Acerca de este alojamiento
¡NUEVO! Villa en primera línea de playa con piscina. Hospeda familias grandes, grupos o pequeños retiros.
Cubali Town es un barrio histórico, llamado así por un pescador muy querido, cuyo hijo sigue siendo el capitán del puerto local. Visitamos esta propiedad por primera vez en 2004, pero no fue sino hasta 2016 que la compramos y nos propusimos el sueño de crear algo especial; y de acuerdo con la tradición de Playa Chiquita, celebre a las mujeres que nos han inspirado.
Un carril tranquilo, apenas lo suficientemente ancho para un automóvil, lo lleva a esta joya escondida: Chiquita Escondida. Una villa de diseño único que cuenta con cinco edificios, un grupo de espacios para retiros, reuniones familiares o varias parejas que viajan juntas: un gran rancho abierto, tres casitas que albergan cuatro dormitorios principales / suites de baño y una gran sala de juegos que permite dormir desbordando . La propiedad tiene capacidad para 12 personas y se alquila como una sola unidad. Hospedamos solo un grupo a la vez para asegurarle el máximo disfrute de todas las funciones.
Los senderos que recorren los jardines tropicales y las áreas de descanso al aire libre, pasan junto a una piscina, atraviesan un arroyo estacional y bajan por el sendero a la playa. Cinco estructuras separadas muestran colores, texturas y materiales específicos del tema, maximizando las características variadas de la propiedad: playa, jardines y selva. Agrupadas, las unidades independientes, para garantizar la máxima privacidad para los amigos que viajan juntos, grupos de retiro o simplemente su familia multigeneracional. Cada habitación está equipada con una cama king size o dos camas individuales XL. Todas las habitaciones tienen ventanas con marcos de seguridad, ventiladores de techo, puertos de carga de dispositivos, ropa de cama de calidad, servicio de café y té y productos de baño de fabricación local.
Frente a la playa, Elsea, una unidad de dos pisos que nada en los colores del Caribe. La habitación de la planta baja cuenta con un generoso porche frente al mar, amplia zona de estar interior, ping pong, cocina y un baño compacto. Las áreas de asientos proporcionan desbordamiento para dormir hasta cuatro Arriba, una gran suite de dormitorio principal se abre a un porche privado con vistas a la playa y al océano, el baño cuenta con un gran tocador con dos lavabos, una gran ducha a ras de suelo inspirada en el profundo mar azul, un inodoro privado y dos armarios. La brisa del mar te mantiene fresco todo el día y las olas te adormecen.
Viola, una unidad de un solo piso se encuentra en el jardín, creciendo camuflada con sus plantas enredaderas, extensas verdes. y un baño atrio único en su tipo. La habitación cuenta con ventanas de pared a pared, protegidas y protegidas con marcos artísticos de seguridad, las cortinas que fluyen garantizan la privacidad. Una pequeña cocina le permite preparar su primera taza de café para disfrutar en su terraza antes de salir de la cabina. Báñese en una bañera con patas en un jardín interior privado con brisa de aire salado o disfrute de la ducha de doble cabeza con vistas al jardín.
Berta A y Shirley B son cabañas consecutivas que comparten una pared común y vistas densas de la jungla. Cada uno cuenta con una terraza privada encaramada sobre el arroyo, con vistas a la piscina y los senderos de la jungla. Despiértese con una vista de enormes árboles gemelos que albergan orquídeas, bromelias, tillandsias y un perezoso ocasional. Cada uno tiene un baño privado completo con duchas que ofrecen otra vista de los jardines de las copas de los árboles: Shirley B es accesible para discapacitados.
Por último, Dona, el rancho, combina la pasión del propietario por la construcción de estilo Craftsman con el estilo de vida caribeño fácil y alegre que celebra la vitalidad de los trópicos. Una gran cocina equipada con electrodomésticos de calidad, una isla central generosa y una barbacoa incorporada con nevera y barra de bar, seguramente recibirán muchas manos ayudando o animando a los cocineros. Sin paredes en tres lados, luz brillante, brisa aireada y hermosos paisajes a cada paso. Un plano de planta abierto conecta la cocina con los asientos y comedores interiores con cubiertas cubiertas envolventes, difuminando las líneas entre el exterior y el interior.
Una cubierta descubierta conduce desde el rancho a la piscina con una entrada a la playa, cubierta húmeda y un área profunda. Un medio baño está convenientemente ubicado, y una ducha al aire libre enjuaga la sal y la arena antes de disfrutar de la piscina. El diseño general cuenta con un delicioso oasis tropical que nunca querrás abandonar ... pero, la playa está al final del sendero.
Comience el día con un despertador de mono aullador y llegue a la playa a tiempo para ver el amanecer, con una costa orientada al norte, disfrutamos de la singularidad del amanecer y las puestas de sol sobre los puntos costeros al este y al oeste. Un viaje a la playa es solo pasos, literalmente como 15 pasos y estás en el Mar Caribe haciendo snorkel en uno de los mejores arrecifes de la costa. Reúnase con su guía para un paseo a caballo por la playa o termine el día con una fogata en la playa. Durante la temporada adecuada, la luminiscencia en el agua, las luciérnagas en el monte de la playa y la iluminación de la costa crean la trifecta de la magia brillante.
Las actividades están disponibles, pero no exageradas, es un ambiente relajado en el Caribe Sur. El Jaguar Rescue Center se encuentra a 7 minutos a pie, los mercados están a 5 o 10 en bicicleta, dependiendo de la forma en que gire cuando llegue a la carretera pavimentada. El autobús público funciona regularmente y por un dólar puede llegar a Puerto Viejo o Manzanillo en unos 15 minutos. O si planea conducir, limite el número de vehículos en la propiedad a no más de 3, queremos priorizar la belleza y el espacio verde sobre los estacionamientos.

