Carefree vacation memories will be yours at this beautiful beach home just steps from the ocean in Tivives. Not only is the home inviting with its coastal charm and decor - including an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area - but the outdoor garden and shady, green spaces are exquisite as well.

You will find yourself not wanting to leave the lazy hammocks and chaise lounge chairs surrounding the crystal-blue private pool, nor the shared time spent with loved ones at the outdoor covered patio and barbecue grill - with an ocean view! And speaking of views, no one will want to miss out on a morning coffee or favorite evening beverages during sunset while perched on the rooftop patio, a most pleasant way to both begin and end the day.

Inside, this gem of a home features a well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to whip up delicious homemade meals for the crew. Use the free WiFi to search for a traditional Costa Rican dish and give it a try! Both bedrooms feature comfortable beds and smart TVs for added convenience. There are two modern bathrooms, both with showers. Look no further for your next tropical getaway - it's all here.

This location is equally convenient and secluded. There is a local dining spot less than a mile away and a hiking spot called Alto de las Mesas just three miles away.

No Hot Water
BUYER BEWARE No hot water and beach is dirty. I contacted Vacasa before confirming reservation to verify had hot water due to previous review. I was told I would have hot water but never did. The pool water was warmer than the shower. The company was notified as soon as we knew there was no hot water. Beach is very dirty due to ships waiting to get into port and dumping garbage while waiting. We did see monkeys and birds which were beautiful. Sorry for the bad review I tried to work with you.

Awesome spot on the beach
We had an amazing stay at Villa Mer and will definitely return. The location is awesome. We spent almost all of our time at the pool, as the rancho right next to it provides shade and a great eating area. We ate all of our meals there and played cards every night, all while listening to the surf crash only metres away. The reason I gave only 4 stars is because there are some things that need to be addressed to justify the price. 1.There is no hot water. Not a big deal, but this should be stated as we were expecting it. 2.The ants in the kitchen can be brutal. On our first day, the kitchen counter was swarmed with thousands of ants because we ate before we cleaned up. I found a can of Raid in the laundry and sprayed the 3 main entry points near the counters. This needs to be done at least once a week, and you can't leave any food out - ever. 3. The dishwasher doesn't clean the dishes. I don't like doing dishes while on vacation. It needs to be replaced. 4. Need a plug for the kitchen sink so you can fill it with boiled water to wash dishes. 5. No real oven, just small toaster oven. 6. Needs gas BBQ. 7. Showers in the main baths make a mess. In the house, water runs into the bedroom. Separate indoor shower by pool must be used. 8. Need more than 1 spatula and need scissors, salad tongs, measuring cups/spoons. 9, Sliding door locks are difficult to operate. 10. Should have some information about the area and the property in a binder to help with orientation when guests arrive.
