About this property

playa coco getaway - nice residental area in las palmas.

Fully furnished two bedroom, 2 bath condo in private setting with pool. 2min walk to the beach, and to playa de cafe and pacifico bar and restaurants 5 min drive to downtown coco. The place is great. Pool just steps away from front door . The kitchen is well equipped and the condo is magnificent. We are in a great location in Playas Del Coco, with local goods for shopping, dining, and night life. Only 20 minutes from Liberia International Airport. Additionally we can arrange all your tours, zip lines, surfing, and other attractions. It’s a lot of value for the money. Please let me know if you have any further questions or would like to book. Thanks again for your interest.

Ok location

This place is ok for two but it needs some tender loving care. This is only rental of five units and that does make a difference.Must say the beach area needs lots of work. To many motor bikes near beach. Something that the beach area really needs is a LIFE GUARD STAND WITH FIRST AID EQUIPMENT. When we were at the beach we saw a man drown and ambulance took to long to get there and had limited supplies…

Excellent

We stayed for a month in November and we’re very happy with our choice. This is a comfortable, clean, well equipped townhouse in an excellent location if you are staying in Playa Del Coco. The complex itself has 6 units so is very quiet, and safe. One of the neighbours lives there full time and they were very friendly. The pool was lovely and the temperature warm. We walked to the beach in just a few minutes, and into town in about 20 minutes. We rented a car for the month which allowed us the flexibility to have some great day trips to nearby beaches and parks, and also on some overnight excursions. We would not hesitate to stay there again if we travel to Playa del Coco in the future.

Wonderful stay

Location was great - 2 minute walk to the beach. Gorcery stores and local fish market within walking distance. Accomodation was wonderful, unit had everything you could need, soft bath towels, fully supplied kitchen, beach towels and chairs, even a cooler to take to the beach. Issue with air conditioner was fixed promptly. Small issue with calcium buildup on the shower head that the property manager told us to fix with vinegar that he would bring but never followed up with. Would definitely recommend this property.

Costa Rica Playa del Coco

Condo was great! Pictures don't do it justice, it's very cute and Costa Rican decorations! Short walk to the beach and a few restaurants and shops! We had the pool all to ourselves! The only complaint was a few days after we got there they started remodeling next door. It was extremely loud they were breaking down concrete walls from 8:00 to 5:00 p.m. but it got us out of there and we took a lot of tours to see more of Costa Rica! We would stay there again! Pura Vida! 😊 🌺♥️

#5 Blue Marlin

Nice spot, this was our second stay, location is perfect for us as it’s walking distance to the beach and small store near by for anything you may have missed from the grocery store. Kitchen is adequate for small meals and there are restaurants within walking distance in the area. King size bed in the upstairs bedroom is a bonus.

Great Stay in a Quiet Area

5, Blue Marlin was a great place to see the sights and beaches of Playa Coco. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood (there is some construction happening in the area) and is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. If you don’t have a vehicle and are okay walking in the heat, the town center is about 1.5 km from the place, but there are golf cart and bicycle options too. The unit itself is very well stocked and has pretty much everything you’ll need to make all sorts of meals. The two beach chairs work fine and are easy to take to the beach, but they’re not super comfortable. The pool outside your front door is so refreshing and convenient. A couple of loungers around the pool deck would be a nice addition. I’ve saved the best for last! Kattia, the property manager is simply the best! A lovely lady who was available whenever we needed her and who saved our butts after we got lost our first evening after darkness fell. (Believe it when they say you shouldn’t try to find the place on your own!) All in all, an excellent stay!

Awesome stay over Christmas

We were there for 2 weeks over the holidays. The condo is 5 min walk to the beach and 20 min walk to downtown (or 2 u.s dollar cab ride). Neighbors in the condo were great, very quiet area. Lots of wildlife on and near the property to watch. The kitchen had everything. Beds very comfortable. Only wished the BBQ was propane not charcoal. Would highly recommend this place to anyone of any age.

HEAVEN

The cutest place ever. Well kept and equipped with everything you need..plus! The pool and grounds kept spotless. A short relaxing walk to the beach. Rented a golf cart from Island rentals ( also great ) and had an absolute blast. Saddened us to leave.

Great Condo

Condo was as advertised. 5 min walk to beach and to small grocery store and restaurants. Complex was just 6 condos and pool right outside our door. Kitchen was well equipped and having the washer/dryer was a great bonus! Definitely would recommend it. The property manager (Kattia) arranged our airport transfer to and from the condo. She was very helpful and friendly.

Lack of water on several occasions

Due to construction in town the water was off for up to 8 hours on one day. Others it was 4-6 hours. Out of 16 days I'd say it was "off" at least 13 for hours at a time. Very little clothing storage in the 1st floor bedroom, and drawers and cabinets can use updating (very loose). But the beach is a 2 min walk, town grocery and other stores you pass going to the condo which is about a 1 min drive.

Great condo in a quiet area

The condo was well equipped, nicely decorated and had a nice pool. Great location, near the beach, only about a 15 minute walk into town and a number of restaurants close by. We really appreciated having the washer and dryer in the unit. This condo is excellent for long or short term stays. We really enjoyed our time at the condo.

