The space
Welcome to Cabañas Glo! 
Hosted by @PuraVerdeVidaCR

Are you looking for an authentic Costa Rica experience? Wildlife with your morning coffee?

Secluded in the jungle, yet steps away from the beach and just minutes from town? Are you looking for a place to stay that is remote and amidst wildlife while not being trapped into having to rent an expensive vehicle or needing a four-wheel-drive? 

Cabañas Glo is the perfect home base for all visitors: singles, couples, families, budget travelers, and digital nomads too! 

The property is on a private 1 acre rainforest oasis in the tight-knit, hidden jungle neighborhood of Playa Hermosa, located in the south Pacific zone, the Gateway to the Osa Peninsula.

It is just a 10 minute walk (or a 3 minute drive) to Playa Hermosa, one of the most beautiful surfing beaches in Costa Rica: open to the public, popular with Ticos and visitors alike, and home to the famous Envision festival.  

Our cabins are easy to access by car, bus or taxi. With a bus stop right at the bottom of the hill, the property is friendly to visitors without cars. And with locked gates and fences, the property offers protected parking for those who do bring a vehicle. 4WD (Four-wheel drive) is not needed to access the property!

Playa Hermosa is just 15 minutes' drive south of the popular hippie surf town of Dominical, and five minutes' drive north of Uvita - home to all the conveniences you need (supermarket, pharmacies, banks, cafes, restaurants and more), and also home to some of the best whale watching on Earth at the famous Marino Ballena National Park.

The beach at Playa Hermosa is ideal for all travelers, with lifeguards on duty. Unlike the beach in Marino Balllena, Playa Hermosa is free and open to the public. There is plenty of parking there with food trucks serving things like ceviche, snacks and beers. Never crowded, but always happening. 

The property features two rental cabins, a caretaker house, hammocks, and a foot trail to a secluded creek with cooling pools. Fiber optic Wifi and antennas mean the whole property gets reliable high speed internet access. (Well most of the time.  We are in the jungle!) 

Traveling with a bigger family or a group of friends? Rent a cabin, or rent both and have the property to yourselves!

Wildlife:

A lot of people come to Costa Rica for the wildlife only to discover that it’s not always easy to spot animals. that’s what made us fall in love with this place and why we’re excited to share it with you. We want you to know that the pictures you see here of animals were taken recently on the land.


Casita verde:

This cabin feels like a tree house because it is perched on stilts on the edge of the jungle - eye level with tall trees.  It is a two bedroom house with a private bath and balcony jungle viewing. The first bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom has a double bed. There is a Roku TV ready to go for chill time. There is a full kitchen and access to laundry area which has a washer and gas dryer.

This Casita has a fully equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms have their own air conditioning. A washing machine is on the property available for you to wash your clothes.

You may get lucky enough to see a sloth hanging around if you spend time on the porch.
