Nestled between the jungle and the ocea...
Experience the elemental beauty and rejuvenating spirit of Punta Banco in our all-seasons wavefront studio. Nestled between the jungle and the ocean on a half-acre of lush beachfront gardens, our lovingly converted banana container offers a cozy and dry air-conditioned bedroom, kitchen, spacious outdoor bathroom, and a shady teak front deck where you can relax in the sea breeze. Our studios are perfect for the discerning digital nomad, previously feral wave hound, or ocean minded couple. The space Located just steps from the Pacific Ocean, multiple quality surf breaks, and a refreshing natural cool dip, our Zapotillo Studio is both a true stoke station and an oasis of tranquility. With private parking, fast wifi, abundant natural spring water, and seasonal fresh fruit and herbs on-site, you'll have everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay. Our kitchenettes are stocked with quality cookware, a small fridge, and all the tropical kitchen essentials to pick and peel garden fruit or make fresh catch sushi. You are guaranteed to sleep soundly on queen-sized memory foam mattresses and wake up to the soothing sounds of nature that surround our little bit of paradise. Stretch in the mornings and sip drinks in the evenings from our canopy deck. And when you're ready to paddle out, simply walk over to our small, local-run surf shop located right out front. We'll connect you with rentals, lessons, and guidance to make the most of your time in the water. That same surf shop doubles as a cafe in the mornings in dry season, offering local coffee and delicious healthy smoothies :) Guest access You'll have access to one side of our container duplex, private front deck, shared canopy deck, front and back yards, and gardens. One parking space is available on site. Our tiny, locally run surf shop (Bodega Surf Supply) is located just out front where you can arrange rentals, lessons, and get info on where and when to surf in town. Other things to note Bodega Surf Supply is a small community & conservation-minded surf shop and rental business. Our wavefront location in Punta Banco serves as a meetup point for surf lessons with local instructors, supplies hard-to-find surf essentials, and provides comfy digs for discerning wave hounds. It is also home to Urchin Surfboards - which are shaped right out back in our garden workshop. A Little About Us: Pat & Christie are two Floridian lovebirds who quickly flew the coop to Costa Rica as soon as they finished school. We’ve been living happily in Punta Banco for 15 years. Our other project, The Yoga Farm, is where we make our home, teach, build, plant, and continue to grow ourselves. Wilmer and Becky, both born and raised in PB, and are as pura vida as they come. On any given day they surf, fish, teach, shoot photos, guide, and hustle around Pavones, all while keeping an incredible home and raising a beautiful family. We all look forward to helping make your time in Banco a magical and memorable experience.

This is my third time staying here and I will always be coming back. Christy and Pat are such good hosts, always available and I loved finding fresh lines of avocados waiting for me from the garden. Can’t wait to be back! Thanks for everything!

I LOVE staying in this magical place. It is so cozy and comfortable while still giving you the lush jungle vibes. It’s very well maintained and it has all the attention to detail. Path and Christy are amazing hosts and made my stay feel like I was at home. I love their smoothie bar right outside my door with some of the best smoothies I have ever had. The ice bath is a nice touch and some of the best surf on a stunning beach is right outside your door. Can’t wait to be back!

Wir waren absolut begeistert von dieser wundervollen gut durchdachten Unterkunft. Die Lage ist unglaublich, direkt gegenüber vom Meer, ganz nah am Dschungel. Es war sehr sauber, die Dusche ein schönes Erlebnis, alles sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet und eingerichtet. Die Kommunikation war super, wenn es Fragen gab, wurde direkt nach einer Lösung geschaut und gehandelt. Die Smoothies direkt vor der Tür sind die besten, die wir je getrunken haben. Alles in allem haben wir ein Stück vom Paradies erlebt, tausend Dank dafür, Michael und Jess

Die Unterkunft ist sehr ansprechend gestaltet. Das Bad hat uns besonders gut gefallen. Die Lage am Strand ist großartig. Mir persönlich war die Unterkunft, ein umgebauter Container, etwas zu eng. Aber da man die meiste Zeit draußen verbringt, ist es für ein paar Tage absolut ok.

We had the best time in Punta Banco, the airbnb is so close to the beautiful beach and very peaceful. The beach is beautiful with amazing sunsets and quiet surf. We will be back for sure. Also delicious smoothies from The Bodega just out front 🤤

Un séjour indescriptible dans cette partie du Costa Rica, dans la province de Puntarenas... La location (face à la mer) de ce charmant logement, conçu avec goût et dans un souci de confort, vous permet de profiter chaque jour d'un spectacle matinal (lever du soleil) et nocturne (coucher du soleil) différent. C'est une invitation à prendre le temps, à ralentir, à écouter et à être reconnaissant. Une énergie indescriptible émane de ce coin de terre sauvage et authentique, et je pense que les locaux ont leur part de responsabilité dans ce sentiment difficile à décrire, eux qui, avec humilité, ont beaucoup à offrir. Si vous recherchez l'authenticité, c'est ici qu'il faut aller. Si vous recherchez le calme et la sérénité, c'est ici qu'il faut aller. Goûtez le smoothie au cacao du café !!

This was my first vacation in six years! Everything about our stay was nothing less than amazing. The property and living quarters are so well thought out and welcoming, bursting with color and small details which make a grand impact. Literally a hop, skip, and jump away from the beach. The outside shower was an experience in itself. Felt like we had our own little oasis. The only huge issue was… having to leave. Going back as soon as we possibly can. Book now! You will not be disappointed! 🇨🇷🌊🏄🏾♀️🌴🌅🌺🤗🥇
