This charming 3 bed, 2 bath home is the perfect place for your family beach vacation. Nestled among quaint homes and small boutique hotels in the quiet neighborhood of Playa Negra, it’s a 3 min walk to the beach and just a 5 minute car-ride to all of the shops and restaurants of bustling Puerto Viejo.
As you come through the private gate, you are greeted by the sight of the wrap-around porch beyond the lush vegetation that surrounds the house. A comfortable seating area, hammock, grill, dining table and chairs, provide various options for outdoor entertainment and relaxation.
The front door opens immediately into the spacious open kitchen and living room with soaring ceilings and beautiful exposed beams. There you’ll find all of the cookware and utensils you need to prepare your meals and plenty of space to gather. Beyond the living area you’ll find a full-bathroom and two bedrooms stocked with towels and linens; one with two twin beds and one with a king bed. The large screened windows on the first floor allow for ventilation and for the sights and sounds of the rainforest to surround you. At the top of the open staircase you’ll find the air-conditioned primary suite, with queen bed, full bath, and walk-in closet. The private balcony off of this second floor suite is the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee while you listen to the calls of the local birds.
Casa Ylang is an ideal location from which to launch your tour of the surrounding area. If you’re seeking adventure, you can go hiking, horseback riding, snorkeling, surfing, or kayaking at one of the 6 beaches nearby. When you return from exploring, you can find refreshment in the unique outdoor shower, tucked into the base of a giant ceiba tree. If you prefer to relax closer to home, there is a TV and high speed (200 mbps) internet. Animal lovers can view poison dart frogs, toucans, humming birds, iguanas, agoutis and more without leaving the front porch.
Come enjoy the beauty, the wildlife, and the people of Caribbean Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
