LOCATION

This beautiful beach home, located just 740 feet (225 meters) from the ocean, comes with everything you need to start living Pura Vida - pure life. This paradise is located on the exotic beach of Agujas, far from the crowds. The remoteness of the beach and this area will astound you.

This property is just steps away from the pristine shoreline on one of the most tranquil and unspoiled beaches on Costa Rica's Central Pacific Coastline. The view across the Gulf of Nicoya takes your breath away! If you have been wanting to start living a Pura Vida lifestyle with absolutely no cares, this is the place for you!

Walk to the beach to enjoy the tranquil waters, a rarity on the Pacific Coastline in Costa Rica. The beach is a hidden gem, with calm waters that make a perfect launch area for kayak, snorkeling, swimming, stand up paddle boards, and beach fishing. put your oars in the calm waters of the protected ocean bay. On occasion with a perfect west swell there is a nice left hand point break for surfers on the south side of the beach. Paddle over to the beautiful beaches of Playa Mantas, Playa Blanca near Punta Leona, and the more secluded Playa Bochinche, known only to locals and residents. The deserted Blue Flag beach is just steps away waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

This home is located within a very private 120 acre jungle. From the upstairs deck you can see giant trees, monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and many other parrots flying overhead. Only 15 minutes to the beautiful Carara National Park! The local market is great for tropical fruits and local delicacies. Beachside restaurants serve fresh caught fish and lobster. Jaco Kayak is a must for tours and rentals. Local horseback riding is fantastic. Any recommendations you need, please reach out…I’m happy to help in any way I can.

· 1 hour from the San Jose International Airport.
· 10min north of Jaco, the surfing capital of the Central Pacific Coast
· A few minutes north of the famed Los Suenos Marriott Marina and Golf Course.

The entire upstairs is a huge deck and wet bar. High top and low top tables made out of Costa Rican hardwood. All this is under two beautiful gazebos with high ceilings and ceiling fans to keep cool in the tropical climate. Enjoy the ocean breezes and the sounds of scarlet macaws, mot mots, green parrots and colorful toucans flying by for a visit. There is accessibility to the deck from the pool area and front yard.

A wonderful experience
The house is great. We had an extended family group of eight and had plenty of room. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed cooking, grilling, and dining on the porch. It was so nice to have the pool to use, a great way to start and end the day! There is so much to do in the area, as well as going to the nearby beaches. There is a great beach within walking distance, with a fun local beachside restaurant for drinks and local food, with really friendly people. The owner of the property was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. The property caretaker was so so helpful, he arranged airport transportation for our group, took us on a wonderful boat tour and was so helpful and informative. He made our stay so easy and enjoyable! We felt very secure at the property, and definitely enjoyed seeing the pair of scarlet macaws each day in the trees in the yard. The upstairs deck was a wonderful vantage point for taking in all of the birds and wildlife. Overall a great property!

Comfortable and secluded
Very comfortable stay for the family over Christmas. Has everything you need. Just show up with your suitcase and a quick stop at the grocery store on the way in. Traffic on the highway going into Jaco can get busy at times. But house and surrounding neighborhood is very quiet. Very nice beach with very few people.

Great place!
The owner was VERY responsive and quick, which was so helpful. He had also thought of so many little things that people might need, which we definitely did! The property was very clean, and as described - comfortable, with nice beds and air conditioning in each room. It was perfect for our family (grandparents, parents, and 4 grandchildren ages 10-16). I recommend!

Quiet, safe, non touristy! The pictures do not do it justice!
This was a lovely property! So much nicer in person than we expected! There were two beaches a short walk away and both were rarely ever populated. One even felt like our own private beach most days. The waves were also much gentler at these beaches than at the beach in Jaco. You can also sign up for tours right from Playa Agujas, including kayaks, hawaiian outriggers and ATV tours. We had a group of 5 adults, 2 couples and my husbands lil brother. There was plenty of space for everyone and I enjoyed the three different outdoor spaces that let you get away if you need alone time. We did plenty of cooking and the kitchen was great. The locals are very friendly and the little local bar at the beach is adorable and even serves decent food. Jaco is a short ride away and we rented a car for part of the stay to explore the city and near by Carara National Park. The park has a lovely jungle hike for 11 dollars a person and there were lots of other tours available in the area. We packed light and really only needed swim suits and shorts. Just about every one around there seems to live in beach attire so don’t forget an extra suit or two and spare flip flops! 10 out of 10 recommend this place if you’re looking for a quieter stay away from the tourist towns. It was definitely nice to come “home” to a safe place where no one solicits you on your way to the beach after a day exploring the city.

Oasis is the perfect description
My husband and I stayed at this lovely house in a cute village - the home fit perfectly with the feel of the area and had everything we needed for our stay. We also received a guide from the owner with lots of info on what to expect, not just of the home but traveling and area recommendations. This was very helpful for someone who doesn't travel international very often. I am very much a wanderer so exploring the local area was so much fun, so different from the states. The wildlife is amazing and can be enjoyed from the home or as you are wandering about. I loved having the beach so close and being able to have dinner on the beach was fantastic. We didn't stray far from the local area on this trip but I definitely want to go back and explore further out and go on some of the activities that are around (like the coffee plantation tour, sad we didn't make it to that this time!). Hopefully this home will be available when we are able to go back.
