Spectacular Ocean View, beachfront with 3 swimming pools, snorkel gear included

Spend your day at the “Blue Flag” beach, by one of three pools or take an excursion to one of the many adventures available. We do our best to make it easy for all our guests.
Los Almendros is an upscale, beachfront development on Playa Ocotal's northern shore. This modern gated community has 43 privately owned condominiums and 24 hour security. It is the only development right on Ocotal beach. The development has 3 swimming pools, 2 outdoor barbecues and a covered gazebo. Condo 42 is the end unit on Los Almendros' premium front row. The condo's rear patio is located directly above a small tropical forest. The patio has a beautiful ocean view. It also provides nature lovers an excellent vantage point to observe many colourful birds, howler monkeys, and other amazing wildlife living in the trees below. It is a short 2 minute walk down the hill from the condo to Ocotal Beach.

Our condo is rated as one of Los Almendros' superior rental units. This condo is Los Almendros' most popular and best equipped two bedroom unit. We offer many extras to our guests that enable them to have a more memorable and relaxing vacation:
1) Beautiful ocean view
2) Very quiet and private. No condos above or below. No passing auto traffic
3) Screened rear patio with overhead fan and light
4) 42 inch sony flat screen television, dvd player and bluetooth music speaker
5) Well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar
6) Tastefully decorated with art and pottery
7) Three independently controlled split level A/C units (living room, and both bedrooms)
8) Hermex safe (combo set by guest)
9) Deadbolt locks on all exterior doors
10) Wall mounted hairdryers in both bathrooms
11) Covered, secured parking a few steps from the front door
12) linens and towels provided

Our condo is the only 2 bedroom rental unit with a screened rear patio. In the evening guests can relax and listen to the ocean surf without being bothered by insects attracted by the overhead light. The ability to use the patio day or night greatly increases the condo's living space.

Outstanding swimming and snorkeling: Playa Ocotal is one of Guanacaste's quietest and cleanest "Blue Flag Beaches". The ocean surf is very gentle. Travel guides recommend Playa Ocotal to outdoor enthusiasts who want to snorkel from a Guanacaste beach. Snorkelers drive many miles to explore the rock formations at both ends of Playa Ocotal Beach. Playa Ocotal's best snorkeling is directly below Los Almendros. On most days, you can see numerous species of colorful tropical fish including angel fish, game fish, eels, octopi, puffer fish, rays and many more, in Playa Ocotal's tranquil waters.

Playas del Coco is Guanacaste's fastest growing beach community. The town is a 5 minute drive from Los Almendros. A taxi is fairly inexpensive to town. Coco has modern grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, ATM machines, many restaurants, ice cream shops, many bars/pubs, souvenir shops, and an emergency medical facility. You’ll even find small grocery stores and family restaurants on the way to Coco from condo.

Excursion planning: Playa Ocotal is a great location from which to initiate day trips. Los Almendros has an experienced bilingual office staff that assists guests in making reservations for deep sea fishing, diving, snorkeling, sailing, rafting, tubing, zip lining, massages, hiking, bird watching, hot springs, rain forest tours, volcanoes, canopy tours, and horse back riding. There is multiple dive companies located in Coco for any scuba enthusiasts.

Father Rooster's restaurant is one of Ocotal's most popular restaurants and it is located about 100 meters from the entrance of Los Almendros. It is located right on the beach and is open for lunch and dinner. It is a great place to enjoy a delicious tropical drink, enjoy a meal and take in the fabulous sunset.

Transportation: A car is nice to have but not a necessity in Costa Rica. Taxis from Los Almendros to Coco are fairly inexpensive Bilingual tour operators provide affordable transportation from Los Almendros to Guanacaste tourist attractions. Taxi service is available to and from Liberia airport.

Bicycles: We provide our guests with two cruisers. Both bicycles have a basket and a comfortable saddle seat.

