CoffeePlantation Villa, The Only One W Majestic Mountain AND Ocean Views & Tours
CASA LA FRONTERA DEL CIELO (The House Next To Heaven)
The Only One With Spectacular Views Of Mountains AND Pacific Ocean/Gulf of Nicoya
*** We are thrilled to share some exciting news with everyone considering a stay at our beautiful coffee-plantation villa in Atenas! We have just completed a full renovation of our pool area, including a brand new surface for both the pool and the surrounding deck, featuring an elegant non-slip finish. This upgrade is designed to enhance your experience and make your stay even more enjoyable! ***
You will believe it only when you see it! While the photos posted here provide a glimpse of the beauty, nothing compares to seeing the nearly 360 degrees of panoramas in person! This house sits standing watch at the top of a mountain, at an altitude of over 3200 feet, above the town of Atenas overlooking the great western valley that extends all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Located as it is at 'Heaven's doorstep', it has the most astonishing views found in Central America available right out of your living room, day or night. Not only can you see the Costa Rican lush (possessing all conceivable shades of green!) rainforest from most of the perimeter of the property, but can also take in the Pacific coast and ocean from your pool. Enjoy your very own private garden teeming with wildlife, vivid tropical flora and fruit trees including avocado, lemon, mango, banana, plantain, guava, coffee and other exotic delicacies. Watch and listen to the local wild birds as they sing and flit from tree to tree in the grove behind the house. (You'll be astounded at how close the little chicks get when they pay you a visit at the pool during one of Costa Rica's gentle rains.) Enjoy the soothing breezes from your hammock in the front of the house, or in the house’s unique reading room which allows you, while staying indoors, to enjoy the cross wind that comes up one side of the mountain and down the other. [National Geographic named Atenas as having the BEST climate in the world. Experience it for yourself!] And the vistas don’t quit. You can still drink them in during the unparalleled experience of your very own private 'jacuzzi with a view', or while bar-b-queuing or dining al fresco in the house’s veranda.
The house, which sleeps four to six people* (see below for details*), is itself an architectural marvel. The striking wrought iron winding staircase and railings naturally draw your eyes to the dramatic twenty-foot-high wood ceilings in the main house. The kitchen’s silver and gold-veined marble counters invite you to join your other guests to sit and share in a meal or cocktails. The open design of the reading room, with its large windows that make you feel like you are outside while still indoor, provides a road map to relaxation. Excellently appointed throughout, the house’s two bedrooms and three bathrooms are, likewise, marked by impressive attention to detail as evidenced by exquisite marble and wood finishes, and finely crafted furniture and fixtures.
**** We request that groups booking a stay at our property numbering over four individuals rent the casita in the back of the property in addition to the main house. Please note that access to the casita which you can see in some of the photos of the back of the property is NOT automatically granted to rentals of groups of four or less guests. The casita can be rented for a Flat Fee of $350.00 per booking - regardless of the length of stay. Groups numbering six or more guests are, without exceptions, required to rent the casita in addition to the main villa. ***
We suggest that our guests sample the following at least one evening during their stay with us: try the Jacuzzi while turning the outside lights off. On a cloudless night this will prove to be a truly transcendental experience. The beauty of the nighttime sky at our location on the mountaintop is striking. You will swear you can just stretch your hand and touch the ancient astronomers’ celestial sphere. (A sneak preview can be seen in one of our posted photos.) It’s one way to find out why we are named The House Next To Heaven.
A five minute drive to Atenas, but also, given its central location in the country, it is close to most of the main attractions in Costa Rica: including its volcanoes, butterfly gardens, rainforests equipped with canopy tours and zip lines waiting for you to explore them and, yes, it’s within driving distance of the famous Pacific coast beaches. Multiple tours in the area allow for boating, white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, and so much more. For those seeking culture, Escazú (a sophisticated bilingual area of fabulous restaurants, stores, exclusive boutiques, English language bookstores and movies) is also a 45-minute drive away.
Explore Casa La Frontera del Cielo's location utilizing the interactive map application. Also, once you book with us, we will provide you with a link that will allow you to to see its close vicinity to all the local popular attractions!
You may also check out the interactive map on our Facebook page. While there, view our slide show 'A Day at Casa La Frontera del Cielo'.
As an additional service to our house guests, we offer a fee-based airport pick up and drop-off to help you avoid the potential hassles involved in the transitions into and out of your time in Costa Rica (something to particularly consider when you have night-time travel plans, but a nice comfort to have in any event). We also provide car rentals and tours to all corners of the country, including the Poas and Arenal volcanoes, a 'crocodile tour' to Jaco, a tour to the La Paz Waterfall gardens, and tours custom made to our guests' requests throughout Costa Rica.

Dear Tim,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate your kind words.
We’re especially grateful that you highlighted the property’s incomparable views. As beautiful as the photos on our webpage may be, they unfortunately can never fully capture just how special the views are in person, so it means a great deal when guests share that with future visitors. 🌄
We also really appreciate your mentioning Sandra and Klaas. They are wonderful property managers, and it means so much to us that their care and hospitality helped make your stay such a positive one.
Thank you again for staying with us. We would be absolutely delighted to host you again in the future at Casa La Frontera del Cielo.
Warm regards,
The Garcia Family
We are experienced VRBO travelers for past 20 something years. This property was A in every respect— clean, comfortable, spectacular sunsets, and the property managers are the best we have encountered in all our stays. Extremely helpful with any and all questions and concerns. Don’t miss the coffee plantation tour.

