Our stay was perfect for our family. The view was incredible. Very safe and friendly staff. The pools were pefect. Nice to have a clean place to rest our heads. We will be back!
We absolutely loved the condo and the stunning view it offered! During our stay, we found ourselves spending most of our time outside on the porch, soaking in the beauty of our surroundings. Mornings and evenings were especially magical, creating the perfect setting for relaxation. It was truly a memorable experience!
The place was great including for the price. Out concierge, Corby, was a pleasure to work with and she was very accommodating/responsive. We look forward to visiting again!
The apartment is perfect for relaxing during your vacation. The view is amazing. The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. We have stayed there a couple of times and will definitely be going back.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and Playa del Coco. The drive to the apartment is an adventure, but well worth the effort because of the magnificent view over the bay. It was so relaxing to sit out on the patio and enjoy a cocktail (or two). We really appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels that were provided. They now have a fabulous pickleball setup down at the club and the âregularsâ made us very welcome. Great fun! Hopefully we will have a chance to return in the future.
The property was exactly as advertised. Communication was great. Property manager met us at convenient location and escorted us to the condo.View is remarkable! Added bonus was that the balcony was sheltered from some winds that came up a couple of times and we were sill able to use it comfortably. The owner pays the fee to use the beach club at Ocotal and the gym, pool and pickleball, tennis courts. We had a great time at the pickleball open play with people from all over. Honestly, not sure how it could have been better. We never return to our prior rentals as we want new experiences but this one will be the first exception!
We really enjoyed our stay, the condo was clean and we loved the clubhouse and pool. We had a couple of questions during our stay and the property manger was very responsive and helpful. Highly Recommend this condo!
This is a very comfortable, clean, beautiful safe place to stay. We really enjoyed the beautiful views from the balcony. Our property manager was very helpful and quick to give us advice on restaurants and fun things to do in the area. The restaurants and pools were great. It was stated it is a short 8 minute walk to the beach, but it is my opinion that you can not walk to the beach, you will need a car.
Our stay was exactly what we needed. The condo was nice and close to town/grocery stores and restraints. You must have a rental car to get to it because of the steep hill but oh my the view makes for a nice relaxing place to unwind on the balcony. The property contact went above and beyond to answer questions and set up excursions for us. We would stay here again.
Overlooking the bay and ocean, this very comfortable condo has all you need for a short or long stay. Although the kitchen is just a bit small, the living area, to master bedroom suites, and generous balconies are ample. Youâll probably want to rent a car, as the condo is at the top of a fairly steep hill, but you can usually get to the beach or to the restaurants and clubs in Cocoa. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed the condo. We were two couples and the king beds with their own ensuite was great. The two clubhouses where you could swim were lovely but you cannot access the condo without a car without a great deal of incline walking. Being up high adds to the gorgeous view. Owner was very receptive and Corby the property manager was responsive. Thank you for sharing your home.
Would recommend this property to others. Condo was in good repair and well appointed.
The value was good. View was wonderful and the club was good. The overall property is a bit "remote" within the town of Playa Coco itself and looks like the development could use some maintenance and finish. However, we did enjoy our stay there and would recommend it. Gil with property management was helpful, prompt and friendly.
This was absolutely one of the best vacation rentals we've ever stayed. Started every day with a relaxing cup of coffee on the deck and an incredible view of the ocean. Beds, sitting areas, and outside furniture were all high quality and very comfortable. Included resort access to pool, fitness and pickleball / tennis facilities. Also included a separate beach club near Ocotal beach that gave us great access to ocean snorkeling, a swimming pool, dining a Father Roosters, and a covered sitting area in the rare case a rain shower came through. Strongly recommend for your stay in Costa Rica.
I am a regional manager for a hotel chain and we took this trip for my 40th birthday. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. I have high expectations of cleanliness due to my position at work, and this place was exceptionally clean. Very short drive to restaurants, beaches and other activities. The communication from the property owner to the checkin manager was great! Corby took time to meet us at subway and show us how to get to the condo which was above and beyond for our first time in this beautiful country! Would definitely stay again!
