Beautiful beach front bungalow with stunning beach and sea views

This spot was a perfect home base for our time in the area. The house was comfortable and beautifully situated near the beach with restaurants and groceries in easy walking distance. I have already been recommending it to family and friends!

We had an amazing week living with the sloths, monkeys and macaws. Literally steps from a relatively private section of Playa Cocles. My only criticism is that the bed was older and my partner found it to be somewhat uncomfortable. Casa Caracola will immerse you in all the nature that the Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica has to offer.

We loved our week of relaxation in this bungalow. It is perfect for two people in an idyllic situation surrounded by nature, next to and with views to beach and sea and yet conveniently close to shops and restaurants. It could be even better with only a small investment in some of its facilities eg cooker, curtains and cutlery.

great property

The bungalow is simply stunning – located right by the sea with a breathtaking view. One of the highlights was the incredible wildlife in the garden: monkeys climbing through the trees, and we even spotted sloths hanging right in front of the bungalow. A true paradise for nature lovers!The kitchen is very well equipped, making it easy to prepare your own meals. The beautiful terrace is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sea view at any time of day.An absolutely perfect stay – highly recommended!

The beach was gorgeous, and the property was full of wildlife! We enjoyed our stay immensely. So close to shopping, groceries, and restaurants. Couldn't ask for a better location. The only suggestion we have is to have more fans available as keeping the large doors open at night without screens makes for too many mosquitoes.

The listing stated there was a hottub, which did not exist. When we wanted to use it and could not find it, we asked the host about it, he said there was none and he then tried to change the listing! The location is excellent but the unit is very run down, in poor condition, nothing has been maintained, there is an unacceptable level of rust everywhere, including on all four burners of the stove, on the refridgerator and all curtain rods; the shower would not drain, so you stood in dirty water which attracts mosquitos, some windows would not lock which is a security hazard, and others were rusted shut, there were gaps in the floorboards, the bathroom cupboard was broken and open to the elements, the unit was unbearably hot with two old rusting fans that did not work properly, there were several dogs at the property next door that howled all day and all through the night. Don't be fooled by the photos, you will notice some careful placement has been done to hide the rust. This place has tons of potential but needs serious work. It is very close to the sea so it is rusting and deteriortating due to lack of proper care and upkeep. If you stay here, you will be paying luxury prices to stay at a small rusting dump. The host is a greedy and deceitful person, beware of the lies he may feed you. This is the worst experience we had staying at any unit listed on any platform and trying to get a refund from VRBO was also a total nightmare. Do youself a favour and stay somewhere else!

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Caracola! Quiet and secluded. Thomas was great with communication. Responded to any questions we had almost immediately. Check in was super easy. Very clean when we arrived. Only negative was that accessing the beach required walking through a wet, swampy path. We checked it out when we arrived and decided to drive to beaches with less swampy access. It overall, it was a great stay

You just can't get any closer to the beach. Very private setting and personal access to the beach. Just a short drive to several other beaches and soooo many dining options close by.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Photos of the property are accurate. You are right on the beach. Great access. The monkeys keep you entertained. Would stay there again.
