About this property

Casa Tres Pochotes - Beach Front Paradise

This fantastic property is one of the few true beachfront homes available in Esterillos Oeste. Designed for couples, groups, or families, it offers ample space to gather, entertain, and enjoy cozy afternoons in the spacious living room. The expansive patio and deck with a private pool look directly onto Esterillos Oeste Beach, just steps from the front of the home. With four bathrooms and three bedrooms, all located on the second floor, each room opens to its own balcony overlooking the ocean.
The space
The spacious deck offers a relaxing plunge perfect for cooling off after an afternoon of surfing, shelling, or just walking on the spectacular beach. This beach is perfect for a variety of activities, whether you want to pick up new hobbies or master the ones you already love, it offers world class surfing, boogie boarding, and swimming.
You can literally walk for miles in either direction along the beach and enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The west end of the village features a unique lava reef, that emerges at low tide forming natural pools and showcasing the famous mermaid statue. The east side gives the town its name, thanks to the estuary, which is also an excellent spot for fishing.

Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements
Tres Pochotes offers 3 bedrooms and four bathrooms:

First Floor:

Bathroom 1

Second Floor:

Bedroom 1, 2 & 3: Each includes a comfortable king bed, a balcony, and a small closet.
One of the rooms also includes a safety deposit box.

Bathroom 2, 3 & 4

Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The third bathroom is across the hall from the middle bedroom. There is also a full bathroom downstairs. There is an outdoor shower where you can rinse off the sand when you come back from surfing or playing on the beach. It's refreshing.

We also offer a laundry room.

Tres Pochotes is not just a house, it’s a cozy paradise for nature lovers. The property is frequently visited by scarlet macaws and occasionally by capuchin monkeys or even sloths. This is a great spot if you want to connect with Costa Rica’s rich natural beauty.

House is clean, well-maintained, fully equipped, and right on the beach. Esterillos Oeste is a nice beach village with several restaurants and a nice grocery store. We don’t surf but the local surf break appears to be right out front and the tide pools are a short walk. The outdoor shower was great to rinse off with after a day at the beach and the pool was perfect for our boys to play in. The host was extremely responsive with all of our questions. We had an amazing time with our 4 boys and really couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great beach house!

We really enjoyed our stay at the beach house. The location was excellent and couldn’t be any closer to the beach. The house is also close to Jaco and other towns with many restaurants nearby. We enjoyed seeing and hearing the parrots fly by in the mornings!

Perfect Spot by the Beach and Local Sodas

The house was perfect and was very welcoming and had all the necessities needed. The rooms are located on the second floor with a balcony which allowed you to see the sunrise and sunset as well as watch the local fishermen coming in and count with their catches for sale. The dark sand and warm water was welcoming with a lot of wildlife to see and enjoy. The people are very friendly and patient with tourists and all the food was amazing. Perfect location close enough to still enjoy Manuel Antonio and Quepos as well, we definitely will be back!

I am not sure I can say enough good things about the property? The listing is very accurate. It is a gorgeous home located in a very nice, quiet location. The beach is steps away and the scenery is beautiful. Of all of the places I have stayed and visited, this one is at the top of the list. There are food options within walking distance, markets very close by and more activities than you can do!With all of the above stated, the service the team provided was the best I have ever received! They assisted me in planning every aspect of the trip. Not only did they provide a list of suggestions, they also helped get reservations and iron out details. I have never had service at this level and for this reason, will return to CR and stay with them again.

Stately, yellow house by the beach

We enjoyed our stay in the stately yellow house by the beach. We appreciated the big water container made ready for our use upon arrival. We were impressed with all the built-ins and the sturdiness of the house. The ACs were efficient and each person could set their optimum temperatures in their bedroom. The beach and the water were wonderful. We highly recommend.

Paradise

Flocks of parrots, beach walk with monkeys and a coatis, — family friendly beach with fun waves to jump in that turns into a a fantastic surf extravaganza with the tide. Restaurants steps away, local grocer that carries nice veg selection and even tofu! Kitchen fully stocked - fun dipping pool to cool off or cannon ball over and over. The rustic charm of this place cannot be overstated. Make sure to get your colones on the way. The nearest exchange is at least 25 min drive. Some venders only take cash

Best Vaca Ever

We absolutely loved the location of this home on the beach. Keylor was especially helpful with all of our needs and excursions. Not far from waterfalls, monkey mangrove tour, and catamaran tour. We are wanting to go back during Xmas break. Definitely 5 stars for us!

