Location!
Stayed here to be near family that stayed just up the road. Loved this location that had its own little tropical oasis right on the beach! Clean and comfortable.

Really is Right on the Beach!
Location, location, location! 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!

Very Nice Spot
No problems. Right on the beach and yard/patio is essentially private due to separation from the neighbors on both sides with high flowering shrubbery. Beach not crowded even on weekends. Could use a new toaster

Hidden Gem
On our way in we were concerned due to traffic and narrow roads. Once we arrived, the host greeted us and welcome us. It was a perfect little gem. Location was amazing. Lots of shade, backyard BEACH, and pool. My husband and I truly enjoyed the place. Host had everything, pots, plates, cups. Thank you Denise and Hernan! Hopefully we see you again real soon!

Little piece of paradise ✨️ Best location steps to ocean on a beautiful, tranquil beach ⛱️ Outdoor space was beautiful with little dipping pool and gorgeous plants and flowers. Denese and Hernan are the Hosts with the Mosts! 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

Great hosts. Great location.
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.

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.
