Bamboo walls, open to the air, and electricity from the house's own solar panels. An off-road vehicle is needed all year, and the plunge pool is shared with the neighboring homes.
The space
Welcome to the jungle at this absolutely luscious tropical hideaway offering a secluded, verdant setting just steps from one of Costa Rica’s best surfing beaches. This fully open-air paradise offers complete immersion in your surroundings, from the sound of birds each morning to tree frogs chirping each night. This home produces its own electricity from solar-powered panels and stores excess power in batteries located at the home.
Wake up each morning with the sunrise and sea breeze blowing through the bamboo walls, then walk a few steps down to the beach for a quick dip in the ocean. When you return, draw a bath in the gorgeous soaking tub and relax with the jungle as your backdrop.
When you get hungry, the well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to whip up a full meal or just some snacks, and there’s room to eat around the kitchen island. Spend the day hiking, surfing, lounging on the beach, having a dip in the property’s plunge pool, or just reading a book on the sofa. Keep dinner simple on the carbon grill, then choose from either bedroom sanctuary when you get sleepy - another day in paradise starts tomorrow.

Add datesGreat stay!! Very comfortable airbnb and also accessible to many places around Costa Rica. Ana was attentive to our messages and provided clear instructions to access the Airbnb, and to check out from it. I also enjoyed the beach club that’s part of the gated community, which is also less than a 10min walk.

I loved it. The place was just as described and shown in the photos. We enjoyed it very much. The pool area is beautiful, and they were flexible with the check-in and check-out times, which was really helpful since we were traveling with our baby. We are very grateful for the attention.
