Beautiful Oceanfront Villa in Playa Zancudo

Casa Mango, Beautiful Oceanfront Villa

Welcome to our private villa on Playa Zancudo

This special property and area has something for everyone.

While listening to the howler monkeys or parrots in the morning or being lulled to sleep by the sound of the crashing waves, you’ll truly appreciate everything this property has to offer.

Endless walks await you on the six mile long black sand beach just steps away, or if your preference is fishing we have access to boats or a world class fishing lodge just down the beach.

If it is surfing, you can surf right in front of the villa or the world famous breaks at Pavones and Pilon are a short drive. If surfing is not for you, just relax in the pool or go Boogie boarding, stand-up paddle boarding, Zip lining, snorkeling, kayaking, Bird watching or horseback riding , it’s all available here or nearby!

Picture yourself sitting on one of the the spacious patio’s, in the pool or under the palapa as you gaze over the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Tropical birds, monkeys, butterflies and flocks of pelicans gliding over the waves and the occasional pairs of Scarlet Macaws will entertain you as you enjoy your morning coffee or sunset cocktail.

Great local restaurants are close by or cook your own gourmet meal in the full kitchen.
Make a fire at the beach and watch the stars after dinner.

You can do everything or nothing at all.
This will be a vacation you will never want to end.

Please review www.visitzancudo.com for additional info regarding restaurants and activities and other places to stay or things to do in the area.

Please be aware, Playa Zancudo is located in a remote area of South West Costa Rica, it is roughly a seven hour drive from San Jose or a 45 minute flight on Sansa Airlines or another domestic airline to the town of Golfito.

Rental cars are available in Golfito and the drive to Zancudo from there is @ 45 minutes.

Pura Vida!!

Second Visit
This was our 2nd visit to Casa Mango and once again, lived up to all our expectations . Special thanks to the lovely family (Maria, Alex, Kendall Snaider) who took wonderful care of the property, the pool, was always available should the need arise and, most importantly, for their friendship. We highly recommend Casa Mango in Zancudo. .

Great place in Zancudo.
Nice place with a great pool and excellent beach access. Alex the caretaker is great and speaks pretty good English. I’m working on my Spanish so it was good practice for me. It was very hot when we were there, even the locals said it was extra hot. A/C would have been nice but we learned to live without it. All in all a great place and would recommend it.

Casa Mango
This is a beautiful property right on the bay with an excellent pool. You can walk the beach for miles in both directions and hardly see a soul. The kitchen is well supplied which helps when staying long term (we stayed a month). Alex, the property manager, is always available and obviously takes pride in his work. I would give the place a full 5 stars if it had AC- at least in the bedrooms.

Zancudo excellent place to visit for real experience
Property was great right on beach w fresh pool. Would highly recommend. Zancudo was perfect for us remote but w plenty of hidden bars and restaurants but the combination of few people, many monkeys, sloth and fish maybe cannot be beat

Beach paradise
Cool casa, perfect pool and beautiful beach only saw 5 other people for the 5 days. Alex the care taker was fantastic! The beds were pretty dated and bathroom faucets need some help and no AC. Those are the only cons. Only four floor fans are provided, should be two more for kitchen and top floor office, we just moved them around. Plenty of towels and extra Lenin's great little washing machine. Perfectly stocked kitchen, even has a wireless speaker! Make sure you stock up on groceries in Rio Claro, the only super market after that is in Pavones and it's not as stocked and a good 40min drive. The refrigerator is good size. I hope I can stay there again it was pure vida. Thanks Steven and Alex, God Bless Beware of the potholes on the road after the first big bridge crossing and don't let Google maps make you turn at the rodeo arena just stay on the main road.

Location was beautiful
Steps to a secluded beach. Please note there is no a/c. It is not needed as long as you have a fan to move the air. The one and only thing for me was the mattresses. Hard Hard Hard If this is what you are used to, perfect. I had to steal the cushions from the couch to be able to sleep comfortably. Communication was fast and easy and we so enjoyed our stay. Please note this is a remote location.

The Perfect Place
I’m not sure where to start, Casa Mango is perfect. The check in was easy, the beds comfy, and the pool a great oasis. The short walk to the beach out the back door made boogie boarding and sunset watching a dream come true. The house is rocked with a full kitchen and towels and bedding to spare. The house had things you don’t think of till you realize how great they are, it has a Bluetooth sandbar for mellow tunes at the pool, or cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The kitchen has a garbage with a tight lid to minimize fruit flies and garbage bugs. The rooms all have numerous plug ins. The balcony is amazing for relaxing on and drinking a coffee to get your day going. Before you go, stop in a big town and stock up, the supermarkets in town, although they have everything you need are on the pricey side, and getting there is a long (1.5-2hr) bumpy road, not just a quick trip to a city to grab more stuff. We visited a few restaurants, Pana at the very end of the spit does a great whole fried fish dinner. A few doors down from the first supermarket in town on the right is a small sign for Lali, stop in in the morning and tell her you want to come back for dinner, she has a good menu and will make you a great meal. Sol y Mar, made a good lunch and reasonable prices. I’d say avoid El Coquito restaurant, this was probably the worst meal I’ve had in a long time, they made hard tacos, with squeezy cheese on them, and the smoothies were tasteless and everything was way overpriced. All in all playa Zancudo was an amazing place and Casa Mango was well worth the visit. Find out when Emilo comes and put out the sign to get fruit deliveries on Monday and Friday mornings.

Casa Mango a sweet slice of paradise
Everything was great—plenty of room for the three of us, close to good surf, perfect for viewing as well as hearing the ocean, and communication with pool guy—very respectful—and Cuidadores was good. The only downside were the stinging ants that flooded the kitchen. We were all stung and it was unpleasant. We alerted one of the cuidadors the day we checked out and he was going to take care of it.
