Best for

Beach-Loving Surfers. Surf-and-yoga enthusiasts in their 30s–40s wanting a walkable, laid-back Costa Rican beach town base, working mornings and socializing evenings.

Unique features

Beach Proximity. The property sits a 2–3 minute walk from the main beach access, next to restaurants and a surf shop, so guests surf, swim and watch sunsets without transport.
Private Cabanas. Guests stay in two-story cabanas or villa-style rooms with ensuite bathrooms, an outdoor shower, kitchenette and private outdoor kitchen area shared with at most one other unit.
Jungle Pool. A pool surrounded by lush gardens and a yoga deck lets guests cool off midday and unwind in a green, resort-like setting.
Resident Cats. Two resident cats, Pita and Gino, hang around the common areas and are loved by guests, with Gino known for stealing breakfast.

Community

Community is central: weekly activities and events help members meet new people, and a community manager is on hand during stays. Guests describe easy, unforced friendships over sunset beach walks, dinners and time around the house. The communal kitchen brings everyone together, and days flow from morning surf to coworking and pool time.

Morning Surf

The beach is a 2 to 3 minute walk, with a surf shop next door. Guests surf or swim daily, catch waves between meetings, or surf in the morning and then do yoga and have breakfast. The group chat often turns up surf buddies.

Yoga

On-site yoga deck, plus studios in town. Guests enjoy beach and surf mornings followed by yoga. One guest said the yoga deck mats were old and worn and would benefit from a few nice replacements.

ATV Rental and Exploring

Santa Teresa is spread out with rough roads, so guests rent ATVs to explore the peninsula and take day trips. The playa location itself is walkable to most things, so an ATV is mainly useful for going further.

3 mentions in reviews

Nature Reserve and Nearby Towns

Day trips around the peninsula to places like Malpais, Montezuma and Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve. Guests mostly explore by rented ATV, and one group went on an outing to Isla Tortuga. Green season is praised for stunning nature.

Outsite Santa Teresa – Playa sits in the middle of Santa Teresa, a sleepy surf town on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, on the Nicoya Peninsula. The town is known for fiery sunsets, surf camps and a handful of yoga studios.

The property is right next to the beach and close to the town's restaurant strip and shops, within a lush, palm-fringed setting. Malpais, Montezuma and Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve lie within driving distance.
