This charming Junquillal beach home is perfectly situated just 500 meters from the sand and directly across the street from one of the best hotel-restaurants in town, the Guacamaya Lodge. Enjoy a well-maintained, turnkey home that is both comfortable and secure, providing an ideal base for experiencing everything the area has to offer.

The location couldn’t be more ideal. In addition to being a short stroll from an idyllic beach, the home is just off a paved road, making it easy to reach Liberia International Airport in 1.25 hours and the bustling tourism hub of Playa Tamarindo in just 35 minutes. Other renowned beaches, such as Playa Negra and Playa Avellanas, are nearby, offering famous surf breaks every day of the week.

The home is simple yet cozy, featuring two separate living units. This thoughtful design allows for individual renters to share the space or gives you the opportunity to host family and friends with added privacy compared to a traditional layout. Constructed with solid concrete block, teak wood ceilings, tile floors, and high-quality, durable materials, this property is built to last. Its lush tropical gardens provide privacy as well as serene views from your terrace and balcony, overlooking both your garden and the surrounding jungle.

Entering through the metal gate, you’ll find ample space to comfortably park two vehicles, right in front of your plunge pool and outdoor shower. As you descend the steps, you’ll enter the covered, open-air kitchen, perfect for enjoying the outdoors while cooking. The downstairs bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and enough space to be adapted for future needs.
The second-story bedroom is accessible from a beautifully designed courtyard, which serves as an ideal gathering spot for family and friends. An open staircase leads to the upstairs suite, with stunning jungle views along the way. In the surrounding trees, you’ll often spot howler monkeys, armadillos, deer, and other wildlife. Upon reaching the balcony—a perfect place for your morning coffee with the monkeys—the upstairs bedroom offers its own en-suite bathroom and green views through every window.

Junquillal is a peaceful, rural beach community with an authentic, welcoming vibe. The beach offers something for everyone, from surfing and walking to rock fishing, tide pool exploring, boogie boarding, snorkeling, and swimming at nearby Playa Blanca. Meet the local fishermen for fresh seafood or visit the turtle conservation center to witness baby sea turtles making their incredible journey to the ocean.
The town has a grocery store and several dining options catering to various tastes. Just 35 km away, you’ll find more shopping and dining in Tamarindo and Santa Cruz, and the Liberia International Airport (LIR) is a little over an hour away.

This cottage is an excellent investment for vacation rentals and is poised to increase in value as Junquillal continues to grow as a coastal community. For those looking to live close to the beach on fee-simple, titled land with no association fees, this property is the perfect solution.
