Caribbean-style home — 5 min walk to the beach!
A magical and peaceful place on the Caribbean Sea of Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Casa Roble is set in a spacious tropical garden just 300 meters (5-minute walk) from the beaches of Playa Negra.
This one-story beach house has a primary bedroom with a queen size bed and another bedroom with a full size bed and twin bed. There is also a sofa bed and hammock on the front porch. The living room has two couches as well. The full bathroom is located between the two bedrooms. The fully stocked kitchen has views of the garden.
Our home is ideal for couples, families, groups up to 6 people.
Remember, you are in the Caribbean, on “Tico time” (similar to island time), and in the tropical jungle. Things may take longer to happen, plans may change, it may rain unexpectedly, and the electricity, the internet, or even the water service could run out on you at times. This is all part of your adventure, so take it as the material for a good story, and you will enjoy your stay a lot more.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay, we enjoyed using the bikes to ride to the beach or town. We especially loved Hector the friendly cat that hangs around the place.
We liked the cabin very much. Big enough for the 4 of us, clean, close to Puerto Viejo, helpful check in through the agency. We can absolutely recommend the akkomodation!

A perfect stay. Everything as advertised. Our only complaint is we like to complain and there was nothing to complain about. The property management company was exceptional, so friendly and prompt.
Hector is the most friendly cat I’ve ever met. Because we love cats, we hang out with him a lot in the house and we all really enjoyed each other’s company. If you do the same, make sure you leave some water for him, he will really appreciate it.
Our family of 4 stayed here comfortably for 4 weeks. We liked being away from the center of town yet super close to the ocean - we practically had the local Playa Negra beach to ourselves. The kitchen was well equipped, loved using the boogie boards, and appreciated the multiple house fans to supplement the AC (in one bedroom). The property manager was always quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Thanks for a wonderful month in Puerto Viejo!

Lovely house, decorated with taste, in a quiet and safe neighborhood, surronded by nature and at 5-min walking to Playa Negra and 5-min by car to Puerto Viejo center, super markets, restaurants, etc.
Drinking water is provided, with plenty of towels for shower and beach, bikes to explore the surrondings, beach chairs and all the necessary items for the kitchen.
Beds and bedding are really confortable. The A/C in the master bedroom helps perfectly refreshing with the fans available in the 2 rooms and living room. The porch is a beautiful place to spend an evening with the 2 big chairs and hammock.
We stayed 1 week, after 6 weeks in other regions of Costa Rica and we really loved the place.
Thank you for the very nice welcome gifts and for everything.
We absolutely loved the location. The house had absolutely eveeything needed for amenities. We loved the property with beautiful plants, birds and the most affectionate resident cat that we adored.
We loved having our relax time in the morning or coffee time in the morning on the porch and listening to the rain or birds. We used the bikes for a stroll through the neighborhood and the beach chairs for our beach visits in the area. We cannot say enough positives. We loved our stay. Thank you also for rhw wi e, beer and chocolate. That was so kind and unexpected. We did go tour the local Organic Cocoa Farm ( Caribbeans) and really enjoyed the tour and chocolate tasting. Our host was great with communication. We highly recommend this home
Overall, the property was great although there were a few things that we wish we had known. The directions provided were very confusing as a sloth sanctuary was referenced as a landmark and we never found it, so we drove too far and got lost! The property was nice and as represented, but the fact that there were no actual windows that closed made the fans and AC not very effective. Due to a cat allergy, I was unable to sit outside as there is a house cat that was VERY friendly and as soon as I sat down, the cat literally jumped into my lap and also snuck into the house as we were walking in! The bottle of wine, chocolate, beer and juice were lovely touches. The beds were quite comfortable. The proximity to the beach, provided towels and beach chairs made heading to the beach a breeze and the beach was gorgeous! If you are looking for a casual easy stay with proximity to the beach and town as well as close by supermarket, this is a great option.
We loved staying at Casa Roble! It was a beautiful, clean, and spacious home away from home just a 3 minute walk from Playa Negra which we sometimes had all to ourselves! Bikes are provided to ride into town, or it was a quick 5 minute drive with our rental. It’s an easy drive from the house to either Cahuita or Manzanillo too!
We were just a party of 2, but the house would fit 6 comfortably. The garden grounds are beautiful and the spacious front porch was perfect for morning coffee. The outdoor shower came in handy as well! The house was super clean and had all the amenities we needed.
The beds were cozy and both rooms had ceiling and floor fans to keep us cool at night. Falling asleep to the rain and sounds of the jungle was so peaceful.
Our hosts from RISE were quick to respond and support us with whatever we needed, thanks for making our stay so easy!
There are a ton of delicious places to eat, some of our favorites were Grow, Take It Easy (weekends only), and Pura Gula for a real treat. We also highly recommend a visit to Pure Jungle Spa while you’re there.
We can’t wait to visit again!
Ein gemütlicher und ruhiger Rückzugsort mit Strandnähe
Der Empfang war herzlich, die Unterkunft sehr sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und gemütlich. Schöner Garten und ruhige Umgebung. Lage günstig, kurzer Weg zum Strand und außerhalb des eher hektisch-chaotischen Ortes. Einziges Manko: nicht alle Lampen funktionierten, kein Leselicht und keine Waschmaschine.
Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen!
Das Ferienhäuschen ist unglaublich gut ausgestattet mit allem, was man sich wünscht von Taschenlampe, Küchenrolle, jede Menge Handtüchern bis hin zum Regenponcho ist alles da. Haben noch nie eine so gut bestückte Küche im Urlaub erlebt. Die Betten sind bequem, alles ist top sauber, überall sind Mosquitonetze an den Fenstern. Es gibt genug Ventilatoren und eine AC, um alles angenehm kühl zu halten. Wir haben uns absolut wohl gefühlt. Eine sehr nette Katze besucht einen täglich, es gibt Kolibris im Garten und die schönsten Dschungelgeräusche. Mit den Gratisfahrrädern ist es nur ein Katzensprung zum Strand. Der Ort Puerto Viejo ist wunderbar gechillt, die Strände ein Traum. Wir haben zudem noch nie eine so freundliche und jederzeit bereite Hausverwaltung erlebt. Wir wurden superfreundlich empfangen und die Kommunikation lief blitzschnell und jederzeit absolut hilfsbereit ab. 5 Sterne, 100%ige Weiterempfehlung!
La maison était vraiment bien ! Très bien décorée on s’y sentait chez soi. Faut savoir qu’il n’y a de l’air climatisé que dans la chambre des maîtres et aussi que la maison vient avec un chat ! Mais c’est de loin le meilleur service que nous avons reçu. Eau en bidon à volonté, boissons fournies à l’accueil, chaises pour la plage et vélos. C’était vraiment super ! Merci pour tout !
