About Us

The name, Villa Magnolia, is a reference
to both our home state of Mississippi,
where the Magnolia is the state flower,
and the beautiful magnolia tree, which is
indigenous to the jungles of Costa Rica.
Thus, Villa Magnolia symbolizes the
harmony between both our homeland
and our new adopted home.

We want to welcome you to Villa
Magnolia – where dreams take flight and
memories are made amidst the splendor
of Costa Rica.

Our Story

Our journey began with the movie “Endless Summer II” and a dream to surf Witch’s Rock. When we finally made the journey, we couldn’t help but fall in love with everything about this beautiful country. The waves are amazing, the people are friendly, and the experience is incomparable. We had such a wonderful time that we decided to retire in this amazing country. After much searching, we finally found what we considered to be an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.

Unfortunately, it’s a bit too soon for us to think about full-time retirement, so we thought we’d share our home with others so that they can also experience this beautiful country.

After extensive research, we decided to manage our home ourselves and rent by referral only. Our hope is that by not listing on AirBnB or other listing sites, we can lower our costs and pass those savings on to our guests. By renting to only select individuals, we limit the possibility of theft and damage, and we can avoid all the “add on” fees imposed by those sites. Thus, the price we quote is the price you pay. We hope that by taking this approach, we can offer an exclusive, luxury experience at a price substantially below comparable rentals in the area.
