Relaxing Super Clean Get-A Way with Wide Ocean Views Over Best Conchal Beach

Casa del Gecko is our two bedroom, two bathroom condo located on a hillside overlooking Playa Conchal, voted best beach in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This top floor accomodation has been recently updated, is super clean and offers awesome panoramic views of the ocean, beach and jungle from the full length balcony that stretches across the living area and the master bedroom. The location provides our guests a relaxing environment in this layed back no hustle bustle area of Guanacaste.
We offer discounted rates for stays of 7 nights or more and an additional discount for 28 nights or more!
Just enter the dates of your planned stay and the price will automatically adjust including the discount.
Once your reservation is made, we will send you a packet of information about the condo, driving directions, details about our property manager, local beaches, restaurant recommendations, things to do in the area, do's and don'ts regarding car rental in Costa Rica, things to do and what not to do, etc. Many of our guests have said this information is very valuable especially for first time travelers to Costa Rica.

Our small condo community is two buildings, 18 total units with private parking and 24 hour security. A community pool is on site and most of the time you will have it to yourselves. We are less than a 1 hour drive from Liberia airport (LIR). Our English speaking property manager will meet you, get you settled in and can offer any assistance you require for tourist activities that may interest you.

Casa del Gecko has a full length shaded balcony separated from the living area and master bedroom by wall to wall sliding glass doors. The balcony is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or tea, eat lunch or dinner and watch the birds. In the evening watch the glistening stars and lights of Flamingo across the bay. Includes comfortable deck chairs and tables for the balcony. The master bedroom has a king size bed and an on- suite bathroom with large tiled shower. The guest bedroom has two twin beds and is adjacent to a full size guest bathroom with shower. The fully equipped kitchen includes granite countertops, side by side refrigerator with ice maker, flat surface stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender, pots and pans, utensils, etc. There is also a nice assortment of spices, cooking oils, etc for those who want to cook meals. A full size washer and dryer is included. Central air conditioning and ceiling fans keep the condo comfortable. A wall safe is available to store your valuables. Internet access is available as well as a flat screen TV with a large selection of videos. Sorry, no cable TV, but don't worry, you won't want to watch TV when at Casa del Gecko!
An outdoor communal grill is also available on the common area at ground level.
Adjacent to the property is a nice restaurant and bar with daily specials, awesome views of the ocean and the pool.
Access to Playa Conchal is only a ten minute walk where you will find crystal clear water and a quiet white sand beach or you can continue to walk to the north end of the beach where you can swim, snorkel, soak up the sun and be treated to food and drink by the beachside vendors. In addition, there are several other beautiful beaches within walking or short driving distance. Pirates beach is a short drive from the condo where Daniel serves cold beverages and freshly grilled shrimp on the beach and where you can enjoy a gorgeous sunset. Brasilito is the nearest beach side community with restaurants, bars and basic shopping. Playa Minas is a quiet and secluded beach for swimming, relaxing and turtle watching during the evenings and is an easy walk from the condo. Often times this beach has less than 10 people on it and somedays you can have it all to yourselves. Playa Grande is one of the single longest beaches in Costa Rica with beach side restaurants and great surfing just a short drive from the condo. Playa Grande is also home to the giant Leatherback turtles that nest here each year. One of our favorite beaches is Playa Penca in Petrero (a little hard to find, but the locals will direct you). If clean sand beaches are not your style, there is the private pool located on the property that also offers fabulous views of the ocean and countryside.

Brasilito is a fishing village with restaurants and shopping a short distance from the condo. Flamingo Beach with additional shops and restaurants is just north of Brasilito.
If you are looking for more excitement, Tamarindo is your place. It is a prime spot for surfing, sport fishing, shopping, dining and night life.

With pristine beaches and stunning natural beauty, Cost Rica offers many adventures and activities including secluded beaches, hiking, ziplining, hot springs, surfing, paddle boarding, diving, river rafting, fishing and wonderful National Parks. Day trips and fishing excursions can easily be arranged on site by our property manager.

Options are almost endless and perfect for those who like a more active vacation or want to split their time between laid-back and all-out.

