Beach was not crowded which is what we wanted. Sodas were a great place to enjoy the local cuisine. Must do dinner at Sentido Norte - food and service was outstanding.

Amazing location right on the beach!

Traditional Costa Rican space, ie hot water in shower only. Some maintenance needed - lights over kitchen didn’t work, fridge missing shelves. It's all about the location!! Fabulous beach!@Fabuloubeach walk

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.

Beautiful

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.

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!

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!

This was the most amazing, beautiful beach. Very private, soft white sand, warm water. Omar set up a beach canopy with lounge chairs....perfect!! Great location to visit other towns and beaches. Don't miss Playa Prieta and Sugar Beach within walking distance. Bring your water shoes to walk on the volcanic rock and explore. We liked The Shack restaurant in town.

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.
