About this property
Hand-Carved Casita • Walk to Playa Avellanas
A one-of-a-kind hand-carved artisan casita just a short walk to Playa Avellanas beach—designed for a truly unique jungle living experience.
This is not a typical rental. Every detail of the space has been handcrafted, with custom woodwork throughout that makes this stay unlike anything else in the area.
The casita is designed to be open to its surroundings, with high wraparound windows that bring in natural light, fresh air, and views of the surrounding trees. Monkeys and parrots are often seen right from inside, creating a rare connection to the rhythm of the jungle.
Wake each morning with soft natural light and the sounds of Costa Rica all around you—an intentional design that embraces simplicity, openness, and connection to nature.
Located in the heart of Playa Avellanas, the casita is about a 10-minute walk to the beach, as well as a variety of restaurants and local shops.
Inside, the space includes: • Handcrafted bed with custom carved headboard • Artisan furniture and detailed woodwork throughout • Kitchenette with fridge, coffee maker, electric pan, rice cooker, slow cooker, and blender • Custom dining table with carved crocodile centerpiece • Air conditioning and ceiling fan for comfort • Private bathroom
Outside, unwind in the hammock or Adirondack chairs after a surf session or a day at the beach.
The casita is located near a local road, offering convenient access to the area. At times, you may hear passing vehicles as part of the natural rhythm of local life.
Designed for longer stays, this space is ideal for guests looking to settle in—whether surfing daily, working remotely, or enjoying a slower pace of life.
Best suited for guests who appreciate open-air living, natural light, and the character of a truly unique handcrafted space.

Really enjoyed staying in the Casita. It’s a very unique little place with tons of character and a great tropical feel. Everything was clean and comfortable and I loved relaxing outside surrounded by the gardens and nature. Avellanas beach is beautiful and an easy walk from the property. Ben was a great host and always available if I needed anything. Would happily stay here again.

Thank you so much! We’re really happy you enjoyed the Casita and its unique character. It’s such a special little place and we’re glad you enjoyed the gardens, nature and beautiful Avellanas beach. We would love to have you back anytime!
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful and we saw monkeys every afternoon eating mangos from the trees on the property. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beach over the iconic wooden boardwalk of Playa Avellanas. The house was clean and the AC was excellent. My family and I felt really safe and happy here on this private gated property and loved relaxing in the hammocks.
