60 steps to the beach: traditional bungalow - Bungalows for Rent in Osa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

This was the perfect spot for us for our stay in Dominicalito.  Very close to the Dominical shops, restaurants, and beaches.  Rocas de Amancio was spectacular to see!  A very unique area in Costa Rica.  We toured Manuel Antonio, went Nauyaca Falls,  and Poza Azul.  All very close.  Our favorite beach was Playa Linda also close.  The space was authentic tico style and we loved it!  Next door the restaurant Mariscos Amancio was the best food we have had in Costa Rica..  Highly recommend Ann’s place if you’re in the area.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Sam! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the authentic Costa Rican experience and had the chance to explore so many of our favorite places, from Rocas de Amancio and Playa Linda to Nauyaca Falls and Manuel Antonio. We’re especially happy to hear you loved Mariscos Amancio—it’s a local gem! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Costa Rica again. Pura Vida! 🌴☀️

This is our second time staying here. Cozy house and we loved having the beach right there and the restaurant walking distance. Beautiful bird sounds in the morning.  We only stayed for one night on our way to the Osa so we didn’t cook but the kitchen is great and well stocked if you are staying longer!

The accommodation offered by Anne is easy to access, secure, very functional and superbly equipped, and comfortable (bedding, fan, air conditioning, bath towels, etc.). It is close to the pretty little beach of Dominicalito, while also having the green space of a nice garden. Plus, it's very nicely decorated and has a lot of charm. Check-in is easy, and communication with Anne is very smooth, even without meeting her. I won't look for any other place than this one if I come back to Dominical.

Le logement proposé par Anne est facile d'accès. sécurisé, très fonctionnel et super équipé, est confortable (literie, ventilateur, climatisation, serviettes de bain,...). il est proche de la jolie petite plage de Dominicalito, tout en disposant de l'espace vert d'un joli jardin. Eten plus il est très joliment décoré et a beaucoup de charme. L'entrée dans les lieux est aisée et la communication avec Anne est très fluide et ceci sans la rencontrer. Je ne chercherai pas un autre logement que celui là si je viens à repasser par Dominical

Thank you, Sandrine and David, for your kind words. We are delighted that you enjoyed both the bungalow and the beautiful setting of Dominicalito. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the comfort, charm, and easy access to the beach. You were wonderful guests, and we truly appreciated your thoughtful communication throughout your stay. We would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime and are honored to hear that you would choose to stay with us again on a future visit to Dominical.

This is my second stay there and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. It’s so nice to be able to walk down the little road right to the beach for Sunset. This house is adorable and so well put together. It has the most comfortable bed and towels that I may have ever found at an Airbnb. I would highly recommend this place!

This little home was so amazing for our 1st Costa Rica experience! The house was exactly as shown in pictures, perfect for the 2 of us. When we first arrived I kind of wondered what we would do with our time, but that was never an issue. Our favorite thing was sitting on the back patio with a snack and drink and watching and listening to all the nature! Iguanas, geckos, so many birds, agouti. We only used the outdoor shower for our 5 days at the house. Despite the close neighbors, the house is so private! We took the activity recommendations and all were fantastic. Surfing, Cafe Don Emilio coffee tour, nearby waterfall which we hiked to. We had a fantastic experience here and I’ve already recommended this house to others looking for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks Ann for the excellent communication and for sharing your home!

The place is as shown in the photos It's a very quiet area right next to the beach Everything is super clean and the bed is very comfortable a kitchen with everything you need to live on site 100% recommended Ann was always attentive to handle the check-in, how the door worked, etc.

El lugar es lo que sale en las fotos Es una zona muy tranquila y pegada a la playa Todo super limpio y cama muy comoda una cocina con todo lo necesario para vivir en el lugar 100% recomendado Ann siempre estuvo atenta para solucionar la llegada , como funcionaba la puerta etc

It’s rare to stay on the ocean side of the highway around here and this place was absolutely charming! I’ll definitely be back! It’s better than the photos!

Thanks for your kind words. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us.

This was our third time staying at Ann’s place. We absolutely love it and will definitely return!

It is always a pleasure having you. With so many options  for lodging in the area we are grateful you keep coming back.

