About this property

Spectacular Ocean View, beachfront with 3 swimming pools, snorkel gear included

Spend your day at the “Blue Flag” beach, by one of three pools or take an excursion to one of the many adventures available. We do our best to make it easy for all our guests.
Los Almendros is an upscale, beachfront development on Playa Ocotal's northern shore. This modern gated community has 43 privately owned condominiums and 24 hour security. It is the only development right on Ocotal beach. The development has 3 swimming pools, 2 outdoor barbecues and a covered gazebo. Condo 42 is the end unit on Los Almendros' premium front row. The condo's rear patio is located directly above a small tropical forest. The patio has a beautiful ocean view. It also provides nature lovers an excellent vantage point to observe many colourful birds, howler monkeys, and other amazing wildlife living in the trees below. It is a short 2 minute walk down the hill from the condo to Ocotal Beach.

Our condo is rated as one of Los Almendros' superior rental units. This condo is Los Almendros' most popular and best equipped two bedroom unit. We offer many extras to our guests that enable them to have a more memorable and relaxing vacation:
1) Beautiful ocean view
2) Very quiet and private. No condos above or below. No passing auto traffic

Outstanding swimming and snorkeling: Playa Ocotal is one of Guanacaste's quietest and cleanest "Blue Flag Beaches". The ocean surf is very gentle. Travel guides recommend Playa Ocotal to outdoor enthusiasts who want to snorkel from a Guanacaste beach. Snorkelers drive many miles to explore the rock formations at both ends of Playa Ocotal Beach. Playa Ocotal's best snorkeling is directly below Los Almendros. On most days, you can see numerous species of colorful tropical fish including angel fish, game fish, eels, octopi, puffer fish, rays and many more, in Playa Ocotal's tranquil waters.

Playas del Coco is Guanacaste's fastest growing beach community. The town is a 5 minute drive from Los Almendros. A taxi is fairly inexpensive to town. Coco has modern grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, ATM machines, many restaurants, ice cream shops, many bars/pubs, souvenir shops, and an emergency medical facility. You’ll even find small grocery stores and family restaurants on the way to Coco from condo.

Excursion planning: Playa Ocotal is a great location from which to initiate day trips. Los Almendros has an experienced bilingual office staff that assists guests in making reservations for deep sea fishing, diving, snorkeling, sailing, rafting, tubing, zip lining, massages, hiking, bird watching, hot springs, rain forest tours, volcanoes, canopy tours, and horse back riding. There is multiple dive companies located in Coco for any scuba enthusiasts.

Father Rooster's restaurant is one of Ocotal's most popular restaurants and it is located about 100 meters from the entrance of Los Almendros. It is located right on the beach and is open for lunch and dinner. It is a great place to enjoy a delicious tropical drink, enjoy a meal and take in the fabulous sunset.

Transportation: A car is nice to have but not a necessity in Costa Rica. Taxis from Los Almendros to Coco are fairly inexpensive Bilingual tour operators provide affordable transportation from Los Almendros to Guanacaste tourist attractions. Taxi service is available to and from Liberia airport.

Bicycles: We provide our guests with two cruisers. Both bicycles have a basket and a comfortable saddle seat.

Beautiful Stay
We started our vacation for 4 nights here at this condo. Everything was just as described. We loved snorkeling a few feet away and we were grateful for the equipment that was at the condo. It is well furnished and has everything you need for a beach vacation. We loved our stay and will be returning.

Exceptionally Wonderful Experience!
I am so thankful we chose this Vrbo! The condo has everything you need for living and recreation. It’s a 1 min walk to the gorgeous beach with clear waters and great snorkeling! 1 of the 3 pools is just a hop and skip from the condo and all of them are convenient. You are surrounded by trees, flowers, and wildlife! We saw so many birds, friendly iguanas and monkeys! We enjoyed our coffee on the patio every morning watching the birds and monkeys and listening to the waves on the beach. It’s paradise! Father Roosters is right on the beach by the condo and they have great food, beverages (great piña colada!) and live music! To get into Coco Beach it’s a $10 taxi ride and the condo staff at the gate call them for you. Good restaurants and shopping in Coco and Culture. We also used Memo Adventures 2 of the days and did zip lining, horseback riding, water slides in the forest, swimming in waterfalls and an ecopark where we saw so many sloths, frogs and more. Really, this location has it all and the hosts are the best! The condo has local art and some hand painted pictures by one of the hosts that are beautiful. Booking this Condo made our trip incredible.

Perfection!
Perfect place for a getaway. Host goes above an beyond to make sure your vacation has EVERYTHING you need. Bikes, kayaks, snorkeling gear OH MY! You will also get an detailed itinerary of EVERYTHING you could possibly want to do in the area. Even if you want to do nothing, the secluded black sands beach is a 5 minute walk away. Couldn’t possible ask for more.

A little slice of heaven
Located on a beautiful beach the condo provided us with everything we needed and more including visits by the howler monkey family who entertained us on a regular basis. The beach was fabulous and it was just a short cab ride to town where there is an abundance of supermarkets and restaurants. Thank you Mark and Cheryl for sharing your bit of paradise with us.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Tompsett and Cheryle Croucher

Host profile image
We live in Canada north of Toronto. We have been together for over 35 years and share a love of travel. We have 3 kids, two of which have left the nest and one 21 years old still at home. We have traveled all over the Caribbean but continually have found ourselves drawn back to Costa Rica. Our goal is to eventually, trade in the winters in Canada for the sun and surf of Costa Rica. We love sharing our piece of paradise and helping our guests make the most of their stay in Costa Rica.

Why they chose this property

After our fifth time to Costa Rica we made the decision to purchase at Los Almendros de Ocotal because it offered everything we loved. We stayed at Los Almendros on our second trip to Costa Rica. Los Almendros is a "Prime Beachfront" location. Our condo is a two minute walk down the hill to the beach and it has a fantastic view of the ocean. We love snorkeling and directly below our condo is some of the best snorkeling from shore that we have found in Costa Rica. "Father Rooster's" is a great beach bar and restaurant just a hundred meters down the beach. We are only 5 minutes by car to Playas del Coco. Coco has everything you could possibly want, major grocery stores, bars, restaurants, casino, souvenir shops, emergency medical clinic and far more. This location makes having a car unnecessary. Cab rides are inexpensive into Coco or if you like just rent a golf cart. With our fully equipped kitchen it makes preparing a home cooked meal a breeze.

What makes this property unique

We have have stayed at many rental homes and know what we look for in a rental. We are always interested in hearing from our guests about ways that we could make their stay even more enjoyable.
We provide our guests with beach chairs, coolers, and a sun shelter to enable maximum enjoyment of the beach. We also have 2 bicycles that are available for our guests to use.
