Property description

La Paila is unique among most of the villas you will find!
-- broad panoramic views of the Pacific ocean are unparalleled. The house is one of highest looking into Samara bay and valley offering dramatic views. Light changes throughout the day finishing often in spectacular sunsets over the Pacific. 
-- staffed by a husband/wife team who will prepare meals, clean house daily, do laundry and keep the pool and grounds in top shape. Relax and enjoy yourself! The staff live in a separate house on the property providing security and availability but also privacy.
-- La Paila is designed with a huge open air living room that contains dining, sitting, entertainment and game areas. It boasts no walls so that you are directly connected to the views, breeze and nature! (All four bedrooms are secure and air-conditioned).
-- La Paila is very private (and tranquil). We have only two close neighbors neither of whose houses can be seen. 

For your entertainment there is satellite TV with VCR/DVD, Bose stereo (with Ipod hookup) and free WiFi. BUt you can also laze in the hammock or lounge in the pool! We also have ping pong and backgammon tables and other board games, a volleyball/badminton court, darts and horseshoes! Take the boogie boards with you to the beach or use in the pool!

Nature abounds all around: flocks of parrots fly by each morning and evening, monkeys will visit the trees, and maybe you'll see a coatimundi! 

The sunsets can be stunning but also look for the Milky Way stretching across the sky, fireballs, green flashes, moon rings and rainbows! 

Use the villa as a secluded retreat for pure R & R or as a home base for day trips. The daily destination for most?: just five minutes away is the iconic, palm lined, almost two mile-long Playa Carrillo (Carrillo beach), a certified 'blue flag' beach of Costa Rica (means it is safe and clean)! It offers unparalleled beach strolls, jogging, swimming and sea shelling. Horseback riding is available on several beaches. Deep sea fishing for marlin, tuna, swordfish and mahi-mahi. Turtle watching is at nearby Playa Grande and Playa Langosta. Snorkeling. Zip lining through jungle canopies. Surfing. Dine out in nearby Samara at numerous fine but casual restaurants. Explore the surrounding teak plantation. There is a zoo in Carrillo and a crocodile to see. Enjoy lunch or golf at Punta Islita and on the way explore Camaronal, a national wildlife refuge. You will not run out of things to do!
