The Loft at Pura Vida | Pool and Beach!

Wake up in your private sleeping loft, step downstairs to a fully equipped kitchen, and spend your afternoon floating in a tropical pool surrounded by jungle. This charming two-story condo in the established Pura Vida community puts Ocotal Beach just a 12-minute walk away and the restaurants and nightlife of Playas del Coco only 5 minutes by car. Two bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer, AC throughout, and a covered BBQ rancho make this a true home base for your Guanacaste adventure.

There is something quietly special about a loft. The high vaulted ceilings. The iron staircase that invites you upstairs at the end of a long beach day. The balcony just outside the bedroom door where the jungle rustles and the Guanacaste hills roll off into the distance. This split-level condo at Pura Vida Apartments delivers exactly that experience, wrapped in the warmth of a welcoming 32-unit community tucked into the hillside above Playa Ocotal.

THE LAYOUT
Step inside to an open, light-filled ground floor where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together naturally. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook in: stainless fridge with ice maker, range, microwave, and full cookware. Pull up a chair at the round wood dining table and enjoy the mountain view framed in the kitchen window as the hills come alive each morning. Through the arched doorway, the living room invites you to slow down. Rattan chairs and a comfortable sofa face a flat-screen TV, while the AC and ceiling fan keep things cool even on the hottest Guanacaste afternoons. Sliding glass doors lead to a covered utility terrace with a full washer and dryer, so packing light is always an option. A full bathroom on the ground floor serves guests and day-trippers arriving back from the beach.

THE LOFT
Climb the dramatic black iron staircase and you arrive at the private sleeping loft: a generous queen bed, soaring ceilings, a second AC unit, ceiling fan, and a full armoire for unpacking properly. Sliding glass doors open onto your own private balcony overlooking the lush tropical hillside. It is the kind of place where you sleep deeply and wake up ready for whatever Costa Rica has in store. A private bathroom on the loft level means you never have to come downstairs in the night.

THE COMMUNITY
Pura Vida Apartments is a peaceful, well-kept community of 32 condos. The shared amenities reflect that pride of ownership: a beautiful kidney-shaped pool with cobalt mosaic tiles, set within mature tropical gardens full of flowering plants and shade trees. A covered rancho with a BBQ grill and outdoor dining for four is available to all residents, with open-air mountain views and a ceiling fan to keep things breezy. On-site parking is included.

THE LOCATION
Playa Ocotal is a 12-minute walk (1 km) down the hill: calm, clear water, excellent snorkeling, and the legendary Father Rooster beach bar with live music and ocean-view dining. Playas del Coco, with its full range of restaurants, supermarkets, dive shops, and nightlife, is just 5 minutes by car. Liberia International Airport is approximately 35 minutes away, making arrival easy from dozens of direct US and Canadian cities. This is Guanacaste the way it is meant to feel: unhurried, warm, and entirely yours.
