Stay at the Hidden Beachhouse! The house is beachfront and consists of two floors with 4 bedrooms, an outdoor shower, free parking on the property and Wifi. ALL BEDROOMS HAVE AC. Take a sunset walk on the beach and fall asleep listening to the Caribbean ocean waves. The space Our Hidden Beachhouse is built in the traditional Caribbean way. It consists of two apartments which means that you also have 2 kitchens - ideal for a group of friends or also two families traveling together. Important: Our Airbnb is very new, so we don’t have a lot of reviews yet. But our co-host Yoshua lives next to the house and is a superhost on Airbnb (check out his profile if you like). Downstairs: On the ground floor you can find the main living room and a kitchen, two bedrooms with AC and one bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare simple meals. With a big window front, the living room opens up towards the outdoor terrace where you can enjoy your meals at the big dining table seating up to 8 people, relax in the lounge chair area, in the hammock or in one of our wooden benches around the house. Upstairs: On the first floor, we have another bedroom with a double bed, one bedroom with a single bed and a sofa bed (standard mattress, 100cm) in the living room. The upper apartment is built in the traditional Caribbean way that allows the ocean breeze to cool down the apartment during the night. That's why neither ACs nor ventilators are needed up here. Nevertheless, if you wish for a ventilator, we got you covered as well. The upper apartment comes with a fully-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. The living room opens up towards to balcony where you can find a small dining table for up to 4 people, a lounge chair area and 2 hammocks - with a lovely view of the garden. There is a washing machine which you can use. Garden: Take a walk on the natural path through the garden and discover all kinds of fruits, the biggest Guanacaste tree of the region (it would take approx. 6-8 people to hug it) as well as Costa Rica's wildlife that is crossing through and living in the natural part of our property (iguanas, colorful birds, sloths and monkeys). Sit still on one of the plenty spots downstairs & upstairs or whilst walking our path and observe the wildlife by eyes or with a pair of binoculars. Good luck! Location: Our Hidden Beachhouse is beachfront at Playa Negra: a beautiful, quiet and - like the name reveals - black sand beach. Leave the house in your bathing suit and dive into the Caribbean ocean within fifteen seconds! A few steps away from our house, you can not only find a beach hotel to grab a bite or enjoy an exotic drink at sunset, but also a small supermarket with everything you could wish for. The city center of vibrant Puerto Viejo is a six minute drive away, offering you a huge selection of restaurants, bars and shops. Close by, you can go snorkeling in the biggest reef of the Caribbean coast, touring chocolate farms and visit the famous animal rescue center. A perfect holiday spot.

Home in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

It is a very nice, comfortable house with a wonderful garden, and the best thing is that the beach is practically the house's patio.

Es una casa muy rica , cómoda , jardín maravilloso y lo mejor que la playa es prácticamente el patio de la casa

The location was great, the beach was just across the street. We could hear the waves from the patio! Yoshua was proactive in contacting us with directions for arrival. Yoshi met us a the property and gave us important information about using the gas stoves and the water (It is not potable.) The grounds are lovely and private with a gate. The house itself felt a little crowded for 6 adults. There are two small bedrooms and one bathroom on each floor. The kitchens were also small and not very well stocked, making meal preparation tough. Overall the space was rustic but the location made it worthwhile.

A very cozy, clean, and comfortable place. They welcomed us personally at the door and were available to help. The place is beautiful, with a real Caribbean vibe, close to downtown but far enough away that you don't feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle. It's located right across from Playa Negra; it's amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, truly beautiful.

Un lugar muy acogedor, limpio, cómodo, nos recibieron personalmente el la puerta y se pusieron a disposición. El lugar es hermoso, una auténtica vibra caribeña, cerca del centro, pero a suficiente distancia como para no sentirse abrumado por el bullicio. Se sitúa justo frente a playa negra, es increíble dormir con el ruido de las olas, realmente hermoso.

