Playa Avellanas: A charming Balinese style house just 5 mins from the beach.

Casa Sabura is a charming Balinese style house decorated with handcrafted furniture from Africa, Asia and Costa Rica. It is situated only 1km from Playa Avellanas, one of the best surfing beaches in Costa Rica.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house features a private pool, a wraparound deck and outdoor lounging areas in a lush jungle setting. Casa Sabura is custom built with floor to ceiling windows surrounding the house. The master bedroom features a king size bed, the second upstairs bedroom has two twin beds. Each room has a sliding door which leads to the wraparound deck. Both rooms are equipped with their own independent A/C units. The third bedroom, located on the ground floor, features a queen size bed and is adjacent to the second bathroom with a shower.
The surrounding property creates a lush, tropical ambience and connection with nature. Enjoy your morning coffee while monkeys climb from tree to tree and parrots fly overhead.
You can also make arrangements for surfing and yoga lessons, in house massages and private chefs.
Although Casa Sabura is situated in a fairly secluded environment, it is still close to several restaurants including Lola’s, one of the most famous in Costa Rica. The town of Tamarindo is only a 25 minute drive away, making it easy to stock up on supplies and spend time in a more touristy area if you wish.
Your time at Casa Sabura will be an experience to remember forever.

Pura Vida
(You will hear this expression throughout your time in Costa Rica. Simply translated it means “pure or simple life”. But here in Costa Rica, it is more than just a saying. It’s an emotion, it’s an attitude, it’s happiness and it’s a way of life.)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a patio and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a private pool.

This is the perfect getaway! The house has absolutely everything you need for a beautiful vacation. The pool is fantastic, all of the necessary amenities, dining table, couches, outdoor eating space, and great A/C! Just 3-5 minutes from the gorgeous Playa Avellana and a few restaurants. 30 minutes to Tamarindo for a fun day/night out. We had a group of 4 and it was the perfect stay! Highly recommend!

Hidden Gem

This place was beyond magical! We enjoyed every inch of the property. The AC kept us comfortable. The pool was refreshing. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable! We enjoyed all the critters, especially the frogs and bats that greeted us every morning. We will definitely be repeat guests!

This house is just wonderful! So close to the beach, shops and restaurants in the amazing little surf town of Avellanas. One thing I maybe missed from the description was that the 3rd bedroom was downstairs and you have to go outside to get to it. This worked fine for our family but may be an issue for families with small children. Overall we are very happy with our stay and we hope to be able to return again some day!
