About this property

Beach Front Condominium in Los Almendros de Ocotal

Los Almendros is a beachfront development on Playa Ocotal; a well-protected 1/3-mile-long beach with black sand at one end and light sand on the other. Playa Ocotal is a clean, safe, beautiful beach. The protected shoreline provides guests a quiet, peaceful place to swim, snorkel and relax.

Los Almendros is beautifully landscaped with three swimming pools, two outdoor barbecues, and a rancho that is perfect for watching the spectacular sunsets. The front office staff will be glad to answer any questions and help arrange activities in the area. This modern, secure, gated community has 44 units.

Our unit, #11 has a view of the Pacific Ocean from the back deck and the front door is just steps away from the pool. It is equipped with cable TV and WI-FI.

Our condo has a full kitchen with everything you need to prepare your own meals. The popular Father Rooster's restaurant on Ocotal Beach is the only restaurant within walking distance. They serve great food and drinks in a casual atmosphere. There are more restaurants, grocery stores, banks, and gift shops in the town of Coco, about 3 miles away ($5 taxi ride).

You can go to sleep to the sound of the waves on the beach in the master bedroom, which has a queen bed, private bathroom, and access to the rear deck. Enjoy watching the birds, monkeys, butterflies, iguanas and other Guanacaste wildlife while you drink your morning coffee on the deck. There is a second bedroom with two twin beds and a second bathroom. All linens are provided. Guests have access to our washing machine and dryer. There are separately controlled air conditioners and ceiling fans in each room.

You can take day trips to experience Costa Rica or have a fun evening in town and then return to relax at Los Almendros. It is the perfect place for a family vacation.

Remote….but close to Father Rooster!
Very nice condo on a steep hill. The condo is across from a small pool (which wasnt always well-maintained, during our 2-week stay). Father Rooster is a fabulous restaurant (11 am - 10 pm), which is within walking distance.

Beautiful place, and location
This is our favorite community to stay in, on Playa Ocotal, it's very safe, with a great location - close to Coco, but quiet and peaceful. This home is immaculate: very clean, well-stocked kitchen, right across from the infinity pool (access to two others), and it's right on the beach. We watched a monkey catch the sunset right in front of the unit. Appreciated the beach towels, and laundry washer/dryer too.

About the host

Hosted by Carol D Lee

Host profile image
The owners are Gordy and Carol Lee. We were both born and raised in Alaska. In 2002, we came to Costa Rica on vacation and bought the condo in Los Almendros. We weren't ready to retire, so we came down for a couple of weeks a year and rented it out so others could enjoy our little piece of paradise. Carol retired in 2006 and lived in the condo while we built a house on the Papagayo Golf Course about 20 minutes away. We moved into our new home in July 2008 and enjoy life in Costa Rica.

Why they chose this property

In February 2002, we came to Costa Rica on a three week vacation. We traveled around the country for a week and then our travel agent had booked us into the Ocotal Hotel for the last two weeks. We are both certified scuba divers and the hotel had a dive shop on Playa Ocotal. We had no intention of buying property when we arrived in Costa Rica. However, we met a realtor who showed us several condominiums, but Los Almendros was the only property that was right on the beach. The other properties had great ocean views, but it was a long hike or drive to the beach. Our condo was under construction when we saw it, and we spent the rest of our vacation learning about buying property in Costa Rica. We still haven't gone scuba diving!

What makes this property unique

Our condo is in Playa Ocotal, which is three miles from the town of Playas del Coco. You can enjoy the amenities in Coco and then sleep peacefully away from the night life. It is a good home base to explore the many activities in the area: Zip lines, fishing, snorkeling, diving, sunset cruises, mud baths, and wildlife tours to name a few. Ocotal beach is quite safe for families with young children. You can have your style of vacation, whether you want to relax and read a book, enjoy dining and dancing in Coco, or experience nature.
