Luxury Beachfront Villa in Akoya

Villa Akoya (meaning “pearl” in Japanese) is a unique beachfront luxury rental gem.
The villa is designed by renowned Costa Rican architect, Benjamin Garcia Saxe, and built by Gad Harel, the top custom homebuilder in Santa Teresa; it is decorated by Sofia Interiorismo. Villa Akoya mixes elements of tropical architecture and contemporary finishes with an ultra-luxury design.
At Villa Akoya, you will enjoy the best of privacy and luxury nestled amid nature with the comfort of knowing that all of the amenities, activities and excitement of Santa Teresa are right in your backyard.
This brand new, three-bedroom luxury villa is centrally located on the world-famous white sand beach of Santa Teresa. Surrounded by nature, with coconut palms framing your view of the bright blue Pacific Ocean, this is the ultimate Santa Teresa vacation rental for relaxing and enjoying tropical paradise.
Three spacious and stylish bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms, big picture windows, and are outfitted with high-quality bedding and bath linens. All bedrooms have king beds. The villa comfortably accommodates up to eight persons.
An open concept kitchen and living area features high-end appliances, four bar stools at a large countertop island, and a dining table with seating for eight persons. The raised ceiling provides abundant natural light. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors that allow for seamless indoor-outdoor tropical living lead out to a wide terrace next to a sparkling and refreshing pool directly in front of the beach. This is the perfect spot to enjoy Santa Teresa’s magical sunsets. A low bamboo fence keeps the property private yet does not interrupt the stunning ocean and beach panoramas.
Comfortable and luxurious, the villa is fully-equipped and complete with beautiful amenities. There is 100MB Wi-Fi throughout, and a TV in the master bedroom. Air-conditioning and ceiling fans keep you cool on the hottest beach days.

Beautiful property

The house was amazing - great pool and great views. Easy to walk to shopping and restaurants. Loved having fresh fruit and coconuts in our fridge daily. Concierge was so helpful with things to do - even contacted fisherman so we could buy fresh fish! Hard surf break right out front and we needed to walk/drive to other areas of the beach to surf. On a busy street for parking/sunset.

Amazing villa

In our humble opinions, we think we stayed in the best beachfront house in Santa Teresa! Villa Akoya is so beautiful, perfectly located on the beach - with easy access to surfing, beach bars and restaurants, and to town amenities. We spent a lot of time in the pool even in the rain - which happened a bunch of times since it was June. The interior stayed nice and cool and dry and was well equipped with whatever we needed. The daily cleaning service was very convenient- fresh towels! And the security guy was so very nice and kept us feeling secure. Though I felt very safe in Santa Teresa anyway. Our concierge, Milena, was the best - she set us up with taxis, our buggy at a low cost, ideas for activities and restaurants, and was immediately responsive to all our needs/questions. Thank you Milena! We can’t wait to return (maybe in the drier season…haha).

Even better than the photos!

Akoya Villa was absolute perfection in paradise! The daily housekeeping, groundskeeping and security allowed for complete relaxation. This property is near the public beach access but we never worried about anything. Nir was an incredibly attentive and communicative property manager, catering to our every need. We were traveling with our 6 month old grandson and Nir made sure everything was perfect, from getting us a crib to lending us his very own high chair to use. Villa Akoya is so close to town where there are some of the best restaurants around. We also walked on the beach to several yummy restaurants! They have access to all the activities you can possibly think of. We even hired a chef one night and he cooked an absolute delicious Argentinian birthday dinner for my husband. Nir even brought over a birthday cake for him. So very thoughtful and special. We had such a relaxing stay and look forward to returning. Oh also, it's pure bliss falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves! Pure Vida!

We enjoyed Santa Teresa very much, and I believe we stayed in the most awesome house in town. It doesn’t get better than this! You have to be informed about a few things: there will be a housekeeper on the property every day, and a guard outside every night. Guests cannot use the washer and dryer, the housekeeper will do laundry for you. Great managers, very helpful and responsive. Enjoy Vila Akoya!!

Santa Teresa Paradise

The property itself is incredible! The house is right on the beach and offers everything you need to enjoy a relaxing and fun time. Greeted with tons of fresh fruit from the hosts and had a daily cleaning n laundry which was great! You can walk to endless bars, restaurants and little shops and having security each night was great. Very safe area but home being right on beach is reason for nightly guard. Only challenges with being on the beach is the bugs that get into the home which wasn’t ideal, and it can get noisy at night with beach goers. Overall though it’s an incredible property with tons to do and again the location is spectacular

You can't have a better location than this home. Right on the beach with every modern amenity needed. The sunsets are spectacular right from the back deck. The pool was a perfect temperature and the beach has white sand with waves you can stay in all day. Walk to restaurants and grocery. Cleaning person each day and a guard all night. Nir and Lee were fantastic. They were responsive to every text within minutes. They made our vacation simple and streamlined with assistance in booking everything from taxi rides to restaurant reservations. It doesn't get much better.

We could not believe how beautiful and practical this home was. It is right on the beach and right next door to a great restaurant called Manzu which is also on the beach. You will not want to leave the house because everything is there and when you do Nir and Lee will help you with whatever activities you like. We went surfing, ATVing, zip lining, hiking, swimming in rivers with waterfalls and horse back riding on the beach and in the mountain. We will deffenetely be back.
