About this property

You Found Your Own private Beach!

Accommodations:

The entire house is air conditioned. The third bedroom containing three (3) queen beds, is our VIP bedroom, with its exquisitely decorated master bath, a large tub, a glass enclosed shower, both with an ocean views.

The private beachfront pool area and tiki bar are right out of a dream! With a full bathroom including a shower located behind the Tiki Bar, as well as an outside shower protruding from a tree trunk by the pool.

This is truly paradise, one of the few areas of Costa Rica that is unspoiled and still untouched much by tourism. A place where you feel time has stood still. Just look at the actual photos of the beach or what could be “your beach” while staying at our property! As depicted in the photos, the tropical palm fringed beach of silver brown sand sits on a cove that is separated by two distinctly different rivers which are within walking distance.

The beach has a gentle rolling surf, safe for swimming without the concern of rip tides.

You should take a stroll to the river towards the north of the property in the morning, as the tide is going out, you can sit in the shallow portion of such and feel the natural Jacuzzi refresh your body!!

You can laze in the hammocks, soak up some sun or shade, read a book or just plain relax! Wildlife is abundant around the immediate area, as the property is surrounded by a rain forest.

Just take a moment and glance through the reviews. The words of those that have Enjoyed Rancho Rachmare weight substantially more than anything we can say in our ad.

Yes there are “cheaper” places to rent, but you will not find the Luxury, Convenience, Amenities and Privacy that we offer at Rancho Ramar.

Just one of many “aaahs” is our private beachfront pool and Tiki Bar that is there for you to enjoy privately with your family and/or guests.

All this paradise is enjoyed in a luxury style air conditioned house with its “ensuite” style bedrooms containing “California” style closets and private bathrooms as well as any amenity you can think of!

If you are looking for a crowded and complicated venue, look elsewhere, but if you are looking for a serene, tranquil and private beach vacation……Rancho RachMare is the choice.

We provide a daily “light”housekeeping service that includes “light cleaning” of the kitchen (no pots, pans or dishwashing), the dining and living room as well as all of the bathrooms. Light cleaning of all bedrooms to include linen change (in the middle of each seven (7) day stay and change of bath and pool towels every other day, at no charge.

Total housekeeping service (up to 4 hours daily) May be purchased directly with our housekeeper for $100 weekly.

Additionally, our Innkeepers can provide a entire array of amenities, e.g., cooking additional meals, making sure the house is stored with all your groceries when you arrive, massages, procuring horses to be brought to the property, fishing trips, etc., at a cost negotiated directly with them.

There are restaurants nearby that offer catering. The cross roads of San Francisco de Coyote (just eight (8) kilometers away) offer two small, but nicely stocked stores. At the other end of the cove, you can sometimes visit the local fishermen and purchase freshly caught fish.

Guide services, horseback touring and local fishing charters are available.

We are also able to provide transportation from any Costa Rican Airport, our goal is to make your trip as simple or as eloquent as you wish! Just ask!!


THANK YOU-Jose Luis and Susan

Was für ein wunderbarer Ort.
Wir waren in unserer kleinen Reise durch das schöne Costa Rica insgesamt 10 Nächte in diesem wunderbaren Haus. Es ist ein wunderschönes Anwesen mit reichlich Platz, geräumigen Zimmern, einen schönen Garten mit einem großen Pool und direktem Zugang zum Strand. Der Strand ist schön und gerade in den noch kühlen Morgenstunden hat man ihn kilometerweit alleine. Der Pazifik lädt zum Angeln, Surfen und Baden ein. Die Sonne taucht hier am Abend direkt in den Pazifik ein und erzeugt wunderbare Sonnenuntergänge. Wir waren mit insgesamt 6 Personen hier und hatten wirklich viel Spaß. Wir sind auf den Rücken die Pferde in den Sonnenuntergang geritten, mit den hiesigen Fischern erfolgreich angeln gewesen, haben eine Schmetterlingsfarm und Aras im Regenwald besichtigt, sind zu den Städten mit unseren Geländewagen über die Sandpisten gefahren und haben am Strand mit einem Glas Wein den Sonnenuntergang genossen. Die Köchin Cedie hat uns täglich ein Frühstück, Mittagessen und Abendessen kredenzt, welches immer sehr lecker war. Wir haben durch Ihr die costaricanische Küche genossen. Vor allem die frischen tropischen Früchte zum Frühstück waren immer das Highlight. Sie hat die Mahlzeiten immer in Absprache mit uns hergestellt, was aufgrund der Sprachbarriere auch manchmal zu witzigen Situationen führte. Wer Entspannung und das Abschalten von dem stressigen Alltag sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir bedanken uns nochmal recht herzlich bei Jose und Susan, dass wir in ihrem Haus wohnen durften.

