Villa Margarita is a unique hacienda-style beachfront estate situated directly on the white sands of Playa Flamingo, recognized as one of Costa Rica’s most notable beaches.

The estate spans an impressive 4,836 m² (1.19 acres) with 72 meters (236 feet) of direct beach access, providing a level of privacy and beachfront presence that is increasingly rare in today’s market. The property consists of a main residence and a separate carriage/guest house, offering versatility for use as a private family compound, luxury vacation home, or a legacy beachfront retreat. The main residence features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a primary master suite on the first floor, which is ideal for single-level living.
