Montaña Paraíso - Costa Ballena Paradise

VRBO shows our location as Uvita. We are actually just south of Ojochal.

.Located Southern zone of Costa Rica or as it's often called Costa Ballena (Whale Coast) our property is truly one of a kind. It’s located in the secondary rain forest in the mountains with an ocean view. The area of Costa Ballena has a thriving tourist economy but is not overrun with tourists. The beaches are not crowded and there are no mega hotels to be found. Two cantilevered houses connected by a floating deck and pool on 15 acres of lush mountain jungle ,this is our slice of paradise.

Casita

La Casita was the first structure built on Montaña Paraíso and with a Balinese-esque style became the inspiration for the entire property. We wanted to bring the immense beauty of the mountains and jungle into the house but without modern floor to ceiling windows . We strategically placed windows in key areas and aligned them perfectly with each other to bring in natural light and views from every angle. Natural elements also make up most of the interior of La Casita. From the bamboo ceilings, to the Columbian stone walls, to the hand laid beach stone in the shower, to hand made Columbian stone sinks, to hand crafted furniture made with local teak wood, the Casita is filled with nature. The main area consists of a king sized bed and a very well built twin sleeper sofa to comfortably sleep 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. A full closet and dresser cabinet allow you to unpack your bags and “move in” for your stay. We highly recommend this! If you truly want the “jungle experience” we have custom made sliding screen systems. Guests can turn off the air conditioning, open the large glass deck doors and slide the screen systems into place. The separation between the inside and the outside disappears seamlessly. It’s truly an experience you will never forget.Two or three guests can dine indoors on the island or four people can dine outside. The kitchen features a 2 burner glass electric cooktop, microwave oven, toaster, sink, refrigerator/freezer, cookware, utensils, silverware etc. The bathroom boasts his and her sinks, stylish Kohler Sail toilet and a huge shower with Grohe fixtures including a rain head for your own indoor rain shower. Moving to the outdoor living space you have high velocity ceiling fans that keep the deck very comfortable all year round. Our favorite addition is the New England style cotton hammock where you can relax reading a book or catch up on nap time. There’s a dining table with four chairs and a sun lounger for your use, all custom built locally with teak wood. Outside decks are also teak and are joined together so you can walk from the Casita to the pool and the Casa barefoot. Not so exciting features include 2 air condition units, tankless hot water heaters, Lutron lighting control, flat screen tv with connected AppleTv, wifi internet service, large capacity washing machine and more. We have 24/7 armed security, video surveillance and maintenance. We hope you will enjoy what we have so thoughtfully designed and built here with La Casita even a fraction of what we do. We think you will !

Casa

La Casa pulls its inspiration from La Casita. We wanted the same feel but with just more space and modern conveniences . An open floor plan displays incredible views from every angle, letting us create a space that uses our natural surroundings as the decor. Bright green hues from the jungle fill the west side, stunning blues and greens permeate the north views from the mountains and blues, greens and natural wood hues fill the eastern views. We have very little artwork in La Casa because nature provides the art for us! Natural elements also make up most of the interior of La Casa. From the bamboo ceilings, to the Columbian stone walls and counter tops, to the hand laid beach stone in the shower, to hand made Columbian stone sink, to hand crafted furniture made with local teak wood, the Casa is filled with nature. The main area consists of a king sized bed and a very well built twin sleeper sofa and 2 queen sleeper sofas to comfortably sleep 7 adults or 4 adults and 3 children. A full closet and built in drawers in the bed allow you to unpack your bags and “move in” for your stay. We highly recommend this! If you truly want the “jungle experience” we have custom made sliding screen systems. Guests can turn off the air conditioning, slide the glass deck doors open and slide the screen systems into place. The separation between the inside and the outside disappears seamlessly. It’s truly an experience you will never forget.Three guests can dine indoors on the island, six guests can eat at the dining room table and up to six guests can dine outside on the deck table. The kitchen features a 4 burner gas cooktop, convection oven, microwave oven, toaster, deep Italian sink with restaurant style faucet, refrigerator/freezer, cookware, utensils, silverware etc. The bathroom has a hand crafted Columbian stone sink, and a huge open to the jungle shower with Grohe fixtures including a rain head for your own indoor rain shower. Moving to the outdoor living space you have high velocity ceiling fans that keep the deck very comfortable all year round. Two Adirondack chairs face the setting western sun and ocean. There’s a large dining table with six chairs and a sun lounger for your use, all custom built locally with teak wood. Outside decks are also teak and are joined together so you can walk from the Casa to the pool and the Casita barefoot. Booking includes the use of the tanning ledge,pool and rancho area. Not so exciting features include 3 air condition units, tankless hot water heaters, Lutron lighting control, flat screen tv with connected AppleTv, wifi internet service, large capacity washing machine and clothes dryer, outside shower and more. . We have 24/7 armed security, video surveillance and maintenance. We hope you will enjoy what we have built to bring the natural surroundings into this home and can experience it with your family just as we do.
* Please note that although the Casa can sleep up to 7 people we recommend just 2-4 guests. The living area and sleeping area are one in the same as seen in the photos so there is no privacy between the bed and the sleeper sofas. Also there is only one bath sink and one toilet.

WHAT MAKES OUR PROPERTY DIFFERENT !
-We are not in a neighborhood or dense development, we are located on a 350 acre property with 15 acres to ourselves
-We are not near a highway, you will not hear braking 18 wheelers all night as with many places available for stays in our area
- This is not just a guest house or portion of someones property, you will have the entire place to yourselves, completely seclusion
-We have propane powered generator system so you will never be without electricity
-We have new air conditioning units in all spaces, sounds like no big deal but most other places have no air conditioning at all or only have it in bedrooms
-We have reliable fast internet, this being said it's not as fast as the US and it does occasionally go down but for the jungle it's outstanding. Please remember not to rely on our internet for business purposes, this is a vacation stay
- 24/7 video surveillance system and armed security on property for peace of mind

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our Guest Host Adolfo at the property entrance. He will show you the in and outs of the both houses as well as the rest of the property. Adolfo can also book excursions for you.

Comments from recent guests:

“Spent five nights at the Beauregard’s hideaway home in the Costa Rican jungle with views of the ocean, jungle (of course) and loads of wildlife, including birds, monkeys and various reptiles. The house is an open floor plan with floor to ceiling windows on three sides, a decent kitchen, laundry facilities, indoor/outdoor showers and a fabulous deck for sundowners and dinner al fresco. Oh, and the infinity edged pool though small has great views and provides a welcome cool down after a day of touring the towns and beaches nearby. Great place!”

“ This place truly is heaven on Earth! From the very first sunset, we were totally captivated and in awe of the respect to nature this place and its amenities provided. We couldn’t spend any more time at the pool than we did and it’s within 10 minutes of so many fascinating beaches, sights & waterfalls. A true representation of the Pura Vida spirit of Costa Rica.

One week simply wasn’t enough time here. We must come back.”
