Casa Vista: Ocean View Home for Sale Near Ostional, Guanacaste

There is a particular kind of quiet that settles over the valley below Casa Vista in the late afternoon, when the light shifts and the Pacific catches it just right. This is a one-bedroom home designed with that moment in mind: open, modern, and oriented toward the water and the valley in equal measure. It is the kind of property that feels larger than its footprint suggests, because so much of the living happens outside the walls.

The Home

Casa Vista is a spacious, modern one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence with an open-concept layout that connects the interior living spaces directly to a covered outdoor terrace. The design keeps the home cool and comfortable through natural ventilation, supported by two air conditioning units for the warmer months. A separate outdoor laundry bodega with connections and a water heater rounds out the practical side of the property.

The terrace is where the home earns its name. Sunset ocean views stretch across the Pacific from this vantage point, framed by the open valley below and the hills behind. Cool breezes move through consistently, making it a genuinely comfortable place to spend the day.

The property is well suited as a primary residence, a guest house, or a standalone rental home.

Location

Casa Vista sits within the El Rayo community of Cuanjiniquil, 3 kilometers north of Ostional and approximately 10 kilometers from Nosara. The Ostional Wildlife Refuge, one of the most important Olive Ridley sea turtle nesting grounds in the world, is practically at the doorstep. Consistent surf breaks, black sand beaches, and a community that operates at its own unhurried pace define the immediate surroundings.

Nosara’s domestic airport places San José within a short flight, and the Liberia international airport is approximately 2 hours by road.

Why Ostional, Why Now

The Nicoya Peninsula has been recognized as one of the world’s Blue Zones, a place where the combination of diet, community, and environment contributes to some of the longest and healthiest lives on record. Ostional sits at the quieter, less commercialized edge of this region, which is precisely what makes it worth paying attention to.

Guanacaste recorded a 28% increase in property transactions in 2024, with buyers responding to a more accessible price environment after years of rapid appreciation. Ostional remains one of the few coastal communities in the peninsula where properties still reflect genuine value rather than the premium of an already-discovered market. For buyers who prefer to arrive before the crowd, the window here is real.

Ownership and Practicalities

Casa Vista benefits from full utility infrastructure: electricity through Coopeguanacaste with an existing meter, water through the Ostional ASADA via a 200-meter deep well with a shared tank, fiber optic internet through Coopeguanacaste, and a private concrete septic tank. One covered parking space is included.
