Cabinas Colibri, Playa Negra C.R. # 2 - Cabins for Rent in Los Pargos, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

very quaint and comfortable cabin. Everything you will need to have a pleasant stay is there. Brian, the host, is a super nice guy who will make you feel at home and willingly provides a lot of local information to make your stay a good one.Try his choice of sodas, you'll be glad you did.

Brian was a great host, very friendly and helpful and made sure I was set with everything I needed. The space was private behind his house which felt safe and he was  great point of contact for any needs that arose! Would highly recommend staying here, was a great location and felt more authentic and a true cultural experience the way he had his cabinas set up.

This is a beautiful, peaceful haven in a lovely secure, plant-filled courtyard. Brian is kind, thoughtful and helpful. The space is cute, comfortable, and well-equipped. The design is fairly al-fresco, which helps keep the place cool in the heat but means there is not a lot of sound or visual privacy between the two rooms. Not necessarily a problem for us, but worth being aware of depending on who you are staying with.

Brian and the Cabina were great. Stayed here to visit family and felt right at home.

We stayed here for a week with our sons and absolutely loved it. Brian is a gracious host and lovely to talk to. His garden is impeccable and provides a nice quiet oasis. We highly recommend this great spot!

Brian is a humble human, very friendly and hospitable made me feel at home. His home is nestled away in a beautiful lush area and he has a botanical garden on the premises. Definitely would recommend to anyone and I will be back! Pura Vida

From the start brian was extremely friendly and flexible. It was a seamless stay without any complaints the whole stay. would recommend to all.

Steps away from Deevena, Mycelium, and Cafe Playa Negra, this comfortable 2-bedroom cabina is close to fantastic dining options. The kitchen in the unit is basic, but had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch. Air conditioning is ICY cold. The beach at Playa Negra is about 7-8 minutes on foot, as is the amazing Corazon Surf Cafe. A 20 minute walk gets you down to Kontiki Playa Negra. This is your perfect, comfortable, private, peaceful getaway spot. Brian is an excellent host, and well deserving of the Superhost title. I highly recommend staying here!

Brian’s place was great. Central to the town and short distance to the beach and local restaurants. He gave us recommendations on places to eat nearby and was very responsive and nice. The place was clean and felt safe for our stay.

The house in the picture is where Brian lives.  The accommodation is in a secure courtyard behind the house.  A single level, 2 bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/livingroom combo.  There is a shower spout in the courtyard to rinse off the sand or just cool off.  The beach and restaurants and yoga studio are within short walking distance!  Brian is very friendly and informative.

very cozy place to stay, nice to recommend

Brian’s place is beautiful. Close to beach and restaurants. Gorgeous gardens and clean and comfortable.

Brian is a total gem!  He has a really wonderful vibe and his property is beautifully kept (he did all of the natural landscaping and it's really peaceful and tranquil.  Coffee on the porch meant being surrounded by a tropical garden and the occasional hummingbird visit, inside was fresh with the AC, there's an outdoor shower to rinse off sand, and the indoor shower has multiple heat settings for the water and good water pressure.  The bedrooms are open-air to the living room/kitchen and each other at the ceiling and there is also a passthrough opening that keeps the rooms well lit by daylight (if you're looking for total privacy in your bedroom this would not be the right place for you), but we were traveling with friends for the weekend and hanging out together or out of the house most of the day so it didn't bother us.  It's a quick drive 3-5 min (or a walk, probably 15 min?) to the beach at negra or a 15-20 min drive over to Avellanas.  Definitely a great spot and well priced!

Do not try to follow coordinates. They will bring you to a specific point in the middle of nothing. When you get to the general area, type "Colibri Cabins" into your GPS and it becomes VERY easy to find. There are very few numbered addresses in Costa Rica so this is often the only way to find places. Brian was very helpful and accommodating in our late arrival. showed us straight to our cabin in the middle of a impeccable garden. This cabin is everything you can ask for in such a lovely, unique country. Pura Vida

Great host in a very cool location. Brian went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy. Thanks for everything.

