Two Casitas-Palmera Bungalow - Bungalows for Rent in Ojochal, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Joe is a chill dude; friendly host! Perfect place for a night stay and I enjoyed swimming in the pool. Did a quick photoshoot for my birthday here as the surrounding areas was filled with beautiful plants and decorations. :)

Stunning, relaxing place in nature. Thank you for the welcome. We loved the property, the pool, and the surrounding area.

Superbe endroit reposant dans la nature. Merci pour l accueil. Nous avons adorer le logement, la piscine et les alentours .

It was our second time staying at Joe and Lynn’s…so yes, I highly recommend it!!

Perfect home away from home. really welcoming and relaxing, great host. Best Airbnb we had in a month of travels we will certainly be back.

The Casita is very well designed and recently remodeled.   In town location, yet private with wonderful jungle atmosphere, and the pool is wonderful

We had a great stay at Joseph’s place! The pool is so beautiful and refreshing. I loved hanging out there, so peaceful. The guests across from us were also lovely. I loved the restaurant recommendations that he gave us so much and really appreciated that there was also stores and a playground nearby. I really enjoyed walking in the neighbourhood. We’ve stayed in this neighbourhood before and if you don’t know there is a lot of roosters so bring your earplugs (like we did) to get a restful sleep. Its pretty typical for the power to go out sometimes in Costa Rica and it did for a little while, so the pool is really key for keeping cool, as well they are on city water so you can still shower and use the water when the power is out which is great. There were big iguanas on the property which my kids really loved and their dog is super sweet and friendly. We had a great stay, thanks for having us!

This area is so beautiful! The small casita is perfect for those looking for a clean, rustic jungle experience. The pool is exactly like the photos - stunning. There were giant iguanas around the pool in the trees and the sound of toucans in the distance. The area itself has restaurants you can walk to in less than 10 minutes as well as a grocery store. Lynn & Joe are excellent hosts.

Joseph and his partner are absolutely incredible people!! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts! The location was stunning. They made us feel right at home!! Highly recommend to anyone!!

The cabana was super sweet. Had everything you needed for a quiet getaway. The decor is lovely and interesting, large windows looking out on the gardens. The pool was refreshing and just steps away. We rarely saw anyone else on the property even though the hosts live there and there is another cabana nearby. We appreciated a walkable recommendation for good food and drinks - the owners at Los Gatos Locos were friendly and accommodating. The location is near to a great free waterfall and beaches. Totally enjoyed our stay and this would be our go-to, if we were near Uvita again.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay very much. The vegetation was lush with many flowers blooming. The casita was simple and beautiful with many artistic elements including the folding down table, the use of varied and beautiful shells and natural objects throughout. The lovely pool was a pleasant place to enjoy warm afternoons and evenings. The WiFi signal was strong. There are many interesting waterfalls and beaches to visit and we enjoyed wildlife sightseeing on the mangrove tour from Sierpe. Joseph and Lynn are lovely folks!

A very pleasant stay. An ideal place to relax and unwind. Warm and very pleasant attention. Quiet village, and safe. Supermarkets nearby, and good good good good good good good good good in the area. Highly recommended stay. I would definitely come back.

Muy agradable estancia. Lugar ideal para descansar y desconectarse. Atención cálida y muy amena. Pueblo tranquilo, y seguro. Supermercados cerca, y buenos restaurantes en la zona. Hospedaje altamente recomendado. sin duda volvería.

We really appreciated our stay. Unfortunately we were there for only one night but it was the perfect place to unwind after hiking in Corcovado. The pool area is the highlight by far. It’s beautiful with nice chairs and tables to have a drink or eat. We were there all afternoon, we went before bed and were there in the morning while sipping coffee. The living room is really comfortable, I was debating sleeping there or in the bedroom! Our hosts suggested a local market nearby and we are so thankful because we got loads of nice veggies, fruits, excellent bread and fresh orange juice.

This is a beautiful spot! We had to make other arrangements do to a health emergency, so we were sorry to have to head out early but this pool area especially was gorgeous and Joseph and Lynn were so kind to us!

