Amazing Beach House on Bahía Bellena | Villa in Paquera
3 Bedroom Villa in Tambor, Paquera
This beautiful bayside beach villa is right on Tambor Beach in Bahía Ballena (Whale Bay, located within the gated community of Los Delfines in Tambor, Costa Rica. The home is one of a kind in this gated community as it sits at the edge of a park, thus having more privacy than the rest of the development. (I especially like to hear and watch the howler monkeys in the trees in the park 25 ft from the front door. The other morning, I saw over 20 in those trees, some with babies hanging onto moms.)
When I first walked into the house I was blown away by the view through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the whole front of the house with an incredible view of a beach paradise. (I swear, it looks like a picture postcard, complete with palm trees, broad sandy beach, and beautiful blue ocean. I'm pretty sure the gods photoshopped that view!)
The downstairs has an open floor plan with a large dining/living area and a custom kitchen with teak wood cabinets and new appliances. The extended living room has a semi-private double size day bed with its own full bathroom. The two sliding doors open to a patio with a sectional couch, a small raised table and stools, and a large live edge wood table that seats up to 10 people covered by a new porch roof which, along with the surrounding palm trees, creates a perfect covered outdoor space. There's also a gas grill for cooking outside and a large hammock waiting for you to lay down and read a book or take a nap.
Up the staircase are the three bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom and again with the floor to ceiling windows! The master suite has a king-sized bed, a large bathroom with ocean views from the shower, and a large balcony along two sides of the bedroom overlooking that fantastic view with many fans. (I love to sit on the balcony in the early mornings in the cool breeze, watch the scarlet macaws swoop by in pairs and just marvel at the view. I also love sleeping at night with the doors open listening to the ocean waves.) The other two en-suite bedrooms also have a wall of floor to ceiling glass.
This villa sits on an expansive, 4-mile beach with nice soft black sand...easy to walk/run on, and a very gradual slope to the beach. (I counted them today...it's 75 steps to the water at high tide; 240 steps at low tide, depending on the phase of the tide). It's not a great surfing beach since it's in a bay, but it's a fantastic swimming beach. However, the previous owner says she could surf here sometimes. For your enjoyment, there’s surfboard, boogie-boards, some snorkels and mask and fins, and lots of floaties. I also have 2 pickle ball sets, a bocci ball set, and horseshoes. Oh yes, and there's a nice pool just about 25 steps from the patio that we share with seven other houses. (My new early morning routine is to run on the beach, cool off in the ocean, have a dunk in the pool, and then eat breakfast on the balcony. Did I mention the incredible view?)
There are lots of places to go and things to do in the area. Within Los Delfines, there is a beautiful 9-hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, and a volleyball court on the beach. Often there are free exercise classes at the restaurant on the beach by my house. Or how about a boat tour to Tortuga Island for snorkeling and lunch on the beach...or a visit to the Curú Wildlife Refuge, horseback riding on the beach and into the mountains, hiking to local waterfalls and swimming in their pools, coastal or deep sea fishing with local fishermen, whale watching tour, taking an ATV tour in the area's jungles, snorkeling or scuba diving, experiencing a Montezuma zipline canopy tour and jumping off the cliff over a waterfall, going on a night boat tour to swim in the bioluminescence, or exploring the well-known surf towns of Montezuma and Santa Teresa for some great restaurants, shopping, surfing, great sunsets, and fun nightlife? And when you're done with the adventures and hustle and bustle, come home to the relaxing peace and quiet of your Tambor beach getaway. (I'm sure it can get busier, especially during Easter Week, but I've rarely seen more than 10 people on the whole 4-mile long beach at one time. More often than not, I'm the only one on the beach. It's like I have my own personal beach and bay!)
There’s a small, but well-stocked, convenience store within the community, a (slightly) bigger store in the town of Tambor just down the road, or a couple of bigger grocery store about 20 minutes to the east in Paquera and 20 minutes west in Cóbano. There's also a Sunday market with fresh produce, German meats, Italian market, fish and seafood, bakery goods, and artesan clothes and crafts. If you don't want to cook you can stroll over to the beachfront restaurant just down the beach half a football field from our house, with good food and very friendly owners and karaoke and dancing Thursdays and Saturdays. There are many incredible restaurants in the area as well.
Only about 3 hrs from San José, depending on traffic, across a ferry, or a 30-minute ride in a small prop plane to the local Cóbano airport only 20 minutes away. Come make yourself at home at a true tropical paradise! (Can you tell I'm in love with this house?...and the views!! I must be dreaming.) #CostaRica #Beachhouse #CostaRicaBeachHouse
