This elegant vacation rental home is perched on a panoramic point at 1050 ft elevation. The property on which the house sits consists of 17 acres of jungle of which approximately 80% is virgin rain forest. The large home site offers one of the most outstanding and exceptional 180 degree plus ocean views in all of Costa Rica. Views of the southern Pacific coastline, the Osa peninsula and Caño Island are incredible and reminiscent of Hawaii 25 years ago.

Sunsets throughout most of the year are world class and the colors explode into the entire horizon. The site offers exceptional privacy throughout. A virtual library of birds, monkeys and other wildlife will visit you frequently. Here you will view birds not just from below, but from above. While you drink your morning coffee on the expansive terrace, it isn't unusual to see whales playing in the ocean below.

During the daytime, ocean breezes keep you comfortable and at night the mountain air from behind lets you sleep in comfort without air conditioning. Temperatures on the terrace seldom go below 75 degrees or above 85 degrees year round.
