Las Olas, furnished beachfront cabin with pool. - Cabins for Rent in Matapalo, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

10/10 for sure! Andy was so helpful and provided first class service. The property was absolutely amazing, world class waves just step away and we saw so many monkeys and parrots. We have been living in Costa Rica on and off for about 20 years and this is by far our favorite placed we stayed. We will be back very soon. We highly recommend Andy’s place.

Abrazos hermana. I look forward to seeing all y’all again! Fun crew!

At Andy’s place the adventure comes to you. People pay to be taken out into the jungle for tours to see wildlife that showed up in our yard with no effort. The road to matopalo is rough - can’t be passed without 4wd. I wish we’d had higher suspension in ours but we managed. Stop at the bakery and the BM supermarket in PJ for food and stock up. There is no reason to return to PJ during your stay at Andy’s if you have enough food/drinks. Bring coconut oil for your legs to prevent sand fleas (this applies to all Costa Rica) deet also works but natural is better. I would call the experience *top notch glamping* you’re really outdoors and one with nature the whole time. Unbelievable surroundings with a bed and pillows, hot running water and a working range. Perfect for my family who’s used to campervan camping. Backwash bay was perfect for swimming. Andy’s place was perfect for watching surfers, sunrises and sunsets. Keep an eye out for bioluminescence after sunset!! & THE SWING AH!

Great place, bring some groceries and settle in for some off grid immersion in beautiful nature.

it‘s a lovely place, close to the beach and basically in the jungle, lots of wildlife like monkeys, aras, agutis etc… a proper experience… the house is simple but offers all you need… would go there again

Beautiful place, full of lots of wildlife and nature

Hermoso lugar, lleno de mucha fauna y naturaleza

Our Family of 5 really enjoyed it here. This is a a very special place and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, or just wanting to relax. We did both. The tree climb was a unique and memorable experience. Myself and our 12 & 14 old all made it to the top. The jump out was exhilarating. .  Andy’s son was absolutely great. What an amazing life. Thank you Talon for the fresh caught fish!   So thoughtful!……We’ll get that ping pong game in next time!. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

We had a great week at Andy's place. The entire space is open air, which means we woke up to the sounds of the birds and monkeys each morning. The solar system powers a full size fridge, lights and outlets throughout. Propane powers the gas range and water heaters in each of the showers. The bedrooms / bathroom space are awesome with private open air showers and beds under mosquito nets. The property itself is oceanfront with a beautiful beach, surf break and good fishing. We loved jumping in the pool to cool off and our boys couldn't get enough of the huge tree-swing in Andy's back yard. We had a mid-size 4x4 to get around and it was needed to make it the last 2km down the road to Andy's place. We loved exploring the area - including a highly recommended tree climbing adventure with Andy and trips to Martina's and Carate, Backwash Bay, Playa Dulce, and Sombrero beaches.

Thanks Allison and the boys! I really, really hope you come back next year and we can do even more adventures. Michaels story about the false killer whales is making the rounds on our sundowner/sticks gatherings.

Andrew was fantastic. Very informative about the animals and the area.  The location is ideal, right on the Ocean. Beautiful gardens and a great swimming pool.

We enjoyed it a lot with Andy! The location in nature and right by the sea is fantastic. Andy as a host was very friendly, straightforward and helpful.

Wir haben es bei Andy sehr genossen! Die Lage in der Natur und direkt am Meer ist traumhaft. Andy als Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit.

We had an amazing time at Andrew’s cabin in the jungle. Matapalo is to die for - it’s the perfect “Swiss family Robinson” get away. Andrew was great - always around to guide us in the right direction but never overstayed his welcome. He showed us the monkeys, sloths and wildlife on his property and checked in every day to make sure we were happy. The cabin is not for the faint of heart as it has no windows and is totally open to the elements to help air flow in the hot weather. It was perfect by day, but just a little scary at night as the sounds of the jungle tended to keep us awake in fear that something might get in. On the flip side, if you want a vacation completely in the wilderness, surrounded by amazing scenery, the most beautiful beaches and wildlife you’ve probably never seen before, this is definitely the place for you. We are already making plans to go back next year. We loved Matapalo and Andrew made it perfect!

The Osa Peninsula and this property are not for the feint hearted, it’s remote and in the thick of nature. If that’s what your looking for this place is brilliant and made for a very special holiday. Nestled near a couple of properties, Andy is nearby and so helpful for sharing local knowledge and advice on anything, but still private and peaceful. Right on the beach with lovely hammocks and benches to watch the sunrise and waves from. Swimming pool is a bonus as the ocean is too powerful for swimming. Basic kitchen equipment but enough to get by fine. You should really have a 4x4 to get here. Do a big supermarket shop in Jimenez on the way down as there’s no other shops once you pass there, but a few really lovely restaurants around 20 mins drive away, take cash. This is Costa Rican wilderness living at its best. Would love to come back one day.

