The space
A Golfito harbor home directly across from Banana Bay Marina-Overlooking the yachts. Convenient to everything in town. Pet friendly with a private yard. Great choice for a visitor or a perfect econo-seasonal rental (Request long term discount rates) to enjoy the real experience of "ex-pat" living in a small offbeat community that is not your typical 'tourist destination'.

This newly refurbished and traditionally styled home is a "picture of Pura Vida" on the hillside in front of the waterfront marinas. The large veranda deck is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening sunset over the yacht harbor. Large private yard and backyard patio with tropical landscape and a great outdoor sink for fish cleaning. The "Casita" is a long time seasonal client favorite - a comfortable cottage choice for both short or longer term stays. Bedroom with queen and single bed plus extra setee in the living room converts into 2 comfortable single guest beds. Fully furnished kitchen with array of appliances. Coffeemaker, toaster and good cookware and dishes. Air Conditioned bedroom, ceiling fans throughout, Cable TV and Wi-fi. Pet friendly. Maid and linen services included. Capacity 5 persons.

Where I went to school: California

Katie Duncan arrived to Costa Rica while traveling aboard the sailing vessel 'Caribbee', pleasure cruising with Captain Tim Leachman. With no previous thought to making a home abroad or settling permanently outside their home town of Santa Barbara, California, their cruise down the pacific coast was only meant to be a short escape - a season of fun on the ocean. But something magical happened during those first weeks at anchor in the port town of Golfito . The beautifully calm natural harbor, the verdant green and fantastical sounds of the surrounding jungle, the welcoming bustle of a quaint port town on shore.... It all conspired to lure them into staying longer than planned. One thing led to another and opportunities just kept presenting themselves. The chance for mortgage free property ownership, an easy infrastructure for setting up a business and realizing the dream of self employment, the lure of a more casual lifestyle among a culture of practical and economical living.... Yes, a life with this kind of adventure and joy was too tempting not to embrace! In Katie's words, "there was never a question- I loved Golfito from the moment we pulled into port. It just took a few years to really see and believe that we could make choices to stay and that we could succeed! It's an incredibly bold thing to take a new and unconventional route in life, but not nearly as difficult as one might imagine. Yes, there were challenges along the way. But looking back on it, overcoming the obstacles often made the journey even more exciting and brought more satisfaction and rewards than could have ever been anticipated." Sharing the fun, the experiences and the expertise gained over the past 24 years is Katie's vocation - . and so obviously her pleasure! Katie and a team of competent people working along with her at Land Sea Services are very well equipped with the experience and ability to guide you into your adventures, assisting you all along the journey!
