Amazing right on the water, BEACHFRONT studio near Tamarindo

We offer a beautiful BEACHFRONT studio in Penca Beach, a magical, secret, small white sand beach only 25min from Tamarindo. This award-winning beach is recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

The studio is located in 1-acre beachfront property beautifully landscaped with palm and almond trees. Ocean breeze coming right up to the house, which is only 10feet away from the beach. Large sliding doors connect the studio with the terrace and the beach.

Penca beach is located in a quiet bay, just in front of Chocoyas Island where guests can enjoy kayaking, stand-up paddle and snorkeling in glassy calm waters. Truly unique to enjoy privacy, connect with nature and find balance.

This large bright comfortable studio comes fully equipped: kitchen, fridge, A/C, internet and hot water. The property is attended by a local couple that provide 24-hours security and cleaning services.

From our spacious terrace, you can watch brilliant sunsets, have breakfast or enjoy watching the sea at day or night. The terrace is decorated with a beautiful Spanish style fountain.

Penca beach has obtained 8 years in a row the award of "Blue Flag Beach", a recognition given to the cleanest beaches of Costa Rica. Accessible to any car. Paved road up to 1mile before the beach. The nearest town is Potrero, located also 1-mile away from the property, it is a beautiful small safe Guanacaste town with grocery shops, restaurants, cantinas, and1 a little church.

No shortage of good restaurant options in the area, with Flamingo and Catalinas only within a 10-minute drive. Other amazing beaches in the area include Conchal, Prieta, Sugar beach or Danta. All quiet white-sand paradises to connect with nature.

No COVID cases reported in the area, however, all cleaning measures are reinforced to ensure our guests are safe and happy.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Blue House. It is small, but had every thing we needed and It sits on a beautiful and quiet beach. Surrounding area is very friendly. We shopped at the nearby markets and ate at nearby sodas. Our hosts were wonderful. Digna and her husband were warm and welcoming. We felt very comfortable.

This property was perfect! The location was amazing and we met Omar and Digna, who take amazing care of the property and also the owners, Gisele and Pedro, who were so warm and welcoming. It truly is a piece of paradise that they all are willing to share. My husband and I can’t wait to come back to this amazing place and spent more time at the beach.

Paradise on Playa Penca

We loved every minute of our stay. We had the beach nearly to ourselves and the sunsets were incredible. It was a short walk to a few nearby (and delicious) restaurants. We also walked into Surfside a few times - maybe a 25 min walk.Digna was very friendly and quickly responded to any questions. The room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Everything was perfect. We hope to return on our next trip to Costa Rica.

The Beach!

The beach is the best part and just steps away from this simple bungalow! Hosts respected privacy but were available if necessary. Amazingly private for a public beach. Loved morning walks and beautiful sunsets. Short walk to town for necessities and good restaurants not far. Would stay there again!

Awesome tucked away little spot

Very private feeling tucked away little spot on the beach. This beach was never overly busy and sometimes we had it all to ourselves! Sandy and clean. This is not located in a tourist hub, but a local neighborhood. Be advised the road in is rough and you will want a high clearance vehicle.

A true jem!

We weren’t really sure what to expect, when we arrived it was more than we were expecting! Dinga and Omar were always so helpful. The grounds are well maintained and the apartment is steps from the beach. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves some days. It was a little tricky to find the first day as Waze couldn’t recognize it but we found it off the map from the website. We will absolutely be back! Pura Vida!
