Caribbean beachfront home with private cabana

Happy House is one of the very few homes in Cost Rica that is truly beachfront. You won't need to cross a street or follow a trail, just a short walk down the garden path will take you to the private gate opening directly to a prestine Caribbean beach. There you will find a secluded cabana on the undisturbed Playa Grande. The property is nestled in a rainforest between a nature preserve and the warm waters of the Caribbean sea. Happy House is the perfect place to experience abundant wildlife, lush vegetation and very secluded beaches. This is where the jungle meets the sea.

The large patio living area overlooks the garden, has a direct view of the beach and is bathed in the sights and sounds of the jungle and sea. The house is elevated above the ground. The 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms are screened in and will accommodate up to 6 people comfortably. The property is a private, single family residence. No one else will be on the property during your stay.

The home was built in the vintage local "Tico" open air style to allow the fresh breezes and sounds of the jungle to flow throughout. It is intended to be a place to vacation, relax and be close to nature. If you are looking for modern and luxury and cannot tolerate exposure to nature, please do not stay here. We are constantly cleaning, repairing and maintaining the home. But it is located in a jungle and only a few steps from the sea, sometimes mother nature wins.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Grand Beach. Features include breakfast (surcharge). The vacation home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony
  • Free WiFi
  • Breakfast is offered for a fee
  • Just a 4-minute drive from Grand Beach and 8 minutes from Playa Cocles
