About this villa rental
Casa Uno has a fabulous beachfront location within the comfortable community of Los Almendros de Ocotal. The calm, perfect-for-swimming waters and the black sand beach of Playa Ocotal await you just steps out the back door through a small canopy of tropical shade trees. These waters offer enjoyable snorkeling right off the beach behind Casa Uno. Children and adults also love to stroll the nearby tide pools which teem with visible, fascinating marine life at low tide. Out Casa Uno’s front door, up a stairway to a stunning view of Ocotal Bay sits the largest of the three swimming pools in the development. Casa Uno also has its own private, jacuzzi-sized plunge pool in its landscaped backyard. The office, right next door, has a welcoming and knowledgeable staff for reception, visitor information and 24 hour security. The ever popular Father Rooster beach-side restaurant is a quick 2 minute walk from the house.
In the living space of Casa Uno, you can enjoy cooling A/C or open the windows and allow the warmth and sounds of the sea to relax and connect you to this sweet spot in Costa Rica. All of the bedrooms have air-conditioning, ceiling fans and ocean views. The main living area and the lanai each have 3 ceiling fans for a pleasant “sea breeze.” The kitchen/dining/living area and balcony plus the master bedroom and 2 baths (master and hall bath) comprise the entry floor of Casa Uno. The other two bedrooms and bath are on the lower, walk-out-to-the-beach level. This set-up nicely accommodates solo travelers and couples, or families and groups up to 8 people.
Casa Uno is fully equipped with kitchen appliances and utensils. For those wishing to do some cooking, excellent grocery stores in the nearby town of Playas del Coco will satisfy most menus. The house also has a washer, dryer, internet, and a Smart TV. All linens plus beach towels are provided. Maid service for your visit can be requested directly from the office for a modest additional charge.
Our 44 unit beach development has a combination of vacationers, long term renters and residents, so it feels relaxed, cared for and safe in Los Almendros. Weddings commonly take place on the beach behind Casa Uno which speaks also to the romantic and intimate qualities of our location. Casa Uno provides an easy going get-away to unwind and restore and/or a perfect jumping off spot to take on some of Costa Rica’s fun activities and adventures.
Activities abound in Costa Rica. Tours for Deep Sea Fishing, Sailboat/Catamaran trips, Scuba Diving and Snorkeling tours often leave from our bay. Rentals for kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and high quality snorkel gear are also accessible. Within about an hour of Casa Uno, adventure activities such as zip-lining, ATV’s, horseback riding, jet skis, surfing, and tubing are available; in addition, there are lower adrenaline choices like a mangrove tour, an animal sanctuary, hikes in the national park of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, mud bath/hot springs, and simply exploring other unique nearby beaches. The Guanacaste area has a couple of golf courses as well. An excellent variety of dining choices, shopping and entertainment can be found in the nearby towns of Playa Hermosa and Coco.
Ocotal is an easy 35 minute drive from Liberia Airport, and just 10 minutes past the more bustling town of Coco. It is a solid 3½ - 4 hour drive from SJO airport which just gives an excuse to see more cool stuff along the way in this amazing country. A car is recommended for the ease of getting around and exploring the wonders of the area, and Casa Uno has a parking space at the house and other nearby parking in the development. It is also possible to rent a golf cart or use local taxis/Uber, shuttles, private and outfitter’s transport to get where you need to go from Casa Uno. Hiring transport is one way to add a strong local flavor to your experience.
In whatever way you choose to get around, for sure take some moments to understand the warm, good-humored pura vida culture in Costa Rica.

Casa Uno was a great vacation for my family of five. We had 3 kids aged 7-17 that were comfortable and felt at home. The lanai was a nice retreat for teenagers and my daughter the immediate access to the beach. We went next door to Fathers Roosters everyday and that restaurant was so nice and welcoming and right on beach with delicious frozen pina coladas and frozen lemonade. It was the perfect location for excursions. The owners were quick in communication and very accommodating. We hope to return one day!

Casa Uno was an absolutely fantastic place for our family of four. The home is incredibly spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need, including a washer and dryer which made a big difference for us. You can tell Liz and Sergio have poured a lot of love and attention to detail into every part of the home. The plunge pool is perfect for cooling off, and the sunset views are simply stunning—something we looked forward to every evening.One of the best parts is the location. The beach is literally just steps out the back door, and the calm water makes it ideal for smaller kids to play safely. At night, the beach comes alive with sand crabs, which was such a fun and unique experience. Communication from the hosts was excellent from start to finish.The only “cons” really have nothing to do with the home itself, but more with visiting during Semana Santa. The beach was very crowded, and we had a few people wander onto the property thinking the steps led to public access. There was also a lot going on nearby—vendors calling out all day, extra foot traffic, and even some unexpected “lack of awareness” from people in the parking area next door. A few beachgoers also used the neighborhood pool when the beach got too full.That said, none of this reflects on the house or hosts. Despite being the first home in the community and seeing a bit more traffic, we always felt completely safe. Casa Uno is truly a special place, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

Liz and Sergio were wonderful hosts! The access to the beach was unbeatable!! The whole family enjoyed all of the amenities of the house; especially the plunge pool to cool off after the hot sun on the beach. The lanai was a favorite spot to play cards and have coffee each morning. Thank you for the hospitality!!
