Four Bedroom Beach Villa, Right Next to Banana Beach. Steps from the beach.

Casa Helena is a luxurious villa located in a gated community with private access to the beach in the heart of Santa Teresa. Casa Helena recently underwent a ground up renovation by famous Belgian Artist and Interior Designer Johanna Van Parijs.

Perfect for up to 10 guests, Casa Helena offers 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Casa Helena includes designated parking, and a rental car or other forms of transportation is recommended to make it easy to explore the town and surrounding area. However, the villa's central location means that there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance, so a car is optional. We can also help you rent ATVs or arrange taxis for day trips and other activities.

Bedroom 1: King Sized Bed
Bedroom 2: Queen Sized Bed
Bedroom 3: King Sized Bed and Single Bed
Bedroom 4: Queen Sized Bed and Single Bed

Guests have access to concierge service, a fully equipped kitchen, and full-time maid service to make your stay as comfortable and effortless as possible. A large living room, outdoor gazebo, outdoor dining table, and BBQ area all offer different indoor and outdoor gathering options. Sit outside by the pool and enjoy the sun, go for a swim to cool off in the tropical weather, or make the short walk to the beach.

It is important to note that Casa Helena is next door to Banana Beach Club, and they may have live music in the nights.

With all of these features and its convenient location, Casa Helena is an ideal destination for your next vacation.

Beach week in the rain
Nice house, but built for sunny days. In the rain, the puddles ruled. Great staff and two cute kitties (outdoors of course) made it fun

Perfect family get away
This property was just as described. Clean, well furnished and perfect for our family of six. We loved lounging by the pool, walking on the beach, and exploring Santa Teresa. So many amazing food options within walking distance. Bartolome was a big help in arranging activities (atvs, surfing lessons and zip lining) and taxi services. Janet kept the house clean. It was the best of all worlds - daily cleaning services with a convenience of a house. Gracias para todo!

Beautiful house
A group of friends and I stayed on this property. The house is very beautiful and recently renovated. As beautiful as the new pool area is, the polished cement floors chosen for the entire outdoor area are very very slippery. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with kids or senior adults because of this. We were also thrown aback that there are security cameras within the inside of the property that were not disclosed. We were also forced a cleaning lady and gardener (for a rock garden) every day from 8 am to 4 pm, which felt invasive and not super comfortable for a private getaway. It was also a bummer that the internet never worked during our stay. All in all the property is beautiful and very close to everything with those minor snafus, which can make a big difference.

Loved the property and Santa Teresa!
Beautiful property just steps from the beach! Perfect location with bars/restaurants on either side of you, and right in the middle of town--great for walking to shops, stores, restaurants.

Great location and service.
Only a few steps from the beach and from great places to eat and drink. There was no reason to leave the area during our stay, although we really enjoyed our ATV trip to Montezuma. Our concierge was responsive and arranged our needs. Also nice to have three full bathrooms and AC.

Ah-mazing!
Everything was beyond incredible. The property managers were on point and available anytime we needed anything! The home is so perfectly located. Everyone in our 8 person group was very pleased! We walked to shops, bars, restaurants and most importantly, the beach!

Beautiful cozy home with extremely friendly service so go to Santa Teresa and stay at Villa Bonita
We are an extended family of 7 who enjoyed Villa Bonita so much we hope to return! It had everything we needed; comfortable beds, 4 full baths, well stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, patio seating, large dining table, gorgeously landscaped fenced in yard, outdoor shower, pool, lounge chairs, and stunning view of the ocean and beach. The extremely friendly and efficient people who manage the property were amazing! Danielle stopped by to make sure we were happy and answered all our questions upon arrival. She is very knowledgeable of the area and activities in Costa Rica, giving us great advice multiple times either in person or via WhatsApp immediately. Danielle told us about the various surf breaks from Playa Carmen to Hermosa, so we felt great about visiting them all. She recommended we Zip-line and ride the horses in Mal Pais and visit the Montezuma Waterfall, all so much fun and just a short drive away. She also made us aware of the Mal Pais fishing trips and fresh off the boat fish for purchase there, both exactly what we were looking for. Toto was also helpful with questions and even contacted the car rental company so we could return them in Santa Teresa, not Tambor. He then scheduled a driver to take us to the Tambor Airport. Without Toto's help, we wouldn't have realized renting a car in Santa Teresa and being driven to and from Tambor is best because locals know the roads well. Our housekeeper Jeanette daily and quickly cleaned bathrooms and the kitchen, neatly made beds, changed sheets mid-week, replaced used towels, removed trash and recyclables, and swept plus mopped our tracked sand away. I've never stayed in a cleaner vacation home. Our groundskeeper Jesus daily cleaned the pool, lounge chairs, walkways, outdoor shower, grill, and removed whatever had fallen from the trees. He even changed a flat tire so one of our rental cars could be driven until the tire was repaired. Jeanette and Jesus were kind, never in our way, and made our stay more comfortable. The property's coded gate and night time security guard helped us feel safe, never concerned about our belongings either. Banana Beach Restaurant located next door was a fun place to relax and enjoy pleasant local live music and cocktails plus tasty food. Many restaurants, shops and markets are close to Villa Bonita, very short walks in both directions. Thanks to all of you for helping us have a such a blast that we miss Costa Rica, Villa Bonita and you so much already!

Still Paradise!
This was our second stay at Villa Bonita in two years. We loved it so much last summer, we had to come back. Villa Bonita is nothing short of paradise. Everything is taken care of by the awesome staff, allowing you to completely relax not have a care in the world. Janet the cleaning lady is extremely professional and courteous, and is a master at towel art! Emilya is always available to help with any problems, the pool is always clean, the beach is a twenty second walk away, and Banana Beach restaurant and bar is right next door. My 20 year old nephew came with us this year and found it difficult to leave the front porch. It was too beautiful and serene. He definitely wants to come back to Villa Bonita! Thank you Emilya for running such a great operation. You are definitely a step above all of the other rentals I have visited!

belle semaine au bord de l’océan
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette maison, bien placée près de la plage. L’environnement est très agréable, plutôt calme malgré la proximité des autres maisons et des établissements de plage. La maison est confortable, spacieuse. Les espaces extérieurs sont agréables . Seuls bémols: 2 des 4 chambres n’ont pas de vue agréable, le manque de vaisselle (peu de verres, bols , plats … ), absence de lave vaisselle , sols extérieurs très glissants .
