About this property
Walking distance to beautiful Playa Matapalo!
Located in Matapalo just 500 meters to the beach, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is close enough to enjoy all the amenities of Manuel Antonio without paying the price! This lovely home is located on the main road down to the beach, close to Guava Lodge and the Super del Mar, as well as the Turtle Rescue Center! With a large open living room, dining room, and huge open area this home is a great alternative to the tiny overpriced condos or expensive hotels in the tourist district! The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and its own bathroom, and the two guest bedrooms are next to the other bathroom off the main living area. One bedroom has two twin sized beds, the other has a full. A perfect option for families coming down for vacation! There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer! Playa Matapalo is a small community just 20 minutes down the highway from Quepos and Manuel Antonio, and 15 minutes from the surf paradise of Dominical, with a beautiful beach that is not nearly as busy as the beaches in Manuel Antonio. Experience the two best tourist areas and be able to get away for a fraction of the price!
**NEW IN 2018** Thanks to the talents a local builder and his crew...a rancho has been added to the property in the garden area so now there is a covered place to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee while listening to the surf and wildlife!

About the host

Why they chose this property
When we 1st traveled to Costa Rica we were captivated by the simplicity, beauty and culture of the country, especially Playa Matapalo. We weren't looking for high-tourist areas or crowds of people. It is perfect for unwinding and kicking back; simple and friendly with many amenities nearby for visiting friends and family.
