General Overview
Atenas, Costa Rica, is known for its rich history in farming, its pleasant year-round climate, and its natural beauty. It is a popular destination for both retirees and adventure seekers, offering a true taste of Costa Rican culture.
Atenas is not a "touristy" place so you'll get a true feel of what Costa Rica is really like. Easy drives to a lot of the local attractions.
Here's a great Blog Post about the area: https://thethoroughtripper.com/atenas-costa-rica/
The Space
The house is a two story, with four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. There is a pool, a beautiful view over the valley, and within walking distance of town. The kitchen provides all you'll need to prepare home-cooked meals. The bathtub allows for a leisurely soak with a beautiful view. Fiber optic internet service.
Guest Access
This is a two story house. The primary bedroom and bathroom is on the main level, and the other three bedrooms and laundry room are on the lower level. To access the pool, you'll need to navigate stairs also. The driveway is steep, so physical ability to navigate is important.
Notes
Costa Rica is a country full of nature. We believe it's important to experience the surroundings. We do not put poison out for insects, and we do not deter the wildlife that we live among. For example, there are several iquanas that like to sun themselves on the roof so you'll hear them crawling around up there throughout the day. If you have a phobia of insects, Costa Rica may not be for you, as it is impossible to keep them all out of the house despite our best efforts!

Neighbourhood
Roca Verde is one of the most desirable gated communities in Atenas because of it's proximity to town (walking distance). You'll be greeted by a security guard at the gate who will allow you ingress and egress 24/7. You'll often see neighbors and visitors strolling through the neighborhood for exercise.
Getting to my home
Most people rent cars, but arranging transport with shuttle companies is also common. Best to avoid driving at night as the roads can be in poor condition and not great lighting! There are not really public transportation options.
Nearest airport
Fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and Atenas is about 30-40 minute drive from there.
Getting Around
I would recommend hiring a driver or renting a car to explore the country.

Kendra and her husband were wonderful guests at our home. We would welcome them back anytime, and hope to stay in contact! -
Kendra and Shawn have spent a week in our house with their friends. They have been fantastic guests, left the house in a splendid condition and we also met them a week prior at their house in California, US. If you are looking for open minded,well travelled and kind guests, you should have Kendra and Shawn at your place. It has been a pleasure to exchange our home with them Katrin -
Kendra and her family were dream guests. They communicated effectively and left our home spotless. We hope they will return and highly recommend them as guests. -
Kendra was so kind to our home. She left everything pristine, and we would love to have her back! -
Kendra and Shawn were excellent guests in our home. Communication was always easy and lighthearted and they treated our home with the upmost care and respect. They’d be most welcome to stay with us again and I highly recommend them as guests. -
We also appreciate the care she took of our home. We found it as we had left it as well as the cleaning of our car that we had put in the exchange! I highly recommend this exchange!

Kendra
My husband and I are gleefully retired! . Our children are grown and have flown the coop. Sometimes they travel with us but because they're poor college kids, it's not very often. We do have a SERVICE DOG. He's certified and trained. Short hair, well mannered, no destructive behaviors or potty habits.
Our retirement plan is to travel to places we've never been and enjoy experiencing different cultures and places.
