About this property

Cozy Casita with AC, Nearby Beaches, Paquera Ferry and Town!

The Cozy Casita is nestled in this little-hidden gem of a town called Paquera, taking you back in time, when seeing an occasional oxcart or horse riding on the streets. The house has all you need, your Basic Kitchen Utensils (pots and pans, plates and silver ware), Microwave, Full 4 Gas Burner Stove Oven, toaster, blender and WiFi, Cable TV, AC, and full size refrigerator. Even a few board games and assorted beach basket for youngsters.

NOTE: ONLY HOT Shower, NO Hot Water in Kitchen Sink or Bathroom Sink also because of the humidity of the area there are small humidity boxes left in the house. Please plug them in and disconnect as needed by looking at their color window display. Please don't forget to disconnect them when color changes to DRY status because it could shorten the life span of these items. It's also normal that the boxes get warm.

We recommend 4x4 transportation for the area. You’ll love my place because of the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings, saving your money to explore the area. If you're looking for high-end attention to detail accommodations, we're NOT it, we don't wish to disappoint you and want happy guests, we're "budget" accommodation offering ONLY the basic essentials, this way passing on the savings to you.

If you're a bird watcher, you'll love to see them early mornings and listen to the many birds that fly by or listen carefully to the far-away barking sounds of the howler monkeys, there's also a fenced pasture on the back, when pasture is rented, there may be cows grazing (it's wire fenced around that property).

You have open access to all of Mapi's Cabins next door amenities: small jetted pool, hammocks, hummingbird feeders, and many organic seasonal fruits growing throughout the property you can help yourself to. You also have access to the BBQ picnic area, if you don't want to cook inside or if you want local cuisine that delivers, you'll find menus inside the "Room Service Guide" along with General Information of the area and contact numbers. It's a cozy private place for couples with your own private parking, for solo adventurers and families.

INCLUDES: General Housekeeping ONLY mid-week, weekly or monthly stays will be 1x a week sheets and towels changed with general cleaning. Body Soap & Shampoo as needed (only paper towels, toilet paper and dishwasher soap supplied at initial stay).

If you're at a time of your life, looking for a change of pace and exploring new ventures, this house and the Restaurant in front of it are both For Sale which includes Liquor License! I included 2 pics of the Restaurant. This is a great opportunity for you, to sample taste the area on vacation, the Restaurant can be easily converted into any business of your dreams!

PLEASE BE ADVISED WHEN THE 10RESTAURANT IS IN OPERATION, WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THERE WON'T BE LOUD NOISE...

Our main residence is in the USA but we go back and forth to Mapi's, so if we're not there to greet you, our friendly staff next door at Mapi's will be, please feel free to ask at the office any maintenance or housekeeper, for anything you may need to feel comfortable. At night the office girl is there to help you too up to 10PM ...

PURA VIDA!

Sehr hilfsbereite Vermieter, Preis/Leistung ist gut!
Für den Preis bekommt man eine anständige Unterkunft mit einer angemessenen Ausstattung! Es könnte etwas mehr Pflege betrieben werden, ansonsten ist es aber eine empfehlenswert Unterkunft für ein paar Tage!

10/10 Excellent

About the host

Hosted by Frank & Nilda Bienes

Host profile image
My permanent residence is in the USA. I have a husband and son who I depend on to work all together for our family's business to succeed. We travel back and forth to Costa Rica as to over see this property and our property next door to it, Mapi's Cabins.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it's a simple typical Tico house and wanted to keep it as original as possible. So, we just upgraded some things to keep it aesthetically pleasing and functional and kept it basic and simple, as to pass along the savings to you. Most want to put their money towards the adventure and not pay more than what they have to for just a cozy place to sleep.

What makes this property unique

Its LOCATION is the most unique of all, it's not only nearby your staples: markets, clinic, gas station, Bank, Sodas etc. but also beautiful serene beaches from the Bay with some having dark sand and some others have light sand or see the seasonal whale or dolphin watching, Island hopping and a little further out you have Tambor, Santa Teresa, Mal Pais or Montezuma for surfer waves which you can conveniently get there by BUS!

Curu Reserve has about 9 hiking trails which you'll enjoy discovering native wildlife: deer, monkies, iguanas etc. and has easy access to Curu Beach.

Turismo Curu, which is a boat tour company, its office is in the town of Paquera but their boat excursions go out from Curu Beach (from inside Curu Reserve). They offer snorkeling/diving on the way to the beautiful tourist friendly Island of Isla Tortuga or other Beach tours like to the natural Quesera Beach but because they work out of Curu Reserve, they ADD the additional entry fee of Curu Reserve to their packages, which if you don't have time to see the Reserve, it's non-refundable...

I suggest, the most cost-effective, is to see the best of both worlds doing morning hikes in Curu when it's cooler and most animals are active and then take your boat excursions in the afternoon with Turismo Curu. They also offer ONLY 7AM pick up approximately $2 per person, each way with reservation.

Another Boat Tour option is Bahia Rica Tours, that work out of Cuchillo Beach, located next to Paquera Ferry. They don't work out of Curu, so they don't ADD on the Curu Reserve entry fees and dedicate another day, to just see Curu Reserve...

Don't miss, what most describe as "magical", the night bioluminescence waters! Swimming at Cuchillo Beach or tours with Bahia Rica or Turismo Curu (see their websites).

Another convenience to our place is if you don't feel like driving, the Bus Stop is right across the street or we can call you Taxis, we're only about 10 minutes from Paquera Ferry.
