We have coolers, towels, beach cart, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs to make your beach day more relaxing.

Begin your day with the sand between your toes or listen to the waves roll up on the beach from the patio or balcony and enjoy spectacular sunsets on the front patio. You'll see and hear howler monkeys in the trees right outside! If the pool is more your thing, just hang back and relax in the amazing pool on the property and grill area located within steps from the home. We have plenty of pool toys/air mattresses/chairs, etc. located in our home to enjoy your pool time. Also, located steps away from the world famous Father Rooster restaurant where you can dine or just enjoy a cocktail while viewing the ocean and sunrises and or sunsets!

Located only 7-10 minutes, by car, from Playas del Coco where you will find colorful shops, delightful restaurants, medical facilities, supermarkets, attractions, and nightlife.

You'll love this cozy 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom space with the upgraded features, including granite counters, stainless steel appliances, large pantry, tile floors, comfy beds including a king bed and 2 queens and black-out curtains for a perfect sleep, ceiling fans, air conditioning in each room, washer/dryer in the unit, smart TVs, cable and WiFi, which can provide guests or flexcationers with the ability to work remotely or complete online assignments while in Paradise!

Coco Bay Estates is a short bike ride or car ride (only about a 1.5 miles from our villa or 10 min. car ride). The home is located 30-35 minutes from the Liberia International Airport.

If you like to be active, it's fun to get around on foot or bicycle or golf cart (which both can be rented). If you want to venture to the jungle or other sites, you can easily arrange a tourist shuttle or rent a car. Rental cars do require you to purchase the mandatory insurance and will place a hold on your credit card which will be returned after you return the car, if no damages.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

We also have a local property manager who will take care of any requests while the guests are staying in our home. Our home is only 30-35 minutes from the Liberia International airport (LIR). If you are a military Veteran, we currently offer a 10% discount! Let us know at booking as Veterans are very special to the owners of this villa as they are Veterans themselves.

The health of our guests is vital to us. This is why, given the current conditions worldwide, regarding the Corona-virus and its possible consequences on people's health, our property management company is doing everything possible to ensure your safety while staying in your 'home away from home.' We still closely follow all COVID-19 enhanced cleaning and disinfection protocols in collaboration with government, travel industry, and medical experts.

Great Home Base Near Coco Beach

We ended our 12 day Costa Rica Tour. Terrific location, great property managers, well stocked kitchen, towels. Nice pool. We really enjoyed the snorkeling, rock climbing and sun sets on the beach- Father Rooster's is a great place for food or drinks.

Great location and accommodations

Terrific, quiet location and great staff on sight. The home was perfect and more than we expected. Large bedrooms and bathrooms, with a great kitchen and living space. We enjoyed the quick and easy walk to the beach in the mornings and then relaxed by the pool in the late afternoon. Relaxation came easy! Pura Vida!

Another great trip to a fabulous location. This home is in a quiet location just steps from a great beach, Playa Ocotal. The home has everything we needed to make this trip memorable and Lisa/Cheryl were fabulous to work with in planning our tours and answering all our questions. Definitely consider this home in your plans to visit Costa Rica!

Great location and very responsive & helpful!

We enjoyed this property very much and its easy location to the beach, the resort club, Father Roosters as well as short drive into town to get groceries, shop or try local food. Sebastian was so responsive and helpful when we had questions. We greatly appreciated the assistance in setting up our rental car, the private boat tour (HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS - for all ages!) and surfing lessons in Tamarindo. We had found the house VERY well stocked and clean. Our kids are 17, 15 and 9 and there was something for everyone! We saw monkeys playing in the trees on the property and tons of different birds too. Thanks Sebas and crew!

Tranquility near the beach

We loved our stay at Vista Ocotal - the only complaint is we could not stay longer. There was nothing we did not love about our stay here. It is close to town, ammenities and attractions (we had a car). The property indoors and outdoors was perfect for our family and we always felt safe. Father Rooster (nearby restaurant) was delicious with a beautiful beach front location. Holly was most helpful from the planning at the beginning to the end of our stay. Without a doubt we would both recommend this location and stay here again.