Great four night stay (we extended a night because it was so cool and such a livable space).  Walk (2 mins) to an amazing sunset beach location -- and a bit further to a surf beach.  Ideally situated between Playas Dominical and Dominicalito.  Very private.  The outdoor shower was excellent-- we used it more than the inside shower.  Totally secure parking via remote operated gate, and the space had a tall cover perfect for protecting the car and surf boards from the hot sun. The kitchen appliances were all high-end--as well as the washer and dryer.  ACs for the bedroom and TV/living room, otherwise high-powered ceiling fans in the kitchen dining areas were enough. A cozy, 'upscale rustic/ traditional Tico' space, but very efficiently laid out with everything you need.  The garden areas front and back are really beautiful as well.  A great visit, and we'll be back!

Absolutely loved the time that we were able to spend in this home and on this beach. Would most definitely recommend.

Very convenient place right next to the beach. Communication was good, the bedroom is comfortable with air conditioning and darkness, the kitchen is well equipped. A solid place to stay if you want to spend time at the beach (a very close walk).

We had a lovely stay, the location of the place was amazing and it was so nice to walk to the beautiful beach every day. One downside was noise from big trucks driving by on the main road

Thanks for the great review. Yes, the beach is beautiful. And, we can’t help the noise from the trucks on the Coastal Highway. Thanks for understanding and helping other guests make the right choice if road noise will be an issue.

The house was a surprise despite the accurate photos because it is quite small and is very open (although there are screens on all windows).  There is a detailed booklet about the house and surroundings that was very helpful.  The kitchen is well-equipped but, as is true of the other rooms (especially the bathroom), bugs -- mainly ants -- can be a problem.  This can be minimized with cleanliness and with keeping food in the large refrigerator.  We appreciated that a cleaning lady came after a week. There was excellent lighting everywhere, making it easy to read. We loved the porch, where one can watch and listen to lots of birds and where we were able to see geckos, a toucan and an agouti.   We also liked the restaurant next door.  Overall, it was a pleasant place to relax and enjoy nature. The nearby beach is beautiful for walks and sunsets.

The traditional Costa Rican beach house was built 40 years ago with no glass windows, but the bedroom and living room can be closed off with AC units. It is spacious inside, and the yard and surrounding guards are very tropical and filled with birds. It was nice having a gate and shaded carport. The king bed was very comfortable. It was very quiet at night (no road noise, chickens, or dogs barking), but the birds can be very noisy at dawn. The separate washer and dryer are excellent and definitely a highlight here. A very nice secluded beach is a 2 minute walk, with amazing sunsets every night. This house had many more bugs and ants than any other place we stayed in Costa Rica, but we eventually got comfortable with it.

We loved the beach rental! Just a few steps from the beach! We walked the beach all day long, until sunset! The yard was peaceful and beautiful! Birds, iguanas, coatis, and gorgeous gardens, front and back. The house was the perfect combo of traditional Costa Rican with open air with modern amenities like A/C in the bedroom and sitting room. Hot water in the shower. Felt very safe with the gate & plenty of lighting. The local restaurant, just steps away was FABULOUS! Mariscos Amancio! The seafood was so fresh (we saw the family fishing every day)! They provided our favorite meals from the two week trip! Muchas gracias! Pura Vida! We hope to return for longer!

From the moment we arrived, we immediately felt at home! Ann's house has all the little details to meet all needs: milk to make our first coffee, beach sheets, beach chairs, mosquito repellent, speaker, etc! There's absolutely nothing missing! The kitchen is super well equipped, with equipment, stoves, pots like new! We loved the traditional style, hearing the sounds of nature and seeing the little geckos come to visit us. The outdoor courtyard is a small haven of peace with a multitude of animals that come to see you: agoutis, lizards and countless birds of all colors and sizes. We spent hours lounging in the hammock! The house is also extremely well located! 2-minute walk to the Dominicalito beach and 2-minute drive to the grocery store! We hope to be back soon!

Dès notre arrivé, nous nous sommes senti immédiatement comme à la maison! La maison d’Ann possède tous les petits détails pour répondre à tous les besoins : du lait pour faire notre premier café, des draps de plage, chaises de plage, chasse moustiques, speaker, etc! On ne manque d’absolument rien! La cuisine est super bien équipée, avec des équipements, poêles, chaudrons comme neufs! Nous avons adoré le style traditionnel, entendre les bruits de la nature et voir le petits geckos venir nous visiter. La cours extérieur est un petit havre de paix avec une multitudes d’animaux qui viennent vous voir : agoutis, lézards et d’innombrables oiseaux de toutes les couleurs et tailles. Nous avons passé des heures à de prélasser dans le hamac! La maison est aussi extrêmement bien située! À 2 min de marche de la plage dominicalito et 2 minutes de voiture de l’épicerie! Nous espérons déjà être de retour!

