About this property

Private oceanfront villa with beautiful beach, spectacular sunsets

A beautiful house with a rustic charm located above a very private beach, Coco Flotante offers comfortable, elegant indoor and outdoor living spaces and magnificent ocean views.

Ocean breezes and the sound of surf fills a house that offers spectacular sunset views from every room. Eight to ten people can stay here very comfortably, but smaller groups will also find the home's intimate spaces welcoming and well-proportioned. The first floor offers two private master suites with king beds and en suite baths, plus a living room with TV, a well equipped kitchen, and a laundry room. The outside stairs take to the second floor, where a beautifully appointed bedroom with queen bed enjoys its own private floor-to-ceiling ocean views and shares a double vanity bath with the spacious twin bedroom down the hall. The bar and spacious lounge is ideal for watching sunsets.

The heart of the house is its beautifully landscaped outdoor living space, with large open air dining table, hammocks, ranchero, and intimate sitting areas just outside both of the two first-floor master suites. Relax in the infinity pool, nap in a lounge chair with palms rustling overhead, or retreat with drink in hand to a comfortable chair under the shade of the ranchero when the sun is strong.

The location is nothing short of spectacular, with unimpeded views of the Pacific and direct access to two beautiful beaches, which offer sand, surf, snorkeling, and a distinct lack of crowds.

Located little more than an hour from the airport in Liberia, or forty-five minutes from either Tamarindo or Santa Cruz, the village of Junquillal is easily accessible but not overly developed. You won’t find nightclubs and streets lined with shopping here, but if you’re looking for a laid-back, quiet, authentic setting with easy access to all kinds of options, you’ll love it. There are several excellent restaurants in the immediate area. Local tour guides can arrange horseback, zip line, or jungle river tours; and hiking, caving, birding, mountain biking, scuba diving, or deep sea fishing adventures. Just two miles to the north (a half hour walk on the beach) is the world class surf of Playa Negra. Surfing and stand-up paddleboarding lessons and estuary tours are readily available.

A five minute walk brings you to the long, flat expanse of Playa Junquillal and its Turtle Nesting Sanctuary, which has received global recognition. From the lawn of Coco Flotante watch for low tide at Playa Blanca and you’re only two minutes away from fantastic snorkeling. Palo Verde National Park is one hour from the house and Rincon National Park is two. One of Costa Rica’s finest golf courses is located a half-hour away at the luxurious Hacienda Pinilla.

The Spanish-speaking caretakers who live on the premises are friendly and attentive. Please note that there are small dogs on the property. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Lovely home
Our extended family stayed at this beautiful home for 2 weeks. It had everything we needed. As others have remarked, the pictures do not do it justice. Maria came every morning and was so kind and efficient. The only thing I would recommend is bringing your own beach chairs if you are planning frequent beach excursions. We hope to return!

Beautiful Private Getaway
The setting was wonderful, the views were amazing, the house was very private and accommodating for all our needs. The pictures cannot even show how beautiful and authentic this place is with its spanish tiles, private beach setting, areas to relax. This home was great for couples to share or a big family.

A beautiful house and setting!
Coco Flotante is an incredible property where our family of 8, 7 adults & one child ten years old, had a fabulous week. Some enjoyed a fishing charter and surfing, and we all participated in a fun Monkey and Crocodile riverboat adventure with Xplore Costa Rica. Everyone loved the house and the pool where we spent many hours so much that we really didn’t ever need to leave the property. The caretakers next door were wonderful and graciously took care of our every need. Also, the rental manager was very helpful and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Coco Flotante, and we are already planning our next visit there. It is truly Pura Vida!

Sunsets and surf
The property is set on bluffs above the Pacific affording wonderful sunsets with the constant sound of waves crashing. The house is nice and big, with lots of spots to relax. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms was welcomed. Just a great experience! Everything we expected.

Beautiful views, restful stay
Coco Flotante is absolutely beautiful, the pictures hardly do it justice. We spent two weeks, the first with our grandniece and nephew (9 and 11) and the second with our adult children and friends. The host (Georgina) and the caretakers (Gama and Maria) we all excellent and very helpful. Everything you need is there. The pool is just the right size for adults to hang out or kids to play Marco Polo. It worked well to have a separate floor (we put the younger people up there, the stairs are steep). Well-stocked kitchen, nice seating areas. Be prepared for mosquitos. They appear at dawn and dusk. Once we put mosquito repellant on we were fine. Walks along the beach were excellent. Some of our party did the horseback riding at sunset and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended: Lola's at Playa Avellanas. We spent a day there surfing (or for some of us watching surfing) excellent meals and great umbrella set up ($10/day per chair). Rip tides are no joke, but if you are cautious, body surfing at Junquillal beach was a favorite. TPV's river tour. Loads of monkeys, birds and crocodiles. Nearby dining: Guacamaya Lodge, Tides, and Lochitos. Villa Deevena is pricey but excellent AND, for the wine snobs out there, they have an excellent wine shop and this is the best place to buy wine in the area. We had great time snorkeling with Pargos. He's very knowledgeable and safety conscious. A big THANK YOU to Georgina, Gama, and Maria for making our stay so wonderful.
