Dreamy Spanish-Style Villa with Sweeping Ocean Views, Elegant Nautical Design &

  • Summary:
    🌟 Exclusive Guest Perks! 🌟 Enjoy golf cart rental discounts 🚙 and kids sail free on catamaran tours ⛵ — valid now through Nov 8, 2025. Restrictions apply, ask our concierge for details!

    Experience exquisite seaside luxury at Villa Bougainvillea, a stunning four-bedroom villa perched at the top of a hillside cliff in the North Ridge of Playa Flamingo. This Spanish-inspired villa features an open-concept living space with lofty ceilings, a sparkling oceanview infinity pool, and a charming stone courtyard filled with tropical landscaping and colorful blooms.

    The Space:
    Villa Bougainvillea can sleep eight guests in four beautifully furnished bedrooms, each with a king bed, elegant furniture, high ceilings and stone floors, and a private bathroom. The master bathroom has a sleek marble walk-in shower with a dual-sink vanity, while the other bathrooms have walk-in showers made of natural rock.

    Each of the bedrooms in Villa Bougainvillea offers something unique. The master bedroom has a massive walk-in closet and a flat-screen TV. The second bedroom has a charming patio oasis with two lounge chairs and a BBQ grill. The third has a wet bar with a drink refrigerator, and the fourth has a small balcony overlooking the ocean.

    The open-concept living space is stunning, with sky-high ceilings and stacking doors leading to the shaded patio. The patio is furnished with an outdoor furniture set that overlooks the sparkling oceanview infinity pool (one of the largest private pools in Playa Flamingo!). The indoor living room features a nautical design and is decorated with high-end wood furniture and a flat-screen smart TV.

    The living room opens to a spacious chef’s kitchen with a large center island and high-end stainless steel appliances, like a range-top stove and oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and an oversized sink. The kitchen island can seat four guests, and the dining table can seat eight. The entire kitchen is beautifully decorated with granite countertops and textured backsplashes. Like the living room, it features a set of stacking doors that open to the poolside patio with ocean views.

    The Neighborhood:
    Flamingo is a high-end beachfront community notable for its dazzling ocean views and the beautiful, hilly peninsula that juts out into the Pacific, separating Playa Potrero from Playa Flamingo.
    Flamingo is home to a wide array of stunning homes and vacation rentals, as well as humbler lodging options, and it has restaurants, grocery stores, banks and other conveniences.
    A brand-new, state-of-the-art marina opened to the public in 2022, with slips for yachts and fishing boats, condos for rent and all kinds of shops and restaurants. Other major developments here include the 360 Splendor del Pacifico luxury condominiums on top of the North Ridge, the Margaritaville Beach Resort, and the upscale Mar Vista housing development, where there’s an excellent private school called La Paz.
    Good restaurants in town include the Coco Loco, a beachfront eatery known for its coconut drinks and standout cuisine; Marie’s, a reliable standard with a long and enticing menu; Angelina’s, featuring fine Italian dining in an elegant environment; and several options at the Margaritaville, including the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill.
    Flamingo was largely developed by foreigners, and it lacks the traditional Costa Rican downtown with a soccer field plaza, church and school. The heart of town is an upscale commercial plaza with stone steps, fountains, restaurants and shops. Farther away on the road to Brasilito, you’ll find smaller restaurants, hotels, banks, hardware stores and the Super Massai grocery store.
    Flamingo is more or less the centerpiece of a beautiful coastline stretching from the Reserva Conchal resort in the south to the Las Catalinas resort in the north, with the more traditional Costa Rican towns of Brasilito and Potrero in between. Flamingo is within easy striking distance of several beaches, including Conchal, Flamingo, Potrero, Penca, Prieta, Pan de Azucar and Danta.

    Getting Around:
    Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.

    We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.

    Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.

