The suite was very nice and clean and well equipped. We felt very safe in the gated community. Owners were friendly and helpful. Walking right out to incredible snorkeling was the best part of our trip. It’s important to know that it isn’t totally private. The owners live above be and have windows that looked right down on the pool and outdoor area when you’re outside. It wasn’t a problem, but something to be aware of. ##### Tracy L.

Lush private back yard with a patio jacuzzi just steps away from the beach with a breathtaking view of Santa Rosa National Park on the horizon. It offers a relaxing environment for strolls on the beach, watching the local wildlife (famous howler monkeys) showing their skills swinging from the treetops, sunbathing iguanas, and so much more to explore!

Apr 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Slice of Paradise I recently returned from this beautiful property, after my second two-week stay here. The location is outstanding, especially if you're looking for some peace and tranquility as I was. Beautiful garden steps from the ocean on a cute uncrowded beach. Clear water and rock pools to explore. There's not much to do here other than swim and relax on the beach, or the dipping pool, or the communal pool (just what I was looking for).I can't say enough about the Hosts, Denese and Hernan. They are the reason I came back to this property 2 years in a row. They literally go out of their way to make your comfortable and make your stay fantastic. From cutting an aloe vera plant in the garden for my sunburn, to making me tropical fruit drinks and travel to and from the airport, they really made a single female traveler feel safe, comfortable and welcome.I can't wait to go back there I loved it so much.

This rental is on a somewhat private beach just steps from the gate of the rental. Felt so safe on this beach even at night. Plenty of shade from trees on the beach. Denese even provided 2 beach chairs, 2 beach towels, and a small cooler...perfect! The interior is modest but very clean and cheerful with everything you need. The dipping pool was very nice. The only thing they could add would be mood lights around it. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone. It was a great deal and amazing! ##### Pannettey G.

The place is small (studio as advertised) and the accommodations limited. The terrace/patio area is surrounded by lush vegetation which attracts insects. Even with bug spray we were bitten by insects several times. Overall is an adequate property for short days. The plus is you are right on Ocotal beach, feet away from the sand and half hour from the airport. ##### Javier N. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie M.

They really go out of their way to make your stay an amazing one, providing you anything you can need, including help with transfers and other transportation needs. I was really happy to have met them as they made my stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Father Rooster is next door, it's a nice popular restaurant. The town of Coco is a 5-10 minute drive away for your shopping needs and has various restaurants. Overall I loved it and can't wait to go back 💖💞🇨🇷 Hasta Pronto ##### Carrie M.

Great hosts and location is awesome. Access to the beach right out of your backyard. Internet was reliable. Studio is basic and does need an upgrade and host said plans are in the works during downtime. Father Roosters is next door and good food if you want a night out. Coco Beach is about 10 mins by car. Shops have all the same stuff unfortunately. Water drinkable in the studio. Large shower. Small soaker pool on site and three other pools available for guests. Beach is clean and was not too busy which we appreciated. Good snorkelling. Small convenience store nearby but Supermarket in Coco is recommended for groceries. ##### Carl P.

What a perfect little hideaway in a beautiful place! Denese and Hernan are great! Great communication and full of good and useful information about the area and things to do. The place itself is lovely and very clean with all the things you need. We very much enjoyed our stay (wish it had been longer as there was still so much to explore). We have already recommended it to friends and hope to return if our travels ever bring us back to Costa Rica. Here are a few other things that might be helpful to others: GREAT snorkeling right from the beach! We saw cool stuff on both ends of the beach. Father Roosters has the best fish tacos ever and is a short, lovely beach walk away. Coco is within walking distance (it took us about 45 minutes). It was hot but a fun and interesting walk into town for coffee and breakfast. There are taxis available ($9) but we chose to walk there and taxi back. Easy to get to the airport (thank you Hernan!) We HIGHLY recommend this place- it was wonderful! ##### jessica L. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy S. Mar 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Little Piece of Paradise This apartment is located right on the ocean. There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the back yard/patio and yet it is very private. The apartment is quite roomy for 2 people and is well stocked. Denese, the host, was very thoughtful about leaving coffee and other staples we might need until we could get to the store. There were enough towels, including beach towels and beach chairs. Denese was very accessible and provided lots of good information about the apartment, complex and area. We enjoyed talking with her. Not only was the ocean right there but the apartment came with access to 3 swimming pools in the complex. The only downside, if it can be called a downside, was that there is only one restaurant within walking distance of the apartment. Others required a taxi into the town of Coco. This was outweighed by the quiet, beautiful beach away from the crowded party beaches. We were able to snorkel, walk the beach and relax. We hope to be back and would highly recommend this apartment. ##### Cindy S.