Great location and outstanding host! It is a rustic experience, so you want to be prepared for the outside being inside everywhere. Good breeze, but mid-day is sticky. You have to love nature to enjoy staying here. It is quite noisy to sleep without insulation and with barking dogs next door. The beach is steps away, and the town and food are great.

It was just as pictures show-gorgeous, lush plantings, sloths, monkeys, beautiful birds! My family was so comfortable in accommodations and loved being so close to beach as well as pool! We had Ian do yummy dinner for us as well as breakfast goodies. Janet & Nick( the hosts)are super helpful. We found plenty of markets for food, and lots of great restaurants. The family loved the zip line, waterfall hike, surfing, & kayaking. We all agreed it was great family vacation!

Thank you Mark for taking the time to review your stay. We kept ourselves busy with new projects during the pandemic, so I hope you'll come back and enjoy the changes! We planted more fruit trees, added a hydroponic garden at our other property, Chiquita Escondida, and put in a green house to help with propagating starts for the garden.
We hope you and your family are all well.

Amazing property for family gathering!
What a special spot! The property grounds are beautiful and work so well for larger groups! We had a group of 10 and it was so nice for all of us to have our own space in the cabins/casitas while also having the large common areas for cooking, eating, and hanging at the pool! Beach access is a short walk down a shared path and it’s gorgeous! Grocery stores nearby so it makes it super easy to shop and prepare food at the home! During our stay we also saw a ton of wildlife, including howler monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and more! This is a gorgeous part of Costa Rica, relatively untouched by commercial giants, so you can really enjoy a quieter, more authentic experience!

Great Beachfront in Playa Chiquita 😊😊
Loved staying here with my family including two kids age 10 and 8. The location could not be better, having a swimming pool is great after the beach, and the space the rancho provides is very nice. The Elsea house has a great master room overlooking forest while the beach peaks through. Sloths and monkeys go by every day. I would stay here again

When we were building out the property, one of the things we kept forefront, was that people want to socialize and play and be in a comfortable place together... but also have space without being isolated! So the design had to offer space to be en masse, as well as space to be involved but apart. I love the options in the rancho/pool area, be nearby, but free to read a book and not miss the fun.
I'm so glad that worked for your group!!