    Other Things to Note:
    Special Places of Costa Rica is committed to protecting our properties and complying with short-term rental regulations, which is why all guests are required to complete an independent verification with our trusted partner, TRUVI, before check-in. You will be contacted via email, text, or app notification with instructions to complete this process. As part of the verification, you will need to choose between paying a refundable security deposit (which includes a non-refundable 2% processing fee) or purchasing a non-refundable damage waiver, which protects you in case of accidental damage during your stay. We strongly recommend the damage waiver, as it provides peace of mind and avoids tying up funds with a deposit. Both the TRUVI verification and your selection of either the deposit or the damage waiver must be completed prior to your arrival. Failure to complete either step may result in being denied access to the property and forfeiting the rental without refund. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The house is beautiful and well maintained. Lovely views. Had everything our party of 8 could need. The concierge team was so helpful and very quick to respond. Great location, but would definitely recommend getting a golf cart. Had a private chef come several times to really make the vacation special. So many things to do for all age groups.

Villa Bougainvillea 4 is a magical place on this planet !!!We were a family of 7 adults staying a week for our son & fiancés wedding. The King beds all with on-suite baths were super comfy. Linens new, bedrooms all large. We cooked many of our meals at home - the kitchen had everything we needed & then some ! A dream kitchen !It’s walkable to restaurants and the beach, with the most spectacular views as pictured in the photos. We spent time in the dining room, living room, and patio. All were spacious & clean with stunning views to the ocean throughout! The gorgeous pool was large enough to do laps in.Villa B was stunning with a clear nod to Spanish architecture and high vaulted ceilings. Places of Costa Rica are a concierge team, answering all questions within minutes to under an hour. Deiner, our contact was wonderful.We plan to come back & stay another week next year ! Cheers !KK

Beautiful property and views!

Our family greatly enjoyed the house and the location can’t be beat. It had all amenities we needed to enjoy the house and beach… water toys, plenty beach towels, kitchen well furnished, plenty of board games and cards to enjoy at night or when it rained. You can enjoy the view from the patio and still hear the surf crashing below. Very close to good restaurants and to the marina for excursions. I do recommend renting a golf cart though - the house is close to beach and shops but it’s very steep hills and challenging physically. We rented one on the spot after the first time walking to/from restaurant.

Great House and Amazing Concierge Service

Great house with wonderful pool and incredible view overlooking the bay and beach. The house is actually better than the pictures if that is possible. Very well laid out and first-class in all regards. Olver and the team at "Special Places of Costa Rica" made everything seamless with wonderful concierge services. They helped coordinate everything from grocery shopping, excursions, catamaran/snorkling trip, golf cart rentals, and transportation to and from the airport. The golf carts were perfect for access to the beach and local bars/restaurants. We would definitely rent this home again.

Breathtaking views

The home was lovely and the views were breathtaking. The beach and restaurants are within walking distance. Playa Flamingo has everything you need, but it is much more low key than Tamarindo. Which we liked. Alfonso was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Check in was easy. We did feel rushed with check out, which is suppose to be 11:00am but the maid service showed up at 8:00 while we were eating breakfast and trying to finish packing our belongings, and started cleaning around us. Otherwise highly recommended property with tons of excursions and an awesome beach nearby.

Great Property

The house was very well-equipped for our family of 6. Generous-sized bedrooms, comfortable linens and towels, just about everything needed in the kitchen. A/C in all the bedrooms and the kitchen/living room, TONS of ceiling fans. Being a rental, it did show some signs of wear, but nothing that would steer us away if we were to travel there again. Outdoor shower didn’t work at all, 2 other shower handles were “fussy”. A few light bulbs were out. The house must have been undergoing some type of repainting. Most of the colorful walls with art in the listing photos were painted white and wall hangings were removed. Property manager was very responsive. I definitely recommend this rental.

Fabulous house, pool, location, and view!

