Costa Rica

Costa Rica used to be very off the beaten path. Though the secret may be out now about this glorious tropical destination, don’t think you’ll be bumping elbows with other tourists here. There’s plenty of Costa Rica to go around, and luxurious privacy is the name of the game; just you, your villa, the parrots and the monkeys.

    Once again, James has thought about everything my family is looking for in a Villa vacation. We had an amazing family vacation that exceeded our expectations. The Villa was beyond our imagination. It was pristine. The Staff was impeccable. They...

  • Serena, St. Martin

    We had an amazing vacation in St. Martin staying at the Villa Serena. Our group of 10 had very specific requests on the type and location of a villa. Wade listened to all our “wishes” and found the best...

  • The Resort, Spain

  • Villa Bash, Turks and Caicos

    WOW, WOW,WOW. This was our first trip through Sheldon James. Unfortunately no outer vacation will ever live up to what we experienced. We rented Villa Bash in Turks and Caicos for my wife’s 50th birthday with 5 other couples. We...

  • Villa Santa Cruz, Puerto Vallarta

    My team and I came to the Villa for a work retreat. What an absolute delight! Everything was wonderful, the staff were extremely accommodating and considerate. The food and villa itself were remarkable. An unforgettable experience – would definitely book...

Costa Rica can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you wish…or both, all in the same day. Known for its protected and biodiverse jungle and quiet beaches lining a rugged coast, especially in the Pacific provinces of Guanacaste and Puntarenas, activities on land and on the water abound. Golfing and spa retreats are also very popular here.
