a perfect week in paradise

We spent an amazing week at Villa Coco Sol. The house suited our family of 4 perfectly and was clean and comfortable with lots of space. The pool and location were great and the beach is gorgeous and practically empty. We really enjoyed the town and local restaurants and found Esterillos to be situated well for day trips, although we mostly lounged by the pool and and played in the ocean. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials. The boogie boards were an added bonus. I had worried the ocean would be too rough to go in but didn't find that at all. We would certainly come back.

We loved staying here! You are close to good restaurants and stores, but the home feels secluded. The beach is often empty and it's just beautiful. The property owner and managers are wonderful! Will stay here again!

Wonderful stay

We traveled with 4 adults and 3 children (ages 5, 6, and 11). We were delighted when we arrived to be greeted by the caretaker, Jeni, who brought us to see her pet parrots and parakeets. Our kids loved being to hold the birds! In addition, they had two puppies that our kids got to play with.Location is fantastic, on a deserted beach where you can boogie board (boards provided) in the sunset. The pool was clean, and great for swimming.The AC in one of the rooms didn't work the first night, but was promptly fixed the next morning. Communication with host was seamless and quick via WhatsApp

5 star Paradise

Exceeded expectations! The care takers of the property made the trip extra special!! We are from Florida and live among the top rated beaches in the country. The beach this house is on should be on that list no doubt! JUST BEAUTIFUL! The location of this house is perfect plenty of incredible restaurants and grocery within walking or a bike ride. Yeni set up a local authentic in shore fishing trip that was so much fun and they cooked the fish up fresh for us that night the best fish we ever have.! we went to the rainmaker rainforest. It was absolutely beautiful. We did an ATV tour that had beautiful waterfalls and views of the ocean that included a local lunch that was delicious. We also did an offshore fishing trip in Quopeos that was a fishing trip of a lifetime we caught tuna, mahi, and sailfish! . It was so nice to jump in the pool after our day trips! We would definitely stay here again!!

Great house and location!

Two families of four that stay for a week. The house has everything and more what we expected. The house has everything you will need for a week. We prepared many meals buying food from local stores. We also walked to two separate restaurants for dinner. Air conditioning in bedrooms was a definite plus. Great view of ocean. Pool is also refreshing. Yeni and Mendoza (onsite house caretakers) went above and beyond. They gave us options to buy fish and lobsters for dinner. They also made an amazing authentic last day lunch before we checked out. The owner was very helpful and kind. We can't wait to go back.

Fabulous location

The beach and pool were wonderful. Lots of beach towels and water/sand you got the kids. The house was a bit rustic but worked for us. The trash situation was a bit confusing. Organic waste container in kitchen and toilet paper cans in bathrooms but no regular containers for trash. There were a couple cans outside but no bags in them so not sure if we should use them The owner was helpful via text but onsite manager only spoke Spanish so instructions and questions were difficult. However she was always kind and pleasant. Wish that I could give this review 4 1/2 stars

Amazing House & Location!

We had a great stay at Villa Cocosol. The house was in a great location close to Emanuel Antonio, zip lining, monkey mangroves and hiking/waterfalls. The house, grounds, pool and beach were great. There were red macaws in the trees outside the house. The caretakers were very helpful that lived on the property. They addressed any needs we had. The owner was also very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful views incredible beach

The house was amazing, especially the views from the upper deck. As hot as it was the fans on the porch were perfect. The house was fully equipped and every bedroom had air conditioning that worked well. We shared half our time between the pool and ocean… about 4 hours a day Overall a perfect place and great communications with our host Jessica. Yeni the caretaker did her best to help out with suggestions for tours and fresh fish. Wonderful 8 days!!! Highly recommend monkey mangrove tour as well. Thanks Jessica

Wonderful Beach House!

We loved our time at Villa CocoSol! Our family of six stayed at this property for 3 weeks and we all had so much fun. The beach is just steps away with perfect waves for surfing or boogie boarding. The sand is soft and the beach is clean. We slept so well with plenty of space for everyone and A/C in all of the bedrooms keeping it nice and cool. Esterillos Oeste is the cutest little beach town with all of the amenities you need (restaurants, grocery store etc.) but off the beaten path and away from the crowds. We did multiple day trips to amazing places, Manuel Antonio national park, Nauyaca Waterfall, monkey tours, etc. The property managers there are so incredibly kind and helpful with anything you may need. They both went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable giving us local tips and even bringing us fresh exotic fruit and fish. We feel like we found the perfect place! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect beach location

We are 3 couples who have stayed in Esterillos Oeste 3 times. This was our first time staying in Villa CocoSol. The location on the beach and view from this house is spectacular. The pool is a nice size and wonderful location in front of the beach house, with a view of the ocean. We loved relaxing in the rancho or on the new upper balcony, with coffee in the morning or cocktail in the evening. The beach house is very comfortable with everything we needed. The care takers Yeni and Mendoza were very friendly and helpful. They also prepared a freshly caught fish meal for us that was delicious. Jessica (the owner) was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any questions before and during our vacation.She helped us arrange transportation to and from the airport. She even found someone to purchase and stock the kitchen with some groceries for us, since our plane arrived very late at night. We had a small issue with the dryer while we were there and as I have heard said when renting a property…. It’s not that an issue occurs, it is how it is dealt with. She did everything she could to get it repaired as quickly as possible. We had a wonderful vacation at Villa CocoSol and we hope to return next year, it is a beautiful spot!

