OCEAN VIEW 3 BEDROOM HOUSE STEPS TO THE BEACH!

MegRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Dean was great! He was available our entire stay if we needed anything. The deck was our favorite spot to have dinner and enjoy the views. Short walk to the pool and beach. Pool was very clean. The town of Ocotal doesn’t have much so you do have to drive into Coco for the necessities. If you have a car this isn’t an issue, maybe a 10-15 min drive. The beach was usually pretty quiet and it’s a perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling. Not a lot of wave action. We will recommend to our friends and family!

Beachfront Condo - Casa De Los Suenos - Costa Rica

DeeDeeRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Ron is a fantastic host and his place was perfect for our family of 4. The beach in front of the home was so peaceful and beautiful, and it’s a close drive to other lovely beaches as well. Inside was well appointed & the AC worked perfectly in every room. The sunset views from the patio were definitely something my family will always remember! Book Ron’s place… you won’t regret it!

You, Me and the Sea-Beachfront Property!

JonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Unbelievable stay. The beach is fantastic and such a short walk. We used the masseuse 5 times during our stay and there's nothing like an evening couples massage with the sounds of the ocean right outside. One of our favorite experiences, we'll be back.

Casa Aire. Unwind heaven. Beach & Airp.2 King bed

WilliamRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This place was better than the photos. I'm familiar with the area so may be different for someone who isn't. But this is a hidden gem right off the main street between Ocatal and Coco. Short walk to a carneceria, vegetable market, super mercado and the Buzzed Monkey bar and restaurant. I highly recommend this place whether you want peace and quiet or just a place to sleep and eat in between activities.

Vacation villa in Tamarindo

WhitneyRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Our stay overall was fantastic! The only things I would point out is that the photos made this place look much more spacious than it is, which happens sometimes. But this house is in a cute little circular community with a private gate, has a beautiful palapa outside the front door, and felt very safe. Also the property manager was very attentive and took care of everything we needed including setting up water delivery and fixing the AC immediately when we had a small leaking issue. The host was very gracious as well and gave me a partial refund when I had to leave early due to a death in my family. One thing I would recommend for future guests is to make sure you have some sort of transportation. While it is just a 15 min walk to the beach, the larger grocery stores and better restaurants are a bit far to walk to, and the street back to this house is uphill with little shade. We stayed a month and made it without renting a car, but groceries were a battle to come home with.

Casa Brisas del Mar- Luxury 6 Bedroom Home

MichaelRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Brisas del Mar. The house was extremely spacious & clean, with a ton of personal privacy. With how the property is laid out, there are 3 private apartments separate from the main house, each with a king size bed & private bathroom. The driveway for the house is long & a bit steep, though it's concrete. The roads getting to the house, for about the last 10 minutes of your drive, are compacted dirt/gravel - not paved. They are a bit bumpy due to erosion from the rain, but really not terrible. I'm not sure a 4x4 is needed, but probably an SUV at least. The beach at Puerto Viejo is about a 3 minute drive from the property and we saw no more than 10 people out there at a given time. It's about a 12 to 15 minute drive to Huacas for restaurants and grocery store options; 20 minutes to Brasilito for even more restaurant options and public beach access; 25-30 minutes to Playa Flamingo for sunset catamaran or other tour options; 35 minutes to Tamarindo.

California Beach Bungalow

Marie-FranceRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The villa was perfect for our needs! Beautiful backyard with the pool to relax; close to the beach. We could easily walk into town for the action and to great restaurants. We went on fishing charters and caught tuna, mahi mahi, rooster fish and lots of others. Our son was sick (nothing to do with Costa Rica) and needed to see a doctor and the receptionist at the hotel organized a house call in 20 minutes! Do not hesitate to rent John’s house!

JeffreyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house was as pictured and described - very close to the beach - within a 2 min walk Restaurants were within walking distance - we were there in the off season / rainy season and it was like having the whole area to ourselves - I would stay here again - The care takers of the house were also close by - the pool was nice and clean and the 2nd floor balcony was also nice to have. The house - bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. Clear directions and instructions were given a couple days in advance as communication from the host was also good.

Tamarindo's Hidden Gem, 3 BR Beachfront Home.

RachelRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again. The house is in the perfect location- a short walk to town and just steps from the beach. We also all fell in love with Missy. She is the sweetest dog. The owners are very responsive to any questions. They met us there to check in and even messaged me with restaurant and grocery store recommendations.

Luxury Beachfront Home/Sunsets by the pool

AmberRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This house is at least a 3-4 million dollar home. It’s perfect and I can’t believe how close to the beach you are. The infinity pool overlooks the entire ocean. We swam every morning and evening in the salt water pool. Highly recommend: 1. Rent a golf cart (Lia will arrange for you) 2. Have the professional chefs come one night and cook for you! Worth every penny and soooo good. Can’t wait to come back

This home was everything we dreamed of. Andrew and Brenda were also helpful with every question we had and recommendations for great local restaurants. The home was very clean and very well taken care of. Super close to town and Coco beach! If you’re looking for a beautiful home with the best view and host I would highly recommend staying at Andrew and Brenda’s home!
