Beachfront vacation rentals in Puerto Escondido

fantastic small house with tranquil and almost abandoned beach at the end of the Costa Rica, just friendly reminder, if you’re not renting the whole house owner is staying downstairs, which was not problem at all

Magical and thoughtfully designed spaces in a tranquil area away from the surf crowd but just a short drive away from more populous areas if you wish. Yoga deck is perfect and looks out to Golfo Dulce so you can listen to waves as you flow. 💯% recommend.

We loved staying again! The location is perfect for us - both on the beautiful beach, and near the point. The house is set up just right to enjoy with friends with large gathering spaces, and still have some space of your own. We appreciate the care taken before arrival - the house is spotless, and has a homey feel with coffee and staples to get you started. Thank you for another terrific extended stay! We'll see you again!

We loved the place. It was very nice and clean and generally well described. It's very close to the beach and has a good parking space. The kitchen is complete, but there is no salt or oil. It has a nice terrace, where you can share and eat. It doesn't say so in the description, but it only has one AC, and it's in the living room. The pillows on the beds are VERY uncomfortable, it was the only thing we didn't like.

The location is great, few doors down to a supermarket and few restaurants. The property is beachfront and private. It’s more worth than what I paid for. Ana is a really nice person and eager to help. I’ll be back!

Absolutely amazing spot! We felt right at home from the moment we arrived ! The grounds were just gorgeous and full of wildlife! We loved the outdoor kitchen which is so roomy and lets you hear all the monkeys and birds! The kayaking near the place was fantastic! We had fun fishing and seeing all the mangroves! We can’t say enough good things about the hosts who cooked many delicious meals for us and were just generally amazing! Room was perfect and comfortable with great decks for looking out over the grounds! Just a wonderful experience in some of the best natural surroundings!

From the drive to the house, to the views of the ocean, to the sound of nature…. Magical place. Felt seriously sad when we left. Kim is really responsive and helpful!

We had such a great time relaxing over a long weekend. The house had all the essentials needed. Central location, short walk to stores and surf. The yard around the property were beautiful.. The front patio was comfortable and a great place to relax. Jamie was accommodating to our early check in request. Can't wait to come back.

Beautiful cabin in the middle of the jungle, monkeys and birds that can be seen from bed. With walks around in a totally beautiful and preserved environment, we went horseback riding with Paulo, an excellent guide who gave us an unforgettable experience

Absolutely amazing this home is! For a surfer it’s heaven. Located near the point at Pavones it’s a short walk to an easy paddle out at the point and let the current take you the length of the wave. Also centrally located where you either walk across the river or bridge to the local town center or market and few restaurants that are in town. Loved the random dog showing up to say hi too! The property is like a jungle setting. Gorgeous! The home was big enough for my teenagers and young adult kids to roam around and feel at home. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean as well! The kitchen was perfect using gas rather than electric portable stoves too. There also was an outdoor bbq which we used almost everyday. When in the jungle surfing all day it was an absolute joy to cool off in the pool! Overall an amazing stay at this paradise of a home!!! If it’s available this sanctuary will be top of my list of places to stay in Pavones!!! Paraiso Pura vida!!!!!!!!!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was the perfect place to unwind and truly be together as a family. The animal life was incredible. We woke up to monkeys in the morning and playing throughout the day just outside the house. Both john and Oscar were super helpful and friendly. And if you have a chance to have Jackson’s cook- she was incredible. If you’re in for a rustic, full of nature, full family time then this is your place! Also don’t miss out on scheduling a horseback ride with Carlos at finca tropical! It surpassed our expectations and my husband used to guide horseback rides in Colorado. Enjoy the time together and this charming place in Cabo matopalo!

Awesome jungle beachside spot. Great hosts and communication.

We had a wonderful stay in Playa Blanca!! I had no cell service/communication on my end due to data issues with my phone for several days before our arrival, but we found it without issue with the original directions Amanda has on the listing. Amanda and Jay were very friendly and welcoming. Our kids loved playing with their kids on the jungle gym and in the pool. This stay was at the end of a 10 day stay for us in Costa Rica and was the perfect cap for us to rest/reset and enjoy the last few days in the Osa. Its a large property and very quiet and peaceful (well except for the beautiful macaws making a ruckus in the almond trees!) We paddle boarded each morning on the calm gulf and saw sea turtles daily! They have built a wonderful little school house on property as well and have unique opportunities for kids to attend school/study abroad so to speak for those that may be interested. We highly recommend this property!