Highly recommend this beautiful home. The photos and description were very accurate! This beautiful house was a perfect fit for our family, simply wanting a relaxing vacation. We were able to rent golf carts and travel around to restaurants, shopping, and neighboring beaches. We used the concierge service offered through the management company for the golf cart rentals. It was very convenient. Both golf carts were in our garage when we arrived and they picked them up after we left.We traveled with teenagers so the house suited us well. I might not recommend to families with small children because two of the bedrooms have exterior access. The management company was excellent to communicate with and very helpful when we had questions. If renting this house, I would recommend communicating with the management company about when you might expect workers at the house. We were not expecting a lawn care company to show up while we were using the pool, or security guards to walk through the courtyard. They did communicate housekeeping coming one day in the middle, which was very nice for refreshed bedding and towels.Would 100% stay here again!

Best vacation of our lives!

Villa Bougainvillea exceeded our wildest expectations! Our family of 4 (kids 19 and 17) and my sister and her 3 kids (22, 17 and 14) spent a week at this beautiful home. It was even better than we had hoped for! We did excursions every morning and spent the afternoons and evenings in the pool laughing and playing Marco Polo like we were all 8 years old! The view of Playa Flamingo from the house is breathtaking. If I had to list any complaints (can't really even call them that.. this is really being nit-picky), they would be that we needed more paper towel, some cleaning supplies and a dish brush to keep the kitchen clean. We expected to buy food, but not those types of things. This was our second trip to Costa Rica, and it won't be our last. Thank you to Special Places of Costa Rica for all of the excellent excursions that were planned... the ATV tour, zip lining and surfing were so much fun! We'd probably skip snorkeling next time... the water isn't super clear (not dirty at all, just not the turquoise water you need to see lots of fish) and with there not being any reefs, there weren't a lot of fish. HIGHLY recommend this house. It was perfection!

Great Location and Pool

Just stayed at Villa Bourgainvillea for 10 days on a getaway with 2 families and 8 people total (4 adults, 2 teenage kids, 2 young children). House is in pretty good condition overall, could use some updating of a few things: linens, pillows, mattresses, kitchen, kitchen wares and utensils. The bedrooms are good sized, have their own full ensuite, 3 of 4 have ocean views, but not a great setup for people with younger kids - 2 of 4 bedrooms are not connected to the main house and have to be accessed by going outside. By far the best thing about this Villa is the proximity to the beach, and the outdoor space/pool area. The beach is about a 2-3 minute drive, and while it is walkable in 15-20 minutes, the hill coming back up is a long and steep stretch in 35° Celcius weather. The pool is great. Clean, good size - 8 of us in the pool didn’t feel cramped, and the pools guys came 3 or 4 times to clean/maintain. There were 4 lazy deck chairs, and lots of other outdoor furniture. We spent the majority of our time by the pool so having the outdoor sitting capacity was important. Special Places Property Management was tough to get a hold of. A few times we had to go into the office before anyone would respond to requests and get back to us with answers about questions for the house. The lines up transportation to and from the airport and that was a huge help.

Bit of Paradise

The property was as advertised and perfect for our group. We used three of the four bedrooms. We were all comfortable and all were master suites as advertised. The common areas were very comfortable. We spent a great deal of time on the back patio and in the pool. The outdoor shower did not work and we did not report it. No big deal. The infinity pool was delightful and we spent a great deal of time in it and enjoying the view from there. We felt very safe in the area, but the house was gated and alarmed. We never felt uncomfortable in that regard. One negative: In a house of this magnitude, not sure why there were 10 different keys to open doors and gates. Some were marked and some were not. Get some lock work done and get it down to 2-3 keys. We had a chef come in on two different nights. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and everything needed for our use and for the chefs. I mean, everything was there. We could not say enough good things about Special Places of Costa Rica. Phem was excellent on the front side. Alonso was very accessible to our every need and quickly responded to anything at any time. Would highly recommend them wherever you may rent.

