Beachfront vacation rentals in Playa Negra

We felt right at home. An excellent location to spend quiet days. Charly is an excellent host, super attentive and friendly, a great guy, 100% recommended

Our family had an unforgettable stay at Felipe’s lovely Airbnb in Punta Cocles. The house was surrounded by beautiful jungle, and we regularly spotted monkeys, toucans, and colorful frogs right from the porch—it felt like our own private nature retreat. The beach was just a short, easy walk away, and it quickly became our favorite place to relax and watch the waves. Felipe was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our stay. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests having a great experience. We’re so grateful for his hospitality and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

Peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful place surrounded by nature. We’ve seen macaw parrots , agouits, hummingbirds , toucans, howler monkey, butterflies including blue morpho! Beautiful beach just right there in front of you. Monica very helpful. Definitely recommend!

Daniel went above and beyond to make sure we had nothing short of an amazing stay here in Casa Cocles! Daniel was checking on us through the trip to make sure we knew of the local spots and must-visit areas. He also greeted us with some fresh cut fruit to munch which was very refreshing! The location is at a really convenient spot that allowed for worry-less travel between different activities. We ended up visiting the animal rescuer center, countless Puerto Viejo restaurants, Cahuita National Park, BriBri tribe territory, lots of beaches , etc and these all felt very accesible and easy to get to with or without a rental car. Some tours even offer to pick us up exactly at Casa Cocles for free! We were super grateful and happy with our stay, and will definitely be coming back here for future getaways!

Lovely place for holidays, beautiful beach, and well located in the middle of Cocles beach, with shops and restaurants walking distance. Comfortable house for two couples or a family, well equipped. The bedroom downstairs is quite humid and also downstairs shower had issues. However the living space downstairs is amazing and as well upstairs bedroom and bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back. There are many birds in the trees, also monkeys and a sloth. We enjoyed also the nearby pool when the sea got rough. The area is very quiet and peaceful besides the unfortunate moment when one of the neighbours had a party. Cindy is very helpful and always available with a smile, and Julio was very responsive to our questions as well. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation, in a good location and close to the beach

We had a delightful stay! It was a special occasion, and Silvia was kind, thoughtful and very helpful. We felt comfortable and made ourselves at home. A truly memorable and one of a kind place. We hope to return again soon.

We had a very nice time with our two children at Andrea's. The accommodation was just the right size for us, the location in nature very heavenly and the surroundings quiet with two beaches within walking distance. Excellent cleaning, communication and support from Andrea. Could not have been better.

Beautiful accomodations with ipen air kitchen and modern, air-conditioned bedrooms/showers. Jungle enclave just a few hubdred meters from the black sand beach. On site swimming pool, comfortable sitting area and tables adacent to the pool. Bus stop and groceries just outside the gate. Easy walk along the beach to Puerto Viejo or take a tuk tuk for 2.000 colones. Host very responsive and proactive. Would stay here again and highly recommend

This home is a gem in disguise. The landscaping is absolutely beautiful. We came here for a week. It was a long drive from the San Jose international airport but well worth it. Very sweet local town. The people in the town are really nice. The food is absolutely delicious and clean. Ice cream is delicious. We had a wonderful vacation, celebrating our sister’s 60th birthday. We loved having the pool to relax at during the heat of the day. Great kitchen to make breakfast everyday. Grocery store is not far at all. The dog and 2 cats are so cute and sweet. I 100% recommend this beautiful paradise home to everyone. 🩷 Susana was fantastic!! Thank you to the owner for sharing your home

We came to the jungle villa in 2018. We were so enchanted by this house and the beauty of its surroundings that we knew we would be back again. Came back again for my birthday this year and yes it felt like home!! The people, the FOOD in the local restaurants, and the beauty of this country is amazing! Looking forward to returning someday. Thank you Leslie, Ana, and Arturo for being amazing hosts.

Honestly, this is the one. Rasta 420 friendly. Safe secure, private beach , nice pool, good restaurant, amazing host. Close enough to everything but far enough from everyone. This one is on my 100% stay again list. Pura Vida 🙌

It was a great stay. Pretty close to Puerto Viejo center and to the beach, easy to go walking everywhere. Was very clean and the attention from Jerome was amazing.

