The studio was stylish and very clean, and just as it appears in the pictures. Digna and Omar are lovely unobtrusive caretakers. The views and steps-to-the-beach access are unmatched. We arrived, parked our car behind the pretty white gate in the yard, and we didn’t move it for 4days. We could get everything we wanted just a few blocks away: casual delicious cafes, fruit stand, market. It was heaven.

Stunning, breathtaking, one of a kind! Literally steps from the water at high tide and a couple of more steps at low tide. The "road" separating the private patio from the sand is just part of the beach people drive on. The room was utterly sand free and clean when we arrived (I have no clue how they got this place so clean). A warm welcome to grab the keys and help us park (after dark) was super after a LONG day of travel. Great communication. High ceilings, essential cooking items & the closest you can possibly be to the ocean!All photos included were taken from the private patio.

The property was delightful and our late arrival still was warmly welco ed by the manager and her husband. We felt safe to walk the beach and surrounding streets which have some great little eating places. This place was the perfect end to our stay in Costa Rica.

Wow. Never had a harder time leaving somewhere. Never been closer to the beach - and felt it was our own personal beach. Soft sand, waves crashing, and never saw more than a dozen people - hidden gem! Digna / Omar were fantastic, communication was on point, and very hospitable. Location seemed a bit sketchy driving through but learned was not an issue and super safe. Isolated enough to be quiet, 10 mins from shops, cafes, restaurants, 40 to Tamarindo.Hidden gem! Cant wait to stay here again!

Amazing stay!

This property was beautiful. Close enough to walk to things but far enough away to feel secluded. Loved waking up and sitting on the beach drinking coffee. Hammocks during the afternoon thunderstorms were fun. This was an incredible space for our anniversary/birthday trip.

Absolutely Epic

The pictures of this place don’t do it justice at all, not to mention the hospitality. As far as I’m concerned, we won’t stay anywhere else next time we are in CR on this side of the country. Hands down the best place to stay on a beach in the world.