Nice accommodation with a great pool, which you may share with the guests of another accommodation. However, the pool can only be enjoyed with insect spray. 1 hour there on the lounger means at least 20 stitches. The location is also good. Nearby, even walking distance to supermarkets and various beaches can be reached by car in a few minutes to a quarter of an hour. The place itself doesn't have windows, i.e. the complete noise of the street and nature can wake you up. As a noise-sensitive person, I have never been able to sleep through, but others can even find it beautiful and connected to nature. The only thing I found bad is the lighting in the apartment. The colors of the walls are dark anyway and due to the bad light you have hardly been able to see anything. But otherwise you felt comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Price performance is great and communication very easy!

Schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Pool, den man nur evtl. mit den Gästen einer weiteren Unterkunft teilt. Der Pool ist aber nur mit Insektenspray genießbar. 1h dort auf der Liege zu liegen bedeutet mindestens 20 Stiche. Die Lage ist auch gut. In der Nähe, sogar Fußläufig Supermärkte und diverse Strände sind mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten bis viertel Stunde erreichbar. Die Unterkunft selbst hat keine Fenster, d.h. der komplette Lärm der Straße und der Natur kann einen wecken. Ich als geräuschempfindlicher Mensch habe nie durchschlafen können, aber das können andere sogar als schön und naturverbunden empfinden. Das einzige was ich schlecht fand ist die Beleuchtung in der Wohnung. Die Farben der Wände sind sowieso dunkel und durch das schlechte Licht hat man kaum etwas sehen können. Aber ansonsten hat man sich wohl gefühlt. Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Preis Leistung ist super und die Kommunikation sehr einfach!

Thank you for your review, and staying with us. We’re sorry you were bothered by street noise, as you noted you are quite sensitive. At night, it is normally very quiet, but with holiday celebrations. We are surprised about your experience with the lighting, because there are lights all over the bungalow, for more localized lights. But we appreciate your feedback and will consider these comments. Thank you for staying with us!

Great location - great environment - great hosts :)! We have enjoyed the two nights at this location - we call it “a bed in the nature” 😊

Excellent place, met all our expectations,  we are a family with 3 children and the stay was perfect for them , the hosts were extremely friendly.

Excelente lugar, cumplió con todas nuestras expectativas,  somos una familia con 3 niños y la estancia fue perfecta para ellos , los anfitriones sumamente amables.

The most beatiful tropical pool I have ever been :)

We had a great stay at Joe's and Lynn's casita. They and also their family are very welcoming and heartwarming people, for whom it seems important that their guests feel well. The casita was small, but clean and cozy with everything you needed, for example for cooking. The furnishing and decorating is interesting and handmade from things, you find in the nature. The best was the quiet, lush garden full of flowers and plants and over all the nice and clean pool, we nearly used every day. It was a big pleasure to watch the birds, iguanas, squirrels. We didn't have problems with mosquitos and crawlies ( like in other apartments), only some little lizards said hello. There are mosquitonets on every window. Keep the door closed. Ojochal is small, but there are some restaurants, coffee shops and bakerys close by. We liked especially il restaurant "Los gatos locos", a five minute- walk down the street. The location is good for trips along the pacific coast, we would recommend a car.

It's a beautiful place! Hosts are excellent, the place is very nice and quiet

Es un lugar hermoso ! Los anfitriones son excelentes, el lugar muy agradable y tranquilo

Excellent service and very attentive. Recommended

Excelente servicio y muy atentos. Recomendado

Great location in Ojochal. You don't need a 4x4 to get there. Lots of things to do in the area and the beaches are beautiful and very quiet!!! Beautiful little villa even if no air conditioning the nights are cool and enjoyed the sounds of nature Super clean and well kept as a place

Très bien situé à Ojochal. Pas besoin d’un 4x4 pour s’y rendre. Plein de chose à faire dans la région et les plages sont belles et très tranquille !!! Belle petite villa même si pas d’air climatisé les nuits sont fraîches et ont profite des bruits de la nature Super propre et bien tenu comme endroit

We had an amazing stay with Joseph and Lynn. They’re such nice people and were lovely to talk to. They have an amazing garden with their home. The house we stayed in was really nice, fully equipped and we really enjoyed the swimming pool as well. Would absolutely recommend this place and thanks so much for everything!

