Busy location
The home was comfortable, love the outdoor kitchen and dining area. Right on a busy road next to the beach it is loud at night while trying to sleep. We left early due to the noise and the host refunded some of money even though not obligated to, very nice of him.

Nice Location and fun atmosphere.
This was a nice place to stay and was close to everything without being in the middle of it. Lots of restaurants walking distance and in between 2 towns if you need to get something. The beach is directly across the street. This street is the only road on this coast so it can get a little busy/noisy. House only holds 4 at most but if you had a few friends staying around this would be a great place to meet up cook meals and walk to the beach. Biggest drawback is no A/C so if your not use to humid weather it could get a little warm for you but the ceiling fans will cool you off.

We needed this particular location, 2 bedrooms, 2 washrooms, and additional outside shower, so it suited us. We knew it is just on the road, so we were prepared for the noise. The owner and the property manager are very nice. Good communication and immediate response.

Steps from Cocles Beach - as advertised!
Beautiful beach steps away! The king bed was very comfortable - two fans and ocean breezes to keep you cool. The outdoor and indoor shower were warm with lots of pressure. Communication with host and property manager was prompt. Accurate description off an outdoor kitchen, no air conditioning, and traffic noise. Heads up - the revving of ATV’s and motorcycles can be LOUD. But you knew that.

Great location, responsive hosts
This house is in an amazing location and comes stocked with beach essentials (nice Tommy Bahama-style backpack chairs, towels, even noodles!). The hosts are wonderful. The hosts left plenty of bottled water for us to use, and the kitchen is well stocked with pans, French press, etc. It was fun to cook while looking over the ocean! Quick note on the layout for future renters: the house is laid out bathroom-first bedroom-second bedroom, so to get to the indoor bathroom, you have to walk through the first bedroom. The second bedroom has its own door to the outside and can access the (fully private) outdoor shower and toilet. It was fine for our group. The hosts were extremely responsive and quickly sent someone to fix the one issue we had. I would highly recommend them!

Beachside gem!
We had a wonderful time while here. The place is thoughtfully designed and incredibly convenient for fun at the beach. We weren't ready for how loud the traffic would be, at all hours or how warm without AC, but were able to adjust and thoroughly enjoy the time there. The mojitos at the hotel bar next door were delicious!

Great Location and Home
We really enjoyed staying at this property. The home is very comfortable and the location is great. The big fans directly above the beds made sleeping comfortable. The property manager and owner were very responsive. There is traffic noise, but that did not bother us. Our only complaint would be the ants - there were way more than we've dealt with on previous trips to CR - but I would still recommend this home without hesitation.

Beautiful Property at the Beach
My wife and I stayed 6 nights at Dan's property and it was in a beautiful location right across from Cocles Beach. The property was well appointed and I really did enjoy cooking in the outdoor kitchen, having morning coffee and people watching throughout the day. We enjoyed quick trips into Puerto Viejo and Cahuita and we enjoyed long walks on the beach. It was easy to go 2 hours. The beach was never busy like when we were in Samara which was nice and the ocean was beautiful. One thing you need to be prepared for is the noise from the road in front. It is our only thing we had trouble with. During the day it's busy, but the traffic is typically slow, but at night they go way faster and it was very difficult to sleep. Dan did let us know into our trip about a speaker they use with white noise and they do have ear plugs as well. Those helped but just know it is disruptive sleeping. At least it was for us. I'm not sure we'll be back to the Caribbean side but if we are I would stay again.

Noisy but nice
Although other reviewers mentioned the noise of the street outside our rental, it was pretty continuous and very loud at times but it was interesting for people watching. Convenient to many beaches, stores and restaurants.

What can I say about this place? Our shuttle was late, and the communication with the property manager was amazing. When we showed up over and hour late, she was there waiting for us to give the info on the property. The owner, Dan, was amazing about communication before we even showed up. This was our first time in Costa Rica, and Dan answered our plethora of questions. The stay? Amazing. Cooking food while watching waves crash on the beach was amazing. Yes, it was loud because of the road, but that’s a small sacrifice to make for the location. Bring earplugs if you think it’ll be an issue. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Clean, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful!!!

Best possible stay across the road from the beach!
Knew it would be loud traffic, but the most magical place we’ve stayed. Cooking your food while overlooking the waves on cocles beach, and sunrise, absolutely best beach place we’ve ever stayed at! Dan was the man; made this place I wish I could live in! If we ever return, this would be our magical place! I can’t even put it into words!

Great place in Cocles!
I have travelled extensively in Costa Rica for years. Have you ever dreamed of finding a cute little surf shack on a beach in Costa Rica? This is your place! A great combo of "rustic" feel with all the amenities. Just 5 minutes from Puerto Viejo proper and facing a fantastic beach! This place was just a few weeks old when we visited. Communication with Dan and his team was superb. Check in was easy. I can highly recommend Dan-os Place to anyone who will be in the area!
