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.

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!

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!

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!

Beautiful views, restful stay
Coco Flotante is absolutely beautiful, the pictures hardly do it justice. We spent two weeks, the first with our grandniece and nephew (9 and 11) and the second with our adult children and friends. The host (Georgina) and the caretakers (Gama and Maria) we all excellent and very helpful. Everything you need is there. The pool is just the right size for adults to hang out or kids to play Marco Polo. It worked well to have a separate floor (we put the younger people up there, the stairs are steep). Well-stocked kitchen, nice seating areas. Be prepared for mosquitos. They appear at dawn and dusk. Once we put mosquito repellant on we were fine. Walks along the beach were excellent. Some of our party did the horseback riding at sunset and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended: Lola's at Playa Avellanas. We spent a day there surfing (or for some of us watching surfing) excellent meals and great umbrella set up ($10/day per chair). Rip tides are no joke, but if you are cautious, body surfing at Junquillal beach was a favorite. TPV's river tour. Loads of monkeys, birds and crocodiles. Nearby dining: Guacamaya Lodge, Tides, and Lochitos. Villa Deevena is pricey but excellent AND, for the wine snobs out there, they have an excellent wine shop and this is the best place to buy wine in the area. We had great time snorkeling with Pargos. He's very knowledgeable and safety conscious. A big THANK YOU to Georgina, Gama, and Maria for making our stay so wonderful.

Wonderful Experience!
Coco Flotante was a private oasis and the perfect size for our family of 8. We loved how secluded the house was, and enjoyed having a private pool and beach access steps from our door. While getting there was tricky (make sure to plug in "Coco Flotante" into your Google Maps or Waze and remember there aren't addresses!), once we did, the caretaker greeted us with open arms. The caretakers live right next door, and are just a door knock away if you need anything. There isn't much to do in the town of Playa Junquillal itself, but we found renting a car and driving to different surrounding locations/excursions (i.e. Playa Negra and Tamarindo) worked great for us. The house itself is perfect for a day in, sunbathing by the pool, and enjoying the views. Remember that you're tucked away in the jungle, so there will be critters - crabs and toads frequently ran through the outdoor deck, and the howler monkeys were active at night. And be sure to bring bug spray (and lots of it!). We liked that there were AC units in almost every room - you definitely need those on during the night. The filtered water unit did not work for us, so we just bought large jugs for the entirety of the trip. If you get the chance, try out one of the local spots nearby for some authentic Costa Rican food (we recommended Lochito's, it's right down the street!). And finally, the sunsets were like none we've ever seen before. We watched them every night, and was an unforgettable experience!

February Coco Flotante
We stayed in the house in February with 4 young kids and 4 adults. Grounds and views were amazing. Caretakers Gama and Irene immediately took care of any issues and the house was very clean all week. Reasonable to expect some WiFi issues in the remote area. We notified Georgina of the issues and he had someone out the next day to upgrade the system. House is not air-tight. We had some bugs, lizards, and grasshoppers all week,. Our four year old had mosquito bites after the first night. Irene said the previous group kept doors open and immediately sprayed the entire house for bugs. This was not a huge issue. Other review mentioned stopping at the Super in Santa Cruz. We stopped, but did not have much success. The super south of Tamarindo was better. A local also recommended the Super Compro in 27 de Abril. Great house. Highlights of the trip were: Snorkeling at adjacent playa blanca, scoping out tide pools everywhere, beautiful sandy playa junquillal, ambiance and pizza at Kon Tiki in Playa Negra, seeing abundant wildlife including monkeys, frogs and a small snake, iguanas, whales, turtles, a starfish and crabs .