What an incredibly beautiful little gem this Airbnb is. It is very small yet the hosts have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay comfortable. While there is no air conditioning, there are fans. That being said, it can still get quite hot, especially during the day. But the pool is lovely, cool, and deep and the perfect respite from the heat. Really, it’s paradise. I have to say that this is probably our favorite Airbnb that we stayed in during our 2 1/2 weeks in Costa Rica. The gardens are really spectacular, and the overall setting is so peaceful and relaxing, and probably what you come to Costa Rica for. The hosts are genuinely friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and where to go and what to say and how to do it easily. Don’t hesitate to book!

Amazing casita with everything that you need to have a comfortable stay. The gardens are beautiful around the casita and it feels very private. The pool is wonderful!! Finally, the hosts are very kind and helpful. We would for sure stay here again in Ojochal!

We enjoyed our time with Joe and Lynn - they were very helpful, great hosts and available.  We hope to be able to stay with them again.  Enjoyed the pool area immensely.

Very nice little bungalow and charming pool.

Très joli petit bungalow et charmante piscine.

I loved our stay in the bungalow. Having the pool was a really fun amenity. The cabins are surrounded by lush plants where you can spot birds in the morning. The street is quiet and the on-site parking felt secure. The kitchen was well stocked with a coffee maker and a huge fridge and freezer. They had ceiling fans and an extra box fan to keep us cool in the heat. The shower worked great, with great heat and water pressure. Joseph and his partner were super nice and gave helpful recommendations for yoga studios and restaurants in the area. We loved the restaurant Terraba for their whole (local) fried fish.

Very nice people and place, first time in Costa Rica and they were both very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay with Lynn and Joe. They always answered our questions at the time and were willing to help us with whatever we needed. The pool was the area we enjoyed the most. We look forward to returning.

Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estancia con Lynn y Joe. Siempre respondieron nuestras dudas en el momento y estuvieron dispuestos a ayudarnos con lo que necesitáramos. La piscina fue el área que más disfrutamos. Esperamos poder volver.

We loved to stay at the Joseph and Lynn's property. Cute and cozy cabin with huge outdoor dining room in a lush garden by the pool, that we found no problem to share with our neighbour. We loved that there was no windows, just nets, the sound of the nature was amazing. I would recommend El Pavon and Ojochal waterfalls nearby (no 4×4 car or hiking requires, just steps down). Also, Bali Rica nearby have great outdoor yoga classes. The only drawback is that the road nearby gets busy in the morning, however, you shouldn't be sleeping late anyway, since the day in Costa Rica is very short all year long.

very lovely courteous landlords. the lodge was very clean and tidy. there were even new towels on the 2nd day. the pool is super!

sehr liebe zuvorkommende vermieter. die lodge war sehr sauber und ordentlich. es gab sogar neue handtücher am 2. tag. der pool ist suuuper!

Our big favorite part of the trip! The little house is charming and what about the garden and pool, paradise! Plus, we were super well received. New towels in the middle of the stay and the possibility to leave later on the last day to enjoy the beach. Toucans and macaws seen from the balcony, the dream!

Notre gros coup de cœur du voyage! La petite maison est charmante et que dire du jardin et de la piscine, paradisiaque! En plus, nous avons été super bien accueillis. Des serviettes neuves au milieu du séjour et la possibilité de quitter plus tard la dernière journée pour pouvoir profiter de la plage. Des toucans et des aras vus du balcon, le rêve!

Very cute, calm and relaxing. Jungle atmosphere in the sea and in the village. Simple place with very taste and note that they put a lot of affection into it. Hosts were always attentive to our arrival. Highly recommended.

Muy bonito, tranquilo y relajante. Ambiente selvático cerca del mar y dentro del pueblo. Lugar sencillo con muy buen gusto y nota que le pusieron mucho cariño. Los anfitriones siempre estuvieron pendientes de nuestra llegada. Muy recomendado.

I really enjoyed my stay! The bungalow is great and surrounded by a lush garden! Joseph and Lynn are very nice people! Best was the amazing pool!! 🙂