Awesome place and walking distance to playa negra with great waves. Brian was awesome and was very helpful. Loved that they recycle. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful winter at Brian and Ruby's. The cabina had everything we needed, and the garden is beautiful, private and immaculate. Brian was very friendly and responsive to our every request, always being sure we had everything we needed. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of the beach and many excellent restaurants. We especially enjoyed watching the birds and butterflies in the garden and learning about Brian's plant nursery and growing in Costa Rica.

Brian is such a nice guy ...the house is perfect for 3 ... or one couple plus one.... nice location to surf playa negra...10 min walking

The property is a really nice private oasis. Brian the owner was very welcoming, helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Would recommend to any!

Cabinas Colibri is a great place to stay that is close to the beach. Brian is a very friendly guy and will go out of his way to accommodate you.

The place was a great. Brian was very friendly and happy to help. 10-15 min walk to playa negra. 10 min drive to several beaches.

Our stay at Brian’s cabina was spectacular! Brian upkeeps his beautiful property, he is kind and friendly (even did our laundry). The lodging was safe and secure and we will definitely return!

Brian is a great host!  Super helpful, and generous with his time and suggestions for places to eat and things to do. He's done a great job with the landscaping, and the cabinas have we needed. I highly recommend his place.

we enjoyed our stay very much. It is in a great location, away from the buzz, but close enough to anything you need or enjoy ( tamarindo ca 35min). it s a beautiful place.

unique atmosphere, very beautiful. The owner served us very well.

ambiente único, muito bonito. o proprietário nos atendeu muito bem.

The house is really good, we used like base camp for surf trip you have lot of good spot around the place. I recommend, we well received. Thank you Brian !

What a beautiful place to stay. The landscaping is amazing. The rooms were clean and spacious. Brian was super helpful with giving us ideas for places to surf, eat, and do around Playa Negra. We hope to be back again soon.

Being hosted with good humor and politeness.

Être reçu avec bon humeur et politesse.

Brian was incredibly helpful in providing recommendations for food and drink and directions! The house and yard were beautiful and we loved that it was just a short walk from Playa Negra.

We were super well received by Brian who gave us the local tips such as the fishmonger, the grocery store. The beaches are beautiful and not far away. Great for surfers. Brian has also set up a very friendly little garden. That was great!

On a été super bien accueilli par Brian qui nous a donné les petits tuyaux du coin comme le poissonnier, le maraîcher. Les plages sont magnifiques et pas loin. Idéal pour des surfeurs. Brian a aussi aménagé un petit jardin très sympathique. C'était chouette !

Cabinas Colibri gets more and more beautiful every time we go. Clean, picturesque, the perfect paradise.

Brian is a great host, his place was perfect for us.

Brian is a wonderful host.  His place was extremely clean and everything was in working order.  The grounds are also very beautiful  and have a very relaxed vibe.

Brian was an excellent host, from being quick to respond to messages to offering up local tips on surf spots and the area. The issue with his place has nothing against Brian, it’s more so the location. Los Pargos is essentially a small village with only a couple of mini marts and two (a little pricey) eateries. So don’t be expecting much other than the world class surf spot. As far as Cabinas Colibri, it included towels, bedding, pots, pans, etc. A couple things it was lacking were AC and internet. While it is advertised that AC cost an extra $15 a night and there is internet outside, if you want to do work or browse the internet outside, you’re either in the heat during the day or battling with the bugs at night. If you’re the type of traveler who isn’t prepared with items to entertain yourself without internet or going out, be aware, this place is probably not for you.