Wonderful vacation!
Our family of 9 stayed for 10 days with ages ranging from 9-83years old. This was a mixture of adventure and relaxation all in one vacation. Zeidy, Jennifer and Henry are excellent hosts and went above and beyond for us. This is the best VRBO type vaca we’ve ever done. Jose was helpful and responsive with communications The roads are challenging at times and getting to the property is an adventure in itself. Rain makes it difficult and also driving at night adds to the challenge. Allow for extra time and if possible, use the Liberia airport. The roads are intimidating at first but this property is worth the effort of getting there. The property is so much better that the pictures. I know that’s hard to believe but it’s true. The house is well kept, spacious, has beautiful details throughout and is designed with luxury in mind. The pool is large and very nice. The beach is stunning and very secluded. There were barely any others enjoying it and most days we felt we had it to ourselves. The wildlife is abundant with many iguanas, crabs, birds, squirrels, etc. We went fishing with a local fisherman for a few hours and also went horseback riding on the beach. Zeidy helped to set everything up and also set up massages for us at the house. Zeidy is an amazing cook and we ended up staying in for every meal since we enjoyed her cooking so much. She made many authentic Costa Rican dishes which we loved! We highly recommend and hope to return in the near future!

Paradise
This is our second stay at Rancho Ramar (this year for one glorious month) and it did not disappoint! The service from Zeidy, Henry & Jennifer cannot be overstated, they are so professional, friendly and kind. Having staff on site one might think you would lack privacy; to the contrary our privacy was well respected and when needed the staff were instantly available. Rancho Ramar has become our second home and it feels like it! We have already booked our stays for 2024 & 2025. The beach is virtually deserted, fishing & surfing were fantastic and local restaurants & activities (GO TO THE JUNGLE BUTTERFLY FARM!) were just the quality & pace we were looking for. If what you want is to unwind and take in Costa Rica Rancho Ramar is just what you need! Can’t wait to return! Thank you for sharing your piece of Paradise with us Jose!

Perfect beach and spacious beautiful house
The house is all that is pictured and more! Lots of space and wonderful location -- beautiful secluded sandy beach just on the otherside of the gate. The furnishings and kitchen are well appointed, comfortable and well designed. Great outdoor furniture, including patio and deck ceiling fans that really helped with the bugs. This is the place for a quiet restful vacation -- as advertised, there's not much around (restaurants, stores, etc). Caretakers were helpful driving us to dinner and the nearby grocery. Bathrooms are beautiful (although no AC) and hot water is SLOW (like 10 minutes) to the master bath and kitchen (felt bad wasting soooo much water). Would note that the beds are DOUBLES not Queens. Two "cons" are easily rectified: 1. some maintenance issues -- broken faucet in masterbath, malfunctioning ceiling fans (told new ones on order) 2. House is difficult to find based on the info given for check in; a map would be helpful since it's an unnamed road. Would also note that you need to bring EVERYTHING -- coffee, tea, shampoo, soap, sugar, spices etc. Dish and hand soap is all that's provided.

Most Beautiful Beach Ever!
Our party of 11 stayed here for 4 nights. This house is amazing! We had pool parties in the wonderful pool and tiki bar. At night we were entertained by the crabs and frogs in the yard. There were monkeys in the trees across the street! During the day we could wander on the beach, finding pretty shells and giant sand dollars. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets in the evening on the beach. The location is remote but well worth the extra effort to get there. Despite the remoteness there are high quality restaurants not far from the house, it is just important to confirm they are open before you head out. This is also the best service I have ever received from a host. There are care takers on site eager to fulfill your every need. We expressed a want for boogie and surf board rental and they made it happen within an hour. If you are on the fence with this property, just go for it!

ABSOLUTE PARADISE!
We spent 3 weeks at Rancho Ramar and in a word it was enchanting! We were a group of as many as 9 adults, both family & friends. The home is spacious, well appointed & luxurious. No detail has been overlooked. Many in our group needed to work while on vacation & the space & Wifi allowed us to do that without so much as a hiccup. Sadie & Henry (the caretakers) attended to our every need promptly & flawlessly. From shuttles to & from Liberia airport, to arranging horse & surf board rentals, to grocery shopping, daily cleaning, massages (oh the massages!!) & grounds/pool maintenance Sadie & Henry did it all, while respecting our privacy. The service was seamless. The entire visit was perfect in every way, we have been 5 star hosts for 7 years & have to admit our bar is pretty high, we were not disappointed by a single thing. Joe (the owner) is available & attentive should the need arise (which it rarely did). The beach is exquisite, the pool is pristine, the tiki bar was a major gathering point & the kitchen is a dream. I could go on but I suppose the best review we could provide is to say we have booked Rancho Ramar for 5 weeks next year… we are already counting down the days! Thank you Sadie, Henry, Jennifer & Joe for providing us with a much needed break from the last 2 years, it’s almost like Covid never happened!