This is a truly beautiful accommodation surrounded by nature, with the ocean right in front—an absolutely stunning setting. We actually spotted more wildlife in the garden than in the nearby nature park, which was simply incredible. Communication was excellent and very fast, and we received a warm and personal welcome from Yoshi, which made us feel at home right away. The place is tastefully and simply furnished, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. It’s definitely a spot that encourages you to slow down and stay longer. Highly recommended!

The place was great! As a wildlife enthusiast and photographer it was wonderful. Birds in the mornings, all the poison dart frogs everywhere was awesome! The craziest part…. We watched a sloth fall out of the tree!  Like fully fell 40 feet from a tree and get right back up and climb again.  Beach is across the street, few walkable food joints but close enough to drive or take a bike or Tuk Tuk to town.

Overall a good accommodation (location, garden area, beds) but the house needs some deep cleaning and maintenance (we had issues with the light in the bathroom twice, the gas-stove had a defect and could not be used plus the safe needed to be opened professionally on our last day because it was not possible to open it anymore). The kitchen downstairs was ok but the upstairs kitchen was dirty and also not well equipped. 
The communication with yoshi was good, he responded fast and sent help where needed.

Thank you for your detailed review and for highlighting the positive aspects of the location, garden, and beds. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. The bathroom light and stove issue were addressed as soon as we were informed, and we appreciate your patience while we resolved them. Regarding the safe, a technician was called immediately to ensure it was opened safely. We take your comments about deep cleaning and kitchen equipment very seriously. Since your stay, we have reviewed our cleaning procedures and checked the upstairs kitchen to make sure everything meets our standards. We’re glad communication was smooth and that we were able to respond quickly when needed. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly appreciate it. We wish you all the best and hope to welcome you again in the future.

Great place! Super close to the beach and the host was super responsive. Would recommend this for people visiting Puerto Viejo!

It was wonderful! We had a great time using the Airbnb & everytime I come to Costa Rica, it just makes you appreciate you life even more

Great large authentic beachhouse but basic. Actually 2 apartments with separate entrances. Perfect for some. Beach is 1 min walking crossing a quiet road. The garden is fantastic and biodivers. Did our own little “safari”. The host was very responsive and proactive which I find essential. Value for money. Would recommend.

The property was beautiful and felt exotic. I also appreciated the amount of landscape varieties there were in the property. The road was kind of busy in front but mostly because of all of the construction going on in the area. It was easy to get to the beach and the towns close by. The only complaint I really had was that there weren’t enough towels. We had enough towels for each person have one for the entire stay. There also were not any beach towels which we didn’t come with because I thought the rental would have one. It also would have been nice to have beach items since it is beach front property. We would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at Jan's place was amazing. The house has a private garden, a lot of space, air conditioning and the beach is just across the street. It is pretty close to Puerto Viejo town. Communication was great and Jan & Yoshua were very kind. Thanks a lot for the nice stay!

Very nice place, it's hidden, but a super short walk from the beach. The house even has a trail to add to the tranquility. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a very good experience. Yosua was always attentive and flexible. Beautiful place.

Fue una muy buena experiencia. Yosua fue siempre atento y flexible. Hermoso lugar.

Beautiful stay, full of trees, birds and facing the sea, privacy, a heavenly place.  The host was charming and had a great attitude and was proactive.  It was a wonderful ride from start to finish. 100% recommended and we will definitely return!!!

Preciosa estancia, lleno de árboles, pajaritos y frente al mar, privacidad, un sitio paradisíaco.  El anfitrión fue encantador y con una excelente actitud y proactividad.  Fue un paseo maravilloso de principio a fin. 100% recomendado y fijo regresaremos!!!

The accommodation is located in the private area of Puerto Viejo. Outside town. It has a perfect silence to rest. In addition, it has direct access to the beach where you can rest all afternoon in the shade. I highly recommend the accommodation for those who wish to rest comfortably. The place is also close to the village where there are restaurants, shops, bars and everything you need, just 10 minutes away. There are activities nearby and the place is very nice.

