About this property

Pool, 6 beaches 🦜, Tortuga Island🐢, Curu 🐒, & bioluminescence.

Away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Come enjoy our little piece of paradise.

We are located just outside of the small friendly town of Paquera. It's just a 3 minute drive to the center of Paquera that has all the modern conveniences. There are 3 grocery stores, a pharmacy, a variety of restaurants, bars, ATM, delicious bakeries, and a great coffee shop.

The house is conveniently located just a few minutes from the Puntarenas ferry. From there, you can explore the San Jose area, Monteverde, Arenal, La Fortuna, Jaco, or many other popular sites. Make it a day trip or spend a night and head back home in the morning. Check the ferry schedules to maximize your time.

We are completely fenced in with one other house, so you can close the gate at night for added security and privacy. If you open the gate early in the morning, you might catch the guy who drives by with fresh bread, cheese, fruits and other goodies. Listen for the three beeps of his horn. We love to get the Costa Rican enchiladas which are puff pastries filled with deliciousness. They are cheap, hot and wrapped in foil.

In the late afternoon, listen for the macaws to fly by. You can't miss their loud squawk! We have also had visits by some beautiful green parrots in the nearby trees.

There is a lot to keep you busy if you want to explore the area. And of course there are multiple uncrowded beaches to visit if you want to swim and relax. You could visit a new beach every day for a week and never drive more than 25 minutes.

Curu Wildlife refuge is about 10 minutes from the house. From there you can hike for miles, kayak, horseback ride, take a scuba diving, snorkeling or fishing tour.

If you love turtles, check out the turtle rescue in Tambor about 25 minutes away. Another day you may want to take a boat ride out to Tortuga island. Or if you love surf towns, head to Santa Theresa for the day or Jaco right across the water.

Montezuma is a must! Head out early and hike the waterfall. Then have some lunch and check out the shops. It's about 45 minutes from the house.

You'll be right at home in this house that was made out of a 40' shipping container. It's insulated, has hot water on demand throughout the entire house, and a washing machine in the back.

The kitchen is well equipped with a microwave, coffee maker, crock pot, rice cooker, gas stove, toaster, and blender. There is also an outdoor kitchen area with a sink and a built in charcoal grill.

You will also have use of 2 bicycles, a snorkel set, 4 beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, a beach umbrella, pool floaties and yoga mats.

Thoughtful amenities

Our stay was great. The home is very clean and close to town, beaches, activities. Host communication was top notch - she was very responsive. We appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, floaters, and boogie boards - made our beach day so comfortable! Beds extremely comfortable. Would stay again.

Private

We loved the location for birds and privacy. There is another home on the property, but thankfully no one stayed there. It was a challenge to get to the beaches as the roads we bad....We had lots of shade and the plunge pool was refreshing

Perfektes Haus zum entspannen

Love the house

Gorgeous house, my kids loved it very much, lots to do in the area, Rhonda had everything highlighted on a book, of what her favourite places to see were. I would stay here again, and Rhonda was a great host. The house was slightly difficult to find, we showed up super late and my service wasn’t working on my phone…. But we made it in the end.

Nice home & lots to do nearby

We stayed here for the entire month of April 2024 and enjoyed the house. During the driest and hottest month in CR, the refreshing pool and reliable AC was appreciated. The home was comfortable and modern, and the outdoor area covered. The living area is all outside like many homes in Costa Rica. Paquera itself is a sleepy town but there is lots to do all around the Penninsula and we took full advantage of all the activities Rhonda recommended. Two things to know - the road kicks up a lot of dust (but there is home in front of this one that blocks it somewhat). And the third bedroom does not have AC just FYI. We did not need it so not an issue for us. There was some noisy building that started up next door but probably just a temporary thing. Owners very nice and responsive. Overall, a nice stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
The property is very nice, it has big rooms, baths and nice social areas. The upstairs area had a nice space to work, but it doesn't have A/C and the temperatures can be very high. The soroundings are very quiet and it seemed safe. We had problems finding the property because there isn't a sign on the road. The instructions in the reservation did not worked, so I had to go to the main road to find cellphone signal in order to call the owner and then received the correct instructions to get in. On the way out, even when the checkout it's at 11am, the cleaning lady knocked on the door at 8am and started to clean, so we had to leave earlier. I think communication with the person in charge is the main problem, when I talked to the owner she helped me and solved my problem.

Cómodas vacaciones.

La casa propiamente, es muy cómoda. Cocina bien equipada, baños espaciosos, suficientes paños y demás artículos. Las habitaciones y las camas son cómodas, aunque éstas, son altas para personas de baja estatura. Piscina adecuada. Comedor falta una mejor adecuación; no hay bancos en el desayunador y la mesa de afuera es pequeña. Hay aire acondicionado en dos habitaciones solamente; esto se resuelve dejando las puertas abiertas de éstas para que el aire circule por toda la casa.
