Villa Marbella — Playa Negra Heights

Tucked on a quiet dead-end street just 250 m from the black-sand shoreline of Playa Negra, Villa Marbella blends indoor-outdoor Caribbean living with privacy, space, and easy access to town.

Property at a glance

• 4 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms
• Outdoor, open-concept kitchen + indoor kitchen

Step outside and you’re within minutes of Playa Negra’s long stretch of volcanic sand—calm, reflective mornings and dramatic sunset tones are part of daily life here. The beach itself runs for kilometres northeast toward Cahuita National Park, making it perfect for beach walks, beginner-friendly surf near town, and shell hunting. ([Puerto Viejo Satellite][1])

Inside & layout

Designed for relaxed living and easy hosting, the home offers two social hubs (indoor and outdoor kitchens), a breezy great-room connection to the terrace, and four well-proportioned bedrooms so family and guests have real privacy. Materials and finishes were selected for low-maintenance, tropical durability, and the home is offered partially furnished for a hassle-free move-in.

Why it rents

The Southern Caribbean enjoys its own weather rhythm with notably sunnier windows in September–October and again in February–March—precisely when other parts of Costa Rica can be wetter. That means steadier, more year-round booking potential compared with strictly “high-season-only” markets.

On top of those “mini-summers,” you’ll still capture traditional peaks around December–April holidays and mid-year school breaks—a strong foundation for an attractive occupancy curve. (Travel guides also note that the Caribbean side tends to be the best bet for sunshine in September, while the Pacific is in its rainiest stretch.) ([James Kaiser][3])

Area momentum

• Access & mobility upgrades: Local updates in 2024 noted bridge expansions at Puerto Viejo’s town entrances to add two lanes plus a bike lane, improving traffic flow and cycling safety into the core. ([caribbeancostaricarealestate.com][4])
• Tourism demand: Costa Rica posted double-digit growth in the first half of 2024, underscoring healthy travel interest that continues to feed Caribbean destinations like Puerto Viejo.

• Neighborhood feel: Playa Negra Heights remains a low-key, residential pocket—close enough for a quick dash to restaurants, cafés, and services, but just far enough to keep nights quiet and starry.

  Location perks you’ll feel every day

• Beach-close living: 300 m to Playa Negra for dawn swims and sunset walks

• Nature on display: Wildlife viewing from your own terrace
• Convenience: Groceries and a neighborhood eatery within a short walk; Puerto Viejo’s full amenity set in minutes
