Playa Nido Blanco + Private Beachfront Casita + Pool - Houses for Rent in Parrita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We had a great stay at Jays place. It was peaceful and beautiful and we all had a great time. Jefferson, the caretaker, was very friendly, and was always available if we needed anything. Thanks for a great stay!

Had an amazing time here, so close to the beach and a great big pool in the backyard. Jefferson and his mother were great and answered all of our questions about local restaurants, places to get groceries, and tours. We even had a power outage at one point, and Jefferson came over to talk to us, something that happens from time to time. But the power was back on within the hour. Really appreciated the fresh towels since we left ours outside to dry and the rain got them even more wet. The house itself was very spacious, and everything worked great.  Would definitely stay here again

The beach house was a dream! The pool is in the back, and the magnificent Pacific Ocean is in the front. We immediately felt at home and didn't want to leave at the end. The caretaker, Jefferson, and his mother took care of our well-being: laundry service, he kept an eye on us in the waves, and when we left, he opened coconuts for us as a farewell. Overall: highly recommended!

Das Strandhaus war ein Traum! Hinten der Pool, vorne der herrliche Pazifik. Wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt und wollten zum Schluss gar nicht mehr weg. Der Hausmeister Jefferson war gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter um unser Wohl bemüht: Wäscheservice, er hatte ein Auge auf uns in den Wellen, bei unserer Abreise schlug er zum Abschied Kokosnüsse für uns auf. Alles on allem: absolut empfehlenswert!

We loved our stay!  The beach was amazing.  We had it to ourselves every time we went.  The pool was also very nice.  The house itself was comfortable and spacious.

The homes and location were wonderful! Surrounded by beauty and peace! Our hosts were very accommodating, kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for relaxation, and amazing views.

This place was better than expected. The pictures don’t even do it justice. It’s a little out-of-the-way, but that’s exactly what we wanted. The beach and the views on the bay were beautiful. We might have seen a total of four other people on the beach. We felt completely safe. Jefferson and his mom live on part of the property and they were so helpful. Jefferson booked massages for us. We ended up accidentally scratching our rental car pretty badly so we were trying to look at the damage and see what we could do to fix it. But Jefferson‘s mom came out helped us wash the car waxed it for us and fix the damage that we had. She was amazing. She even got coconuts for us and opened them up so that we could have them to drink. The Pacific Beach is a little rough at high tide but this was the perfect time to use the pool. We saw turtle eggs and monkeys on the inlet. We got to walk out and get mangoes to have a breakfast. This is an excellent place to stay!

LOVE the home. Had an amazing experience staying at this home. Definitely the most private and peaceful beach stay I’ve ever had. It felt like we had the whole BEAUTIFUL beach to ourselves. The river behind the home was fun to fish, and the pool in the backyard was perfect. Jay’s team on the property were caring and helpful. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Casa Blanco was exactly the peaceful retreat that my children and I needed. The location is remote enough to feel secluded and close enough to town to easily access groceries or a meal out. We intentionally chose not to stay in a high tourist area, however, we were close enough to access all of the activities if we chose too. Manuel Antonio was an easy drive and we really enjoyed the Manuel Antonio Beach for swimming in calmer waters. The house itself was the perfect amount of space for myself and 3 teens. As a woman travelling solo with her kids I felt safe. Jefferson made sure that we had everything we needed and the grounds were impeccable. My kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and combing the beach for sand dollars. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a simple, quiet, authentic Costa Rican vacation. Pura Vida 🌊☀️

We loved it; the access to the beach is great, and the place is very quiet, with few people, so you can enjoy it in privacy.

Nos encantó,  el acceso a playa es genial  el lugar muy tranquilo sin mucha gente se disfruta con privacidad.

I had a misunderstanding with Jay at check-in regarding the parking spot, and I sent a very rude message. As a business owner, I would suggest that there are more polite and respectful ways to address a customer. Also, I asked him well in advance about the possibility of a late check-out; he told me we would discuss it later, but he never got back to me. We arrived earlier than scheduled because we came early due to the Easter weekend traffic, and we asked if we could leave our luggage and check in later. The lady who attended to us said yes and opened the house for us, but apparently, this also bothered Jay, who used it as an excuse to tell us that we had to check out at 10:00 a.m. “without exception.” I hadn't had a vacation in 3 years, and after those setbacks, I wasn't able to enjoy it the same way. 😔.  Likewise, when we left, we left the house before 10:00 a.m. We left it swept, everything clean, tidied up, and put away… with an incredible amount of stress, because the last thing I wanted was to get any more messages.

