Casa Rio ~ close to beach + sleeps 14!

Perfect for several families, retreats, or friends looking to relax or catch some waves. Each room has it's own privacy looking over the deck, pool and jungle complete with howler monkeys swinging through the trees. Casa Rio is located only two blocks from the famous Playa Avellanas beach, known for its world class waves. Enjoy your secluded nature oasis, fit with a volleyball net, bocci ball, and a BBQ. Or walk to yoga and world renowned restaurants, including Lola's on the beach & Il Rustico.

This enchanting Bali style inspired home provides a luxurious escape from the everyday nestled in nature. This house is perfect for relaxing moments with families and friends by the pool. The open floor plan in the main palapa features distinctive bamboo fixtures, stainless steel appliances, a large guanacaste wood table, and an island with seating. This spacious living area is perfect for gathering with larger groups. The attached bedroom quarters and living areas are beautifully connected by wooden bridges, giving you the sense of walking in an enchanted jungle to your private retreat. The relaxing pool has beautiful turquoise limestone and a waterfall feature that encapsulates you in a tropical paradise. Enjoy some fun in the backyard with the custom volleyball court, bocci ball and BBQ.

Three of the four bedrooms feature lofts, that have two single beds. The master bedroom (the one without the loft) includes a connecting office. The cabinetry throughout the home is pure Guanacaste locally sourced wood. Nestled at the end of a private street, you'll find ample parking for up to six vehicles when you enter the premises.

The storage and laundry room is located next to the parking area to not disturb any home guests. As you walk into the property, you'll be captivated by all the details this tropical oasis has to offer. Starting with the thatched palapa roof, you'll find your living, dining, kitchen, and a half bath. The wooden beams and palm roof accented with oversized teak hanging lamps are simply breathtaking making this property so unique.

Walking out of the living area will lead you over the bridge connecting to the sleeping quarters. Each room overlooks the soothing views of the jungle and large trees that serve as a canopy for the outdoor common areas where you can enjoy the howler monkeys making their daily commute through the tree line. Offering privacy like no other, while still walking distance to the beach, this property has the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Rio. We were a large multi-family group from ages 2 to 78 and It was perfect. The separate air conditioned sleeping areas were perfect, but we especially loved gathering by the pool or in th shared kitchen, living, dining space. The location was nice for us. Definitely more rustic, but fun!

Avellanas Beach
This is a beautiful property located in a convenient location. The kitchen is perfect for light snack prep and simple cooking. Miguel, the property manager, was very responsive to our questions. The owner was also available for messaging and very helpful. We did request more towels and bedding, and the shower temperatures were brisk. The pool area was lovely, and the beach chairs and toys provided were in great condition and nice to have! This is a beautiful property that accommodated our group of 11 guests. We were able to easily walk to the beach, a small store, and fun restaurants! We hated to leave!
