Cocles is about 3km south of Puerto Viejo, and Puerto Viejo is about 150 miles from San Jose, the roads and traffic being what it is this is a 3.5 to 4.5 hour road trip. Its a beautiful drive, and you can either rent a car in San Jose or take the bus from the Caribbean Bus station ($7) and ride down that way. We ride the bus, which is fairly comfortable, and leave our car in Cocles.

Nearest Airport: San Jose at 150 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 0.5 Miles
Car: not necessary
We are located in the Village of Cocles, which is 3 KM South of Puerto Viejo on the road to Manzanillo. This is a quiet laid-back multi-national community away from the Hustle-Bustle of Puerto Viejo, so if you want a lot of action you are a 10 minute drive from where its all happening - but you are living in the most beautifully tranquil environment. Another 10 minute walk from the house, you are on an incredible beach that stretches all the way to Manzanillo, through a series of small villages on land, or scenic coral bays along the ocean. The beach is a 10 minute walk from the house, but my favourite, where you have little coral pools great for kids is another 5 minutes on down the beach. Just up our hill, the neighbor offers horseback riding, there is also diving and snorkeling, kayaking, hiking and waterfalls are all within easy reach.

Personifying the "Pura Vida"!

Ryan from San Diego San Diego, CA
Review Submitted: June 13, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
First off, I don't usually leave feedback, but this trip warranted a plug. So just returned from my Costa Rica/Panama and while I experienced an amazing country, epic surfing, beautiful sights, great people, and unique cuisine, I do have to say the highlight of my trip was staying at the Pina Grande at Cocoa Hills in Playa Cocles. This home was absolutely stunning! Not only was it in a tranquil, safe location, the home was beautifully decorated with stellar wood and tile work troughout the house along with every amenity one needs. I was able to walk to the beach in a little over 5 min and even better was great corner store and a fantastic restaurant with wood stoves and wonderful food (la terrazza I believe) all within 5 min of walking. While I rented a car and traveling to Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo was easy, one could certainly rent a cheap bike and make it to town in less than a 20 min ride. The description and even pictures do not do "Pina Grande" justice. We were greeted by the caretaker upon arrival and provided us a tour and friendly advice. The home was super clean and provided my friends and I relaxation and a set of wonderful memories! We were able to cook several meals utilizing the full kitchen and cookware, and felt comfortable leaving our belongings while venturing across Costa. Bedrooms are screened in against bugs with great fans. I took several naps in the multiple hamocks and lounged in the comfortable furniture. The surrounding jungle grounds were gorgeous having the sounds of creatures and monkeys echoing in the background. While we did not have hot water, (I think it was just forgot to be turned on) we didn't need it as a cool (not cold) shower felt more refreshing after a humid and hot day. Not only do I whole heartedly recommend this home for a rental, I am already planning my next trip to return in a couple months! My entire experience from the beginning contact with the owner and most definitely my stay have been an absolute joy. Don't cheat yourself this amazing experience and wonderful home personifying the "Pura Vida"!

My brother, a good friend and I are planning our first trip to Costa Rica. Upon searching the vast world of internet based rentals and bungalows in Costa Rica, we stumbled upon this home rental which seemingly has everything we are looking for. The home looks very welcoming, it is in a nice location, close to the beach and surf and near Puerto Viejo, but outside the hustle and bustle. We contacted the owner as to inquire it's availability. We were immediately contacted by the owner and graciously provided us with ample information on the their home as well as the surrounding area! The owners were very accommodating, provided us a very fair rate and have made the rental process so easy using Pay Pal (as many rentals and hotels in the area charge upwards of 20% tax to use a credit card there!) They have assured us a great stay and we are looking forward to the visit. We will certainly comment after our stay!
