Beachfront vacation rentals in Golfo Dulce

fantastic small house with tranquil and almost abandoned beach at the end of the Costa Rica, just friendly reminder, if you’re not renting the whole house owner is staying downstairs, which was not problem at all

We loved staying again! The location is perfect for us - both on the beautiful beach, and near the point. The house is set up just right to enjoy with friends with large gathering spaces, and still have some space of your own. We appreciate the care taken before arrival - the house is spotless, and has a homey feel with coffee and staples to get you started. Thank you for another terrific extended stay! We'll see you again!

Great location! We enjoyed swimming at sunrise which it was really beautiful accompanied by many Scarlet Macaws and at sunset hours ( we were lucky it was high tide at those hours). All of this just a few steps from the house. Well equipped for cooking. Definitely worth it.

The house is so beautiful! Loved the view and the open concept that makes you feel like you are part of the nature. This was our second stay at the house and we had an amazing time. Kim & Phil are great hosts and very kind. Also their resort up on the mountain Bosque del Cabo is amazing and dinner was fabulous there! The staff was incredibly attentive and takes great care of your your family. Lorena the caretaker of the home was very responsive and kind. Thank you all for a great stay in paradise ! Can’t wait to be back! Pura Vida ❤️🌸

Lapalandia was wonderful!! Just wish we had stayed more nights. It has a huge upstairs balcony with comfy seating and a large outdoor seating area with hammocks looking out over a lush tropical garden, and all things you need in the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas. Two things to be aware of are that the sleeping area is up a spiral staircase and all three beds are in the same room. So if you have to go to the bathroom at night you have to walk downstairs to the bathroom. Totally fine for us, but just in case you don't notice that in the photos! It was great being able to walk down a short path directly to Matapalo beach & King Louis Waterfall. It was also a short walk or drive to Backwash and Pan dulce. We enjoyed some excellent meals at Martina's, Encanta La Vida, Lapa Rios, and Bosque Del Cabo nearby. Highly recommend the hike up to the waterfall from the bridge as well. The host Rodrigo was very welcoming, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond.

We loved the stay at Jamie’s place! The location is perfect walking distance to float the river, yoga, the beach and lots of yummy restaurants. The grounds are a pristine paradise with beautiful trees, plants birds, lizards and the sound of howler monkeys!! We arrived late, Jamie graciously welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed. She’s an excellent host, we felt relaxed and right at home. We highly recommend and would love to come back!

This made for a great little cabina to unwind and relax. Peter's daughter, Alexis, met us there and gave us a run down of things including recommendations of places to go and restaurants and was extremely helpful. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook our own meals also. Even though we were there during the week, I was a bit skeptical about how private the beach would be, but wow, we saw few people on the beach and then traveled over to Rincón Beach and saw no one there. Even though the dirt road runs right in front, you don't really notice it due to all the trees and plants and the sound of the ocean. It sits just far enough from the beach to have privacy but is close enough to walk right out to it.

Excellent location Clear instructions and very good communication with the host

We spent wonderful days in this house. The location right by the beach is perfect. It is quiet , you only hear and see a lot of nature, which is indescribably beautiful. The small pool perfect for cooling. Everything in the house is well equipped. And the hosts are perfect hosts, very warm, right there if you need anything. Always available for help and advice . 12 out of 10 points!!! We loved it!!

YOU MUST GO! That should certainly be the title to this review. I cannot say enough about Sarah’s beautiful space but allow me to try… From the very beginning Sarah was hands down one of the most responsive, caring + attentive hosts. She helped us plan not only our stay at her place but also helped direct our week’s great adventures (surfing, sport fishing, snorkeling, etc.) The home is welcoming + wonderful, you will not be disappointed. It’s close to everything you need but has its own private feel. My kids played in the pool + ocean all week long. We loved that the beach was only steps away. There are water toys, towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards + so many things that help make you feel right at home. Our favorite spot to eat was El Coquito, the pizza was delicious + they delivered. There are many things to do + see so we had to pick + choose but we will be back to keep exploring this sweet haven of Costa Rica. Pack your bags + DO NOT think twice. Playa Zancudo is waiting.

Awesome jungle beachside spot. Great hosts and communication.

An absolute epic spot! you are 30 sec walk to the beach and surf spot, 10 min drive from punta banco. The cabin are super cozy , private and the kitchen has everything you need. I stayed there for a week and Ian & Zara made me feel right at home. Such amazing host, always ready to help with recommendations of surf spot , restaurant, place to buy fresh tuna & fresh shrimps! For anyone on a surf trip this place got to be your first pick! 10/10

Excellent stay and Amanda is a great host. We loved la Palma and the accommodations are set up perfectly. Being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards in the crystal clear, calm bay was a wonderful perk. Several restaurants within walking distance. The town was a short drive away and had everything you'd need - grocery, gas, mechanic, etc

This was our first time renting an Airbnb in a foreign country, so we were a little nervous. Charles was super helpful and responsive during the whole trip. He gave us great recommendations, scheduled our excursions, and answered all of our questions. The main thing we wanted to do was to go offshore fishing. Charles hooked us up with two great captains (Louis and Donald (Dos Mas), and we had a great day of fishing. The house is located just a very short walk from the pier where you catch the boat. There are also several good restaurants that are within a short walk from the house. We also did an off-road drive and a short hike to the King Louis waterfall, tour of chocolate farm, and went surfing with Keilor (Lakos surf shop in town). We would recommend all of these activities highly. This was a great trip and we had a party of 6 from age 7 to 71. The fishing was amazing.

