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.

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.

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.

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.

Beach was not crowded which is what we wanted. Sodas were a great place to enjoy the local cuisine. Must do dinner at Sentido Norte - food and service was outstanding.

I love this place! I wanted quiet, relaxing, peaceful and unique! It was allOf them! I was afraid it was too good to be true but it was all that I’d hoped for! The care takers were amazing. Everything was very clean when we arrived and we had everything we need to eat in as planned. There are some restaurants very close within walking or driving a few stores to chose from and we felt very safe roaming out. There were a couple of things that kept if from being five star but not even worth complaining about. The price was beyond reasonable, the onsite hosts were wonderful and the studio was comfortable and beautiful! If you want spotless, bug free or a maid you may need a five star hotel or resort but for me, it was a dream spot!

Paradise on Playa Penca

We loved every minute of our stay. We had the beach nearly to ourselves and the sunsets were incredible. It was a short walk to a few nearby (and delicious) restaurants. We also walked into Surfside a few times - maybe a 25 min walk.Digna was very friendly and quickly responded to any questions. The room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Everything was perfect. We hope to return on our next trip to Costa Rica.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Blue House. It is small, but had every thing we needed and It sits on a beautiful and quiet beach. Surrounding area is very friendly. We shopped at the nearby markets and ate at nearby sodas. Our hosts were wonderful. Digna and her husband were warm and welcoming. We felt very comfortable.

A true jem!

We weren’t really sure what to expect, when we arrived it was more than we were expecting! Dinga and Omar were always so helpful. The grounds are well maintained and the apartment is steps from the beach. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves some days. It was a little tricky to find the first day as Waze couldn’t recognize it but we found it off the map from the website. We will absolutely be back! Pura Vida!

Great Beach Front Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront studio – it truly exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Being directly on the water was an absolute dream! The location is serene and beautiful, with the ocean just steps from the terrace. Waking up to the sunrise over the calm bay and falling asleep to the sound of the waves made this a truly peaceful getaway.The road to the property is a bit tucked away, and it took us a moment to realize we were in the right spot – but once we found it, we knew we were in for something special. The parking area was convenient, and we were greeted by a friendly cat who seemed to be a regular around the grounds, which added to the charm.The property is beautifully landscaped, full of birds and little crabs that made the yard feel alive with nature. The studio itself was clean and cozy. The on-site caretakers were kind, attentive, and always ready to help without being intrusive.If you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-filled stay right on one of Costa Rica’s beaches, this is the place.
