About this property

Cozy Beachfront Eco Bungalow! Cottage de los Palmas

Right on the Beach! Ideal for a nature lovers seeking solitude or adventure. Enjoy the privacy of your own space in our eco cottage just steps away from the ocean. Watch Scarlet Macaws fly overhead above our yard stopping to eat from our almond trees! If you have a sharp eye you'll see monkeys high up in the palms enjoying their meal of coconut fruit and milk. Relax on the porch or patio and watch birds, squirrels, iguanas and even the neighbors chickens meander through the yard.
This adorable cottage is situated in a neighborhood setting just beyond farmland and palm plantations. It is nestled among palm trees on a beautiful, secluded property right on the Pacific Ocean. The spacious rooms and kitchen are furnished with all the essentials you need for a simple yet relaxing and enjoyable vacation in spectacular Costa Rica. All rooms are open and airy with ceiling fans. The bedroom is equipped A/C. A screened in porch with overhead fan provides a cool spot to enjoy the ocean views away from the sun. There is even a small reading library!
Just steps out the door is a pristine beach perfect for walking. Walk or jog along the beach for miles in either direction. A 40 min walk south down the beach will take you to an estuary. At low tide walk out TOWARDS the ocean some 200 feet! Chill on the beach in lounge chairs under beach umbrellas. Swim with boogie boards. Watch pelicans, plovers, sanderlings at the beach. The sunsets are one of the most spectacular sights and worth watching from the beach each and every night.
The serenity here is addictive and you may want to spend every day relaxing on the porch or ocean side. But just 10 min away in Parrita you can find cafes, grocery and drug stores. Within 45 minutes you can be in Quepos at the new marina, diving in Manuel Antonio or in Jaco where fishing, surfing, souvenir shops and other tourist attractions abound. And within an hour you can visit Domincal with it's lush forests and waterfalls.
This quaint cottage with it's jungle meets ocean setting is perfect for the adventurous couple or those seeking solitude. A great way to see life in Costa Rica away from the usual tourist congregations. The central location also makes a great home base for a longer stay. Head south along the road beyond Parrita to explore the Osa Peninsula or north to the Nicoya Peninsula.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the location or our cottage. We have been spending several weeks here every year for many years and we cherish the time. This property and ocean are a nature lovers paradise. Our cozy cottage is our second home. We think it will delight you too!

Playa Bandera 2024
This property is just as advertised, a basic cottage for two and a superb black sand beach that stretched for at last a km in either direction with few footprints save our own.

Unwind & Destress!
This was our 3rd stay. We absolutely love this special place! It's a sweet simple house with palm trees, monkeys, iguanas, & beautiful birds. It's a beautiful private beach, where almost every day you have it all to yourself. It's in a private quite part of Costa Rica. It's the most relaxing vacation spot we've ever been to.

Best Place to Stay in Costa Rica
We are so happy we chose to stay at Cottage de los Palmas. Watching monkeys and all kinds of tropical wildlife in the yard as we drank our coffee on the porch was really special and something we couldn't have experienced staying elsewhere. Having such close beach access was also really nice. Most of the time we had the beach to ourselves. We swam in the warm water, watched the sunsets, and sat on the beach at night to listen to the waves and star gaze. There's also lots to do nearby - waterfall hikes, mangrove boat tours, ziplining, and Manuel Antonio National Park. Jan and David were great hosts and very responsive to any questions we had. The groundskeeper, Rolando, was also very helpful if we ever needed anything. Would definitely stay here again.