The perfect spot.

I’ve stayed at the Casa Amarilla 3 different times now. One with couples. Another with my wife and kids for two full weeks and then this past week bringing my brothers and dad down for a surf trip. It’s always been perfect for us for every kind of adventure. We will be back soon! Be sure to visit my good friend Jorge at Aloha surf just around the corner! For dinner go to Don Toro and hopefully you score a good swell.

We loved our time at this beautiful beachfront home. The pool was perfect after walking and playing on the beach. We loved having Jorge, the lifeguard and surf instructor, there right in front of our house. Communication with Keylor was super helpful. We felt very happy, taken care of, and comfortable .

Perfect family beach house

This is the perfect beach house - my teen daughters and my folks (in their 70’s) all agree. Steps from the beach, comfortable beds, a well appointed kitchen, and ample space for relaxation inside and out - including a pool. The location is wonderful- just south of the party hub of Jaco and north of the crowded Manuel Antonio - yet plenty to do. Excellent local restaurants, surf lessons literally 30 yards away and a well stocked grocery store a block away. I could stay here for months and be completely content.

Beautiful home in a great location

Lovely home with all the essentials for a beach vacation! Safe, clean and well taken care of. Don’t miss the pizza at the Rancho Coral or dinner at Los Almendros! Store nearby has most things you need and Jaco isn’t far for more selection. Felipe, Ariel and Danny were super helpful and easy to reach for anything we needed. We look forward to returning soon! Thank you for sharing your home!

Great place and a great host!

The house was just as expected but Dave exceeded expectations. The place was clean, things operated well and it is beautifully situated on the beach. Dave was VERY flexible with our scheduling issues, arranged for fishing with a local fishermen and even gave me a ride to Jaco so I could unexpectedly pick up my rental car. Quaint town with a couple great places to eat. If we ever go back to this area of Costa Rica, this is the place we will stay!

A Part of the Community

WOW, I must say that this is undeniably one special place. It is here that one can find a healthy mix of expats, Ticos and surfers, all of who are blended together to make the community in the little town of Esterillos Oeste a great home away from home. Waking to nature's symphony of green parrots and waves each morning as well as being able to walk to the local market/restaurants deems the perfect getaway. In addition, the larger cities of Jaco and Parritta are only short drive away, allowing travelers to indulge in the best of both worlds… Our hosts Dave and Kate made us feel right at home! We are hoping to visit again next year!

House is perfectly located on a clean family friendly beach with fun waves out back. The house is clean and roomy with a clean and functional back yard including a pool. The pool is nice to cool down in after coming back from beach and or a surf. We were able to grill out on the new terrace on the side of the home which was perfect for a evening at the house. The three large bedrooms with each one having its own bathroom upstiars is optimal for families and or friends to stay in comfort and privacy. Overall the home is perfect for your costa rica vacation being clean, comfrotable, centrally located with nice restaraunts near by and a an amazing beach. I recommended it 10/10.

Return guests & still in love!

We can’t say enough about this property. This was our 2nd time staying here— last was 2yrs ago. I must say that Mirla, the property manager, has done a fantastic job with the property. Not too much has changed but the house seemed more organized. We were actually able to use the balcony this time— it was clean & less cluttered. We had an issue with one of the upstairs AC units and Mirla had someone to the house promptly to access & fix the problem. We were so thankful! Overall, you can’t find a better property in regards to location and centralization of everything you need in Esterillos Oeste. We have decided to make this a yearly destination spot to get away from the winter gloom of the Pacific Northwest. We love Esterillos Oeste, this home and the Pura Vida lifestyle!

Exactly what we wanted...

