Casa Viva Eco Lodge Beachfront Bungalow 2 - Bungalows for Rent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica

This was exactly what we needed for our last week, we LOVED IT.....

What an amazing stay we had at Casa Viva! It’s exactly what you’d expect when you want to stay in Costa Rica: a bungalow in the middle of the jungle just 50 yards from the beach and Atlantic Ocean! Our party loved our stay here and found it easy to head into the main town of Puente Viejo to enjoy food and nightlife. (Head to Hot Rocks bar: you might just see a sloth climbing across the ceiling!) It is also just a short 45 minute drive from the famous Cahuita National Park. The hosts were very responsive to us to get into the property even at 9 PM when we first arrived, with giving recommendations on where to eat, and with finding nearby amenities. Just to be clear, this is a bit of a rustic location with bed nets to protect from bugs and no A/C. There are plenty of fans though and we never felt too hot. The staff did come through one night of our 3 night stay to tidy up and provide fresh towels and linens which was nice. Overall, a great place worth staying at. ¡Pura Vida!

We are a family of five who had absolutely amazing days at Casa Viva Eco Lodge. We saw many exotic animals just outside the house, and the location by the beach was absolutely wonderful. Louis was an excellent and very accommodating host. We can highly recommend this place to other guests.

Vi är en familj på fem som hade helt fantastiska dagar på Casa Viva Eco Lodge. Vi såg många exotiska djur precis utanför husknuten, och läget vid stranden var helt underbart. Louis var en utmärkt och mycket tillmötesgående värd. Vi kan varmt rekommendera detta ställe till andra gäster.

Beautiful space on beautiful grounds with an amazing host!  You couldn’t ask for more!

I stayed with my family for 3 nights and they were the best of our entire trip, good communication and fast, beautiful location, quiet and private with exit to the beach. It 🙌🏼 was a pleasure, we really enjoyed it! Thank you so much!! We'll definitely be back!

Estuvimos con mi familia 3 noches y fueron las mejores de todo nuestro viaje, buena comunicación y rápida, hermosa ubicación, calmado y privado con salida a la playa 🙌🏼 fue un placer, disfrutamos mucho! Muchas gracias !! Sin dudas volveremos !

awesome place and location. surrounded by nature and immediate access to the beach. the house is comfortable and well equipped. the host was very responsive and the staff very friendly. I highly recommend Casa Viva and the South Caribbean for anyone visiting Costa Rica.

So fun to have howler monkeys AND a nearly private beach. Really a cool location, very peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful location. Beautiful property. Great location. Our stay was very peaceful and relaxing. Luis was happy to assist us with all of our questions or needs.

We (2 adults and 3 kids) stayed at Casa Viva for 10 days and loved it. A generous, wonderful location, surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. We were woken up mostly by birds and monkeys. The sloths were also the neighbors. In the morning, Francisco spoiled us with fresh pipas, bananas and grapefruits, muchas gracias! The sea is super close and friendly. The stay was a big highlight on our Costa Rica trip! We will be back!

Wir (2 Erwachsene und 3 Kids) waren 10 Tage im Casa Viva und waren begeistert. Eine grosszügige, wunderbare Location, umgeben von schönen Bäumen und Pflanzen. Geweckt wurden wir meistens von Vögeln und Affen. Auch die Faultiere waren unsere Nachbarn. Am Morgen verwöhnte uns Francisco jeweils mit frischen Pipas, Bananen und Grapefruits, muchas gracias! Das Meer ist super nah und kinderfreundlich. Der Aufenthalt war ein grosses Highlight auf unserer Costa Rica Reise! Wir kommen wieder!

Look no further. This was the BEST experience we have ever had! We stayed in bungalow 2 with no air. The fans kept us plenty cool at night. Henry picked us fresh coconuts to drink every morning along with oranges grapefruits and limes. Nicole was so responsive and helpful! ( I can’t stress that enough 😉 Nicole also hooked us up with Rodolpho (FOFO) is the BEST TOUR GUIDE. We learned so much from him. We saw Howler monkeys, sloths, all kinds of reptiles. I highly recommend staying at Casa Viva! PURA VIDA!! 🙌🏻

Our family had such a amazing time at Casa Viva. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we had hoped for when we booked, if not more. We wanted a quiet & relaxing spot for us and our almost 2-year-old, with just enough to do to keep us busy without too much planning and driving. We biked, kayaked along the river, went to the beach everyday, which is a 2 min walk as described. Super pristine, white sands. We loved boogie boarding while he napped on the beach. There are a couple of walkable restaurants nearby, fresh fruit at the local convenience store. Big grocery store is about a 10 min tuk tuk ride, and town is about 15 min away. Super easy to get around. Oh, and the animals were the best part! Toucans, howler monkeys, macaws, a sweet sloth! All around, living their best life. Truly so magical for our young one. We left Casa Viva feeling so good about the two weeks we spent there. I would 100% recommend this spot to anyone. A true gem.

