General overview

This is a comfortable little casita adjacent to our house. As it is a secondary unit, it’s available much of the time. For our bigger house listing please see #10345.

The space

The casita has a sitting/tv area, a well equiped kitchenette, bathroom, sleeping nook and large closet/storage space. It has a large glass door facing the view of the lake and volcano. The setting is tranquil, rural yet just a 10 minute drive to the large town of Tilaran with all amenities.

Guest access

Ground level with parking.

Notes

We live at a higher elevation where the temperatures are comfortable year around. 22-30 C. 75-85 F. We don’t need AC as the cross ventilation keeps the buildings cool. There is lush foliage, many birds, monkeys, if you’re lucky a sloth! It’s very safe here - a great place to use as a base, or stay home and relax.

Neighbourhood

Our neighborhood is rural, with pastureland and forest. You can go on nature walks every day, and may see monkeys, all kinds of birds and gorgeous foliage. There are recreational opportunities on the lake - paddle boarding, kayaking, catamaran tours, etc. Tennis and Pickleball are just 5 minutes away. There are walking trails all around and we’re very close to water activities including paddle boarding, kayaking, lake tours etc. The location is within day trip distance to many desirable destinations, including beaches, hot springs, great hikes, waterfalls, hanging bridges, ziplines, river rafting etc. We also have a variety of restaurants closeby.

Getting to my home

We are a little over an hour from the Liberia Airport (LIR) which is small and easy to navigate, and 3 1/2 hrs. From the main airport in San Jose (SJO). There is a bus from near the San Jose airport to Tilaran. A private driver can bring you from Liberia. If you rent a car, WAZE will bring you here.

Nearest airport

Liberia (LIR) is the closest and easiest to navigate airport, just over an hour away.

Getting around

It is possible to stay without a car, but requires learning the bus system and schedules. A car gives more access to many sites, and if you prefer there are professional drivers available to take you on scheduled trips for a fee. We will likely be home if you are visiting the casita and can assist with grocery runs and other local errands.
