This home is a nature lovers paradise! It is nestled in a beautiful garden full of flowers and fruit trees AND is only 200 yards from the warm waters of the Caribbean. On almost any given day, you will see or hear toucans, iguanas, exotic butterflies, sloths, parrots, howler monkeys, agoutis, or tropical frogs. This home is very unique in Cahuita. No other home in our town will allow you such a personal relationship with nature. The space Almost everyday, you will see toucans, iguanas, colorful butterflies, Bruna the sloth, parrots, howler monkeys, agoutis and exotic tropical frogs. This home provides you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the real Costa Rica without sacrificing any modern conveniences. You will have a full sized kitchen, wifi internet, a safe for your laptop and other valuables, an on demand tankless hot water, and an American purification system for drinking water. Within a 5 minute walk from the house you can – take a surf lesson, go horseback riding, snorkel, savor the delicious local cuisine of the Paradise Restaurant or enjoy a tropical drink at the local Reggae Bar while gazing at the ocean and relaxing in its breeze. Downtown Cahuita is a mere 15 minute walk away – just far enough to ensure your tranquility yet not so far that you will need a car. There you will find a mix of wonderful restaurants, shops, bars and tour agencies to cater to your individual needs. And don’t forget the Cahuita National Park. There you can play on the beach, kayak or simply admire the acrobatic skills of monkeys as you walk through the jungle. If comparing listings, may I suggest three questions you ask the owners prior to making a decision: 1) Will I have to cross a highway from your home to reach the beach? 2) From your home, is the nearest access to the ocean made of sand or huge old coral formations? 3) Do you have a purification system for drinking water? Don't lose precious vacation time due to stomach illness. Guest access You will have the entire home and yard to yourself. Other things to note Please note that the stairs to the second floor are steep. If you have bad balance or bad knees, you will find them challenging to use.
