    Beautiful bungalow and great location with easy walk to the beach, a lot of wild life around. The hosts were incredible and went above and beyond to try to find one of our lost belongings. Thank you!

    Wonderful balance between jungle and beach atmosphere. Everything still super close to go out for dinner or drinks and still far away from Tourists and crowds.Really liked the coffee station and the clean bathrooms.

    The property was amazing. Location is also great as it’s a little out of the way of the business of town. Right on the beach. Super tranquil and vibey. The property owners, Mary and Tyler were extremely helpful. I’d never been to Costa Rica before...

    I absolutely loved staying here. I wanted to be in nature away from the noise of the main town, which is exactly what this place offers. I had peace and privacy just a few steps from the ocean. It was amazing.

    The facilities were great. Each room was like a separate house, so was private and relaxing. I stayed in the studio room which had a large deck and dining area outside which we enjoyed spending time there. The other rooms were spacious and well...

    Room was great and the fact that there are only (4) bungalows made it seem private and more personal. Beautiful grounds and just a short walk through the trees to the beach. Comfortable and romantic as well! Mary & Tyler were very helpful in...

    Perfect location, the bungalows are a few steps from the beach. Easy check-in without the staff’s assistance, just read the info carefully that they send before your stay. Breakfast is awesome, always fresh and healthy. The staff is super nice,...

    The bungalows are really well designed architecturally, it’s just like that was more space. The AC was amazing as we were there during the hot and humid season. It is a two minute walk to the beach. The landscaping is beautiful!

Company info

We are originally from the US and our family has been living in Costa Rica since 2019. We're excited to host you at our wonderful beach side bungalows steps away from the Pacific Ocean!

Property info

***Please note that the driveway to the property is quite steep, and the roads around Makanas Beach Bungalows (and much of the surrounding area) are dirt roads, so we highly recommend a rental car with 4×4 drive, and not a sedan. Taxis are available too if you prefer not to rent an ATV or car.*** Makanas Beach Bungalows features beachside bungalows and a studio apartment near one of the most beautiful beaches in Santa Teresa. Our short access to the beach is ideal to have a nice swim in the natural tide pools or walk to the best surf points in the area. Enjoy sunsets, ocean sounds, and the jungle in a private place with nothing other than nature around you. Bungalows and a studio apt with AC, private baths, patio, Wi-Fi and kitchen (studio only). Pura Vida! *4x4 transportation required

Neighborhood info

We are located towards the end of Santa Teresa, with only a few restaurants within walking distance. The town itself is 12km long, and we recommend having transportation to best explore the area. Taxis are available as well, but it's generally better to either have a rental car or ATV to get around at your own pace. If you are interested in an ATV rental, please let us know and we can arrange for one to be delivered to you.
