There are 2 international airports in Costa Rica - San Jose SJO (Juan Santamaria in Alajuela San Jose) or Liberia.
The house is about a 6h drive from San Jose (drive to Puntarenas for about 1h30, take the ferry across to Paquera for about 1h and then drive from Paquera to Malpais for 1h20.

Otherwise from San Jose your other and quicker option is to fly from SJO to TAMBOR, the closest airport to the house. The flight is 25 minutes and then a 45 minute taxi ride to get to the house. There are 2 domestic airlines called Fly Sansa and Nature air where you can check flights schedules and pricing.
I traveled to Costa Rica in 2009 and fell in love with this country's enchanting nature, it's welcoming friendly people, and most of all I succumbed to the enticing ocean and joy of surfing it's precious waves. My heart and mind were set on creating a new life for myself... I moved here in 2009, and a couple years later I bought this property and built a beautiful home that I now rent to travelers from around the world. I hope to be able to host you one day and share this spot in paradise with you. Pura vida!
Lila purchased this villa in 2011
This property was amongst the first I visited in my search for the land to build my future home and vacation rental. Every other property paled in comparison to the epic views and amazing location.
The panoramic ocean view ranges from the point break of Mar Azul to the beaches of Playa Carmen and Banana beach. You can watch the surf from every room or deck in the house or while taking a dip in our spectacular coralina infinity pool.
We are a 3 minute drive to the beach and town center with it's restaurants, bank and supermarkets but just far enough up the hill to benefit from the peace and quiet of the pristine surrounding nature and it's enchanting sounds and sights.
Beautiful home with breathtaking views in every direction. We will definitely miss watching the sunset from the infinity pool!
Lila was a the perfect host; she had beer, fruit and snacks for us upon arrival, and was extremely helpful and prompt when we asked for recommendations. The home was perfectly located - tucked away on a hill in the jungle, but only a short ride away into town or the beach.
I would definitely rent ATVs during your stay as it is the easiest way to get around town and to the house.
We would definitely stay here again the next time we're in town!
The house location is very cool up on the hillside nestled into the jungle. The wildlife is abundant with howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, and lots of iguanas as well as an armadillo that stopped by for a quick visit. We scheduled our trip in the beginning of November right after the rainy season which worked out well weather wise for us. Lila was very helpful during our stay offering to help us with restaurant suggestions and booking any excursions we wanted. We also hired Jasmin to prepare several breakfasts and dinners during our stay which was very good and convenient. We had a great time...thank you Lila and Jasmin!
We were supposed to stay 5 days and we ended up staying 8 days. If we could have more time we would have stayed even longer. the villa is beautiful and clean. Lila is so nice and always ready for suggestions and help. best sunsets ever. so many animals coming to visit us. howler monkeys and white face monkeys. we went horseriding; surfing in santa teresa and on a boat trip. we could see whales and many turtles. we will definitely come back next year.
Excelente lugar
This house is definitely a dream. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get.
The amazing view, the amazing nature surrounding the house is just the perfect way to start each day.
We definitely will be coming back, it exceeded our expectations.
Thank you Lila, Brett and Tania!
Si buscas alejarte de la ciudad, este es el lugar perfecto. La vista expectacular y la casa hermosa. Brett es super servicial y Lila es muy atenta. La advertencia, deben llevar un carro 4x4 es 100%, fuimos en dos carros uno 4x4 y el 4x2, y casi no logran con el 4x2.
Casa Makasi is located in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa, a vibrant but laid back surf town boasting gorgeous white sand beaches stretching to infinity, amazing consistent surf, spectactular nature, wildlife and views, plenty of delicous restaurants and a wide variety of fun activities such as surfing, yoga, fishing, hiking, zip-lining, atv tours, horse-back riding etc. A truly beautiful place.
