| "CASA LINDA" Caribbean Jungle/Beach House RENTAL |
Architectual gem, this tree house-like hardwood hideaway sits within 2 acres of semi-tamed rainforest on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Perfect for nature lovers looking for a serene, very private place to perch within the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge and a 10-minute walk to the stunning, palm-lined beaches and an authentic fishing village. The house has an open floor plan with a loft bedroom, accessed via a spiral staircase (it's a great observatory point of the jungle canopy). Three folding consertina doors open entirely, merging the indoors with the out-of-doors. Skylights, high ceiling, and fans offer an airy and light feel to the tropical environs. It is perched atop a knoll with a 40-step access offering panoramic views of the surrounding, unspoiled rainforest, home to wild orchids, bromeliads, various kinds of palm trees and giant rainforest tress frequented by monkeys, sloth, tropical birds, morpho butterflies plus exotic amphibians.
The village of Manzanillo offers many amenities - beachfront restaurants, espresso/ice cream/ cake cafe, pizza parlor, several inexpensive local cafes, a diving shop where snorkels, masks, kayaks, and/or various tours into the jungle or on the sea can be arranged/rented. Taxi, public busses or private buses travel between here and San Jose.
The bustling resort town of Puerto Viejo, 8 miles before Manzanilo, meets all travelers' needs: ATMs, banks, pharmacies, doctor and dental clinic, post office, shopping malls, well-stocked supermarkets, a Saturday farmers market, a slew of eating places, lively night life. |
