About this property

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.

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.

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!

Digna is the best. She easily accommodated our requests—all through WhatsApp. I am not used to using WhatsApp, but it was definitely the de facto in this area of Costa Rica!

Perfect Location!

We absolutely loved this place. The beach/ocean was only steps away from the house. It was never crowded and felt semi-private; would have been completely private if not for a public access street/parking nearby. There was a canopy set up on the beach for us and we were able to take the lounge chairs on the patio out on the beach. The ocean was amazing. Perfect temperature, clean, and fairly calm during day. The apartment was attached to the house but it was still nice and quiet. The king bed was very comfortable and the walk in shower was nice and big. It was verl clean and well taken care of by Omar and Digna. KThey were very nice and hospitable. I wish we could have stayed longer - it was our favorite place so far in Costa Rica

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.

Little Blue House

Walk out the sliding glass door and onto the beach. Wake up and fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Perfect set up for a single person or couple. Basically a good sized room with a large king bed, small table and kitchen corner plus a bathroom. We stayed a week here and absolutely loved it. So peaceful. 5-10 minute walking distance to anything you need. Groceries, food, ice cream. Host was amazing

Unbelievable location

We absolutely loved our stay, the location we hands down the best I have ever experienced. We arrived after dark in the middle of a rain storm which made finding the property a bit challenging but luckily the caretaker was super responsive and quickly helped. The location is within walking distance of several good resturants which was great too. Honestly my only complaint and it really pretty minor is that the hot water was a bit lacking when it came time to take a shower. Otherwise we had a flawless stay, despite the rainy weather.

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!