El alojamiento se encuentra en la zona privada de Puerto Viejo. En las afueras del pueblo. Tiene un silencio perfecto para poder descansar. Además, tiene acceso directo  a la playa donde se puede descansar toda la tarde en la sombra. Recomiendo altamente el alojamiento para quienes deseen descansar cómodamente. El lugar además, está cerca del pueblo donde hay restaurantes, tiendas, bares y todo lo necesario, a solo 10 minutos. Hay actividades cerca y el lugar es muy lindo.

We had a nice stay. The bed was good, the air conditioning worked well and everything was clean on arrival. The location is great: close to the beach, with a beautiful garden full of fruit trees and a lovely outdoor shower. Also the contact with the host was pleasant. The apartment is nicely decorated, with a nice balcony – although the balcony is a bit on the small side to sit comfortably with more than two people. Some downsides were also: the bathroom is a bit dated, there is no extraction and there was some mold. The kitchen cabinets smell very musty inside. In addition, the freezer compartment in the refrigerator was broken. All in all, a great place with a good location and nice atmosphere, but there are some maintenance points.

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad. Het bed lag goed, de airco werkte uitstekend en alles was schoon bij aankomst. De locatie is top: dicht bij het strand, met een mooie tuin vol fruitbomen en een heerlijke buitendouche. Ook het contact met de host verliep prettig. Het appartement is sfeervol ingericht, met een mooi balkon – al is het balkon wat aan de krappe kant om er met meer dan twee personen comfortabel te zitten. Enkele minpunten waren er ook: de badkamer is wat gedateerd, er is geen afzuiging en er zat wat schimmel. De keukenkastjes ruiken van binnen erg muffig. Daarnaast was het vriesvak in de koelkast kapot. Al met al een prima plek met een goede ligging en fijne sfeer, maar er zijn wat onderhoudspuntjes.

Loved my stay at this location. Perfect if you like privacy, also not far from the main strip in the town. The property was beautiful from the distance to the beach to the actual property itself if you are into nature. Highly recommend booking this Playa Negra beachfront.

Jan and Yoshua's place was perfect for our family! There was plenty of space for our family of 5 . The location is perfect: gorgeous black sand beach right across the road, a small grocery a 2 min walk away, and a larger grocery a 15 minute walk away. This is the perfect spot for birdwatchers, since it is a large property with many mature trees and fruit trees, so we saw over 20 species of birds right on the property during our stay (including toucans!) Yoshua was very responsive and helped connect us to tours and a private transfer from San Jose. Yuri and Leo (who care for the property) were very helpful whenever we needed them. Other recommendations: The tour company Yoshua recommended, Green Cahuita, was excellent and we especially appreciated our guide Sasha for the Bribri chocolate tour. Soda Mirna, a short walk up the road, serves delicious Caribbean food. There is a small resort, Banana Azul, up the road where you can get excellent massages on the beach. Highly recommend!

This house was perfect for the 6 of us. Plenty of space and everything we needed. The setting is unbelievably beautiful, a garden you would almost pay to go and visit and then a hop over the road to the beach. We were visited in the garden by an iguana, a toucan, agoutis, humming birds and even a sloth. Magical.

Yoshua, Jan’s co-host was very responsive with any assistance we needed.  Property was very private and a walk across the beach.  Close to main restaurants and bars.  Thank you Yoshua and Jan for letting us stay your residence.

The house is beautiful. It's a private property. You can walk to different places in the area, and drive just for a litte while to the beaches. It is right across a narrow street from the ocean. You can hear the ocean all night long, then you will wake up to the singing of different birds around the house and even howler monkies, if they happen to be there. We had a very nice time. Jan and the staff on site took good care of us since the day we made the reservation.

This place is very safe. Good for a family trip, accommodated all 9 of us comfortably. Very close to several beaches, restaurants, and very secure. You will need to bring some of your own towels, and there is a washing machine but no dryer. Two cars can fit in the parking space but it’s a tight fit. Beach right across the street so sound of the ocean puts you to sleep! Value solid for the price. Good for traveling with kids. There is only a gas stove, no microwave.

We loved Jan’s place so much! Saw wonderful wildlife in the backyard alone. Nothing beats the proximity to the beach.

