WELCOME TO CASA LUNA BEACH HOUSE!
Stay at our beach house, Escape the Chaos, reconnect with family and/or friends & truly relax. Sleeps up to 8. Steps from the beach and sea on beautiful Playa Negra. Close to Hotel Banana Azul with a restaurant, convenience store with fresh baked goods, liquor, beer and anything else you may need, and a "beach club" with full service, a minute or two walk along the road.

This is Beach and Jungle living in complete comfort and style. There are 3 comfortable air conditioned bedrooms with 3 adjacent bathrooms. Wifi .. Fibre Optics (we run our businesses remotely from the house when we stay with no trouble). Plus we have a beautiful private plunge pool for a daily cool off.

Yes, we are right on the beach! We have a small road between the house and the sand. You can see the beach and ocean up close from the upstairs balcony. While the pool deck is nice and private surrounded by gardens.

The house has two living/sleeping areas and 2 huge open air shaded spaces. Upstairs (the main house level) has 2 bedrooms with 2 adjacent bathrooms, a large indoor living room and open concept kitchen with a large island. This level opens up with sliding glass doors onto a large balcony with a sectional couch and a dining table. The balcony over looks the jungle, beach and sea.

Imagine waking up after a refreshing sleep, making coffee in your fully stocked kitchen, sliding back the windows onto your private balcony overlooking the beach and sea. Playa Negra spans 22km (a beach walker's dream come true).

Sit quietly on our large comfortable balcony and listen to the birds & waves. Breathe deeply and think about your next adventure. Maybe you'll book a surf lesson or just take a leisurely walk along Playa Negra beach right in front of your fabulous beach house.

Look after yourself! Take a local Yoga (just down the road from us) or breath work class, reserve a relaxing spa treatment, wander, meditate, shop or lounge with a great book in a hammock beside your private plunge pool, it's all up to you. Do as much or as little as you want.

This was the perfect place for us to stay as we explored the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. We spent time on the beach, had cocktails at the lovely Banana Azul a 3 minute walk down the beach, rented bikes a 5 minute walk away at Pura Rides and biked a 30km beach hopping route to Manzanillo and took tuk-tuks to and from the main drag of Puerto Veijo where the bars, shops and restaurants are. Regarding the house - some standout things: 1) incredible check in process and easy communication with the property manager via whatsapp. It was all super slick and transparent. 2) The pool seemed small when we first arrived but it was the BEST. We went in every day for a nice cool off plunge after hiking, biking and beaching and 3) the location - PERFECT for nice relaxing mornings hearing the waves crashing and just a little 5 minute tuk tuk to Hot Rocks to party or Luna Mays to shop! LOVED every minute!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Luna House. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We loved the outdoor spaces and it worked out well for us to have the separate rooms downstairs, it gave my daughter and her partner privacy while I was upstairs with her teenagers. The only issue I had was that the coffee pot was unusable. The wet coffee grounds hadn't been removed from the previous guest and it was covered in mold. A through cleaning was needed. Having the beach just across the road and the constant sound of the waves was wonderful. I also really like the close access to a little store as well as the charming hotel Banana Azuel for occasional meals. I would recommend Casa Luna House to everyone.

Excellent property. Well apportioned, located, and more than comfortable.

The booking states that pets are not allowed. However, in the welcome packet from the owner, it states that a cat lives with them when they are in town. The cat hung around every day and tried to come in in the house multiple times. One time my daughter tried to block the cat from entering and it bit/scratched her leg. We would’ve never booked the place had we known that a cat is allowed indoors. The property management company tried to lie and gaslight saying that’s not true even though I showed them a picture of the welcome packet. Luckily my husband is only mildly allergic. We ended up staying in the house as there were no other options in the area. . The lounge chairs by the pool had cracks in them. This caused discomfort/pinching when sitting. The floor surfaces outside are SUPER slick. We all fell multiple times. One time causing an injury for my daughter. The gardener was there and heard it happen. Most of the stairs have a non slip piece on it. When we grabbed silverware or glasses, we often found dirty pieces. We shared all of these concerns with the property management, but they denied or made excuses.Plenty of towels for baths and beach. I was worried about that without a washer and dryer. Overall, the house was nicely decorated. The beach was beautiful. The sand was amazing! However, the beach was unswimmable. Even with older kids, we could only go a few feet out and the kids had to be right next to us. My husband and younger daughter got caught in undertow.
