Private oceanfront villa with beautiful beach, spectacular sunsets

A beautiful house with a rustic charm located above a very private beach, Coco Flotante offers comfortable, elegant indoor and outdoor living spaces and magnificent ocean views.

Ocean breezes and the sound of surf fills a house that offers spectacular sunset views from every room. Eight to ten people can stay here very comfortably, but smaller groups will also find the home's intimate spaces welcoming and well-proportioned. The first floor offers two private master suites with king beds and en suite baths, plus a living room with TV, a well equipped kitchen, and a laundry room. The outside stairs take to the second floor, where a beautifully appointed bedroom with queen bed enjoys its own private floor-to-ceiling ocean views and shares a double vanity bath with the spacious twin bedroom down the hall. The bar and spacious lounge is ideal for watching sunsets.

The heart of the house is its beautifully landscaped outdoor living space, with large open air dining table, hammocks, ranchero, and intimate sitting areas just outside both of the two first-floor master suites. Relax in the infinity pool, nap in a lounge chair with palms rustling overhead, or retreat with drink in hand to a comfortable chair under the shade of the ranchero when the sun is strong.

The location is nothing short of spectacular, with unimpeded views of the Pacific and direct access to two beautiful beaches, which offer sand, surf, snorkeling, and a distinct lack of crowds.

Located little more than an hour from the airport in Liberia, or forty-five minutes from either Tamarindo or Santa Cruz, the village of Junquillal is easily accessible but not overly developed. You won’t find nightclubs and streets lined with shopping here, but if you’re looking for a laid-back, quiet, authentic setting with easy access to all kinds of options, you’ll love it. There are several excellent restaurants in the immediate area. Local tour guides can arrange horseback, zip line, or jungle river tours; and hiking, caving, birding, mountain biking, scuba diving, or deep sea fishing adventures. Just two miles to the north (a half hour walk on the beach) is the world class surf of Playa Negra. Surfing and stand-up paddleboarding lessons and estuary tours are readily available.

A five minute walk brings you to the long, flat expanse of Playa Junquillal and its Turtle Nesting Sanctuary, which has received global recognition. From the lawn of Coco Flotante watch for low tide at Playa Blanca and you’re only two minutes away from fantastic snorkeling. Palo Verde National Park is one hour from the house and Rincon National Park is two. One of Costa Rica’s finest golf courses is located a half-hour away at the luxurious Hacienda Pinilla.

The Spanish-speaking caretakers who live on the premises are friendly and attentive. Please note that there are small dogs on the property. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Outstanding - already rebooked!

We had an absolutely fabulous vacation at this private, quiet, secluded home in Junquillal. The property was immaculately clean and well stocked. The caretakers were helpful and accessible, but we almost never saw them. Their dog is absolutely fabulous and well behaved and I miss him already!The view is unbeatable. The beachwas so much fun… Tide pools and shells and. Stunning views. The stairs are steep, but were not an issue for us. We can't wait to go back!

Nice, even in the rainy season.

Private and discreet, with conscientious caretaker and housekeeper. Best enjoyed by those under 75 years of age. Teens and kids loved it. Very close to good beaches and restaurants.

Perfect getaway for your family

Plenty of room to lounge, relax, and spread out. The pool was the perfect temperature, and very clean. We enjoyed the large kitchen and fridge space as well. Just steps to the beach, truly an oasis.

Fantastic vacation spot

Coco Flotante was the perfect spot for our extended family (3 kids (age 13, 10, 8), 2 parents and 4 grandparents). We have no complaints and would pick here again in a second.

Beautiful Private Getaway

The setting was wonderful, the views were amazing, the house was very private and accommodating for all our needs. The pictures cannot even show how beautiful and authentic this place is with its spanish tiles, private beach setting, areas to relax. This home was great for couples to share or a big family.

Summer in Costa Rica

We were absolutely blown away by our stay here. The views were stunning, and we loved the fun and adventurous walks on the beach. When our daughter stepped on a sea urchin one day, the housekeeper was incredibly helpful as we tried to remove the spines from her foot. She provided a first-aid kit, vinegar, and other medical supplies. Despite the language barrier, she was exceptionally kind and supportive.

Best Stay Ever!

Our family truly enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back again. The house was beautifully decorated and gave our family of five the space we all needed. Gama and Irene, the caretakers, were so very friendly and took care of our every need, while giving us the privacy we needed. And we all feel in love with Duque, the family dog - he joined us on the beach everyday. 😁 The beach was awesome and not crowded and the sunsets were incredible. Book it!

Breath-taking

This was our first trip to Costa Rica . Renting a car was the best for this location! The house was a perfect set-up for families and groups travelling together. The rooms arranged so you have privacy. The upstairs was perfect for a family -with children. Two bedrooms — one large bathroom .

Lovely home

Our extended family stayed at this beautiful home for 2 weeks. It had everything we needed. As others have remarked, the pictures do not do it justice. Maria came every morning and was so kind and efficient. The only thing I would recommend is bringing your own beach chairs if you are planning frequent beach excursions. We hope to return!

The property is set on bluffs above the Pacific affording wonderful sunsets with the constant sound of waves crashing. The house is nice and big, with lots of spots to relax. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms was welcomed. Just a great experience! Everything we expected.

Absolutely amazing!

The view! The hospitality! The character! This place has it all. We loved our stay here, complete with howler monkey sightings and beach fun. Note that the stairs to the beach are steep so those with mobility challenges may need to find another route. I can’t recommend staying here enough…you won’t regret it.

Perfect Spot

If you want the perfect blend of family-friendly spacious house, pool, and ocean with playable beach...this is the place for you. It was more than sufficient for our group of 10, including 6 kids. Property manager was easy to communicate with, and even a minor plumbing issue was addressed quickly. Wish we were still there.

Beautiful Beachfront House

The house itself is wonderful with swimming pool, large kitchen, lots of outdoor seating under the covered patio and private bedrooms with comfortable beds. The pictures honestly don't do it justice. The location is also fantastic. Great views and just down the stairs is a beautiful beach, Playa Blanca. At low tide the snorkeling is surprisingly good and at higher tide we were also able to boogie board. We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it.

Gorgeous house with amazing views! It was even bigger than photos made it appear. You could hear the waves from every room. The beach was also beautiful. You could go for a walk on the beach in either direction. Best sunsets I have ever seen. The location was great and we felt very safe. Gamma and Maria, the caretakers, were fantastic.

A beautiful house and setting!

Coco Flotante is an incredible property where our family of 8, 7 adults & one child ten years old, had a fabulous week. Some enjoyed a fishing charter and surfing, and we all participated in a fun Monkey and Crocodile riverboat adventure with Xplore Costa Rica. Everyone loved the house and the pool where we spent many hours so much that we really didn’t ever need to leave the property. The caretakers next door were wonderful and graciously took care of our every need. Also, the rental manager was very helpful and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Coco Flotante, and we are already planning our next visit there. It is truly Pura Vida!

Four siblings and their spouses getaway

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a very authentic 5+ star Costa Rican experience…. Cozy location, well stocked with kitchen supplies for cooking and eating. Large fridge and separate standup freezer for storing food and drink. Offers lots of outdoor covered locations for lounging, dinning and spectacular views of a secluded beach. Great gathering room with more beach views and most importantly able to watch our favourite hockey teams in the playoffs. Couple of good friendly restaurants within easy walking distance. Wonderful house keeper and amazing property pup.
