A Small Country with a Huge Vision
Imagine a magical place where nature surrounds you; an alluring concentration of beauty, rainforests, beaches, landscapes, microclimates and biodiversity. One of the happiest places in the globe, and the world’s capital of hummingbirds.
This is Costa Rica. Consisting only 0.03% of the Earth’s mass, this small country proudly holds 5% of its flora and fauna. 25% of the country is composed of protected areas. Located in the heart of America, it is guided by two seas. The deep green of this dreamlike area entices those seeking for relaxation and adventure, and in its essence lies the preservation and care for the environment. Its commitment to sustainability is undeniable.

You’ll be welcomed (and amazed) by the warmth, education and authenticity of its people; they are unique, happy and caring. Costa Rica is a Nation standing in peace through a long-standing democracy. In fact, this Central American country is one of the only two countries in the world that has not had an army since the year 1949.
¨Pura Vida¨ (pure life) is the country’s law. Locals know how to have fun, and be joyful. And so will you, when you get there.
Green, happiness, solidarity, talent, innovation, quality, biodiversity, transformation… this is Essential Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is one of the world's most unique tourist destinations. The natural beauty, stunning beaches, pleasant climate and the peaceful easy going nature of Costa Ricans make the country an attractive, must see part of the world.
Social and political stability, it’s the oldest Democracy in Latin America.
Strategic geographic location.
Unique natural attractions.
Tremendous diversity in a small territory: Steaming volcanoes, mountains, rivers, Pacific and Atlantic Coast, micro climates, rain forest, cloud forest and dry forest.
It has a wide diversity of habitats, climates and scenery.
Rich natural and scenic heritage is protected in a country-wide system of national parks and private reserves. It has more preserved nature than any other country.
Unrivaled adventure activities: forest hikes, whitewater rafting, zip lining by the tree canopy and all ocean adventures like scuba diving, sea kayaking, swimming, surfing, etc.

Green Costa Rica
In Costa Rica you will experience tropical ecosystems, vast vegetation, pleasant climate, topography, insects and birds. Costa Rica protects approximately 26 percent of its national territory in national parks, wildlife reserves, forest preserves and private reserves.
Costa Rica's Biodiversity in Numbers
Our country holds among the greatest density of species of all countries in the world. This means that on 1 trip, travelers are likely to come in contact with more biodiversity than other places.
Costa Rica packs 4.5% of the world’s known plants and animals (90,000 species) in just .03% of the planet’s surface.
The country is 1 of the top 20 places with more biodiversity in the world and one of the top 10 most rich rainforest ecosystems.
Costa Rican culture is in many ways a reflection of its racial diversity. The predominant influence has long been European, which is reflected in everything from the official language -- Spanish -- to the architecture of the country's churches and other historic buildings. The indigenous influence is less visible, but can be found in everything from the tortillas that make part of a typical Costa Rican meal, to the handmade ceramics.
Costa Rica's cultural legacy is based on love for peace and democracy. The Ticos like to stand out that their nation is the exception in Latin America, where military dictatorships have long dominated politics, take pride in having more than one hundred years of democratic tradition, and almost half a century without an army.

First Vacation in Costa Rica
Our stay at this beautiful house in Punta Leona was absolutely perfect! The location was ideal, offering stunning ocean views and being just a short 4-minute drive by golf cart or car to the beach. We felt very secure with security guards stationed at multiple points throughout the property. The house was impeccably clean, with ocean views from three of the rooms exactly as shown in the listing photos. We opted not to book the optional apartment and found the house spacious enough for our family of five. One of the highlights of our trip was renting a golf cart, which made getting around the Punta Leona property incredibly convenient. The private beach, Playa Blanca, was breathtaking and perfectly matched the beautiful scenery we envisioned for our Costa Rican getaway. A special shout-out to Wade and Johan for their exceptional assistance throughout our stay. Wade's recommendations and tips before our trip were incredibly helpful, and Johan's warm welcome upon arrival made us feel right at home. Johan also helped us book several excursions, each one a fantastic experience. I recommend waiting to book your trips until speaking with Johan for the best experience. If you're considering a stay in this area, I highly recommend putting this house at the top of your list. It truly exceeded our expectations in every way!

Great Location with Fantastic View from Infinity Pool
We had 3 couples, first trip to Costa Rica for all of us. This is such a beautiful place occupied by very friendly people, many speak English. We all highly recommend a visit here. The host Wade will communicate with you on WhatsApp A LOT! :) This is a good thing especially if its your first time to visit. I chatted with Wade several times before our trip and he provided several useful contacts and suggestions for things to do. Both Wade and his assistant, Johan who lives nearby were always available and responsive to messages. The house had plenty of space with amazing views of Punta Leona in every bedroom. When we were at the house we spent most of our time on the deck with refreshingly cold infinity pool also with an amazing view. Highly recommend renting a golf cart if staying here. We had a 6 passenger electric cart that was great for getting up and down the steep hill to an from the beaches and nearby restaurants. Playa Blanca is about a 3 minute cart ride and its the most beautiful. We spent most of our time there. It was an easy drive to Jaco Beach and to Vista Los Suenos Adventure Park.

