Hola! My husband, Philip, daughter, Charlotte and I, Louise, live in Toronto, Canada. We are entrepreneurs. I grew up in England just outside London. My family loved to travel and my father enjoyed driving around Europe and exploring. I was raised to be a traveller. We were nomads who roamed around many countries with no actual plan. That's where the fun starts! Now my family and I love to travel and explore the World. Philip is first generation Canadian. His parents are from Ireland. His parents, like ours didn't have a lot of money to travel so they packed up the car and the kids and drove. Raised as Nomads who enjoy a good adventure Philip and I and our daughter have picked up the family traditions and continue to enjoy roaming & exploring wherever the wind takes us.
Louise Abbott purchased this house in 2017
Why Louise Abbott chose Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
We fell in love with Puerto Viejo on our very first visit in 2007. We were searching for wild and free and off the beaten track. We wanted adventure and peace and we found it in PV. In 2007 we took our 10 year old daughter with us on our first trip to Costa Rica. I was determined to find the coolest, funkiest, out of the way spot on the beach in CR which is how we ended up in Puerto Viejo. We flew into San Jose not knowing what to expect. Got in a car at the airport and went up to Arenal for a few days to explore the volcano. From that moment on we were smitten by the gorgeous lush countryside and people. We were in awe, the hiking, adventures and animals took our breath away. From Arenal we drove directly to a White Water Rafting Adventure completely catered to our 10 year old and her safety. We had a blast and from there they took us to our little house rental in Puerto Viejo. We arrived at our tiny little cabina on the beach and were in awe of the wild beaches and jungle all around us. It was amazing and breathtaking. The next day we walked the beach into Puerto Viejo where we found a great place for breakfast. As a family we did many local tours and zip lining and explored every corner of PV on our bikes that holiday. We were in love and for the next 10 years spent all our time travelling around CR and renting houses wherever we went. We then decided a few years ago that we could build the perfect house for us taking all the good points from the other places we've rented around CR. We looked at property for years. Some was too expensive, others we wanted and would offer on were sold to other people . We didn't find the right property until 2017. Ironically we'd come full circle and purchased our land right beside the first house we'd ever rented in CR. We then proceeded to design our dream house. We find our peace walking the beach in PV. We hope you do too.
What makes this house unique
We love Casa Luna Beach House because it's right on the beach. I adore sitting on our balcony listening to the waves and jungle sounds that surround us. We also love walking for miles on the beach in the early mornings with our feet dipping in and out of the surf. It's such a peaceful practice where we can reflect and unplug. The magnetic qualities of the beach and the healing qualities of the sea combine on Playa Negra, offering, I believe a profound healing energy. We built the house with this positive energy in mind. We love the Costa Rican way of living outside so we designed our deck and balcony to enjoy the views and sounds of the jungle and sea. The living room and kitchen are open concept. Slide back our doors and the whole living space connects to the outdoor balcony which has it's own seating area and dining room table. The bedrooms have their own bathrooms and are air conditioned because, we found, that sleeping in the heat is sometimes difficult so we added a bit of North America to our design. We added our plunge pool to offer additional ways to keep out of the sun and cool off during the day. Most of the outside areas are fully shaded but we did leave a few spots for those sun worshippers to hang out in. You can walk to Puerto Viejo on the beach in 20 minutes. We love to walk in the morning into town and get breakfast at one of the many delicious places offering early morning service. If you have a car the drive is 5 minutes to town. You also have the option of grabbing the local bus or hiring a taxi or tuk tuk to take you back and forth. We love to rent bikes from Banana Azul just down the road and ride around exploring the area. We believe we've designed a superior home that offers the best of all the Costa Rican home designs in the area. It's luxurious and comfortable offering North American comforts which are often lacking in other rentals in the area. However, we haven't sacrificed the Costa Rican life style either. Enjoy!