The view from the house was AMAZING!! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. It was so enjoyable to soak in the hot tub or pool and listen to the sounds of nature and watch the many birds that visited us. Klaus and Sandra were the best. Very helpful and didn't steer us wrong on the excursions. The coffee plantation was very interesting and educational The waterfalls and gardens were beautiful. It was our first time to Costa Rica and was well worth the visit!

Thank you, Miguel, for sharing your beautiful home with us. Truly one of the best views in Atenas, and the outdoor space is amazing. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, and everything about the home. Additionally, Sandra and Klaas, the property managers, went above and beyond making us feel welcome and helping us navigate our first stay in Atenas. They were responsive and answered all of our questions immediately. The airport transportation, tours, and assistance with car rentals was such an added bonus.

As described, it’s a beautiful place to stay. The house is clean and looks just like the pictures. We stayed for 9 days and really enjoyed our time. One thing I would recommend is replacing the shower head in the bathroom with the king bed—the current one isn’t very good.We also lost power in about 90% of the house, and no one was able to tell us where the main breaker panel was located. We spent quite a bit of time searching before finally finding it outside on the wall by the laundry room.Overall, everything worked out and we 100% recommend this house

Additionally, we appreciate your recommendation regarding the shower head in the bathroom with the king bed. We'll take care of that right away so that our next guests can fully enjoy their experience, just as you did.

This house met every criteria we had for vacation.
It was luxurious, safe and spacious. Location was great as a homebase for all our exploring. Driving in country will be where and how you assess risks, but the home will be anxiety free.

We thoroughly enjoyed this property cleverly designed around the outdoor pool, hot tub, dining area, sitting area and fabulous view. Every room had access to the outdoors. One of the best managed properties we have visited. We took advantage of their airport pickup and delivery service and enjoyed their great recommendations for tours and eateries. Served as a relaxing "home base" while we traveled to many Costa Rican sites.

Great location to immerse yourself into the local culture and be in driving distance of anything you want to do. The house was perfect for our needs from comfortable rooms, pool, hot tub and reading area. The host was also very helpful in arranging for a massage as well as a tour of Tortuga. The view was spectacular with the clouds rolling uphill towards and over the house. You can see the pacific from the back. A perfect location, great house and saw so much from there.

Our stay at this location was very good. The property manager was very friendly and helpful, and checked in on us several times during the week. The location is incredibly beautiful. The house was clean and well stocked. We had so much fun in the pool and jacuzzi. Important to know, the only television is in the living room. The tropical bugs definitely wander in, but nothing out of the ordinary considering it is a tropical location.

Dear Dontel,
Thank you for your five star review, and thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the property, the pool, and the jacuzzi, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our management team.
Since our villa is located in the heart of the rainforest, it’s normal to encounter insects, especially outside at night. The area’s natural environment makes it quite special, but yes it makes sense to make sure our potential guests are aware that insects may be present around the property. As you say, nothing out of the ordinary for a tropical location - less so in the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest.
We’re delighted you had a good stay, and we would be happy to host you again anytime!

About the host
Hosted by MIGUEL F. GARCIA
The house’s owners, the Garcia family, originally hails from the beautiful island country of Puerto Rico. As is the custom with all islanders, they take their vacations together as an extended family. And together they have traveled all over the world searching for the perfect out-of-the-way place for the family to retire. When they arrived at the house in Atenas they knew they had found what would become the refuge from their hectic lives. While waiting for the right time to retire, the Garcias felt it would be a shame if other people did not get to enjoy their find, which lead to their decision to turn the property into a rental. They are now thrilled to share it with you; so that you too may be a able to step into Casa La Frontera del Cielo, and experience what it feels like to be at heaven’s doorstep…
Why they chose this property
Casa La Frontera del Cielo is not just a house that offers its occupants stunning views, a beautiful garden, and exceptional opportunities for observing the local Costa Rican flora and fauna. It is a five minute drive to the unique mountain town of Atenas, but also, given its central location in the country, it is close to most of the main attractions in Costa Rica: including its volcanoes, butterfly gardens, rain-forests equipped with canopy tours and zip lines waiting for you to explore them and, yes, it’s within driving distance of the famous Pacific coast beaches. Multiple tours in the area allow for boating, white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, and so much more. For those seeking culture, Escazú (a sophisticated bilingual area of fabulous restaurants, stores, exclusive boutiques, English language bookstores and movies) is a 45-minute drive away. Costa Rica's main airport and capital city of San José are also within an even shorter driving distance from our property.
What makes this property unique
Our house management team, and the services they provide to our renters, are unequaled in all of the country. As an additional service to our guests, we offer a fee-based airport pick up and drop-off to help you avoid the potential hassles involved in the transitions into and out of your time in Costa Rica. We also provide car rentals and tours to all corners of the country. The house tours are frequently custom made to our guests' requests. Our house management team receives uniformly rave reviews over their thoughtfulness and attention to our renters' needs and their level of personal care when conducting our guided tours.
