Stay at Los Antonio in Puerto Carrillo. Gecko Villa is the cozy ground-floor suite in the Jungle House, next to the local fútbol field. Walk to a bakery, café, frutería, carnicería and restaurants, then take a short walk or quick drive to Playa Carrillo. Sleeps 3 with a king bed + futon. Includes WiFi, smart TV, kitchenette with cooktop, on-site parking, outdoor shower and a relaxing 2-person spa.
Guests have their own private unit, plus access to shared outdoor spaces including on-site parking, tropical walkways, an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach, and a relaxing 2-person spa for winding down in the evenings. The property sits beside the local fútbol field near the main plaza, giving it an authentic neighborhood vibe while still being close to Playa Carrillo and walkable essentials like a bakery, café, frutería, carnicería, and restaurants.
Guests have access to Gecko Villa (Villa 2) and shared outdoor areas at Los Antonio, including parking, the outdoor shower, and the spa.
Sustainable power use: We run on a shared local grid, and coastal areas can occasionally see brief fluctuations. To help keep power stable for the community and reduce unnecessary energy use, please turn off A/C, fans, and lights whenever you leave.
Natural tropical setting: You’re staying in a lush jungle-beach environment, so you may see friendly geckos and insects. Keeping doors closed and avoiding food left out helps a lot.
Local neighborhood sounds: The property sits beside a fútbol field and town plaza, so you may hear normal community activity at times, especially on weekends.
Water and sand: Please use the outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach to keep floors and linens in great shape.
Quiet hours: Please keep noise low later in the evening so everyone can enjoy a restful stay.
You can absolutely stay here without a rental car if you’re comfortable walking and using local transport. The beach, grocery store, and several places to eat are all within walking distance. There’s also a local bus route connecting Puerto Carrillo and Sámara, plus taxis that can be arranged if needed. That said, if you want to explore multiple beaches and towns along the Nicoya Peninsula on your own schedule, a rental car gives you the most flexibility.
The apartment is professionally cleaned before your arrival, and fresh bed linens and bath towels are provided for your group. For stays of a week or more, we can help arrange an optional mid-stay cleaning and linen change for an additional fee – just ask before or during your trip. There is space to hang-dry clothes and towels, and if you’d like recommendations for local laundry services, we’re happy to share options.
