Amazing right on the water, BEACHFRONT studio near Tamarindo

We offer a beautiful BEACHFRONT studio in Penca Beach, a magical, secret, small white sand beach only 25min from Tamarindo. This award-winning beach is recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

The studio is located in 1-acre beachfront property beautifully landscaped with palm and almond trees. Ocean breeze coming right up to the house, which is only 10feet away from the beach. Large sliding doors connect the studio with the terrace and the beach.

Penca beach is located in a quiet bay, just in front of Chocoyas Island where guests can enjoy kayaking, stand-up paddle and snorkeling in glassy calm waters. Truly unique to enjoy privacy, connect with nature and find balance.

This large bright comfortable studio comes fully equipped: kitchen, fridge, A/C, internet and hot water. The property is attended by a local couple that provide 24-hours security and cleaning services.

From our spacious terrace, you can watch brilliant sunsets, have breakfast or enjoy watching the sea at day or night. The terrace is decorated with a beautiful Spanish style fountain.

Penca beach has obtained 8 years in a row the award of "Blue Flag Beach", a recognition given to the cleanest beaches of Costa Rica. Accessible to any car. Paved road up to 1mile before the beach. The nearest town is Potrero, located also 1-mile away from the property, it is a beautiful small safe Guanacaste town with grocery shops, restaurants, cantinas, and1 a little church.

No shortage of good restaurant options in the area, with Flamingo and Catalinas only within a 10-minute drive. Other amazing beaches in the area include Conchal, Prieta, Sugar beach or Danta. All quiet white-sand paradises to connect with nature.

No COVID cases reported in the area, however, all cleaning measures are reinforced to ensure our guests are safe and happy.

Excellent anniversary stay
Digna is the best. She easily accommodated our requests—all through WhatsApp. I am not used to using WhatsApp, but it was definitely the de facto in this area of Costa Rica!

The Beach!
The beach is the best part and just steps away from this simple bungalow! Hosts respected privacy but were available if necessary. Amazingly private for a public beach. Loved morning walks and beautiful sunsets. Short walk to town for necessities and good restaurants not far. Would stay there again!

This property was perfect! The location was amazing and we met Omar and Digna, who take amazing care of the property and also the owners, Gisele and Pedro, who were so warm and welcoming. It truly is a piece of paradise that they all are willing to share. My husband and I can’t wait to come back to this amazing place and spent more time at the beach.

Awesome tucked away little spot
Very private feeling tucked away little spot on the beach. This beach was never overly busy and sometimes we had it all to ourselves! Sandy and clean. This is not located in a tourist hub, but a local neighborhood. Be advised the road in is rough and you will want a high clearance vehicle.

Great stay and location!!
Cabina Azul was exactly what you see...absolutely paradise. It was the perfect location to see many beaches and towns if you have a car. We loved eating at the local sodas, shopping at the superminis and drinking at the local outdoor bar was a great experience. I would definately stay again.

Private Beachfront Paradise!!!
We LOVED our stay at Cabina Azul!! We were in awe by how beautiful and private this little gem was. The white sandy beach is literally steps away from your door. Watching the sunset on the beach with a glass of wine was truly amazing! The studio was spotless and had all the amenities we needed, and a brand new BBQ. Digna and Omar were very kind and accommodating, enjoyed our little chats. Thank you! We had a very relaxing stay! Hasta Luego Costa Rica

Right on the Beach
I have never have stayed right on the beach. With this vrbo, we did. Omar, the caretaker, was awesome. If we had any concerns, he was there to help us. It felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. It was also a nice touch to have a mini-tent set up to keep us in the shade. This came in handy with Costa Rican hot sun. Would definitely return.