This is our second time staying at the home. It’s absolutely incredible. The beach is never crowded and right at your doorstep. There’s so much to do from snorkeling to fishing to surfing to hiking. Or you can just lounge and do absolutely nothing, surrounded by the beauty of the jungle. It’s everything you could ask for in a jungle setting. Chicky the caretaker is great, very responsive & super friendly. We will be back again.

If this home is available, you should definitely book it! My family and I stayed at this home for one week and enjoyed everything about it. The home is very private, safe and located on a spacious, beautifully landscaped property. The pool is a wonderful addition, especially for children. We loved the awning over the pool for shade, and sun. The outside terrace area is great for BBQing and relaxing in the hammocks. We loved the quirkiness of the home. It's an older Costa Rican home, but it has everything you need with hot water, AC, and solar panels - so even when the power went out all over Pavones we still had lights and AC. We slept very well in these beds (the room upstairs is bright, but the downstairs room is black-out). The kitchen is fully equipped, easy for cooking meals. The location was top-notch, easy to drive down to Pavones or Pilon for surfing. Last but not least, Valentine is a wonderful host and goes above and beyond. We definitely want to come back! 5 stars!

Aaron was very friendly and available. He made us breakfast every morning (even very early!) The accommodation is good with a very pleasant setting, steps away from the ocean. There's no hot water in the shower but it's not at all disturbing, given the heat. Indeed there is a power and wifi outage at night but which is not disturbing because they come back on at breakfast time Be sure to have a 4*4, to be able to access the listing

House is in a great location. Just a short walk from the beach and easy access to the main peak. Very traditional tico style house.

Paz is a special place and Roberto is a wonderful host. The floor to ceiling screens in the living room/dining room situate you right in the secondary forest. Heaven for nature loving bird nerds. If you’ve spent time on the Osa before, you know Howler monkeys wake you at 4:30am. We watched howler, spider, and squirrel monkeys from bed. The beach is a minute walk. A covered porch with hammocks and chairs to enjoy the beautiful Gulfo Dulce. And a small pool to cool off in (key) and watch Macaws, capuchin monkeys, hermit crabs & the waves. We bought groceries in Puerto Jimenez and cooked most of meals for the week. Kitchen has big fridge, sharp knives, and worked well for us. Marluna Lodge (5 min drive) for Taco Tuesday. Visited local surf breaks and surfed the right point break out front of Paz. Tide dependent. Roberto can help you figure it out. Roberto was very attentive, warm, and helpful. He’s created a beautiful space in a beautiful part of the world.

Gilles place is magical. I loved every minute of my month long stay there and was incredibly sad to leave. The views are incredible and the wildlife is abundant I don’t surf but the beaches here are delightful for long walks and I really enjoyed taking dips in the cool river and floating in the tide pools. I loved the daily workout of climbing the steep hill but if you are not very fit you’d be wise to rent a 4x4 or an ATV to get around during your stay. Lastly, Gilles presence on the property was an added bonus! He has lived in the area for a long time and offers great suggestions. He is very respectful of your space / privacy but quick to respond to questions and consistently jovial if you happen to see him outside. Highly recommend!!!

Angelica was the best host and this place is our most cherished memory of our last trip in Costa Rica! The deluxe bungalow is a beautiful, very peaceful and very comfortable place. The huge window screens looking into the jungle is magical, the place is very well built with beautiful materials. After trooping around we could regroup for a few days there and it was heaven! We extended our stay because we didn’t want to leave! Angelica is super kind and helpful, she was always available for our questions and had great suggestions and solutions for things we needed. We had the absolute best time! Thank you very much!

Great place to stay!!

We have had the most wonderful stay at this super little beach house. Everything we needed and in a stunning setting … so our planned couple of days was quickly extended to a week once we realised how lucky we were to find it. For anyone wanting a restful, quiet and beachfront property to enjoy time in this beautiful country will be delighted here. The wildlife in the gardens have really made the stay special too. Sonny has been a great host . Communications were excellent and he’s been a great source of local knowledge for a few treats. Certainly a gem of a place with a sociable and thoughtful host.

This was our family’s 5th trip to Pavones . We like to try different places and locations . Giselle’s home was beautiful , spacious and very comfortable. We had a smaller group and it didn’t feel overwhelming as it’s a big place . Outdoor spaces were amazing , and a quick walk to essentially a private beach . (Only saw 1 person over 8 days ) a short walk to La Pina restaurant for a pizza or dinner and only 3-5 minutes from various spots near Pavones point. I will say this was perhaps the most well equipped kitchen and linens we have experienced yet . Oliver the caretaker was quite helpful and his English is fair . Overall a very positive experience. Pura Vida Steven
