The Space

Playa Ocotal is a quiet village with a beautiful cove beach, gentle surf, and good walkability. The soft volcanic black-sand beach offers plenty of shade along the beachfront. Rocky reefs at both ends provide opportunities for shore snorkeling.
Water shoes are strongly recommended around the rocky areas. Barnacles and shells attached to the rocks can be sharp, and the rocky habitats may also contain sea urchins and other marine life. Exercise caution and remain aware of your surroundings.
Nearby conveniences include:
- A small mini-market
- Father Rooster on Playa Ocotal
- Sol Luna/AOi Sushi at Bahia Pez Vela Resort

Absolutely wonderful two week family holiday! As others have commented, the villa and views are even more beautiful than the photos. And Alina is the most helpful, charming, responsive host ever. My advice: go for as long as you can spare! We’ll be back.

Stunning! Only wished we had booked it for longer. What a beautiful getaway with the perfect view of the water and hillside from a perfect slice of paradise. Few AirBnBs ever make us say, we have to come to this one again.

We had an incredible stay at Vista Royal Villa. The home is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views that truly surpass what the photos show. Alina was a fantastic host and provided detailed instructions & thoughtful recommendations, which made our trip seamless. We followed her recommendation to use Luis for both our airport transfer and an excursion, and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend him—he was amazing! He is incredibly knowledgeable and took us to a waterfall, mud baths, hot springs, a volcano, & a rainforest. It was the highlight of our trip and allowed us to experience so much of Costa Rica in a single day. We also used Vamos Car Rental, which was very convenient. They delivered the car directly to the villa and picked it up afterward for a minimal fee. Having a car made it easy to explore Playa Coco, and we even took a day trip to Tamarindo. We all agreed this was the best vacation we’ve ever had. Thank you, Alina, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb near Ocotal Beach! The property is located behind a secure gate, which made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout our visit. The house is modern with a beautiful Zen-like feel, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and we loved being able to use the grill while enjoying the beautiful view—it made for perfect, relaxing evenings. Everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. Alina was an excellent host—very responsive, friendly, and helpful with local recommendations. The location was ideal for both relaxing and exploring the area. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Ocotal Beach area!

We loved our stay! Beautiful views and the house was modern, clean, and comfortable. We had 6 adults and 5 kids and it was plenty of space for all of us. The kids enjoyed the pool and the house was well stocked with amenities in the kitchen, beach chairs, and towels. The walk to the beach was easy and the kids enjoyed digging in the sand and exploring the tide pool. We also enjoyed the beaches at Playa del Coco and Playa Hermosa. We loved eating at Father Rooster.

Loved this home. We had family in for our 30th wedding anniversary and room enough for 10. Woke up every day to beautiful views and friendly birds. The beaches were easy to get to and the pool and big windows allowed for enjoy time in the house. Alina was extra helpful and accommodating.
