Casa La Palapa
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Perfect for a family vacation or a couples retreat, this beautiful beachfront house has everything you need for your next tropical getaway. Tivives is a port and bay located in the canton of Esparza on the Southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica in Puntarenas Province about 5 miles south of Caldera, and less than an hour from San José. The port town has a vast mangrove swamp, a great sports fishing platform, and a spectacular silver-colored beach. The beach features a point break that breaks to the left and right in a gnarly fashion at a river mouth over a sandy bottom. The area is under the protection of the government so it is largely undeveloped.
Playa Herradura's beaches, Los Sueños Golf Club, and fishing opportunities are all a short drive from this home. The heart of Jacó is a little further from the house, with the famous shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Pastor Diaz Avenue.
This beach house features a private secure gate, beautiful gardens with palm trees, a full kitchen, and an open furnished tv -living room with high ceilings. Enjoy your days in the private outdoor pool and furnished patio just a few steps from your exclusive entrance to the lovely sandy beach of Tivives.
THINGS TO KNOW
This vacation rental is close to a beach and a short drive from a mangrove swamp. As such, raccoons, small crabs, and other animals are likely to be in the area.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 18 years of age to book. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Beautiful property
My family and I stayed at this house and the location is fantastic right on the beach that is very private, we saw very little people on the beach. The house is nice, but was unaware that it is somewhat exposed to outside aka roaches, bugs etc can fly into the main living space. The pool was really nice. The up stairs shower had some issues, but master bath was fine. We ended up using outside shower most of the time. No hot water or warm for that matter. For 4 of us we were only given 4 towels so had to use sparingly. Washer was great to have, but dryer didnt work. Two nearby restaurants that were really good. The “market” nearby is not a market unless you only need chips, ice and beer. No meat or veggies. Linda’s restaurant was fabulous we went a few times on our stay. Its about a 15 min drive to house once you get off the main highway. They gave us a key ring with 10 keys, wish they were labeled so we didnt have to try each key for the many different locked doors on the property. Beautiful yellow tree out front and mango tree. Loved the hammock in the backyard. Black sand beach gets hot and wow lots of trash, pick up what you can to help our environment!

We just stayed at Casa La Palapa from February 17th to 24th and couldn't have been more satisfied. The pictures online don't give the house or property justice. Very clean, very authentic, absolutely perfect beach property to spend some time in the sun with Family or Friends. The 2 bedrooms in the main house were perfect for the kids while the separate villa was just a perfect getaway to give us some privacy from the kids. The pool and pool deck was perfect size and temperature for some relief from the heat and when you're not up for battling the waves and heat on the beach. Tivives Beach was long and scenic. The only negative of the beach was scattered plastic garbage but certainly doesn't take away from its beauty. There does seam to be some type of homeowners association based on the fact there's a guard house and roaming security guards. a garbage picker once a week would be all it would take to keep the beach perfect. The Village of Tivives (10min walk) had a small convenience store perfect for water, ice cream treat or snacks and also a few restaurants nearby that a perfect when you're not up for cooking. No crocodile sightings during the dry season so don't let any reports of crocodiles deter you. Highly recommended property and Vacasa is a great host.

Incredible House
The location is some what out of the way but once you get there you could not be happier. The house itself is absolutely beautiful. The master suite is amazing and the pool tops it off. The beach is a black sand beach and the closest you can come to private. (maybe saw 1 other family the entire trip).
Restaurante Costa linda you must eat at right down the road. It is family owned with some of the best people running it. The food is inexpensive and the quality is exceptional.

Aucun code envoyé pour récupérer les clés. Seul indication etait de les récupérer auprès de lagent de sécurité. Les clés ny etaient pas. Nous avons attendu 1 hr a 1 heure du matin. Maison très belle, cuisine refaite, sdb du 2e étage vétuste, plage non baignable, vagues trop fortes et bcp de débris de bois et plastique. Petite maisonette wow. Epicerie et restaurant a 30 minutes. Terrain et piscine wow.
