Ocean front beach home, lagoon sunrise, Corcovado sunset, wildlife, kayaks, WIFI

With wide sand beaches extending for miles in either direction, Casa Playa Lapa is a privately owned beach front residence in remote Carate, Costa Rica, only two miles from the crown jewel of the national park system, Corcovado National Park. Tucked deep in a grove of lowland palms facing the Pacific Ocean and insulated from the rest of the world by jungle on either side, Playa Lapa is arguably the most remote vacation rental in all of Costa Rica, yet fully equipped for your family's comfort and convenience.

Completed in the summer of 2007, the house is constructed of tropical hardwoods, including teak interior, purple heart (nazareno) beams and accents, and cara de tigre posts. A magnificent spiral staircase of purple heart is the central architectural feature; the furniture, which has been custom built by a local craftsman, is fabricated from zebra wood. An open-design living area, 2 loft bedrooms with half a bath, fully screened windows on both levels, and extended roof encourage free flow of air throughout the structure, supplemented by a continuous offshore ocean breeze.

Playa Lapa is about one kilometer from the end of the road in Carate, the most distant point from San Jose on the national highway system. The beach stretches pristine and vast toward Salsipuedes Point in Corcovado National Park to the northwest, and Cabo Matapalo to the southeast.

The Pacific Ocean pounds relentlessly against a prime turtle nesting beach--giant olive Ridleys have been observed laying their eggs on the path from the beach to the house itself. The thundering surf creates a continuous and exciting background upon which the cacophony of parrots and shore birds is orchestrated. This is no casual swimming beach--the costal bathemetry of the Osa Peninsula creates a typically strong undertow and large waves. The magnificence of this wild surf on a vast and undeveloped beach is one of Playa Lapa's most alluring natural attractions.

A resident flock of Scarlet Macaws feeds in the almond trees at the edge of the dunes, hence the name 'Playa Lapa,' meaning 'Beach of the Scarlet Macaw.' There is a migratory path through the canopy above Playa Lapa frequented by large troops of white faced capuchins monkeys, who can be seen daily feeding in the palm trees surrounding the house. Flocks of Amazon parrots are usually observed in the early morning and again at dusk. A variety of herons and egrets are found regularly feeding in the slough on small fish and lizards, while the shy and peaceable coatimundis play at the edge of the forest, occasionally lumbering from one side of the clearing to the other just off the back deck.

Casa Playa Lapa was designed to be comfortable, convenient, and eco-friendly. However it is situated in a very remote part of Costa Rica that is well 'off the grid.' Power is supplied by a solar alternative energy system, providing limited conventional 110V 60-cycle American-ready electrical power.
There is a local cellular signal available just steps from the casa; you will need a KOLBI SIM card to access the service, which can be purchased at the airport on arrival. Installing WhatsApp is recommended.
A unique solar hot water system in the roof ensures hot water during afternoon hours, for comfortable bathing in the outdoor shower house.
High quality cookware, glassware, and flatware accommodate your family’s in house dining. Typical Spanish style security grills have been installed on all the windows and doors for your safety. An extended roof-line surrounding the living areas permit the exclusion of ocean mist and rain with additional rain curtains in the upper sleeping rooms.

A remote getaway, Playa Lapa is truly a unique destination in and of itself. Its proximity to Corcovado National Park, while enhancing its attraction, also ensures its preservation from the tourist development occurring in the beach communities all along Costa Rica's shoreline. For a memorable experience of intimacy with nature, plus personal comfort and convenience, there is really nothing quite like Casa Playa Lapa.

Fantastic locationFantastic location
The beautiful garden borders directly on the long beach. Those who love the wilderness and secluded beaches will love the house. The house is very well adapted to the unique surroundings. Bento and his wife live in the neighborhood and give you advice if you ask for it. We appreciated having someone else around. We hope to come back one day.

Feel at home in Ethereal Paradise
This is our 3rd or 4th time staying on the Playa Lapa property, and I'm more inclined to write poetry about this amazing place than a down-to-earth review. First of all, this place has everything you need. The kitchen is maybe one of the best kitchens I've ever used- very intuitive and equipped. The shower is it's own wonderland, hummingbirds and butterflies weave through the garden nearby, and the hot water during the day while the sun is shining is extremely luxurious being this far down the road. There are boogie boards and beach chairs for the beach which is just steps from the house. Rolling waves and palm breezes lull you to sleep at night. The deck is cool and comfortable with awesome rocking chairs and hammocks. You will likely see monkeys and macaws without having to leave the house. Beto and Yolanda, the caretakers, beyond being incredibly helpful and accomodating, are also awesome people. It has been a true pleasure getting to know them. I definitely reccomend taking the kayaks out on the lagoon. We saw crocodiles and unbelievable varieties of birds. One night, while stargazing on the beach, a sea turtle climbed out of the ocean right next to us to go nest. If you want the best of Costa Rica, this is it. This time my boyfriend and I stayed with another couple, and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and have our own space when we wanted to. We will never get enough of this place. Book it now!

Playa Lapa
After nearly 3 weeks of intensive birding in CR we were looking forward to relaxing at our one week rental at Playa Lapa. The casa was perfect for us and we enjoyed the early morning and late afternoon chorus of birds. We kept the feeding platform stocked with fresh fruit and were not disappointed with the activity. The location of this property to Corcovado and Shady Lane is nice. Also the turtle researchers immediately next to to casa were interesting to talk to. Our driver (Amarallis) and guide (Luis) were very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our tours to Corcovado, Careta, and a night trip. We definitely recommend these tours if you are staying at Playa Lapa. We are so happy that we didn’t rent a car. Beto (caretaker) was always a available to help and his wife Yolanda was a great cook. We loved being off the grid and had no issues with power or heated water. Helene, our host, was always available to help with questions about tours, buying groceries, and communicating with locals.

Absolutely amazing
My husband and I have been to Costa Rica 5x in 6 years. We have traveled to Monteverde, La Fortuna, Jaco, and Carate (playa lapa) We have returned to this place twice because in our eyes it has been the best experience thus far. The house is a beautiful creation with mind blowing landscapes, towering cohune palms and the sounds of the sea. Words cannot do it justice, you must see for yourself.
