The space Casa La Palapa Perfect for a family vacation or a couples retreat, this beautiful beachfront house has everything you need for your next tropical getaway. Tivives is a port and bay located in the canton of Esparza on the Southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica in Puntarenas Province about 5 miles south of Caldera, and less than an hour from San José. The port town has a vast mangrove swamp, a great sports fishing platform, and a spectacular silver-colored beach. The beach features a point break that breaks to the left and right in a gnarly fashion at a river mouth over a sandy bottom. The area is under the protection of the government so it is largely undeveloped. Playa Herradura's beaches, Los Sueños Golf Club, and fishing opportunities are all a short drive from this home. The heart of Jacó is a little further from the house, with the famous shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Pastor Diaz Avenue. This beach house features a private secure gate, beautiful gardens with palm trees, a full kitchen, and an open furnished tv -living room with high ceilings. Enjoy your days in the private outdoor pool and furnished patio just a few steps from your exclusive entrance to the lovely sandy beach of Tivives.
