About the Property

Cottage, Studio, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)
 
Comfortable and private for two guests, Casa Rica is located in a gated 5 acre estate of tropical gardens, fruit trees and exotic plants. The scent of ylang ylang trees perfume the air and the view from your porch is of large Guanacaste trees, exotic flowers, and the jungle faced coastal mountain range.  The fruit garden provides a bounty of  bananas, starfruit, coconuts, mango, citrus and more.
 
The interior of the house is Balinese wood, having been designed and built on the island of Bali Indonesia and transported to Costa Rica. The king sized bed is extra comfortable with a a pillow top mattress, and the full bathroom and kitchen bring all the comforts of home. There is a security safe for valuables.  The private plunge pool will refresh and is surrounded by deck and steps to the Balinese gazebo. From the porch, the mountain and garden views are beautiful with many birds and butterflies making their home, including morphos - the electric blue butterfly. 
 
The gardens are ever changing with seasonal fruits and flowers at hand for your enjoyment.  There are paths throughout the 5 acre estate which will lead you through the botanical zen garden, the Labyrinth, through bamboo groves to the Spa House, the meditation stream, or wherever you wander.  You may hear the call of the area resident rainbow macaws, along with many other bird species.
 
And for those considering a more permanent situation in Costa Rica, we will be happy to guide you to trustworthy people who can show you available property in the area.
 
No 4wd vehicle is necessary to access this property.  This retreat will feel remote, but is convenient to activities the area has to offer.
 
This area of Costa Rica is ideal for lovers of gourmet cuisine with a number of the area's finest restaurants.  There's also a popular French bakery nearby with delicious breads, and a Licorcia for those looking for special ingredients to cook at home.  
 
Just 5 minutes away is one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches, Ventanas Beach, and the popular surfer's beach in Dominical, is approximately 30 minutes north. The newly built San Buenas Golf Course is 10 minutes away, and many other local attractions are close by; horseback riding, zip lines, off shore fishing and boating, etc.. For book lovers there is a library within walking distance.   
 
A perfect retreat, honeymoon hideaway, or for the solitude of one, Casa Rica is a place which can be a comfortable home base for exploring the riches of Costa Rica, or a private hideaway to rest and revive.

Beautiful place!

JoAnn Y. Jul 10, 2021

Our stay at Sharon and Mac's property was fantastic from beginning to end. The grounds are as beautiful as any park in Costa Rica, filled with fragrant flowers and many types of birds that I had never seen before. The pool was spotless. With that and all the screened windows, we didn't miss air conditioning at all. A+!

Amazing!

Excellent secluded location very quiet and peaceful while also close to many popular beaches

GARDEN OF EDEN

Johanna B. Nov 17, 2017

"Like being in what I imagine the Garden of Eden to be" is how I described Bali Rica to our friends and family. We are so lucky to have stayed the few days here that we did, but would've loved to have stayed longer. It was everything that we hoped it would be, totally living up to the property description and reviews. If we had done nothing else in Ojachal but stayed on the property.we'd have been totally content, but there is so much to do in the area. There were several beaches just minutes away by car and many amazing restaurants. We hadn't known that Ojachal is considered a foodie destination. Score!! The sunsets were breathtaking and we experienced them from several different hotel/restaurants in the area. We found the people of Costa Rica to be incredibly warm and hospitable and it was no different at Bali Rica. Though we missed meeting the owners, the caretakers, Melissa and Osvaldo, were wonderful. They provided a tour of the grounds upon welcoming us and were very quick to respond when the oscillating fan (which was an added bonus!) stopped working. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Bali Rica if you're looking for peace, serenity, relaxation and romance.

Great Location, Very Relaxing!!!

My wife and I spent about a week in Costa Rica to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We couldn't have had a better place to stay, and our hosts Sharon and Mac were great. We were welcomed by Sharon, who showed us Casa Rica where we'd be staying, and made herself available as a resource throughout the trip. Her Banana Bread and fruit basket was an added plus. Sharon provided great insight on our activities during our stay and offered recommendations on the best places to eat. Casa Rica was a great place somewhat isolated, which allowed us to retreat from the hustle of the day with a cooling dip in the plunge pool or a walk down to the creek, and even some time at the Ojochal Water Falll. The farthest we traveled was less than an hour away, which was also great. Things were close enough to be convenient but far enough to give us some added privacy in the evenings. I recommend this spot to anyone, and will likely stay here on our next trip to Costa Rica!
