About this property

Sunset House - Private Pool - Gorgeous Views - Super Summer Deals

We have lowered prices to help you enjoy your stay in our beautiful home. Also, if possible, we'll let you check in at noon rather than 4pm so you can have a full day when you arrive. Early check-in requires no rental the night prior to your day of arrival.
We call our place the 'Sunset House' because the sunsets from the master bedroom balcony are spectacular. You will want to reserve a time every evening to enjoy the fabulous glow. For the money, you won't find a better place!
One note, we have a custom home in a residential area of all custom homes and people live there full time. Please respect our friends. Extra loud music and big parties are not allowed.

We have recently updated many amenities in the house. We are not in downtown Playa Coco, but in Altos de Cacique on a cliff overlooking the town and Coco Bay. No worries about noise or mosquitos. Our private development is between Coco and Playa Hermosa.

We are certain you won't find a better value anywhere. We have a quality 2200 sq ft house with prices better than local quality hotels. Depending on the season, we may discount 8% for stays longer than 7 days, 10% for 15 days or more, and 15% - 20% for stays longer than 30 days.

Why should you stay with us?

1A) Our prices are the best of any place for what we have to offer. Our beautiful 3-bdrm 2 bath spacious home will satisfy most any traveler. We have a private pool.

1) Clear, magnificent, close unobstructed view of the mountains and ocean from a spacious patio, the pool, the master bedroom balcony/bed, one of the downstairs bedrooms, and a peek from the living area.

2) Short ride by car to 3 beautiful beaches

3) Large spacious home (2200sf) with a beautiful infinity pool. All granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and beautiful showers.

4) Management that has lived there for 20+ years and speaks English and Spanish fluently. He can assist you in whatever you wish to do

5) Our secure location in Los Altos de Cacique is excellent. Every home is custom. Great restaurants are 5 minutes by car away.

6) 45 Minutes from excellent surfing in Tamarindo or a 2 hour boat ride to Witch's Rock for truly world class surfing. A zipline is only 25 minutes from the house. A beautiful waterfall/swimming area is about 35 minutes.

7) We are 5 minutes by car between nightlife, good shopping, and good restaurants in Playa del Coco and a beautiful "Blue Star" beach and elegant restaurants in Playa Hermosa.

8) A great blend of 1st and 3rd world cultures


We look forward to having you as our guest.

Beautiful view

The infinity pool is the star of this house! It has a gorgeous view and gets sun most of the day. The water temp was perfect. The patio has a table to enjoy the view with your meals and chairs to just relax when you're not in the pool. It's close to both playa hermosa and playas del coco.

Sunset House was everything we expected!

Everything from booking to staying to leaving was perfect. Francisco the property manager was extremely accommodating from giving us all the info to get there to setting up our airport shuttle to and from to meeting us when we arrived and helped us very much as we were leaving. The one comment my wife had was the somewhat dated master bedroom bed but we still slept on it perfectly comfortable. Thank you Francisco and owners!!

Beautiful and comfortable home -- even during a tropical storm!

The house was spacious, well-maintained, and beautifully designed. It had three large bedrooms and a large yard making it perfect for a group or family. The living areas were open-plan, with large glass windows that allowed the natural light to flood in. Despite the fact that we were there during Tropical Storm Sara and saw very little sunshine – the house was clean and comfortable, offering a peaceful retreat from the storm. The location was ideal, with stunning views of the ocean and lush hills in the distance and within a short drive to all the amenities we needed: grocery stores, restaurants, and a lovely local beach. The property was also fully stocked with beach towels and snorkling gear.

Wonderful stay in Coco

Wonderful view and pool, the ice maker in the fridge was a great bonus! Francisco was great to deal with made sure we had everything we needed. The outdoor furniture could be upgraded as well as master bed mattress. Definitely need a vehicle, property is close to Coco Beach but up a very steep hill. Views were amazing and overall a great stay.

Such a lovely view!

This was a great location between Coco and Hermosa and the view really is amazing. The process was smooth, organized and Bernie was helpful and responsive. The house was comfortable and had the basics we needed. Very quiet spot if you are looking to relax and easy to get to all the fun stuff in the area.

Amazing view!!

