About this property
Casita Zen
Located in the rainforest and just 5-minute drive to the closest beach and grocery store. And, about 2 kilometers from there to the town of Puerto Viejo.
Two bikes are included with the rental so you can see the wonders of the rainforest at a slower place.
You have 2 living areas, your apartment and your screened in porch. The porch has tables, chairs, hammock and an area to do yoga.
Enjoy the sounds of being in nature and seeing all the different species of beautiful birds. There's also monkeys, sloths, butterflies, geckos and more.

Cathy & Christopher are wonderful people!! I'm glad they enjoyed their stay. I wish I was as energetic as they are. They left the apartment very tidy and we really appreciate that. Highly recommend!:-D Pura Vida!
About the host
Hosted by Angela Carter
My husband and I love the southern part of the Caribbean Coast. We enjoy going to different restaurants to sample all the delicious Caribbean flavors. Taste the Caribbean Jerk chicken, oxtail stew, Ackee & Codfish, coconut rice & beans, the list goes on.... We love the option of going to the beach or going on an adventure in the rain forest. Visit all the attractions and activities in the area. We hope you will enjoy the richness and beauty of the Southern Caribbean side of Costra Rica as much as we do.
Pura Vida!
