A luxurious fully appointed 3 bedroom/3.5 bathroom house with living room, full kitchen, and dining area. Perfect for a family or group of friends who want a comfortable and private place to enjoy their time in Costa Rica. Surrounded by forested mountains with a great view of the Pacific Ocean, and near world-class, uncrowded surf. Daily room cleaning service is provided following the highest cleaning standards. Transportation and tours can be arranged with local, trustworthy businesses. The space Located in the secluded Nicoya Peninsula in the Costa Rican province of Guanacaste, you will awaken to the sounds of Howler monkeys in the trees, step outside to see migrating whales from the comfort of the pool, and witness the beautiful Scarlet Macaws as they make their way through the trees. You can spend your days at Islita laying by the pool or ocean, reading in a hammock, or going on surfing, kayaking and fishing adventures. On your short walk to the beach, you can encounter deer, coatis and countless tropical birds, or you can lay by the pool and watch these amazing creatures as you sun bathe or sip on a drink. If you’re searching for unique experiences in this remote part of Costa Rica, you can go to neighboring Camaronal Wildlife Refuge to see nesting sea turtles at night and newborn hatchlings at dawn or dusk, or surf on its world class, powerful and uncrowded waves. Similar experiences can be found at Corozalito beach, where surfing and turtles abound and even fewer people visit. In addition, our friendly local operators offer multiple tours including ocean and mangrove kayaking, horseback riding, surfing lessons, stand up paddle boarding, sport fishing, and yoga. The small luxury hotel next door also offers zip lining tours and a cocktail bar on the beach. For those in search of a cultural experience, the local town of Islita, within walking distance, offers community guided tours of the women's art cooperative and the outdoor art museum. You may also request to take Tico (Costa Rican) cooking and tropical cocktail mixing lessons. Typical Costa Rican activities such as cow milking, cattle driving and Guanacastecan (the region) rodeo can also be arranged in the neighboring towns.
