One of our guests emailed me with this comment: "For an American looking for a rental property in Costal Rica, you offer an American style home with all the amenities we are accustomed to. It is spacious and, bright and is situated in a beautiful natural setting where you can soak in the pool and take in the howler monkeys, and birds, especially in the morning and before dark. We loved the way the home wrapped around the common deck area with the pool at the focus of your attention! Your new grill totally made our stay! The proximity of so many beaches with much to offer made for an incredible experience

We enjoyed the stay here very much. It felt like home. All the necessities were provided, like sheets, towels, bar soap, toilet paper, kitchen utensils and cookware, a large refrigerator, washer and dryer. There was a dishwasher, although we did not use it. There was fast wifi and a large TV. Just a note on the TV -use the Fire Stick app to get the stations on it. All the furniture was very comfortable. The bed probably needs a different mattress - it was very hard. The pool was nice, just a little cleaning of the leaves with the pool net and it was good. One downside on the pool while we were there, was the sweat bees that congregated in 2 corners. That kept us out of the pool most of the time.Getting to the house was a bit tricky. The map provided by VRBO took us beyond the road to the house. We stopped where the map took us and happened upon a fellow that knew where "Casa Dona" was and took us right there. He just happened to be the gardener to the place. If you are coming from Huacas, search for Big Mama's Kitchen on the map, then take the first left, at the guard house and gate. Past the gate, take the first left and go to the very end and you are there.Daniel who oversees the property was very helpful. One day we came back to the house and had no running water. One call to Daniel and he fixed the problem within an hour. Donna - the owner was very instrumental in giving us information on where to get information on excursions, beaches to visit, and restaurants to try.

About the host

Host profile image
I recently relocated from Washington state to Arizona. I am 81 years old and have spent several months each year in Costa Rica since 2009 when my husband and I first invested in a condo in Matapalo and later bought this house in its unfinished state. We re-designed the interior, in 2018 added the garage with the upstairs cabina.

Why they chose this property

The property is located in the small gated community called Montana de Estates, (Mountain Estates). We are literally "in the woods". The house and cabina back up to a large farm used to house the owners horses and sometimes water buffalo. Monkeys come through almost every day except during the dryest season. They stay in the tree canopy traveling miles eating the fruits from the various trees. There are an abundance of birds. I have logged 73 different species at this property on Merlin Birds. The neighborhood is great. Luis, the community gardener is filled with information about the area.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, Privacy and seclusion, yet close to all amenities enjoyed in the surrounding communities of Playa Grande, Matapalo, Huacas, Flamingo, Potrero, and Tamarindo. The touristy areas are available, but it's great to come back to the quiet of our home.