Andrew’s place in Matapalo is exactly as described…beautiful, remote and peaceful. We spent 3 nights there. We enjoyed the location as we were there to hike, chill, enjoy the beach and experience the cool and abundant wildlife. The property is rustic…meaning as described, it is an open kitchen and 2 separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need pots, pans, utensils, and surprisingly good knives. The pool is awesome. Small but deeper than we thought it would be, super clean and totally refreshing. The views from the cabin itself and the property are just beautiful. Andrew was super helpful from start to finish. I asked him for a taxi suggestion, and he hooked us up with a great local named Oscar who was great. I would definitely stay here again.

What a perfect location in one of the most amazing places in Costa.  The Osa is such a unique and beautiful place on its own but when you add the perfect place to call home while your there is just icing on the cake. Andy was such a wonderful person to have met and definitely a wealth of information! communication was never an issue and had lots great suggestions for the area since he has been there for a while.  Loved making breakfast in the open air kitchen and walking down to the "hammocks" a few steps away to the most amazing beautiful beach view, which always included macaws monkeys and even sited a humpback whale in the distance.  Enjoyed walks around the area just waiting to look up in the trees to see what wildlife may be visible.  Surf is amazing just right out front or take a walk to backwash or Pan dulce for swimming or surfing.  This truly is the perfect place and location for a true Osa experience.

Hey Jennifer. You guys were a delight and I only miss not being there the whole time. Mil gracias for tended to the animals during my absence! I look forward to your return. Todo los días! Andy

Andrew was a lovely, knowledgeable and gracious host, sharing his insights on the many animals and highlights of the area. The location is incredible - steps away from the beach and easy walking distance to other points of interest and beaches. There was a swing, ping pong table and more for fun with the kids. While we were there we saw so many animals and lush varieties of plants. It’s a true slice of paradise.

The high light of our trip! Nice wooden cabin in the middle of the jungle 100m from an amazing beach. Feeling of connection with nature and wildlife, a real adventure for us and the kids. Andrew couldnt be a better host, great hike and tree climbing with the kids. Would  love to come back! Andrew’s place and Cabo Matapalo are the real expression of Pura Vida!

We loved Las Olas. Such a cool vibe, open air casita right in front of Matapalo break. You can sit out front and watch the monkeys in the trees or take the path to the beach to check out the surf.  Andy was super welcoming and a great host. His tree climbing tour was amazing. I highly recommend it. It’s not every day you get to hang out with monkeys in the trees.

This place is super cute and right in front of matapalo surf break. Andrew is a super nice guy and incredible host.

My family and I had an amazing vacation at Las Olas.  The house was perfect, clean and welcoming, right next to the beach. It was wonderful to have a pool as well, for the kids to go swimming without us parents having to watch as closely. We woke up to the Howler monkeys every morning, and got visits from white faced and spider monkeys all the time as well.  We even got to see Squirrel monkeys, which are very rare.  Matapalo is the place where we have felt closest to nature, and living in an open format house is an awesome way to experience this wild place (as long as you have an adventurous, nature loving spirit). One night we were blessed with beautiful bioluminescence... we loved walking into the water and seeing our arms and legs lighting up like a light show.  Andy was also an amazing host, sharing ping pong, basketball, and the coolest swing with the kids. We took a tour with him (psychotours.com) and absolutely loved hiking with him, learning all about the plants and animals as we walked (he is a biologist), drinking water right from a little waterfall, eating termites, and then climbing and jumping out of a beautiful tree. So much fun! Andy even made a bonfire for us on our final night, where we roasted marshmallow an celebrated a nephew's birthday. All in all it was an unforgettable, lovely vacation. We will be back!!

It was a great stay. The information fully matches. The place was very nice and practically furnished. We enjoyed the sunrises by the sea each with a coffee. The beach is beautiful, a bit wild. Great waves for the more advanced. The beach is not necessarily suitable for bathing, among other things, because of the stones. However, it has two hammocks and also other seating. We saw many macaws and capuchin monkeys during our stay at the cottage. As well as a sloth, a hummingbird, many other birds, a nose bear and an aguti. Andy was a very good host. We did two tours with him (TreeClimbing & hiking) which were very interesting. The path was rather adventurous and you have to shop in Puerto Jimemez (about 45-60 minutes by car). At Martina's (about 15 min by car) we ate excellently twice. We will be happy to come back.

