Property description

Quinta Soñada (rough translation: 'Dreamy little Farm') situated on a gorgeous beach steps from the house. We are on a point of land with miles of beaches either side of us. Your upstairs bedroom is only 50 yards from the ocean, on the Golfo Dulce in the spectacular Osa Peninsula. Wonderful meals are available as are kayaks and surfboards. The house rental includes a 2 story house and private cabin next to the house with private bathroom. Our house is a comfortable beach house with an open plan to let the breezes cool the house. We offer high quality linens, towels, bug nets and provide a fully equipped kitchen with service for 10. We have an iPhone compliant whole house stereo as well as a DVD player, extensive library, games and yoga mats. The fully equipped kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, blender,ice chest for day excursions, everything you might need. The upstairs beds have reading lights and personal fans. There are 2 baths and 6-7 beds total. Our hot water shower has a great view of the ocean.

The upstairs bedroom is toddler safe and our caretakers are friendly, and great with kids.They can cook meals to your request for a fixed price $20/Dinner or you can purchase food and they will cook and clean for a set $10/person,. Maid service is included in house rental. We change sheets every 3-4 days. Meals and transportation are to be paid directly to our caretakers Jose and Elieth at the end of your stay. We require a 50% deposit to hold the house with the balance to paid on or right after your arrival. We take deposits using PayPal on our website (see our personal website shown below). Please Note: we cannot hold a reservation prior to having a PayPal deposit on our site .

We are 2 miles from the tip of Matapalo Point, and 8 miles to the airport in Puerto Jimenez.Over 8 acres of gardens surround the house.You can walk to 2 restaurants near us. Our home is rustic and tranquil offering a quieter experience away from the road unlike the Matapalo homes just up the way.

From the upstairs bedroom you have an ocean view of the Pacific and across the Golfo Dulce to the mountains of Panama. Scarlet Macaws and Toucans come most mornings to feed on our plentiful fruit trees.Our house is powered by the sun (Photovoltaic power) and cooled by offshore winds. You can use the house as a base to explore Corcovado National Park, or Drake Bay. Some folks like to fish or surf the Golfo Dulce. And some folks even take short trips to Panama. Others prefer to not ever leave the property. We are available to help arrange whatever side trips you have planned. Our caretakers can assist you while there.

The Osa Peninsula contains one of the last outposts of unspoiled coastal jungle. Corcovado Park is quite close, as are world class fishing and bird watching. We can pick you up at the airport and have available if you choose, on-site taxi, a knowledgeable guide, hearty meals,and laundry service. You may find a highlight of your trip is getting to know your wonderful Costa Rican host family. Or, if you prefer, you can relax at the house in complete solitude. Many honeymoons & weddings (5), have occurred here- ...very good for a beginning OR a renewal.

'....'The house is open, Costa Rica rustic, but clean and tidy, with exquisite materials and workmanship. It is clear a lot of labor and love have gone into making this a dream spot. We loved the elevated bed allowing for beautiful morning views of the sea and daily Scarlet Macaw visits. Your host family, Jose and Elieth are generous and warm hosts'... Loretta and Jonathon, NY.NY.

Owner info

Year Purchased: 1988

About the owner: A long search through Latin America starting in southern Mexico locales such as San Blas and Petalco in '73 and further on to Guatemala led to years of annual pilgrimages to Bali-Baja. In the late '80's I started traveling to Costa Rica and did not find my way down to the Osa until around 1990. This parcel I purchased around 1993- The greatest thing about buying this property has been getting to know local Costa Rican ways, & your hosts: the family of Jose Ramirez Cruz, Elieth Daughter Lilli and Son Joselito. Long May You Run......

Why the Owner Chose Puntarenas, Costa Rica:
This is the most beautiful part of Costa Rica. Perfect spot for family retreat, we have had 5 Honey Moons, couples & family retreats up to 10 persons- This was originally part of a larger farm Ojo Del Agua At this point the farming operation had gone rather fallow. 1st lumber was harvested before there was a road into these parts Then at one point many trees on the coastal bluff were felled to provide a good terrain for dryland rice farming which still is practiced on the way out to Carate today. Thankfully much land is now in a variety of preserves and in the process of reforestation.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
Nature's Splendor.