Six of us stayed a week at Jan's place, and it was wonderful. It was as described, with a very clean, well kept house, and beautiful grounds. The house is right across the road from the beach, and about 2km from town, but is easily walkable and there is a resort with a small store very close. Jan's manager Yoshua was fantastic. He set up transport from San Jose, and had someone over in minutes after we locked the keys in the upstairs unit. We would absolutely recommend Jan's house, and if you go look for the large iguana we named Ignacio that was there.

The accommodation is in Playa Negra, literally in front of the beach (10/10 location). The rooms have A/C and are very spacious. They allowed us to bring pets, which is a plus… Ample parking. We had a small problem with the water but Josh fixed it immediately. We look forward to returning soon.

El alojamiento está en playa negra literalmente frente a la playa (locación 10/10) Los cuartos con A/C y muy espacioso. Nos permitieron llevar mascotas lo cual es un plus… Parqueo amplio. Tuvimos un pequeño inconveniente con el agua pero Josh lo resolvió de manera inmediata. Esperamos volver pronto.

We had a great time at Jan’s place. Beach right across from the house. The property grounds are beautiful and full of fruit trees, perfect for a morning walk. We wished we could have stayed longer!

We rented this place to gift our (adult) kids with a trip for Christmas and celebrate our 30th anniversary! This unit was everything we could have dreamed - clean & secure! Our kids shared the upstairs unit while my husband and I were downstairs. They lived every minute of this vacation!! Living in the separate unit allowed them to operate as independent adults (in their 20s) but also do some things together with us as a family. We were connected Green Cahuita tours & they made our stay unforgettable!! We hiked, surfed, explored and kayaked with our kids! The kids also took advantage of the nearby bike rentals to bike to town every evening to interact with adults their age. They said the vibe was beautiful and they went back just about every night. The house was very secure and perfectly located for access to everything!!! We also had no reservations about our kids exploring in the evenings without us. The area was safe and we felt very relaxed allowing them to be young and free.

This was the perfect place for us, the house it’s self was amazing but the location is what made it so perfect.

Beautiful House in a quiet area. Really nice garden with various trees and even a lot of wild animals to see. Everything was well equipped and really clean. Can only recommend.

The house is in a quiet area, though the road between it and the beach can get a little busy with traffic during work hours - it didn’t bother us. Once in the gate you feel fairly well cocooned. There’s a small hotel/resort 3 minute walk away with great food and different lunch and dinner menus. There’s also a small grocery with all the essentials. The surrounding area has plenty to do. There were about a dozen power losses during our four days. They were usually brief. We think it was due to power line pole replacement on the main road. There were lots of birds, butterflies and small animals around the garden. We were pleased to discover that the upstairs bedrooms received air conditioning between our booking and stay. We have made the suggestion to add a microwave and some beach towels (only indoor towels are provided). Some additional cushioned seating would be appreciated. For three of us, one was always on a hard chair when together. Hosts were very responsive and kind.

Beautiful space for several people. It has everything you need, comfortable, quiet, clean, great location.

Hermoso espacio para varias personas. Tiene todo lo necesario, cómodo, tranquilo, limpio, excelente ubicación.

Very nice place, pretty surroundings and close to the beach!

Good location, the second floor does not have air conditioning and is not clear in the listing.

Ubicación buena, el segundo piso no cuenta con aire acondicionado y no es claro en el anuncio.

En el anuncio esta claramente descrito que no hay aire acondicionado en la parte de arriba.

Jan’s location is just about 50 mts from the beach which is a beautiful beach. The house was very clean and super cozy, I certainly recommend this place if you want to stay on a private house with a beach front

The place is beautiful. Plenty of fruit trees to enjoy. I felt very safe. It is as described and pictured. Two apartments, upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs apartment has a hammock; NO AC, but on nice cool nights you don’t need it and fans are provided. Downstairs has AC in the rooms and a beautiful view. The host was responsive and took care of our needs. I would recommend and return. Thank you!

