About this house rental
Summary:
Discover El Oasis, a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom beachfront villa nestled in the vibrant Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. Wake up to stunning views of Playa Grande and experience the tranquility of the Caribbean coast, where monkeys swing overhead and tropical birds greet the day. Just minutes from the famous Punta Uva beach and a variety of shops and restaurants, El Oasis offers the perfect escape for nature lovers and beachgoers alike. Your serene Caribbean retreat awaits!
The Space:
Welcome to our charming two-story beachfront home, designed to be the perfect retreat for your tropical getaway.
On the ground floor, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, pantry, and laundry facilities. The spacious corridor offers stunning garden views, allowing you to relax to the soothing sounds of the ocean and immerse yourself in the surrounding wildlife. There's also a dining table with seating for 8, perfect for enjoying meals with family or friends.
Upstairs, two cozy bedrooms await. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, a closet, and an en-suite bathroom, with breathtaking views of the sea and garden. The second bedroom, ideal for families or groups, includes a queen-sized bed and two single beds in a bunk arrangement, along with its own bathroom for added convenience.
The highlight of the property is the private beach access. Step out onto a tranquil shoreline, where you can take peaceful walks, soak in the sun, and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones.
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire villa, including all indoor and outdoor spaces. Feel free to make yourself at home and enjoy the kitchen, living areas, and bedrooms. The garden and private beach access are also yours to enjoy during your stay.
The Neighborhood:
The property is located on Playa Grande beach, about 20 minutes down the road from the largest town in the area, Puerto Viejo, and just 5 minutes from the small town of Manzanillo. Manzanillo is literally the end of the road – you’ll then find 10,000 protected acres of jungle and mangroves - the Gandoca Wildlife Refuge. And then you’re in Panama.
Getting Around:
The most convenient way to get around Playa Grande and Manzanillo is by car. Having your own vehicle gives you complete independence to explore beaches, restaurants, viewpoints, and the Gandoca–Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge at your own pace. Parking is easy and free throughout the region.
Biking is also a fantastic way to enjoy the Caribbean coast—many guests love riding to the beaches, cafés, and small shops. Walking is perfect for short distances and enjoying the relaxed jungle–beach atmosphere.
Taxis and private drivers are available in the area, and transportation can be arranged as needed.
Other Things to Note:
El Oasis is perfectly situated for those who want to explore the best of Puerto Viejo’s vibrant culture and nature. You can take a peaceful walk to the Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, just 20 minutes away on foot or 5 minutes by car. This pristine area is perfect for nature lovers looking to hike through the jungle, spot wildlife, or enjoy secluded beaches. If you want a deeper experience, we can book a local guide for a personalized hike through the refuge.
In addition to exploring the refuge, you’ll have access to many exciting activities in the Puerto Viejo area. From thrilling zipline tours through the jungle canopy to snorkeling in coral reefs, there’s something for everyone. For the adventurous, you can try surf lessons, paddleboarding, or even kayaking down the jungle rivers. Nature enthusiasts will love the guided tours through the Jaguar Rescue Center, and for a cultural twist, we offer indigenous chocolate tours that let you discover the ancient art of chocolate-making.
All of these activities can be conveniently booked through us. Let us know what experiences you’d like to enjoy, and we’ll take care of the details for you!

Wow! This house was everything we hoped for and more! The location was spectacular - amazing views, sounds and lots of privacy. My daughters loved the sand toys and boogie boards, and we used them daily at the beach just across their garden, at walking distance. The kitchen had everything we needed (minus a microwave, which I could have used to reheat my coffee) and the common areas downstairs were extraordinary. We loved waking up to the howler monkeys and variety of birdsongs, along with the waves and occasional rain storms. Overall, would highly recommend this house for families and would love to come back in the future.

Beautiful house and property tucked right in the jungle, with direct beach access. Very close to Punta Uva which has great swimming and surfing for kids. Easy drive to Puerto Viejo for restaurants. Super clean, very well maintained, good A/C. Hosts were extremely helpful and responsive - they organized a private driver from SJO to the house, and then to the car rental the next day. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely incredible stay. The place was fantastic. We loved the location after staying at a beach house in the more hectic PV area down the road. This house was slightly set back from the direct path to the beach, very private with a beautiful front landscape. We watched the ocean from the upper deck and loved watching the special tropical bird nest! We enjoyed the big kitchen, the open sitting areas and had all the amenities we needed! We were a family of four from Canada. Highly recommend this place

After booking this property I became concerned because my friend said that there was only one review online. I told him not to worry about it because VRBO properties are always fine with me. When we arrived it was night time. We had a little problem at the gate because there is a digital box and a small manual key box above that that is difficult to see at night. We got in to the property and were pleased with the building itself. Very nice porch that acts like a living room outside of the indoor kitchen. The main bedroom is very nice and overlooks the garden to the beach. The following day, we awoke to a vibrant display of colors and sounds. The sounds of the waves from the beach, the parrots, and the monkeys was so relaxing. This place is magical.
