You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Jungle Serenity by the Sea

Welcome to your own slice of the Caribbean jungle — a place where mornings begin with the sound of howler monkeys (congos) and evenings fade into ocean breezes beneath a moonlit sky.

Located in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Playa Negra, just a 7-minute drive from downtown Puerto Viejo, the home offers quiet seclusion while keeping you close to everything the area has to offer. (Please note: there may occasionally be light construction noise in the neighborhood.)

This isn’t your average rental — it’s a true home.

After living here for three years, I’ve filled it with comforts, warmth, and thoughtful touches that most short-term rentals simply don’t have. You’ll feel the difference — everything here was designed to be lived in and loved.

The space is unique and art-filled, an eccentric haven surrounded by tropical gardens and a spacious fenced yard. With one bedroom and two bathrooms, it’s peaceful, private, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

You’re close to incredible beaches, markets, cafés, and jungle adventures — yet far enough to feel completely at ease.

The congos are calling… welcome home. 🌴
