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 an excellent restaurant, are all within easy walking distance. The beach is just down the 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.

Much of the year I live in the main house with my 13-year old canine doghter Coco who is very chilled-out, friendly and trained. She is free to roam the property, and may come by for a visit or two during your stay to make sure all is well with you and to give and receive some love.

*** 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.

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.

Awesome Place to Relax and Enjoy the Peninsula

We truly loved the Casita with a gorgeous view and small pool overlooking the bay. It’s perfect for a couple who wants to relax and still have access to what Montezuma and the surrounding has to offer.

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!!

Beautiful Ocean View Casita

We loved our stay in this casita. The views from this place are better than the pictures. We loved being close to the town of Montezuma, but still tucked away in the beautiful oasis. This place is very well thought out and very clean. We hope to stay here again someday!

Paradise- away from it all!

If you’re looking for a laid back beach town with abundant nature, this is it! The casita was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for breakfast and lunch in. View is incredible. Privacy abounds with all the tropical landscaping. Would recommend this place if you are planning to go to Montezuma.

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.

A peaceful, serene place

The view is to die for, Lokita is a gracious and helpful host, the grounds are impeccable, and the 18 foot cathedral ceilings belie the name “casita”. The only problem: the stay was too short.

Lovely property!

We spent five nights at Lokita's charming Casita. Very hot while we were there but always seemed to be breezes on this hilltop setting. Beautiful sunrises and a great pool. Quiet and peaceful landscaped setting. Some really good restaurants- eg Clandestina- close by as well as some lovely beaches. We had a great time and would love to return in the future.

The property, and casita were very beautiful. Lokita was a wonderful host. Montezuma falls were within walking distance and so fun to swim in; as was Montezuma beach. Fun catching waves, snorkeling and scuba diving. Cabo Blanco is not far for a good hike. And relax! Pura Vida y Muchas Gracias!

Paradise at its best!

I feel so lucky to have found this cozy, romantic and adorable place to spend a few nights. Away from the center of town and yet so close to it. It was the perfect place to relax, go down for a swim and walk at the nearby beach and then come home to our privacy and magnificent view. Lokita, our host was the best! I highly recommended.

This property was great. The wildlife is amazing. The Montezuma Waterfalls are minuets from the property. The internet was good for my work, I was able to video chat with no issue. Location is key to Montezuma, but make sure you have a SUV the road conditions in the area require this.

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!

Perfect Getaway

Right from booking Lokita went above and beyond by sharing local recommendations, including all things from food to activities. We went to numerous restaurants recommended and loved each one, also going horse back riding that was suggested. The casita had everything we needed and provided us a safe and secure stay in paradise. We were greeted upon arrival and had all the information needed for our stay. The location was better than expected and a close walk away from a waterfall hike. We felt safe and very content in this casita. We would stay again and again here. You can hear the sound of howler monkeys and birds from the porch, a true pura vida experience. Thank you for hosting us!

Lokita’s place is awesome!

We have been visiting Costa Rica since 1997, and Lokita’s casita is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary there, and everything was perfect. The location can’t be beat. It’s peaceful and quiet, and just up the hill from Montezuma. From there we visited Curu, as well as Cabo Blanco national parks, went to Cobano, Cabuya, and walked many beautiful beaches. Lokita is a wonderful hostess and we are so glad we were able to enjoy her little slice of heaven. We tried to take her dog Coco back with us but she wouldn’t budge!

Beautiful Views

Our recent stay at the casita was absolutely wonderful! The house faced the east so every morning we were able to wake up and watch the sunset without even getting out of bed. The views from the casita were amazing and the pool and property were wonderful as well. Lokita and Coca were very welcoming and Lokita was available if there was anything we needed help with. The walk down the hill to town was definitely a great work out (although going back up is a challenge so we ended up just catching a taxi back up) and it was a perfect distance from the town, the beach and many different activities Montezuma had to offer. This was our first trip taken abroad, and staying at the casita really made this trip memorable!
