About this property

Ojochal Special Green Season Rate

August to November discount rate of $850/month!
Comfortable and private for two guests, Casa Bambu, sister house to Casa Rica, is located in 'Bali Rica', a gated 5 acre tropical garden of fruit trees and exotic plants. Screened patio and separate sundeck with delightful dipping pool fits all comforts for Costa Rica travelers. The scent of ylang ylang trees perfume the air and the view from your porch is of large Guanacaste trees, exotic flowers, and the jungle faced coastal mountain range. The fruit garden provides a bounty of seasonal bananas, starfruit, coconuts, mango, citrus and more.

The accommodations include an extra comfortable queen bed with a pillow top mattress. The full bathroom and kitchen, and spacious screened porch bring all the comforts of home. There is a security safe for valuables. From the screened-in porch, the mountain and garden views are beautiful with many birds and butterflies making their home, including morphos - the electric blue butterfly. There is a private outdoor jacuzzi tub on the deck for your evening star gazing enjoyment, or for a cooler dip in the afternoon.

Of special note on the premises is 'Palm Spa', which offers convenient spa treatments for your pleasure and relaxation.

The garden is ever changing with seasonal fruits and flowers at hand for your enjoyment. There are paths throughout the 5 acre estate which will lead you through exotic flowers, the zen garden, the Labyrinth, through bamboo groves to the Spa House, the meditation stream, or wherever you wander. You may hear the call of the area resident rainbow macaws, along with many other bird species.

For those desiring an occasional 'plug in', there is an open air pavilion on premises for WIFI, DVD or TV viewing. Weekly yoga classes are held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Private yoga classes can also be arranged.

Casa Bambu is located 3 minutes from the scenic and paved Costa Rican Pacific coastal highway. No 4wd vehicle is necessary to access this property. This retreat will feel remote, but is convenient to activities the area has to offer. Though we encourage guests to rent a vehicle for more freedom for exploring, the village of Ojochal has much to offer and groceries and restaurants can be accessed by foot or by the supplied mountain bikes. Also local taxi or tour bus can do front door pick-ups for your tour needs.

The village of Ojochal is ideal for lovers of gourmet cuisine with a number of the area's finest restaurants. There's also a popular French bakery nearby with delicious fresh, warm-from-the-oven breads, and a Licorea for those looking for special ingredients to cook at home.

Just 5 minutes away is one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches, Playa Ventanas, and the popular surfer's beach in Dominical, is approximately 30 minutes north. The newly built San Buenas Golf Course is 10 minutes south, and many other local attractions are close by; horseback riding, zip lines, ATV tours, off shore fishing and boating, etc.. For book lovers there is the village library within walking distance, or you can ride the two mountain bikes provided for your enjoyment as well.

For those considering a more permanent situation in Costa Rica, we will be happy to guide you to trustworthy people who can show you available properties in the area.

A perfect retreat, honeymoon hideaway, or for the solitude of one, Casa Bambu is a place which can be a comfortable home base for exploring the riches of Costa Rica, or a private hideaway to rest and revive. .

Disliked: Check-in, communication
More rustic than advertised
Too hot during dry season. Very primitive. We felt unwelcome by owners. The property was beautiful for bird watching. The books in the screen porch were well used. Too many personal trinkets to fall from high places. No place for guest items. Replace the can opener! Its hooped 😟

Comfy Cozy Cabina
We stayed in the Casa Bambu part of each day and in our new but unfurnished home part of the time. So, we did not make use of the dipping pool or explore the grounds. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay. We loved the screened in living/dining area and spent much of our time there relaxing, eating and using our lap top. We got excellent internet reception in the unit. The bedroom and bathroom were decorated with fresh flowers from the property when we arrived, which was a really welcoming touch . The bed is very comfortable and the small bathroom adequately stocked with towels. The shower never warmed up, which is not a big deal in the rather hot and humid climate. The kitchen has a gas stove and full sized fridge and all the basics needed to cook a meal. The unit is perfect for a couple looking for a romantic little hideaway.

Great Holiday
We stayed 6 nights at Casa Bambu. Sharon, our host, was very friendly and helpful in telling us good restaurants and where to see the best sunset. It was in a good location to access tours either out of Uvita or Sierpe. It was great to wake up early to the sound of birds. Sharon also offers Yoga on site. We did not take advantage of this as we had other plans most days but the studio looked wonderful. We had a wonderful vacation.

Very relaxing place
The rustic garden setting in a quiet corner of town was the perfect place to get away from a congested city-style vacation. But there was still easy access to great meals and beautiful beaches and sights. The owner was very friendly and helpful. And the dipping pool for cooling off was a life-saver in the hot weather. We had a great time!

Beautiful!
Casa Bambu is a little slice of heaven surrounded by beautiful well maintained grounds with amazing foliage and intoxicating fragrances..... such as ylang ylang! The Casa has everything you need and is beautifully detailed with a wonderful screened in porch with a super comfy chase to relax on.... Sharon the property owner gives you a welcome basket with the best ever banana bread I have ever tasted! We loved our stay & hope to return someday!

Host profile image
Originally Mac is from Texas and Sharon is from N.J.. We met on the island of Andros in the Bahamas, and fell in love 'underwater' in the blue seas. That was many years ago and we've since traveled the world.
Having lived for some years in Bali Indonesia, we were enchanted by the feel and beauty of the island, and have tried to bring a taste of that to our vacation homes for travelers to enjoy.
Our goal is to provide our traveler's vacation homes, Casa Rica, Casa Roca and Casa Bambu with a taste of the world and the heart of local love.