Tuve un mal entendido con Jay a la hora de hacer el check in con el lugar del parqueo y envió un mensaje bien grosero. Como dueña de negocio le sugiero que hay formas más educadas y respetuosas para dirigirte a un cliente. Además le solicité con mucha anticipación la posibilidad de un “late check out”, me dijo que luego lo hablamos y nunca me dijo nada. Llegamos más temprano de la hora porque nos vinimos con tiempo por la presa de Semana Santa y solicitamos si podíamos dejar las maletas e ingresar más tarde, la señora que nos atendió nos dijo que sí y nos abrió la casa pero al parecer a Jay también eso le molestó usando eso para decirnos que teníamos que hacer check out a las 10 am “sin excepción “. Yo tenía 3 años de no tener vacaciones y luego de esos percances pues no las pude disfrutar igual. 😔.  De igual forma al irnos, salimos de la casa antes de las 10 am dejamos barrido, todo limpio, recogido y guardado…con un estrés increíble porque lo menos que quería era recibir más mensajes

I normally don’t ever leave a bad review and didn’t this time either but this needs a response.  They arrived 3 hours before the check-in time parked the car in the middle of our yard. Asked politely to move the car. Did not until later. Was told the house was not ready and decided to make lunch for her family. Was incredibly rude to my caretaker that with all our reviews is the sweetest person maybe in Costa Rica. Asked them to check out on time because we had another group checking in that day. With the arrival being such a pain I wanted to make sure they knew it was a 10 am checkout. I even got a text from Luz Marie about how rude they were to her which was further upsetting. Not sure not having a vacation in 3 years is a good reason to be rude to anybody.

A magical place! We really enjoyed our stay as a family. We felt right at home. We will definitely be back.

Lugar mágico! Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía en familia. Nos sentimos en casa. Sin duda volveremos

Lovely atmosphere right in front of the beach with the perfect view, how better can it be. The house had all the amenities for making your own meals if you come with your family. The caretakers and host were very friendly and responsive. Thank you so much Jay!

We had an awesome stay at Jay’s beautiful property! We rented one cottage while friends of ours rented the cottage next door and it was so great! We loved that the beach was RIGHT across the street and enjoyed our coffee in the mornings from the covered high porch. While out running in the mornings we saw lots of wildlife including monkeys! The property managers were super friendly and helpful and were able to help with recommendations. The area is quite secluded so you’ll definitely need a vehicle. There’s a great little restaurant right down the road when you come down palo seco road. We will definitely be back and will absolutely recommend this gem of a place to others!

This is a wonderful place in a beautiful and peaceful setting. It is a compound with 3 houses yet also very private. The beach is right across a sleepy dirt road and within 3 minutes you are in the water. The beach is very wide and great for walking anytime of the day. The compound also has a pool and is bound on one side by a tidal estuary. There are lots of iguanas, birds and some friendly beach dogs. In front of each house there is an open thatched roof room up on stilts which has a beautiful breeze all day long. The house is very comfortable and was very clean. Luz, a local host, is right next door and can help with most questions or issues if they come up. Although we did not come with small children this is a great place for families as the pool is right there and the beach / ocean is fairly calm and very warm. We hope to return

Unique experience and location. Really fantastic as a decor. The house is original, decorated, practical and well-equipped.

Expérience et emplacement unique. Vraiment fantastique comme de décor. La maison est originale, décorée, pratique et bien équipée.

We loved our stay at Playa Nido!!! It was so peaceful and the beach was so private, we basically had it all to ourselves. It was a great place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of other touristy locations. Our family felt super safe and Jefferson and Luz were so kind and hospitable. Will definitely come back!

This is such a special place. We loved the relaxation and beauty. We walked on the beach and watched the sunsets every nights. We will be back!

We loved staying at Jay’s place as it is private with a beautiful beach and awesome sunsets!  We look forward to coming back!

This is my fourth stay at Playa Nida.  It is a peaceful, beautiful place right on the ocean.  Luz and Jefferson, the caretakers make this place special

Playa Nido is uniquely situated, expertly run and is the definition of R&R. It’s a lovely place.

The best place we have ever stayed! Amazing quiet location on the beach. A pool and addition water behind the house. Everything you could ever need right there. Ordered meals and they were delicious. Very clean and spacious house, beds comfortable. Loved all of it the host is amazing and we didn’t want to leave. Will be back to this place again for sure. Thank you for having us.

The location is spectacular with beach on one side, lagoon on the other. The pool was well-maintained and clean, with shallow areas perfect for kids and a deeper middle with a small waterfall. The palapa out front had a great view, my wife and I spent mornings there with coffee and evenings with beers, watching the ocean. The kids explored the beach and found tons of sand dollars. The house matched the photos with plenty of space. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean. Jay was friendly during our brief overlap before he headed back to the US, and Jefferson (the caretaker) was fantastic, super helpful with local recommendations and lent us boogie boards the kids loved. The Pacific coast water is rough, but that's normal for the entire area. One thing to note: the property is about 20 minutes down a dirt road from the main road near Parrita. We loved this because it meant total privacy and a quiet beach with almost no other people around, but be aware of the distance.

Great place. Quiet and peaceful. Beds were comfy. The shower was wonderful. We saw monkeys in the yard and rays in the ocean.