This place is peaceful and serene with birds chirping and waves crashing to wake you up in the morning. It has a great hammock to relax and read and is a mere two minute walk to an almost private beach. I walked for a half mile multiple times and only saw a couple people at most. And you still have the ability to drive a few kilometers into Dominical for food and groceries. It’s located it an amazing part of Costa Rica where once you get beyond Quepos the life really slows down and feels a lot less touristy. Highly recommend it.

Jeff thank you for staying with us. We’re so pleased that you enjoyed your time in Rocas de Amancio. Christmas at the beach is one of my favorite times of the year. You are welcomed back anytime.

Incredible spot- walking distance to the beach and a delicious restaurant. Highly recommend!

Waking up to the sound of the waves every morning was just one of many, many idyllic aspects of this romantic little home tucked away on the beach in Dominicalito. We intended to stay for three days and ended up here for ten. It was far enough from Dominical that we were really outside the touristy zones but we were able to wrangle taxis to get into town most of the time. If you have a car this place would be literally perfect in every way.

This is a beautiful home very close to the beach and surrounded by nature. It is very well equipped in terms of kitchen and utensils. A cosy TV room and windows all around the house opening into greenery. It’s a serene place. We saw more exotic fauna here than we did in Manuel Antonia. High recommended.

I absolutely loved this place! It was everything I was hoping for and more. I especially loved how it’s surrounded by beautiful plants. it gave the space such a peaceful and cozy vibe. It truly felt like home!

It was a pleasure having you. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

Great little beach bungalow.  Everything you need, very cozy, well outfitted.  We enjoyed ourselves...town had good food...all in all a good time.

Thanks for the review. We do love our town and are thrilled you got a taste of life in Dominical.

Very cozy and beautiful space with nice back porch and yard with lots of relaxing bird noises. Next door restaurant was convenient and relaxing  with great food. Loved having the beach so close. Really cool and secluded beach with beautiful sunset. Excellent spot!

This place was so fun with all the amenities you need including beach items and washer and dryer plus the kitchen was very well equipped for all your cooking needs. I loved the great pans and the knives were the best and sharpest of any AirBnB I’ve stayed in!  Thanks so much for providing such a well thought out space.

Wow this beach bungalow was an amazing stay. My husband and I loved the proximity to the beach and how homey the place felt. We would love to visit again!

Thank you for leaving us such a nice review. Please do visit us again anytime.

This was a great place to stay with great local recommendations!

I am thrilled your enjoyed your stay. Come visit again anytime.

We spent 2 weeks here. The house is traditional and has everything you could need. The neighbors with their businesses are amazing. The beach is breathtaking. Stay, hire a driver, and vive la Pura Vida! I highly recommend this stay.

Thank you so much for your kind review. Please come back and stay any time. Pura vida!

Beautiful location with a top restaurant just above. Thought of everything, so well equipped. Super comfy and with real character. The wildlife and birds were spectacular. Empty beach for romantic walks. Perfect, would definitely return and recommend

We are so glad you enjoyed your time in Rocas de Amancio. You are welcome to return anytime.

Great stay in an amazingly beautiful location.  Property is great, well maintained, private and very scenic. Thanks again!

What a wonderful stay we had at Ann's place! Super cute, super cozy, authentic and inviting. Everything that's needed is provided. Walking distance to the ocean, and much more peaceful than staying in Dominical, but still super close to restaurants and markets. The modern laundry machines worked great. All the windows have screens, so you can get a good cross breeze going. And if you're still too warm, the A/C rooms can cool you down very quickly. The kitchen is fully stocked, and the bathroom and shower are super cute. It's hard to convey the special feel of the place in pictures. We'd definitely try to stay here on our next visit!

