Imagine a calm, swimmable beach where the only direct access is through your community's gate. At Bahía Pez Vela, that is exactly what you get.
Bahía Pez Vela is a rare beachfront gated community of only 40 villas, set on Playa Azul, a calm beach just past Playa Ocotal. Because the only direct access is through the community's 24/7 gated entrance, the beach feels private, even though no beach in Costa Rica is legally private.
Owners enjoy three oceanfront pools and a beachfront restaurant and bar. An on-site office helps with rentals, guest check-ins, cleaning, maintenance and even local tours, which makes ownership simple whether you live here full-time or visit a few times a year.
