Discover an exceptional coastal retreat just 200 meters from the beach in Monterrico. This spacious 4-bedroom residence offers a private pool, expansive tropical grounds, and an abundance of space for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the laid-back luxury of Guatemala's Pacific coast.
Set on an impressive 1,800 m² (19,375 sq ft / 2,576 v²) lot, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, generous outdoor space, and proximity to the beach — making it an ideal private residence, vacation home, or investment opportunity.
Step through the gates and the grounds open up into a lush, palm-shaded oasis. Towering coconut palms and mature tropical trees frame manicured lawns kept green year-round by an installed irrigation system, giving the whole estate the feel of a private resort. At its heart is a beautiful free-form swimming pool with an integrated shallow lounging area and a signature compass-rose inlay on the pool floor — a nod to the home's relaxed nautical spirit — with a shaded palapa rising right at the water's edge.
Entertaining is what this property was built for. A magnificent full-height thatched-roof palapa anchors the garden, complete with a fully tiled outdoor bar in hand-painted Guatemalan talavera, bar seating, a refrigerator, and room for a crowd — perfect for sunset drinks, big family gatherings, or hosting guests after a day at the beach. Slung hammocks, multiple shaded lounge and seating areas, and a separate pergola-covered terrace mean there's always a comfortable spot in the shade, whatever the time of day.
Inside, the main residence carries the same easy coastal elegance. Soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of windows draw in light and garden views, while warm terracotta Saltillo tile floors, accented with decorative talavera inserts, run throughout. The open living area is anchored by a sweeping curved sectional and cooled by ceiling fans, opening naturally to the kitchen and dining spaces. The kitchen is generously scaled for entertaining, with abundant tiled counter space, a breakfast bar, gas range, and full-size refrigeration, all under a run of handsome hanging lantern pendants. Playful, tasteful nautical touches — sailboats, a compass rose, a friendly gecko on the wall — give the home genuine character and a true beach-house soul.
The residence offers four comfortable bedrooms spread across two levels, dressed in the same warm terracotta tile and thoughtfully furnished. Configurations range from a spacious primary with a king bed and air conditioning to family- and guest-friendly rooms with twin and bunk arrangements — ideal for large families or groups. An upper-level bedroom opens to a curved private balcony overlooking the gardens and pool.
Located just 200 meters from the sand in Monterrico — Guatemala's most beloved Pacific beach town, known for its dramatic black-sand shoreline, sea-turtle sanctuary, and mangrove estuary — this estate places you within easy reach of the water while offering the privacy and space that are so rare this close to the coast. Whether you're looking for a turnkey family beach compound, a high-capacity vacation rental, or a standout coastal investment, this is a property that simply offers more.
