What you will love about this home
Our home has a spacious open floor plan that allows visitors to take advantage of the amazingly comfortable Costa Rica weather. Guests can enjoy the sunshine and backyard garden from the living room, dining room, kitchen and patio, all of which have high ceilings and wall-to-wall sliding glass doors leading outside. The backyard perimeter is lined with lush bushes that allow for privacy but preserve the view and the light.
The home is on a corner lot and has neighbors on only one side which provides an unobstructed view of the mountains and tropical sunsets through the palm trees. The four large upstairs bedrooms have high ceilings, fans, air conditioning, and small balconies.
We have bicycles and helmets that you are welcome to borrow. The neighborhood is flat and the extra-wide streets lined with palm-trees make for calm and enjoyable bike riding around the community.
We're happy to exchange cars. We have a Honda Odyssey van that seats 7 people and a Honda Accord that seats 5. We also have car seats and boosters that you can borrow if you have small children.
We have four parking spaces in our driveway so we use our garage as a game room and guests are welcome to use the ping pong and foosball tables.

What you will love about this neighborhood
Our neighborhood is conveniently located off the 27 freeway which allows easy access to several malls, shopping centers, grocery stores, and hundreds of good quality restaurants. The gated community provides excellent security 24/7 and peace of mind to walk or ride bikes around the 3 miles of residential neighborhood inside the community. Guests can enjoy peace and quiet within the landscaped common areas and palm-tree-lined streets.
Our home is located directly across the street from the shared heated pool, tennis court with lights for night-time playing, club house, fully-equipped exercise gym and playground. Guests can reserve any of these areas for no additional cost.
It is a very family-friendly community. Children ride by on bikes all the time and you can wave to the neighbors as they jog past or walk their dogs around the neighborhood. We are a 7-minute drive from the Clinica Biblica, one of the best hospitals in Costa Rica, a 30-minute drive from the San Jose airport and a 1.5 hour drive to our famous warm Pacific beaches.
Points of Interest:
--Punta Leona Beach- 1.5 hours away- relax in the warm Pacific waves of the palm-tree lined white sand beach; watch out for coatimundis and white-faced capuchin monkeys that love to look for food in your bags!
--La Paz Waterfall Gardens- 1 hour away- surrounded by tropical gardens hike around 5 amazing waterfalls and see hummingbirds, sloths, monkeys, macaws and more
--Poas Volcano- 1 hour away- experience this active volcano surrounded by a cloud forest and observe the aqua-colored liquid in the center of the world's largest crater
-- Downtown San Jose Capital city- 35 min away- Stroll through the National Theater, Plaza de la Cultura, and see a few of the civic buildings such as the Supreme Court, Legislative Assembly, among others.
--Irazu Volcano- 1 hour away- an exquisite drive through the coffee-covered mountains takes you to this National Park; hiking around the dry grey rocky area of this active volcano at 11,000-feet elevation makes you feel like you are walking on the moon.
--Coffee Plantation tour- 1 hour away- get up close and personal with the process of harvesting and roasting coffee. Learn about why Costa Rican coffee is so famous and then try some of it for yourself!
--Manuel Antonio National Park: 2 hours away- the drive to this most-visited national park in Costa Rica is well worth it. The lush rainforest trees come right down to the sandy beaches themselves providing the option of relaxing in the shade or sun tanning out in the waves.
--Rainforest zip-lining- 1 hour away- Canopy Los Sueños provides the closest Tarzan-like opportunity to swing through the treetops while safely connected in a harness; travel from platform to platform over sturdy steel cables while 100 feet up in the air. This will get your adrenaline going!
--White Water rafting- 1 hour away- Paddle down the Costa Rica rivers on a sturdy rafting boat while a guide provides helmets, safety equipment and everything to make it a safe experience.
--Arenal Volcano & hot springs- 3 hours away- We recommend doing an overnight experience to this area as there are enough activities to keep you busy for a couple of nights. See the famous conical shape of the active volcano, hike La Fortuna waterfall, and take a dip in the hot springs naturally heated by the volcano while surrounded by lush tropical gardens.
