Dishwasher-Private Pool-AC-Walk to Beach!
Just a few short minutes—that's all it takes to stroll from the welcoming front porch of Palma Verde, a charming oasis with its own private saltwater pool, to the breathtaking expanse of Playa Negra beach. This comfortable, remodeled two-bedroom, two-bathroom pool retreat, nestled within a full lush garden in a quaint enclave just off the main road in the vibrant beach community of Playa Negra Heights, offers comfort, space, and convenience for up to six guests.
Enjoy the tropical breeze inside and out as you settle into the airy living space, with towering ceilings adorned with locally handcrafted lights and ceiling fans. Enjoy cooking in this fully equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster oven and cooktop to make delicious meals at home. A high speed blender for making smoothies with the abundance of available local fruits is available as is a keurig for delicious coffee at home. The in-home laundry room comes equipped with a washer and dryer for your convenience.
Retreat to the spacious comfort of the master bedroom, where a sumptuous king bed and ensuite bath await, complete with a large refreshing shower and private patio overlooking lush gardens. The second bedroom offers a queen bed and ample space to unwind. The Air conditioned bedrooms and ceiling fans offer options to drift off to sleep in comfort with cold air or cool breezes if opening the screened windows and turning on the large ceiling fans. Two additional guests may sleep on the long sofa, and twin inflatable and extra bedding is provided.
Stay seamlessly connected with loved ones back home or work commitments with Fiber internet, then surrender to the laid-back pace of life as you wile away lazy afternoons by the sparkling private pool or reading in the spacious living room. While outdoors, the oversized porch beckons with a dining table, lounge chairs, and a serene hammock swaying beneath the canopy. Listen and watch many tropical birds flying through the gardens and keep an eye out for the local sloth "Macoco" and her baby. Screened windows invite in the fragrant breezes of the garden flowers and plants of the caribbean. Gated off street parking is also available for guests.
A leisurely 15-20 minute stroll along the sun-drenched shores of Playa Negra beach leads you to the heart of town, where a treasure trove of culinary delights, boutique shops, and thrilling adventures await. Be sure to peruse our "Favorite's Guide" for insider tips on the best local restaurants for breakfast and dinner. Embark on a picturesque walk to the esteemed Banana Azul Beach Club, where you can indulge in gourmet delights, pamper yourself at the onsite salon, or simply soak up the tropical ambiance. And whether you choose to wander barefoot in the warm Caribbean waters or opt for a breezy bike ride or tuk-tuk taxi, the journey is as enchanting as the destination.

Beautiful property! Great location away from the noise but close to town. Pool was awesome and house was clean and comfortable. Very secure location and we would definitely stay here again.
Very nice house very close to Playa Negra and adjacent restaurants and town; the accommodations were great and very comfortable; we cooked and were able to use some fresh herbs from their herb garden, incredible stay!
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was such a beautiful house and had everything we could possibly want and need. Minutes from the beach and a short walk or drive from town. Simple and fast check in/check out process and our host was very accommodating. We will definitely be back!
This was our second time in this lovely house and we will be back. Great A/C in the bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, really nice salt water pool and an extremely responsive management company to answer all your questions and take care of any concerns or issues that may come up.
We spent 1 month at this property and it became our home. We worked and had our vacation here and were able to easily enjoy the surroundings were easy to access by car AND by bike! We turned in our rental car for bikes for 2 weeks, and it was great! This property is cared for, clean, centrally located and the property managers were very responsive and extremely helpful! I highly recommend this property!

The house was adequate for the 4 of us, but was a little hard to get the living room area cool. The overall accommodation was ok, location was good, there was a lot of construction going on near the house, which was a bit noisy, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

We loved staying at this rental. Was 3000 colones in taxi or walking distance when you feel like walking on the beach until Puerto Viejo main space. All equipped , love the pool not to big just perfect , super design and we even saw a sloth passing on the cable in front of house ! Grateful for everything. Pura vida
We had an amazing four day stay at Palma Verde. The house has everything you could need, and was impeccably cleaned when we arrived. The kitchen has everything you will need and it was great to be able to do our own laundry. There are quite a few hotels and rentals around but it very private and quiet. Our kids were in the pool all day, while we relaxed in the hammocks or sat on the porch. Even though it’s in a newer development area, the garden is beautiful with tons of butterflies and hummingbirds buzzing around. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk to a little market with a decent selection. It’s a much longer walk to get into town though so keep that in mind. We had rented a car so it was very easy. We were so sad to leave! It was a truly wonderful vacation spot.

