Cozy Caribbean Beachfront House (Pet & Kid Friendly)

Welcome to Paradise. Relax and enjoy your stay here at 'The Bounty' and enjoy its bountiful gardens and views from either the lower deck or the upper balcony.

Casa Bounty recently renovated in 2010 has a rustic design that combines perfectly with the beautiful tropical setting, the ocean view on its terrace makes it hard to leave. It is well equipped for your comfort and contains many western amenities. The balcony overlooks the Caribbean Sea, meaning there are great beaches only minutes away.
Feel free to take a walk along the serene beach or take a dip in the ocean or gather seashells at your leisure.

Located in a beautiful pristine beach on the north side of Puerto Viejo in the Playa Negra community The Bounty is just a 5-minute drive away from Puerto Viejo.

Puerto Viejo is one of the most popular vacation spots in all of Costa Rica. When you travel to Puerto Viejo, you’ll easily be able to have a fun and exciting vacation, particularly if you enjoy spending time in the water. The southern Caribbean coast is considered to be one of the best surfing spots in Costa Rica, and the tide pools that form during low tide are great for a quick and refreshing dip.

A groundskeeper lives in a small cabin on the premises and helps keep everything manicured and working properly. The owners live in the other side of the duplex from November to May, and with their typical Canadian hospitality, make guests feel welcome. Not to mention we are Pet and Kid Friendly!!

Susana the property manager is also available for any questions or help when needed!

-Casa Bounty property features:

-A two-floor house with 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom that sleeps up to 5 (2 king-sized bed and one space on the sofa or a blowup mattress).
-The main room features a spacious terrace with ocean views.
-A fully equipped kitchen, a private patio, and an outdoor gazebo with a hammock and chill out space. 

Daily Housekeeping available on request for an extra fee of $25

An excellent feature is an in-house washer and dryer that allows you to do your own laundry any time you need to.

-The place:

Playa Negra is a black sand beach. This happens when fragments of lava and other volcanic and magnetic minerals were broken down over centuries by the ocean which makes it a very unique place.
Puerto Viejo Town has great restaurants for every taste and lots of music venues, a variety of shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc. The magic of this place is a combination of enchanting beaches, crystal waters, a wide variety of wildlife, and a great diversity of cultures.

Love puerto viejo and neighboring beaches. The property has an amazing, verdant yard. The beach is right across the small road and you can hear it and see it at all times. Such a delight! Extra thankful for the ability to bring the dog. I came with a tica friend (her dog, her favorite beach area). Both of us would rent this place again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
This crew would gather late afternoons to play. Loved seeing that

The house looks and feels like a tree house. It was stocked with everything we needed. The host was top notch. The waves crashing at night across the street are a wonderful treat to fall asleep to. Using the tuk tuks to get into town for dinner and live music was easy to use.I will absolutely recommend this property.We couldn't have asked for a better vacation.

FRANKESTEIN BEACH HOUSE.I booked this place after being deceived by all the 5 star reviews (“probably bribed”) all the pictures are probably photoshop to look nice.This house WAS VERY CREEPY; was probably built in the 1940’s & is pretty runned down & neglected today, it has ugly green nets instead of windows to hear all the noise from animals & traffic! (no A/C) NO hammock (as it’s shown on the pics) NOT EVEN ELECTRICITY when we got there! Everything is old, dirty, neglected & disgusting, moldy smell of rotten wood. There were spiders & spiderwebs under the beds! Washer & dryer in the middle of the living room that don’t even work! A cat owned by the guardian next door scratching the windows crying for attention. There were ants & other bugs getting inside through the wood gaps all over. (I suspected there may be even mice hiding there) We couldn’t stay there, my kids got scared & so did I. I wasted one day of my vacations being SCAMMED & trying to find another place to stay, while we were all starving from a long bus ride : The host only refunded a % of the total amount & kept “the cleaning fee” which I had to file a complaint with the app to get fully refunded & still waiting for it).By far the most terrible experience we had in C.R. “No stars” was not an option, but this place shouldn’t even be advertised anywhere anymore! TOTALLY NEGLECTED.The owner has NO consideration nor compassion for travelers whatsoever. It should be removed from this app for god sake!

Very pleased with the Bounty

Stayed in the house for 26 days. If things would have worked out the way I wanted we would still be there now...through the end of March 2025.There were 2 other people at the property - the property owner and a groundskeeper. The owner has quite a few interesting stories to tell. The groundskeeper was very helpful for getting a tuk tuk connection, arranging water bottle deliveries, identifying edible plants growing on the property, etc.We rented bikes which were great for a quick ride to the SK market or into town. Other beaches such as Cocles, Punta Uva and Manzanillo are also within reasonable cycling distances.The house does not have air conditioning. But my routine was when I started to get hot, the ocean was so close I would jump in the water for a bit and sit on a log in the shade to cool off. Or I would take a short bike on the dirt road by Banana Azul for some more secluded beach spots.The washing machine was a new experience for me. It is more interactive than what I am accustomed to but not a burden by any stretch.Our host Susana was responsive and helpful. We used WhatsApp which aided in communication.The upstairs balcony provided a nice private spot from which I saw a sloth traverse the wires across the street several times during our stay. Also saw a monkey quickly pass on the same wires a couple times.I feel the house enhanced my enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to visiting PV again and can hopefully book this house again.

Rustic Caribbean Getaway

This home is very rustic. No TV, No AC, manual Washer. The bathroom is updated and the bedrooms were nice, both with king beds, one upstairs, one downstairs. That said, the location was just north of town, an easy 1 mile walk. We did not have a bad meal the entire month we were there. The beach across the street is a lovely black sand beach, although the water was a bit rough in January. We had a really nice trip and Susana was responsive with answers to questions and items that were needed in the house.

