Sunset over the Pacific Ocean from Ostional Beach.

The black sand beach is strewn with white egg shells. Remnants of a recent sea turtle hatchling parade.

Sea turtles are one of the coolest marine animals ever. While in Costa Rica I had the chance to get up close and witness them nesting on the shores of Playa Ostional.

Good communication from the host and concierge. It's a beautiful space and well kept. As noted in the listing, you'll need a 4WD to get to it - but that makes it an adventure! It's also close enough to towns you can get what you need while also being secluded and very private.
