4 Bedroom House in Parrita

*** All photos taken in 2024. All photos not marked excursion, are taken from the property or directly across the road at the beach.
Two level, 4 bedroom/2 bath beach house, on 1/2 acre lot with private pool
Villa Dos Gatos is fronted by a large teak balcony featuring outdoor couch + 4 person dining table - this is the signature location of the house with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. The main living area of the house is located on the upper level; at this level the ocean-view presents itself from all points in the open-concept kitchen, dining and living room areas. Vaulted ceilings, teak beams and numerous windows enhance this area with abundant light and air. The kitchen is well equipped with coffee maker, toaster, pots & pans, cutlery, dishes, glasses, blender, electric stove and fridge. For indoor dining a lunch bar separates the kitchen and living room - there are 6 bar-height, teak chairs. Behind the house is the private pool and rancho with propane bar-b-que and a separate one burner gas stove; a bar in the rancho offers an outside dining option near the pool.
The yard features a huge mango tree, almond tree, lime tree, starfruit tree, numerous palms and other tropical plants. The wildlife is abundant including iguanas, capuchin monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, butterflies, Tico squirrels, and many varied bird species. Check out our photos, which all have been taken on the property!
Beach, Ocean and Weather are the main attractions at Isla Palo Seco; they are spectacular! Isla Palo Seco is a barrier island, essentially a sand spit, that extends 8 km in length. The sand beach extends the entire length of the Island on the ocean-facing side; approximately 8 km of palm-lined, pristine beach. The ocean water is warm, surprisingly warm. Waves are constant; they are a surfer/boogie boarder's dream. At Dos Gatos we have boogie boards, water floats and kids floaties and kids sand/pool toys for our guests to use. At high or low tide the beach is breathtaking but if you want to walk the beach, low tide is best. At low tide the ocean recedes to uncover a flat, sand strip that extends for more than half of the 100 or so meters between the water and the beach grass and palms. This flat sand is firm and a pleasure to walk. The beach is never crowded with people. Except for weekends and holidays when Tico (Costa Rican) families gather at the beach, it is almost deserted. I once walked the entire length of the Island and encountered only 3 people! The estuary located on the back side of the island is extensive and it known for its fishing and sight seeing.
The weather between December 1 and June 1 (summer) is predictable; except for the occasional rainfall in the evening or night - average daytime high temp is 33 c under clear skies and average nighttime lows are 21 c. Even in the green season there is sun on most days from early morning to early afternoon when the clouds roll in with late afternoon showers - the average temps vary only slightly.
There are several very good restaurants on the beach: 'Mar Y Sol' is a restaurant/bar less than 2 minutes from the house with relaxed atmosphere, good food, great service and occasional live entertainment!

Summary: The house was perfect for what we wanted. Low Key relax time ina. pretty setting. The beach was just across the dirt/gravel road and we were pretty much the only people on the beach. Rented inexpensive surfboards from Bretts Surfboards 35 mins away for our two boys (18&19) and it was only them in the water so no one competing for waves. Kitchen was well stocked with Pots/Pans. The Super Maxi grocery had everything we needed to cook meals. The pool was well maintained and a fresh morning ritual while the monkeys came by for a (friendly not intimidating) visit. The gas grill was perfect to slow cook chicken a few times. The resident Iguanas strolled around unplussed. The Blender , The two large hammocks on the upstairs large airy porch where we ate our breakfasts (with two ceiling fans), and the outdoor shower were some of our favorite parts. Deb and Deems were great and helpful property managers and super helpful with info. The little restaurant a mile down the beach road was nice for a few dinners. As far as I could tell it was the only choice but there are some small resorts further down the gravel road that may offer menus as well. It could get warm in the upstairs kitchen/TV area at night for an hour or so when we closed up for the no see-um hour. The AC in all the bedrooms were great though and once we opened the windows and doors for the screens to let the air in, it was fine. Good thing to know: its not near a lot of touristy stuff.

Summary: The property was amazing! The house is so beautiful, everything you need for cooking is right there. I spent 1/2 of time on the balcony watching the ocean and the monkeys. And the other 1/2 in the backyard swimming in the beautiful large pool and watching the monkeys. The house gives you a very peaceful vibe. The hosts live next door, Deb and Deem are 2 awesome people. So glad we met them! I couldn’t ask for any better Vrbo it was perfect.

Summary: Such a great time with friends and family. We loved feeding the monkeys, sloth in the backyard, beach across the street, and the pool was glorious to cool off. The only issue was the shower upstairs and downstairs had no water coming out (just a trickle). Deems and Debbie came right over and fixed the upstairs, but the downstairs was still trickling. We made due by using the upstairs and even the shower in the backyard by the pool, which worked great. The wildlife, comfortable beds, and beautiful beach well made up for it. Deems and Debbie were also great hosts, answering all of our questions, and even stayed on the internet company to fix the internet when apparently squirrels thought the fiber optics were food. Thanks for a great experience!

Summary: House was clean organized, everything you need. Location was great, right across form ocean, monkeys in trees daily. Dogs baking was a little annoyance, but not terrible. I definitely would stay here again,

Summary: I thought there was some false advertising going on with the monkeys but around day 3 they came and after feeding them, they came every single day! It was unreal. The beach, the pool, the wildlife spotting right from the balcony/house- all terrific! Beds were aces- very comfortable and ice cold rooms. Wished TV was better but probably a blessing that it wasn't- forced us to do other things! Property manger very sweet and response and we also loved MarYSol down the street for eats. Perfect location for day trips to Jaco and Quepos- no need to decide- you can do both!

Summary: Our little group enjoyed our stay at Parrita - the house was comfortable, the little pool lots of fun, the beach right there to enjoy. There were lizards and sloths, lots of birds, and the most fabulous caretakers ever. Thank you Debbie for being the kindest and always available to help. Your banana bread and cinnamon rolls were delicious! A couple of great local tours: Rainmaker, first thing in the morning - magical! Mangrove boat tour by a local man named Jason - so much fun!

Summary: We loved this home and property right across the road from the beach. The stretch of beach was very quiet. It really felt like it was just ours. We got a lot of use out of the beautiful saltwater pool and convenient outdoor shower, too. We also really liked the balcony which faces the water. There was plentiful wildlife including monkeys and lizards. The home was comfortably furnished and well-appointed. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend!
