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 pool and yoga deck, you will come to a 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 owner's residence with her private swimming pool, a building with lodging for her 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.

* Interactions
Much of the year I live in the main house together with my 12-year old doghter Coco. Coming to Costa Rica on and off for many years, I am available to answer questions, suggest day adventures or destinations, recommend restaurants, and above all do everything I can to make sure that my guests are happy and relaxed!

* 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 pool 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 12-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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Lokita’s casita is located on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the village of Montezuma Costa Rica. It is perfect for a couple looking for a very quiet & secure house. The kitchen & seating area are open to the ocean breezes, while the bedroom & bath area can be air conditioned if you desire. The plunge pool is perfect for a fresh water dip after swimming in the very salty ocean. For us a car was necessary as the 500 foot hill from the village is very steep & dangerous for walking. An ATV rental would also be an option if you came without a car. The view of the ocean & wooded terrain are so special that it’s impossible to overstate
