About the host
Hosted by Ana Engel
Ana and Juan live in Calgary, Canada. Juan is a semi retired engineer and Ana is an international languages teacher. We enjoy nature, as well as hiking and camping. In Canada, we enjoy camping trips in the summer with our two adult children and our dog. Our mid term plan is to spend the winter months in our property.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the peaceful environment, surrounded by nature. We spend most mornings watching birds, iguanas, and wildlife. In the afternoon, we go for walks around the community or in the back roads. The location is close to Puriscal, where you can find groceries and basic necessities. It is also close to San Jose, and to the Pacific coastal towns. We often do day trips to Jaco, Playa Hermosa, and Los Sueños gated community.
What makes this property unique
Our house offers three comfortable bedrooms and two spacious bathrooms. It is located in a corner lot. Neighbours are close but not adjacent to our house.