Costa Rica is beautiful!
The resort was great as far as it had a lot to offer. Beaches are beautiful. We rented the golf carts which was a definite must! Kaly was our transportation to and from the airport as well as our trip to Manuel Antonio National Park and he was amazing and full of information. The house was nice but outdated, could used some touch ups or updated decor. The 4th bedroom was very small, it suited our 16 year old but a couple it would not work for. The microwave didn't work very well and neither did the stove, older appliances and probably need to be replaced. Same with the dishes, some just need to be thrown out. We enjoyed our stay and the house was nice, I feel with a little bit of touch ups it could be perfect. Wade was very helpful, it would be nice to have more information available without having to ask him all the time. Maybe a better map for getting around and what all is available, we had fun driving around and figuring it out so that wasn't bad. The beach was so incredible and the restaurant on the beach was great! Prices were not bad at all! Highly recommend getting food prior to getting to the resort.

good view in a house that needs refreshing
We enjoyed our recent stay at the house but would be remiss not to mention a few challenges we found. The house is within a gated community with a long road to the house. What we didn’t expect was a windy, steep, bumpy and dark-at-night road that took 20+ minutes from the main gate to the house—without traffic, traffic makes it longer. If you are at all hesitant to drive in tricky conditions, this would not be for you. If you want quick access to restaurants, shops or activities you need to consider this before booking. Our challenge with the drive out of the property meant we shifted to more meals and more time at the house. While fully stocked, we found some of the kitchen supplies needing replacement. For example, stained & dirty cutting boards, cooking tools, plastic cups & blender. There weren’t enough serving utensils or bowls. The outdoor patio furniture was only suitable for 5 people and the outdoor picnic tables were not appealing. The bedrooms didn’t offer closet space for our clothes, they were locked or full of stuff. We had to live out of suitcases for the week. The beach & pool club does not automatically come with the rental. We purchased bracelets, but at times parking and towels were challenged by the guards. Johan was not very helpful. The house was not entirely clean or stocked when we arrived. Pros include great A/C, strong WIFI & Playa Blanca. We rented a golf cart from Raquel. She was very helpful in setting it up and recommending people to us.

Helpful owner/Good home
Wade and Johan were very helpful in getting our stay organized and providing a good experience to our family. Johan was very responsive for any of our local needs and questions. He was also well connected to provide us contacts for different activities. Location was very scenic but its a drive up through hilly area to get there. It was 30 minutes from Jaco, so you could go out to eat in a city rather than punta leone. We used a chef for dinner one night, I would highly recommend that. Resort is a bit dated, but it does have the normal activities that a typical resort would have.

Wonderful holiday
Wonderful Four couples stayed in Wade,s lovely villa at Punta Leona for two weeks the views from the house and the pool were exceptional. We saw macaws, parakeets iguanas and raccoons almost every day. Playa Blanca is beautiful, and we had many fun days there, you have easy access to the restaurants and for shade you can rent sun beds and umbrellas at a reasonable price, and the sea temperature was wonderful and the waves so much fun.We saw the capuchin monkeys and was lucky enough to see the baby turtles being released. We booked several tours with Carlos (Transkaly) he was amazing very knowledgeable about the area and funny too and made our holiday we had the best time at mangoes and monkeys boating the guide was brilliant we also did the canopy tram tour at Jaco which we all found was interesting but way too expensive $70.00 US dollars each for little over an hour above the canopy not much to see no birds just different trees. We hired two golf carts they were a lot of fun although we had some problems with them Raquel replaced them for us. Rosa had the villa all ready for us and came back the next week while we were on an excursion and did another clean for us. As there are four couples one of the bedrooms is really small so we swapped after a week, all other three bedrooms were lovely and large with en suites. Johan was very helpful he got us a key for the safe and a technician to fix a problem with the ice maker. Wade provided lots of advice too Pura Vida

A group of 8 of us (four couples) enjoyed staying at this property very much. Wade, the owner is eager to help with everything about your trip to Costa Rica and provides all the information you'll need to plan a great trip. This luxury home is behind 3 guard gates just beyond the Punta Leona Hotel property which is huge. It takes 15 minutes from the entrance to wind your way back to the neighborhood of very high end homes that this is in. Johan, the property manager, was there to welcome us. He arranged for us to get wrist bracelets for the resort so that we could use the resort pools, restaurants and beaches. Playa Blanca is a beautiful beach with gentle surf. Umbrellas & chairs available for rent. I'd highly recommend getting golf carts to rent. Wade gives you all of the contact information to set that up. We rented 2 carts and had a total blast cruising around in them. Makes getting to the beach easy. Johan set us up to dine at a place called La Ostra where they treated us like royalty and he also arranged a private chef dinner at the house. That was a highlight of our entire trip... lounging by the pool at sunset as a great dinner is prepared for you. Awesome! The butterfly garden at the resort is also worth a visit. Magical. Just a note: 3 of the bedrooms are luxurious with awesome views. The 4th is tiny with a bath on a different floor. Best for 3 couples but 4 works if you buy the ones in that 4th room dinner & drinks. Wish we could have stayed longer

