About this property
Nature Lover's Paradise - 2 BR/1.5 Bath, Pool & Gardens on the Beach
On three acres of jungle and gardens, with 50 meters of beachfront, this open-air home, accompanying gardens, and a small pool, is perfect a couple or a family.
We are set up for 4 guests, in two double beds, in the two bedrooms. Beyond that, it is an additional $20 per day to bring in more beds and bedding. We can accommodate up to eight in the main house.
Finca Sombrero y Camisas offers an alternative to a full-service lodge.
Plus, good wifi if you need it.
Comfortable, yet simple, this beautiful beachfront home is off the beaten trail.
Wake up to howler monkeys and enjoy sunrise across the Golfo Dulce from the pristine beachfront, as you sip your morning coffee. Scarlet macaws fly overhead in pairs. Toucans swoop through the yard. As many as four types of monkeys have seen spotted on the property in one day. Spider and squirrel monkeys fly overhead from tree to tree, and howlers and white face monkeys pass through here as well. And if you are lucky, you will spot the occasional sloth.
There is something here for everyone: waterfall hikes and repelling, tree canopy tours, horseback riding, bird watching, yoga classes and surf lessons from locals. It's private and peaceful, yet walking distance to a handful of Mato Palo surf breaks.
Great for families and guests of all ages.
Curl up in a hammock, or hang at the pool, and enjoy nature all around you. And if you don't feel like cooking, there is a great restaurant within walking distance.
This is truly a jungle experience, in an open-air home, complete with insects, bats cruising through around sunset, howler monkeys at the break of dawn and birds signing, hummingbirds buzzing the flower arrangements, and animals that will come into the kitchen at night if you leave food out.
Due to the open-air nature of our home, no loud parties are allowed.
It's not for everyone, but most are thrilled to be immersed in the rawness of nature, yet in the comfort of your home. It truly is a once-in -a-lifetime experience for most of our guests. And for those world travelers, they attest that they've never been at a place with so much biodiversity, yet right on the beach.
This open-air home and accompanying gardens and pool, is set up for 4 guests, in two double beds with a mosquito net.
Additional $20 per night per person for up to eight total in the main house.
PLUS: Check out our new rental on the property that sleeps four: La Joya, right on the beach with a view of the waves and Golfo Dulce / Pacific Ocean. Great for a smaller group, or add to the amount of people in the main house to accommodate a large group.

About the host
Hosted by John Shurtz
I have been traveling in Latin America since my teens, starting in Baja California, all the way to the tip of South America. Found this special place in the early 90's, and made it my 2nd home.
Why they chose this property
Surf brought me here. But when I bought it I had already spent some time, and gotten to know the area. The wildlife, the beach, the community of Ticos and international community, and the step out of time, all are part of why I am here. And did i mention the
MONKEYS?

What makes this property unique
We are on the beach, and in the jungle. Caretaker and his family are also a BIG plus- convenient access to town and amenities, without renting a car or driving. As well as transportation, we offer a guide, cook, coordination of tours, and other services to make your vacation the best!
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
We are near the tip of the Osa Peninsula, 10+ miles south of Puerto Jimenez, on Hiway 245, a gravel road.
Puerto Jimenez is a 45 minute plane flight from San Jose, on either Nature Air or SANSA.
Taxis can take you from town to our property, or you can drive, with a rental car.
We are closed during the heavy rainy season, October.
When you cross a new bridge, about 10 miles south of town, you will see Ojo del Mar Lodge on the left, and we are the next driveway, with our sign at the entrance- Finca Sombrero y Camisas. Across the road is Escuela Carbonera. If you get to Buena Esperanza Bar you have gone a little too far.
We can also arrange to pick you up in town, and take you shopping before coming out to the property.
PLUS:
Check out our new rental on the property: La Joya, on the beach, with a view of the waves and Golfo Dulce / Pacific Ocean.
Great for a smaller group, or add to the amount of people in the main house to accommodate a large group.
