Fall asleep
to the waves.
A two-storey Caribbean house with a private veranda, a spiral wooden staircase, and the sound of the Caribbean coming through the shutters — all night, every night you're here.
The Beach House is one of seven hand-built houses on the Caribe Verde estate — a private 10-acre ecolodge inside the Refugio Nacional Gandoca-Manzanillo on Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast. Botanical gardens, 300m of private beachfront on Punta Uva, gated reception, EV charging, and a 5-leaf sustainable tourism certification, all shared by guests across the seven houses.
→ SEE THE WHOLE ESTATEThe wood is fallen Nispero. The walls are woven rattan.
The shutters are real — and you'll close them in the rain.
The Beach House is built entirely from fallen Nispero — the Caribbean loquat tree — sustainably dragged out of the rainforest by oxen. The wood is dense, salt-resistant, and ages to a deep honey under the sun. Edsart never cut a living tree to build any house at Caribe Verde.
A spiral wooden staircase rises to the master bedroom. The walls are woven rattan with adjustable shuttered windows — you open them by day for the breeze, close them at night to keep things close. The entire house is screened, so air moves through without bringing the rainforest with it.
The king is upstairs.
The rest of the house follows.
The quietest room in the house. Up the spiral wooden staircase — king-size bed, ceiling fan, mosquito net, full screening. This is the bedroom you came for.
The open-plan ground level holds the kitchen, dining, and living — and a queen-size bed off to one side, with its own fan and mosquito net. Useful for friends, occasionally a kid.
For families travelling with a young one, we tuck an extra twin bed into the downstairs area. Free, on request. Brings the house to five.
“You won't see the Caribbean from the veranda — mature palms protect the first fifty meters of public beachfront, so the shoreline stays empty and yours. But you'll hear the waves the whole stay.”

Stay close.
The Beach House calendar lives in Cloudbeds — the same system as the rest of Caribe Verde. Reserving here gets you the best published rate, plus a complimentary fresh-fish dinner from the boat at Manzanillo on your arrival night. We'll have it on the veranda when you get in.
