Gated Beachfront Community-Jungle Home!

Introducing Las Lagunas, a charming two-story retreat one home away from the breathtaking beach and natural pools of Playa Chiquita. This home sleeps six comfortably, with two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and ample space for relaxation.

Located in a private gated community, Las Lagunas offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. A quick 2-minute stroll brings you to the pristine shores and natural pools of playa Chiquita, and a short walk from your front door leads you to a number of delicious cafes, restaurants and shops. A scenic 15-20 minute bike ride takes you into town, where an array of dining choices and adventure awaits.

Wildlife enthusiasts rejoice! Playa Chiquita is a haven for biodiversity, with sightings of tropical birds, playful monkeys, abundant plant life and colorful butterflies like the Blue Morpho right outside your doorstep. Keep your eyes peeled for sloths lazily hanging from the trees or listen for the melodic calls of howler monkeys echoing through the jungle.

Inside the home, you'll find an airy living space with high ceilings and thoughtful touches throughout. The well-appointed kitchen opens into a spacious living and dining area, ideal for gatherings and meals. Upstairs, the inviting bedrooms feature plush bedding and large windows to invite the refreshing breeze.

Outside, a wraparound porch beckons for lazy afternoons in rocking chairs or peaceful hammock naps. Enjoy alfresco dining under the stars, serenaded by the soothing sounds of the ocean.

Las Lagunas provides all the comforts of home, including high-speed internet, a Smart TV, luxury linens, and a fully-equipped kitchen. For added convenience, a washer/dryer, hairdryer, and beach chairs are also provided for your use.

With parking available onsite and a mid-stay housekeeping visit for stays over 10 nights, Las Lagunas ensures a stress-free getaway.

Fabulous Open Air Villa
Highly recommend for your stay near Puerto Viejo! The property team is incredibly kind and communicative. The area is perfect, as it’s about 10 min drive from the main town so a bit quieter but still with things to do. It’s on a side road with a path directly to the beach. They even had beach chairs and towels which came in handy. When we had a small issue with the dryer, they sent someone right away. I honestly wish we had more time in Costa Rica just to relax on the property!

great place
had a really good time here for 10 nights.Postion of property was spot on,great places to eat and drink nearby and a great little beach a few mins walk away.The property was set in a lovely garden with nice outdoor seating area even had 4 sloths in the tree right out side the house.The place has no air con but really didnt need it as a lovely temperature in the evening and night was maintained in the house by nature,there is a large fan you can use if it gets too hot at night.Lots of noises night and day provided by nature so not a problem for us,Excellent surcurity to the building/grounds and access from the road.Contact by the managment team was excellent and instructions provided for check out set out in a whatsapp messege.All in all a very good break was had.Overall comfort and facilities at the property were good,though the shower in one of the bathrooms probably could to with updating as shower head/pressure not too good,but we just used the other one! thanks nick+sue

Disappointed
We had such high expectations for this property - but unfortunately it fell far from all of these. * From the listing, we had expected that it was a beachfront property. It is not. There is a path to get to the beach (which is great!), but the path is not well maintained and not even really known by the people who helped us check-in. * They say newer build... but the whole house is in different states of disrepair. Examples: All taps spew water all over the place, some where water is almost non-existant. Screens are in a bad condition - we had to use about a full roll of tape to "patch" enough for our stay. We even had to call someone to fix the screen in the kitchen as it was letting racoons in. * Not the cleanest place. We had to wash everything we used in the kitchen. Mold in different places. Storge closet smelled really bad. Poop of some sort on beds (new every day). Credit where credit is due - the overall location was good. Private parking and gated community. Close to shops that we needed and activities we were interested in. The beach nearby was nice. Overall, I would not recommend to a friend.

Great spot away from others
The property is described well in my opinion on VRBO. Very peaceful and secluded with private access to the beach. Main bed wasn't terrible in regards to comfort but i think the bigger bed in the extra room was more supportive. Pillows are quiet flat too, but we have slept on worse. The view outside the main bedroom with the windows open and the birds chirping and the ocean in the background is magical. Also the outdoor furniture was comfortable and great to lounge on while again enjoying the beautiful environment you are in. I noticed the management company in charge of the property was trying to get us to leave early so be mindful of your check out time and be ready to send someone on a motorcycle away 3 hours prior to your confirmed check out time. At least that was my experience, but Pura Vida. This place is highly recommended!!!

We loved the house, location and property. Thank you for the bowl of fruit at our arrival! It would be helpful to have two house keys and we never could get the code to work on the gate at the property. Thank you - we will be back for sure! Pura Vida!

A+ Experience
A beautiful home of extremely interesting architectural details and craftsmanship stocked with top quality accessories, all of which worked! WiFi not the strongest, but likely above average by Costa Rican standards for non-metro areas. Located nearly adjacent to a lovely often private sandy beach free of rocks in the water, Playa Chiquita. The house and neighborhood are well planned to make your stay feel extremely secure. Even the animals running around feel secure and safe to come right up to the porches, including a sloth and baby who passed by on the ground, very slowly...a unique video opportunity. The management team is tops, and couldn't have been more professional. Thanks especially, Fabian. We were extremely pleased with everything we encountered with this vacation destination.

La casa es hermosa, muy cómoda, muy bien equipada, es privada y rodeada de naturaleza. Tiene restaurantes y tiendas cercanas. La comunicación y amabilidad del host fueron excelentes. Mi única observación es que la reservé pensando que tenía acceso a la playa y ya no es así, sugiero cambiar la descripción del inmueble para no causar confusión. La playa está cercana (distancia caminando o en auto), sin embargo para mí, que viajaba con un niño pequeño, hubiese sido más cómodo tener acceso a la playa desde la casa.
