Lyxig Bali-Style Getaway w Teakdäck, Tikki Hut Lounge & Zen Garden

Welcome to a place that holds a remarkable tale of perseverance and passion. Originally acquired as a foreclosure, this property was abandoned for numerous years, presenting a daunting challenge. The journey began with the arduous process of clearing liens, a task that lasted over a year.. As fate would have it, I encountered an unexpected setback when the roof collapsed and the City, announced the imminent demolition of the property. Through tenacious negotiations, I was granted the opportunity to restore this dwelling to its former glory. The true labor of love unfolded I undertook a complete gutting of the interior, while preserving the sturdy cement walls and floors. The transformation involving truckloads of soil to fill the previously overgrown lake and a dense "jungle" that once surrounded it. With unwavering commitment, every aspect was revitalized, from the fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms to the installation of hurricane windows, A/C systems, electric wiring, plumbing, sewer connections, trusses, roofs, and alarm systems. Upon the completion of the project, I embarked on a life-changing journey to Africa, dedicating my time to volunteer work. Returning with renewed inspiration, I meticulously added the finishing touches, including a storage shed, beautifully crafted wood fences at the front and back, and an enchanting teak wood deck that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape. The outdoor shower and bathroom, adorned with bamboo fences, harmoniously merge with the local lush beauty. Stepping into your vacation rental, you'll sense the essence of Costa Rica, reminiscent of the place I proudly call home.

The most extraordinary feature of my vacation rental is the abundance of Costa Rican teak wood throughout. This cherished wood holds a unique story, as it was planted by my father during my childhood. Together with the help of my brothers, we carefully cut the trees and applied the exquisite wood finishes crafted by our family business in Costa Rica. I personally took charge of the flooring and meticulous details, while the original cement walls and floors serve as a reminder of the property's history prior to our involvement: an abandoned crack house and the neighborhood's eyesore. Brace yourself for a tropical experience, as you encounter a Costa Rican retreat in South Florida.
