Walk to Private Beach - Relaxing Playa Chiquita Beach House

Two minutes. That's all it takes to walk from the front porch of Las Lagunas, a lovely private two-story, dual suite home to the gorgeous beach and natural pools of Playa Chiquita. Comfortable, airy, and convenient, this two bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sleeps six in one queen bed, one double bed, one twin bed and an inflatable twin bed option. The home sits just off a gated private beach road in a small enclave of houses in a neighborhood just off the main road in the beach community of Playa Chiquita.

Cycling to town is a 15-20 minute beautiful ride with the beach on one side and the jungle on the other. In town, you will find many amazing restaurants, specialty shops, grocery stores, and adventurous activities to enjoy during your stay. Please check out our "Favorite's Guide" for everything from fabulous breakfast spots to the best bike rentals. The fabulous GypSea café is a great spot for breakfast and only a minute away! Throw your flip flops in a bag and walk along the warm Caribbean waters to Playa Chiquita Paradise for a drink, or take a short bike ride or tuk-tuk taxi into town for a delicious meal.

The home itself is a fairly new build and has plenty of space to relax in the spacious living area with a kitchen, living room, and dining in one large space with tall open beam ceilings downstairs and raised peaked ceilings with exposed beams in the upstairs bedrooms with large screened windows to invite the breeze. The home has a private washer outdoors for your use. The master bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with luxury linens, and large windows that can be opened for a gentle afternoon breeze. The second bedroom has a full and twin bed, large windows, high ceilings, and fans for cooling.

Outdoors, under the wraparound porch, enjoy a lazy afternoon lounging in rocking chairs or napping in the hammock. A simple dining table and chairs await a lovely home-cooked meal under the stars while listing to the gentle sound of the surf.

Las Lagunas is a private home providing a special oasis of comfort, cleanliness, convenience, and desirable features. We have furnished and prepped the home with your comfort in mind. Everything from bath and beach towels, linens, oil, salt and pepper, and even Tupperware has been thought of. The home offers private off-street parking. Any stays over 10 nights include a housekeeping visit mid-stay.

Don't wait! Reserve your dates at this special Puerto Viejo home.

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!

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.