To begin with, Jerson is a super friendly, helpful and attentive person. And about the place you can walk to the nearest beach, to the supermarket, if you don't want to go out at night to eat because you prefer to stay in the tranquility of the hotel, Jerson congratulates you an express that offers you all kinds of food. The facilities are very nice, everything is very clean and super safe and quiet. I recommend it a thousand times 👌🏽

It was a very nice stay, with very well kept houses in the middle of a very special garden. The fully equipped house and the host's trust is amazing, plus the village of Cahuita and the National Park is highly recommended .

This airbnb is exactly as the pictures. It is absolutely beautiful and very spacious. Things to note is that only the lower bedrooms have AC. The upstairs living room was very nice! The house is private, but a lot further out from town so you’ll need transportation to and from as there are not many restaurants nearby. The host, Jorge was always very responsive and helpful. Overall we had such a great stay and can’t wait to be back.

What a magical place! Our family of five loved our stay at Amanda’s casita. It was clean and cool with a well equipped kitchen including a coffee maker, toaster and blender (which we used to make delicious smoothies!) The high ceilings and strong ceiling fans provided a welcome retreat from the heat and the mosquito netting over the beds gave us peace of mind at night. The beautiful calm waters of the Caribbean are literally steps from the front door which was ideal for our children (9, 7, & 5) as it made it easy to slip back and forth from beach to house throughout the day. There is reef right off the beach and with snorkeling gear we rented from Amanda we enjoyed spotting tropical fish. With everything so walkable we were able to slow down and spend our days between beach and hammock. In the evenings we would walk to a lovely beach side restaurant. Amanda organized a guide who took us on a very engaging & informative hike through Manzanillo wildlife refuge which the kids loved.

This place was wonderful, rustic, secluded, in the midst of nature and next to a beautiful, peaceful beach, Playa Negra! There is a restaurant with delicious food only a few steps down the beach, gorgeous setting; a grocery store just a bit further, also the police station and bus stop. We walked or rode bicycles to and from town nearly every day. You can take the main road along the beach or walk on the beach. Either way is so lovely! We rode the bus to places like Manzanillo and Cahuita. One day, we rented an ATV and went to some nearby waterfalls. Absolutely incredible!!!! The house is fun and relaxing. Anything you may want or need, just ask. They're really nice. Lynch and Pamela are fast to respond and very informative. This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and Lynch made it easy and enjoyable. He also does tours. We took a sloth and kayak tour, which we loved! We can hardly wait to return!

We spent 2 great nights in the house. We were greeted by Chana who is very nice and gives plenty of information and advice. In the garden, we saw toucans and wonderful birds and were awakened by the sound of howler monkeys. The kids remember it!! The accommodation is close to the beach, Cahuita and the park.

This home is the perfect beach villa! With a private pool surrounded by wonderful landscape, our family had a blast. Driving distance to anything you could need and walking distance to the black sand beaches (which feel like soft velvet)! Thanks for being wonderful hosts and we will be back 💛

The place is great love the location surrounded by friendly people and very close to local areas like grocery stores and walkable to the beach loved everything about this place.

Great spot within a stones throw of the ocean. The house has many amenities, but most valuable to us were the private bathrooms for each bedroom, each with climate controls; great shared living spaces (indoor and out); and tiny but awesome dunk pool. The house reflects some wear and tear but Rise was very responsive on issues.

Nice house away from town and right next to the beach, perfect for having a peaceful weekend.

We absolutely loved staying at Jan's place. Both Jan and Yoshi went above and beyond in answering any questions we had prior to arriving, including providing us a connection to book tours ahead of time. They were also flexible and kind when our plans changed a couple weeks before the trip, and we very much appreciated that. When there, they sent us lots of recommendations for beaches/restaurants, along with answering any questions we had promptly. The house was clean and the gardens were just stunning. With the private gate and location we felt safe staying there, and the possibility to lock valuables up in a safe was a great extra option. We loved being able to just walk a few steps to the beautiful beach even just to have our morning coffee by the water :) All in all, we would definitely recommend staying at Jan/Yoshi's place. The beautiful location combined with the responsive, helpful hosts made our trip so enjoyable. If ever in the location we would love to stay again!
