The house

Built for long afternoons by the pool.

Casa Joanna is a brand-new, modern home set among tall trees in Pacifico, one of Playas del Coco's gated communities. The living room, dining table and kitchen share one open space, and walls of glass slide back onto the pool terrace.

Outside there's an infinity-edge pool, four loungers, a shaded table and an outdoor kitchen with a grill and sink. Inside, the kitchen has a long marble island, double wall ovens and seats for four at the counter, and there's a PlayStation 5 for evenings in.

Upstairs, the second floor looks out over the canopy to the ocean, and the sun sets right in front of you.

The main-floor king suite sits on its own by the pool. Upstairs are the second king suite and the bunk room, and every bedroom has its own bathroom, so a couple of families or a group of friends can share the house comfortably.

Where you'll sleep

Three suites, each with its own bath.

1 king · en-suite

Main-floor primary

Opens onto the pool-level terrace, a few steps from the living area. Easy for anyone who'd rather skip the stairs.

1 king · en-suite

Upstairs primary

A private balcony over the treetops with ocean views. The second floor faces west, so this is the spot for sunset.

Queen + twin bunk + twin trundle · en-suite

Upstairs family suite

A custom bunk room that sleeps up to four, next to the upstairs king. Kids love it, and it has its own bathroom too.

What's included

Everything for a week or a month.

Walk-in rain showers in every suite
Outdoor kitchen on the pool deck
Laundry room with washer and dryer

Neighbors with tails

A troop of howler monkeys passes through the trees around the house and often stays a few days. You'll usually hear them before you see them.