You are so very welcome Brandon. I’m so glad you felt at home and had everything you needed. Please come stay with again any time.

it's hard to describe in words how awesome Ann's place is. we felt like it was our house after only a few days and were so sad to have to leave. the home is perfectly located between Dominical (3 minutes) and Uvita (10minutes). there is an organic grocery store called Mama Toucans as well as a BM Supermarket only minutes away. the pictures of the place don't do it justice, the gardens around the house are beautiful and evenings on the back patio you can hear the ocean. you even have like a theater room with a large Google TV + couch, and then you have your room with a very comfortable King size bed. the kitchen even has a Vitamix blender. hot water worked great for the inside shower and the washer + dryer was so helpful. Rocas de Amancio was beautiful. the neighbors were friendly and the nearby restaurant a must. I could go all day, but if you're in the area, consider Ann's place and you will be most happy you did! puravida!

Dustin, thank you so much for the kind review. It makes me smile as you have captured the magic of Rocas Amancio so perfectly. I am glad you appreciated the Vitamix. It was a must for me to take advantage of smoothies with all the amazing local fruits. Please come see us again next year.

This was our second time staying at Ann’s place — we loved our first visit that much. The location is ideal for a surf trip. The house is clean and comfortable, and the surroundings are stunning. The restaurant up the road is awesome.

I had one of the best days of vacation I’ve had being based at this house. It’s simple, but for me it had everything I wanted and more—and nothing I didn’t. The location is epic, the neighborhood is chill and everyone seemed happy if not blissed-out. Strong rec for those wanting simple, good value, beautiful garden and location location location.

Comfortable, great find. You are in good hands with Ann!

We rarely felt so much at home than in Ann‘s place. Her place is located very close to the beach so you’ll hear a soft sound of waves the whole day. In the morning, birds will all be around and you’ll enjoy their singing. In the evenings, you can sit on the veranda and enjoy the sound of the waves again. We’ve using Airbnb for many years and this was one of the few places that we had a hard time leaving.

Ann’s place was clean and had a great mix of feeling connected to the outdoors,  having privacy, and being able to retreat to an air-conditioned environment. She had a nice informational notebook written up that covered all important topics. She was responsive to all inquiries. I would look forward to staying there again.

This is an awesome little bungalow! It feels very authentic, we loved the open air concept but appreciated the AC unit in the bedroom so we could sleep comfortably. The seafood restaurant next door was incredible, and the owners were super kind. The walk to the beach is super easy and the beach is beautiful. The parking was super secure which we appreciated. The whole place feels very cozy and safe. We would stay here again! Side note though, this isn’t really walkable to the town of Dominical…but with a car it’s the perfect location!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime.

It is apparently a traditional CR house and one immediately feels at home there. The amenities are optimal, we especially appreciated the outdoor shower. From the terrace in the back, we were able to observe numerous birds daily, the beach is within walking distance and is especially fun at low tide. There is a pretty seafood restaurant nearby (by foot few minutes).

Het is blijkbaar een traditioneel CR huis en men voelt er zich onmiddellijk thuis. De voorzieningen zijn optimaal, we hebben vooral de buitendouche geapprecieerd. Vanop het terras achteraan hebben we dagelijks tal van vogels kunnen observeren, het strand ligt op wandelafstand en is vooral bij ebbe leuk. Er is een behoorlijk visrestaurant vlakbij (te voet enkele minuten).

Thank you for your review and the suggestion. We will make sure to replace the corkscrew and add a lemon press the next chance we get.

just as described, this beach bungalow was steps from the beach and had gated parking where we safely left our car while at the beach.  although we didn't cook while on vacation, I appreciated the all-clad pans and the top of the line toaster oven.  the hammock was well used by us, and the king size bed was incredibly comfortable.  the heat pump ac's helped keep us cool for sleeping and playing games and watching movies on the large screen tv in the 2nd bedroom.  lovely place.  highly recommended.

Thank you so much for staying at our beach bungalow. I am happy to hear you felt right at home. We would have you back anytime.

The pictures don’t do this bungalow justice - it is a really lovely space to spend time listening to birds chirp and waves crash. We walked the beach multiple times per day, ate at the seafood restaurant just up the driveway, and hiked the nearby waterfall. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Beautiful 1 bedroom place with everything we needed! The rooms were clean and nice and the AC in the bedroom worked great. The restaurant next door had fresh fish/lobster every day at super reasonable prices. The place is about 60 seconds away from the beach and it couldn't have been any nicer. Almost no one at the beach and tons of room to walk on the rocks or sit on the sand. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, clean place near the Dominical area.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the stay. Please come see us anytime.

