Ocotal Hilltop Condo: Mountain Views, 4 Pools, 3 Min to Beach, 100 Mbps WiFi

Upper-level 2BR condo in peaceful Ocotal with mountain views, 3 minutes to Playa Ocotal's calm bay and 8 minutes to Coco's dining and tours. Four pools, 100 Mbps Wi-Fi, in-unit laundry, and shaded outdoor space for quiet mornings and stargazing.

Main Description: Your Peaceful Ocotal Home Base
Tucked into the hillside above Playa Ocotal, this upper-level condo offers quick access to beach and town with the calm you need to actually rest. Wake to mountain views and birdsong, walk to one of four community pools, or drive 3 minutes to Ocotal's protected bay for swimming and snorkeling.

Unlike Coco's busier downtown, Ocotal stays quiet at night—ideal for families with early risers, remote workers needing focus, or anyone who wants proximity without the noise.

The Space
Primary Bedroom:

Queen bed + twin pullout (sleeps 3 total)
A/C + ceiling fan
Dedicated workspace with desk
Comfortable sitting nook with two armchairs for reading
Private balcony overlooking trees

Second Bedroom:

Queen bed
A/C + ceiling fan
Private screened-in porch (bug-free outdoor access)

Bathroom:

Full bathroom with shower

Living & Kitchen:

Open-concept living area with fans
Fully equipped kitchen: stove, microwave, rice cooker, slow cooker, blender, French press and traditional Costa Rican coffee maker.

Covered outdoor patio with mountain views—ideal for morning coffee or evening stargazing

Laundry: In-unit washer/dryer for longer stays


What Makes This Work
For remote workers: 100 Mbps fiber internet, dedicated desk, quiet residential location

For families: Sleeps 4, in-unit laundry, beach gear provided (chairs, towels, pool noodles), four pools nearby, plus games and toys for kids

For couples or small groups: Private and peaceful, with covered outdoor space and close beach access

Location

3 minutes to Playa Ocotal: Sheltered bay, calm water, snorkeling
8 minutes to Playas del Coco: Restaurants, groceries, dive shops, tours
35 minutes from Liberia Airport (LIR)

Ocotal is quieter and more residential than Coco. You get easy access to dining, diving, and groceries but return each evening to tree-lined streets, breeze, and stars. No bar noise.
