Flex House – Full Home with Pool and Guest House, Close to the Beach

Welcome to CasaFlex, a newly renovated paradise just a 5-minute walk to the beach! Have a peek of the ocean from the terrasse and look at the parrot while taking your coffee. You can also take a walk to the village for grocery shopping, go to the beach and take surf lessons.The main house features 3 bedrooms, while the annexed guest house offers a queen bed, bunk bed, full bathroom, and kitchenette. Perfect for two couples, this setup ensures comfort, privacy, and space for long stays.

The house is very safe and secure. There's a guard on duty every evenings and nights. The house is also equipped of security cameras, safes, alarm systems and digital locks.

Step into a spacious living room designed for relaxation, with plenty of natural light and cozy seating to unwind after a day at the beach. Enjoy meals in the charming dining area, or head outside to the beautiful pool where you can soak up the sun with a fresh drink in hand. At night, retreat to naturally lit rooms with comfortable beds that guarantee a restful sleep, making every moment at CasaFlex feel like home.

The charming beachside town of Esterillos Oeste is a short drive 20 minutes from Jaco and 40 minutes from Manuel Antonio. Although Jaco is only a short drive away, Esterillos Oeste remains quiet and peaceful with his 300 people. The town is surrounded mostly by patches of rice fields, grazing cattle, and thick tropical rainforest. Once you arrive in the modest town center near the beach, you will find a couple of small grocery stores, a few restaurants. Costa Ricans live in Esterillos Oeste, but there is also a sizeable population of ex-pats from USA and Canada including several living around the house.

Esterillos offers stunning views of the Pacific, and access to some of the best surfing and paddling in Costa Rica. This area is renowned for its abundance of fish, including black and blue marlin, sailfish and dorados, making it the perfect spot to cast a line and land a live one with sportsfishing expeditions. Visitors who want to remain on dry land can head out into the lush rolling hills that surround Esterillos Oeste on an ATV, or indulge in a leisurely trek through the countryside on horseback.

Our family enjoyed every minute of being at Casa Flex. It is perfect for a larger group and the pool did not disappoint! Clean, safe, great property, and a view of the ocean from the upper deck/tiki lounge. Enjoyed my coffee every morning. Location was convenient and located only a few minutes from the beach (albeit some trekking up and down a hill). The beach was quiet and the town is not touristy - great surfing spot! For those looking to see monkey's, if you go down the street and up the hill to the red gate at 4-5pm, they will be there and give you a show. Julien was an excellent host with great communication. Will definitely visit Casa Flex again in the coming years.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Flex especially the pool and were surprised to see monkeys in the trees and macaws flying overhead! The A/C’s worked great and the main house suited our needs.Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the apartment because of water intrusion but the owners worked with us on a solution. It was our first family vacation in Costa Rica and we plan to come back! Communication with the property manager and owner was easy and efficient. The town is lovely and the beach was pleasant with tide pools to swim and snorkel.
