Costa Rica - San Miguel - Beachfront Cottages

Stay in our vacation cabin in beautiful, undiscovered Playa San Miguel. The Pacific Ocean is 100 feet away with hiking trails, horseback riding, surfing, and great restaurants only minutes away. Play or relax — it’s your choice. ----------- The Cabin This 800-square-foot cabin is just 100 feet from the beach and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The first floor has two twin beds, two trundle beds, and a small kitchenette intended for very light cooking, including an electric hotplate (no stove), a microwave and a small under-the-counter fridge. A covered porch opens to the garden, and there is an outdoor shower. The second floor has a bedroom with a queen-size bed and a bathroom. Rooms have ceiling fans and AC. There are phones. Long-distance calls may be made with a pre-paid card. There is wi-fi and two internet cafés are nearby. The caretaker lives 100 yards away. ----------- Location & Activities The beaches of San Miguel and Playa Coyote are one uninterrupted ribbon of powdery sand that stretches for about 8 miles and is blissfully crowd-free. Until just a few years ago, very few people — other than the local residents and families from the capital, San Jose — came to these beaches. By the end of the 1990s, when the 5-star resort at Punta Islita (15 kilometers north of San Miguel) opened with a small airport, visitors started noticing San Miguel. Activities include: Horse-back riding, surfing, swimming, watching wildlife in nearby estuaries, visiting the turtle conservation stations, hiking through the Jungle Butterfly Farm, and helicopter rides. Day trips one hour away include the beaches of Samara, Carrillo, and Nosara, and the town of SantaTeresa. ----------- Rates Cabin can be rented to 2 persons or 4 persons.
