Bungalow vacation rentals in Playa Chiquita

Nice place. Responsive host. Beach, restaurants, and grocery stores within walking distance. Plenty of wildlife: agoutis, green poison dart frogs, and howler monkeys. Great cell coverage if the Internet goes out.

The location is perfect all the beaches are close by, you have the beach less than 100 meters away and practically for you alone, the beautiful and cozy cabin, very friendly when receiving us, I would very much love the place I would stay there again.

Happy House is the perfect name for this oasis! Our family was so lucky to get to stay there. The property is large and private. The covered patio ( we call it a California room in California) was amazing. The indoor/outdoor kitchen and living space was a great place for our family to relax after many adventurous days in Costa Rica. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable. There were geckos and bugs in the covered patio area but my boys loved that part! The beach is beautiful but there is a rip current right in front of the house but we walked a short distance in both directions and found great swimmable ocean for our kids. It was a great end to our Costa Rican vacation! Thanks Steve for opening up your special space to visitors! Pura Vida!

What a slice of paradise! We were able to check-in early, and instantly felt right at home. Sylvio, the host, is friendly, funny, and an excellent cook! He made us pizza one night that only compares to what we have had in Italy. He made local recommendations and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed on a daily basis. The property is private, with toucans, parrots, and so many beautiful lizards everywhere. We would drink coffee by the pool each morning and watch the wildlife. We had a Vespa/motor bike to get back and forth into the heart of Cahuita and it was perfect. Otherwise, we did not mind walking places. The beach is directly in front of the hotel and was empty every time we walked down there. We will be back, very soon. Thanks Sylvio!!

It is a very nice accommodation, completely close to the National Park, so there is a lot of wildlife nearby, we were lucky enough to be able to see Monitos, a lazy and more species. Very attentive and very friendly, without a doubt if I return to Cahuita one day I would choose them again.

The people at the lodge are wonderful and made us feel very at home and welcome. Breakfast was really good too. We rented bikes from Mister Joseph and the ride to and from town took about 20 minutes because it is a bumpy unpaved rode but also has few cars and ocean views making it a pretty journey. The beach there is very dramatic with lovely sunrises. Isabelle is very active and engaged with the community and environmental projects and is a wealth of information about Cahuita. Roberto is also a gem of kindness and knows a ton about plants and animals.

Perfect accommodation for a solo getaway, perfect for relaxing with your feet in the water. Janet is an exceptional, caring and welcoming host.

Awesome people, awesome place. Many thanks to Alice and Erik, for creating comfort, peace and love. I highly recommend. Pura Vida

Everything was great! The only downside is that it is a little far from Puerto Viejo, but you can finally see that on the map when booking, especially since you can also rent bicycles for $5 24h! All in all but everything very pleasant and straightforward!

We felt very comfortable at the place. It was all there, what you needed. Great amenities in the kitchen. Upon arrival, the accommodation was sparkling clean and we really enjoyed our time there. We really recommend the accommodation to everyone!

We had a fantastic stay at Pachamamma Jungle River Lodge. Everything was as expected. We loved the green cabin. It was so cozy. The hammock was a great addition to the outside sitting area while having morning coffee or evening drinks. The property is very well maintained with lush gardens and gravel pathways. Lots of birds around and even the howler monkeys make their presence known. The beach is only a few minutes away by foot or by kayak. We took a tandem kayak out one morning to explore the river and it was so beautiful and peaceful. Lots and lots of turtles who don't mind posing for photos. Elisa was a great help with any questions, was very proactive and offered suggestions for local restaurants. We would love to come back and stay longer next time. 3 nights was not enough!

We stayed a full month in march 2025 and have to say the house really became our home, it is very well equipped for even longer stays, the house is thoughtfully decorated throughout. Comfortable and cozy. Has window nets for mosquitos, shutters to keep out the rising sun. A wonderful large outdoor chill / dining space to enjoy the fresh breeze and watch toucans and hummingbirds :) Well situated with just a 20 minute walk of 5 minute bike tide to restaurants and beach accesses. Great hosts and a pleasure able stay.

It is a very beautiful and quiet place, you can see different flora and fauna in one place. The hosts always answered my questions and resolved very quickly.

I was travelling with my two children, a 2 year old and a teenager and we had the most wonderful time at his pristine bungalow. Its a little slice of heaven in Costa Rica, untouched and walkable to a beautiful beack down the road. The lighting and views from the terrace could not have been more gorgeous, I am already excite to come back. Ariana and her husband are so kind and always just one text or call away, and will assist you immediatly. Highly recommend.

Our experience with Kate and this Airbnb was phenomenal, to say the least. From the beginning Kate, who is an extraordinary human, was diligent in communication and making sure we were able to get acquainted in Puerto Viejo and her place. Never have had a more thoughtful host. The place itself is nestled deep within the rainforest of Puerto Viejo, not far from the road of the town of Cocles ( a cute beach town with many restaurants and walkable beaches). Peaceful rainforest sounds, multiple species of monkeys traversing through the property, exotic birds and other jungle animals set the backdrop for the Casita. The Casita itself had a great build quality with warm wood construction, warm lighting, a comfortable bed. Kept the windows open to air most of the time with almost no exposure to bugs - a pleasant surprise in a rainforest environment. Fan available if a front of humidity moves in. Ability to cook for yourself with a functional stove. Would recommend 10 times over!

The house is very comfortable, in a very quiet place, in the middle of nature, close to everything but without the noise of downtown Puerto Viejo. Don José was very attentive and very kind, he was always very attentive to anything we needed.