It was very nice, the cabin is very comfortable and clean, we loved the place and plan to return. Just a few things for travelers to take into account: The rooms are "open" I imagine to improve the ventilation, for us it was not a privacy issue because we were family. The kitchen did not have basic things such as salt, sugar, oil, napkins, etc. so that they take it into account and prepare. There was no cell signal from the Kolbi company (national) and the wi-fi was very weak in the cabin, so some people may feel uncomfortable. And the last thing is that we saw several scorpions and a skunk (mop) was not a problem for us but just to let you know that there is a lot of fauna in the area :D

Estuvo muy agradable, la cabina es muy cómoda y limpia, nos encantó el lugar y pensamos volver. Solo unas cosas para que los viajeros tomen en cuenta: Los cuartos están "abiertos" me imagino para mejorar la ventilación, para nosotros no fue un problema de privacidad porque eramos familia. La cocina no tenía cosas básicas como sal, azúcar, aceite, servilletas, etc para que lo tomen en cuenta y se preparen. No había señal de celular de la empresa Kolbi (nacional) y el wi-fi era muy débil en la cabina, por lo que algunas personas pueden sentirse incomunicadas. Y lo último es que vimos varios escorpiones y un zorrillo (mofeta) no fue inconveniente para nosotros pero para que sepan que hay mucha fauna en el área :D.

These Cabinas are awesome! Just 2 Cabinas comfortably away from each other and lots of beautiful plants and trees in the courtyard garden that offered privacy. Brian is a great host. Available when you need him but gives you all the privacy you want. He was very helpful and answered all our questions! Felt very safe leaving our valuables in the cabina. There is a lovely courtyard around the building which offers security and privacy. Large ‘windows’ inthe wall can be opened to let in breezes. The cabina has all you need and if it doesn’t, Brian will do what he can to provide it for you. The location is great. 15 min walk to Playa Negra - the first 5 min through town and rest down a mostly shaded road. Swimming is great at the beach that is maybe 50 metres left of where you come out onto the main surfing beach at playa Negra. While we cooked at the cabina all the time (one month stay) There are some good restaurant choices near by as well. The one night we ate out, we had amazing fresh tuna at Cafe Playa Negra that was 5 star quality and only about $16. Ask what’s good and they won’t steer you wrong. The menu has lots of variety. This is a great place. Enjoy!

We enjoyed our stay! It's a good options near one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. The host was friendly, the gardens are beautifully tropical and the place was nice and clean with everything you need. We would stay there again!

Brian is a super-nice person who is willing to help with everything. The house is very cosy and comfortable. I highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you Brian, good job

Brian's place far exceeded our expectations and was the perfect place to stay for an extended time. Immaculately clean, impeccably designed, beautifully landscaped, great location. We couldn't have asked for more. Brian is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The best Airbnb host we've ever had!

Very nice,very quiet and well kept house. The exterior is very pleasant. The beach is about 15 minutes to walk.

Maison très sympa,très calme et bien entretenue. L'extérieur est très agréable. La plage est à une quinzaine de minutes à pied.

Bryan is a very friendly host, the place has an excellent location, the beach is 600 meters away,the place is clean, tidy, the beds are comfortable, it is a place to disconnect from the stress of the city... Near the accommodation there are restaurants and pulperías. Phone coverage is not very good. It's a nice place I'd recommend to go to the family.

Bryan es un anfitrión muy amable, el lugar tiene excelente ubicación la playa está a 600mts,el lugar es limpio, ordenado, las camas son cómodas, es un lugar para desconectarse del estrés de la ciudad... Cerca del alojamiento hay restaurantes y pulperías. La cobertura telefónica no es muy buena. Es un lugar agradable que recomendaría hasta para ir en familia.

Great cabina near the beach! The grounds are well kept and there’s plenty of interesting wildlife around. 10/10 would stay here again.

We had a wonderful  one month stay. The house was clean and  spacious. Brian the owner is a caring helpful guy that helped us arrange short trips. Brian is  a super friendly person who told us a lot about the area  and  the wildlife. The beach is about a 12 min walk .There are a few  restaurants walking distance too.

Everything you need.  I recommend having a car as there are several different beaches within a 15 min drive. A great restaurant at Villa Deevenas is a short walk away. The grounds are neat and there is a locked gate to the courtyard and a locked gate to the cabina. We always felt safe and did not worry about leaving items in the room when we were out. Trever was very knowledgeable about activities in the area.