Chiquita Escondida did not disappoint! This amazing property was everything we were looking for and more. We were close enough ride bikes or walk to the Jaguar Rescue, fish market, grocery store, restaurants and activities. The beach is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, and just a few steps from the property. Everything is so perfectly thought out. We wanted for nothing!

Excellent Place!!!
We absolutely loved our stay. It was beautiful, the layout was great and provided so much room for our 2 families. Our kids swam in the pool every day! The proximity to the beach was wonderful and we loved the huge coral reef right offshore. I snorkeled every day we were there. We saw tons of fish, some squid and even 2 sting rays. The seas were very calm, which I guess was a bit unusual for that area. The wildlife viewing was also incredible. We saw a troop of howler monkeys on the beach and a sloth in the tree right next to the VRBO. The only downside is there is no air conditioning. No problem for me and my family as the fans worked just fine for us. But our stay was during a heat way and my sister (from Michigan) and her Scottish husband were a bit uncomfortable. In my mind the tradeoff of not having AC was 100% worth it for how incredible the place was.

Thanks Jon for the fair review. We were in the US during your stay, but we did hear constant reports of how unseasonably HOT and DRY it was for so long. I'm sorry I missed the snorkeling! That is a beautiful reef just steps from the house, isn't it?!
I understand your friend's difficulty with the heat, fitting for those from cool climes, all the local extrajanos were complaining. We made a decision during development of the property to build as ecologically sensitive as we could; preserving trees, using energy efficient methods, and as you point out, no air conditioning. Very few people find they need it, and usually the overhead fans are sufficient. In my absence, I regret I did not instruct to offer your friends additional floor fans during the hottest days.
We are glad you enjoyed the property and found it fit well for your group's needs. We hope we'll have the pleasure to host you again.

Absolutely wonderful property and location
Chiquita Escondida is one of those hidden gems you want to keep to yourself for fear of it becoming so popular you’ll never get to experience it again. The location, yards from the stunning Caribbean Sea and a nearly secluded beach, is perfect. You can hear the waves crashing from the common areas and the villas. The property itself has everything you would need for a perfectly relaxing vacation - the beds are super comfy, the kitchen fully equipped, pool is glorious and common space wonderfully designed and yet cozy. The homeowners, Janet and Nick, have included and thought of everything you could need. Plus their communication and response is unmatched among vacation rental homeowners. Janet knows the region like the back of her hand and can recommend everything from a delicious meal (while giving you the direct number to restaurant owners for reservations) to a covid test provider.
If you’ve come across this property listing do yourself a favor and book it without hesitation. You will not regret it.

Everything we hoped for, and so much more. Nick and Janet were extraordinary hosts. Thoughtful and kind going far above what we expected. They provided contacts for rides, any information we desired about excursions, restaurants and even personal chefs and a photographer. My husband and I were unfortunately both sick; Janet made me a homemade tonic, that actually worked! And my husband’s illness, she was willing to drop everything and drive him in the pouring rain to a clinic, fortunately we didn’t have to take her up on her offer.
The location….gorgeous! A jungle setting on the beach. Plenty of space and comfortable. Beaches are quiet and have a natural beauty.
A charming community with a friendly small town feel. Felt very safe and well taken care of.
I would recommend getting bikes for transportation.

