I am coming to CR in December and would like to find a place to rent on the carribean side of the island. I would like it to be beach front or close to the beach within a 5 minute walk or ride. Please recommend options and places. I am excited about coming as it will have retired and want to wake up to the sun, sand and blue water.
The Caribbean side is beautiful and there are a lot of nice areas on the beach. Some of the towns to consider are Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Cahuita, Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita, and Manzanillo. You might consider staying in a hostel or hotel for a few days so you can check out all the long-term rental options.
