Map & Owner's Profile
Epic Ocean and Mountain Views! Golf, Surf, Beaches Nearby
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose San Buenaventura
We built this house with a swimming pool, hot tub, large master suite, on a lot with both ocean views and mountain views. We're from the Midwest USA and love looking at mountains as much as the ocean. The gentle breezes throughout the day are great. We have seen toucans and scarlet macaws flying by as we sit out on the patio. You never know what you'll see in Costa Rica.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We are close to a golf course that is opening in early 2011, five minutes from a new, beautiful hospital (just in case), 10 minutes from a great family beach (Playa Ventanas) and 20 minutes from a regional airport (Palmar Sur) which has daily flights to/from San Jose and Quepos. Within 20 minutes we can go eat at numerous restaurants, with different menus and pricepoints. If we forget anything, we can pick up all of our essentials at Palmar Norte where there is a good size grocery store. If you love the outdoors, nature, bird watching, hiking, beach activities or just relaxing, come visit!
The only golf course in the Southern Pacific region is opening April 2010. The golf course is immediately adjacent to the property where the house is located.
Uvita is home to Ballena National Park - a National Park that has beautiful beaches and stretches into the ocean with great snorkeling and Scuba. You can also go on a whale & dolphin watching tour
Enjoy a zip line tour through the jungle, over waterfalls and with ocean views.
A beautiful, tranquil beach. Perfect for swimming, sea kayaking and snorkeling. Two types of monkeys live in the neighboring trees which can be heard and occasionally seen. Great for families.
Palmar Sur (PMZ) has daily flights from San Jose. Two carriers offer service there (Sansa and Nature Air)
Owner's Map of San Buenaventura
We built this house in beautiful San Buenaventura, Puntarenas, Costa Rica in 2008. We love to watch the sunsets over the ocean and during the day the views of the mountains behind us are simply breathtaking. Our family uses this house throughout the year (we also own several other properties in the development) and we have made it our only "home-away-from-home". We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We just started the landscaping so our prices are little bit less than they will be in the next couple of years. We've planted over 50 plants, flowers, fruit trees, etc on the 1.5 acre lot.

We had seen the property in the marketing material (brochure, etc), but hadn't paid much attention to the details. The plan was to stay here for a couple nights after hiking and camping in Corcovado National Park; a place to take a real shower and re-introduce ourselves to civilization. Lo and behold, we enter the property, and atop the mountain in front of us is the house. Nothing else around it other than nature. We drove up to it and were greeted by the beautiful house, striking views of the mountains, pool, and jacuzzi. The inside of the house is very well equipped for confort, with a large master bedroom with a separate tub and shower, and two other rooms upstairs, each with private bathroom. The kitchen has all the basics to cook great meals (we brought groceries from one of the supermarkets in the nearby towns). One nice plus was that iPod/music docs were available, so we were able to easily play music around the house and outside. The weather was cloudy while we were there, but the temperature was perfect for swimming, and comfortably cool at night. The view was breathtaking, with clouds/fog covering the tops of nearby mountains. One thing the property did lack was WiFi, but that's not something we missed, and it's nice to be disconnected from life for a bit. Nick provided fantastic customer services, was attentive, and helped make the whole experience seamless and memorable.

My brother and I spent 12 days in Costa Rica staying in hostels, hotels, tents and more. In the first part of our trip we stayed in Corcovado National Park sleeping in tents and dealing with the elements. This park was amazing and the experience of a lifetime but the best part was knowing our next destination. The house in Buenaventura is an incredible place. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful place to stay in Costa Rica. It has all of the modern amenities you could ask for and then more. All of the information provided before staying there was accurate and more than expected. I would recommend this house to anyone going to Costa Rica. I can't wait to go back!

The house was beautiful! Views were incredible. Pool and outside very well maintained - we did clean the inside to better suite our preference. Definitely need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to maneuver the road up to the house. As far as attractions, there is something for everyone. There were 6 of us (the trip was a Christmas present to our children and their spouse) - and we chose more of the adventerous route - spending time touring the rain forest/jungle, enjoying the absolutely beautiful pristine beaches, and eating at local restaurants. We were able to see animals in their natural environment in addition to the lush, beautiful plants, trees, etc. The people of the various villages were extremely kind. The grounds keeper was extremely helpful - when we were having trouble with telephones, he offered to give us his until we could get ours working. I would highly recommend the house to anyone who prefers to be away from the hastle of motels and likes to enjoy absolute beauty.

Para semana santa estuvo unos dias en la casa de mi amigo Nick, en San Buenas, Osa. La casa es preciosa y muy comoda, estuve con mi familia y la pasamos muy bien. Me gusto mucho la tranquilidad y paz que existe en el lugar, además que la casa se encuentra al pie de la montañas, lo que la hace mas interesante. Practicamos caminatas y conocimos los campos del Golf del proyecto. En fin recomiento el lugar para cuaquier persona que la quiera pasar bien y sobre todo a un precio muy razonable.

Nous étions 7 personnes. La casa est incroyablement belle et très tranquille sur une montagne avec une vue superbe d'un côté la montagne et de l'autre la mer. Nous avons vue à tous les jours des perroquets et des toucans qui passaient au dessus de nous. La piscine et le spa étient très appréciés. La mer est à 15 minutes. Nous avons vue des baleines et dauphins avec un tours de bateau. Nous avons été accueilli par la personne responsable à l'entrée du village et la sécurité était au rendez-vous. Je conseille cette place tranquille et sécuritaire pour tous. Merci à Nick pour nous avoir répondu à plusieurs reprise à nos questions.

I had an outstanding trip in May of 2010. The house was clean, well-taken care of, and practically brand new. Great views from anywhere on the property: mountains on one side, ocean views on the other. Spectacular shadows from the mountains as the sun sets making for a relaxing way to end the day. This is a great place to get away from it all refresh and unwind. Although it is in the southern zone, recent infrastructure updates have made it easy to get to and get around. Golf and beaches are nearby, as are local restaurants and an awesome zip line tour. I had a great time and would go back in a heartbeat.

We stayed at this home for one week in July of 2010. It is such a nice place that we referred to it as The Mansion. The pool was fantastic, the view from the property was amazing, and the home was conveniently located to everything. A short drive to many beaches, grocery stores, and a nice looking hospital only about ten minutes down the highway. It was great watching the surfers, and the red sun sinking into the ocean at the end of the day. The home had nice furnishings, with the bed being very comfortable. I also enjoyed the huge windows, remote air conditioning control, and the television with so many channels. We did some Zip lining too, that was an experience I'll never forget. I was a bit concerned when we rented a car with only two wheel drive, but then I discovered we didn't need four wheel drive to get to the mansion on the hill. The kitchen was fully equipped, and there was a washer and dryer. The place had everything we needed, even a good supply of towels etc. We loved this house so much that I would like to come back again in July of 2011. Almost forgot... It was also very interesting to see monkeys and very colourful birds during this vacation, and drink the amazing beer they have in Costa Rica, called Imperial.

For our second trip to Costa Rica, we decided to rent this house and had an amazing time. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and offered the ability to stay in and relax in the pool and cook meals at home, or travel 15-30 minutes to excellent activities, dining and beaches. The views were amazing and so is the wildlife. In our week at the house we saw toucans, Scarlet Macaws as well as various other wildlife. The best part was that the house was up on the mountain side and completely private so you can enjoy your own private getaway. I would definately recommend and we will be back soon. Recommended Activities Nearby: -Osa Mountain Zipline -Citrus (restaurant in Ojochal) -Town of Uvita (excellent beaches & food)
