Nice house in a nice neighborhood!
The house is very comfortable and nice. The detail that the kitchen and social areas are upstairs is quite disruptive but this area it is more fresh the downstairs due the fresh air running and the shadow of the surrounding trees helps it a lot. No complaints, we have an issue with a room AC and the next day was solved. It is very important to check all AC and electric staff is working well before the guests arrive to the house. Despite of this details we spend a wonderful days.

One wonderful month
A group of five women of retirement age stayed for the month and some spouses came down for part of the stay. We were very happy with our time at Casa Kaleta . The home is large with 5 bedrooms and seven patios/decks. The checkin was easy and the home was very clean. We had a rental car and did visit other places in Costa Rica. The gated community is called Tierra Pacifica and we found that the people living or renting there were very friendly and fun to get to know. We always felt safe. The community pool is very nice and was never crowded. Dana is a particularly responsive host and full of knowledge of the community and great ideas for things to do. There are several very good restaurants in the surrounding areas of Playa Junquiall and Paradiso. This was my 4th trip to Costa Rica and I found it to be nearly perfect!

Monkey Viewing Heaven
This is a large very comfortable house with lots of outdoor space looking into the forest canopy. Howler monkeys are frequent visitors and their early morning discussions about the day ahead are delightful. The house is well ventilated and most of us did not need air conditioning, preferring to listen to the forest sounds. Dana provided very helpful information ahead of our 12 day stay and Tierra Pacifica's guards were consistently friendly and recognized us by name as we came and went. The swimming pool area is a gorgeous mix of blue water, stonework, magnificent trees and the sound of flowing water and iguanas. There were typically only a few if any other people there. Beautiful beaches abound nearby and there is a nice trail down to the nearest beach.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Kaleta

Host profile image
Owners Rob and Dana are former (Rob is now retired) and current university administrators, and Dana has been an environmental educator and eco travel guide for over 20 years in Central and South America. Our family was drawn to Playa Junquillal by the wonderful people in the local community and the sustainable tourism in the area, as well as the general "Pura Vida" spirit and Guanacastecan culture. We hail from the Midwest, US, but chose to make Costa Rica our second home nearly 20 years ago.

Our son and daughter, now adults, learned to surf, practice yoga and volunteer in our local community of Playa Junquillal and our family continues to spend significant time in our Villa Kaleta home. Villa Kaleta continues to serve as a home base during our own family and friends tours, trips, and retreats. We welcome you to enjoy our home with your own family and friends and to experience our wonderful beach community and surrounding area first hand.

Our neighboring business owners offer kayak tours, horseback riding, surfing lessons, and sea turtle protection educational tours. Plenty of local dining options, from fresh-caught seafood to typical Costa Rican cuisine, plus wonderful sunset views from local beaches.

Welcome/Bienvenidos!

Why they chose this property

A group travel experience in Playa Junquillal led us to return as a family a year later. Tierra Pacifica, our community, was just being developed and we toured the project. We were greeted by a troupe of Howler Monkeys and an impressive number of birds and we were sold... Being surrounded by nature with easy access to beaches and amenities offered us the best of both worlds. As Midwesterners, we welcome the opportunity to escape our harsh winters for our tropical paradise!

What makes this property unique

We are immersed in nature, an environmentally conscious community, and a wonderful local town. Our home opens to terraces downstairs and up, allowing you to enjoy the canopy and surrounding nature, all within the comfort of a modern home.