We cannot say enough about how much we loved our stay, only problem , wanted to stay longer. The house is excellently stocked , there was not one thing we didnot have! The area is awesome , private & beautiful , the locals are very friendly . Was able to buy fish right out of the boat from the neighbor fisherman.. Will definitely be back and recommend it to all age groups we even brought our little dog and she was very welcomed . Dave & Kate made everything so easy , met us at the local grocery , took us to the house & made sure everything worked and that we were comfortable . On the day we left Dave came to see us off and lock up so we didn't have to bother with all the security. The house was clean , safe and well furnished ... Thanks

Great Overall Experience

We spent 1 week at this home. We were looking for a place to stay which was away from the high traffic tourist areas and provided fun at the beach for teenagers. The home is beautiful and spacious and the location could not be better - steps from the beach and the balconies look over the shore. We spent most of our time at the beach boogie boarding which was a blast (rented from Aloha Surf down the street). Tried a bit of surfing but most of the time the water was too rough for beginners like us. Every room had AC which was important given some humid days, and the pool was a big plus which the kids really enjoyed. The local market (walking distance) is surprisingly well stocked but we did most of our shopping in nearby Jaco. We were definitely away from the crowds as often we would walk out to the beach to find we were the only ones there for as far as we could see. The small town has a very laid back atmosphere and getting to experience the local culture was a great part of our trip. The owner was very friendly and responsive to questions I had during booking. And, the property management group was very professional and responding quickly when I had a question or needed help. I did find that if we had too many appliances running the circuit breaker would trip, so I do recommend bringing a flashlight (which is good to have in CR in general). Overall, this was an ideal getaway for our family and I would highly recommend to others!

Costa Rica beach front house

Took 3.50 hours from San Jose airport to arrive at home due to traffic. Best part is house being right on the beach. However, the area is not very nice and there is a public campground sight right beside house which is very loud and noisy all night long. House is on public beach access where cars pull up in front of home facing the ocean. House was not clean at all - floors were dirty and our feet would be dirty again after taking showers. Ceilings fans, Walls, light switch plates, door knobs were dirty and thankfully I had plenty of Clorox wipes to wipe door knobs and switch plates. Ants crawling all over the pool deck, flys and mosquitoes in the house all the time due to no weather stripping around the doors. Shower heads all need to replaced as they only spray on jet stream. Very dark at night in the house, limited outlets for use and WiFi internet was only accessible in downstairs area. One TV located in den. All bedrooms need accessible Wi-Fi connection. One hairdryer for house. House needs a good cleaning and some maintenance. House keys were left for us due to arrival time. No one from management company bothered to follow up w me on Sunday or anytime we were there. All communication for any needs for house was done by me. Had to ask for toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, water and if there was housekeeping service at all. Disappointed in condition of home as it can be very nice w a little bit of maintenance.

About the host

Hosted by John Wade

Host profile image
We found this special place in 2001 and built Tres Pochotes three years later. Avid surfers and beach celebrants, we return to paradise from our home in Colorado as often as we can. At low tide, be sure to visit La Sirena, a majestic bronze sentinel just down the beach, jutting out of the Pacific and facing the exquisite horizon. We are excited for La sirena to be returned to her rightful spot after damaged by surf with subsequent repairs. Stay tuned!
The comfort and functionality of our house in a tropical beachfront setting with its responsive property management by Danny and Felipe make this a perfect and carefree vacation experience.
There are very few properties available that sit on a worldclass surfbreak such as Esterillos Oeste. The opportunity to watch the waves from the house and paddle out when the tide fills in, or when the wind backs off, is hard to beat. While other stellar breaks such as Boca Barranca, Hermosa and Bejuco are easy drives from the house, the ability to walk right out of your door into the lineup is priceless.

For non surfers, the birdwatching is spectacular from the decks and patio. The daily evening roosting of parrots in the trees on the property is always a special event. Chilling out in a hammock with a good book and long walks on vast stretches of beach at low tide are other simple activities that bring in the local vibe which is tranquilo.

What makes this property unique

Property managers, Danny and Felipe, are bilingual locals who live nearby They are available for any questions or assistance. They are happy to make any reservations for you including surf lessons, board rentals, zipline tours, horseback riding on the beach or to a waterfall, rappelling on a waterfall, river rafting, monkey mangrove tours, full day catamaran tours to Tortuga Island and more. They can also arrange for a masseuse to come to the house for a massage inside or on the patio, or even on the beach. They would be happy to arrange for a local chefs to come to the house to prepare a typical meal. Price depends on the menu and number of people.