Loved it. Not much close to do  but I assure you that that’s the point. Peace and quiet. Loved the beach and my son and I body boarded every day. Don’t be thrown off by the reviews that say don’t go in the water. Be smart about it and use common sense. We were in water up to our chests no problem and only went in when the tide was rising and enjoyed some big waves. Ask Jefferson for advice on times to go in if you are nervous and he’ll let you know. Pool was great too. Manuel Antonio NP was over touristy and we regretted going. Was only thing in CR over 2 weeks that we regretted. Should have stayed at beach house for the day. Take advantage of having Jefferson and his mom prepare food for you. It was amazing. Great experience.

We had an amazing stay! It was peaceful and quiet and the perfect way to get away from it all.  We loved spending our mornings in the palapa drinking coffee and reading books. We went for walks on the beautiful, nearly empty beach in the afternoons. Jay and the caretakers, Luz and Jefferson, were wonderful to work with and took care of everything.  I cannot recommend this place enough! We didn't want to leave!

What a wonderful stay! Warm welcome, everyone was available to answer our questions. Breathtaking views. A big thank you for everything!

Quel beau séjour! Accueil chaleureux, tous étaient disponibles pour répondre à nos questions. Panoramas à couper le souffle. Un gros merci pour tout!

We had a really nice stay. The bungalow Is across the street from a secluded stretch of beach which is ideal for going for a swim or a walk along the water. There is a nice little pool behind the bungalow. Jefferson was always available to answer questions or help with things. The place was super clean, exactly as described, and the great place to relax for a while.

We really enjoyed Jay's house and the beach.

Disfrutamos mucho de la casa de Jay y de la playa.

Fantastic stay! We came here for the last part of our trip to relax and decompress after a week of adventure, and it was the perfect atmosphere for that. The view of the waves from the palapa was stunning and incredibly soothing. We also loved spending time in the pool. Jefferson was amazing—he helped us arrange massages and even had dinner prepared for us one evening. The whole fried fish was absolutely delicious! I’d come back again in a heartbeat.

We spent a wonderful three nights at Jay's place.  The location was perfect for what we were looking for.  The home is on a property with two other homes, but still offers the privacy we were looking for.  The home is right across from the beach.  My boys and I spent time in the water boogey boarding.  The waves can get high and you have to be respectful of the water at all times.  I spent the mornings going for a jog on the beach which was great!  The home itself had everything we needed.  The best part of the stay was Jefferson and his mom, who are the wonderful caretakers of the property.  They were extremely helpful and answered any questions or requests we had.  I highly recommend ordering food from them! Our only regret was not ordering more meals from them.  The food is homemade and delivered by Jefferson.  Overall a wonderful stay and we can't wait to return!

Jefferson made our experince particularly nice and relaxing at this quaint beach house.

We had a great stay! Plenty of space for a family of 4. The pool right out our back door was such a treat for all of us. Our kids loved the tree houses on the property. The beach was beautiful, and we had it entirely to ourselves most of the time. There were several clean beach towels and boogie boards available for us to use on property. The meals we ordered were delicious! If you are arriving around dinnertime, make sure to order a meal ahead of time (24 hours in advance) or pick something up before arrival, as it's a bit of a drive to the nearest restaurant and grocery store.

The house is on a dirt road with lots of pot holes. it is a long drive from Parrita.  The house and pool were great.  Jefferson and his Mother worked hard to help us and make our stay enjoyable.

This is our third stay at Playa Nido.  We meet with our friends who live across the United States for 4 weeks.  The beach is  beautiful, secluded and pristine.  The very best part of this place are the caretakers, Luz Marie and her son Jefferson.  They are why we return here.  They are friendly and kind.  Luz is an amazing cook too!  They keep the pool and grounds in excellent shape and are here to help in any way they can.  We will be back

We loved our stay at Jay's house. The beach was amazing and the caretakers were wonderful. We will come back!

We want to sincerely thank the wonderful caretakers Luz and her son Jefferson for their kindness and hospitality during our stay at the beach house in Palo Seco. Her warmth and attention made our experience even more special. We hope to come back soon! 🌴✨

Queremos agradecer de corazón a los maravillosos cuidadores Luz y su hijo Jefferson por su amabilidad y hospitalidad durante nuestra estancia en la casa de playa en Palo Seco. Su calidez y atención hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera aún más especial. ¡Esperamos volver pronto! 🌴✨

A super cute house, just like the photos, very clean Jay and the host are very friendly and attentive to answer inquiries, the surroundings are clean and with incredible views we would ♥️ definitely come back

Una casa súper linda, igual a las fotos, muy limpio Jay y el anfitrión muy amables y atentos a responder consultas, los alrededores limpios y con unas vistas increíbles ♥️ sin duda volveríamos

Absolutely loved the private beach, not a sole in sight! Caretaker Jefferson met us and showed us around. Luz, Jefferson’s mom made us dinner! Best meal of our two week vacation! Stunning sunset from our palapa! Fun time in the pool with the sweet resident dog Malu! Spectacular bonus was being part of the baby sea turtle release! Amazing quiet, private place. Could spend a lifetime here!