The house is perfectly positioned, facing the sea but far enough from the village so you can decide whether to enjoy the privacy of Playa Negra or go to bars and shops or to UVA beach which is about twenty minutes away. The garden of the house is beautiful and if you season you can enjoy its fruits. We also relaxed with the kids and hope to come back one day!

La casa è posizionata in maniera perfetta, di fronte al mare ma abbastanza lontana dal paese così da poter decidere se godere della privacy di playa negra o andare per bar e negozi o verso playa uva che dista circa venti minuti. Il giardino della casa è stupendo e se si stagione potrete godere dei relativi frutti. Ci siamo rilassati anche con i bambini e speriamo un giorno di tornare!

Super stay! Luxury beach in front and even a lazy we got goodbye on the last day!

Super estadía! Playa de lujo en frente y hasta un perezoso nos despidió el último día!

This is very good location, across the beach, many beaches at a very close distance. Restaurants and supermarkets at walking distance. Very comfortable house.

A remarkable location and a very beautiful accommodation 50m from the sea. Beautiful garden, the house is nice, comfortable and equipped. We enjoyed our stay for 6 people. The accommodation is close to Puerto Viejo and Cahuita. I highly recommend staying in the area 👍

Un emplacement remarquable et un très beau logement à 50m de la mer. Beau jardin, la maison est agréable, confortable et équipée. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à 6 personnes. Le logement est à proximité de Puerto Viejo et de Cahuita. Je recommande vivement pour un séjour dans le secteur 👍

The house is perfect for visiting Cahuita's house. Joshua was very attentive and provided us with charcoal to do the barbecue, as well as directions to nearby supermarkets and restaurants. Recommend the house to stay

La casa es perfecta para visitar la casa de Cahuita .Joshua estuvo muy atento y nos proporcionó carbón para hacer la barbacoa,así como indicaciones sobre supermercados y restaurantes cercanos .Recomiendo la casa para alojarse

A lovely house that is just as described. The beach is just over the road and the garden is simply beautiful. We loved watching the iguanas and birds from the upstairs balcony. Such a shame the bananas weren’t ripe enough to pick during our stay! Puerto Viejo had some great restaurants for the evenings, but we also cooked in some nights as the kitchens were well equipped. It was very hot when we stayed so we ended up all squashing into the air conditioned rooms on the ground floor which provided lots of giggles. Oh, the only thing not mentioned was the tap water comes from a well and apparently isn’t the best for drinking. Having already toured Costa Rica for a couple of weeks and been able to drink the tap water elsewhere, we’d probably got a little too relaxed and drank a few glasses before thinking to ask. Fortunately all was ok!

Nice house with several rooms in front of the beach. We were given the flexible check-in option, which was quite helpful. I feel like it's a very good option considering the price. Recommended!

Bonita casa con varios cuartos al frente de la playa. Nos dieron la opción de check-in flexible, lo cual fue bastante útil. Siento que es una muy buena opción considerando el precio que tiene. Recomendado!

House located next to the beach. Very nice garden, ample and cared for. Comfortable apartment for 4 people. Well equipped

Casa ubicada junto a la playa. Jardin muy bonito, amplio y cuidado. Apartamento comodo para 4 personas. Bien equipado

Our stay was sooo amazing! The house & yard were beautiful. Host was friendly and sent lots of recommendations and our maintenance guy picked us fresh fruit. Would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jan‘s place. Especially the beach across the street and the many fruits in the big garden were nice. We also received some helpful tips for the region from Yoshua.

Jan’s place is a great location. However, be sure to notice that if you rent the entire house- the top floor and the bottom floor are not connected and the top floor does not have AC. This made it extremely uncomfortable for the people who slept upstairs to sleep or rest during the day. The price did not match the quality of the Airbnb.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you found the location of the place to be great. I'm sorry to hear that the separation of the floors and the lack of AC on the top floor made your stay uncomfortable. Your comfort is very important to us, and I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate your input and will consider this feedback to improve our listing description and amenities. If there's anything more we can do to make it right or if you'd like to discuss further, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you for staying with us, and I hope we have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Best regards

This house was beautiful, inside and out! Very close to the beach, with beautiful amenities and nature all around the house. It was a perfect fit for our group of 8 and Jan was so helpful in every aspect of our stay!