GREAT communication! Answered all of my questions about the place and Costa Rica in general. It was a small secluded area with a beautiful beach. My favorite part was there weren't too many people there. Very nice hosts. Place is as described.

Our family of six loved staying at these two cabinas in Playa Negra. The location was perfect for exploring Playa Negra and as a home base to several beaches on the coast, the grounds for the cabinas were beautiful, they were clean and comfortable, and we saw some amazing wildlife including great pictures of the howler monkey that surprised us one night. The tip to grab supplies in bigger centres on route was much appreciated. The kitchens were stocked with what we needed to prepare meals, Brian was very friendly and a huge help during our stay, and we loved having pets around. 

this cabina was very comfortable my self and my visitors. I stayed for a whole month and had visitors for weeks on end and it fullfilled my needs, met my expectations and more. Ten minute walk to the beach, ten minute walk to a yoga studio and restaraunts, cafes, markets and surf shops in between! It was a very pleasant town and everyone was friendly, I highly suggest staying here and enjoy Los Pargos!

We stayed at Cabinas Colibri with friends after a beachfront property I tried to book was no longer available. The property was beautiful and secluded, set back slightly from the road, which helped cut down on the road noise. The walk to the beach took 10-15 minutes, which is just about the farthest I'd want to carry a surfboard, but still doable! The price seemed reasonable (about half what we would've payed to stay at a beach-front property) and we liked that we had two separate cabinas for privacy. First, we loved Los Pargos and the location of the cabinas. A small village that seems to mostly cater to tourists, Los Pargos was mostly quiet with only a few shops and restaurants. (Be sure to buy gifts at Lula's and eat every night at Gregorio's up the road in Playa Avellana.) We swam/surfed/boogie boarded at least twice every day. There is a sandy beach that's great for swimming, and a rocky reef where the surf is better (but I'm scared of crashing into the rocks!) Things we might have liked to know before hand: + The cabinas themselves do not offer much privacy, with no bedroom doors or curtains. However, this makes for better airflow and there are ceiling fans in each room. + There are few amenties: no shampoo, no washcloths, no games or frisbees, no beach towels, just one bath towel per person a bar of soap and toilet paper. The kitchen lacked any staples (salt, pepper, oil, paper towel, reusable containers, extra towels). + The well water from the tap is very good for drinking. + Most of the wildlife we saw was in our cabinas, so keep that in mind if you're skittish. Inside: lots and lots of spiders & ants, some giant tailless whipscorpions which nearly gave me a heart attack, 1 scorpion. Outside: lots of adorable lizards, leafcutter ants, howler monkeys, birds, and the pets (cuatro gatitos and friendly dogs boots & bubba) + WiFi signal in the cabinas in very poor. Ocassionally, you can get signal if you stand in the window nearest the main house. That was fine by me - I was thrilled to be non-contactable - but if you're hoping to be online, you'll need to sit outside in the garden. + We got lots of bug bites at night, so bring your bug spray! All in all, it was a great trip and the best birthday I've ever had. I would definitely stay again, and bring two surf boards next time. Thanks Brian and Trever for all your help!

Trever was communicative with us, and the other owner Brian was also kind, communicative and helpful. The cabina is a great place to stay, very clean and cozy. About a 10 minute walk from the beach(which is a very nice beach). Will stay here again. Also this place has water for bathing, whereas quite a few of the neighbors don't have water anymore due to droubt.

Trevor, though we did not meet you, our host Brian was very friendly and accommodating.  The cabin was as represented, we would recommend it without hesitation.  Karen, Rick & Amanda

I only have a good thing to say about the place. The cabina was clean and spacious and had everything you need for cooking a little. We did not meet Trever but Brian is a very friendly and cool host. The cabinas is at the back of the inner courtyard behind the main house and this gives good privacy. We are within walking distance of the small village where the small market, restaurants and beach are located. For the value for money, it was great. 

