(PLEASE NOTE: you may see somewhere on this listing that this property is a 10-minute drive to the beach. It's something the artificial intelligence at VRBO has decided somehow, but it's incorrect! In reality, it's a 5-minute walk from Villa Abejita to the black sands and warm waters of Playa Negra.)

Villa Abejita has plenty of room for family and friends. A large gated property with pool, air conditioning in all bedrooms, lovely garden, covered outdoor dining, workspaces, and wifi. Tropical birds, sloths, and iguanas frequently stop by within the garden walls.


A small grocery store and boutique hotel with restaurant and beach bar are nearby. Shops and dining in Puerto Viejo are just 10 minutes by car or tuktuk, or shed your shoes and take a stunning half-hour walk along the water to town!

This house is very homelike. We live here several months each year, and we love it!

The living room and kitchen share a large open space with vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans. The huge kitchen island has lots of counter space and a counter seating area, so several people can cook and gather at once. We love to cook, so the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you'll need to prepare meals, including cooking oil and spices. Just outside the kitchen door is a covered patio with a gas grill, an outdoor sink, and a large table and chairs for outdoor dining.

There are two workstations in one of the bedrooms, and an additional tall desk that folds out into a standing workstation. We have 50 mb satellite wifi, perfect for digital nomads. Each of our four routers has an uninterruptable power supply in case the electricity goes out (which it does sometimes, for a few minutes--it's the Caribbean!). The smaller workstation desk can be easily moved into a different room if desired.

The bedrooms have new, comfortable mattresses. Each bedroom has its own air conditioner and ceiling fan. Throughout the house, large windows let in plenty of natural light.

The pool is surrounded by a tiled deck, with three fountains cascading water into the pool. A spacious veranda abuts the pool.

We've taken measures to make the house more physically accessible. A concrete ramp leads up the side of the veranda, eliminating the need to climb steps to access the house. Doorways are wide, with no thresholds. Each shower contains a grab bar for added safety, and the bathroom attached to the primary bedroom has a grab bar next to the toilet.

We have secure, off-street parking for up to three vehicles.

The gorgeously landscaped grounds are fully enclosed by high walls, giving a feeling of tranquility, relaxation, and privacy. The mature trees on the property attract sloths, iguanas, toucans, and other jungle creatures. You'll have this whole space to yourself!

    Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay at this home! The house was welcoming, clean, well stocked and in a great location. A quick walk to the ocean, restaurants and a store. Shelly and Laurie were very accommodating, messaged to see how we were doing and had a lot of useful knowledge about the area, what to see and where to go! The pool and yard were beautiful! We 100% recommend this home for a family wanting to experience the Caribbean in this beautiful country!

    Villa Abejita is as advertised; lush and beautiful yard with a refreshing pool; secure, spacious, and well appointed villa; short walks to the spectacular beach of Playa Negra, small grocery stores, and at least two great restaurants. It was an easy drive to Puerto Viejo, Cahuita National Park and other wonderful locations. Laurie and her local colleagues were very responsive, friendly and helpful. Five stars and two big thumbs up!

    The outdoors of this property is beautiful. Nice pool, great outdoor dining area and a stunning garden. The indoors needs some love. There is no dishwasher and all the plates and glasses are plastic so cleanliness is questionable. The furniture is very dated. We had rainy weather while we were there so we spent more time than we had hoped inside. The couch is so uncomfortable. There isn't really any good furniture for lounging.The place needed a bit more of a general clean. Very dusty and dirty under the beds and cobwebs in the ceilings. It smelled quite musty when we arrived.The area is lovely. Location of the property is great.

    We felt so lucky to have this beautiful home to return to after a day at the beach or hiking! The outdoor shower is ingenious, pool was refreshing, and the yard is plant paradise. The beds were comfortable, air conditioning in the bedrooms was so wonderful at night. We loved spending time cooking outside and listening to the geckos at night. Great communication with the property management company as well. Would absolutely recommend!

    We loved this house! The pool was perfect, we spent many hours just floating, drinking beer & watching the wildlife in the yard. So many birds & lizards. It was private, behind a wall, so we were able to listen to our music.Check in was good. We lost cell service so had a hard time getting the property management company, but they were very response once we got in contact.Everything worked. Kitchen was well furnished with everything needed to prep meals. Bed was comfortable and the a/c kept the room cool for sleeping. The beach was close, just an easy walk away. There is a market less than a block away for the essentials and a restaurant that has a great beach area to have drinks just around the corner. I could not imagine a more perfect place to stay, we would go back in a heartbeat.

    Our family of six stayed here for a week. Here are some things that stand out: everything is better than the photos in person (no offense to whomever took the photos!). For example, the pool isn’t huge, but much bigger than it would appear in the photos the wrap around porch and spaciousness of the inside of the house really makes it feel like your own private resort, with enough space to spread out and not feel like you’re on top of each other the host is incredibly helpful and attentive very comfortable bedsHighly recommend!