This stay was by far our favorite for various reasons. Firstly, you are in a peaceful and beautiful surroundings with your own private beach directly across the road! Jefferson was a great help and greeted us right away for check in. Everything matched the description and photos and was a great way to end our stay in Costa Rica and relax a bit before going back to reality! Will defintley stay here again.

First off, I want to say that the caretakers of this property are just wonderful, and the host was very responsive as well. Jefferson and his mother Luz were always available, helpful, and even took us out looking for sea turtles one evening. It was my twins birthday, and they brought a beautiful fruit filled with local fruit, candies, and treats. Their care is five star for sure! The house at itself is a funky beach house. It smelled strongly of mildew when we arrived, but maybe hadn’t been occupied for a few days because that seemed to dissipate as we stayed. The kitchen is minimal but we were able to make do. There is not much nearby so we made all our meals. The pool is nice and well-maintained. The location of the house definitely make this place a gem. It’s very remote and you have the beach to yourselves most times. All in all, I would likely stay there again, knowing all of that. If you want to get away from the crowd and interact with some lovely locals, this is the place!

Fantastic stay! We literally had miles of beach to ourselves. We might have seen a total of seven other people the four days we were there. The beach is almost black sand and the kids had a blast playing in the waves and finding sea creatures during low tide. High tide is a little scary with small children. The location is definitely off the beaten path, but so worth it. Manuel Antonio is an hour away. The room service they serve is better than any nearby restaurant, and in our experience, more affordable as well. Jefferson and his mom were phenomenal. The house was in pristine condition, the food was delicious, excellent tour guide recommendations were provided. I have nothing negative to say. I hope we can come back and stay here longer instead of splitting our vacation into multiple destinations.

Great place! Beautiful and just what we were looking for. Jefferson is a gem - always helpful and friendly and worth his weight in gold to have on site.

Jay was staying at the casita next door. We had a chance to meet him!!! Jefferson, the caretaker of the grounds and his mom were amazing! Her meals were incredibly delicious. My husband went deep sea fishing and brought back tuna. She cooked it for us and it was exquisite! Jefferson and his mom were  attentive.

Better than the description!! Loved being across the road from the beach which was essentially private for our family. And we rotated between the beach and backyard pool. Jefferson, our onsite host was so attentive and kind and gave us great restaurant recommendations. Just wish we hadn’t waited til our last night to have Luz. , his mom, make our dinner. It was delicious, we ordered like off a restaurant menu, and the food was delicious and more affordable than eating out. And Jefferson delivered it right to our table- family of 7. And we had our own “treehouse” overlooking the beach. Pacific Ocean. 🌊

Wowzer.  This felt like we were on a private beach. We spent so much time in the Palapa. The bathrooms were nice and clean and there was even a little fruit basket which was delicious. The white Casita sat in the perfect place to watch our boys in the pool and view the beach. The beds were comfy and the air was cool. We would have stayed more days to enjoy the beach.

The property was great.  The caretaker Jefferson was very responsive and attentive.  Very quaint place right on the beach.

The house was as pictured. It was a ways out, but that was anticipated. Jefferson and Luz were amazing and made sure we were comfortable and well cared for. They were very responsive and helpful both before arrival and during our stay.

I love this place, perfect for getting away from the city bulla. It is clean, ample, very green, fully equipped kitchen. My only recommendation is that they take everything they are going to cook and drink as the village is a little far away, but that remoteness is part of the charm. Highly likely to return.

Amo este lugar, perfecto para alejarse un poco de la bulla de la ciudad. Es limpio, amplio, muy verde, cocina totalmente equipada. Mi única recomendación es que lleven todo lo que van cocinar y beber, ya que el pueblo esta un poco lejos, pero esa lejanía es parte del encanto. Altamente probable que regrese.

We loved this place. It is convenient to many of the activities we were interested in - rain forest hikes, snorkeling, Manuel Antonio - but off the beaten track, and very quiet and peaceful and relaxed. We immediately felt comfortable and at home. The raised seating facing the ocean was our hangout when we weren't away, or in the ocean or pool. The house is more spacious than we had imagined. There is a good restaurant a short drive or longer walk away. The caretakers are so friendly and ready to help out in any way. As mentioned, the mom will cook for you if you give a day's notice, and we did that one evening. We stayed 3 nights and wished we had allowed for more. We would definitely return.

This house was perfect for our group of 6.  Two couples, and two  kids. We arrived after dark, and Jefferson met us in the driveway to show us to the  house. The AC was on and refreshing. The pool is directly behind "our" house (white one). The kids jumped in and played daily/nightly. The beach is across the road out front and you can hear the waves. Beautiful! The palapa was great for coffee, reading and visiting. Jefferson was an amazing host! He was available for all questions. His mom Luz, cooked us dinner our last night and it was affordable and  incredibly delicious!! We walked on the beach to La Isla for dinner another night (12 minutes). It has a bar, pool table & foosball table. Monkeys visited one morning and Jefferson alerted us to come out and feed them. He had cut up bananas. Very cool experience! Also, green parakeets congregate in the tree by the river (in back beyond the pool) in the evenings. This place is a bit remote, so bring groceries. You'll love it! We did!

