Studio in Cocles

My teenage kids and I had a great time surfing. We observed many butterflies, frogs and countless agoutis in the jungle-like garden. Both houses are super equipped. It was an unforgettable stay.

The house is very large and beautifully decorated. On the huge terrace, you can relax, eat and cook. You are surrounded by rainforest (apart from the neighboring vacation home in sight) and can therefore observe many animals, especially agoutis, geckos and frogs. The bedroom with one large bed and two small beds and the bathroom are also very large. Despite the relatively secluded location, you can quickly reach the main street and the adjacent beach, and after a 3-minute drive, you can also get to the somewhat larger Puerto Viejo, where there are a few more restaurants and bars. There is also a restaurant/bar and a café a 5-minute walk away, right on the main road.

What a fantastic house. A beautiful open space with a view of the lovely garden, where toucans, hummingbirds, and many other species of birds and butterflies fly around. It’s also nice to see the agoutis roaming around every day. Despite being an open-plan space, the room was spotlessly clean. The enclosed bedroom and bathroom were also spotlessly clean. The owner texted us with loads of great tips about the area. Cocles Beach is a 5-minute walk along an unpaved road. Cocles itself has a nice atmosphere, and there are plenty of pleasant terraces and restaurants. For shopping, go to Puerto Viejo, which is 4 km (2.5 miles) away.

The setting of Graziella's place in the lush garden is absolutely amazing. We loved the open air living area, watching the birds and listening to nature. It would have been perfect had there not been issues with the water supply, which we had to manage and affected the enjoyment of your last day and morning there.

Host Response

We really appreciate your visit and your valuable feedback. We went crazy trying to find the parts we needed to fix the water problem, but all the hardware stores were closed over the Easter holidays . On any other day, we could have fixed it in no time.

One of my favorite Airbnbs ever! The space feels private and tucked into the jungle, but is still an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. The wooden design gives it so much character, and the elevated outdoor living area, with a kitchen and plenty of seating, was perfect for relaxing & listening to the sounds of the jungle Punta Uva is a gem as well! It’s a beautiful beach that still feels a bit wild, with plenty of great spots to eat and things to do nearby 🌺🌊🪸

The place is beautiful, very well located, has a great property, with lots of plants. You can and will see a bunch of animals and insects, but at least there were hardly any mosquitoes around on our trip. The house is in the middle of dense vegetation, it is well equipped and if you like the beach and like to fall asleep with animal noises, you have found the perfect accommodation here. One last point, the host of this place is incredibly productive, easy to reach and really sends lots of suggestions and tips on what to do locally, the place is really great, highly recommended and we will be happy to come back.

We spent four wonderful days and nights at the Beach Villa. An unforgettable experience. It was overwhelming to listen to the many animals day and night. Restaurants and beach within walking distance and worth a visit day and night. The fact that the outdoor area is so large creates a special tropical lifestyle. Of the seven accommodations in Costa Rica, the Beach Villa in Cocles was the most beautiful. The only downside was that we had to leave again and couldn't take the villa home with us.
