ABODO ESMERALDA Romántico, privado, enormes vistas al mar. Tarifas nocturnas asequibles.

It gives me great pleasure to read guests reviews when they say they needed more time at the emerald abode.... for me it means that they loved the privacy and the huge ocean views, the humble one bedroom house and the tropical nature that surrounds the house.. win for me and win for my guests.. if you are looking for privacy and relaxation..sitting back enjoying large ocean views and big starry night sky's, then maybe the emerald abode is a good fit for your next vacation..I look forward to hearing from you..

It is always special to me to get a great visit.. Sometimes hosting can be stressful, but when there is a good fit between the home, property and guests expectations, then magic can happen.. That is what I want for all my guests.. So please view the photos and read the description (not just the reviews), to assure the Emerald Abode is the perfect fit for your vacation.. I'm always available to answer questions, so if you are in doubt don't hesitate to reach out.. I look forward to hearing from you and/or seeing your reservation..

I am very thankful when guests love my guest house, the Emerald Abode.. it is very unique and has the biggest views in all of santa teresa..no other property can compare... but, just a quick note to correct a few points in this review.. The house is about 60 meters up the hill, so it is easy to get up and down... and that gives me million dollar ocean views (as some reviews call it), but i am not at the top of the hill.. in fact, the property is on a small knoll so we have no neighbours on either side, creating a very private experience for my guests.. Also to correct that the emerald abode's kitchen and bathroom, including the shower, are in the house, they both have access to the outside and are open air, so you get a wonderful tropical breeze and huge ocean views in all directions..(as my photos detail). And less than a minute down the hill is our public beach entrance, with perfect sandy beaches and amazing surf breaks. it's easy to spend hours in the pool watching the surfers catch waves, or just sit and enjoy the huge night sky and amazing stars.. and some parts of the year you can catch whales out in the distant sea, or at night the white water waves bring with it shinny illuminesense that seem to dance on the shore.. Many guests have enjoy the uniqueness of the Emerald Abode... if it sounds like a good fit for your next vacation I'd love to hear from you..

it's always wonderful to meet such lovely travelers that have enjoyed their stay at the Emerald Abode ... the Emerald Abode is Not for Everyone.. is not a normal north american home, so guests that love it the most are ones that are flexible and want to try something new.. so if you are looking for a vacation that will get you a totally new experience, then i welcome you to check us out... so what is so different ? as the photo's show clearly, this home is an open concept... the only closed in room in the house and equipped with A/C, is the bedroom.. all other areas are open to nature. If you are looking for an unusual experience this might be the perfect spot for you... the house is only 4 years old, and conveniently located in Santa Teresa. It sits above the busy village, so you are super close to stores, beaches and activities, yet up high enough that all you see is the ocean, and surrounding nature, with hug sky's to view the stars at night and surfers by day... away from the busy village below... Not a typical north American Home....if you are looking for a typical NA home, one with a/c in every room and small windows surrounded by even more cement to keep out nature, then the Emerald Abode is not for you.... Costa Rica is ALL about NATURE, and Santa Teresa is very much full of nature. i love sharing my little piece of paradise with travelers, looking for the unusual and lots adventure, with nature surrounding you.. Compared to Tamarindo area ? our area is a very rustic in comparison to a town like Tamarindo where concrete is everywhere, where you could be standing in the middle of any beach town in usa... Santa TEresa and Area is completely different , including dirt roads,no sidewalks ..... I mention this for the few guests that have not liked the Emerald Abode and Santa Teresa are usually those from cities that have every modern convenience at their fingertips and surrounded by shopping malls... Is the Emerald Abode the perfect fit ? 5 star Reviews like this one (and the other 95%) are from guests that are looking for adventure and the opportunity to be somewhere totally different... people that think and live 'out of the box'.. i welcome ALL inquiries of course, but i'm the type of host that wants you to be totally happy here, and so the only way i can help make a perfect fit between my home and guests is to be honest and present the house as it truly is... Unique - Open Air Design - Rustic - Incredible Views - with Nature Surrounding

i am very thankful for lovely guests and beautiful reviews.. thank you so much.. it gives me great pleasure when couples have such a special time here... exploring the village, enjoying some adventure, and taking advantage of a relaxing environment is what the Emerald Abode try's to provide...