Location Location Location (and View)

The best thing about this house is the view! The pool was amazing, and the home is centrally located to everything you want to do in Playa Flamingo. We rented two golf carts, which made getting around town very easy. Our group was three couples. All bedrooms had king beds (which were quite comfortable) & ensuite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are outside the main house, so if you have kids, that could be a problem. The bedrooms off the courtyard and has no view. While the house is lovely and has recently been freshly painted, if you read through the other reviews, the owner has not spent any time addressing the concerns noted. The kitchen is very dated as are the pots, pans, knives, glasses etc.. Additionally, the linens (specifically the bath towels) were scratchy and old. To save frustration an instruction book that reviews basics such as: • How to operate the quirky plumbing • How to operate the intercom/door buzzer • Where to put your trash as it fills up • Which of the 5 different keys goes to what door The people at Special Places were responsive to all our concerns. They were also very helpful at planning excursions (zip line/ATV, Deep Sea Fishing, etc..), arranging golf carts, restaurant reservations and airport transfers. We had a wonderful time and Playa Flamingo is a lovely small town. We highly recommend Coco Loco on the beach for great meals, cocktails and sunsets (we went 3 times). Amigos Tacos & Beer at the bottom of the hill is great for a casual lunch!

Spectacular Views a true work of art.

We traveled to Costa Rica as a group of 5 friends. The set up of the house was perfect. The pool was large and allowed for lounging, swimming and the most amazing views. The interior of the home is a work of art. The natural wood furniture, the owners personal artwork and the design is amazing. The location of the property is also great. The walk to the beach was a challenging one - if you have issues with hiking I would recommend that you rent a car, the home has a garage and that worked out perfect for our group. The small bodega store at the bottom of the hill was perfect for incidental supplies and beverages. There is a larger grocery store about a mile or two away for larger shopping trips. We weren't notified that there would be maid service mid week, and that there were landscapers on a few of the days. It caught us a bit off guard but they were very professional and kind. Instructions on how to use the stereo sound system would have helped as we saw outside speakers but could not get it to work. Special Places provided us Phem to help coordinate everything and I can tell you she is wonderful. Even directing us to a local fish market that we would have never found - delicious. The catamaran tour she suggested on the Lazy Lizard was spectacular. The crew were amazing and the sighting of mating sea turtles, pods of dolphins, the hump back whale and the snorkeling trip being able to touch a puffer fish thanks to Luis. This vacation was just what we needed. We would return to this property and definitely use Special Places again for future travel. Thank you to the owners of this property for sharing it with us.

Great property, needs some maintenance

We were a group of 6 adults. The property is gorgeous and centrally located. We enjoyed the stay but there are a few maintenance issues which we also expressed to the property manager. The property is well appointed and has a fully equipped kitchen including a nice array of spices and cooking tools.The property is very clean and has stunning views. Be prepared to fumble among multiple keys because for some reason the locks have not all been keyed the same and you will need about 5 different keys to access various areas of the house. The biggest issue for us was the courtyard suite. It was completely unusable to us due to the foul sewer like smell emanating from the plumbing. This smell was solely confined to this suite. The property managers “fix” was to leave the a/c blasting. It took 3 of the 5 days we were there for the smell to somewhat dissipate. The second biggest issue was the shower faucet for the upstairs suite. The handles are lovely but because of their design people have abused them while trying to turn on the water. This has resulted in the handle being broken and you have to mangle about to find the hot water because the handle just continues to spin. Additionally the outside shower for the pool does not work which from previous posts has been a continual problem and has not been addressed.

Villa Bougainvillea

This is a top notch property, well decorated with comfortable beds. The view of the Pacific from the infinity pool is magnificent and you can enjoy your poolside time in the sun or shade while beautiful birds flit about. The glass doors are large and wonderful, but take some time to figure out their working which is not standard. The local Raccoons will come in and wreak havoc while you are away if a door is left a bit ajar. The electrical switches were poorly thought out and you spend a bit of time walking about trying to cut things on or off.

Amazing views and great staff to give us info for our stay!