Perfect Rental
This accommodation provided an exceptional stay. The unit was impeccably clean and secure, with 24/7 on-site security. Communication with the owner was excellent. While we had our own snorkeling gear, the property offered a variety of sizes for guests to borrow, which proved invaluable when my husband lost a fin. The stunning ocean view and efficient air conditioning made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The convenient path leading directly to the beach was a highlight, and we discovered that the best snorkeling was right at our doorstep. The nearby town offered a charming atmosphere with numerous dining and entertainment options. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations and provided a memorable experience.

A wonderful stay
We spent a wonderful 9 nights in this nicely appointed, beautifully located condo. I was very surprised at the variety of snorkeling gear that was made available, plus copious amounts of other nice beach gear available to us. This spot is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, but very close to Coco when you want to go in for a little night life. There was plenty of cookware for us to enjoy the fresh fish and other meats available at the local markets, something this semi-foodie family loved.

Beat high expectations!
We chose this condo because of the location but also the kayaks, snorkeling gear and bicycles. All the gear made the condo a real bargain. We appreciated the welcome bag of coffee and that there was laundry detergent (we did not have our own vehicle but took a taxi to Playa del Coco for a meal and groceries every other day). The kitchen was well stocked. Our children enjoyed watching some of the dvd's in the evenings when they tired from all the fun activity of the day. The beach and pools were an excellent combination. The water was clean and warm in both locations and close by. The house also had nice clean hot water with a great rainforest shower! We enjoyed seeing and hearing the howler monkeys in the tree right next to the deck. The property manager, Mark, was terrific at communication from the very start providing helpful information. Thanks to the property and Mark for an excellent start to our vacation.

Most Memorable Family Vacation
We stayed from July 4th to July 11th 2024 and had the best time. Mark was in contact with us from the time of booking until the end of our vacation. He gave us some great information and tips which we took full advantage of during our stay. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and more. We will definitely be back again in the future! Trip Favs - The Monkey Bar is a must! It is about a 30 min drive and you will want to go early in the morning to see/feed then monkeys. Marcy's half day boat tour is also a must. He is very knowledgeable and knows all of the good spots to see wildlife. Highlights were swiming with the sea turtles and the dolphins in the wake of the boat. Mystic Rides Boat Trips Coco Beach.

Relax away from the crowds
We loved our stay at this condo. We ended our stay here and were looking to relax. This place fit the bill. It was a short, if a little steep, walk to the beach. A few times we were the only people on the beach. At its busiest it was never crowded. We hit the markets and took advantage of the well stocked kitchen. Father roosters was great for the occasional drink or dinner. The facilities pools were very nice. All the things you might want for the beach is provided. We had a great stay and highly recommend this if you are looking for a nice clean and quiet beach.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica. We toured different areas of Costa Rica for first few days of our arrival (La Fortuna and Bijagua). Our stay at Mark and Cheryl's property was perfect! The view, the beach, nearby amenities were perfect for the last 4 days of our one week stay. We can't wait to come back and stay longer next time! Definitely want to spend more time in this area. Coco was good to visit for some great Happy Hour specials and good food and entertainment. The pools and Father Roosters close by were a great option too. Great communication and information from Mark, like others have said the condo is perfectly equipped with everything you need.

Had a wonderful stay at Mark and Cheryl’s condo. Mark is beyond helpful. Always quick to communicate. Gave us several amazing tour recommendations. Memo from Memo Adventures was fantastic. The snorkel/beach tour we did with pelicano sports fishing was awesome too. Condo is well equipped. Has every thing you need. The snorkel closet overflowed and we took advantage and snorkeled in the little tidal pool right down the hill from the condo. Kayaking was wonderful. Didn’t use the bikes, but nice to have them available. Small pool closest to the condo felt like our own private pool as no one was ever there. Father Rooster’s was yummy. Live music twice during the week we were there. So fun dancing on the beach. The showers are wonderful. Mark and Cheryl thought of everything. Even a black washcloth in the bath to use for makeup removal (I hate getting makeup on white clothes). Stay here. You won’t be disappointed Tracey Landenberg PA