Je n'ai que du positif à dire de l'endroit. La cabina était propre et spacieuse et disposait de tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner un peu. Nous n'avons pas rencontré Trever mais Brian est un hôte très sympathique et cool. Les cabinas se trouvent au fond de la cour intérieure derriere la maison principale et cela donne une bonne intimité. On est à quelques minutes de marche du petit village où se trouve le petit marché, les restos et la plage. Pour le rapport qualité/prix c'était très bien. 

My host Brian was extremely helpful and kind. We had long, interesting conversations and I learned a lot from him about Costa Rica and the problems the country faces (drought e.g.)

What a wonderful place with true and pure relaxation. Our host was and is a kind and gracious person. If the beauty of the ocean is not enough to make you feel alive and good the people are!!  

I stayed at Cabinas Colibri for three days last week and had a fantastic experience.  We were pretty dusty and road-tired when we pulled up, but Brian welcomed us right away and showed us around.  The grounds are beautiful and the house is very airy and open (literally - there are no doors in the house besides the front one!). It has everything you need for a rustic getaway in Los Pargos. The 'neighborhood' (which is the main stretch of Los Pargos) is great - there is a fantastic breakfast place steps away and several great surf shops/restaurants/bars down the road. And you are maybe a &lt;15 min walk from the beach!!! You can also drive to several other beaches and are 25-30 minutes from the bigger town of Tamarindo, which has larger grocery shops (there are small markets in town but you can get anything you need in Tamarindo).  We never met Trever but Brian was very welcoming and we talked to him every day when we saw him around the property or out on the main road. I very highly recommend Cabinas Colibri for anyone who is looking for an out of the way vacation destination.

The apartment is ok about 15 min walk from the beach, which is suitable for surfing rather than swimming. In the village, there is a pizzeria and also a small shop for shopping. The complex itself is beautiful, calm and large in every room are fans. The kitchen is spartan, it is completely sufficient for making breakfast, but all bring salt, sugar, tea etc. are not available. The road to the house is not paved but can also be reached without a four-wheel drive. Unfortunately, when we were there, there was no wifi, but should be set up in the next few months. Laundry is $5 + laundry detergent extra. The host was very friendly and the handover worked out great:) thank you so much

Die Wohnung ist ok ca. 15min zu Fuß vom Strand, dieser ist zum Surfen geeignet zum Schwimmen eher nicht. Im Ort gibt es eine Pizzeria und auch einen kleinen Shop zum Einkaufen. Die Anlage selber ist schön, ruhig und groß in jedem Zimmer sind Ventilatoren. Die Küche ist spartanisch eingerichtet, zum Frühstück machen reicht es vollkommen, jedoch alles mitbringen Salz, Zucker, Tee usw. sind nicht vorhanden. Die Straße zum Haus ist zwar nicht geteert aber auch ohne Allrad zu erreichen. Als wir dort waren gab es leider kein Wifi, soll aber in den nächsten Monaten eingerichtet werden. Wäsche waschen kostet 5 Dollar + Waschmittel extra. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und die Übergabe hat super geklappt :) vielen dank

Our trip here was nice- the cabina was bigger than expected- so that was a pleasant surprise. We really loved the area- though the beach is definitely more geared towards surfing than swimming with the riptides. The few shops nearby were cute- all we really needed- Jalopenos restaurant was our favorite- organically grown ingredients and a very fresh healthy menu. The place was kept clean, though certain things needed repair- like the screens- we had a few visitors. We were a little surprised to find out that Trever wasn't actually the person to meet us- which made us a little uncomfortable. He has a property manager named Brian who was very helpful and friendly, we were just surprised to meet him and not Trever. Trever did come by a couple of days after our arrival and was also very helpful and friendly. He had offered to pick us up from the bus stop and found us a taxi to Santa Cruz for an early departure. Overall, I'd recommend Cabinas Colibri- definitely a good space for your money. Area is beautiful.

The cabina was large and in a lovely courtyard in town about a 5-10minute walk to the beach. The on site mgr. Brian was most helpful, and vey knowledgeable about the biodiversity of the area. The amenities are basic and adequate. I stayed a month and loved it!!!

