Garden View #3

Fall asleep to ocean sounds and Costa Rican Caribbean breezes, and wake up to the chirping of birds and the sunrise.



Villas Serenidad contains two custom-built hardwood villas and one larger home, each with vaulted cathedral ceilings, ceiling fans and a spectacular view of the ocean. Each overlooks lush tropical gardens, designed by an award-winning landscape designer. We are 50 meters from the surf, at the quiet Playa Negra beach.



Take a 20 –minute stroll down the beach, or a 5-minute car ride, to the bohemian, laid-back & culturally-diverse town of Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Puerto Viejo contains delicious restaurants, fun shopping, and opportunities for surfing, jungle hikes, river-rafting, zip-lines, chocolate tours, animal sanctuary, yoga classes, snorkeling, horseback riding, and paddle boarding.



Villas Serenidad is ideal for honeymooners, romantic getaways, girlfriend getaways, family reunions, retreats and weddings. We would love to welcome you to this special place and help make your time here unforgettable!

Cozy and convenient

This is a lovely little casita with everything we could need. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful, beach towels were provided, and it was steps to the beach. We could hear the crashing waves throughout the night and the birdsong in the morning. Typically we cook a little more but for this trip we wanted to get the flavors of the region so the mini fridge and two burner cooktop were enough for a couple of breakfasts and mid day snacks. We were very relaxed and content, I highly recommend Villas Serenidad!

Stunning location

The primary reason to stay in this casita is the location and the stunning views. The garden is beautiful with a path that opens to La Playa Negra. The beach is quiet and private and absolutely breathtaking. We were able to spot the sloth in the garden on a few occasions and had an up close view of him moving once which was very special. As previously mentioned in reviews, there was a bottle of wine and chocolate waiting for us. We were met to check in and get acclimated to the environment. Great recommendations for food was provided. There’s really no bad place to eat in Puerto Viejo. We always felt safe on the property and in town. Everyone was so friendly and engaging. The property management team was extremely responsive to all requests (especially Shevonne) and often anticipated our needs. We greatly appreciated the cleaning services provided by Nancy, and the special touches that showed she cared. We were there for 3 weeks, and it was an unbelievable and memorable experience!

I would stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The only thing I would say that needs to be addressed is the door slams every time it closes. Also the bedding, around the cement slab from the kitchen to the yard, there is a gap and my girlfriend twisted her ankle stepping down to go to the beach so we never actually made it down to the water.

Villa Serenidad

Great experience. Open air kitchen & bedroom w A/C worked well. Had a water leak first night it rained but that was just a miscommunication & taken care of. Only disappointment was we thought there was a 2nd story balcony from the listing photos but that was a separate apartment so no ocean view. Our mistake for not checking. I’d stay again

Great Location

This place was an awesome find. Stayed for two nights. The outside kitchen was great. Steps from the beach! If I could give this place ) stars I would. Only complaint was the bed wasn’t the most comfortable but it did the job.

Awesome week away

Great place to stay, we would do it again. Very clean and friendly. As promised only 50m to the beach and just a walk through the garden. The beach was quiet, the black sand was hot as expected. Close to town, we rented bikes at Banana Azul and rode those most of the time but also had a rental car to explore the area.

Great place on the beach. Super relaxing, will be staying here again. Only request is that my gf said she wished there was an actual full length mirror so she could see to get ready lol. Other than that, super great and really great staff.

Delayed Honeymoon

We had a wonderful stay. The outdoor kitchen/dining/living space was perfect for our needs. Easy access to the beach but beware the black sand gets HOT so wear shoes.

Perfect for couples!

This little villa was perfect for our one week honeymoon. Very clean space, nice bathroom and shower, the bed is comfy, and the AC cranks (which we definitely utilized after the long hot days in the sun!). Perfect outdoor mini kitchen set up with all the necessities although we mostly ate at the local restaurants. I definitely recommend downloading WhatsApp if you don't already have it prior to your trip. You can add the property as a contact and message them anytime if you have questions. They are quick to respond and very helpful. Also, Jocelyn lives on site and she is incredibly friendly, funny, and helpful. We really enjoyed meeting her and chatting with her. They also gifted us chocolate and wine when we checked in! The villas are literally steps away from the beautiful Playa Negra black sand beach. The property is gorgeously maintained with incredible landscaping. There is a tall fence around the entire property and gates on both the beach side and street side that you get codes to come and go through as you please. The beach side gate stays open all day but they close it before sundown. There is also three kitties that live on the property that we made friends with, they are so sweet. We did not rent a car, we opted to walk to town (an easy 15 minute walk) or take a tuk tuk if we didn't feel like walking which ended up being about 4 US dollars one way. Not to shabby. There is also a grocery store at the end of the street, only about a 3 minute walk from the villas. I can't recommend the Villas Serenidad enough, they have the perfect quiet, beach location while also being close to town and all the happenings. Thanks again for your hospitality! Five stars!

Beautiful Location

We had an amazing time! The villas are quiet and clean, you’re steps away from the beach, and it’s nice that you’re close to town but not in the middle of it. We enjoyed exploring the near by beaches and we saw a couple sloths in the wild. Management is quick to respond and super helpful if you need anything. I was a little nervous about the open floor living to the gardens, we had no issues with unwanted guests. If you are looking for a peaceful time at the beach this is it.
