あなたのプライベートプールはコスタリカであなたを待っています！

We are Ian and Stevie Folkes from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. In addition to this villa, we also own and manage several rental properties (including a cottage) in Ontario, Canada, so we have experience keeping our tenants happy. We hope that your first stay will lead to another, then another. It really is that good in Costa Rica.

We plan to visit a couple of times a year and arrange some enhancements while we are there, including additional landscaping front and back. So far we have added two beautiful Red Palm trees in the back yard as well as a lime tree, orange tree and avacado tree. The three trees should provide fruit but no promises! The patio has been enlarged, with lights and a fan added. A walkway has been installed from the patio to the pool.

For a few years, we researched Caribbean and South American vacation properties in Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, etc. but didn't find the "perfect" place. We had been to Florida many times over the years with our children but didn't feel like it was for us any more. Then we came across a booth at the Toronto Home Show that was selling Villas in Costa Rica. A couple of months later we visited the Los Delfines Community and the building site. We fell in love with everything about CR. The food, the beaches, the people, the monkeys, the short 5 hour direct flight and the opportunity to be in a wonderful place whenever we choose. It really is Pura Vida (pure life)!

We watched our villa being built over a year and a half via construction updates on the internet and waited for our chance to go and see it. That happened in August 2016 and we absolutely felt at home in the Villa. It's everything that we, and you, will need for a relaxing vacation at a home away from home.

The name Casa Estrella (Star House) was chosen as we found that the stars are clear and bright during Costa Rica nights, especially from the pool.

Pura Vida!

If you are looking for a change from noisy, crowded all-inclusives, this exciting, unique and affordable vacation could be for you.

The last time we went to an all-inclusive, the pool was good, the beach was great but the over-served teenagers (and some adults) were not so great. You have probably experienced it as well. The food can be questionable, the towels sometimes are available and sometimes are even large enough for an average adult. It's time to take control of your precious vacation time, do something adventurous and do it on your terms.

Your Life. Your Terms. Your Vacation.

This beautiful, modern villa is available as of December 1st, 2016. Situated in the Ara del Mar community within the gated Los Delfines Golf Club, this brand new and fully equipped villa will provide you, your family and friends with the perfect getaway location in friendly Costa Rica! Bring home a Red Snapper and shrimp from the daily fish market and have a feast that you will never forget! Or eat out every night at local restaurants or the Los Delfines club house. Go zip-lining, waterfall touring, surfing, deep sea fishing or ATVing - there are many excursions to choose from

The Low (Green) Season (May to November) is just as good or better than the High Season due to the occasional (and usually short) rain events. Sunny and warm every day but everything stays green due to the rain. If you are looking for less people, this is the time for you. September and October are the rainiest months but even then generally there are one or two showers a day that you can plan around because they are usually around the same time of day each day.

Take control of your next vacation and make it awesome. Plan your days or plan nothing. Every day is 100% yours to enjoy with your friends and family.

Your Life. Your Terms. Your Vacation.

Pura Vida!
