3 Bedroom Villa in Islita

Villa Jalapa is a private, family-owned ocean-view villa in Punta Islita, designed for families and groups of up to 10.
Villa Jalapa sits in the hills above Playa Islita, surrounded by tropical forest with sweeping views of the Pacific. Wake to howler monkeys, watch scarlet macaws fly overhead, and keep an eye out for deer, coatis and migrating whales from the pool and terrace.
The house has three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen, indoor and outdoor living spaces, a rooftop terrace and a private infinity pool. The primary bedroom has a king bed, while the other two bedrooms each have two queen beds, making the villa especially comfortable for families, multiple generations or groups of friends.
Experience Islita
One of the things that makes Islita so special is its strong sense of art, culture and community. Local residents have celebrated their heritage through colorful public art, a community museum and a women’s art cooperative, giving visitors an unusually accessible way to connect with the history and creativity of the village. We strongly encourage guests to take time to explore it.
Days here can be as relaxed or adventurous as you want. Walk down to Playa Islita, spend the afternoon by the pool, or explore the surrounding coastline. Nearby Camaronal Wildlife Refuge is known for nesting sea turtles, wildlife and surf, while Corozalito offers another beautiful and uncrowded stretch of coast. Surfing, horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, yoga and other activities can also be arranged locally.
The beaches, restaurants and shops of Carrillo and Sámara are within a 30-minute drive for an easy morning beach trip or a sunset dinner.
During your stay
Our longtime housekeeper and local host, Lisbeth, lives nearby and helps care for guests throughout their stay. Daily housekeeping is included, and she can also prepare delicious traditional Costa Rican meals for an additional cost.
We are also happy to help before or during your stay with transportation, local recommendations and arranging activities. You’ll have plenty of privacy, with local support nearby whenever you need it.
Good to know
Villa Jalapa is located in a quiet and relatively remote part of Costa Rica, which is a big part of what makes Islita special. A vehicle is recommended to make the most of the surrounding area. During the rainy season (May–November) we strongly recommend a 4WD SUV; during the dry season (December–April) a regular car can generally reach the villa, although an SUV is more comfortable.
All bedrooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans. The main living area is not air-conditioned but has ceiling fans and large sliding doors that open for natural ventilation.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the villa—fast enough for video calls, video streaming and everyday browsing.
Wildlife is part of the experience here. Monkeys, birds, deer, coatis and other animals may occasionally pass through or around the property.
Guests have exclusive use of the entire villa, including all three bedrooms, the private infinity pool, rooftop terrace, kitchen and indoor and outdoor living areas.

Summary: Fantastic place in a stunning location. We were six, and more than enough room for all. Lisbeth, who is responsible for the home, is a wonderful person and cook! Do not hesitate to ask her to prepare some of her specialities. The location in Punta Islita is unique. This is about a 35 to 45 min drive fro Samara, which includes 25 min along unpaved, somewhat grated, roads. Lots of up and down big hills along the coast. We did it in a front-wheel drive car, but would have preferred 4WD. Once in Punta Islita, you can walk down to the beach in 10 min or walk up to the village in 10 min. There is a small market where you can get most of what young need, and a great coffee shop. Lisbeth can order fresh fish, sea food, and meats!