Pura Vida!
We were a group of seven friends looking for a place to vacation together, and we found it! The layout of this "compound," as our group dubbed it, was ideal. The main hub was the kitchen/common area, with our personal villas we could retreat to whenever we wanted. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and then some. The villas/rooms also had everything you needed to be comfortable, and if anything was missing or you simply wanted something extra, all you had to do was ask.
It was only a short distance to the beach, and what a beautiful beach it is! The property is very conveniently located - the town of Puerto Viejo is a short car or bicycle ride away. There were a few grocery markets even closer. Punta Uva (in the opposite direction) was also a short distance away by car or bicycle - we had heard from a local that it was the best beach for snorkeling, and we were not disappointed!
Janet and Nick are fantastic hosts. They've obviously been doing this for a while and know how to look after their guests. They had suggestions and recommendations for everything we asked about, which is always nice to hear from locals. Communication was always simple, and they genuinely cared about making our stay the best it could be.
I would highly suggest staying at Chiquita Escondida!! ❤️

Sometimes it's hard for me to even remember we used to have jobs that included commutes and travel and offices and meetings and actually having to wear long pants or even SHOES!! Ahhh, yeah, what's not to love? And of course sharing this with folks likes you is truly a delight and we are grateful. We hope to see you again!

Nothing Short Of Incredible
Our experience at Janet and Nick's place was wonderful. This was far and away our favorite vacation we have ever taken, and this was because our hosts were so warm, accommodating, knowledgable, and most of all, willing and eager to help.
The property is awesome. You have a huge communal space that brings the group together around the pool, hangout area, or when it's time to eat. You also have privacy. Each casita is great in it's own way, and they are very comfortable. Especially the beds. We slept better here than at home. Also, there are monkeys and sloths on the property, which was a lot of fun to watch. The property is right on the beach and you can even hear the ocean at night if you want to. It was very relaxing.
On this trip we went offshore fishing, lobster diving, spearfishing, hiking, whitewater rafting, made chocolate from scratch, saw countless animals, jumped into waterfalls, and countless other amazing things. At the center of all of this was Janet, who's connections and knowledge about the area make all of this a breeze. She connected us with tour guides, boat captains, and private chefs, who's breakfasts and dinners at our rental were our best meals. We made friends here in Puerto Viejo that we'll never forget, and memories that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend this place and this host enough.

Thank you for the generous compliments! I'm sorry for my delayed response. We've been busy building, and hosting, and even squeezed in our own short vacation. And, as it happens, I returned refreshed, but also assured this is indeed one of the rarest places on earth to be privileged to live!
We look forward to seeing you again, and hope all is well with you and your delightful families. Take care!

Fantastic Experience!
Janet and Nick are wonderful, generous hosts! Located down a private drive, the property is fantastic with the privacy of separate bungalows but a spacious open living area. The kitchen has all you will need to eat in but the house is perfectly located near several great restaurants. The beach is only steps away and it was such a luxury to have a pool on the property as well. However the highlight will be your jungle experience. Howler monkeys, a sloth and a dozen green macaws were all within view! A great place to relax, reconnect and experience a beautiful part of Costa Rica.

YES! You nailed it--monkeys, sloths and macaws! You can buy a good bed, find a great beach, and all that, but to have the experience of just chillin' any time of day (or night!) and have the wildlife seemingly perform for you is AMAZING. How in the world did we get so lucky?!
We look forward to seeing you again, and am very pleased you enjoyed your time in our home.

Nick and Janet have lived in Puerto Viejo since 2010, having visited 21 times over 5 years. It was either move or buy the airline. We think we made the right choice!
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
We first saw this property in 2004 and it never quite got out of our heads. When we finally decided to purchase it, we knew it was worthy of something special.
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
We created this property as a vacation rental for visitors who wanted a unique experience. We know from our years of travel, what we value most in a temporary home, and we tried to create it here. It has private and shared spaces, places to explore the flora and fauna of the area, comfort and even luxury without the pretense. We wanted to create a place that guests would delight in the special touches of art or craft or even funky findings. Handwork is our play, so we offer it to you to enjoy. We also incorporated our experiences living beachfront in the jungle to provide spaces that maximize the environment while limiting the impact.
