Casa El Tucan , Puerto Carrillo, Guanacaste

This four-bedroom, four-bathroom multilevel villa is a unique Playa Carrillo property that began as the well-known Tucan Pizza restaurant and was thoughtfully transformed into a character-filled residence. A private one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest suite occupies its own level, offering excellent income potential or comfortable accommodations for family and long-term guests.

One of the home's standout features is its location. Directly across from a quiet park with a playground and basketball court--rare amenities for the area--a short path and steps lead straight to Playa Carrillo without ever crossing a main road. The villa is also close to the area's best futbol field, restaurants, schools, and shops.

A deep wraparound porch connects both upper levels and sets an open, welcoming tone. The main floor includes a spacious living area, dining space with solid wood furnishings that nod to the home's past, and a first bedroom. A few steps down is the sunken kitchen, designed to keep cooking and gathering connected, along with a utility room and second bedroom.

Upstairs, an expansive addition features the primary suite, a fourth bedroom, and a lofted game room that adds volume and height. Each space opens to a second-floor balcony overlooking the pool, palms, and surrounding neighborhood.

The pool terrace offers a relaxed outdoor living area with room for dining, lounging, and an outdoor shower. Landscaping is intentionally low-maintenance, allowing for easy coastal living.

Altogether, the property offers approximately five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with about 364 m2 of interior space and 431 m2 of total construction. Blending history, flexibility, and modern beach living, this villa is ideally suited for life in one of Costa Rica's most beloved beach communities--with built-in income potential.
