About the Property

Welcome to our Beachfront Villa, my wife and I built it buy hand. We are located at the north end of Playa Grande, the second to the last house on the beach road about 600 meters from Hotel Las Tortugas. Playa Grande is famous for its World Class surf spots, with 4 right out our beach gate. Its also known for the Leatherback Turtles and green turtle nesting. We keep lights low at night on the beach side so the nesting mothers and emerging babies are not confused. We help folks with day trips, grocery store locations, restaurants, & anything else they may need to have a safe & wonderful vacation. We have a beautiful, landscaped private yard with a shell shaped “cool” pool. 
 
The Villa has 2 floors, 32 feet high roof with large wrap around deck on three sides. The Honeymoon Suite is the top floor. It offers the large master bedroom, 19 foot ceilings, double fans, large AC and views of the entire beach. The bathroom has a tiled shower with hot water. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, 4 burner stove/oven coffee maker, blender and toaster oven. A built-in “U” shaped conversational couch in the living room has 6 inch cushions all around for your comfort. An upstairs sleeping loft has a queen bed and a double bed. You have beautiful views of the beach, surf, wild life and sunsets from the living room, bedroom and kitchen!
 
The upstairs beachside deck is 12 feet wide by 56 feet long- plenty of room for lounging, eating, relaxing, watching surf and sunsets. The deck on the pool side upstairs is 10 feet x 56 feet. The pool is naturally shaded by large trees and greenery. 
 
Downstairs are two large  bedrooms, equipped with double fans, AC, dead-bolted walk-in closet, 10 foot ceilings, small kitchen with small refrigerator, double  burners, coffee maker and toaster oven. The private baths have tiled showers with hot water. Both  bedrooms have king size beds and one single bed.  From these apartments you can view out the double french doors to the beach and surf, while the other set of doors leads you to the  garden and the pool.  
 
There are colorful hibiscus and other plants all around the courtyard that draw butterflies and hummingbirds. 
 
I LIVE ON SITE! PRIVATE BUNGALOW ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE POOL FOR EVERYONE'S PRIVACY. We have been helping folks for 21 years, to have A SAFE & WONDERFUL VACATION.

Great Time

Chris N. May 04, 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa De La Roca. Alan was a great host. If you like surfing, some of the best waves in Playa Grande are right outside his door.

OUTSTANDING location and views- Alan very responsive and kind

The layout of the house was perfect for us. My two 18+ sons had their own rooms by the pool, I stayed in the master in the main house and my brother and 18+ son stayed in the loft in the main house. Plenty or room. We spent a good deal of time on the deck overlooking playa grande and the surf, until the flies showed up.( Feb 23rd)....nothing to be done. Must be fly season, cos they were in local restaurents (Pots and Bowls do healthy and delish) too. Alan was a great host, as was Annia, who set us up with some local tours. Kids loved the ATV's. I skipped that one. The housekeeper (I think Caroline) came a few times, which was very helpful. We took surf lessons, closer to "the Palms" which offered smaller waves suitable for beginners. Rented a car from Adobe. No issues. Struggled with whether or not to get full coverage as my local insurance company suggested, but that brought the bill to close to $900. Decided to get the basic, use my amex card and cut the bill in half. We just drove locally and back and forth to the airport a few times. We didn't do a lot and just loved being right on the beach. Thanks Alan and Annia for a lovely stay at Villas Rocas.

Beach. Sun. Great host. How does it get any better?!

Beautiful beachfront home. Alan is a great host - very helpful and safety mindful. Nearby restaurants; beach is steps away from home. Maria’s help was indispensable! Perfect home for our 8 family members. (Caution! Not a beach for small children; the surf is very strong!)

Beautiful trip to Playa Grande

My Family traveled to Costa Rica over spring break. We stayed at Villa of the Rock and enjoyed our time. The house sits right on the beach and the views are gorgeous. Alan had people there to help us plan our stay and book any excursions we wanted to do. This made is really simple and it was so helpful to trust the people we were working with. Alan was very accommodating and made sure we understood the features of the home and how and when to lock up. The kids loved the surfing lessons, sea fishing, and many meals at Kike's restaurant right up the road. Also ran into a wonderful farmers market on Wednesday evening that was full of local food and art pieces to buy. The house itself was clean and in a perfect location, but it is open during the day which allows some bugs/ants inside. As long as you can look past a few bugs here and there, the house is worth it. It was very clean and we had everything we needed. Had a true Costa Rican feel which is what we were hoping for. The location was pretty close to just about everything. We experienced Sea turtles laying eggs, ocean cruises, deep sea fishing, surfing, zip lines....all were about 25 minutes away in different directions. A really nice central place to be. We loved our time there and would recommend this house.

Incredible location! View is breathtaking!

This was a great house! Waking up every morning to the waves crashing was awesome! Our kids enjoyed exploring the rock and surfing out front. Private location but close enough to several restaurants, surf shop (Frijoles was great!)etc. thank you Kathy and Alan for being so gracious! We definitely had a memorable Pura Vida adventure!