Our stay at Palma Verde was exceptional- one of the best vacation rentals we've every stayed at. The online photos don't do the house and property justice- the lush gardens that frame the yard were beautiful- every morning we were greeted by hummingbirds, birds, bees, and the sounds of the jungle. The house itself is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need, we lacked for nothing! The design and layout are fabulous- great airflow for keeping things cool (fans everywhere were lovely), screens to deter bugs while keeping the common space open to the outdoors, and with AC in the bedrooms we slept sooo comfortably. Although there were days we didn't even leave the property, the location is very convenient- a 5 min walk to the beach, walkable along the beach to Puerto Viejo if you don't want to drive, and good for exploring the surrounding area. Pool is great and night time "party lights" were super fun! Communication from Property Managers was prompt and helpful and the guest book was full of great information and suggestions. We recommend Sol de Caribe for dining out and Playa Punta Uva for beach days. This was a perfect rental for families- our 8 year old daughter was in heaven. We LOVED our stay at Palma Verde! Muchas Gracias- Palma Verde = Pura Vida!

This is our second time staying at this property. The location is great and the property is beautiful. We really love this place and will always stay here when we are in Puerto Viejo. We highly recommend this property!
Everything was perfect. Beautiful property and the swimming pool was great. The people are very responsive to any questions or requests. We had a great time. I highly recommend the place and we plan to stay again the next time we are in Puerto Viejo
If you choose to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. Beds & pillows are comfortable. Privacy & luxury all wrapped up in your wonderful house. The pool is an exceptional bonus. Hard to leave. Would definitely recommend to others.

Rise management was excellent, 5 star, highly recommend. Great location, can walk to Playa Negra, beautiful beach, but neighborhood was noisy early am and late pm. Great house and property layout, but patio and interior have outdateted furnishings. Cookware and appliances were quality. Taking shower experienced loud grinding-growling noise which was a bit unnerving, should add that detail to guest notebook. Washer got imbalanced with small loads. Description of salt water pool is not accurate. Required closing of screens and doors is a bit cumbersome. Maintence schedule for pool and gardening need to be added to guest book with advisement not to leave personal items on patio. Overall enjoyed our stay.

This might be one of the best places we have ever stayed! It is in a great location within walking distance of town and the beach. It was clean and comfortable but most importantly, it was equipped with many amenities that the average vacationer could want. The cookware was sufficient, knives were sharp and there was a small assortment of cooking ingredients. I alway appreciate a rental property that keeps its guests comfort as key and this place certainly does! (So much so that we even bought, and left, wine glasses!) And Fabian, the property manager, was very friendly and so helpful in giving suggestions and answering questions! We will definitely book here again when we return!
Nous étions une famille de deux adultes et deux enfants de 7 ans. Nous avons séjourné 16 jours.
Nous avons apprécié la location. La communication avec le staff était très bonne : entretien de la piscine et les quelques problèmes résolus dans un délai de quelques heures maximum… c’était essentiellement un petit problème de court-circuit lié à une pluie tropicale. A noter, nous avons eu deux ménages compris durant notre séjour.
La location est plutôt au calme, les équipements fonctionnent parfaitement, la piscine est au soleil donc chauffe rapidement après une pluie.
L’emplacement est bien pour profiter de la côte caribéenne et des parcs nationaux.
Il y a un chantier qui se commence en face mais nous avons eu de la chance ce dernier ne nous a pas dérangé.
Nos enfants ont également apprécié la maison avec piscine. De plus, la piscine était à leurs dimensions : petite piscine ( comme la grande majorité des maisons individuelles au Costa Rica ) mais très appréciable !
