Located in a prime location of Costa Rica’s Pacific/Gold Coast, Playa Avellanas boasts world-class waves and relaxing shores that make for a surfer’s or beach goer’s heaven. As a tranquil alternative to nearby Tamarindo, Playa Avellanas provides the feeling of a true “Paradise on Earth”, offering peace and nature, but also benefiting from being very close to all the services and amenities of a lively beach town. \- 1 hour and 20 minutes away from Liberia International Airport in Liberia, Guanacaste \- 20 minutes away from Tamarindo and Langosta where you can find supermarkets, restaurants, bars, shops and pharmacies. \- Walking distance to excellent restaurants The best option for getting around in Avellanas is by car. Four-wheel drive is highly recommended in the rainy season. To access the beach, drive down to Lola’s and park in the dedicated parking area. Please be aware that in Costa Rica, you cannot flush toilet paper. Every toilet has a little trash can next to it. Please use the trash can for toilet paper to avoid unnecessary mess and hassle during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,195 square feet ## Similar properties ![Reception](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109670000/109669300/109669221/72cb4bbb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Surfo House Tamarindo - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning - Breakfast available 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=109669221&PinnedHotelID=109669221&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103180000/103176000/103175905/5fd56eb0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### EcoVillas las Melinas Tamarindo - Pool - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=103175905&PinnedHotelID=103175905&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103300000/103298700/103298629/0acdaa67.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mar Botánico - Avellanas Beach Hotel Veintisiete de Abril - Pool - Spa - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.0 Very good 1 review CA $216 CA $244 total includes taxes & fees Feb 22 - Feb 23 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=103298629&PinnedHotelID=103298629&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, white sand](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113760000/113755800/113755750/b0e6e595.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Suite 4 - Sloth Pool&Beach 3 BR Condo Brasilito - Pool - Washer - Parking included - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=113755750&PinnedHotelID=113755750&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121340000/121332200/121332154/99bb3bbe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stay & Surf in Style at The Point, Playa Avellanas Playa Avellanas - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-07&endDate=2026-03-08&selected=121332154&PinnedHotelID=121332154&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19010000/19008000/19007937/1af0ba3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Playa Avellanas Beach House with Exclusive Beach Access Playa Avellanas - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 282 reviews CA $308 CA $475 total includes taxes & fees Feb 22 - Feb 23 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=19007937&PinnedHotelID=19007937&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78750000/78743000/78742906/w1240h799x1y0-f3a745c0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2BR apartment in Playa Langosta, Guanacaste.