Our stay at the home was more than we imagined. The home was awesome and the pool was amazing to be at any time of the day. The location was close to restaurants but quiet enough to enjoy some downtime. We would for sure come back to this home!

Paradise!

Best family vacation ever! We were there for a week with 5 adults and 3 kids, and there was more than enough room for all. The bedrooms were spacious, the king sized beds were comfy and it was nice that every room has its own bathroom. The pool and patio for shade was perfect for all ages. (The view!!!!!) Phem and Alonso were always ready to answer any questions (patiently as well!) and super helpful with golf cart rental and booking excursions. (Highly recommend getting a golf cart, the hill to and from the beach is quite steep!) We did 2 excursions, a catamaran snorkeling and sunset cruise with The Lazy Lizard that was fantastic (the crew went above and beyond!) and a waterfall/bridge/volcano with AdvenTours that was amazing! (Ask for Goose, he was fun and extremely knowledgeable) All that said..... the view from the infinity pool is the BEST part of this villa, truly breathtaking!!!! We all can’t wait to come back! Pura Vida!

Amazing experience.

Went to Costa Rica to enjoy a birthday week with my family. There were 3 couples total coming in from 2 different cities. I mention this because the service of Special Places staff, specifically Phem was spectacular, and when I speak of this later I want to make sure they get full credit. The house is exactly as explained, looks and is as described as it really is. Beautiful views and is exactly what you think of in a Costa Rica villa. Well maintained and cared for and the indoor outdoor living is spectacular. Location is wonderful, the small local town has everything you need from small grocery stores to restaurants to beaches to gelato stand. If you don’t find what you want go another mile down the road and there is another group of restaurants and stores to get supplies at. I believe the service was the real difference maker from the 15 or more places we have rented through Home away over the years. My family came in from two different locations and our our flights were delayed. Phem had arranged our ground transportation to pick us up at airport when our 2nd plane arrived which was a 3pm. One of our flights got delayed till 10:30pm. I contacted Phem and she arranged a second transport for our late group, responding to my request within an hour of setting it up while we were stuck in airports. She also arranged for the first sister to get the keys and check In before the arrival of the primary guest, so they could begin enjoying the house while they waited for us. Phem arranged golf carts for 4 days of our trip and a 4 wheel drive for the second part of our trip. She arranged delivery and pick up of the vehicles including confirmation and everything. I would recommend staying with the golf carts the entire time next time we go down. We used the car to go to the volcano, and explore a few towns further away, but ultimately we could have taken tours of this instead. For sure get golf carts as they are the best way to get around the 3 closest towns. Phem arranged for us to have some grocery delivery to house prior to arrival so we wouldn’t have to shop the second we got to villa. And finally when the rental car pick up was late and our airport shuttle was already there and waiting she verified the car pick up for us. Phem and special places did an amazing job. Rent this villa and use there services you won’t regret it. Pura Vida!

Amazing!

Simply an amazing trip! Four couples shared the Villa, and it was the best vacation I have ever had! The house is everything it was advertised to be, and we loved it! Special Places of CR was really great. All personnel were friendly and helpful. The area is really quiet and peaceful and everyone is so kind and gentle. It was our first time to Costa Rica, but we will be returning many times after this trip!

Perfect villa in the middle of everything.

Our party of 8 adults recently had the pleasure of staying at this Villa in April of 2019. It was perfect! The room, the privacy, the views!!!!! I can’t say enough. Phem and Special Places took care of everything we needed, and I mean everything. From a new propane tank for the BBQ, a new coffee maker, excursions, golf carts....... everything. If you can, ask for Gonzo (Heiner) for your tour guide, the dude is awesome! I highly recommend staying here if your in the Playa Flamingo area. An easy golf cart ride up to Playa Potrero or down to Playa Brasilito you have plenty of options to eat, drink, and explore right in your back yard. One warning to consider or be aware of. The hill that the house sits on is better with a golf cart. Can get quite tiring hiking up and down all the time.
