The space
Kitchen
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials for making morning coffee, to preparing family meals including an oven & stove. Some of the items we keep stocked for use include a blender, toaster, coffee pot (coffee provided during your stay), pots and pans, wine and drinking glasses, mixing bowls, dish towels and sharp knives. We start our guests off with a 5 gallon bottle of refreshing drinking water. Should you need more during your stay, any area grocery store will provide refills for a fee. For essentials, you can find a local market just 15 minutes away. Lastly, we provide a bowl of the area’s most fresh fruit upon your arrival.
Dining
The home comes with a dining table that seats up to 6, as well as a smaller, more quaint table for two in front of the picture window with a view.
Bathrooms
We have 2 full baths in each of our homes. Enjoy the use of the complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body/hand soap, towels and hair dryer.
Bedrooms
Master: queen with attached master bathroom
Bedroom 2: queen
Bedroom 3: 2 twin beds
Entertainment
The home comes with two TVs. One in the living room and smaller one in the master. You'll have access to local TV and cable channels. We also offer high speed wireless internet. Should you need to get some work done during your visit, the large dining table is a great place to spread out.
Outdoors
Enjoy our warm Costa Rica weather and witness superior ocean sunsets from your private covered front porch. The back porch is also covered with views of the refreshing pool, just steps away from the casita. For a breathtaking view of the ocean, wander over to your private palapa which provides rocking chairs to rock your thoughts of everyday life away.
* The palapa at this home is very large and can accommodate group yoga or set up for dinners at an additional cost. It would be great for retreats or family gatherings.
Pool
Our shared swimming pool is a great place to relax and cool off! Keep in mind the pool is shared with the guests in the other two houses. We offer pool loungers and additional seating, with a portion of our swimming pool covered when you need a break from the sun rays.
Laundry
Our caretaker will be happy to launder your items, should you need it during your stay, for $5 per load.
Wildlife
It is not uncommon to see various kinds of wildlife around our property. Depending on their mood, monkeys and sloths can make an appearance, which is always a huge hit! If the timing is right, you could even witness our sea turtles hatch at the Playa Nido Turtle Sanctuary, just in front of the property!
