About this property

Spacious 3 Bedroom House near Curu & Isla Tortuga

This beautiful 3 bedroom Spanish style bungalow is nestled in a little subdivision that backs onto a small river. This well air conditioned home features an open floor plan with the living room, dinette and kitchen all flowing together. In the front, a spacious veranda finished in ceramic tile is great for sitting and enjoying the scenery. Out the back door, stepping stones lead to a circular patio with firepit and concrete BBQ grill. Just 2 minutes outside the town of Paquera, this area is a haven for birds and wildlife. Howler monkeys and white faced monkeys frequent the property and over 200 species of birds, including scarlet macaws, parrots, hummingbirds and cuckoos visit regularly. Relatively untouched by development, this region is still quite typical of Costa Rican life prior to the tourist boom. Oxcarts are used to haul material and horses are not uncommon. Just two minutes up the road however the new medical center, banks, supermarkets, and restaurants are all easily accessible. Within ten minutes from the house are beaches Playa Pajaros, Roma del Mar, Playa Mango, Playa Organos, Curu and Isla Tortuga. You should try the plankton bio luminescence kayak tours!

Nice stay in Paquera
This is a cute, clean home located just outside the busier street in Paquera. It is a basic home in a small town, so don't go expecting anything fancy. We stayed the night here after taking the Bioluminescent Kayak tour through Bahia Rica--only about 15 minutes away from this house. It is also very close to the Ferry that runs to Puntarenas if you are traveling to or from that area. The owner and property managers were great at communicating the check in process and giving information on local restaurants, beaches, etc. We ate at the restaurant attached to Hotel Ginana-so good! If your spanish isn't top notch, then keep your google translate handy and make sure you download whatsapp, which is used more often than texting through your phone plan. :) {Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property.}

Beautiful home, rental car advised
My friend and I stayed here for two nights and while we really liked the home (it was well equipped, clean, spacious, and comfortable) we had a couple of communication hiccups with the owner. If you are NOT planning on renting a car here are some things to know- the staff member who will meet you at the bank will find you a taxi (it’s close enough to walk but they will likely not be walking). You will still need to pay for the taxi they find you it is not a service of the house although it isn’t really an option for you to not take it. That was not mentioned to me, and I had informed Michael that we had no rental car. The taxi was very inexpensive, but if this is a budget trip for you, it’s something to be aware of. If you’re lucky like my friend and I you will get Jafet, for your taxi driver, he was so helpful and we really enjoyed our frequent talks with him. I say frequent because we ended up needing a taxi more than a couple times. While we did walk, the road to the beach is not really advisable for walking because there’s not much shoulder on the road, also the bus does not go there. We also needed rides to/from Curu reserve which is not feasible to walk to the entrance of. All of this to say, the house is excellent. The location is not really ideal if you don’t have a car, and while things may seem close by you will likely take more taxis than you expected. If you like local towns Paquera is great, and there are a few very good restaurants to choose from!

Great Bungalow
This is a great bungalow - clean and simple but everything we needed. Communication with the owner was fantastic - speedy and kind! We enjoyed an bioluminescent kayak tour and renting stand up paddle boards - both at Bahía Rica - about 15 minute drive from Mike’s. Thanks for renting to us!

Nice house with very attentive host
We spent only 2 nights in the area and enjoyed both the house and the attractions around very much. Mike was super attentive and helpful Its not fancy and the neighborhood is very local and simple, yet feels safe.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Phelan

Host profile image
I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada but I love this wonderful part of Costa Rica. My daughter, son in law, and my grandson live in the capital San Jose, so Costa Rica is really my second home. Come down, enjoy the house, and this beautiful area and the great people of Costa Rica.

Why they chose this property

We looked long and hard and finally settled here because of the great blend of nature and close proximity to all of the services in the town.

What makes this property unique

Whether you are walking to the convenience store 100 yards from the house, or driving the winding roads down to the beach, you know you are truly in a different country and not an all inclusive that is identical to every other all inclusive the world over. Its fun to 'explore' and bit. It is also very safe in this area. It is quite quiet and the local people are very friendly.
