Casa Pitahaya – Jungle Cabaña in Playa Marbella with AC Office, Swimming Pool & Skate Bowl
Centrally located between Marbella’s beach (0.5 miles / 10 min walk) and the town center (0.6 miles / 12 min walk), Casa Pitahaya is set back from the main beach road, tucked away on a small private lane surrounded by Guanacaste trees. Here you’ll enjoy both convenience and tranquility, with monkeys, tropical birds, and the sound of the ocean at night.
Casa Pitahaya is part of the Casas Guanacaste property, which includes three guest houses in total plus the owners’ home. My wife Maria, who is Costa Rican and from Marbella, our son Enzo, and I (Cedric, from France) live at the back of the 1.25-acre property and will be happy to assist you with anything you may need.
The house is a cozy cabaña offering a covered parking space on the ground floor and a comfortable studio space on the upper floor. Most of the house is built with local tropical timber from reforestation projects, including teak floors and beams and pochote walls, giving it a natural and authentic feel.
On the ground floor, in addition to the parking area, we’ve added a brand-new air-conditioned office space equipped with a desk and office chair, making Casa Pitahaya ideal for remote workers who want to stay connected while enjoying a tropical setting.
For stays of two weeks or longer, we offer a complimentary laundry service for all bed linens and towels.
Guests also enjoy access to shared garden amenities, including a skate bowl and two swimming pools: a small kids’ pool (6.5 ft x 6.5 ft, 2.5 ft deep) and a larger pool (10 ft x 20 ft, 4.5 ft deep). Each guest house has its own covered parking and garden space.
To make your stay even more special, we offer the following services at an additional cost and with prior reservation: • Taxi service and transfers (local and to LIR and SJO airports). • Turtle-watching tours during nesting season at the Ostional Wildlife Refuge. • Surf lessons for beginners and intermediate levels. • Skateboarding lessons in our private bowl, with an instructor. • Laundry service for guests’ personal clothing. All services are subject to availability. Once your booking is confirmed, we will be happy to share more details.
We live on site and will be happy to assist you in English, Spanish, or French. We look forward to welcoming you to Casa Pitahaya!

Le logement est idéalement placé à 10mn à pied d'une très jolie plage. Une petite supérette à 15mn, un ou deux restaurants.
La cabane est charmante, bien équipée, confortable et bien conçue.
Maria et Cédric sont vraiment accueillants et plein de bonnes idées ou propositions pour qui ne connait pas la région.
Les environs sont calmes et propices aussi bien aux promenades qu'aux baignades et au farniente. Et de très belles vagues pour qui aime la glisse.
Bref, nous revenons enchantés et un peu déçus de ne pouvoir rester plus.
Quel accueil exceptionnel de Maria et Cédric. Le logement est au-delà de nos attentes; c’est intime, tranquille et près d’une fabuleuse plage (10 minutes à pied). Nous avons apprécié les conseils de nos hôtes pour Playa San Juanillo, la poissonnerie 🥰 et le fabuleux restaurant Bar el Jardin
Cedric and Maria were very gracious and friendly hosts. They went out of their way to assist us in enjoying the area and told us some history of the local area as well. If you want to just disconnect and enjoy nature, I recommend this place. A quick walk to the beach and to town. Very rustic and serene

Wundervolles Häuschen, sehr schön gelegen mit sehr freundlichen Vermietern
Wir waren am Ende unserer Reise durch Costa Rica für zwei Nächte in den kleinen aber feinen Häuschen. Für zwei Personen ist es total ausreichend. Es ist alles vorhanden was man benötigt. Ein idealer Ort zum entspannen und runter kommen. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gefallen, wir können es nur weiter empfehlen.
