About this property

Welcome to Paradise. Relax and enjoy your stay here at 'The Bounty' and enjoy its bountiful gardens and views from either the lower deck or the upper balcony.

Casa Bounty recently renovated in 2010 has a rustic design that combines perfectly with the beautiful tropical setting, the ocean view on its terrace makes it hard to leave. It is well equipped for your comfort and contains many western amenities. The balcony overlooks the Caribbean Sea, meaning there are great beaches only minutes away.
Feel free to take a walk along the serene beach or take a dip in the ocean or gather seashells at your leisure.

Located in a beautiful pristine beach on the north side of Puerto Viejo in the Playa Negra community The Bounty is just a 5-minute drive away from Puerto Viejo.

Puerto Viejo is one of the most popular vacation spots in all of Costa Rica. When you travel to Puerto Viejo, you’ll easily be able to have a fun and exciting vacation, particularly if you enjoy spending time in the water. The southern Caribbean coast is considered to be one of the best surfing spots in Costa Rica, and the tide pools that form during low tide are great for a quick and refreshing dip.

A groundskeeper lives in a small cabin on the premises and helps keep everything manicured and working properly. The owners live in the other side of the duplex from November to May, and with their typical Canadian hospitality, make guests feel welcome. Not to mention we are Pet and Kid Friendly!!

Susana the property manager is also available for any questions or help when needed!

Best property host ever!!

Our stay was more than we hoped for because Susanna was the most kind and lovely person. She was very helpful to us choosing things to do and took time to get to know us to be able to suggest activities. Wish we would have stayed longer at this location of our travels. The walk to town was pleasurable. We loved having a deck and upstairs balcony off the bedroom. The only suggestion we would make is updating the microwave and toaster oven.

Needs lots of attention

Susana, the property manager, met us for check in and was flexible with our schedule due to a traffic accident shutting down the road. The property photos had obviously been taken years before. Things on the outside were beautiful, but the inside of the home had missing and broken tiles in the kitchen, no potable water (Susana said she would not drink it) and the water container in the photo as well as the microwave, no longer exist. The washer and dryer are in the living room so the only real gathering space is off the upstairs bedroom, (including going up steep, uneven stairs). The stove gas only worked half the time we were there and the oven never worked. There is a toaster oven but cooking for 4 in it was challenging. We asked for a drinking pitcher and Susana said she would bring the next day but we never got it. We were left only 4 towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, and 1 roll of papertowels for 4 adults for 7 days. When we asked Susana about anything, it was a big deal. She either became defensive or just ignored us. Who didn't ignore us was the property owner who shares the property and does not wear pants. That's right, every day he is waiting on the porch in his boxer shorts and at one point, we had only the screen door closed, I walked out of the bathroom after a shower in a towel headed to the bedroom to get dressed. He lets himself in and just stands there talking about bananas and ogling. After that, none of us stayed at the property alone.

Location!

It’s pretty hard to beat the location, a minute walk to the black sand beach right in front, which was never crowded. When we were there swimming wasn’t possible, but playing in the surf was really fun. It’s just a short bike ride to town, about a mile. The yard is full of flowers and offered us many cool wildlife sightings. Nearby there is a fun 2 mile hike or bike to a bird filled river that empties into the sea. The listing photos should be updated as they do not reflect the current condition of the house. The house is in need of maintenance. The kitchen was a challenge, and needs several upgrades. The paved street between the house and the beach is very noisy, but the road noise lessens at night. However, dogs bark and roosters crow then. We would highly recommend Cahuita National Park, Punta Uva, the Jaguar Rescue Center, the chocolate tour at Caribeans, and the Puerto Viejo Bike shop for rentals, and Degustibus Bakery.

GREAT SEASIDE RETREAT!

We loved our stay! Check in was simple. The house was furnished with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for two couples. It was nice having the washer and dryer available for laundry. We used the clothes line outside to dry our clothes so save electricity and everything dried fast with the breeze. The house was perfectly located across the road from the beach and just a few minute drive from town. There were plenty of cafes and places to eat near by as well as a grocery store. We nearly had the beach to ourselves each morning and evening. The porch was nice to sit on in the mornings and evening with a cup of coffee and enjoying the breeze. David the caretaker lives next door and will see to any needs that may arise. He is an amazing chef and though he wasn't available to cook for us on our short stay, we enjoyed sharing a few recipes together. The sunrise on the beach is an amazing site, make sure you take advantage of it! It was a pleasure to meet Susana, she has a sweet spirit and stopped by just to check and make sure we settled in and to answer any questions for us. Check out was simple too. We look forward to staying again the next time we are in Costa Rica!!
