Paraiso de Miguel is a magnificent tropical paradise surrounded by modern convenience. This Ocean View Villa was built in 2004 and sits 500 feet above the Gulfo Dulce. The backyard offers 120-degree view of the ocean and mountains, which are accented by the lush jungle surroundings. The mountains of the Osa peninsula drape the crystal blue waters of the gulf creating a tropical collage. This is truly a place where nature meets its origin.

Kitchen is fully equipped for your convenience: Refrigerator freezer and ice maker, stove, coffee maker, blender, toaster, microwave, a full assortment of pots, pans, Tupperware and place settings for 8. Whether preparing meals in the kitchen or BBQing on the deck, you will always be entertained by the ocean view and surrounding wild life. Front patio offers Adirondack chairs and hammocks for sunset viewing and afternoon napping. Back patio also has a ceiling fan if needed. The side yard has a "rain drop" shower which is great for afternoon or evening cool downs.

Backyard has about 50 fruit trees that provide seasonal fruit. Bananas, papaya, mango, water apples, pineapple and multiple varieties of citrus fruits grow on the property. There is also a seasonal stream on the back of the property that provides a home to a variety of frogs, parrots, toucans, sloths and monkeys.

When not being entertained by the view or exotic wild life, play a game of darts, horse shoes or pitch some golf balls to my adjacent lot. You can also visit one of the many neighborhood waterfalls, one of which is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the house.

The house is also supplied with pure well water that is pulled from an underground aquifer below the property, but a water purification system has also been installed for extra comfort and safety. The house also has it's own washer and dryer.

In the early mornings and evenings, enjoy the wide variety of birds, including parrots and toucans that begin their day visiting the numerous trees surrounding the property. You can also find White face and squirrel monkeys migrating through the property at different times of the day.

Stop, look, listen and you will experience the jewel of Costa Rica.

Enjoy!

Why the Owner Chose Pavones

The area of Pavones and the Osa peninsula have been relatively untouched by development. It is a place where you can go to experience world class surfing and fishing, while being surrounded by broad variety of plants, animals, birds and marine life. It's like being in a zoo without cages. I love the rugged beauty of the area, culture and beautiful nature of the people.

The Unique Benefits at this Duplex Villa

The view of the ocean and mountains is incredible! I really enjoy being able to view a variety of wild life from the house or while wandering the property. The house is easily accessable from the main road and is in the safe and secure neighborhood of Cuervito. The property is loaded with fruit trees which make great morning, afternoon or evening snacks. The house offers the most modern conveniences of any other home rental in Pavones. You may be in the jungle, but you won't miss the modern conveniences of home

Owner's Map of Pavones

I am originally from the San Diego area of Southern California. I grew up by the beach and have always enjoyed the life stlye and ubundance of outdoor activities that ocean living provides. In 1978, just 6 months out of high school, I embarked on a 6 month surf adventure, traveling throughout most of the countries of Central America. I was immediately drawn to the people, culture and raw beauty of the land. It was an experience that changed my life and after returning to the states, I dreamed of some day returning as a full time resident. In January of 2009, I realized my dream and now live full time in the Pavones area of Costa Rica. So far, life in the tropics has been wonderful and every morning I look forward to the new experiences and adventures that are sure to come my way. Life in Pavones is "Pura Vida".

    • My husband and I visited this vacation rental on our honeymoon and it was the best choice we have ever made. This is a pristine property and was extremely well kept with every amenity one could wish for. It is minutes away from gorgeous beaches and has magnificent views of the lush jungles and beautiful wildlife in all directions which one can easily experience while lounging at the house. Michael and Beth were extremely helpful in every aspect and this was truly the best vacation we have ever taken! We are counting the days until we can go back and stay at this beautiful place!

    • Paraiso de Miguel is truly paradise. The view from the back porch of Golfo Dulce is as spectacular as any I've ever seen. Throw in Toucans, Parrots, Sloths and monkeys…you get the picture. The accommodations are equally impressive. Miguel has provided all the amenities to make you feel like your at home. Except you are in one of the most beautiful, lush, tropical and unspoiled spots on the planet. After a long day surfing one of the longest left point breaks in the world, a wave that breaks with machine like perfection, there's nothing better than sipping a few Rum and Cokes, enjoying the breeze and grilling up some fresh local fish. If you surfed too long to catch the fish yourself, there's a small fishing village just down the road that always has great fish at ridiculously low prices. There's always plenty to do in the area, but, if you just feel like chilling out, hanging out in one of the hammocks to enjoy the views is always a good idea. I've been a guest at Paraiso de Miguel twice now and plan on making it an annual stop. One day I might even take the family with me. It's definitely the Pure Life. Pura Vida!
