Beach House with stunning view of the Pacific

Located on a beautiful private 1.5 acre palm covered lot with 300 feet of private beachfront, it commands stunning views of the ocean both from the large patio and top floor bedroom. Only a 30 minute boat ride from the picturesque port town of Golfito, this deluxe beach house with full kitchen offers a special vacation for you and your family.

Our cabin, called the Resting Dragon, is situated in Zancudo, on the Pacific coast of the southern tip of Costa Rica.

Zancudo is a small community of 300 Costa Ricans, and a handful of "laid-back" foreigners. We all flourish on fishing, and a small tourist industry. The area was originally settled by boat builders of the long dug-outs carved from jungle trees, and by pig farmers that found plenty of feed from the bananas that would wash up onto the beach from the old banana company lands up the nearby river.

Now Playa Zancudo offers small beachfront hotels, great restaurants, jungle tours, surfing, safe swimming, and world class sportfishing and fly fishing.

This unique and undeveloped area is located far south, on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. We are about six miles by boat from Golfito, and eight miles by boat from Puerto Jimenez. Most of our guests fly into Golfito, to arrive here in a taxi boat, and others drive in rental cars. The bus is another way to arrive, or even a private taxi right to your cabin door. Many of our guests come here to relax after visiting the Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula, and we pick them up in Puerto Jimenez in our taxi boat. We can help you choose the most comfortable arrival for you trip.

All our guests love this quiet and safe beach and our beachfront accommodation, and often want to extend their visit. Our cabin is right on the beach, facing westerly, with a sunset view over the Osa Peninsula. Many come to read in the hammocks overlooking the ocean, or walk for hours along the long empty beach that stretches 12 miles from the point of the Zancudo Peninsula, south to Pavones, home of the longest left breaking wave.

Many others come for the plentiful water sports.