Es war ein grossartiger Aufenthalt. Die Angaben stimmen völlig überein. Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und praktisch eingerichtet. Wir haben die Sonnenaufgänge am Meer jeweils mit einem Kaffee sehr genossen. Der Strand ist wunderschön, eher etwas wild. Super Wellen für eher Fortgeschrittene. Der Strand ist nicht unbedingt zum Baden geeignet unter anderem wegen der Steine. Es hat jedoch zwei Hängematten und auch andere Sitzmöglichkeitein. Wir haben während unseres Aufenthaltes beim Häuschen viele Aras und Kapuzineraffen gesehen. Sowie ein Faultier, ein Kolibrie, viele andere Vögel, ein Nasenbär und ein Aguti. Andy war ein sehr guter Gastgeber. Wir machten mit ihm zwei Touren (TreeClimbing & Wanderung), die sehr interessant waren. Der Weg war eher abenteuerlich und man muss in Puerto Jimemez (ca 45-60 Minuten mit dem Auto) einkaufen. Bei Martina's (ca. 15min mit dem Auto) haben wir zweimal hervorragend gegessen. Wir kommem gerne wieder.

The house is beautiful A very well equipped kitchen Very clean Really close to the beach 1 min. Walk Andrew took us on a tour and it was fun and interesting, he is a great guy We had an awesome time

Magical spot for the true Osa experience! Immersed in nature with incredible wildlife (macaws, monkeys, etc) with private gorgeous grounds including a pool! The cabina offers true indoor outdoor living with comfortable beds and baths. To prepare, come by 4x4, bring all your food, condiments and toiletries, as well as an adventurous spirit! With that, you will find this place to offer an unparalleled stay in wild Costa Rica. We are a meal at nearby Encanta La Vida and rented boards there but didn’t feel need to wander beyond that as this place had everything we wanted or needed to stay blissed out.

This is a beautiful and peaceful property right on the beach. Andy is a fantastic host and very knowledgeable about the area and local wildlife that he pointed out for us around the cabin. Look forward to staying here again on our next visit!

Wonderful, peaceful and magical experience. One can tell that this house has been well thought and put together with the experience of 20+ years of living by the sea. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable. The shower is great. There are places to hang all kinds of wet stuff. The kitchen is small, practical, easy to use, and well equipped. The location of the house is privileged so that at any time you can see all kinds of animals with a view of the beautiful beach. Andy is a wonderful hardworking host. It gives you a nice feeling to know that he lives in the next-door house. The pool is a great relaxing touch. There are hammocks and showers everywhere, a picnic table on the beach, and things to do around if you don't want to surf all day (basketball, ping pong, bocce, cards, walks). We had a great relaxing and very comfortable stay and would love to come back.

This place was everything we were hoping and more. Located at the best break and the place is perfect for the family. Andrew is there for everything you need and this will def be our place of choice for our next trip to the area.

Open air concept and plenty of wildlife to see!

We stayed at Andrews place for a few nights to take advantage of a swell that was in town.  It is a beautiful place on a gorgeous property right on Hogs Hole in Matapalo.   Andrew was a fabulous host and was there for anything we needed during our stay.  His place is clean and comfortable, with super comfy beds.  Had everything we needed during our stay. His property is full of fun stuff to do (swings, pingpong, basketball), and the beach out front has hammocks and a picnic table so you can watch the waves in comfort.  I loved drinking my morning coffee out there watching the waves.  We travel to Matapalo quite a bit and this is an idyllic spot that in our opinion is quite special!   A gem!

This place is the perfect location for surfing and relaxing just steps away from the beach. My boys (age 15 & 13) had so much to do  and everyday we saw amazing wildlife including monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans and even a sloth. If you are looking for 5 star accommodations then this is probably not the place for you. Andy's place has a rustic feel with an open air kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. This is our first time staying in a cabin like this and we felt safe. Andy is a great host and was quick to address any concerns we had.  We looking forward to a return visit!

The beach house was very nice. Comfortable and especially nice bathrooms. The property is ideal for children (ours are 14 and 12) because there are lots of fun swings and sports facilities. Andy dropped by every day to ask if we needed anything. We brought all our food from Puerto Jimenez, as there is no supermarket in the area. We had dinner in a lodge one evening, recommended and arranged by Andy. The nights were a bit hot, as there was no breeze. The house was solar powered, but we never ran out of power. We had full moon all nights, so more than enough light! The beach was not really good for swimming, bring watershoes. But it was great watching all the surfers. It was a really nice relaxing place!

Las Olas is located in a beautiful jungle setting, just off the beach and almost to the southern tip of the Osa Peninsula.  The road is rough - you'll definitely need a 4x4 to get there.  The house is rustic - it is open to the great outdoors - but is very clean and comfortable and we were surprised at how few critters we saw inside the house.  We had less than 24 hours to spend there and we wish we'd had more.  It would have been fun to go on a hike with Andy and to see more of what the area has to offer.  We did see sea turtles, spider monkeys, scarlet macaws and green basilisk lizards just sticking around the house.  Our kids loved hanging out with the host family's kids, playing on their swing, etc.  A great experience for us.  (Make sure to stop in Puerto Jimenez for groceries before you come. )