The house was great, a little echo-y so if you're hard if hearing it's hard to hear 😁 beware of the time of year you are visiting, we stayed the end of March and the mountains were very dry and controlled burning was going on so the sky always had a haze of smoke. The pool was wonderful, neighbors nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful views

Nice house with wonderful views from several ares on the property and a great pool. The kitchen was good for cooking. It was clean and it was great for relaxing. The kitchen has a sliding glass door with no covering and that might bother some people. Communication was great. The only issue we had was that the listening mistakenly said it was a 3 min walk to Coco Beach and it would have been at least 15 mins on a very steep, no sidewalks,

Amazing Location

The views from this house were spectacular! My kids loved swimming while watching the sunset and underneath the stars. We got to see crazy storms roll by and enjoyed the small town of Coco and it’s nearby beaches. Definitely don’t be afraid to drive down some back roads to find smaller or more secluded beaches- we got to some that were just beautiful! The house itself could use some updates. Small kitchen appliances were out of date or slightly damaged. New outdoor cushions that are not torn or don’t fit the chairs would go a long way to help this space feel more put together/inviting. Over all, this house was great AND a few maintenance touches would help tremendously.

Sunset House

Great location, have stayed in same neighborhood previously. We had a slight mix up with the entrance code but resolved it on our own, #'s were reversed for the key box entrance. Ants were everywhere upon entrance. Dead & alive crawling up & down walls. In the floor around windows. Baths & bedrooms were clean but beds are sub standard. You should.consider replacing with Foundations & new mattress. Weeds in back yard along with hose & old lounge chair. I moved the hose & chair, they were unsightly. Weather & view were lovely. Sorry but i expected a little better because i know the neighborhood.

Gorgeous views!

Had a wonderful time staying at the Sunset House in Coco. Views, views, and more views! The backyard pool and views were amazing. Daytime views of the ocean were unbelievable but the sunset views are breathtaking. Close to town but far enough to not get too crowded. Bernie is so helpful with EVERYTHING! The house layout is perfect for the master on the 2nd level and the kids in the downstairs bedrooms. The open kitchen to family room with high ceilings was fantastic. The only issues we had was with the hot water. The shower knobs need replacing as it was difficult to get the knob to hot water because they are old and breaking. Bernie was VERY helpful and came immediately to fix everything and make sure we were happy. Overall, the house was beautiful, the customer service was excellent from Bernie, and our family had a wonderful time with memories to last a lifetime!

Falling apart

This property is in need of great repair. The owner and manager are super nice, however this house is literally falling apart. This house has the ability in my mind to be an amazing 5* hands down. Unfortunately it has been let go, all blinds are broken, many if not all of outside lights do not work, inside of house is rundown, quite dirty, there is an extremely bad odor of what we think is sewer gas on the second floor master bedroom, ( you need to leave bathroom window open) Pool does not work properly. We also did not like the fact that the manager let himself in one day while we were gone. (considering that we were always in contact with email) even if he was checking the place, should have let us know first. Personally, this could be an amazing property, but it is not, it is like they just gave up on it.

Wonderful!!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Sunset House. The property itself it beautiful. Every day we enjoyed spending time in the swimming pool (with Michael the lizard keeping a watchful, if wary eye on us). The view from the house is absolutely spectacular and we loved how open and spacious the home is. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare dinners in, and we made great use of the fantastic outdoor grill. Mornings spent drinking coffee on the balcony outside of the master bedroom became a treasured ritual, and we have so many photographs of the sunset which is -spectacular. I also managed to photograph a comet and the Southern Cross which is not something visible to those of us from the Northern Hemisphere. We had a great time visiting nearby beaches including Playa Ocotol, Playa Hermosa, Playa Panama and – of course, Playa Flamingo. (I do not recommend following the Waze shortcut to get to Playa Flamingo as it will have you crossing a creek!) We also visited Poza Los Coyotes which was magical! We also spent an afternoon beach hopping with Marcy (contact through website My Tan Feet) going to secluded, crystal water beaches that can only be reached by boat. Dining out we had great meals at Mar Azul and Numu Taproom and Bistro. Our favorite was Verde Salvia on Boulevard Playas del Coco. This chef-owned restaurant serves authentic Italian food by an Italian trained, Italian born chef. Our second time at the restaurant we managed to book the chef’s risotto tab

About the host

Hosted by Francisco Flores

Host profile image
My daughter took this photo of me surfing for the first time in Tamarindo. The greatest thing about visiting my place in Costa Rica is the feeling of serenity. Of course there's much to do. At the same time, after a short period, one feels the tranquility of the country. I promise, it's hard to leave after just a week or so.
Enjoy. :)
PS - when looking at the map, we are located on HWY 159 past the right angle turn on the first road to the left.

Why they chose this property

It was a bit of good fortune. A friend recommended the area and when visiting we were directed to the 'private' beaches that are part of Los Altos de Cacique. The water was so clear and warm with abundant fish that we decided, on the spot, to buy a house we had found in the development that was 60% completed. It took a bit of doing but we are extremely happy with how things turned out.

What makes this property unique

Located conveniently between Playa Coco and Playa Hermosa. Private high end development with all custom homes.