We loved our stay at Playa Nido!  So peaceful and relaxing. We rarely saw anyone else in the beach. No trash hardly anywhere. Luz and Jefferson, the caretakers were there for us the whole week, and were so helpful! Luz’s meals were the best! I appreciated all of Jays helpfulness in answering any questions! We are already dreaming of our next visit at this Air BNB!

This place is awesome and the staff is very helpful and friendly. My family loved the stay!

Amazing place! You will not regret it! Can’t tell you how much we loved this place! If you’re hesitant, don’t be! Reserve!

Highly recommend ordering meals on site. This gem is to good to share🤷🏼‍♀️ Beyond our expectations Definitely will return

We had a fabulous two week stay at Playa Nido Blanco while our friends rented the neighboring casitas. As a family with young kids, the location was was wonderful- steps to a quiet beach and a pool in the backyard provided hours and hours of daily fun. The palapas are a beautiful breezy spot to escape the heat, and Luz and Jefferson are friendly and attentive. Luz’s cooking was amazing- and getting meals cooked at home was a great convenience with young kids. Overall a wonderful vacation spot, and we would return in a heartbeat!

Had a wonderful stay at Jay's place.  The beach front home was very open and spacious with a nice size yard with the pool in the back and the ocean in the front of the house.  It is a beautiful private beach, so if your looking for a quiet get away, this is the place for you.  The care taker was very helpful in answering any questions or getting something for us that we needed.  He even cooked a great meal for me and my family and it was very affordable.  The location is on a dirt road, about 5 miles back from the main road, so having your own vehicle is a must.  This location is roughly a half hour from Jaco and Quespo and about 40 minutes from Manuel Antonio which we visited during our stay.  The only thing I would suggest getting upgraded is a new coffee pot and toaster and a few new pots and pans.  Other than that, everything was very nice and I would stay at this aribnb again.

We had an amazing time here! Jefferson and his family are really what makes it so special. Jefferson is very helpful and I highly recommend ordering his mom's cooking at least once! Beautiful location. We hope to come back!

Fantastic. Would rent again without hesitation. If you are looking for shopping and bars and restaurants and touristy stuff within walking distance —this is not for you… If you are looking for 5 star accommodations with 800 thread count linens and designer soap —this is not for you.. If you want a comfortable spot literally on a five star beach with virtually no one else on the beach, this is for you. The proximity to the beach and nature with a palapas right on the water ..and a pool make the rental special. I had fish everyday at several restaurants. Luz’s whole fish was the best. Best food I had whole time I was in Costa Rica Jay is a fantastic host. Luz anf Jefferson are wonderful caretakers. I can’t rave about the location enough.

Caretakers Jefferson and Ruth are worth their weight in gold, serviceable, friendly, courteous and always helpful to make your stay great.

beautiful beach right outside the front door and we had the beach to ourselves. Some things inside could use some updating and replacement. Jefferson the caretaker was sweet and very helpful. Have his mother Luz cook you a dinner. absolutely delicious.

This was a perfect, unique location. Easy to get to nearby attractions if and when desired, but it’s hard to tear yourself away from the beautiful pristine beach, shared pool, palapa and hammocks, and beautiful surroundings. Luz and Jefferson were always on site and extremely responsive to any questions or anything we needed. Would definitely come again!

Awesome! Thanks Luz! Thanks Jai! Unforgettable!

Великолепно! Спасибо Луз! Спасибо Джай! Незабываемо!

Jay's place far exceeded our expectations.  The house is very well equipped and extremely clean.  The pool is alot larger than it appears in the photos and the area is very breezy.   We came looking for some R&R and to escape the hustle and bustle of Manuel Antonio/Quepos.  We couldn't have picked a better place and only 30 minutes away.  Luz, the manager and her son, Jefferson,  played a large part in making our four day getaway wonderful.  They were very attentive to our needs.  Luz is an excellent chef and I highly recommend her for an in-house breakfast or dinner.

The beach was actually 41 steps from the front door.  Pristine and beautiful beach with very very few people (most the time we were the only ones on the beach).   What the home misses for five star luxury is more than offset by the location.

Best AirBnb stay BAR NONE! Do yourself a favor and if you're traveling to Costa Rica book one of Jay's houses now! It's a bit off the beaten path but trust me when I say, you will be delighted with where you are. The beach is your front yard and it's spectacular.  The house itself was comfortable and clean. Some of the furniture is outdated but who cares?!?! The best part about the place are the people who take care of it. Jefferson and his Mom, Luz, go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. And do yourself another favor, let Luz cook for you. OMG! She's an amazing cook and the food is reasonable priced. We had her cook for us almost every single night. Again, amazing. I don't know what else I can say about this place. It was worth every penny we paid to stay there. We'll be back that's for sure.  Thanks Costa Rica, Jefferson and Luz, you made us feel right at home!

