7 nights. A fantastic home tucked into the jungle. The views are really amazing. We spent a lot of time in the pool gazing out at the vista. We highly recommend a stay here. The only thing that we thought could be improved upon was the router for the internet was old and therefore the connection wasn’t as good as it could have been. A back up generator could also help during the blackouts. Aside from this it was spectacular.

Amazing View
Absolutely impressed with this property. The view and the home itself, was so nice and well kept that I never wanted to leave. Could have sat by the pool all day with a view like this. Our concierge Oscar was without a doubt the best resource on this trip, he was always available for help or questions. He even went on our white water rafting trip with us!! 5 stars for Oscar! Oscar also escorted us up the mountain on arrival to make sure we found our way perfectly. Our first trip up the mountain was a little intense but got better each trip up and down. If this home is on your list just go ahead and choose this one. I would hands down come back to this place over and over again. Pura Vida :)

Beautiful Rain Forest Vacation Home
If you’re looking for amazing views, this house is for you! High up in the hills outside of Dominical and Uvita, it’s a great house with a great property manager. He was in constant contact with us as needed for different things such as booking adventures and power outages. Things you need to know for this house: the 4x4 car is not an option. It’s a fun and amazing drive getting up to the house on (mostly) unpaved roads for 4 miles. If you’re not the adventurous type, this house might not be for you. The drive is worth it though as the views you see in the picture are 100% what you get. We saw Toucans every morning, usually 3-4. We had a friendly Coati come by our house as well (pretty much a Costa Rican raccoon). There were 3 frogs/toads that came by every night to join us next to the pool. This is Costa Rica, so just know your power might go out and flicker every so often, but just make the best of it and enjoy the amazing views and environment. I’ve already told my friends and hope they get to experience this house if they make the trip down!