Beach bumming one day and a thrilling adventure the next, perfect for couples who love both or where one wants to relax and the other is more active.

Bird watchers will delight in the having the chance to spot some of the more than 400 species on birds in Cost Rica.

Cost Rica is also home to the nesting beaches of five of the world's seven species of marine turtles!

Adults and kids welcome, no pets or smoking allowed please.

Beautiful space steps from the beach
Lovely property clean and very close to a nice beach you can walk to. You definitely need a car for this area and if you have one it’s great. I did not, so the location was very difficult to get to and from via Uber or taxi because it’s in a pretty remote area including 4km of dirt road. Other than that the place was awesome! I had a bit of trouble when I first got there not realizing there were two buildings and which one was the correct building and unit, but the property manager was responsive and helpful when I reached out. Overall great stay!

Perfect spot!
We loved our stay in this unit. It was exactly as described, surrounded by wildlife, featured a perfect ocean view, and allowed us to enjoy quiet evenings after exploring Conchal Beach, Playa Flamingo, and Playa Grande during the days. We even did a day-trip to Nosara! Thank you for having us!

Affordable Paradise!
Our best stay during our 16 day visit to Costa Rica! Comfortable, well-appointed condo with a serene balcony view of Playa Conchal. We went to 3 different beaches in the immediate area and enjoyed them all. We had most of our meals at the on-site restaurant. This condo is located in a quiet area away from the hub-bub of the Tamarindo area.

Quiet and relaxing
This condo had everything we needed and more. The owners were a delight to deal with providing very detailed package information as did the property manager. We were able to get a car rental referral name from the condo owner as well which was also exceptional service. We so enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation. Thanks again!! Cara Manitoba Canada

We had a nice stay at Jerry and Sue’s place. There are some nice beaches within a very short driving distance and they had tons of great recommendations for places to visit and eat nearby. Very nice views from the balcony as well!

Hosts are great! Property is well stocked and makes things easy to cook at the place. The dishwashing machine wasn’t working while we were there and the water had an issue so we had to drink from bottles but the hosts were super nice and provided us with loads of drinking water bottles. Thanks for a great stay

Casa del Gecko is perfect
We loved our stay in Casa Del Gecko. Perfect for our family of four. Clean, comfortable, and close to the best beach in Guanacaste. Also not too close but close enough to the bustling surf town of Tamarindo. We will be back

The condo was beautiful with amazing views. The property manager was easy to contact when needed. The staff on the grounds are beyond kind, especially at the on-site restaurant (the truly became friends). The beaches are super close and accessible. It was the perfect vacation.

Beach getaway Dec. 26-Jan. 2
Good Condo! There were a few quirky things. Wifi was spotty! If you want to watch a movie via netflix it is painfully slow. We walked to 2 of the beaches. Concahl was about a 10-15 min walk on the very busy dirt road. Pirates bay beach was a bit further, 40ish min walk down a very busy dirt road

Little Gecko, big value
They say good things are hard to find, and in this case it’s true. The road to Casa Del Gecko is a bit of the long and winding road type and the first indication of an entrance to Condor Heights is comically a non-working entrance that has no road behind the grand gate and huge sign. After finding the second and real entrance around the corner, you are led onto the grounds and up a rather harrowing path up the hill to the unit’s parking lot. Once there, the building and unit is quite nice and substantially built. The unit was ideal for our family of four with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The furnishings were quality pieces and all were very tasteful. Howler monkeys off in the distance can wake you in the morning and invite you to partake of the amazing views off the balcony of the master bedroom or the living room. Views from the on-site restaurant and pool also beckon as they entice you to explore the beaches in the not too distant area below. Even the fully equipped kitchen has a great view in the other direction while preparing or cleaning up after meals. There is plenty of seating between the round dining table (4), the kitchen counter (3), the two couches (5), the settee (3) and the two small patio tables with chairs (6). All in all, we had a great time here and the unit served all of our needs spectacularly. It was spotless as we arrived and the AC worked flawlessly. Your only challenge might be to find the current very tiny resident Gecko that wanders around the unit. He’s cute.
