Villa del Mito: Pool, Walk to Beach, AC, Wifi, Beautiful Garden, Private
(PLEASE NOTE: you may see on this listing that this property is a 10-minute drive to the beach. This is something the artificial intelligence at VRBO has decided somehow, but it's incorrect. We've tried to correct it, but VRBO won't change it. In reality, it's about an 8-minute walk from Villa del Mito to the black sands and warm waters of Playa Negra.)
Private, quiet, and peaceful, Villa del Mito gives perfect work/life balance. Enclosed within a wall and secure gate, the lush garden and fruit trees attract birds, sloths, and other wildlife. Enjoy time on the spacious patio and by the pool with friends and family, make a festive meal, and walk to the black sands of Playa Negra. Or, relax in your bedroom with separate entrance, bath and AC. The villa has satellite wifi, a dedicated office space, and ample desks in all bedrooms.
Welcome to Villa del Mito. We live here at different times during the year, and we love it! We hope your family and friends enjoy being here as much as ours do.
The living room and kitchen share an open space with vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans. The kitchen island has plenty of prep space and two seats, so several people can cook and gather at once. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to prepare and serve meals, including table linens. Outside the front door is a covered patio with a gas grill and a large dining table.
The three bedrooms each have their own entrance, with French doors opening directly onto the veranda into the garden. They all have new, comfortable mattresses. Each bedroom has its own air conditioner and private bathroom with a large rainfall shower. If you need to catch up on some work, we have a dedicated office space off the patio with a large desk, sofa, and office chair, plus an ample desk in each bedroom. We have 50 mb satellite mesh wifi, perfect for digital nomads. Each of our four routers has an uninterruptable power supply in case the electricity goes out (which it does sometimes, for a few minutes--it's the Caribbean!). The office room is air-conditioned and has a fold-down couch for sleeping.
The pool is beautifully tiled, with a Baja shelf and a fountain cascading water into the pool. Around the pool, there’s a covered ranchito and an outdoor living room, perfect for lounging before or after a swim. There’s an outdoor shower by the front gate for rinsing off beach sand, and an outdoor half-bathroom with sink/toilet near the pool that can also be used as a changing room.
We have off-street parking available for up to three vehicles.
The gorgeously landscaped grounds give you a feeling of tranquility, relaxation, and privacy. A cacao tree greets you as you walk in the front gate; there’s also a large mango tree and a guanabana. Sloths, toucans, parrots, iguanas, bats, kinkajou, and other wildlife visit regularly.
The property is in a quiet neighborhood on a dead-end street, and is entirely enclosed within a wall, with a secure gate. You’ll have the garden, swimming pool, and entire house to yourself.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a coffee maker, and a desk. Housekeeping is available on request.

The Villa surpassed my expectations. The bedrooms were comfy (each had its own en suite bathroom!), terrific wifi (I had to do some work), but most of all, the exterior living spaces were amazing. My group dined outside together every night and lounged by the pool or in the little outdoor living room. Lots of spaces for folks to either convene or be off on their own.

Wow! Villa del Mito exceeded all my expectation. The garden/pool area is so beautiful. Peaceful, but also alive with birds and amazing plants! Check in and communication were excellent. The place is clean and kitchen was well set-up. It's close to the beach and easy to get downtown. This was the perfect base camp to explore this vibrant, funky corner of Costa Rica. I will be back!

Everything was perfect except the water heat and low water pressure in the bathrooms was not very consistent through out our stay and checking in was not smooth

Found a Gem!!!
It was only a couple of nights - but what a gem of a place!
The first thing you see coming in the gate is the lush & gorgeous tropical landscape - all the greens with pops of color from the flowers - even cacao pods!
There are various outdoor ‘rooms’, spaces to sit alone or together - magic when lit at night. The kitchen is well appointed. Easy to cook. There even a nice outdoor grill space - though I didn’t use that.
The bedrooms are comfy, with air conditioning unit that provides a nice respite from the Costa Rican heat. The beds are a bit on the hard side for my taste, but I had good sleep - if was not uncomfortable at all. Nice bathroom space with toilet separate from sink & walk-in shower. Good closet space as well as little bedside units.
We did have to do some computer work - wifi is good. Had no problems working and conducting video calls. If you have the ability to be a work-nomad, this is THE place to go!
There’s a desk in the room with plenty of places to plug in/power up. There also a larger ‘office’ room. Me? I chose to work outside with a view of the plants, the pool, the humming birds, the occasional iguana & toucan.
The best thing? Taking a break from work to just float in the pool.
The Caribbean sea & beach is a short walk away, as is a nice little grocery.
We’ll be back - for part work-nomad & part adventure.
Lastly - when you go, make sure you float in the pool during a tropical downpour. It is awesome
