We are located in a tropical paradise where the mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. We have the best close-up views in the southern region. Ballena Marine National Park is only a 10 minute drive down the Coastal South Highway, with a gorgeous string of beaches along the way and two other National Parks close by.
Do not to forget your binoculars and camera! From your top floor 180´ unobstructed ocean view terrace you can see a large variety of birds and wildlife throughout the day. Watch the activity of the local fishing boats from the small anchorage at bay side and see an occasional whale or two from your vacation rental home. Several were spotted from the veranda the week after Christmas 2007 just two-hundred meters offshore. There is a primary jungle ridge behind the house that is corridor for white-faced and Holler Monkeys with best viewing results early in the morning and late afternoon.
Olas Hermosas sits on a rare spot on the oceanside of the coastal highway, built with the remarkable view as the architectural focal point, and from every part of the efficeny you'll see the beautiful bay, stunning beach and ocean views. Even when you take your shower you will be able to enjoy the view.
Get away from the crowds and stay in a private, clean and secure environment. It is not uncommon that you will find that you are the one on this secluded mile long picturesque beach just a 4 minute walk from your tropical home away from home to swim, sunbathe, stroll the beach or look for shells and sand dollars. Beach chairs for your comfort on the beach and a cooler for those cooling drinks as well as picnic treats are provided.
Relax at the end of the day and watch as the sun slowly sinks into the ocean. In addition to the regular gorgeous sunsets, you will experience the soothing sound of the rhythm of the ocean waves or, at other moments, witness dramatic scenes as huge waves encounter the rocks in a beautiful display of Nature at her best.
Olas Hermosas is furnished with full kitchen, air conditioning, hot water, sunflower seed shower head, washer and dryer, speaker system that can be used with your iPod or other music is input devices and cable TV. A king-size bed converts to two twins, and for the third or forth person there is one double futon and/or a high end air bed with pump. All you need to bring are your personal items.
