About the host
Hosted by Janet Russell
We are a family of 4 currently residing in Costa Rica and now wish to share our beautiful Santa Cruz home with our guests. I lived in Santa Cruz since 1991 and after meeting my wife in Costa Rica in 2009 I decided to spend the majority of my time down South enjoying Pura Vida!
We are pleased to be working with Surf City Rentals as our local contact in order to ensure all guests needs are met and that our home is always in impeccable condition upon your arrival.