Luz and her son were lovely on-site caretakers and so helpful. We really enjoyed the remote property with beautiful views and an incredibly clean home!

Very nice place to stay for quiet days as a family. The accommodation is remote, you need about 10-15 minutes by car to long in the front of the village. About 5 minutes away, there is a delicious restaurant. Jeff and his family are very helpful and always there for questions. Sincere thanks for the time and your work.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft für ruhige Tage als Familie. Die Unterkunft ist abgelegen, man braucht etwa 10-15Minuten mit dem Auto um vorne ins Dorf zu langen. Etwa 5Minuten entfernt hat es ein leckeres Restaurant. Jeff und seine Familie sind sehr hilfsbereit und immer für Fragen da. Herzlichen Dank für die Zeit und eure Arbeit.

This place was amazing, and I would book here again. The onsite caretaker, Jefferson and his family, were extremely welcoming. We even came back a few times and returned to a tidy house after a long day out at the beach. Jay, the host, did an amazing job communicating upon our arrival and helped with directions to the place. It is extremely accessible and the ocean view out the front of the house was breathtaking. The slow mornings sitting out on the cabanas eating our breakfast with coffee and looking out upon the ocean were our favorite mornings of the trip. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!

We stayed in a white cottage, there were 5 adults and a kid. The house was fully equipped with everything you may need and more. Books for reading and board games, the power went out for a few hours one of the days and we were able to cook in the gas stove and take advantage of the family board games. Beautiful place for a calm and relaxing holidays. Private place with the beach in front almost just for us, very clean beach. Luz Maria and Jefferson's service was wonderful. Luz Maria even helped us find support for an event we had with the car. I would gladly return!

Nos hospedamos en casita blanca, éramos 5 adultos y un niño. La casa estaba completamente equipada con todo lo necesario y más. Libros para leer y juegos de mesa, se fue la electricidad por unas horas uno de los días y pudimos cocinar en la cocina de gas y aprovechar los juegos de mesa en familia. Hermoso lugar para unas vacaciones tranquilas y relajantes. Lugar privado con la playa al frente casi solo para nosotros, playa muy limpia. La atención de Luz María y Jefferson fue maravillosa. Luz María incluso nos ayudó a encontrar soporte para un evento que tuvimos con el carro. Volvería con gusto!

We spent a month in paradise! The place is perfect. The beach is huge, only beautiful sand and almost deserted! What about the sun vouchers? The kids loved boogie boarding in the waves and surfing. And we also spent a lot of time relaxing at the pool. Maria and Jefferson are so wonderful! They are very thoughtful, everything is always clean. We need them! Her meals are excellent! I recommend this place to anyone, and we hope to have the opportunity to return one day! Thank you very much ❤️

Nous avons passé un mois au paradis! L’endroit est parfait. La plage est immense, que du beau sable et presque déserte! Que dire des vouchers de soleil! Les enfants ont adoré faire du boogie board dans les vague et du surf. Et on a aussi passé beaucoup de temps relax à la piscine. Maria et Jefferson sont tellement merveilleux! Ils sont très attentionné, tout est toujours propre. Ils vont nous manqués! Ses repas sont excellent! Je recommande cet endroit à tous, et on espère avoir la chance d’y retourner un jour! Merci beaucoup ❤️

All our group really enjoyed this place.  They have thought about almost everything.  There are extra towels, well stocked kitchen, boogie boards to use, books and  even a chess game.  The pool was great and we loved sitting up in the upstairs lookout in the front yard. (I forget what they call those, palapa, I think) Anyway, the caretakers are nice and welcoming and Jay communicated well.  We would definitely stay again.  Can’t beat having the beach practically to yourself.

Luz(spelling?), the caretaker, was amazing. Her upkeep of the house and property was impressive. The check in instructions listed were lacking. Host will greet you- the sign for the properties was helpful, but I had no idea where to park or go, as I could see both houses on the end had clear parking spots; we had the center house. After lots of traveling and bumps along the way I found that frustrating. Make a left at the sign and Luz is the place on the left, which can’t be seen from the road. Access to beach was the best I saw along the drive in, which is an unpacked road; construction was visibly moving towards the access road so maybe it will get paved. It would almost be better if it wasn’t because although it adds time, it also adds to the remoteness. Boogie boards and lots of towels. Flat beach gray for walking-went to where the river meets the ocean which was beautiful. Doors to house were not aligned great or size was off so there were visible gaps.

A most beautiful location. A 25 minute drive down a dirt road brings you to the villa with a fabulous view of the beach. The caretaker Rose Maria and her son are fabulous and provide lots of help during the stay. The house itself is incredibly comfortable. Just as listed. This was the best part of our stay in Costa Rica.

Loved our stay here. Beautiful beach just a few steps out the front door. Enjoyed sitting on the palapa and watching the waves. Cannot wait to return.

