Our home is the only modern home in the neighbourhood, surrounded by simple Costa Rican homes. The home is complete with a pool, A/C (you will appreciate this in Costa Rica!), full size washer & Dryer, dishwasher, microwave, oven, coffee maker, blender, etc... The bathrooms are equipped with luxurious rain showers. You will experience luxury in jungle and ocean surroundings .
Our caretaker Fatima, Junior and their child (please don`t speed on the property) live in a second home on the property near the front and will offer advice on the area show you the property and is very helpful to many aspects of your stay. She is very respectful of guests privacy.
The house is 200m from an undeveloped beach, accessed by a path between palm and mango trees teeming with nature, sometimes we see sloths, monkeys and iguanas. Guests have reported seeing Capuchin monkeys, iguanas, sloths, toucans and a huge variety of other birds in our yard, Fireflies light up the lawn in front of the house at night...
You can walk for hours on the beach encountering only a few locals net and line fishing.
Electric gated entrance operated by remote or keypad. After check-in you will be given a code or remote to open the gate as you arrive. A nice welcoming feature to make you feel at home.
You will have access to the entire home and property except for the small caretaker house near the entrance the property. The caretaker, Fatima, lives there with her husband (Junior), their toddler (Junior) and their dog (Spot).
Her english is quite good and she can help arrange tours, excursions or help you in any way to enjoy your stay.
My Co-host and property caretaker Fatima are always available.

Matapalo is a tiny town, with a few small stores. Many of the locals have lived their for their entire lives, and speak little english.
The beach is pristine, yet to be discovered by most travellers. Close by are the popular tourist destinations of Dominical, a quaint surf town, and Manuel Antonio, an internationally renowned Nature Reserve, known for its diverse wildlife and active restaurant and bar scene. (We saw almost more wildlife in our own area than in Manuel Antonio!)
The local restaurants near Matapalo are small and delicious. The nearest `large town` is Quepos, about a 20mn drive away. This is where you will find large supermarkets, pharmacies, clothing stores, hospital, clinic, dentist and so on.
We can offer contacts for airport transfers for you to arrange but do not take responsibility for these outside services.
There is local bus that goes right by the town.
We recommend renting a car (or even a 4x4) so you can explore the area. There is ample parking on the property in front of the house.
We are beautifying the grounds with flowering plants, trees, and bushes. Fatima will ask your permission if workers are needed on the property unless emergency situations arise.
The property is secured by a fence and locked gate.
