Private Home Perfect for First Time Visitors! Safe, Peaceful & Close to Beach
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or are friends traveling together looking for a safe and fun adventure, the layout of this house having bedrooms at either end of the large open living / kitchen area is perfect! The furniture, beds & linens all selected with comfort in mind, and the ocean and jungle views are simply stunning from every room in the house! Located a mile to the beach to the front, and to the back several acres of hiking with rewarding views of the Pacific Ocean – where you’ll see plenty of monkeys! The ocean breezes are perfect for that siesta in the hammock or just lounging by the pool. Having easy access to the beach, shopping, groceries, zip line tours, fishing - the list is long for activities, all within 20 minutes of Casa Verde. We urge to you read our reviews where the guests outline their favorite activities - this is truly a unique location in that it’s so easily accessible, but you feel like you’re in your own private resort. The owners are a couple houses away so should you need anything at all, there is always someone to help with directions or questions & help with booking all your tours.

About the host
Hosted by Kelie Limehouse
I moved to Costa Rica from Charleston, South Carolina in 2002 and have loved it ever since. Our favorite activity is hiking the mountains behind us with a rescue dog named Rudy and an black Labrador named Mackie. I love to cook, and grow most of my herbs and spices. We have several fruit trees and last year started growing coffee & chocolate, so we're hoping one day to offer coffee from our own crop! I have a lot of dinner parties; there's nothing better than good conversation, good food and good wine!
I used to travel quite a bit, and mostly stayed at Marriott & Hyatt, so I wanted to offer vacation rentals with the same comfort, but with a familiar feeling of home, and some privacy you don't find in a hotel. I bought my vacation home in Maggie Valley NC in 2021 and have 2 vacation rentals in Costa Rica on my 7 acres

Why they chose this property
Unbelievable views - from the ocean, the valley & the mountains. We're on a peninsula, so very private and you see the wildlife everywhere. I feel we have the best of everything; the ocean, the mountains and the valley. When the clouds roll into the valley, it's just breathtaking. And when we have the electrical rain storms that light up the ocean - it's a light show that can be mesmerizing.
What makes this property unique
Close to everything but very private and quiet. It's nice to go out and see what's happening at the beach and in Jaco, but it's nice to get away from the crowds, cook a nice dinner and enjoy some wine on the terrace.