Everything it claims to be, and more!
Upon arrival, we were stunned by the beauty and craftsmanship of this home. The pool, the location, the grounds were all perfect. The beach was all our own, even though we came during peak Spring Break season. The restaurants close by were all wonderful. I cannot say enough about the service. Zeidy prepared all of our meals and even grocery shopped for us for a very reasonable cost. Her husband, Henry, was ultra accommodating as well. He took our family to meet the fishing boat, picked us up, helped us get in to our coconut and so much more. By the end of the week, Zeidy, Henry and their daughter were not just service providers, but also our friends. Jose, the owner, was helpful from the time we booked our home until the time our vacation was over. We have never had a more relaxing, but adventurous vacation. Be sure to check out the areas and beaches around Playa de Coyote, as well as the roads that lead inland. What a beautiful, awe-inspiring place!

La propiedad merece más que un 10, las fotos que están disponibles reflejan lo hermoso que es el lugar, pero sin duda, solo estando ahí se puede percibir realmente la belleza de la propiedad (casa, área de piscina, rancho y definitivamente el mar y la playa). Fuimos 10 personas de todas las edades y todos coincidemos que es un lugar espectacular, fue de nuestras mejores vacaciones en el país. Recomiendo 100% este lugar para aquellas personas que quieren pasar unos días relajantes y tranquilos fuera del bullicio de la ciudad y para quienes les gusta pasar el tiempo en la playa, es hermosa y limpia, además, no hay palabras para describir la vista de los atardeceres.

All in all, a great trip.
The house, pool, and beach were great. Remote property, not much to do unless you drive a little while, but we knew this when we rented the property. Minor problems with the kitchen: faucet barely worked, gas stove top burners would not stay lit, and refrigerator froze everything, even though we turned it to the lowest setting. No paper products were supplied other than a little toilet paper. There was a spice rack, but no salt or pepper. All in all, it was a great, relaxing trip.

A lovely house on a perfect beach.
3 couples enjoyed a fun week at Rancho Ramar! The house is well situated, right on Playa Coyote where we enjoyed hours of walking and swimming on this beautiful, long quiet beach. The house is spacious and comfortable and the pool a nice size and well kept by the house manager, Pilo. He sourced us fresh fish and boogie boards and even opened fresh coconuts, providing an unending supply of coconut water. Thank you Jose for sharing your paradise with us!

Preciosa Casa frente la mar.
Fuimos un grupo de amigos, 10 personas en total, la pasamos muy bien, la casa cuenta con todas las comodidades, cocina amplia y totalmente equipada, la sala es grande y cómoda, los cuartos son amplios y muy lindos al igual que los baños, la zona de la piscina y bar muy linda, al estar frente al mar le da una toque extra, nosotros jugábamos futbol en la playa y montamos una net de voleibol, la pasamos muy bien, se disfrutó mucho. En la noche hicimos una fogata frente a la playa, donde se pasó un rato muy agradable. Recomendada para familias o grupos de amigos, la verdad vale la pena el viaje hasta donde se encuentra la casa. Lo malo: - La zona donde se encuentra la casa es algo alejada y cuando fuimos los caminos no estaba en tan buen estado. - WiFi, la velocidad no es la ideal. - Supermercado un poco lejos, hay que llevar todo lo que se ocupa. - Fuimos en invierno y por esa razón por las tardes llovió un poco, pero eso es por la época del año. - No hay ningún lugar cerca donde se pueda salir en la noche a bailar o disfrutar en grupo.

Paradise!
Rancho Ramar is a beautiful home with a stunning view of the ocean. You can wake up in the morning, go for a dip in the private pool and then enjoy the warm waves of the ocean. This place is truly paradise. The house itself is just gorgeous. There is plenty of room for three families to stay in one house. We had a couple of surprises during our stay, but nothing that really detracted from our overall experience. The kitchen appliances were not at their best - the coffee maker and dishwasher were not the best, but they did do the job (at a minimal level). We also had to purchase a few minor items, such as extra toilet paper, dish cloths, salt & pepper and paper towels. These were simple things that should not stop you from renting this place (but you might want to bring a few of these items before you come). We would definitely consider renting this resort again - I highly recommend it! My kids LOVED the pool and the warm waters of the ocean were a major highlight. Excellent choice for families.

