Modern Villa | Private Pool | Near Playa Grande | House in Matapalo
3 Bedroom House in Matapalo
A modern 3-bed, 2.5-bath luxury villa where stillness and beauty meet access. Nestled in the serene nature of Guanacaste, Villa Selah sits unhurried and private, yet 15 minutes from 6 stunning beaches, including Playa Grande and Flamingo. Step from the open-concept living space directly into your private pool oasis. Sleeps up to 6 guests.
Spend your days exploring coastal towns, and return to peace and quiet. At Villa Selah, you don`t have to choose between adventure and restoration.
Villa Selah is a newly built, single-family home with soaring vaulted ceilings and an open layout that feels light, fresh, and completely alive. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow together seamlessly, with AC, a large island, and stainless steel appliances throughout. Sliding glass doors open to a covered outdoor dining patio and private pool, where lounge chairs, an outdoor shower, and total privacy await. Surrounded by the sounds and greenery of the Guanacaste countryside.
The master bedroom features a king bed, AC, generous built-in storage, and its own private sliding door to the pool with an en suite bath. The second bedroom has twin bunk beds, perfect for kids. The third bedroom has a queen bed with ample closet space. The two guest rooms share a full bath, and there is a half bath for common areas. In-unit washer and dryer included. Secured by electric gate.
This home was designed to make you feel held. Clean lines, warm textures, natural light everywhere, and a stillness you can actually feel the moment you walk in.
Note: A personal vehicle is recommended to make the most of your stay. The nearest supermarket, restaurants, and amenities are just a 5 minute drive away, and beaches like Playa Grande are only 15 minutes from the villa. While everything is close by, the distances are more comfortable by vehicle.
Guests have full access to the entire home, including all bedrooms, bathrooms, the pool, covered outdoor patio, and all common areas. A few storage closets are reserved for the property.
We are available through the Airbnb app and happy to assist during your stay.
Power/Internet Outages: Costa Rica experiences occasional power and/or internet outages, especially during heavy rain or strong winds. These are usually temporary but something to be aware of.
Wildlife & Nature: The property is surrounded by lush nature, contributing to Costa Rica`s incredible biodiversity. Despite regular fumigation, it is possible to encounter insects or wildlife both outside and inside the home.
Pool Safety:
The pool is perfect for cooling off and unwinding after a sunny beach day. Please note that the pool does not have a surrounding fence or gate. By booking and staying at Villa Selah, guests acknowledge and accept full responsibility for their own safety and the safety of all members of their party, including children, while in and around the pool area. The host assumes no liability for any accidents, injuries, or incidents that occur in or around the pool.
For everyone`s safety, please observe the following rules at all times:
✔ No diving, jumping, or rough play in or around the pool.
✔ Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times when near the pool.
✔ No glass of any kind is permitted in the pool area. Please use the provided plastic cups or aluminum cans.
✔ Swim at your own risk.
Pool and Landscaping Team: The pool and landscaping crew come by a few times a week. They work efficiently and quietly, doing their best to stay out of your way. Just a heads up so you are not caught off guard if you see them around. Guests do not need to be present during service visits. Due to the surrounding trees and natural environment, leaves or light debris may occasionally collect in the pool between service visits, which is normal for the area. A pool skimmer is available for light surface debris if you choose to use it. Use is completely optional, and we ask that care be taken when handling the skimmer, especially near glass and tiled areas.
Security: We have 4 exterior security cameras with audio and video covering the outside perimeter: main gate/driveway, right side, left side near laundry entry, and rear exterior. All outdoors only. None monitor indoor or guest living spaces.
Guest Expectations and Communication:
We want your stay to go smoothly, and we handle questions and issues as efficiently as possible. We’re available during reasonable daytime hours, generally between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. We’re not a 24/7 concierge, so non-urgent messages sent outside those hours will be answered the next day. If there’s a true emergency involving water, power, or safety, reach out right away.
For anything that affects maintenance or comfort, let us know as soon as you notice it. We’ll make a reasonable effort to address the issue, but response times can depend on the availability of maintenance staff or service providers. Some matters are also outside our control, such as temporary outages with electricity, Wi-Fi, water service, or amenities managed by outside parties.
