True Costa Rican Vibe
Wonderful time spent in a property that made me feel like i was staying where i was. Atypical construction true to the area. Not some sanitized corporate property. Hosts were wonderful and responsive! When we left we felt like we had made friends!

Amazing place to stay in Playa Avellanas!
My husband and I spent three weeks in Playa Avellanas. The house was perfect with a short walk to the beach and multiple restaurants. We loved getting up in the morning, drinking coffee, and listening to the local troop of Howler Monkeys. We appreciated being able to cook in a well-stocked kitchen and have a centrally located home for our travels in western Costa Rica. Finally, I can't say enough about our hosts, Gabi and Rick. They live on the property, were very generous with their time, answered lots of questions for us, and overall made our stay comfortable and memorable!

Blue Lagoon is rustic and has all the basics you need
Tip # 1 google maps took us on a wild goose chase but Waze app worked well. Top #2 **Leave your key in the door when you are home or hide it on the property. The door automatically locks when closed.(it was blown closed numerous times). The owners were home when this happened to us the first time and were quick to let us back in. We got accustomed to the split level kitchen and the other steps throughout the house quicker than I thought we would. WIFI can be spotty in C.R. (esp. in the evening) and we lost electricity for a few hours one day (this happened to us on a previous trip to a different part of C.R.as well). We were able to cook on the gas stove. We had packed flashlights and Gabby provided some candles so it was no problem. We found we needed to boil water to make it hot enough for dishwashing (common in C.R.) also kitchen towels are not customary in C. R. There was warm water in the shower. We enjoyed spending time outdoors in the shade on the benches and hammock as well as supper under the stars on table and bench side of the house. There were a few bugs in the evening so pack accordingly. We enjoyed our walk (15-20 mins.) to the beach on the path through the Mangrove for a day at the beach. We stopped for a smoothie and Micheladas at Lola's to watch surfers and stayed on the beach to watch the lovely sunset. You can rent beach chairs from Lola's for 20 USD (we didn't). Or just sit in the restaurant area in front of the beach.They stop food orders at 5 and close at 6 (not sure if this is normal or due to the pandemic beach curfew). We didn't eat here or at any of the restaurants since we had a fridge full of food! We took advantage of the fantastic fish from Thursday's fish truck. We got 2.4 kg (1.3 tuna and 1.1 Mahi Mahi) for 19950 colones. (We did not meet the fruit and vegetables vendor truck because our stay was short) We also bought 1 litre of Rick's honey for 7000 colones. Gabby was very respectful of our privacy yet easily accessible. She is just a text away on the other side of the hibiscus bush if you need anything. This was our 2nd of 20 - 3 day rentals =60 days in costa rica. it was our least expensive by a bit. wonderful hospitality, gabby!

A month spent in the delightful casita “The Blue Lagoon Surf Beach House” was absolutely stellar 👍🏼🙏🏻. Gabriela and Richard are marvelous hosts, extremely friendly and helpful without being a bit intrusive. The neighbor is great and local businesses friendly too. The beach is awesome. Altogether a wonderful experience at a good price. BOOK IT! 😊😊

Excellent stay
It was an amazing trip made complete by my stay with Richard and Gabriella. There was open communication before and during my trip to make sure everything was squared away and to my liking. the house was accurate to the listing online. The renters live next door so if you need anything they are right there and are very friendly and accommodating. The property and house is clean and beautiful. Perfect if you want to get away from the city and enjoy peace and quiet. Still restaurants and hotels nearby if you wanted to go out to eat. The nearby beach is beautiful and great for relaxing, surfing, swimming and great coastline for taking a nice walk.

Excellent, quiet beach experience
If you’re looking for a quiet experience and great surf then this guest house is a great choice. The owners live on the property and are wonderful people. Their local knowledge and kindness adds to the experience. Beautiful palm canopy, sounds of birds and monkeys in the morning and a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach and surf. The kitchen is well-stocked and makes eating in easy. If you’re looking for a place away from the typical tourist development and hustle this might be the one for you.

Beautiful and Charming!
The property is absolutely magnificent, it made our stay perfect. It felt very secure as it is protected by a large wooden gate. The home was ideal for our getaway with a short walk to the beach and beautiful scenery. The area is very diverse with wildlife such as monkeys, iguanas and many different species of birds. The owners were great and fluent in English. You can clearly see that they were always happy to hold a conversation (they also have amazing recomendations of places to visit) and quick to fix any problems you may encounter. We recommend renting a car to explore the province and travel to all the beautiful cities and beaches (the house has on-site parking). The only downsides would be the irregular water temperature in the shower and the slightly stiff mattresses. We are very happy with our vacation and the way it turned out, would reccommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and wonderful time.

Perfect home away from home.
The Blue Lagoon Beach House was just right for our needs. It has everything that you need for daily living. Gabby and Rick, the hosts, make this a 5-star place! They go out of their way to make you feel at home, and although they never imposed on us, they were always there if you had questions or needed help with getting around. The house is just the right size for two or three people, the outdoor patio is comfortable and we spent a lot of time in the hammock. And you can drink the tap water, which is a bonus. Rick's honey is delicious! The gardens make the space feel private and calm. We stayed for a month without a car, and it is doable to not have a car, as there is a bus that runs once a day into Santa Cruz, and there is a small convenience store within a 10 minute walk. The fish truck comes by once a week and there is a fruit/veggie guy that comes by Gregorio's (a restaurant) on Mondays at around noon if you want to buy fresh produce. The beach is a 10-15 minute walk away, and it's the best beach we've ever been to! The lagoon at high tide is perfect for cooling off in. We walked along the beach to Tamarindo a few times - it takes about 2 hours and should be done at low tide - check the internet for when that is. We took a taxi back which costs $25 US. There are several restaurants here in Playa Avellanas within walking distance. All serve delicious food. Gregorios is a local bar/restaurant that makes great smoothies and Chupas, and has cheap local beer. Much cheaper than Lola's! Overall, if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful place to just chill, and you like to walk, this is the place! Thanks so much, Gabby and Rick, for making our first visit to Costa Rica so memorable!

Rustic and comfortable
We loved our stay at the Blue Lagoon. Gabriella and Richard were perfect hosts. Available, helpful, kind and so so friendly but never imposing. The area is wonderful. A surf and nature lover’s paradise. Unspoilt with a friendly community of like-minded people. The walk to the beach across the boardwalk is good fun and well worth it. The howler monkeys and giant crickets are remarkable. As for the blue lagoon, it was very comfortable and clean. It’s not fancy but has everything you need for a simple and good stay. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space and hammock, Sharkey the pet dog, the well equipped kitchen, and the comfy beds in an air conditioned room. We would return to the Blue Lagoon in a heart beat. Pura Vida!