Stunning Views. Nicely appointed and maintained unit that has all the amenities you need. Owners and management team responsive and helpful. As pointed out by others, a Car is a necessity to go anywhere, including pool and clubhouse dining. Property condo complex is at the top of an extremely (and I mean extremely) steep road. This condo complex is in a gated community that is isolated from town and the beach. Just be prepared to drive wherever you want to go. Also prepare to be underwhelmed by the touted community beach club and ocotal beach. This is not a high end beach club experience, more like an HOA building and pool near a locals beach. Playas del coco itself is a small village and not part of the main tourist destination area, an advantage or disadvantage depending on your point of view.
My husband and I had a lovely week at Coco Bay Estates. The view is the highlight of the condo, we sat on the balcony a lot. Weâre early risers and would sit with a cup of coffee watching the bay come into view while listening to birds and monkeys.
Corby, the property manager in Coco, was a delight to deal with. From meeting us upon arrival to communication throughout our stay.
The condo is well appointed, and has everything you might need during your stay. Accessibility is great, up two short flights of stairs, or there is an elevator. A security guard was stationed next to the building during the night and would patrol the area frequently during his shift.
The drive up to the condo never got old, up the steep hill. We found a regular car was fine to get around.
Coco itself was busy, and we found it a bit chaotic, people walking and cycling everywhere, with motorcycles weaving around cars. Parking in El Coco can be challenging.
We enjoyed the pool at Coco Bay Estates, poolside drink service was excellent. The pool at Ocotal beach club is smaller, but also very nice. Great to have beach access from there as well.
There were not very many mosquitos during our stay, and as an arachnophobe I am happy to say we only saw two spiders during our week, and they werenât even that big. We did a hike to La Leona waterfall, as well as a rainforest tour, and didnât see any snakes, tarantulas or other large bugs.
Highly recommend this condo.
The Coco Bay resort has everything you need to make a great vacation. Numerous beaches are 10 minutes away, grocery stores are just outside the complex.If I had any complaint, itâs just windy up on the hill. But I heard from the locals it was unusually windy at the time.
My wife and I stayed in this condominium for a week the end of January, 2024. I have stayed at 30 VRBO units over the last 20 years. This was one of the nicest. At 1500 square feet with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a full kitchen it is perfect for 2-4 people. The view over Coco bay is beautiful. The furnishings were well chosen . The beds were very comfortable! There were excellent light blocking curtains in the bedrooms, an oft-neglected but essential item. The club associated with the unit had a beautiful pool, plenty of pickleball courts ( not my thing) and a nice restaurant. The local apartment manager, Corby, was very friendly and helpful with good accessibility. For spending time visiting this part of Costa Rica this is an excellent , reasonably priced accommodation and we fully recommend it.
This property was a breath taker. Between the views, sounds the luxurious feel and overall warmth. This made our vacation. To come back to a place where you can move around after falling in love with Costa Rica day after day for a week. We loved all of it from the amenities, the size, the comfort, the views this place is nothing short of AMAZING. And Corby is just a doll to work with.
The condo was very nice and we especially appreciated Corby, the property manager. She was quick to answer any questions and was super helpful.
The biggest benefits to this rental are the view and access to two swim clubs. Ocotal Club is especially handy because it offers a place to park, swim, bathroom and shower facilities when visiting the beach. Additionally, the beds are very comfortable, and the two bedrooms are very big with ample closet space and en-suite bathrooms.
The biggest negative is that the condo is completed isolated from anything walkable. You absolutely must have a car and it is the only way to access anything - including the pool. With the heat, humidity and massive hill, it is impossible to walk anywhere. However, with a car, accessing the pool (2 min drive), local restaurants, local shops (7 min drive), etc. is very easy to do with a bit of planning.
The kitchen is a bit small but has everything we needed to do some cooking at home. This was helpful since we stayed for a month.
Lots to do within a 2 hour drive ... volcanos, adventure parks, waterfalls, beautiful beaches, restaurants.
2 brothers made a trip down to Costa Rica, fell in love with the area and adventure, and bought an ocean view condo. The wives were a bit surprised with the news upon our return:) The kids thought it was a great idea!
In addition to the views, pools, gym, tennis, and beach club on the property, the unique benefits include the proximity to beaches, sailing, snorkeling, zip lining, river tubing, jet skis, and great local restaurants and bars.
