Dreaming of Costa Rica?

Is your dream vacation to visit Costa Rica? How about visiting Costa Rica on a budget? While we can't help with airfare (although we an provide a list of airlines flying into Costa Rica) we can offer you a great deal on the best affordable condo with beautiful ocean views in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica!

Where is Playas del Coco?
Playas del Coco is a small fishing village with shops & restaurants in the northwestern province of Guanacaste on the Pacific Ocean. It's just west of Costa Rica's second largest international airport, Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia, about 20 minutes from our condo.

About Our Condo
Our condo is located in a small, quiet complex of only 17 units (not like you'll find with some other bustling condo developments in Playas del Coco). It's a 2-story condo that offers views of the beautiful Pacific Ocean and Tortuga Island from the second-floor bedroom balcony or the spacious rooftop terrace, that also offers mountain views to the back of the property.

Our condo offers a pool just 7 steps down from our door! We have spacious 10-foot-high ceilings that create an airy feeling, plus it's fully air-conditioned throughout to keep you cool and comfortable during your stay. We have a custom kitchen featuring Costa Rican wood cabinets, granite countertops and all the necessities. There's a dining room (plus a shared poolside dining area) and a living area. We offer a safe for personal belongings, a flat-screen TV and of course, free WI-Fi! The bedroom features a plush pillow-top bed so you can get a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the Costa Rican sun.

Please Note: We have several sets of stairs leading up to our condo, plus a roof top terrace that's accessed by a spiral staircase, so unfortunately if stairs don't work for you, our condo may sadly not be the best fit :(

How Affordable is Our Condo?
We purchased our condo in 2011 and are proud to say we've never raised the rates! During high season, November to March inclusive, our rates are as follows:

  • $75 (US) per night, with a 3-night minimum stay
  • $400 (US) per week
  • $1,100 (US) per month

Essentially everything you've imagined doing in Costa Rica can be accessed while staying at our condo - and just think of all the money you'll save so you can enjoy more snorkeling, scuba diving, beach combing, horseback riding, mountain biking, sea kayaking and sunset sailing. Within an hours' drive, you'll find turtle watching, zip-lining, white water rafting, surfing, bird watching and even Parque Volcan Rincon de la Vieja, with its' steamy volcano. And, we can help you arrange any tours you'd like with our friends at Mardigi Tours!

Best Beaches in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Once you've settled in to our 1-bedroom, ocean-view condo in Playas del Coco, you'll have access to some of the best beaches in Guanacaste, Costa Rica! Besides the cocoa-colored sands of beautiful Playas del Coco, you'll be near 3 other unique beaches worth visiting. Let's take a look!

Playa Hermosa:
An 8 km drive north, Playa Hermosa is famous for it's black sand that sparkles with a touch of gold, which is rumored to provide healing properties. The calm waters of Playa Hermosa are popular for swimming, as well as scuba diving and snorkeling.



Playa Tamarindo:
About 1.5 hours south, this picturesque, white sand beach is seemingly endless! It's a perfect beach for walking, people watching and beachcombing. Activities available on Playa Tamarindo include surfing, sunset cruises and ATV tours. 



Playa Conchal:
About an hour south, you'll find Playa Conchal and the mega resorts of Costa Rica's Pacific Coast. It's perfect for surfers looking to ride the big waves. Plus the abundance of waves means a huge selection of beachcombing shells! Even though Playa Conchal is popular with surfers, it's also a great beach for swimming, snorkeling and deep sea fishing excursions.

IRONMAN Coming to Playas del Coco, Costa Rica!

Wow, after all the recent exciting news about Playas del Coco, we've got something else to tell you! IRONMAN 70.3 is coming to Playas del Coco, Costa Rica!! 

For the first time ever in Costa Rica, this world-renowned event takes place on June 18, 2017. It's estimated 1,800 will compete to win the circuit that includes a 1.9-mile swim in the Gulf of Papagayo; 90 km of cycling between San Blas and Sardinal; ending with a 21-km race in Playas del Coco.

Here's what IRONMAN has to say about the beautiful Playas del Coco race venue:


Playas del Coco, Guanacaste 
With more than 400 miles of coast line, the Guanacaste tourism area comprises the Pacific Coast area from the border of Nicaragua to the Bongo River estuary in the Nicoya Peninsula. This area boasts a significant number of protected areas including water, land, mountain, and coastal ecosystems that are teaming with life. 
The incomparable beauty of its landscapes, ranges from tropical dry forests to lowland mountain forests, warm climate, and flourishing nature.  All along the Guanacaste coastline are a number of beaches where you can swim in their warm Pacific Ocean waters. The coastal landscape is exceptional. There is an array of white-sand beaches and calm, intense-blue waters.  
There are two commercial centers located in the northern area: Liberia and Santa Cruz, which, in turn, are linked with five important tourism development centers: Papagayo, El Coco, Flamingo, Conchal, and Tamarindo. In the southern area, the commercial center is Nicoya with Samara being the development center. 
Playas del Coco 
This is one of the most popular and traditional beaches in Costa Rica. It is located in a bay with soft waves and is very suitable for swimming and boat docking. Its grey sands extend almost a mile and a half. To the south there is the Centinela Islet where there is a cove with white sands. Playas del Coco has a wide range of recreational and sporting activities, including sport fishing, diving, boat excursions, etc. It is also ideal for hiking and horseback riding.

Dias del Fiesta Playas del Coco


It's almost party time once again in Playas del Coco, Guanacaste! The last weekend of January is when the popular Dias del Fiesta is held, where the downtown streets will be overtaken by people, parades and food carts - so much fun for everyone!

One of the biggest events during Dias del Fiesta in Playas del Coco will be the cowboy rodeos! If you've never been, or even if you have, you'll see typical Costa Rican families attending all of the rodeo events scheduled throughout the weekend. Sometimes there are amusement rides set up for the kids as it's a really big celebration!



Horses will be paraded through the streets as the local cowboys show off their riding skills. Learn more about the Cowboy Culture in Costa Rica!