Excellent getaway!

Pool right outside door. Nice roomy unit. Great decor. Washer and dryer in unit a big plus. Close to the beach with bike paths. Pool and grounds well maintained. Convenient to small town with many restaurants. Altogether convenient! Our hosts and property manager were most communicative and helpful!

Blue Marlin 5: A great home away from home

We had an excellent stay at this condo. It is as pictured and we found it to have pretty much everything we needed. The beach is indeed close by and we also really enjoyed having use of the swimming pool (which is cared for daily). The only negative experience we had here was with the property manager, Joanne. She offered to take us to town for groceries on our second day. After stopping to run some of her own errands, she dropped us at the grocery store and told us she would be having breakfast at the Subway Subs restaurant next door. My husband is newly diagnosed with diabetes so we were carefully reading labels and didn't realize a half an hour had passed. At this point, Joanne found us in the store and said in a huff that she had to leave for an appointment. We immediately went to the cash register to pay. Upon exiting the store, we found she had abandoned us. Had she given us prior warning that she was in a rush, we would have been more mindful of the time. We ended up walking and eventually found a taxi which took us home for a few dollars. We relied on ourselves after this and walked to and from town via the beach most days. If a taxi was needed, we found the red cabs to be safe, cheap and reliable. We also rented a car for 3 days to travel to Tamarindo, Arenal and Monteverde. Other than the grocery trip experience, we greatly enjoyed our time and found Playas del Coco, the locals and Costa Rica to all be wonderful. Word to the wise: Joanne will offer to drive you to and from the airport in Liberia for $50, but we discovered a cab was cheaper. We left the cards for two drivers in the condo for future visitors. Pura Vida!!!

exceeded my expectations

I enjoyed a very relaxing, and quiet stay at this residence.Booking on VBRO was EZ, and upon arrival , i waited for what seemed like a while before Joanne came by with the keys, but i was pleased to see the condo was clean and felt "homey". I was pleased to see an HDMI cable available, since i had forgotten to bring one along.Booked several day trips out deep sea fishing during my stay found several places to book in downtown Coco fairly EZ. All and all i have to recommend, pretty much everything went smooth on my vacation, for once.Be nice to return sometime.

Lacking Information

I must say arriving at 12.30 AM along with no addresses on any properties made for a very frustrating evening. We were unable to locate anyone that could help us and several tried which forced us to rent another room at a Hotel that was but 3 blocks from the Blue Marlin. Suggestion include a map of the area. Even without street names there are so few streets it would be a very simple way to locate the Blue Marlin. Once on the correct street the sign in the yard and the BLUE building color would be easy to locate even in the dark of night. The added cost of $85.00 left us with a very bad taste for VRBO. This all could be prevented by arriving during daylight hours on our part. How ever not possible for this trip. Another way this could be prevented is to share more contact information, the phone number and or email address of Joanne the property manager whom after we were able to connect was most helpful. The rental unit was ok but I must add more care in extermination of bugs is needed the spray under the sink came in handy. Some of this has come to be expected by my wife and myself as we have traveled in many areas of south america. The property was quiet, the neighbors friendly, the food was good all in all we had a good time and will be back in Playas Del Coco in the future.

Great place for quiet holiday

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Marlin. Close to the beach and a short bike ride, walk down the beach, or taxi ride into town. We especially liked the pool as Playa del Coco is hot. There is lots of space for four people to sleep and prepare meals. A bit tight to eat inside but fantastic to eat outside. Coco is a nice town with lots to do in terms of tours. Many good restaurants and smaller supermarkets. The Blue Marlin suited our needs perfectly.

New Year's Stay

My family stayed for 4 nights at this unit. We found it matched the description pretty accurately. The bedroom on the first floor has no A/C, but with the fans and a good A/C in the LR and an open door, this was not an issue. The unit is well maintained and the local manager is helpful. She and the owner promptly responded to all queries. The location is very convenient to walk to the beach or shopping, and you can drive or walk to town. We had a nice time staying in this property.

Excellent place to stay& relax!!

My wife and I stayed during the Thanksgiving week of 2013 and we both agreed, it was one of the best Thanksgivings we've had in a while! First off, the unit itself is exactly as the pictures show which was a welcome sight. Each area of the condo was very spacious and well appointed. The kitchen had all the dishes,pans, and utensils we needed. Everything was in good,clean working condition. The grocery stores in the area did have all the usual things we liked to eat, however, some were definitely more expensive than we were used to seeing, so be prepared for sticker shock. Back to the condo, it really is a quiet getaway. There was never any loud people/activities going on that disrupted us from relaxing while there. Again, it pretty much had anything a person could need, from extra sunscreen,dvd's,batteries,you name it(even a beach umbrella!) The pool was nice, clean and maintained daily it seemed. The area of the neighborhood it's in is very safe as we saw security guards making regular rounds which was great. We ate at a couple local places but Coconutz was our favorite. Its a standard sports bar/restaurant but the owner and staff were very nice which made us go back three times during our stay.(Plus they had all the turkey day games!) The beach is in walking distance and was never overly crowded,which we liked. Overall. we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this unit for anyone looking for a very nice,quiet getaway!
