About this property

Beautiful bungalow set in a beach front tropical garden

Casa Marisa is a very beautiful, uniquely designed comfortable house. It is set within a large, private, tropical garden with direct access to the golden sands of the famous Cocles beach. This house is one of the few in the area to be situated in a highly prized beach front plot, as most are situated on the other side of the road. Casa Marisa is steps away from the beach and ocean. The beautifully maintained tropical garden and surrounding jungle are home to a wealth of wildlife. This house is a two bedroom, 2 bathroom bungalow and comfortably sleeps 4 people. The unique design of the house provides tranquility and privacy.
The house is securely fenced and alarmed. There is a safety deposit box supplied for your convenience.
It is surrounded by lush vegetation and wildlife. Guests can truly relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. However, it is also perfectly situated close to the amenities of Cocles and only minutes away from the vibrant town of Puerto Viejo.

The house is within easy walking distance of restaurants, cafes and grocery stores and it is only an 8 minute drive to Puerto Viejo. It is an ideal vacation spot for people who want to relax to the sound of the waves and jungle. Nature surrounds and enhances the house, whilst maintaining high standards of comfort and design.

There is also self contained 1 bedroom house located on the same site called Casa Caracola. This property sleeps 2 people and it is perfect for couples. Please see the separate listing 262998 for further details.
PLEASE INQUIRE FIRST BEFORE BEGINNING ONLINE BOOKING.

Privacy & Relaxation in Punta Cocles
Casa Marisa and Casa Caracola exceeded our expectations! The descriptions and pictures do not do them justice. Comfortable, welcoming and relaxing - and merry steps to the (nearly) private beach. We fell asleep to the sound of the Carribean Sea every night. We walked to beach clubs and restaurants, and drove 700m for groceries. Secluded, yet close enough to the action in Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo. We absolutely loved our stay!

Responsive Service
We arrived early and were allowed to check in, which was very helpful to us. We asked for an extra fan and this was also received. We appreciated this as it was very, very warm during our stay. The location being right on the beach was super convenient. We rented the bikes on the property and this was the ideal way to get around. Grocery stores and several good restaurants were very close. There was even a locally owned fruit stand at the end of our street. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Family Vacation
This property is excellent! The biodiversity of the area was in full display at all times. It was peaceful and isolated with the sound of the ocean constantly present. If we wanted great food we only had to walk a short distance to numerous restaurants. The beach is equally as accessible. Thomas was a great host and took the time to give us a few ideas of things we might enjoy in the area. I highly recommend this property.

Magical
The property is the perfect paradise location. It sits in the jungle with a short path to the beach. Such a thrill to watch the monkeys climb the canopy of trees over head each morning. At night we were rocked to sleep with the ocean waves. The beach is very private and pristine and the people of Costa Rica are lovely and so helpful. Plus, I cannot even begin to describe the food. Everywhere we went was amazing. Thomas, our host was accessible and knowledgeable about the property and Costa Rica. A great soul. I wanna go back!!!

Spacious, great location
This home was spacious & in a great location as it was between the main road & the beach & very secluded & we saw sloths & monkeys right out the back door. I would have preferred A/C in the bedrooms as it was very warm for sleeping for us & we couldn't escape the heat & humidity. My "heads up" info (please don't take as strictly complaints, just info I wish I had known before booking/arriving) if you are looking at staying here are: No screens in windows, so they say open windows for sleeping, but you will have bugs fly in. Doors & windows are not sealed & therefore we had ants, geckos, small crabs & frogs come into the house. There is no cleaning service & you have to bring laundry off site. No "supplies" as far as shampoo, etc & they do not restock dish soap, toilet paper, etc if you run out. The contact person, Thomas, was amazing & super responsive though when we needed water tank switched over & a new toaster, as well as provided information when asked very promptly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but can't say with 100% certainty I would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Costa Rica offers a wide variety of spectacular terrain , animals and plants. With its unique location it boasts both Pacific and Caribbean coast lines. The Caribbean Coast offers a more relaxed friendly holiday with the added excitement of some extreme sports, for those who want to venture away from the delicious local food, drinks and beach. There are many reasons why Puerto Viejo is known as the most happening town on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. There is so much to see and do here, but far and away the overall vibe here is the 'pura vida' that Costa Rica is so famous for. So whether you come to relax under the palms on one of Puerto Viejo's beautiful beaches or try and tackle the surf at Salsa Brava (just 100 yards away) or Cocles, there is also great snorkelling and diving in the areas active coral reefs. Or how would you like to hike and bike through the jungle? There is also excellent white-water rafting in the area. It is all possible here.

What makes this property unique

Cocles Beach is the winner of the highly coveted Costa Rican government Blue Flag for pristine beach and is the only lifeguard-protected beach on the Caribbean Coast. The golden sands meet the warm Caribbean ocean and from the beach no buildings are visible. This beach has both great surfing at one end and safe swimming for families with children at the other. Please note that the route to the beach from the beach gate goes through a small strip of jungle (about 5-8 metres in width). This is national park and therefore cannot be cleared, so at times it can be over grown. If guests have mobility issues, the beach can be easily accessed from the main house gate, where the beach can be reached by just a short two minute walk along a small lane.