Awesome Spot
Rancho Ramar is located about the middle point of Playa Coyote. The beach is relatively undeveloped and therefore very quiet....but stunningly beautiful. Would likely take about two hours to walk the entire beach. There were four of us renting the place for a week and we stayed on the main floor. The upstairs is available but seemed unfinished. The pool area is lovely but shade can be challenging as the day progresses. There are no umbrellas to seek shade under. There is a bar area with a bbq that we used to get out of the sun. Note: you need to come prepared with most basic pantry items as none were provided. We discovered no sugar, salt, pepper etc. but there was a spice rack. You must bring in everything yourself and there really is only one grocery store about a ten minute drive (closed Sunday). There are no beach amenities such as chairs, umbrellas, or any toys so if you want to play on the beach you must bring stuff with you. Towels are not an issue. There is an adjacent house where the managers live in case you need them for any reason. Overall we loved our stay but we got off to a rough start arriving on Sunday without the cooking materials we thought would be provided. We were missing some other essential items but the owner (Jose) addressed them right away and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

Second visit even better than the first!
Returned this week from our second visit to Rancho Ramar. We loved our 7 day visit last year so much (see review below), this time we stayed 10 days! Upon arrival we found the home & the grounds in immaculate condition. Only disappointment was missing the coconut harvest. Loved that coconut milk 1st time! Pilo & Noylin helped us in anyway they could throughout our stay. We were able to converse, for the most part. If we were stumped, we communicated through Spanish/English translation apps on our phones & iPads. Worked great! Contrary to the previous reviewer(Elizabeth), Pilo was very respectful of our privacy. He works hard to keep the grounds kept. Most mornings, he was up at daylight doing his thing & was out of our way the rest of the day. If we needed something or needed his help, we could find him in the casita he & his wife stay in. The internet isn't blazing fast but so what. We could still get the info we needed & send messages. I couldn't vouch for using cell phones (sim cards etc.). Didn't use mine. We went there to get away & relax. Jose (Joe) was every bit as awesome to work with this time as last. He genuinely wants you to have a great experience. He is great about answering any questions/concerns you might have. We had all our contact both prior to & during our visit by email. Needless to say, if you are considering Rancho Ramar, DO IT! For those who have signed up or plan on it, I would offer some insights we gained about the area. 1. At Joe's recommendation, we contacted Vamos 4x4 car rental online. Awesome to work with. Upfront $ total. No b.s. & no surprises. 2. The road from Liberia to Jicaral is paved. The last 42 km to Rancho Ramar is not. No biggie. There are signs all the way to San Francisco de Coyote. Joe has instructions that help. 3. We bought groceries in Nicoya, but it's surprising how much they have at Super Rey market in S.F. We took a chance & froze steaks, hamburgers, & bacon in "seal a meal" bags and put them in the bottom of our suitcases. No problems at the airport. They were still plenty frozen after 12+ hours! 4. Zipline in Montezuma was great. $45 each & it takes you to the waterfall there. The road there has been graded & is much improved. 5. All the local restaurants are good. Loma Cara was our favorite. Rafael (owner) ordered us fresh local produce with his order. 6. Take bug spray ("no see um" bugs). Some in our group used it, however I never used it once! 7. Have fun!

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome to Rancho Ramar!!!

I was invited to visit Costa Rica by a friend in 1997. It was love at first sight and I soon purchased the property in 2000.

At the outset, the property had a simple beach home, which our family enjoyed for many years. We did not think of renting it at the time, because it lacked a lot of the creature comforts that renters would expect.

However, the property is now described by neighbors as “The prettiest and most luxurious property in all of Coyote and Coyote Beach”.

We welcome you to enjoy it; with its private beachfront pool and Tiki Bar area that resembles some of those found in the world’s finest resort, and the well appointed and equipped house! From the minute you set foot in our property, it will be quite clear that all of the appointments that you would expect are present.

A great advantage to renting our property is that because its primary purpose is for the enjoyment of our family and friends, no detail has been spared. You will enjoy amenities that you will not find elsewhere like beach colors and decorations, pillow top mattresses, and so much more.

Lastly, being that our family has been visiting Costa Rica for so long, we can arrange for just about anything during your stay. From horseback riding to fishing, surfboard rentals, and just about anything that you can possibly imagine or want.

Our family’s number one concern is to ensure a most memorable experience, one that you will remember all of your lives……….Of course, you can just enjoy the beach and do everything at your own pace!!!

We certainly hope that you enjoy the property as much as our family has and will for years to come!! Wishing you the best of vacations…….

Sincerely, Joe Monteagudo.