We had a wonderful time in this house. Nice house in a super special green garden. Fantastic to see different animals, birds in the garden every day. Beach is a few meters from the house. Kids loved it, the high waves. Within a few minutes drive you were in Puerto Viejo, where there are many nice restaurants. Top house, great place and nice host!

We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in dit huis. Fijn huis in een super bijzondere groene tuin. Fantastisch om verschillende beesten, vogels elke dag in de tuin te zien. Strand is een paar meter van het huis. Kids vonden het geweldig, de hoge golven. Binnen een paar minuten rijden was je in Puerto Viejo, waar veel leuke restaurants zitten. Top huis, super plek en fijne host!

We stayed using both apartments. The house is beautiful, cozy immersed in a large tropical Giadino. Leaving the gate you are in front of a wonderful Caribbean beach.  It was nice to relax in the garden and feel the roar of the ocean in the background.

Abbiamo soggiornato utilizzando entrambi gli appartamenti. La casa è bella, accogliente immersa in un grande giadino tropicale. Uscendo dal cancello ti trovi davanti ad una meravigliosa spiaggia caraibica.  È stato bello rilassarsi nel giardino e sentire in sottofondo il rugito dell'oceano.

Fantastic house and host, beach in front of the house is beautiful. Hosts were responsive, helpful, and flexible. We loved our stay here.

Had a great stay. Yoshi was very quick to reply and even greeted us when we first got in at 2AM! 🙏🏼 thanks Yoshi for the great communication. Only down side was that there is no AC upstairs!!!! We assumed since AC was listed for the Airbnb, that AC would be upstairs as well, so some family members had no AC… that was the only frustration our family had

Beautiful accommodation, with great location and excellent equipment. I highlight the kindness of Yoshua, with whom we maintained a fluid contact and resolved our concerns.

Hermoso alojamiento, con una gran ubicacion y excelente equipamiento. Destaco la amabilidad de Yoshua, con quien mantuvimos un contacto fluido y resolvio nuestras inquietudes.

Amazing location and comfortable home. The beach is amazing, secluded and not crowded. Note that there is no AC on the second floor.

Gorgeous location, loved the trails with poison dart frogs and fresh coconuts, the rooms were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Excellent place, wonderful location. Perfect for hanging out at the beach. We loved it.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING location! Tropical paradise. This two apartment style vacation home is in one of the most beautiful Equatorial Caribbean settings imaginable. The home is surrounded by Jungle trees, flowers, fruit for-the-picking, and birds granting amazing privacy. The grounds include a circular walking trail around this rain-forest property. Two minutes of walking and you can profit from secluded meditation and your morning Costa Rican coffee. Oh, and you can hear the ocean waves pounding a hundred yards away on the uncrowded Playa Negra beach. The Garden of Eden. BUT, Jan has shortchanged this retreat in two areas easily improved: > There are NO living room area comfortable chairs. Our group of five had to make do with rock-hard wooden dining chairs for leisure relaxing and chatting. NOT acceptable. > There is NO outdoor grill or barbeque. Our on-site property Host, the WONDERFUL YOSHI, had to bring us his personal grill for cooking our outdoor meals.

Amazing place! I would definitely stay here again. Private, quiet, and fully equipped place, close to the beach.

A beautiful place with an incedible private garden. Secluded and quiet with direct access to the beach, but easily accessible from Puerto Viejo by car or bike. We had a great stay!