Perfect place right on Backwash bay. Great place to be for surfing and exploring. Kitchen had all the necessities to cook anything you wanted to. Downstairs shower was bright, open and felt just like showering in the jungle. Nice hot water on the lower level as well. Property was very clean and maintained which is important while staying in the jungle. Thanks Sandy!

Casa Cielo is a amazing place to stay if visiting Pavones!! Very peaceful, safe, and beautiful place to relax in between surf sessions with great food close by! My go to spot when visiting Pavones!!

We loved our stay here. It’s beautiful and quiet. Just a heads up when people say you need a 4x4, YOU DO! The roads are rough! And don’t go at night! We had a hard time finding it, But once you get there it’s glorious! Never worried about animals coming in. What an experience! Would come back again but next time we’ll bring some games.

The location is really great and the communication in advance was very good. We arrived a little late, but check-in was still no problem. From the balcony, we could see many different animals. On the one hand, the kitchen is not very well equipped, especially for larger groups (there were five of us). On the other hand, you really have to deal with the fact that you have some cockroaches in the accommodation.

Ana Y Manuel's place is extremely special. It's spacious and has lots of room, and is steps from the beach. They were such beautiful hosts and i got into many beautiful conversations with Manuel and felt very comfortable and safe with Ana. They were so incredibly generous and patient, teaching me about the planta in their garden and offering fruits homegrown from their trees. I would definitely return here. *i would recommend speaking spanish or atleast being willing to learn. Ana Y Manuel are a local couple and are grateful to be able to communicate in the language they know best! Muchas gracias Ana y Manuel, à la proxima vez!

We had already been to François last year. Our stay was beautiful, relaxing and magical. If you like the jungle, nature and the feeling of being far from the rest of the world....this is the perfect place:) The Dulce Gulf is also a very special place....we took a boat trip with Osawild to see dolphins....and we had an extraordinary moment...A little jungle paradise or lots of species of birds and some monkeys naturally come to the property.

Jose is an excellent host and his place is also excellent. Above all, we loved the rooms and the unbeatable location since it is practically in front of the beach. Everything was great.

Sabrina & Edu couldn’t have been better hosts! Their “end of the world” paradise is quiet & peaceful. Their home cooked meals were delicious & plentiful. The bungalows had thick netting so we could feel the cool night air as we slept. It was fabulous to wake up to all of the birdsongs every morning, They made a special effort to show us birds & animals. We really enjoyed the use of their boat to explore the River where their diverse ecosystem shines in the jungle. We also liked taking the boat on the lagoon to the beach. If you want a quiet and peaceful getaway, this is the place. However, Sabrina is happy to help you with any tours (and there are quite a few to choose from). We will always treasure our time here. :)

Staying at Pura Vida was a wonderful experience for me and my family. The house is amazing, built and decorated with impeccable taste, comfortable, elegant, modern and with a breathtaking view to the ocean and forest. The hosts are most welcoming and we felt right at home. We were sad we had to leave! But we look forward to coming back soon…

This was our first time renting an Airbnb in a foreign country, so we were a little nervous. Charles was super helpful and responsive during the whole trip. He gave us great recommendations, scheduled our excursions, and answered all of our questions. The main thing we wanted to do was to go offshore fishing. Charles hooked us up with two great captains (Louis and Donald (Dos Mas), and we had a great day of fishing. The house is located just a very short walk from the pier where you catch the boat. There are also several good restaurants that are within a short walk from the house. We also did an off-road drive and a short hike to the King Louis waterfall, tour of chocolate farm, and went surfing with Keilor (Lakos surf shop in town). We would recommend all of these activities highly. This was a great trip and we had a party of 6 from age 7 to 71. The fishing was amazing.

Where do I begin? Let me start by saying that the pictures do not do this place justice. First, the property is insanely beautiful and massive, filled with beautiful plants, trees, and maintained beautifully- and you have it all to yourself! The house is modern, spacious, and built/ prepped with love and intention. We truly had more than we needed here, especially in the kitchen. My favorite part was going to sleep and waking up to the sound of waves - something I’ll never forget (the massive shower comes in a close second.) On top of all of this, Frank and his wife are AWESOME! I almost didn’t want to write this review so that the place wasn’t booked when we come back. 😂 Truly my first real vacation, entirely due to to this magical gem. We came to surf and the location was perfect- but if you’re traveling with non surfers, this place is also ideal because of the proximity to town/ beach/ the house in general. A wonderful stay our family will never forget.