This is house was such a blessing.  We took 2 of our boys (9 &15) along with my in-laws and had a great time.  Accessibility was perfect for those who can’t walk real far and the thatched roof look out bungalow was a perfect place to relax, watch the beach, the boys play or the sunset.  Luz, the caretaker, went above and beyond her duties by cleaning each day, making the beds and just having a listening ear of our needs.  There were plenty of birds to enjoy watching and fishing boats going by just to keep our attention.  The house is simple but fits the description perfectly.  We were blessed to have friendly neighbors at the 2 houses also owned by Jay on either side.  The pool was very refreshing and in the shade in the afternoon which gave us a break from the hot afternoon sun.  Jay was very helpful leading up to our stay by answering all of our questions quickly and keeping us on track.  We will definitely check this place out again when the time comes for another beach stay in CR.

Jay was great. Super communicative and friendly. The place exceeded our expectations. Pristine, private beach and we felt so comfortable in the house. Luz and her sons were so amazing and helpful. We can’t wait to visit again.

We've stayed here several times and I HIGHLY recommend. The rooms are huge, full kitchen was great for cooking meals (and heating up leftovers!) Being able to walk about 50 feet to a stunning beach was priceless, and the sunsets!! OMG! Every night was different and breathtaking! The caretaker Luz is above and beyond and we felt like family. I cannot say enough good things about this hidden gem!

We absolutely love this place and it was our second time staying here this year. The location is remote but the views are amazing. You basically have the beach to yourself! Luz Maria and her family truly make this place incredible, though. They answered every question and really went above and beyond. Have her make some meals! They’re fantastic! Houses are clean and include what you need. Some little things need repair (I mean, you’re in remote Costa Rica…it’s not The Ritz) but otherwise this place is perfect and the beach one of my favorites in the world.

Idyllic beach retreat. Owner is responsive and helpful. Onsite caretaker, Luz, is amazing! She makes this place special and goes out of her way to assist. Although the house is a bit off the main drag and a high clearance vehicle came in handy after a big rain, it is worth it! We seemed to have miles of beach to ourselves, perfect for wave jumping and boogie boarding. There are waves, so maybe less ideal for very young children, but it was perfect for our boys, ages 7, 9, and 11. Beautiful sunsets! Just under an hour to Manuel Antonio National Park. 10 minutes to town/restaurants. Beautiful grounds to explore. We would happily return!

This property is perfect for the ultimate beachfront stay in Costa Rica. Very spacious and super clean! The bedrooms are huge, the full kitchen is perfect for whatever your needs are, and a large Living Room! The pool and waterfall are great for a relaxing afternoon dip! The property is beautiful and the beach is private and wonderful! You can see dolphins and Ray's jumping in the waves from the front porch! We had such a great stay, the care taker helps with every need you can imagine!

Staying at Playa Nido was a great way to spend the second half of our family's vacation in Costa Rica. The house was spacious, well-equipped, and clean. A few short steps to the beach, beautiful views from the palapa, plenty of wildlife, and a quaint and comfortable pool out back made our stay relaxing and comfrotable. Luz Marie was a great caretaker, never ceasing to work hard keeping the houses and grounds clean with the help of her son. This is a great stay that's fairly remote. Stock up on groceries and necessities in Parrita, park yourself at Playa Nido, and enjoy the good life!

The atmosphere and attention of the cleaning lady is the best, but the place does not have the right maintenance, the pool has inside where to sit and underneath it does not fit more mushrooms because there is no way, I asked that if I could bring my pet and they told me that they were prohibited, however I had to have several dogs inside the house throughout my stay, that is, I took care of other dogs and not mine, when I made the claim they indicated that they are from the property, pure inconsistency, I hope they repair the pool since those mushrooms cause illness.

El ambiente y la atención de la Sra que limpia son lo mejor, pero el lugar no tiene el mantenimiento correcto, la piscina tiene dentro donde sentarse y debajo no le caben más hongos porque no hay como, pregunté que si podía llevar mi mascota y me indicaron que estaban prohibidas, sin embargo me tocó tener varios perros dentro de la casa toda mi estadía, ósea atendí otros perros y no el mío, cuando hice el reclamo indicaron que son de la propiedad, pura incongruencia, ojalá reparen lo de la piscina ya que esos hongos causan enfermedades.

This place cannot be beat! The hostess, Luz made this Airbnb such a gem.  We highly recommend having her cook for you and take you on the monkey tour.  After a busy schedule in the Aernal area, the “private” beach  and remote location were just what we needed.   Cannot recommend it enough.  It is definitely not a luxury stay, however the local Costa Rican feel truly gives you a once in a lifetime experience.

this place was incredible.  my husband is Costa Rican and we scoped out Palo Seco a couple ago, as we had not heard much about it.  the area is just beautiful, and you get basically a deserted beach lined with palm trees. no high rises, no crowds. you feel like you are on a movie set.  the house itself is very comfortable with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and a/c in the living area and all three bedrooms.  the beds were comfortable.  our family of 4 rented the white House, my mom and stepdad were in the yellow, and my sister's family was in the pink house.  the kids spent most of their time in the pool.  the adults spent a lot of time in the tree houses in the front of the properties, enjoying the view and breeze of the sea.  the only thing holding us back from booking sooner was hearing that the ocean is dangerous here.  that may be true, but we were told if we swim when the tide is coming in or just starting to go out, that's the best choice.  we all swam in the ocean, kids 7-14, and we all felt safe.  of course, you must be alert about these things, but we had no problems.  body boarding here was a dream with the constant flow of waves. now I'll talk about the care taker, Luz María, who lives in a house on property.  she is an absolute gem.  she cleaned every day, cooked for us (get a menu from her), and as problems arose with the a/c or literally anything else, she would fix them.  it felt like true luxury.  our while family had a wonderful time here, and i would book again without hesitation!

