Surfers, Families, Nature Lovers Villa with Fiber Optic in Avellanas 🌴🌞🌊

Beachwalk 5 is one of five Tropical 1000 square foot Villas nestled in nature in a gated small development in Avellanas. There is a SEASONAL jungle trail through the estuary to the beach during the dry months.
Year-round you can walk or drive to great restaurants, markets and Playa Avellanas nearby.
The Casita was beautifully constructed by top builders in the area using local and natural materials of teak, polished concrete and stone. The ceilings are high and the sliding French Doors open to create an outdoor living space in accompaniment with the private poolside terrace. Two identical bedrooms with custom teak furniture, pillow top Queen mattresses and nice linens and two teak desks with chairs for working.
The spacious bathroom has a rain shower and there is an additional shower in the back beside the private laundry and storage. The third bedroom has two Twin built in sleeping bunks and nice quality linens. The kitchen is well outfitted with a gas top stove, microwave, toaster oven and stainless fridge as well as blender, coffee pot, rice cooker and other kitchen accoutrements.
The open concept living/dining/kitchen is custom furnished in local teak. The glass and teak french doors open on to the landscaped private terrace. Our villa has a private teak eating area with personal barbeque and two lounge chairs that connect to the SHARED Rancho/BBQ/Bano and Pool.
The entire property of 5 Villas is beautifully landscaped with large Royal Palms and tropical plants and fruit trees to create as much privacy as possible.
Beachwalk has a 24 hour guard house on the property.
Popular destinations nearby via the beach are the popular surf break Little Hawaii, Hacienda Pinilla Golf, Tennis and Beach Club, JW Marriot and LA Parruja. We also love Barumis and Soul Shine.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Relax with a rainfall shower. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Close to a wonderful beach

Overall we really enjoyed our stay in the villa. Check in was easy, location was great, it was close to the beach and good restaurants. We loved the layout of the villas (5) of them in a circle with a shared courtyard/pool. Our kids made friends with other children staying in the other units which was nice. The villa itself needs a deep clean. It seemed as if no one had stayed there in months as everything was dusty and the dishes were very dusty/dirty. We had a couple issues with the A/C in one of the bedrooms and the sink not draining properly but communication was good and the issues were fixed promptly. The listing says that there would be bath towels and beach towels provided, but the towels were limited and no beach/pool towels were provided. We used the bath towels for the beach and for showering. The shower in the bathroom never gets very hot, which we didn’t mind too much since the temp outside was hot. Cute villa with wonderful nature and close to the beach, just needs some TLC.

Laid back and relaxed

First off, Donald was a great host and very responsive. I had difficulty finding the property but that is most likely due to being up for over 24hrs. The property was as listed. Nothing fancy but suited our needs. We loved the location as it is away from the areas with heavy tourist traps. Locals were very friendly and safe- would recommend the area/property for families with young and older children. The only complaint I have is the dogs barking in the middle of the night. One night I was up three different times to two dogs barking for 5-10 minutes. Other than that issue I’d give it a five star. The access to the beach is a 10-15 minute walk. Very easy walk and good surfing for novice/intermediate surfers. The beach had very few people given it is a busy time of year. I find the food and activities in this area cheaper than other parts I visited. More bang for your buck. If anyone needs any advice feel free to reach out.

A month away from the cold

My wife and I loved this property. We stayed for a month! The place met our expectations and having fiber internet connectivity helped so we could keep our work commitments without interruption. The pool is the perfect size and the local restaurants were reasonably priced and convenient. Access to the beach via a path next to the property made beach access very easy and private.

Relax at playa avellanas

If you like quick access to a beach that is totally laid back and no tourist hustle and bustle this is amazing. Lots of restaurants still close to Tamarindo and all the activities but quiet and no crowds. The space is wonderful and Kathy was very helpful. Malaysian the dog would come for a visit and help us not miss our dogs

Great location, great trip

We had a greta stay at Villa #5. Met all of our needs. Kathy and Dennis were more than accommodating, and super responsive when we had some minor issues. Donald was also super responsive, going out of his way to respond, when he himself was out of country. We traveled aroudn a lot while in CR, and found Playa Avellanas to be one of the best beaches. Amazing restaurants for this area, and great organic stores close by (Jalapeno Market and Surya). The road is less than ideal, but typical CR. We were visited daily by Howler monkeys, frogs, toads, birds, and the beautiful dog Nalla, who resides with the caretakers. Comfy beds, good water pressure, and great little pool to cool off in at the end of the day. The walk to the beach from here is less than 10 minutes. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay again. Staff at Barumis were amazing as well - great food!

