About the host
Hosted by Anne Stawiski
One of us was born and raised in Costa Rica, the other fell in love with Costa Rica 25 years ago as a volunteer English teacher living and working in CR. We married in Costa Rica, and plan to retire in Costa Rica eventually. We decided to build our retirement home early and rent it out so others can enjoy the experience we love so much. We built the ideal home we want to live in, so we know others will love it as well.
Why they chose this property
This property has the best of everything, ocean view, jungle view, animal watching, private setting with no neighbors close by, close to town, easy access, ecological, and is in mint condition. Plus, when you rent this property, you will have the chance to meet a local Costa Rican family (our brother is our Property Manager) and experience the generosity and happy attitude that is characteristic of the Costa Rican people.
What makes this property unique
The Unicorn House is unique with both it’s extreme accessibility and amazing ocean views. The private drive is close to the main road, yet the home is removed from any noise, creating an atmosphere of a private jungle. This vacation home is also very family friendly as safety is our priority. Casa Unicornio Azul is in a safe location and the home is equipped with the latest security system that is regularly updated. Additionally, the roads leading to the property are safe and do not require precarious mountain travel. Our property manager, an Uvita local resident, is bilingual in English and Spanish, and lives nearby to be on call in the event you need anything. He is committed to your complete satisfaction.
