Trunks sprout in the great room and leaves wave outside this treehouse-like villa in the Costa Rica jungle. Two terraces offer up forest and ocean views, and sliding teak and glass walls make the house feel as though it’s grown up out of the lush landscape. It’s a 3-minute walk through the trees to the surf break at Playa Guiones, whose sandy bottom and quieter vibe are well suited to beginners.

 This vacation rental beckons you outdoors with a deck stretching the width of the house, an infinity pool, loungers set in the sunshine, a barbecue, and covered sitting and dining areas facing the ocean. A second deck has its own sitting and dining spots. Wi-Fi keeps you connected to friends and family at home, air conditioning keeps you comfortable, and laundry facilities are there for your convenience.

 The walls of this luxury property have three layers: a teak panel, glass and a screen, which you can close for privacy or open to let the breezes flow through. The open-concept living room and fully equipped kitchen gets its warm, welcoming vibe from teak ceilings and floors, and tree trunks supporting the ceiling add to the fresh-from-nature feel.

 The casa has two bedrooms with king beds, including one with its own terrace and one with a honeymoon-suite-worthy balcony and al-fresco bathtub and shower. The third bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bunk bed. All three bedrooms have private en-suite bathrooms.

 If you’ve ever wanted to surf, a Costa Rica holiday is the time—and with Playa Guiones a 3-minute walk from the villa, you can practice on your own whenever you want or book a lesson with Safari Surf School, 6 minutes away by car. If you’re visiting between July and November, drive to Ostional National Wildlife Refuge to watch olive ridley turtles come ashore to lay their eggs.