Nice accommodations in beautiful Playa Avellanas

This property was nice to stay in. It’s quite close to the listing description. Good information on location of beach and how to get to the property. Our only feedback would be there was nobody there to meet us which upon arriving which was confusing as we didn’t know what casa was ours and how to obtain keys, this was challenging because the brochure Wi-Fi password is not correct so we had trouble trying to communicate with the host Until we found our keys in the door. Donald was very prompt at dealing with a couple requests. We had off the bat. Overall a nice experience.

Great Playa Avellanas Stay

I have been traveling to Costa Rica regularly for 30 years. This is a great stay for a family of 5 or 6, or for a group of friends. The price is right. The location and accommodations are perfectly matched. Everything needed is within walking distance or a short 15/20 minute drive. The house is fully loaded with all of the necessities to enjoy a vacation. The communication was excellent and the caretakers were friendly and knowledgeable. The icing on the cake was Nala, one of the caretakers dogs who stayed by our side, each time we took the short walk to the beach. Her adopting us as a family really made the trip for our kids. We definitely recommend The Beachwalk and will stay there again in the future.

We truly enjoyed our time in Avellanas Beach, this home was clean and comfortable. It was centrally located within walking distance of a yummy restaurant and gelato spot; and a short drive to other restaurants and beautiful beaches. The neighborhood is quite and safe. We loved the privacy of the property and pool access for quick dips in the morning and evening before and after adventures. I highly recommend!

Low key and relaxing.

The rental was in a gated cluster of 5 cottages surrounding a communal pool and cabana area. There was grounds keeper living next door with a couple of watch dogs which alerted them to anyone coming and going. It was a little difficult to find bc we were coming in at night and there wasn't a sign or anything. The people at Barumis (restaurant just before the road you turn to get there, helped us find it. The rental was about a 15 min walk to the beach down a dirt road. When we were there the road had a few spots with water to wade through. Also to get to the beach there were a few places you had to wade through the estuary but it never got deeper than thigh level. The easier and quicker way to the beach was by car which only took a few min. Parking was never a problem. There are several really good restaurants within walking distance. Avellanas is MUCH more laid back than Tamarindo. There is a place on the beach to rent surf/boogie boards. The beach is great for learning to surf. It is a beautiful beach...wide, clean, shallow a long way out with warm water. There is an awesome guided horse ride along the beach that is a 7 min drive from the rental called Guti Tours. It's a family run business. The father trains the horses and the brother (Andre) and sister help on the ride. I highly recommend it if you stay there and like to ride horses. Thank you to the hosts Cindy and Donald for a lovely stay!!

Slice of paradise

Wonderful location, wonderful groundskeeper, and wonderful vibes all make this place very relaxing. The host kindly gave us an excellent tip after we checked in to stock up at the grocery store on our way into town. You can pick up some amazing coffee at the stores on the way and the hosts have a big coffee maker. This beautiful place also has filtered drinking water so no need to buy that. There were AC units that were great to have but in June, we only turned on the AC for one night as the temps were quite pleasant. We would love to return, again!! Thank you for having us!!

Clean basic cottage, short drive to the beach

Avellanas is amazing. Great surf & very kind people. The cottage was clean and supplied the basic needs. Just for clarification purposes in the listing- The house is a short drive or 15 minute walk to the beach, where we rented boards at Lola’s (highly recommend) and surfed there every day. There is a Costa Rica style washing machine, which was interesting to operate and made me realize how fortunate I am with an American washing machine at home :) Clothes line for drying, no dryer. A/C only in the bedrooms. The given Directions to the property are very difficult to follow if your not familiar with the area and your traveling at night (this was us), but if you use google maps then should be fine. The mattresses are firm. The cottage owner was very prompt and kind when responding to our questions.