Great house, great location!

Stayed with my family and my daughters friend. Had a 3 bedroom, 3 bath. House was very clean, really well stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc and even some condiments. We all truly enjoyed the house, the location, the pool and even barbecued one night. The beach is a short walk down the street. Ate at Father rooster quite a bit when we weren’t cooking at the house. All in all had a wonderful time and would def visit again and hope to stay at the same location.

Perfect vacation

We stayed at Vista Ocotal for 9 nights over Christmas and New Years. From the moment we booked our holiday, we felt welcomed by Pam, who greeted us with emails and information about the property. Leading up to our trip, Pam was happy to answer all of our questions and put us in contact with Sebastián, the property manager. When we arrived, Sebastian greeted us at the property and gave us a quick overview of the property. During our stay, Sebastian was happy to help us book transportation into Coco or to Diamante Eco Adventure Park. When we had a problem with the air conditioning, he promptly arrived at the property with a technician to fix it. When it still wasn’t working, he returned to the property and fixed it immediately with a quick flick of the breaker switch. This truly says a lot about the quality of care as he could have easily instructed us to do this over messaging. Our stay at Vista Ocotal was amazing. The villa is so well equipped! Each day we discovered something new in the villa. The beach chairs are super comfortable. One of the four chairs is missing a screw at the back, it is still comfortable to sit in, but you have to be careful twisting in it. We hope these chairs, or similar ones are there next year as they were so great for the beach! Ocotal is a fantastic area. The beach is perfect for walking and the rocky outcroppings at either end are fun to explore. We loved seeing the eagle rays swimming, watching the howler monkeys move along the beach trees, and were even fortunate enough to see a sea turtle one morning. Each morning we loved being woken by the howler monkeys communicating with each other, the birds chirping, and the beautiful sun shining. Sitting on the patio to enjoy coffee and breakfast while listening to the natural sounds was always enjoyable. We spent most of our time on the beach; however, the pool area was lovely for the late afternoons. We didn’t visit the Coco beach club this trip, as we loved our area; however, we may go on a future trip. When visiting Vista Ocotal, don’t forget to go to Father Rooster. We loved the food and the amazing staff! Oh, and definitely enjoy a Tica Linda to drink!! We also loved Diamante Eco Adventure park and highly recommend a day there! We absolutely loved our vacation in Costa Rica and can’t wait to return to Vista Ocotal next year! Thank you for everything.

Very clean and better than expected!

Very clean and well-maintained high-quality house. The beach is a three minute walk. The beach is one of the best that we went to and has small waves, and actually the best snorkelling out of four different ones. The one pool is only 20 m from the back door and then there’s another pool two blocks away and the third pool which is the club with tennis courts is a five or 10 minute drive away.

This was a great condo in a great location. Well equipped for our family. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, beach chairs and plenty of room for our family of 6. The a/c worked well and the property itself was well kept, the pool was clean and it is just a short 2 minute walk to the beach.

Lovely vacation rental

We really enjoyed our stay at Seaside Serenity. Location was close to the beach and Father Roosters restaurant. We snorkelled at the beach. Gated development with a nice pool. Staff very friendly as well as their sweet pups. Villa is fully stocked including toilet paper and soaps etc. So nice to have that ready for us when we arrived. Beach towels, chairs, and everything you will need is here. Pam and Sebastian were great to deal with and Sebastian even set up a wonderful fishing trip for us. The only improvement that I would suggest would be a propane bbq at the villa or at the pool. The one at the pool is a charcoal one. We did see some villas that had propane bbqs. Hoping to visit again one day!

Home away from home

Our stay at seaside serenity was fantastic. Pamela, the property manager, was very personable and kept in contact once in a while to make sure everything was to our liking. Due to bad weather we were 2 days late getting to the Villa. A day after our arrival I received a note from Pamela letting us know that we were being reimbursed for the 2 days missed. Very impressive! In Costa Rica Sebastian was a phone call away if we had any questions. The Villa was lovely, spacious, had everything you could need and more, and was very close to the ocean and Father Rooster’s restaurant. Our whole group truly enjoyed our stay here. It really is a home away from home.