Best property host ever!!

Our stay was more than we hoped for because Susanna was the most kind and lovely person. She was very helpful to us choosing things to do and took time to get to know us to be able to suggest activities. Wish we would have stayed longer at this location of our travels. The walk to town was pleasurable. We loved having a deck and upstairs balcony off the bedroom. The only suggestion we would make is updating the microwave and toaster oven.

Needs lots of attention

Susana, the property manager, met us for check in and was flexible with our schedule due to a traffic accident shutting down the road. The property photos had obviously been taken years before. Things on the outside were beautiful, but the inside of the home had missing and broken tiles in the kitchen, no potable water (Susana said she would not drink it) and the water container in the photo as well as the microwave, no longer exist. The washer and dryer are in the living room so the only real gathering space is off the upstairs bedroom, (including going up steep, uneven stairs). The stove gas only worked half the time we were there and the oven never worked. There is a toaster oven but cooking for 4 in it was challenging. We asked for a drinking pitcher and Susana said she would bring the next day but we never got it. We were left only 4 towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, and 1 roll of papertowels for 4 adults for 7 days. When we asked Susana about anything, it was a big deal. She either became defensive or just ignored us. Who didn't ignore us was the property owner who shares the property and does not wear pants. That's right, every day he is waiting on the porch in his boxer shorts and at one point, we had only the screen door closed, I walked out of the bathroom after a shower in a towel headed to the bedroom to get dressed. He lets himself in and just stands there talking about bananas and ogling. After that, none of us stayed at the property alone.

Location!

It’s pretty hard to beat the location, a minute walk to the black sand beach right in front, which was never crowded. When we were there swimming wasn’t possible, but playing in the surf was really fun. It’s just a short bike ride to town, about a mile. The yard is full of flowers and offered us many cool wildlife sightings. Nearby there is a fun 2 mile hike or bike to a bird filled river that empties into the sea. The listing photos should be updated as they do not reflect the current condition of the house. The house is in need of maintenance. The kitchen was a challenge, and needs several upgrades. The paved street between the house and the beach is very noisy, but the road noise lessens at night. However, dogs bark and roosters crow then. We would highly recommend Cahuita National Park, Punta Uva, the Jaguar Rescue Center, the chocolate tour at Caribeans, and the Puerto Viejo Bike shop for rentals, and Degustibus Bakery.

GREAT SEASIDE RETREAT!

We loved our stay! Check in was simple. The house was furnished with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for two couples. It was nice having the washer and dryer available for laundry. We used the clothes line outside to dry our clothes so save electricity and everything dried fast with the breeze. The house was perfectly located across the road from the beach and just a few minute drive from town. There were plenty of cafes and places to eat near by as well as a grocery store. We nearly had the beach to ourselves each morning and evening. The porch was nice to sit on in the mornings and evening with a cup of coffee and enjoying the breeze. David the caretaker lives next door and will see to any needs that may arise. He is an amazing chef and though he wasn't available to cook for us on our short stay, we enjoyed sharing a few recipes together. The sunrise on the beach is an amazing site, make sure you take advantage of it! It was a pleasure to meet Susana, she has a sweet spirit and stopped by just to check and make sure we settled in and to answer any questions for us. Check out was simple too. We look forward to staying again the next time we are in Costa Rica!!

Loved the House- a few suggestions

The house is beautiful and amazing. Right across the street from the ocean was such a treat! The groundskeeper David cut us fresh coconut every day! We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the ocean. While the kitchen had the basics there weren't any coffee filters nor salt or pepper to season our food. Also the place did not provide filtered water and only provided 3 rolls of toilet paper for a week for three women! Otherwise we loved the house! I would recommend staying here.

Ups and Downs

Ups: Rustic with lots of room plus a washer/dryer and hot water. Susana is your contact and is very nice and has a ton of information on Costa Rica including guides. The groundskeeper was very friendly and also helpful with answering our questions. Black sand beach right across the road. We saw a lot of wildlife while there as well. Cons: Very busy road with traffic 24/7 and neighbors behind the house were up late fighting and several neighborhood dogs barking through most of the night. We ended up changing our stay and left the next day to find a more secluded location on the other end of town.

The place was comfortable and had two patios to sit. My problem with this place was the traffic on the road next to the house. Also the road was not paved and the dust blew onto the patios. The caretaker did come and clean when asked. The traffic did die down at night. The house is across from the beach and an easy walk from the town. I would stay again.

Lovely place, pity about the surroundings

Lovely , spacious house, set in a beautiful garden near the beach. Very good contact with the agent, the friendly owner/neighbor and local caretaker. Unfortunately the nearby beach is unswimmable, due to very strong currents and enormous waves. And between the beach and the property there is a VERY busy dirt road, where a constant traffic of trucks and cars creates a lot of noise, dust and dirt. If you want to swim, you'll need to take a taxi or ride a bike to Punta Uva, about 8km away.

Enjoy the beach!

Book now! You only need to walk across the road to enjoy one of the most beautiful coastlines in Costa Rica. You are about 10 minutes outside of town but a taxi or bike ride will get you there with no issues. David, the property caretaker, is awesome & friendly and made our stay extra great. You are on the road so there is some dust to beware of if you have sensitive allergies. Overall, I highly recommend this unique stay. Roomy and comfortable. Nice breeze from the ocean on hot days. Beautiful gardens. It has it all!
