Beach House with Breathtaking Ocean Views (A/C, Pool, Security) Adults only

Insanely gorgeous property. The pictures do not do it justice. The separate apartment was perfect for our daughters. The beach is quiet and the water was perfect. Sometimes we didn’t see other people for hours. You can easily walk to town or the little restaurants and shops right down the street, including a well stocked grocery store. Our favorites were the Sushi spot, the empanadas from the stand on the corner and especially the Media Luna croissants from El Pampa. Bread and Chocolate was a super hit for breakfast, we went back multiple times. We loved seeing all the wildlife, even right on the property. We saw the cutest little dart tree frogs (“poisonous but just don’t rub them on your face”), so many beautiful birds, and sloths!! It was like National Geographic. Tico, the resident dog, was sweet, chill and the cutest underbite ever. The drive from San Jose was scary and took almost 5 hours of white knuckle driving. We will hire a car next time for sure. We didn’t really use the car once we got to the house anyway, everything is so close. Susana was wonderful. She knows everyone and can hook you up with whatever you may be interested in. She gave us the best recommendations for food and activities. Easy to contact and always got back super quick. We are already planning our next trip (and maybe a relocation) we loved it so much!!!

Everything is above what you can imagine. It is so nice . Tico the dog is great. Thanks for a great vacation

Our family of 4 stayed at Casa Pina and had the most wonderful stay. The home is very spacious (probably a bit more than we needed) and the apartment was great for the 2 older girls to have a space of their own. The grounds were just beautiful and full of all kinds of tropical plants giving the pool and sitting areas a very peaceful place to relax. We enjoyed watching all of the wildlife on the grounds and yard including frogs, birds, and sloths.The beach is right in the back yard and we enjoyed morning and evening walks daily. Town was a 15 minute walk or 5 minute ride away. Susana was so very helpful setting us up with the people we needed for all of our excursions, transportation to and from the airport, local taxi, tuk tuk drivers, and a dinner cooked in our home by a lovely local woman. This is truly a special place and we all said we would stay here again in a heartbeat.Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

An awesome house, with special vibes, full of gorgeous home touches, an amazing array of pineapple art. We reckon there are over 500 different pineapples on display. Count them and see! From a smooth check in process with Susanna to the beautiful beach accessible through a lovely garden, a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds, our stay was perfect.

Our trip was perfect. Susana was beyond helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. She even delivered a birthday cake to my wife one day to make sure she had the perfect day. She was so very sweet. The house is amazing and the staff keep the house and pool immaculate. The kitchen has everything you could possible need to do any cooking you need to do. The grounds are beautiful and the walkway to the beach is amazing. Picture perfect. This place is worth every penny and a must see for anyone coming to the Caribbean side. Stay here for sure. Susana will make sure you and your family and friends have the best trip.

We highly recommend Casa Pina! Very comfortable with plenty of space and amenities. Direct private access to beautiful Playa Negra where you can swim and walk for miles. We walked to town (but you can also ride the bikes provided) and enjoyed many restaurants and shops. The best part was that we didn’t need to plan activities or transportation because the manager of this home, Susana, set everything up for us when we arrived including having locals come cook for us! Such a nice community and we always felt safe. Tico, the dog who lives on this property was very sweet!

My friends and I were blown away by this place. The owner is a landscape artist so the property was just stunning. The beach is so close and the pool is salt water as well which we loved. Susanna was an excellent host and very responsive and helpful. I would 100% stay here again. My only criticism is that the mattresses are quite hard, however that was the case for every place we stayed while in Costa Rica.

This was a wonderful spot for our family. Susana was extremely easy to communicate with. She responded quickly with any inquiries we had. The grounds were gorgeous. Well maintained and much more breathtaking than the photos! The landscaping added such a level of tranquility. The pool and surrounding area was literally cleaned daily. The home served our family very well. We enjoyed fresh floral arrangements from the garden and a pineapple that was provided as a welcoming gift! Very sweet! This slice of heaven was just that! The ocean literally a stones through from the back yard was so clean and warm. The sand was hot! Water shoes are a necessity for walking the shore line! The town was close and we never had one bad meal! Everyone was very kind! Not a bad comment to leave!! Thank you to all!

Our family of 6 (4 kids ages 19-25) spent a week here and all agreed that this is a wonderful home in a great part of Costa Rica. The house is clean and comfortable with plenty of space for everyone in a beautifully landscaped garden that is oceanfront. Here you will have everything you need for a relaxing and interesting vacation. The owner has clearly been very thoughtful about thinking of everything guests could want or need (right down to yoga mats and purified water) The beds are very comfortable and kitchen is well-stocked. The outdoor sitting areas are so relaxing. Strong internet works well throughout the property. There is so much to see and do in this part of CR, but we had some days that everyone spent a lot of time in the ocean/beach and sparkling pool all day because we loved the house so much. Although Puerto Viejo has wonderful restaurants, there were a couple of nights that we did enjoy eating at the large outdoor table where we could hear the ocean and sounds of the jungle just beyond the patio. We enjoyed discovering so many birds (including a toucan) and a sloth in the trees. Playa Negra is a beautiful beach with very fine black sand. During our stay the surf was calm and swimming was excellent. Th house came with four comfortable folding beach chairs and beach towels. We felt very safe here and the property is extremely secure. It is in a quiet area. A small grocery store is just down the street and many stores and restaurants are available in town, a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive away. Susana was very helpful with restaurant recommendations. She is easy to contact and very responsive. We highly recommend Casa Pina and look forward to returning!

The property was great however the town was not as friendly as our previous visit to the Pacific side of Costa Rica
