Montezuma Ocean View Casita - Romantic, Relaxing Luxury

Set above Playa Montezuma in a lush, private tropical garden with spectacular ocean views and gentle sea breezes, this is a quiet haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. The private self-contained Casita with plunge pool and sundeck has king bed, beautiful large bathroom, and kitchenette.

Monkeys, pizotes and toucans are regular visitors! The beach, the famous Montezuma waterfall and excellent restaurants are close by.

DETAILS
The Space
The Casita was built in 2014 to accommodate visiting family, friends and coaching clients. It is cozy, quiet and luxurious.

Imagine this - arriving at the property you come to a plateau of tropical plants. You will walk past the main house, the ocean to your left. Past the owners' private swimming pool and yoga deck, you will come to a tropical path that leads to the Casita. There you will see papaya trees, helaconias and ginger plants, flowering, colorful bushes and palm trees. The private outdoor patio with its hammocks gives way to amazing expansive views of the tropical foliage below and the ocean.

The private plunge pool at the Casita invites you to cool off 24/7 and enjoy the magnificent ocean views and starry nights in tropical splendor.

The undercover patio offers al fresco dining at a beautiful handmade table and chairs from local wood, and a fully equipped kitchenette. Wide sliding doors open the Casita bedroom with its large, comfy king bed, its small inbuilt desk, and at the far end the bathroom.

OTHER INFORMATION

*The Property
The property comprises of 2 acres with the Casita set separately at the far end of the property. There are also the owners' residence with its private swimming pool, reserved for them or those staying at their home; a building with lodging for their private guests, and a nursery. The garden has an abundance of tropical foliage.

The entire property is fenced, and a remote-controlled locked gate at the bottom of the driveway offers added security. The structures are not visible from the road, hence very private and safe.

* Nearby
The Casita is located in Delicias, on a cliff above the small bohemian beach town of Montezuma. The immediate neighborhood offers various adventures - the canopy tour, Montezuma waterfall, the butterfly farm, and excellent restaurants are all within easy walking distance. The beach is just down a (steep) hill, and the town is about 1km from the property.

* Other Things to Note
The Casita is a vacation rental and not a full-service hotel with round-the-clock personnel. Guests are responsible for keeping the Casita clean during their stay, and for handling their own luggage. For stays of more than 6 nights, there will be a change of sheets and towels and a basic cleaning service at no extra cost halfway through the week. The private plunge pool at the Casita is cleaned every other day. A skimmer net is supplied so that guests can skim off anything that may have fallen into the pool inbetween pool service times.

The Casita is available for a minimum of 2 nights and a maximum of 14 nights.

*** Answers to some FAQs:

LOCATION: You would fly into the Costa Rican international airport in either San Jose or Liberia. From there you have various options to get to Montezuma: from San Jose, a shuttle service costs approx $55 per person and takes approx 5.5 hours; for example with Interbus Online or Zuma Tours. A domestic flight to Cóbano with Costa Rica Green Airways or Sansa (20 minutes) followed by a 10-minute taxi ride to my Casita near Montezuma. Or, a rental car either from San Jose airport (for example with Enterprise), or from Cóbano (with Budget).

From Liberia the transfer takes approximately 3.5 hours by car. Shuttle transport is available with Tropical Tours Shuttle Services.

GROCERIES: There are two grocery stores in Montezuma. They stock pretty much everything one might need. Also, every Saturday there is an organic produce market in Montezuma.

MEDICAL: A medical emergency service is available in Montezuma. A hospital, pharmacies, doctors and dentists are available in the next biggest town Cóbano, about 10 minutes drive away.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard. Housekeeping is available on request.

This was our second stay so we got to know the area quite well as we were there for two weeks. We found several great walking/hiking routes and great restaurants nearby to drive or walk to. This trip we went on a private fishing trip with spicy tuna, the zip line and golf so there is a lot to keep you busy. We love the property and the staff. The gardens are amazing and the casita met all our needs. We plan on returning in a couple of months for our third visit.

Beautiful Views and very cute Casita. outside kitchen as nice but lots of ants, understand why plastic bins were supplied. the listing said a short walk to town was misleading as the house was on a VERY Steep hill with a narrow road and somewhat busy (dangerous). we ended up having to drive to town and beach each day we stayed there which we cut short (by 4 nights) for this reason. we paid for entire week (7 nights) and only stayed 3 nights.

Invasion of the howler monkeys!!

Wasn’t really an invasion, but we had an awesome first two days with a group of 8 howlers camped out in the trees right above the casita.This is truly a wonderful spot, and a great place to base out of when exploring zuma and the nicoya peninsula. Starting every day with a short hike down to the falls is amazing!

