Nature Reserve

This property is a true wildlife sanctuary, teeming with an incredible diversity of creatures. From colorful toucans, macaws, and sloths to playful monkeys and white-tailed deer, there’s always a new sight. Birdwatchers will delight in the variety of species visiting the 2.5-acre lake, home to turtles, herons, basilisk lizards, and many other fascinating wildlife species like the famous red-eyed tree frog! If Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity beckons you, this is the perfect place to experience it firsthand.

Agroforest, Medicinal Plants, Native Trees

Explore acres of fruit orchards and wander through diverse hardwood and native trees while learning about various medicinal plants and exotic spices. For those seeking a deeper understanding of the surrounding land, guided tours are available upon request. We are by no means botanists or biologists, but we learn as we grow and have a profound love and appreciation for the land we've been cultivating over the last 20 years and enjoy sharing our experience with others!

Please note: Although not visible from the property, the home sits above the Costanera (coast hwy). While the house itself offers peaceful seclusion, traffic sounds —especially semi-trucks using air brakes and motorcycles— may be heard clearly from the back deck. Inside the house, these sounds are much less noticeable; however, if you are sensitive, bringing earplugs might enhance your comfort while sleeping. Most guests find the symphony of birds, waves, and wildlife more than enough to create a relaxing atmosphere, but each person has their unique perspective and expectations. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out prior to booking!

Each home has three bedrooms with a private pool, kitchen, laundry, living room, and dining room. There is a large, covered deck off the living room with outdoor seating. The bedrooms are located downstairs, all connected to an internal garden between the main section and the bedrooms.

We live on the surrounding property and are available when needed. If this home is booked, please check availability at our other homes. Click on my profile and you'll find all of our listings!

Bruno and I have lived in Costa Rica for over 20 years now. I am from the US and he is from Brasil. We were both drawn to Costa Rica by its natural beauty and diversity. We both enjoy surfing, giving tours of the property, and learning each day from the miracles that surround us. We're happy to share our experience of the area and recommend visits to national parks and hikes to the most amazing waterfalls! We can also book tours such as the catamaran to Isla Tortuga, zip-lining, waterfall repelling, and the famous mangrove monkey tour.

Playa Bejuco is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica! It is perfect for surfing, horseback riding, or simply enjoying one of the most awe-inspiring sunsets you've ever seen. There are some great restaurants within a mile from the property and many others in the towns of Jaco, Quepos, and Manuel Antonio. We are always happy to recommend our favorites! Please note that, although the property is centrally located, we highly suggest renting a car. The beaches and restaurants are close but not walking distance.

The property is centrally located approx. 2 hours from Juan Santa Maria International Airport in San Jose, just 25 minutes south of Jaco and 35 minutes north of Manuel Antonio National Park. There are restaurants and a market within a mile from the property but there are no sidewalks or walking paths to the shopping center or beach. We highly recommend renting a car directly at the airport with a hotspot if you don't have an international data plan. The best way to navigate is via GPS or the app Waze. Once you get to the property it's very easy to get around as most everything is located off the Coast Hwy. If you are arriving late and don't feel comfortable driving at night, please let me know and I can reserve private transportation from the airport for $160 each way. There are car rental agencies here at the beach. For your safety, we DO NOT allow Ubers, Taxis, or other outside vendors onto the property.

-The property is located 1 mile from the beach. It's best to drive a few minutes and park right on the beach. Since there is a mangrove between the property and the beach, there is no direct access on foot. We are 2 hrs from SJO (Juan Santa Maria Int'l Airport).

-Since we do not have an exact address, it would be helpful if you could download Whats app so that we can send our exact location. Please print the written directions on Airbnb if you won't have phone service.

-We highly recommend renting a car. Navigating is easy as we're right off the Costanera and most activities are located along this why. It isn't feasible to get Uber's or taxis from the property and for security reasons, we do not allow outside vendors onto the property.

-As mentioned in the property description, the home sits above the Costanera. Although not visible from the house, you will hear traffic sounds, especially from semi-trucks using air brakes and motorcycles. It's most noticeable from the back deck, whereas inside the house it is much less noticeable. If you are sensitive, however, bringing earplugs might enhance your comfort while sleeping. Most guests find the symphony of birds, the sound of the waves, and the diverse wildlife more than enough to create a relaxing atmosphere, but each person has their unique perspective and expectations. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out prior to booking!