I share the same oponion with the previous reviewers. Just adding a wonderfull mediterian architexture of the cabinas and sorroundings which makes a great compact with the garden and the front house. Recomend this and would come back anytime.

We spent two weeks at cabinas colibri and it was amazing! We thought we were going there in the rainy season but in the area it doesn't fully start before the end of august so everything is fine. Brian was so genuine and helpful as well as providing many advices on the area. Him and the two dogs were very often on the property and very easy to reach.  With plenty of things to do in the area, like fishing, snorkelling, surfing, horseback riding but we would still advise to have a car since public transportation closest stop is at quite a distance and taxi can become expensive. Even a very small car can manage their gravel roads. We had a suzuki alto and never had a problem moving around in the area!    I wish you to enjoy the magnificent sunset like we did at Playa Negra! They are amazing :)

Hola!  My husband and I have just returned home after spending 7 weeks at Cabinas Colibri, needless to say, so sad we are not still there.  Our stay at the cabinas was awesome!  Brian, our "landlord" went out of his way to accommodate our needs and was eager to ensure that our stay was a good one.  We rented one of the two cabinas for 7 weeks, the last week, members of our family rented the second one.  The cabinas are basic, but comfortable, for us, it suited our needs perfectly!  There are two small stores in town that provide basic necessities, for groceries, produce, meats, a trip to Santa Cruz (half an hour drive) enabled us to stay stocked with our food needs.  We knew that we didn't want to eat out too much, and preferred to prepare our own meals - the kitchen was sufficiently stocked to ensure that.  There are a few small restaurants in town for those that desire to eat out.  The beach was about a 15 minute walk away, sunsets were exquisite!  Brian was usually on property, but never intrusive.  He was always doing yardwork and not he and the "boys" - Bubba and Boo (two friendly, friendly dogs) were too far away if there was a need.  We would definitely book here again!  The price can't be beat at your own little oasis!

Walking distance from the beautiful beach! The cabin was lovely and spacious! We did a lot of cooking in there, making ourselves at home (also the town is pretty tiny). It is a long ride to Tamarindo, and you'll really want GPS and a 4 wheel drive with heavy duty tires for the gravel road.Trever & Brian were really nice, and super helpful with all our needs.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Cabinas. Our host was very nice and helpful. Playa Negra is one of the most beautiful beaches we found in Costa Rica. The restaurant on the beach has the most delicous ceviche and there is an awesome snorkeling beach not far away. You definitely need a car as everything is in quite a distance and the area is well known for its scorpions, which are nasty but not a real danger. An awesome spot for surfers!

It´s a lovely simple, rustic house in a gorgeous area and very good value for money. Brian is very cheerful and was always willing to help and he has two fantastic dogs! His friend, Mike, runs a local taxi service and was also very helpful in getting me on a bus in Santa Cruz!   There are a few bars and restaurants closeby that are fun and friendly places with good food and drink. The house has good kitchen facilities but there are not really any decent food shops around the local area.

Very nice place to stay, Beautiful, and safe! Brian was very helpful and great to talk to! The area was in the slow season, so there wasnt many places open to eat, but during the high season, this place would be full of life!  If you are searching by map, this property is not in Tamarindo though.

The cabina was clean, cute and cozy, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The property is all fenced so we felt really safe. Our host Brian was extremely nice and helpfull, so was everybody in the little pueblo of Playa Negra! A nice place to spend a few relaxing days away from the crowds of tourists. Great place for surfers too!

We had come to CR to find a place to retire to and needed a hub in the area to stay while we talked to other owners about long-term rentals. We had stayed at other hubs around the country and when we talk about all the places we kept saying that Trever's place was the best. It's centrally located in the city and just a one minute walk to a great restaurant and about a three or four minute walk to the beautiful beach. When we first got to the Cabina, it was not what we expected, but after reflecting we loved it. Thanx Trever

Great find! Really close to some of the nicest beaches near small towns with the friendliest people :)
