"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." Jacques Yves Cousteau

The sounds of the ocean and fragrant tropical forest in Guanacaste are like no where else on earth. Blue green water tickles the charcoal-colored beaches competing with blazing sunsets that seem to last forever. These every day experiences reach deep into one’s soul living in Costa Rica. Playa Carrillo and resorts Guanacaste Costa Rica feel secluded and yet are close to a relaxing beach town where barefoot beach bars, surfing schools and horseback riding on the beach are the staple. It’s the perfect place to unplug, disconnect and live forever.

Small coastal beach towns can make it challenging to find high quality vacation and second homes in a close knit community. The good news is folks who desire luxury real estate Costa Rica away from the high-density touristy areas of Tamarindo and Flamingo Beach have an excellent choice at Las Ventanas del Mar in Guanacaste. If you blink your eyes when you're there, you might think you’re in a southern California neighborhood perched high above the cliffs overlooking the thundering Pacific Ocean. Las Ventanas del Mar has all the makings of a chic California gated community but instead is built in a low density paradise where coffee plantations, waterfalls, volcanos and a bountiful sea are your neighbors. 

Atlanta based real estate developers and custom home builders Gary and Matt Carter have done it again by creating another architectural masterpiece set along the sea. The new home now under construction is expected to be completed in the spring of 2015. The highly anticipated 3 bedroom/3 full and 2 half baths home has dramatic views and carefully thought out architectural designs. For example, each bedroom has a private terrace, the kind of terrace you won’t want to leave. Features include two stone ceilings, one with a leaf impression that will leave you gazing at the ceiling speechless. High ceilings and tall glass windows that showcase the breathtaking 100-mile views. The 5,000 square mountaintop home is designed with an extremely private infinity pool and an outdoor kitchen located on the third level's sun deck and outdoor living area. At night, it’s the place to see a billion stars and dream.

The community’s design is timeless and the construction team has spared no expense in making sure that all the luxury residences will stand the test of time. Las Ventanas del Mar is one of the finest resorts Guanacaste Costa Rica. An intimate 22 home resort-style oceanview gated community with extensive amenities such as:

  • 24 Hour Manned Gated Entrance 
  • 9,000 Square Foot Resort-style Infinity Edge Pool and Jacuzzi 
  • Community Gardens Poolside 
  • Two Acre Fresh Water Lake Stocked with Fish 
  • Three Lake Ranchos Entertainment Pavilions with Gas Grills 
  • Two Lighted Tennis Courts 
  • Bocce Ball Court
  • Outdoor Gym 

Within a five minute drive down the mountain is the picture perfect beachcombing beach of Playa Carrillo lined with skinny palm trees. The jagged shore is nick named Crocodile Rock because from the mountain top, the horseshoe cove beach looks like a crocodile protruding into the sea. When the tide rolls out, it exposes a huge wide sandy beach filled with exotic sea shells. Costa Rica is known for world class sportfishing and Playa Carrillo is a one of the best spots to set out to sea for the big catch. With all the natural beauty surrounding you in Guanacaste, it’s easy to understand why Costa Rica has earned the title as the "Happiest Country in the World". Just 10 minutes further is Playa Samara, a charming small beach town where you’ll find fresh produce, meats, local artisans and homemade ice cream. Popular restaurants in town include El Lagarto, Cafe Carola,  Gusto and more. 

Folks who live or have visited the luxury real estate Costa Rica describe Las Ventanas del Mar as “service and hospitality are unrivaled anywhere in the world.” Yes, you can stay there for a week and try out the lifestyle up close.
