Location: Santa Teresa, Mal Pais Area, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, Central America (40 Minutes from Tambor Airstrip)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 2-6)
The ideal getaway for adults! The home, Casa Mango, located in lovely St. Teresa,on the Southern Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica has something for everyone.
It’s a spectacular tropical paradise with secluded white sand beaches, turquoise water, and incredible sunsets. For surfers, St. Teresa has some of the best breaks on the Pacific coast and for wildlife enthusiasts, there’s plenty to see.
Casa Mango sits on a hill at the north end of St. Teresa. This newly built 2,200 sq ft villa has amazing views of the ocean from every room! And, you get the best of all worlds: a 3 minute walk to the beach in a more quiet section of town, yet still close to great restaurants/bars.
The house has a covered outdoor dining area as well as a terrace and deck on the first floor, plus a covered terrace on the second floor complete with a wet bar! Imagine waking up and having your morning coffee (Costa Rican of course!) from any one of the terraces, while watching the capuchin monkeys pick mangos for their breakfast – have some yourself too, there’s a grove on the property!
Then later, end a great day by watching the most incredible sunset right at the house…you may never want to leave once you’ve seen the sunsets from Casa Mango!
What are people saying?
“We LOVED beautiful Casa Mango! If you like spectacular beaches, great restaurants, and wildlife in your back yard, then you'll love it too. We saw a coati, capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and funky squirrels without even leaving the house. On our morning walks, we saw an ocelot, more monkeys, lizards, and other wildlife. And if you've never HEARD howler monkeys, you're in for a treat! This part of Costa Rica is quite isolated, so you're not going to find it to be touristy at all, but the area is great for the independent traveler. If you like to surf, this is your place too. We just liked soaking up the rays on the beach, then going back to Casa Mango for some sort of drink from the blender, often involving mangos. The house is gorgeous -- a perfect blend of upscale and outdoor living. While there, we took a day trip to Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, which is maybe an hour drive away. Near Cabo Blanco we visited Montezuma, a funky little town on the water with great bars. But we mainly stayed in the St. Teresa/Mal Pais area - it's paradise! ENJOY!”
Transportation options to St. Teresa from San Jose:
1. A 30 min flight from San Jose to Tambor (via Sansa), then a 40 min taxi ride. You can also rent a car once you get to Tambor instead of hiring a taxi – Budget & Alamo have offices.
2. A 5.5 hour drive/ferry (the ferry is really fun!) either in a rental SUV or let someone else do the driving for $40/pp each way.
3. If you’re adventurous and travel light, you can go to Jaco, stay overnight and take a taxi boat from Playa Heradura to Montezuma – they drop you off on the beach – way cool, then hop in a taxi or rent a car once you get to the peninsula.
I'll help you decide - no worries!