I went with all my family and we all loved it! The green area is beautiful and super relaxing, the house super comfortable and clean… as shown in the pictures. Yoshua was the one who was always attentive to us, very friendly and thoughtful. Highly recommended! 🌴❤️

Fui con toda mi familia y a todos nos encantó! La zona verde es hermosa y súper relajante, la casa súper cómoda y limpia… tal y como se muestra en las fotos. Yoshua fue quien estuvo pendiente siempre de nosotros, muy amable y atento. ¡Súper recomendada! 🌴❤️

We had a great few days in Puerto Viejo. Communication with Joshua on site worked out very well! The location of the house in the middle of a wonderful garden is perfect- directly in front of the house the beach and also all the highlights of the region can be reached on foot/by bike/car in a short time. The house offers everything you need in terms of amenities; only while cooking there was a missing extractor hood in the lower apartment regularly in the sweat and dining aqualm. A special thanks again for the recommendations for surfing! Pura Vida🤙🏼

Wir hatten ein paar tolle Tage in Puerto Viejo. Die Kommunikation mit Joshua vor Ort hat sehr gut geklappt! Die Lage des Hauses inmitten eines wunderbaren Gartens ist perfekt- direkt vor dem Haus beginnt der Strand und auch alle Highlights der Region lassen sich zu Fuß/ mit dem Fahrrad/ dem Auto in kurzer Zeit erreichen. Das Haus bietet an Ausstattung alles was man braucht; lediglich beim Kochen standen wir durch eine fehlende Dunstabzugshaube in der unteren Wohnung regelmäßig im Schweiß und Essensqualm. Ein besonderes Danke auch nochmal für die Empfehlungen zum Surfen! Pura Vida🤙🏼

excellent choice, practically in Puerto Viejo but enough distance for privacy and tranquility

excelente opción, prácticamente en Puerto Viejo pero suficiente distancia para privacidad y tranquilidad

yoshua was very responsive, and he made sure we had a great time in Puerto Viejo

Very well located. Close to the village by car, just a couple of minutes away. Host is very nice and responsive. The house is equipped with oil and salt. All works fine. It also has a washing machine. Well located. Close to the town center, only a few minutes away. The host was very kind and helpful. The house has basic kitchen ingredients as salt or oil. Everything works very good. Also, it has a laundry machine.

Muy bien ubicado. Cerca del pueblo en coche, a tan solo un par de minutos. El anfitrión es muy bueno y atento. La casa está provista de aceite y sal. Todo funciona bien. Además tiene lavadora. Well located. Close to the town center, only a few minutes away. The host was very kind and helpful. The house has basic kitchen ingredients as salt or oil. Everything works very good. Also, it has a laundry machine.

Great locations to stay at if you want to stay by Puerto Viejo. Our co-host was extremely helpful and always ready to give suggestions. Thank you for being so flexible !

Our family really enjoyed our visit. The property was exactly as described and the beach and town are an easily walkable distance away. The host was also very responsive and had helpful recommendations. Would love to return someday!

Due to a lot of views due to Costa Rica, but this was really great! Nice location, nice house, nice beach in front of the door and everything remotely. Last but not least our compliments for Yoshi who was a top host!

Vanwege rondreis door Costa Rica veel gezien, maar dit was echt top! Mooie locatie, mooi huis, fijn strand voor de deur en alles op afstand. Tot slot onze complimenten voor Yoshi die een top gastheer was!

Place is just like the pictures! The place was super tidy and clean. Communication with Yoshua was very good, and he was always attentive to help us and resolve any issues that arose. Overall, we had a great time, I would come back, and I would definitely recommend this stay.

El lugar es igual que en las fotos! El lugar estaba súper ordenado y limpio. La comunicación con Yoshua fue muy buena, siempre estuvo atento a ayudarnos y a resolver los inconvenientes que se presentaban. En general la pásamos súper bien, volvería y recomendaría sin lugar a duda este hospedaje.

Thank you very much to the hosts, always attentive and all quality. Regards!

Muchas gracias a los anfitriones, siempre atentos y todo de calidad. Saludos!

I really liked that it was a few minutes from downtown, so it gave a sense of privacy. A very clean, clean, nice and comfortable place, close to the beach. Great for large families. Communication with host was direct and clear communication We want to go back

Me gusto mucho que estaba a unos minutos del centro, por lo cuál daba sensación de privacidad. Un lugar muy limpio, aseado, agradable y cómodo, cerca de la playa. Excelente para familias grandes. La comunicacióncon el anfitrión fue directa y clara. Ya queremos volver.