Spectacular and private place to enjoy as a family.

Lugar espectacular y privado, para disfrutar en familia.

Great place for a chill and relax time. Beautiful area. If isolation and chilling is what you are after which I was, this is the perfect place for that. We would definitely come back happily. This is not in your more touristy areas, so make sure you bring plenty of groceries. You also only have one restaurant near by. Being a few steps from the beach was great. The caretaker was awesome. Very sweet lady and very helpful.

The house and property were just as depicted in the photos. Having an incredible beach directly across the street was so convenient. We loved Costa Rica.

A show. The cottages are beautiful. Super comfortable. 3 large and comfortable rooms. Equipped kitchen. Living room. Good ventilation. Air conditioning in rooms and living room. Delightful and beautiful pool. Beach in front. La Comlda de Doưa Luz, a wonder! I wouldn't change anything!!!

Un espectáculo. Las casitas una belleza. Súper cómodas. 3 cuartos grandes y cómodos. Cocina equipada. Sala. Buena ventilación. Aire acondicionado en cuartos y sala. Piscina deliciosa y bonita. Playa en frente. La Comlda de DoÑa Luz, una maravilla! No cambiaria nada!!!

This home is situated on beautiful beach that oozes rustic relaxation, pura vida at its core.  The tikis are amazing and the pool, while modest was well kept and really nice for a dip. The long bumpy road to the house makes travel tiring, although ironically is also part of the charm. The caretakers are incredibly welcoming, available, charming and helpful with any questions. If your looking for an out of the way modest beach front home, it’s the place for you. You may just want to bring food, milk etc. because the closest store is quite a distance.

When we booked this trip we expected to spend some time swimming in the pool, playing around in the ocean and just relaxing. We had no idea how achingly beautiful the setting would be (photos cannot capture it), or how important the wonderful caretakers of this special property would be to making sure we enjoyed every moment. Do not miss the opportunity to explore the estuary with Luz and Luis, admiring the mangroves and visiting with the monkeys! Make sure to enjoy Luz’s delicious and nourishing home-cooked meals (with a few hours’ notice, she cooked for us three times). We even experienced a bit of the wildness of life on a peninsula during the green season, and the morning after the storm Luz and Luis were right there, tending to the house and making sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. We can’t recommend this stay strongly enough. It’s more than a pretty spot to relax, it is a breathtaking experience your family will never forget.

This place is located on a BEAUTIFUL beach front property and had a stunning private beach!! Getting there was... extremely difficult because it is about 30-40 minutes from even the nearest town down a sketchy road. But the place has the cutest cabana and private pool and again, stunning beach access. Just give yourself an EXTRA 2+ hours to find it the first time.

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The location is jaw dropping and right on a beautiful and very quiet beach. It is somewhat remote yet not far from Manuel Antonio Park and many other activities. We can’t say enough good things about our stay and will definitely be back.

Place is great! Its section of the beach is a little more remote which gives you great privacy and tranquility. We were there on a holiday weekend, when most beaches would be packed, and we were virtually the only ones at our beach (along with other guests). The pool was great too and was shared with the other two houses on the property, but it worked out pretty naturally and we ended up never being in the pool when other quests were there. Beautiful views from the porch and elevated lookout perch. On-site staff was super friendly and helpful, which made check-in/check-out, and all trip questions very easy. Ms. Luz Maria was especially kind and helpful in finding local fresh fish.

This place was incredible. Homely, clean and a one-of-a-kind location.

Lovely place! Lovely people! I recommend it to anyone who appreciates privacy, comfort and beauty!

Прекрасное место! Прекрасные люди! Рекомендую всем кто ценит уединение, комфорт и красоту!

An excellent place to rest and the employees are very attentive

Un excelente lugar de descanso y los empleados muy atentos

Went with a family of 4 from Hungary, and luckily we found this amazing little hidden paradise, with beautiful tico style casitas, pool and garden surrounded with spectacular, miles long beach, and river just right on the sides of the property. Lupita and Mauricio were super helpful caretaker, more like a friend to us, couldn't wish for better. They were very helpful with everything. We tried Lupita's food, was an 'Ohh my God' delicious dish. Don't miss it! We also went for a sunset mangrove boat tour with them, what was unforgettable. We highly recommend to stay in Playa Nido. We definitely will return.
