Great secure location. Near the activity, yet secluded enough. Quiet and well kept. Just right for our familiy of four.

Great view on the hills. Easily accessible pool. Close to a really nice beach with very good snorkeling, and monkeys in the trees. Thank you Myriam and Jorge for the hospitality and handy tips.

Lots of extras spices etc. and friendly. Directions are poor never did receive gps coordinates.
The place was of Newer Construction and decent. Very basic inside. No TV. Wash machine did not work. Everything else was adequate at best.
The host was awesome and very facilitating.
We’re Myriam and Jorge, your hosts at this peaceful Ocotal retreat. We split our time between the cloud forests of Monteverde and the sunny beaches of Guanacaste, and we feel lucky to share the beauty of Costa Rica with travelers from around the world.
As longtime hosts, we’ve welcomed hundreds of guests and take pride in creating comfortable, well-cared-for spaces that let you truly relax and enjoy your vacation. We value clean design, great sleep, good local tips, and thoughtful details—and we aim to provide just that in every stay.

We’re always happy to share suggestions or assist if anything comes up. Whether you’re here for the sunsets, the wildlife, or just to recharge by the ocean, we hope you feel at home during your stay.
Thanks for considering our place for your time in Ocotal!
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peace and proximity. Nestled on a hill between Playa Ocotal and Playa del Coco, it’s a perfect base to explore the area. While Playa del Coco offers a livelier atmosphere with bars, shops, and nightlife, Playa Ocotal is the quiet counterpart: calm, scenic, and ideal for those looking to unwind.
Ocotal Beach itself is a gem—small, picturesque, and less crowded, with beautiful sunsets and excellent snorkeling. One of our favorite spots is Father Rooster’s , a laid-back beachfront restaurant where you can enjoy fresh seafood with your toes in the sand.
This neighborhood gives you quick access to the energy of Coco when you want it, and the tranquility of Ocotal when you don’t. That peaceful balance is what drew us here—and we think guests will love it too.
What makes this property unique
Rather than being in the middle of the noise, to reach our home you will drive through a bit of authentic old beach Costa Rica town of Ocotal. While it’s not extravagant it will allow you to see real living. Take a moment to appreciate this.
