Why the Owner Chose Playa Conchal
We chose to buy the property because we have been coming to the region for 35 years and it's absolutely beautiful. We’re in an area of Playa Conchal unspoiled of construction and development so the place is very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. A must visit!
There's a beach entrance and another entrance from the street heading towards the town of Brasilito.
...town of Matapalo. Here you can find humble town restaurants and 2 small grocery stores. Here you go either to the town of Huacas or to Playa Grande.
Great beach with good consistent surf. You can find restaurants and surf shops. There's a good sushi place too!
...town of Huacas. You can find a big supermarket with better prices, restaurants, and internet-cafe.
Owner's Map of Playa Conchal
Ligia is 63 and Huber 65. They raised nine children, from 24 to 41 years old now. Andres is 28 and helps to run the small family compound of two houses and two apartments at Playa Conchal. Our “Casa Rosada”, one of the houses, is the one featured here on VRBO. Ligia is a superb cook who supervises the two maids and the gardener. Huber loves kayaking and runs the remodeling and maintenance of the units. Andres takes care of customers and surfs the waves at Playa Grande. Ligia and Huber also have a large property at the Rio Pacuare area in Turrialba where they plant trees that will feed wild animals and birds. They have a beautiful orchid and heliconia collection at their house in San Jose and at the farm.
They have traveled through Costa Rica’s beaches for years. Many of them are beautiful but when they “discovered” Conchal, Minas and Playa Real - practically one next to the other - they knew they could not ask for more. They lived in Florida for twelve years before returning to Costa Rica. Six of their children still live in the US with their grandchildren.

I have traveled to many of the beaches of Costa Rica and have not found such a beautiful location. This hotel is located minutes away from the most pristine beaches in Costa Rica. The hotel is clean, well taken care of, and the staff are quite helpful. Overall the crowd at the hotel was a mix of different nationalities and world travelers. You are treated well and the staff is more than happy to help you find what need. Great job. Highly recommended.

A Mellow Taste of Costa Rica for the (Slightly) Adventurous

This is a wonderful destination for the slightly adventurous--especially those seeking beach time, relaxation, and the occasional surfing excursions. Andres, our genial host, managed to keep us entertained and informed as he pointed out some of his favorites:low-key, un-touristy restaurants a short hop away in the Tico fishing village of Brasilito; great surf instructors for novices; and virtually deserted stretches of beaches. The staff at the Casa, including a cook recommended by Andres, were friendly and helpful--ensuring that our family of four enjoyed a relaxing taste of stunning Costa Rica. Visitors with some Spanish-speaking abilities will find fluency helps in communicating with residents in the small town of Matapalo, a short drive away over sometimes washboard roads. While we heard--but never saw--the howler monkeys, and were relieved that the supposed pumas never materialized, there is more to explore, and we hope to make a return visit.

This little hotel was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy my vacations! I have been there 3 times now and I've had a great experience each time. There is so much to do in the surrounding areas and great beaches in every direction! It'd be the ideal place for a big or small family, or even just as a romantic getaway with your partner, spouse, etc. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Thank you for such a great time!

This was my first visit to Costa Rica but it will be my last. What a lovely place to stay. If you want quiet beaches to walk on and a comfortable place to stay “Playa Conchal” has it. The photos don’t show you how beautiful the place actually is. The wildlife was everywhere from monkeys, iguanas, turtles and colorful birds. Andes was a very helpful and informative host.

This is the real Costa Rica experience. Quiet, except for the abundant wildlife, comfortable surroundings and great hosts. Hiking is amazing with secluded beaches to wind swept rocky points and tropical forests within easy walks. Swimming, body surfing, diving, snorkeling, kayaking and beach combing within a short walk. Horseback riding or four wheeling tours are available too. Playa Grande, a world class surfing beach is within a short drive. We did all these and more. The accommodations have full kitchens so you can stock up at the local markets or go to any of the great restaurants in the area. I can't say enough good things about this place. I expect to make many more visits here in the future.

This was my third visit to Villas La Paz at Playa Conchal and each trip just gets better. The staff does an excellent job with the rooms and grounds. The family is doing an excellent job adding new attractions. The kayaks were an unexpected treat. Exploring the hiking trails, located right outside the property gates, leads to some beautiful settings. We saw two turtles on Playa Minas within 15 minutes walking distance of the house. Andres does an excellent job arranging tours and even went as far as to give surf lessons. I would highly recommend the tour to Rincon and the waterfall. The photos of the listing cannot do justice to the beauty of the property and surrounding area. I already have my reservation for next year.

I have to say I was very, very impressed!! It was by far one of the best places to stay at and one of the best experiences of my life. I have traveled all over Costa Rica and stayed in several places however none of them were fit to hold a candle to until I found these houses. Location is a killer: You just can't beat the location. You are in walking distance from the beaches, you can see monkey's, go scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, etc. The place is so peaceful and grounds where the houses are located is completely covered in beautiful trees. They have a swimming pool and a jacuzzi. The place is simply amazing! Rooms are amazing: They have satellite TV, full kitchen (with sink, full size fridge, full size stove, full set of silverware), they have hammocks, porch desk, great beds, remote control AC, etc. The place is just loaded. It is the one place that could be compared to Paradise Island! Simply amazing. Everyone I brought with me on these trips was super, super impressed with the location and the entire stay. If you are taking a trip within Costa Rica, then I must say that this must be on your list!! It is by far the most attractive place I have ever visited in the country. Needless to say, I have been there 5 times already and planning my next trip!

What a perfect get-a-way from the hustle and bustle of busy city life! You are in the heart of the "dry" rain forest with luscious jungle and beautiful beaches! I highly recommend it for those who want to get away to a tropical paradise!

Our group of 3 had every convenience we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to everyone. The rooms were nice, there is a full kitchen, a wonderful lanai, a beautiful pool, great surroundings and it is close to the beach. Andres was an excellent host.
