About the host
Hosted by Andrew McCorkindale

We are a family from Canada that loves the outdoors, exploring all the flora and fauna that we can.
Why they chose this property
Birding originally brought us to Costa Rica and after years of of travelling could not find a more ideal location to enjoy all that mother nature has to offer.
We visited many areas in Costa Rica and chose our current location. It won us over because it's a true "Goldilocks zone" not too hot, not too cold, just right for us and the birds that inhabit all the regions and migrate here.
We have identified more than 200 species of birds and butterflies on this property alone.

What makes this property unique
Punta de Vista was carefully plotted out to give the seclusion we crave when it's time for a vacation, the nature we love, the mountain views and breeze; but also the close proximity to the coast with all the beaches, surfing, restaurants, and day trips that make the say memorable.
