The space Casa Santa Maria Welcome to the jungle at this absolutely luscious tropical hideaway offering a secluded, verdant setting just steps from one of Costa Rica’s best surfing beaches. This fully open-air paradise offers complete immersion in your surroundings, from the sound of birds each morning to tree frogs chirping each night. This home produces its own electricity from solar-powered panels and stores excess power in batteries located at the home. Wake up each morning with the sunrise and sea breeze blowing through the bamboo walls, then walk a few steps down to the beach for a quick dip in the ocean. When you return, draw a bath in the gorgeous soaking tub and relax with the jungle as your backdrop. When you get hungry, the well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to whip up a full meal or just some snacks, and there’s room to eat around the kitchen island. Spend the day hiking, surfing, lounging on the beach, having a dip in the property’s plunge pool, or just reading a book on the sofa. Keep dinner simple on the carbon grill, then choose from either bedroom sanctuary when you get sleepy - another day in paradise starts tomorrow.
