Room for everyone, and a table you all fit around
Six bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, sleeping up to 28 — on Playa Avellanas, 30 minutes south of Tamarindo.
Why a house beats a block of hotel rooms
Big trips go wrong in the gaps — the hour spent deciding where to eat, the cousins on a different floor, the grandparents who wanted to go back early.
Johnny's is built so the group stays together without being on top of each other. Six separate rooms, each with its own bathroom, arranged around a pool and a covered dining pavilion. People drift in and out of the middle all day.
Breakfast is cooked and on the table before anyone has to make a decision.

Families who came

“Johnny's Beach Bungalow is a hidden gem. We traveled all 16 of us, from age 3 to 75, for our renewal of vows, and we were blown away as Karla and her family hosted our event so beautifully. What made our stay memorable: the location — walking distance to tide pools and one of the best surfing spots; the people — Karla, Alberto, Luis, Emmanuel and the whole family accommodated our every request and went above and beyond cooking and serving the best Costa Rican meals, cleaning our rooms and driving us safely around town. The pool and yoga platform kept everyone active and relaxed at the same time, and they even hosted a chess tournament and a bonfire for us at the beach.”

“They have the hosting details dialed in perfectly to make sure we had the easiest vacation for our group of 16. There was enough room and privacy for the adults, and the big room for the kids was a dream. The pool and outdoor dining space were so great, and the yoga studio and gym were so nice to have. The use of the vans, plus airport pickup and drop-off, was really amazing. It was so close to walk to the beach, which made it easy for people to go back and forth. Restaurants, a few coffee shops and a really cool little market are super close — it felt like everything we needed was right there. The staff are amazing. The meals were delicious and they were awesome at helping us get excursions planned.”