Beautiful View

The view from this place was AMAZING! It was wonderful waking up in the morning and enjoying the sunrise from the dining area. The hammocks were so enjoyable too! The location was very private and felt safe. We loved the tips shared with us about Zuma Tours. They were excellent! We took a boat excursioun to Isla Tortuga and saw dolphins on the way. We also booked a surfing lesson through them which was amazing! The beaches are gorgeous there, and the tip to eat at Ylang Ylang Restaurant was awesome! The kitchen was fine, but be prepared for the ants. They were our faithful companions during cooking. :) The shower had some issues, but we were able to manage. We would definitely stay there again!

Unparalleled View

If you are looking for a spectacular view and privacy, this is your place. We've been vacationing for 30 years and this was the best view we've ever had. It's very private as well. The dipping pool is awesome but if you rent the Casita you can't swim in the regular pool at the adjacent house. The bed was comfy and the bath fine. The kitchen is outside and that makes it interesting but we did fine with it. Birds weren't that plentiful but plenty of lizards and hearing the howler monkeys barking from the jungle was cool. There's a great restaurant less than five minutes away. Walking down to town is a breeze but it is VERY uphill on the return, so you might want a taxi.

A beautiful, serene getaway for our 30th Anniversary

Wonderful one-bedroom, perched atop the mountain! We woke up to one of the most beautiful views you could dream of, every morning! Our days consisted of sitting on the covered patio, in the morning, enjoying a coffee, the view, and the sounds of the jungle waking up. From there, each day was different, Ten minutes drive down to the town of Montezuma for breakfast, or driving over to Santa Teresa, or going on a snorkeling excursion at Tortuga Island, or on a walking through the Wildlife Preserve, or a Horseback ride along the beach or in the mountains, or just a relaxing day at the beach. Everything was a short drive to get to. We did spend one day beside our dipping pool, laying in the sun. We finished off every day with dinner at any one of the restaurants in Montezuma or Cabana, eating amazing food, and then back to the Casita to relax on the patio before calling it a night. Lokita, the host was absolutely wonderful! While not on site during our stay, she was readily available via the VRBO message board, and had her on-site staff there to help if needed. My wife and I will return!!

Beyond our expectations

The minute the gate opens at the bottom of the driveway you know you have arrived somewhere special, the gardens on the whole property are stunning and well-maintained, you couldn’t ask for a better view, and to wake up every morning to the sunrise was a gift. The bed in the Casita was comfortable and the layout of the property was well designed. We enjoy walking so we loved the location as there is a nice loop across from the butterfly farm and it’s a 15 min walk to town. There were several great restaurants within walking distance and in town, Some of our favourites were right in Delicious, the Italian restaurant which has new owners right from Italy and there is a seafood one, but I can’t remember the name, and the Butterfly pop had great food. Our check-in process was seamless With Lokita the staff were helpful. We hope to book the Casita for three weeks next year as one week was not enough.

Jungle Oasis

If you are looking for being one with the local nature, surrounded by beauty, in a laid back little beach town, then look no further! Our stay at Lokita’s casita was everything we’d hoped! From the howler monkeys and bird calls to rise to, chirping geckos and lazy lizards to entertain you, as well as a lovely plunge pool to keep you cool while you enjoy it all. To say it didn’t disappoint would be an understatement. Don’t forget a pair of binoculars to comb the trees for howlers and birds in the distance! While feeling complete privacy in the serenity, Lokita was just a quick message away for any questions or recommendations. We hope to return sooner than later!

Gorgeous Private Casita

We had a wonderful stay at this Casita right outside of Montezuma. The view and privacy was outstanding. The infinity dunk pool was an amazing feature we used from morning to night. The grounds of the property are meticulously maintained and beautiful. The location is outside of the city of Montezuma, but close enough for restaurants and beautiful beaches. There couldn’t be a more private location. The owner, Lokita, was extremely responsive to any concerns and gave advice on places to visit and eat. We hope to return to this rental again.

Montezuma Casita - property #930968

The property owner had been away for 7 months and was not there when I arrived so I dealt with the “groundskeeper” through Wattsapp. He spoke no English but we managed. When I went into the Casita there was an overwhelming sewer/septic smell which I was told had never been an issue. I ended up locating the source of the smell and repairing it on my own. I was then abruptly informed by the property owner upon her return to stop messaging the groundskeeper. There seemed to be a problem with the AC from the beginning and it eventually stopped working which again I was told had never been a problem. The owner dealt with the issue promptly but implied that somehow I contributed to its failure. I was asked to leave for most of the day to facilitate the replacement of the AC, it was non repairable. One day there was a water line break and had water shut off for most of one day. The ants were numerous on the property and power outages were numerous. I ran out of toilet paper and did not ant to deal with the hassle of asking for more so I bought my own. I was informed of repairs required to the carport and had to move my car, it didn’t happen until the next day. The owner told me my car was touching the plants at the front of the carport and then put a rope across the front of the carport. When I returned home the owner messaged me and said she went into the property after I left and the floor was wet and the AC probably froze and she will not accept another reservation from me.
