The communal rancho is great for meeting up with visiting guests and sharing stories of the days events. Crystal clear waters in our pool and spa, sundeck with over stuffed pillows. Iguanas, geckos, butterflies, hummingbirds are all found within our very secured walled grounds.

My favourite past time each morning-----A fresh cup of Costa Rican coffee while walking on the meandering elevated boardwalk through the gardens, I am always amazed with the large varieties of tropical flowers. I still find new ones I've never seen before. In addition our boutique orchard has Mangos, Papaya, coconuts, bananas, limes, lemons, naranjas, guava, and of course my favourite chillies. Guests are encouraged to harvest and enjoy our fruits.

Our property is run like a resort and the care takers Francisco and Marling will ensure that your stay is unforgettable providing housekeeping, laundry, pool and ground maintenance. A perfect balance of total private resort with the opportunity to meet fellow travelers.

An oasis
Great location . It’s so peaceful at Stef Surf , it’s hard to believe you are walking distance to town and the beach . The property is beautifully landscaped and the unit we stayed in -El Delfin was clean , contemporary and tastefully decorated / furnished . The caretaker, Francisco , is a delight .

Bait and switch do not rent
Stay away! The property shown in the listing photos is not the property you are renting. Owner is knowingly using photos of a nearby home, both inside and outside photos, and pretending it is theirs. The actual unit faces the street, super noisy, no view and not poolfront like the listing photos Unit is furnished with air mattresses and metal folding chairs, not the furnishings in the photos. Property was not ready for checkin despite us arriving hours late Zero communication from the host, would not recommend
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are one of the four individual owners that have always dreamed of owning a home in the tropics. Our dream became a reality. Now we invite you to our little piece of paradise. You will not be disappointed, and every guest has commented on how much better the property is than in the photos. Our gardens are living art. The monkeys and parakeets are waiting. Come and visit. You will love it!

We are digital nomads, online entrepreneurs, and busy parents. We are also free-spirits who have traveled the world for over 25 years. We love going as a family to discover the various nature and wildlife areas of the globe. We are active outdoor adventurers, and we love to cook. So we desire homes like ours which are in beautiful natural environments with a fully-furnished kitchen and all the luxuries of home.

We are personal property owners in Costa Rica, Sweden, and Florida, USA. We take great pride in creating fantastic experiences for all of our guests.