Our time at Casa Viva was simply AMAZING!!! We strongly recommend this location and Luis as a host. It could not have been better.

We had a wonderful stay. The place was wonderful and the gardens were so beautiful. We will definitely be going back!

A perfect stay! Right on the beach in the most beautiful surroundings. Even better than the photos. Could not be happier with our stay. Host was helpful and responsive and helped arrange a local guide for refuge manzanillo who was amazing too. The staff are super friendly and professional. We were there 5 nights and wished we could have stayed longer.

What a beautiful place!! It was like staying inside your own personal botanical garden along the beach. The place felt like home. The beds were comfortable and the interior was beautiful. The entire house is built with rare hardwood and it is open to nature so you really enjoy the full jungle experience. The host (Nicole) is super friendly and extremely helpful. There is a dog named Lola who is always there to greet you. Book now if this is available - you don't want to miss it!

This was a magical place and we would gladly come again.  It is a short and lovely walk to the beach through the jungle.  The waves were great for boogie boarding and the beach was beautiful and not at all crowded.  We saw families of monkeys and sloths and the staff was very friendly.  You should stay here!

Amazing location! Would love to come back

Like a post a read before I went said Do yourself a great big favor and stay here. The staff is the only thing better than the grounds. It truly outlived any of the pictures and the local area an incredible place to see. Stayed with my three kids teenagers kids and they had a great time! Hope to return🤘

We highly enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely and private. The grounds are beautiful and the beach is only steps away. The staff was extremely responsive and helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Stayed at Casa Viva in bungalow 2 for five nights. It was an amazing place steps to the beach. Nicole was super helpful and responsive. Were able to get a guided tour up the nearby river with the kids and see a lot of wildlife. Beach chairs laid out for guests every morning. Bungalow wasn’t air conditioned but never really needed it. Would have been nice to have some basic cooking supplies - oil, salt, and pepper but plenty of grocery stores and supermarkets nearby.

awesome place steps from the beach. we had an amazing stay.

We highly recommend Casa Viva. We had an amazing time there. We chose the one with no air, but the ceiling fan was so good. We enjoyed opening all the doors in the evening. One night we both slept in the 2 hammocks at the sound of the rain and the ocean. The garden is like a tropical botanic garden 🌴☘️🍀 Jasmine, Francisco are great people, all the staff as well. The location on the beach is so perfect. We are so glad we chose Casa Viva, for our first visit to Costa Rica 🙌❤️

An ideal place to rest, but mainly, due to its proximity to the sea. Its gardens are amazing, especially for bird lovers like me. Recommended.

Un lugar ideal de descanso, pero principalmente, por su cercanía l mar. Sus jardines son increíbles, en especial para los amantes de las aves como yo. Recomendado.

Definitely my best choice; Casa Viva is a magical place surrounded by amazing nature. Super safe and the manager is super attentive. Un 100 Casa Viva Lots of good energy :)

Definitivamente mi mejor elección; Casa Viva es un lugar mágico rodeado de una naturaleza increíble. Súper seguro y el encargado súper atento. Un 100 Casa Viva Mucha buena energía :)

This place is amazing! Beautiful teak cabin, monkeys and parrots all around. 20 second walk to the best beach in Costa Rica. Good fans keep the cabin cool and dry.

We had a awesome time in casa viva, we enjoyed this beautiful house (very clean), surrounded by the nice garden and the great beach acess. Ricardo is a nice guy, we especially enjoyed the kajak adventure with him. we highly reccommend! thank you for the great time!!!

This is the best place I’ve stayed at in Puerto Viejo area. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, but know at the same time how to respect distance and privacy. The house is fabulous, and gardens beautiful. The point at the beach where its located is just perfect as there’s not that many people, sea is still, and waters completely clear. We went snorkeling with Ricardo and it was just an impressive experience to see all that marine life in such clear waters. I could go on and on about how wonderful this place is, but my recommendation is for you to go and experience yourself. We’re absolutely going back.
