3BR house in Pavones

Casa Punta Mar , house with stunning ocean view - Houses for Rent in Pavones, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

This place is plain amazing. The views off the balcony are stunning. We literally spent hours there watching the wildlife and the incredible ocean views. The place is a really neat layout. Downstairs carport with a semi auto washing machine and clotheslines. Upstairs you find a very open area with a kitchen and living space including hammocks indoors. Plus the balcony. Two rooms on either side of the kitchen with a shared bath in between. The master bedroom upstairs is just amazing, the views are incredible. Very comfy beds, good a/c in all rooms. The power did go out a few times but this is par for the course out there, cuz it’s remote and all worth it! Our host was out of the country but extremely responsive and an onsite housekeeper made herself available for anything we might need. They were both great. Thank you! Pura Vida!

Muchas gracias Grace , we’re stoked to hear you enjoyed the house and it’s amazing setting. Thank you for visiting 🙏🏽

This place has an amazing view, we enjoyed it a lot. It is close to Pavones, good stay for surfing.

One of the greatest places I have ever stayed!

Incredible views, private, and close to the beach. Wonderful hosts. Punta Banco is off the beaten path, but that's part of the charm. We had a great stay. Lovely place.

The setting and view form this house are spectacular! The house is less than five minutes to the beach but still has a view over the treetops to the Golfo Dulce and the Osa Peninsula beyond. Lots of wildlife to see from the comfort of the hammocks or the front porch. Punta Banco is a gem, the kind that are getting harder and harder to find in a hyper-connected, well-travelled world. The host is equally outstanding. Frie checked on us as we drove down the coast to the Pavones area and was waiting at the end of the road to guide us into the right driveway as we arrived in the dark. She was quick to provide suggestions for local food and hikes and was always happy to see us on the road to the local soda. All around great!

We just had an incredible time in this fantastic house! Words can hardly describe what a paradisiacal place this is. The house is a dream, the view breathtaking, the path to the beach short, the beach paradisiacal, the village quiet & local, in short: pure relaxation! A thousand thanks to Frie & Ricar! They welcomed us very warmly & for the whole month they were there for us if there was anything. Thank you very much!

Wir hatten einfach eine unglaubliche Zeit in diesem traumhaften Haus! Worte können kaum beschreiben, welch paradiesischer Ort das ist. Das Haus ist ein Traum, die Aussicht atemberaubend, der Weg zum Strand kurz, der Strand paradiesisch, das Dorf ruhig & lokal, kurz: Erholung pur! Tausend Dank an Frie & Ricar! Sie haben uns sehr herzlich empfangen & den ganzen Monat über waren sie für uns da, wenn etwas war. Vielen lieben Dank!

Con mucho gusto Eva , it has been our pleasure to host you and family. Very happy to know you enjoyed the place and your time here in Punta Banco , muchas gracias 🙏🏽

Frie and Ricar are very welcoming and accommodating.  We were personally taken to the house and all house details were carefully explained to us.  They continued to welcome our questions and provide us with plenty of useful information.  The best part was finding that the house, although it appeared in photos as a long walk from the beach, was only 5 minutes away.  We would definitely stay there in the future for a much longer period of time.

Beautiful house and view, amazing beach, no bugs, just perfect, we will definitely be back!

We loved the house! nothing to complain about! Would definitely come again :-)

Thank you, happy to hear you enjoyed 🙏🏽

We had a fantastic time at Punta Banco; the house has a great location and a beautiful view . The house manager was incredibly helpful, kind and fast to reply; overall great service and communication. They even allowed us to do an early check in, as we wanted to surf at arrival . Anyeli the cleaner of the house was super kind as well; everything was immaculate and she even gave us extra towels . I strongly recommend staying at this villa; we most definitely come again . Pura Vida Muchas Gracias Bendiciones

Muchas gracias Carla , love such spontaneous and kind guests as you . Great to hear you enjoyed the place 🥰

We recommend the house on the hill, the local was incredible and the host very accommodating. the sounds of the ocean and jungle, birds, surfing top location. the Italian restaurant was incredible with fine foods and staff! cannot recommend the punta banco enough if you are adventurous, without kids and just want  Pura vida!

