About this property

Amazing right on the water, BEACHFRONT studio near Tamarindo

We offer a beautiful BEACHFRONT studio in Penca Beach, a magical, secret, small white sand beach only 25min from Tamarindo. This award-winning beach is recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

The studio is located in 1-acre beachfront property beautifully landscaped with palm and almond trees. Ocean breeze coming right up to the house, which is only 10feet away from the beach. Large sliding doors connect the studio with the terrace and the beach.

Penca beach is located in a quiet bay, just in front of Chocoyas Island where guests can enjoy kayaking, stand-up paddle and snorkeling in glassy calm waters. Truly unique to enjoy privacy, connect with nature and find balance.

This large bright comfortable studio comes fully equipped: kitchen, fridge, A/C, internet and hot water. The property is attended by a local couple that provide 24-hours security and cleaning services.

From our spacious terrace, you can watch brilliant sunsets, have breakfast or enjoy watching the sea at day or night. The terrace is decorated with a beautiful Spanish style fountain.

Penca beach has obtained 8 years in a row the award of "Blue Flag Beach", a recognition given to the cleanest beaches of Costa Rica. Accessible to any car. Paved road up to 1mile before the beach. The nearest town is Potrero, located also 1-mile away from the property, it is a beautiful small safe Guanacaste town with grocery shops, restaurants, cantinas, and1 a little church.

No shortage of good restaurant options in the area, with Flamingo and Catalinas only within a 10-minute drive. Other amazing beaches in the area include Conchal, Prieta, Sugar beach or Danta. All quiet white-sand paradises to connect with nature.

No COVID cases reported in the area, however, all cleaning measures are reinforced to ensure our guests are safe and happy.

Absolutely loved staying here. The most relaxing trip I’ve ever had. If you want to walk out the door and spend the day on a quiet beach, this is the place. Short walk to groceries and restaurants. Did not explore the other beaches along the coast because there was no reason to leave. I was able to get private transport to come right to the house for drop off and pick up.
View of the house. You stay in the little addition.

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.

The room is right on the beach with a postcard perfect view. Patio has a bar facing the water for morning coffee and sunset viewing. Private cabana with comfy lounge chairs were great for napping, reading, hanging out. Bed was solid and very comfortable. Hosts are friendly and attentive.Of course there are some ants, this a a tropical beach. And getting there has some challenges, recommend a small 4x4. And this is not a hotel or a brand new building, so don’t expect that. Do expect to sleep well hearing waves lap at the shore, and to be blown away by the beauty.

Steps from the beach this property has the potential to be amazing. Some noticeable draw backs were- fire ants coming up through the shower drain ( the care takers responded to the issue immediately). The AC remote needs replacing (the screen was broken so you could not adjust anything), as well as maintenance on the AC. Our biggest complaint with our stay was unfortunately due to the door being too small for the frame the Jejenes or no-see-ums were able to get into the room, It made it hard to sleep at night. We would wake up everyday with bug bites every day.The end tables are beginning to come off of the wall. Fix those things and this place could be spectacular! This location does have one of the best beaches right outside your door, so even with the issues it was a beautiful location.

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.

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.

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!