Exceptionally Wonderful Experience!
I am so thankful we chose this Vrbo! The condo has everything you need for living and recreation. It’s a 1 min walk to the gorgeous beach with clear waters and great snorkeling! 1 of the 3 pools is just a hop and skip from the condo and all of them are convenient. You are surrounded by trees, flowers, and wildlife! We saw so many birds, friendly iguanas and monkeys! We enjoyed our coffee on the patio every morning watching the birds and monkeys and listening to the waves on the beach. It’s paradise! Father Roosters is right on the beach by the condo and they have great food, beverages (great piña colada!) and live music! To get into Coco Beach it’s a $10 taxi ride and the condo staff at the gate call them for you. Good restaurants and shopping in Coco and Culture. We also used Memo Adventures 2 of the days and did zip lining, horseback riding, water slides in the forest, swimming in waterfalls and an ecopark where we saw so many sloths, frogs and more. Really, this location has it all and the hosts are the best! The condo has local art and some hand painted pictures by one of the hosts that are beautiful. Booking this Condo made our trip incredible.

Beautiful condo with views of a picturesque bay. Clean and neat as a pin. Mark is an awesome host. He made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The condo is very well stocked with beach gear. He even gave us access to his kayaks and bicycles! Getting into the gated property was a breeze. Four howler monkeys provided a welcome chorus at sunset on our first night but stopped after a few minutes and certainly weren't a nuisance or anything. Just couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our first visit. Highly recommend!! Pura vida!!

Beautiful location
We spent an amazing week at Los Almendros. We communicated with Mark before booking and we were very pleased with the communications. Mark answered all our questions before we booked and was an amazing host, providing us with all sorts of valuable information before we got there. As an owner, I would give him a 10* if I could. One of the best VRBO host we've had the pleasure of dealing with, and we use VRBO a lot. The unit is great, exactly as you see in the pictures. It's spacious, clean, comfortable beds and everything you need in the kitchen. The screened in porch is the best! All amenities, inside and outside the condo, were great. Monkeys, birds, iguanas right there, even a resident Tiger Heron at pool #2 that is very interesting to watch. Lots of snorkel gear, chairs, sun shade, beach towels, coolers... everything you need! We loved the condo complex and used 2 of the 3 pools, met some great people along the way. The beach is great, smaller but much quieter than Coco or Hermosa. We had a rental car and toured around, to see more of the surrounding areas. We didn't use the kayaks... I don't how we would have carried them up and down the hill :-) This is not a location for people with mobility issues. We are in good shape and the hill was steep, especially when the heat is at its peak! Staff at the reception were great and Carlos is super nice. Thank you Mark for opening your place to us and allowing us to discover Playa Ocotal. What a treat it was!

Relaxing, Peaceful & Friendly
What a great spot! The view each morning and evening was wonderful to take in. It is a beautiful quiet haven and is only a 10 minute ride to the busier del Coco. The host has thoughtfully arranged and supplied almost everything you might need (snorkel gear, chairs, generously supplied kitchen utensils, the list goes on). Lots of good spots to watch the sunset and a few other beaches to walk along as well. We liked Playa Ocotal as we weren’t bothered as much by vendors. Restaurants: Father Roosters on the beach is another awesome feature. In del Coco you have to go to Sol et Fuente - a unique experience. The Look Out at the top of one of the hills is pretty awesome too (5minite drive). We met lots of really nice people who either owned or rented at Los Almendros. They were all very friendly and welcoming. The staff were very attentive and informative. The grounds and upkeep are well managed. Honestly, we’ll be back again and would recommend this place to anyone.

We had a great week in paradise. Mark was by far the best host; great communications and extremely responsive. His recommendations were very helpful. The condo was well stocked (especially all the beach gear) and comfortable. Loved our time on the patio, especially watching the sunsets. We enjoyed the infinity pool and the larger pool on site and countless hours on the beach. The hike up to the condo provided great exercise every day. Memo was amazing to work with. He provided transportation to and from the airport and took us to the Sloth Sanctuary - great tour. We enjoyed Father Roosters for drinks and food on the beach and Mar Azul and Sugoi for dinners. We highly recommend Mark and Cheryl’s home! Pura Vida!