This place is great.  The location is unbeatable.  We loved walking the beach, swimming in the waves, and exploring the rocks.  There were some other people at the beach on the weekends, but very few during the week.  Felt like it was our own private beach.  We found a hummingbird nest in the mango tree just off the back porch.  So fun to watch the mama feed her 2 babies.  We also enjoyed watching all the iguanas and birds in the back yard.  The restaurant next door was so convenient and served great food.  Will stay here again for sure.

Ann’s bungalow is great. Located at Roca de Amancio between the beaches of Dominicalito and dominical. You can hear the waves crashing on the rocks. The listing has a well equipped kitchen but grocery stores are limited in the area. We didn’t have a car but walking and taxis to dominical were readily available and around $5. Ann was avail to answer any questions we had. There is a fantastic seafood restaurant conveniently located next door and we had the best surf lesson from Wave surf instruction who is also next door!  Our time in Domincalito was wonderful. My kids and I made some amazing memories.

I am so glad you and the kids were able to share in the magic of Rocas de Amancio. We’d love to have you back any time.

Great accommodation, very well equipped and close to everything. The house is a short walk to the beach, the shops are next door and it is possible to do many activities. We tried fishing and it was really great. There is a recommendation book that allows you to be oriented. Ann was very responsive and friendly. Would recommend

Super logement, très bien équipé et à proximité de tout. La maison est à deux pas de la plage, les commerces sont à côtés et il est possible de faire de nombreuses activités. On a essayé la pêche et c’était vraiment génial. Il y a un livre de recommandation qui permet d’être orienté. Ann a été très réactive et amicale. Je recommande

Bre- I loved my stay! The bungalow was what felt like, just a few steps from a beautiful beach. It was extremely clean, and had so much character. I loved that it was so close to the shopping area in Dominical. The host had a thorough travel guide with great recommendations. My friend and I visited Nauyaca falls, Alegria Spa for an incredible experience, and worked with the host’s neighbor, and took surf lessons with Wave Surf School at Playa Dominical. The whole stay was too short but so memorable. I can’t wait to stay here again! Kasey -We loved our stay here! The house had everything you need and was so comfortable. We loved eating breakfast on the back patio in the morning overlooking the garden and taking long walks on the beach. The locals in town of Dominical were very friendly and welcoming. There is easy access to gorgeous beaches and horseback riding.

Great value for this airbnb. 1 minute walk to the beach, which was awesome. Kitchen has everything you could need, nice bathroom, peaceful backyard. Be aware there is only A/C in the bedroom and living room and the rest of the house is open air, which I really enjoyed. Not at all a problem, just something to be aware of if searching by ‘A/C’. Hosts were very responsive. The only issue I encountered is the garage gate for parking area is controlled by the house power, so when the power went out my car was stuck behind the gate. The hosts were very responsive and immediately sent someone to manually open it, but this is a flaw that should be addressed. Pretty bad design in Costa Rica, land of the power outages. That said, you don’t even really need to use the roll up gate - the neighborhood is very quiet, friendly, and safe. All in all a very enjoyable 5 star experience!

a beautiful little hideaway. super close to the beach and walking distance between Domincal and Dominalito. loved the area, the beach and the nature.

This was by far our favorite AirBnB experience to date. The location is unbeatable — steps from the beach and a great restaurant, 10 minute walk to the surf break at Dominicalito, 3 minute drive to Dominical for restaurants + groceries. The neighbors were very friendly and respectful. The property was beautiful — we spent hours on the back porch listening to the waves and wildlife. The house itself was clean, well-stocked (we cooked most of our meals), and comfortable. The WiFi was suitable for 2 people working remotely. The road to the house was very steep, but our cheap sedan rental car had no problems. The hosts were super responsive and helpful. Overall, incredible experience at a very good price.

This place was true to the listing,  had a very peaceful stay.  The yard came alive in the mornings always something to watch and listen to.  Nice and clean for an older place it’s very well maintained.  Good lighting and air conditioning/ fans right where they are needed. Security gate a pleasant peace of mind for us, although the neighborhood is very quiet.   The neighbor beside us was wonderful and caring lady.  I got sick and she and her family made sure to help my partner to get me back on track.  I would definitely stay again if we came back to this area.
