Tucked into one of the most private positions on The Ridge at Ventanas del Mar, Casa Monos is a fully renovated, turnkey estate where breathtaking Pacific views meet refined indoor-outdoor living. Set within the exclusive enclave of The Ridge, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home has been thoughtfully updated with modern luxury finishes — and it shows in every detail, from the reimagined chef’s kitchen to the expansive terraces that spill out toward the sea.
This is the kind of home that works beautifully for families, couples, and groups alike. The layout is generous and functional, the outdoor living spaces are made for entertaining, and the views — stretching across the jungle canopy to Playa Carrillo Bay and the Pacific beyond — are simply unforgettable.
Property Highlights:
- Breathtaking, Unobstructed Ocean Views: From nearly every room and terrace, sweeping vistas of Playa Carrillo Bay, the Pacific coastline, and miles of lush jungle canopy frame daily life here in a way that never gets old.
- Fully Renovated with Modern Luxury Finishes: Recently and thoughtfully renovated throughout, Casa Monos features a reimagined chef’s kitchen with a waterfall island, contemporary cabinetry, and high-end appliances, plus fully updated bathrooms with all-new cabinetry and countertops — all within the warmth of the home’s original Mediterranean-inspired architecture.
- An Entertainer’s Dream: From the open floor plan and oversized chef’s kitchen to the dining room that spills onto a sprawling covered terrace with a built-in outdoor kitchen, professional grill, and a private pool overlooking the Pacific, this home was made for bringing people together.
- World-Class Community Amenities: Enjoy Ventanas del Mar’s resort-style amenities, including a panoramic-view infinity pool, nature trails, a clubhouse, pickleball courts, an outdoor gym, and a lake. (See full amenities below.)
Positioned at one of the most private points on The Ridge at Ventanas del Mar, Casa Monos looks out over an unbroken canvas of jungle, coastline, and Pacific sky — the kind of view that pulls you outside in the morning and keeps you there until the last light fades over the bay of Playa Carrillo.
The home itself has been recently and beautifully renovated, blending the warmth of its original Mediterranean architecture — terracotta tile rooflines, stone columns, ornate wrought-iron railings, and rich teak wood ceilings detailed throughout — with a clean, modern interior that feels both elevated and livable. This is a home that works as well for a large family gathering as it does for a quiet couple’s retreat, and the layout makes it easy to do both.
The main living level is where Casa Monos makes its first impression. You arrive through a grand entry hall with a one-of-a-kind hand-inlaid stone leaf ceiling medallion, lit naturally by dual skylights — a detail that speaks to the quality and character found throughout. From here, the home opens into a spacious living room with a soaring vaulted teak ceiling, expansive glass sliders that frame the Pacific like a living painting, and beautifully curated furnishings that make the space feel both luxurious and immediately at home.
The renovated chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home’s social life. Spacious countertops and a large waterfall island anchor a space designed for cooking and gathering in equal measure, with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated pantry and laundry room. The adjacent dining area seats the whole group in style, with views of the surrounding jungle and coast as a backdrop, and sliding glass doors that open directly to the outdoor kitchen terrace — so meals flow naturally from inside to out.

The outdoor terrace at Casa Monos is something else entirely. Spanning the full width of the home and shaded beneath warm teak beam ceilings, it’s equipped with a built-in outdoor kitchen, professional-grade grill, bar seating, a generous dining table, and comfortable lounge seating — all looking straight out over the panoramic sweep of Playa Carrillo and the Pacific. When the sun starts to drop, this terrace becomes one of the most spectacular places to be anywhere in Costa Rica. Steps away from the terrace, the private pool sits on a sun terrace surrounded by manicured tropical lawns, an inviting place to cool off and soak in the views.
Back inside, the main level is home to the primary suite and a guest suite. The primary suite is a true retreat — generous in scale, with ocean views, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the terrace and pool. The ensuite bathroom features dual vanities and a walk-in shower with ocean views, making even the morning routine feel like something special. The guest suite on this level offers a private ensuite bath and serene garden views.
Head downstairs, and the home opens up into two additional guest suites, each with its own private bathroom. The first is a standout — ocean views and a covered private patio make it feel more like a second primary than a guest room. The second suite accommodates two beds, a private bathroom, and a walk-out patio with lush jungle and mountain views — ideal for kids or additional guests.
A spacious laundry room with updated countertops and a wine refrigerator, a half bath on the main level, a private covered carport, and generous storage round out the practical side of a home that balances luxury and comfort with real ease.
Casa Monos is offered fully furnished and turnkey — ready from the moment you arrive.