One month of pure bliss!

My husband and I rented a house for the month of January and couldn’t have been happier! The house was spacious,well stocked and close to everything we needed. Our host was very attentive to our needs by texting me every week to see if we needed anything and even suggested good restaurants we might want to try. One block away is Father Roosters restaurant which sits on the Ocotal Beach (you can actually see the beach while sitting in the rocking chairs on the second floor balcony). My husband went on three fishing expeditions with Guillermo Guillen who owns a business on the beach and caught fish that we cooked up at our house. The kitchen is very well stocked and there is also a grill in the kitchen by the pool that we used a few times. Beach towels are provided and the pool has plenty of chairs for all of their guests. A brand new washer and dryer are in a closet off the kitchen as well as a new security system that we set on the days that we went exploring other areas in Costa Rica. We loved it here and will definitely come back someday!

Excellent Costa Rica Location

This home was beautiful inside and out. The beach was 200 steps away and amazing. The pool was 30 steps from our door, and was beautiful. We had howler monkeys on our rooftop. The home had everything needed for a wonderful stay and the property managers were easily accessible and helpful. The only thing I might suggest is the addition of a bar-b-q. CHEERS. Hope to return again another day

Seaside Serenity #7 is the best of the best. It is 30 steps to the pool, and 200 steps to the beautiful black sand beach. The Villa is completely functional, has everything you will need. Easily accommodated our 6 adults. The property managers were available at a moments notice for anything we needed. If I return to Costa Rica, this would be my go to place.

Perfect vacation get-away!

We just returned home from a vacation in Costa Rica & we stayed at Playa Ocotal, Seaside Serenity #7. We were warmly greeted by Gil who took us to our vacation rental. The unit was immaculate & Gil's hospitality unsurpassed! He was available to answer any questions or concerns, always with a warm Costa Rican smile! From the moment we made our reservation to the time we checked out, we were well-cared for. Thank you Pam & Gil!

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Montgomery/Serenity Properties Manager for Rentals

Host profile image
Hola! We are the owners of Seaside Serenity, Vista Ocotal Beach #7. We are the Wades and are married and live in the Washington, D.C. area. I am originally from Canada and my husband is retired military and from Long Island, NY, and as fate may have it, we met while working/stationed in the Middle East. We both have a passion for traveling. Since I have always told my husband that I would like to retire somewhere warm and tropical, we took the plunge to own in this amazing community that allows us to visit Costa Rica often AND to share this wonderful space with other travelers until we decide to retire full time. We hope you will love this beach close condo, and all of the amenities and the amazing Costa Rica adventures as much as we do! Pura Vida!

Why they chose this property

We love that the villa is just a short walk to Ocotal beach, the Beach Club, and Father Roosters. The pool and BBQ area is lush and relaxing. We also love that we and our guests have access to additional fantastic amenities of Coco Bay Estates and the Ocotal Beach Club. Being close to the town of Coco makes shopping and sightseeing easy. Also, knowing that quality medical care is close by is comforting. There is a guard nightly in our gated community and we also have a security system/alarm in the villa and camera on outside to make us and our guests feel safe. Our local property manager, Sebastian from HomeTogetherCR and his team, are warm and friendly, so you'll feel welcomed when you come to stay at our Vista Ocotal Seaside Serenity!

What makes this property unique

Being nestled in a safe, gated community with lush, tropical landscaping all around you will allow you to feel that Costa Rica feeling of PURA VIDA right away! The nature you see right outside the villa, from tropical birds, howler monkeys, iguanas and flora will give you that 'we're in a tropical paradise' feeling from the moment you set foot in the villa. The partial views of the ocean from our living room and from our upstairs master bedroom along with the close proximity of steps from the beach made us fall in love with our villa. Having the beach so close (only 120 meters - or a 1-2 minute walk down a road), makes this location perfect! The access to all of the extra amenities at the Beach Club (pool and cabana with towel service) and Coco Bay Estates will give you that luxury property feeling, but at a fraction of the cost! There are Chef Services available so please let Sebastian, our property manager, know what your needs may be.