Unbelievably perfect!

Clean, beautiful, easy. There was 24hr help from the property management group. Literally, within minutes we either had an answer or someone at the house to help in person. The property is immaculate & stocked with whatever you need- other than food. The supermarket & restaurants are walking distance & have everything necessary. The house location is quiet & at a perfect distance from the day trippers further down the road on the beach. We are looking forward to returning to this perfect paradise.

All Bases Covered!

We were a large party of 8, a mix of teenagers and middle age adults (lol I’m describing myself!). So you can imagine we had different needs and this place covered all the bases for us. Felipe was super organized and friendly from the start. He met us at a close location, and then we followed him to the house. It had everything we imagined and was the perfect place for all our needs. The kids loved the clean pool (we watched them clean it on Wednesday - refilling it with new water ...and it wasn’t even dirty!) and the super easy access to the beach. The adults enjoyed access to the shaded BBQ area with bar style chairs ...given the scorching heat this year, it was nice to be in the shade and yet still outside with seatings. Super easy access to grocery store nearby (with hungry teenagers we would have been broke if not for the kitchen with all the right tools to cook many of the meals). Would suggest you rent a car ...can’t imagine getting around without one. Groceries would be approx 15-20 walk, and in the heat its a bit of a challenge. If walking, Best to do any errands before 7 am otherwise you’ll be nice and melted. We’re right off the highway, so it’s easy to drive to Jaco, only 18 min drive and super easy to Manuel Antonio Park (only 50 min). Would suggest you book online for a tour guide for the Park if you want to see Sloths or Monkeys...it would have been impossible to find them in that jungle without the help of a guide. If you didn’t want to cook, you won’t be lacking in finding restaurants around you ...but keep in mind the Rancho Hotel is the only decent one for breakfast in walking distance. Many of the restaurants are open at 12 pm, unless they’re specifically advertise for breakfast. We showed up to restaurant one day thinking it was open for lunch at 11 :30 am, but they were very strict on opening at noon. The main laundry machine had broken down but we were supplied with laundry service... At some point I think I forgot how clean towels looked like and requested them washed ...and found them washed/ dried/ folded by the lovely caretaker lady that lived behind the property. Place feels very secure with caretakers living at the back, padlock gate and multiple doors with locks, plus a ADT security system. Still, you’re in Costa Rica so always keep your passports with you. I would definitely rebook this place for my next trip.

Good beachfront location

Stayed 2 weeks with 3 couples. Great beachfront location away from the touristy parts of CR, but close to Manual Antonio, Nacuya waterfall & Jaco for fun day trips. The place has a nice pool, outdoor BBQ and shelter to relax in. Great beach walks, boogie-boarding and sunsets. Interior furnishings/decor a bit tired, and beware: no A/C on the main floor, thus very uncomfortable during the hot, humid temps here. Management team and on-site caretakers are excellent and super responsive. Surprisingly good walk-to restaurants & convenience store nearby.

Paradise

This house was perfect for 5 adults. Plenty of comfortable beds, bathrooms, sitting areas., dishes and kitchen utensils. The property was secure and very well maintained by the charming caretakers. It was a delight to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean and wake up to the sounds of birds. So many decisions..... do I swim in the pool, relax in the hammock, play in the ocean, walk to the local restaurants for a delicious meal? It’s all there. And so close to national parks with various tours and hikes. I’m still dreaming of those sunsets.....

Amazing house on a perfect beach

We stayed here for 10 days with my family and had a great time. The house has everything you need and more. Pool is awesome and the beach is right out front. It is located in a small fishing town with friendly locals. Close to jaco if you need anything but far enough away to feel like you are in old, unspoiled Costa Rica. Communication is awesome and Filepe was quick to respond to my concerns. There is good surf right out front and chances are you will be in the line up alone. A little walk to the north will provide some a-frames with more people out if your interested. All in all it was one of the best places I've stayed in during my 25 years of travel to Costa Rica. Book it.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Schrauth

Host profile image
My connection with Costa Rica started 24 years ago when I studied here in college. In 2023, my dream of owning a beachside haven came true. Though my family and I live in chilly Wisconsin, we take great joy in sharing our slice of paradise with fellow Costa Rica enthusiasts. Truly, we want our beach home to be your perfect retreat, filled with warmth, relaxation, and unforgettable memories!

Why they chose this property

Esterillos Oeste is special with alaid-back, small-town vibe, and a golden sand beach perfect for surfing. Free from the hussle and bussle of busier touristy spots, it's ideally situated for easy access to activities and the rainforest. Esterillos Oeste is home to some amazing restaurants and a grocery store for stocking up on essentials. Worries seem to just fade away here - embodying the true pura vida lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

Villa CocoSol will easily become that comfortable beach getaway that you've been longing for. Days are filled with venturing from the pool to the beach and the house has everything you need to make yourself at home. Our friendly caretakers are always available to help with anything you might need—and they're great for securing fresh fish or arranging a fishing tour!