Thank you JC , we’re very happy that you enjoyed your stay and the environment of Punta Banco !

We loved our stay in Punta Banco. The house is spacious, comfortable and clean with incredible ocean views. We really enjoyed watching the sunsets from our balcony and walking down to the incredible beach nearby and swimming in the tidepools. We saw a lot of beautiful wildlife including monkeys, agoutis, morpho butterflies and many species of birds. Our hosts Frie and Ricardo were amazing and made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. They were super welcoming and accessible and had a lot of recommendations for things to do in the area. They even showed us some great surfing spots.  The people of Punta Banco are friendly and the community is tranquil and ideal for a relaxing stay in nature. We would definitely recommend this house and look forward to coming back again in the future.

Ricar and Frie were the most communicative, generous hosts ever. The house is absolutely stunning with a really beautiful view. I have been to Pavones several times and this location, although further from the main break at Pavones, is the most stunning. The views of the ocean are incredible. We had 3 species of monkeys at the house and incredible birds, coatis and agoutis too. Hot water would be a nice touch in future but this does not detract from the experience. There is an outside shower too which is awesome after a surf. One room has really nice A/C and I like having one room with A/C and one without as I prefer no A/C but my kids loved it. Will definitely be back. Thanks to our amazing hosts!!

Thank you so much James & fam! Such a pleasure to host you . We try to make people as comfortable as we can and we agree that a warm water 🚿 is nice , mostly in green season !! So, this week we were able to have the installation done ☑️ See you soon ! Saludos

The perfect place to stay in Punta Banco is with Frie and Ricardo....perfect accommodations and location and value.  I cannot wait to go back.

Everything was perfect since the first message I’ve sent. Great comunication and coordination to check in. The place has an AMAZING ocean view, and best Sunset spot in town at the balcony. Very big, clean house. Everything was flawless with Fast Wifi, microwave, blender, coffee maker, and a complete kitchen. You can cook and catch the sunset at the same time. It also offers a 360 view to there is jungle where you can spot Monkeys, all kind of birds Tucans, Macaws, and much more, without moving from the house. We stayed for 1 month and was amazing, and the surf is amazing here also. Great waves!

It is a fantastic apartment with an unbeatable view. The hosts communicate super fast with some great hints. If you are lucky some long left waves will wait for you.

We stayed here for 4 weeks and enjoyed every day. It is a spacious, bright, elevated house with a thrilling ocean and canopy view from the balcony. We loved spending time there watching the various animals who came around: monkeys (capuchin, squirrel and howler), toucans, scarlet macaws, iguanas, aguti, vultures, squirrels, lots of other birds - and even a whale in the ocean! Better than any National Geographic documentary. The house has 2 bedrooms and everything you need for a longer stay, even a yoga deck on the upper floor. Our hosts Frie and Ricar where lovely, the communication was very good. Ricar took us on a hike to his farm and they even invited us to a great dinner. Punta Banco is a small community with friendly locals, we felt very welcome and safe there. The beach is great and almost empty, good for surfing at high tide and with nice rock pools for swimming and discovering marine life at low tide. They have a sea turtle program in the rainy season, you can see baby turtles being released into the ocean every morning and evening. Many of the neighbours offer horse riding tours. Be aware that it is a remote place, better to reach by car, with very few places to eat out, just a small mini super, no cash machine and so on. You may encounter snakes or scorpions. But it’s totally worth it if you want to find peace, disconnect and spend some time in nature, away from crowded places, in an unique house!

Thank you very much for such complete review of the house , surrounding nature and village . It really makes us happy that you have enjoyed and appreciated all of the above. It was a pleasure to meet you !

Beautiful spacious house. Beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. A family that can help you with everything. Moreover, they cook perfectly. I can't reproach anything. I can only recommend. I made new friends here.

Daniel, thank you so much for your kind words. Hope we can see you back anytime soon!  Pura Banco.!!  @simbiosiscr
