"Imagine waking to the gentle sounds of distant surf, the eerie echo of howler monkeys and the flutter and song of tropical birds. Imagine opening your eyes and seeing a hallucinatory view of mountains and islands meeting an ocean as blue and bright as the sky and indigo butterflies floating past. Imagine rising from bed and walking through architectural spaces designed with such care and detail that every view is extraordinary and you feel as if you are truly walking in a world of celestial beauty. Welcome to the place where imagination becomes real. Welcome to Casa Holmes!

Costa Rican architect Victor Cañas designed this house. Cañas is one of Costa Rica’s premier architects and is known throughout Latin America. He describes himself as a “tropical modernist” and he is known for his sensitive understanding of the area. His houses combine solidity of material with a lightness and openness that create a sense of harmony with the environment. There is no excess in the design and every detail feels right. Casa Holmes may be Cañas’ masterpiece. Set on a hillside terrace overlooking the bay and Playas del Coco the house becomes one with the granite rock above and below. Casa Holmes has been featured in numerous magazines, will soon appear in a book an Latin American architecture and has won numerous design awards.

The interior is defined by space and airiness. The ceilings are high and large glass panels frame the extraordinary views. Every room in the house has a panoramic ocean view. Most of the panels slide open filling the house with breezes off the Pacific and often with gorgeous butterflies. The house is fully modern with central air conditioning, ceiling fans and 2 bedroom jacuzzis. The kitchen is a fully equipped work of art and joyous to cook in. Victor Cañas worked hard to fulfill the owner's desire for this house to be handicap accessible as well.

This is a unique opportunity to rent a private villa. Nestled in the majestic hillside of the quaint seaside town of Playas Del Coco in the Northwest Pacific of Costa Rica. Overlook the Pacific Ocean and Bay of Coco from this architectural master piece.

Enjoy the spaciousness of the open design with high ceilings, grandiose windows, framing the most incredible ocean and distant island views. Experience the sounds of nature, breaking waves, monkeys, exotic birds. A short walk to the beachfront, aquatic sports and a full service beach community.
