If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, rather than staying in a hotel or a resort, you may want to consider staying in a beach rental property. Costa Rica beach rentals are available through many online sites, such as VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner) or through private property management agencies. Staying in a beach rental allows you the chance to have a more private Costa Rican experience, while still enjoying all the luxury that a resort or hotel can offer. Condos, homes, and villas are all available as beach rentals. Some of the benefits of a beach rental include lower nightly prices than a hotel, more room, the chance to bring your pets or travel more easily with your children, and have access to more amenities.
Throughout the Guanacaste Province, known as the Gold Coast, home to some of the most beautiful and famous beaches of Costa Rica you will find many luxurious and fully equipped beach rentals. The towns of Playa Potrero, Flamingo Beach, Surfside, and Playa Conchal feature some of the nicest beach rentals, right on some of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Many of these beach rentals offer weekly and monthly rental rates, providing a lower nightly price point than a resort or hotel in the same area. This area is home to some of Costa Rica’s most well-known and respected resorts, such as The Westin Golf Resort and Spa and Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort, which do offer day passes for guests staying in a beach rental who still want to take advantage of the spa services and activities available at these resorts. Staying in a beach rental and making a day trip to a nearby resort allows you the best of both worlds: high end luxury and resort style services, with the privacy of your own Costa Rica beach rentals.
Beach rentals offer more space than a room or a suite in a hotel can provide. When you rent a house, condo, or villa, on average you will get 1,850 square feet in which to relax and enjoy your time in Costa Rica, compared to the average 325 square feet of a hotel or resort room. In addition, you will have your own kitchen, living room, yard space, and direct access to a beach. Many beach rentals in Costa Rica also accepts pets, so for those wishing to vacation with their fury friends, the option to do so is available, while most resorts and hotels will not allow this. Traveling with young children is also easier when you stay in a beach rental rather than a resort, as you have more privacy, more space, a more quiet setting, and often times more helpful amenities such as high chairs or play pens, even cribs. If you let the property management company know what special needs you have, they will be able to help you find a beach rental to accommodate you and those you are traveling with.
Many units also offer amenities such as laundry services, private cooks, swimming pools, and access to surf boards, bikes, or other recreational equipment. Costa Rica beach rentals are the perfect way to experience the luxury of the area, while you enjoy your privacy and relax completely.
