The Skinny On Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, Casa Breeze is a three-bedroom eco-retreat near the sleepy seaside town of San Juanillo.
The Look Despite its jungle setting — and the fact that the lush green vegetation literally grows right over the roof — Breeze is a modern home with sleek white exteriors, sharp angles and furnishings out of Dwell.
Would Suit Environment-minded design buffs. The villa’s gray water is recycled and reused for irrigation, the electricity is supplemented with solar technology and there's a sustainable green roofing system — but the home doesn't skimp in the looks department.
Room to Nab The king-size master has a dual-head shower, a Jacuzzi tub and a private deck.
The Wow The surrounding wildlife: the distant bellow of howler monkeys, the squawk of macaws and the buzz of the hummingbirds flitting above the nectar in the poolside flowers.

In a luxury community on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, Casa Breeze has views of the Pacific Ocean and the rain forest.
The villa's three bedrooms are encircled by a shallow reflecting pool.
The villa’s living areas are on the upper-level, where floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors put the emphasis on the views.
Costa Rica combines lush landscapes with pristine coastlines. It's a blur of green and blue, where you can have your rainforest and your ocean views too. On the Pacific coast, the Nicoya Peninsula is a paradise for beach bums of all ilks (surfers, snorkelers, sunworshippers). It's also home to the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, the country's first federally protected wilderness area. So you can spend your days deciding: Surf or turf?