The accommodation was perfect in such a beautiful and private location. Very quiet, and our host was incredible. Thank you so much.

We stayed here for nine days and it was amazing! Right across the beach and felt like it was our own private spot. The host  was very helpful with recommendations to doing local activities. The place was clean and I would stay again!

Beautiful place, peaceful, great location, and perfect for staying focused and recharge energizes. It is near to some great restaurants like Cocomar to experience the best of Costa Rica’s Caribean food. In general, I’d say this place is perfect for digital nomads, groups, and families.

Jan was an excellent host who was communicative and friendly. The place was beautiful, and we spent so much time right around the corner at Banana Azul, an outdoor restaurant and cocktail bar. You could order drinks and food while you lounged on the beach or go to the restaurant to sit in their tropical environment. Also within a 3 minute walk was a nice mini market and tour stand. The house itself was beautiful, and it was nice to have the AC on the first floor. You could drive into town in five minutes or take a 15 minute walk. Loved it and would go back again!

This was the perfect spot for my family and I. We felt very safe and comfortable! The beach is literally a 15 second walk from the house. The beach is to die for! House was clean and our host was very nice and helpful!

We had an excellent experience, very good attention from Yosuha, always attentive to respond and the place is beautiful

Beautiful house with your own little jungle. Located right on the sea. Small shopping and a hotel with beach bar and restaurant right next door. Yoshua always responded super fast and was incredibly hospitable. We can absolutely recommend this accommodation.

Wunderschönes Haus mit eigenem kleinen Dschungel. Direkt am Meer gelegen. Kleine Einkaufsmöglichkeit und ein Hotel mit Beachbar und Restaurant direkt nebenan. Yoshua hat immer super schnell reagiert und war unglaublich gastfreundlich. Wir können diese Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen.

Really amazing place right at the beach. We immediately felt at home when we arrived, this place has great, warm energy. Puerto Viejo is close by and the house provides everything you need. We stayed here twice during our trip and it was one of our favorite homes. Would definitely come again!

Yoshua was the perfect host. Very responsive, he lives next door. The place was neat, beautiful and very close to the beach. I will definitely come back again one day. Strongly recommend.

Height was the Beautiful grounds that come with the Airbnb, the home is right across the street from the beach in playa negra a bit away from the main city of PV and a 20 min drive from the other beaches like punta uva. Half of the home has AC and it is bilevel split into two apartments with different keys. Gated with the cohost staying nearby felt secure - a nice and clean and no frills kind of beach house. No issue with bugs or rain in the house. Showers with hot water.

We had a great stay , but too short. The property surrounding the house is incredible. The main floor AC was much appreciated. The upper floor has vaulted ceiling with good ventilation so my kids did not complain about the heat in their upstairs bedrooms and living areas. If you love the sound of the ocean, this is the place for you. We do recommend this place to anyone heading to the Puerto Viejo area. Thanks Yoshua for your hospitality. Glenn & Christine M.

The house was absolutely beautiful and super private! The beach was literally feet away and there’s a corner store super close by! Yoshua was great he really helped us out with recommendations and transportation. I definitely recommend!

A beautiful house with a large and very nice garden! The beach is right in front of the house and downtown Puerto Viejo a few kilometers away. The place is very safe, the house has everything and the hosts are very friendly and respond quickly. We highly recommend staying at this place!

Una casa preciosa con un jardín grande y muy lindo! La playa está justo en frente de la casa y el centro Puerto Viejo a pocos kilómetros. El lugar es muy seguro, la casa tiene de todo y los anfitriones son muy amigables y responden rápido. Muy recomendable quedarse en este hospedaje!

We loved the house, it is in a very quiet area and at the perfect distance from Puerto Viejo. Everything was very clean and tidy, Yoshua was on the lookout the whole time to help us. Our stay was definitely a 10/10

Nos encantó la casa, está en una zona muy tranquila y a la distancia perfecta de Puerto Viejo. Todo estaba muy limpio y ordenado, Yoshua estuvo al pendiente todo el tiempo para ayudarnos. Definitivamente nuestra estadía fue un 10/10