Beautiful views of Gulf of Nicoya, in a very spacious, relaxing setting, and the infinity pool is the perfect complement. Lots of local wildlife you can see from the multiple balcony's. Macaws, Toucans, Iguanas and more! The white sand beach -Playa Blanca is close but make sure you rent a golf cart or use a car as the hills are super steep and not ideal for walking.

5 family members stayed for 6 nights over Christmas week. White sand beach was quite nice. While private, it was pretty busy as you might expect for a holiday week. The house is located within a gated resort community within a larger gated development. The wrist bands you need to purchase and wear all the time are like those you wear in a hospital and a bit of a pain. The restaurant inside the complex is mediocre, but there are several nice ones just outside the community. highly recommend La Ostra.

One of our top vacations!
We had such an amazing time in Wade’s home. From start to finish, everything was just perfect! Wade was very helpful giving recommendations and helping to setup airport transfer. Once we got there, Johan walked us through the home and showed us everything we needed to know. It was impeccably clean, thank you Rosa! Johan was the perfect property manager throughout our visit. He helped us setup so many adventures and activities, and recommended fantastic food! We felt so well taken care of during our stay. The highlights of our trip were massages on the balcony (what a view!), ATVs with Ali Riders, surfing lessons in Jaco, private dinner with Chef Jose (do this at least once!), a spice and coffee farm tour at Finca Agrícola el Rocio (a drive but worth it, see it in the morning then go to Manuel Antonio), and ceviche de pescado at La Ostra! And the beach days… Incredible! Definitely get a golf cart (or two!) for your stay. They’re perfect for getting to the beach, community pool, and little grocery stores. They get delivered right to the driveway, it couldn’t be easier! I can’t say enough about how great our experience was. Thank you so much Wade, Johan, and Rosa for everything! We can’t wait to come back!

House with incredible views!
I rented this property for a bachelorette party and we had the time of our lives. The house was clean, spacious, and bedrooms had floor to ceiling windows to capture the views of the ocean. We were extremely lucky to get such good weather during the rainy season and LOVED spending time by the infinity pool. Anything that we needed, Johan was quick to answer and provide for us. Besides a few amenities that were older/not working, the house was perfect for our trip. Just be aware that the house is located deep in a resort and it takes 20 mins alone just to get out of the resort. We had Kalyn as our driver all stay and we highly recommend using him over Ubers and other ride share options. Kalyn was helpful, punctual, and so much fun! Wade the owner, is an extremely communicative host and will go lengths to make sure your stay is perfect. We all highly recommend booking this house!

Johan was super supportive and willing to help with every need. Thanks again Wade for sharing. Pura Vida!

Amazing Property
Place is amazing!! Wade the owner was in town so we got a personal tour of the area as well. The entire house has AC..rare in CR. Kitchen has everything you would need..Great having a washer dryer as well. The view from the pool deck where we had early AM coffee and watched the whales in the distance was wonderful. Make sure you spend time at both Playa Blanca and the main pool area as well. NOTE. It I'm a LONG drive from entrance of Punta Leona to the house but a beautiful area. Sad to leave.

Incredible views
Wade was an excellent host, very helpful and flexible with our groups' needs. The view from almost every corner of the house is amazing. We even saw a whale from the terrace. We had a great time at Punta Leona and enjoyed Playa Blanca!

Amazing views, lots of space, good customer service, air-conditioned
Bottom line: great place to stay! House is great. Views are spectacular. Everyone is super helpful. More details: The listing is accurate & reviews are helpful. As with much of Costa Rica, the roads are very narrow, steep & windy. Beautiful home is 15 minutes from main highway (Rt 34) & road is congested w/walkers, cyclists, buses, etc. especially on Saturday, Sunday & some afternoons. Rent a golf cart for steep inclines getting back from beach. Home has lots of towels, toilet paper, bathrooms, etc. Bring your own hand soap, shower soap, shampoo, toiletries. Home has lots of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, blender, toaster, etc. Bring your own salt, spices, pan spray, storage bags, coffee, storage bowls w/lids if needed. Home has AC & ceiling fans in each bedroom & living area.

Great home and location
Spacious home with wonderful view of the Pacific, particularly from the infinity pool deck. Property manager was very attentive and helpful with excursion recommendations. Recommend renting a golf cart from nearby business to easily get down and up the hill when traveling within the resort area.
